"Their looks are all so high!"

"They're siblings after all, it's normal for them to be good-looking!"

"Mr. Xu has a unique temperament, what kind of family could cultivate that?"

"It's so annoying, why am I so ugly?"

Everyone was filled with envy.

Xu Lin interacted with a few girls before following Ranzhi to the meeting room.

The meeting room was still empty, Ranzhi said they hadn't arrived yet, suggesting the two sit while someone came in to serve tea and water.

Just then, with the sound of footsteps, two men and a woman entered, all dressed in suits.

"Mr. Xu, hello hello!"

The middle-aged man with glasses at the front reached out his hand first. Xu Lin and Chi Linyue got up, with Xu Lin extending his hand to shake hands, and the other two also shook hands with Xu Lin.

"Hello, my name is Xu Lin!"

The middle-aged man with glasses was Wang Minghua, one of the company executives, and among the three here, he was the most senior.

Wang Minghua looked at Chi Linyue, "Mr. Xu, and this is?"

"This is my sister, she came with me."

"I see."

Wang Minghua glanced at Chi Linyue.

He found this girl's beauty astounding, but that wasn't the point. Wang Minghua had climbed to this level, with a discerning eye, realizing this girl was quite exceptional, with an incredibly strong aura.

Moreover, Mr. Xu's presence was also very strong and unique, just meeting his gaze was a bit unsettling, conveying a sense of belonging to a prestigious family... perhaps not quite, more like the aura of an important figure.

Hence, Xu Lin and Chi Linyue's arrival made everyone reconsider their perception.

For the website side, you are an author, in plain terms, just a mere book writer, and I'm the one who gave you a platform, gave you the opportunity, the relationship was inherently unequal. Especially considering most authors, even the renowned ones, are typically homebody types, much like esports players in the gaming circle, primarily spending time honing their craft, leading to limited external interaction and ultimately a lack of social experience, making them easy to handle.

But Xu Lin?

If you think you can handle him, you probably can't.

When everyone met, Wang Minghua and his team already dared not underestimate Xu Lin.

Everyone chatted as they sat down.

After about ten minutes, the copyright people arrived too, four of them in total, two men and two women.

Everyone stood up, exchanged greetings, and got acquainted, exchanging pleasantries.

Going through the process, nothing unusual.

Soon, the copyright negotiation began.

Xu Lin presented his key demands.

That is, as the original author, he must have a say in the subsequent film adaptation.

Wang Minghua said, "I have no objections to that."

This book by Xu Lin is overly phenomenal, and moreover, Xu Lin is now starting to venture into entertainment with remarkable effect. For someone like Xu Lin, Wang Minghua finds his demands very reasonable.

Now, it was the turn of the key figure from the copyright side, a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was Lin Yu.

Chi Linyue said to Lin Yu, "President Lin, what do you think?"

"Miss Chi, I think it's perfectly fine, the original author having a say over their work is a normal demand."

Chi Linyue and Lin Yu had met before, more acquaintances in passing than friends, but they exchanged pleasantries.

Previously, Chi Linyue told Xu Lin about knowing a person, who was Lin Yu, who bought a book's copyright for twenty million. Of course, that doesn't compare to Xu Lin's current work.

However, Lin Yu continued, "But I also have one demand; I wonder if Mr. Xu and Miss Chi can agree?"

"What demand?"

Chi Linyue asked.

Xu Lin also said, "Let's hear it."

Lin Yu: "I see Mr. Xu can write books and songs, in both fields, one could say, he's at the pinnacle. I wonder if Mr. Xu is interested in scriptwriting? I think if Mr. Xu can be the screenwriter for the subsequent drama, every issue becomes non-existent."

Chi Linyue looked at Xu Lin to the side, quietly asking: "Can you do screenwriting?"

Xu Lin: "Screenwriting isn't an issue for me either, so I can be the screenwriter for the future drama, right?"

"Yes!"

Lin Yu nodded, "If things go smoothly, both TV series and films will come out! Mr. Xu's work, we've done market research, and for the current market, it's absolutely phenomenal, with high discussion all around, possessing significant potential for film adaptation!"

Xu Lin nodded slightly.

Although he isn't a screenwriter, his writing and learning talent are evident. In such relevant industries, Xu Lin can easily cross disciplines, as long as he's the screenwriter, it's fine.

This way, there won't be any dumb screenwriter messing around, and my work remains under my control.

The copyright negotiation took about an hour.

In the end, the copyright value was agreed upon by all three parties.

A sky-high copyright!

One billion in total!

From the copyright side, through negotiation, Xu Lin gained significant authority, including the greatest rights over his work as the screenwriter, and regarding film adaptation earnings, Xu Lin, as the author, could earn 8% of the net revenue.

Don't underestimate 8%, not every author gets that, especially when it becomes a film or TV series, that's called splitting with the gentry. A drama or film, checking the investment ends at the closing credits, some have a few, while others have a bunch, all of whom require cut of the earnings, whereas normally the author, the original author, is the weakest because other authors might just have their name listed, often not having a share afterwards.
