C13 The Movie Rights of the Novel

"I know you must have something to do, so you came to me! Tell me, what do you want to talk about? "

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then I won't force you. I came to you today because I have good news to tell you!"

" What good news? " Su Nuannuan walked to the computer desk and sat down while holding her phone. She reached out and pressed the computer's power.

"The sci-fi novel you wrote earlier was chosen by a film company. They want to buy the copyright, and the website is talking to them!"

"Really?" Su Nuannuan was completely stunned. Why did that film company take a fancy to such an unpopular topic?

"Hua, are you joking with me? When I first wrote that novel, I didn't have any views at all. Other than the basic script fees, I didn't even get a single cent of the profit!"

" I told you long ago that your novel might not be popular in the female channel, but if it's adapted into a movie or a television series, it might be popular! "

Su Nuannuan saw that Hua's tone did not sound like she was joking and she could not help but believe it. But she restrained her emotions and repeatedly said that it was only the stage of discussion and she did not know if it would be successful in the end!

"Since that is the case, let the website come forward to talk about it. I have worked with the website for so many years and I still trust you guys. Furthermore, I'm the author, and I'm only responsible for writing. As for the expansion of channels, you are the professionals. I will listen to you!"

"You trust us that much? You don't even ask how much copyright you can get?"

Su Nuannuan smiled. "The copyright fees are fifty-fifty for me and the website. If the website wants to make money, it will naturally ask the film company for a high price. I don't need to worry!"

"You are so generous!" On the other end of the phone, Hua smiled and said, "The reason I called you today was to inform you of this matter, although the website is still discussing the specifics with that film company. But basically confirmed. Also, you also need to make preparations. The film company might look for you to discuss it with you personally. I heard from my colleagues at the operations side that the film company seems to be very curious about the purpose of your writing of this novel. Furthermore, your novel is a short mid-range novel. They might increase your plot and make your story fuller."

Su Nuannuan slightly frowned, "Increasing the plot is not a problem. In any case, many of the content that I originally thought of was not added because I did not subscribe well at that time. If it was added now, it would also be ready-made. But is there a need to discuss the purpose of my creation with me personally? "

" I'm just saying that it's possible. It's not confirmed yet, so you should prepare first! "

"Alright!" Su Nuannuan replied with some unwillingness and unwillingness in her heart.

"Okay, that's it. I still have a few scripts that I haven't reviewed yet. I will go and do my work first. I will inform you when there is a result in the future. Also, hurry up and write me a novel. Don't find an excuse to delay it when it's time to submit the drafts! "

Su Nuannuan hurriedly agreed, expressing that she would definitely deliver the script on time this month and that she would hand in more drafts.

Of course, as a senior editor, Hua would not believe such words. All authors would be in such a state of confidence in the few days that they had just completed their drafts, but no matter how confident they were, if the author did not take action, then these words were nonsense.

Just like Su Nuannuan at this moment, sitting in front of the computer for half an hour. She had only written less than a thousand words and was already somewhat unable to sit still. She felt that the sunlight coming in through the window was a little dazzling, so she got up and went to pull the curtains. After she pulled the curtains, she felt that the room was a little dark, so she turned on the lights again. When she went to turn on the lights, she saw from the corner of her eyes that the rag that was thrown into the sink had not been washed yet. She conveniently went to wash the rag again. After she finished washing the rag, she thought of the seaweed soup that she had to drink tonight. So she turned around and went to the kitchen to open the fridge to get the seaweed.

However, the moment the fridge door opened, Su Nuannuan suddenly realized that... There was nothing at all. Hence, she completely forgot about writing novels. She took her wallet, changed into a new set of clothes, and left the room. She prepared to go to the supermarket and buy a lot.

On the way to the supermarket, Su Nuannuan also did a deep reflection. How could she only remember to buy daily necessities these two days and forget to buy ingredients? After all, she was a writer who stayed at home all day long. Her three meals had to be settled at home. If she ate take-out every day, not only would it cost her money, but it would also cost her money. It would also be detrimental to her health.

When Su Nuannuan came back with enough ingredients, she looked at the refrigerator that was filled to the brim. She felt extremely satisfied. When her gaze fell on the computer screen that had automatically turned black because it had not been operated for a long time, Su Nuannuan finally had a trace of self-blame in her heart.

As she blamed herself, she looked at the clock hanging on the wall. When she saw the time, this trace of self-blame immediately disappeared without a trace.

It was time for dinner. It was time for her to make dinner!

When Su Nuannuan finished cooking and enjoyed the delicious meal, she sat back in front of the computer in satisfaction. It was already seven o'clock.

This also meant that for Su Nuannuan, who was determined to adjust her work and rest and sleep before ten o'clock every night, after deducting the one hour of washing up, she only had two hours of writing time.

Within two hours, with Su Nuannuan's hand speed, she could only write about four thousand words. And four thousand words were really too little.

Su Nuannuan slapped her head hard, "It's over. I wasted another day! Thirty days a month, plus the few days of tidying up the house, there was only twenty-seven days left to write!"

Su Nuannuan evenly spread out the number of draft papers she submitted this month. She realized that in the following days, she only needed to write about ten thousand words a day. Then she would be able to complete the mission this month. And ten thousand words only needed a little more than five hours. This was completely within the workload range that she could afford!

With this calculation, Su Nuannuan only felt a sense of relief in her heart. The little bit of pressure that she had just felt instantly dissipated.

Hence, Su Nuannuan, who was called by the editor as not having any pressure, felt at ease and picked up her phone to browse Weibo's trending page.

Fortunately, Su Nuannuan's self-control was also not that bad. When it was past nine o'clock, she chatted with the author in the group. She got up and went to wash up. After washing up, she was not sleepy at all. However, she still forced her to lie on the bed and turn off the light.

Su Nuannuan only fell asleep after a long period of self-hypnosis.

The next day, when Su Nuannuan was awakened by the sunlight outside the window, she exercised a little on the bed. She thought that since she slept so early last night, she would definitely wake up very early today.
