Xiang Nan is right.
He was still a student and had plenty of time, so he could drag it out for ten or eight years.
But Tsui Hark couldn't delay it any longer. "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" has been in preparation for two years, and a lot of effort has been put into it. If you delay any longer, the cost will be higher.
Investors, especially, are waiting for the project to start so they can make money as soon as possible. Every day of delay is a day of loss, and we simply cannot afford to delay.
So just one million, it's within her budget anyway.
…
Xiang Nan immediately signed an agreement with Xiao Yun to transfer the film and television adaptation rights of "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" and "Detective Dee: The Dragon King of the Dragon King".
It also limits the number of adaptations, deadlines, scope of adaptations, etc. Avoid being delayed in adapting the film after getting the rights to adapt it for film and television. Or the story is drastically cut, or even the entire story is ruined.
At the same time as the transfer, he also received a copyright fee of two million. As soon as the money arrived, Xiang Nan suddenly became a small rich man.
"Classmate Chen, I have met so many young people. Among them, you are considered a figure." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
It's really good to be able to earn a huge sum of two million in my sophomore year.
"Ms. Xiao, you are so flattering." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Actually, I just took advantage of others' danger."
"You really understand." Xiao Yun nodded.
If it weren't for the "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" project that has been delayed for two years, it would be difficult to delay it any longer. She would never offer such a high price to a young man who was just starting out.
"Okay, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future." Xiao Yun said again.
"Yes." Xiang Nan smiled, "By the way, Ms. Xiao, I majored in architectural design and have some research on ancient architecture. If the crew needs a set, I can help."
Although most of the buildings in "Detective Dee: The Tongtian Empire" were completed with green screen cutouts and computer special effects. But the blueprints and models of these buildings are still drawn and made by people.
As a student of the Department of Architectural Design, Xiang Nan can still participate. This also makes it easier for him to apply what he has learned and accumulate experience.
"Okay, I will think about it." Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Xiang Nan is very smart and good at seizing the opportunity. She still admires him very much.
Moreover, as the author of the story, his understanding and grasp of the entire story must be beyond ordinary people. It doesn't seem like a bad thing for him to participate in the production of the movie.
…
"What, sold for two million?!" Zheng Wei said with a shocked look on his face.
She really didn't expect that two copies could be sold for so much money. Two million, stacked together, is probably higher than her.
"Azheng, am I not dreaming?" she asked in disbelief.
"Of course not." Xiang Nan smiled, "We really made so much money."
"Wow, it's just...just..." Zheng Wei was a little incoherent.
Although she came from a well-off family and had never worried about money since she was a child, she was still overly excited when she saw so much money.
"Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, there will be many opportunities for us to make a fortune in the future, so don't get too excited." Xiang Nan smiled and reassured, "I'm so excited when I see two million. I'll see you later. When it reaches 20 million or 200 million, why don't you just slap it over?"
"Yeah." Zheng Wei nodded, took a few breaths, and gradually calmed down, "Then Zheng, how do you plan to spend so much money?"
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Xiang Nan did not answer, but asked with a smile.
"Me?!" Zheng Wei was stunned, then shook his head. All she could think about was eating a big meal and buying a big meal, and then she didn't know.
"Since you don't have it, then listen to me. How about we use the money to buy a house?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Buy a house?! Why buy a house?" Zheng Wei was a little confused.
"Little fool, of course buying a house is an investment. As you have seen in recent years, the urban population is increasing and housing prices are getting more and more expensive.
Ten years ago, I would rather have a bed in Puxi than an apartment in Pudong. Now even the house prices in Pudong have risen to over 10,000 yuan. If we don’t buy a house, we won’t even be able to afford it in Pudong in the future.
You don’t want us to get married in the future and not even have a house, but be forced to rent a house, right? Xiang Nan smiled.
"Yeah." Zheng Wei blushed and nodded.
Although, she didn't think as far as Xiang Nan thought and even considered marriage. But it would be really a good thing to have my own house in Hujiang.
…
Xiang Nan immediately started buying a house.
Because the timeline of "To Youth" is relatively confusing, he didn't dare to invest in the stock market.
However, you can still invest in the property market.
Especially now in 2007, housing prices in Hujiang are still relatively cheap.
For example, a house in Baoshan District is only 5,000 to 6,000 square meters, a house in Pudong is only over 10,000 yuan, and a house in Changning District is only 20,000 yuan... Comparing the house prices ten years later, it is like picking up for free.
Therefore, Xiang Nan immediately bought eight houses in one go with a down payment and a loan.
Although the monthly repayment costs more than 20,000 yuan, Xiang Nan thinks it is still worth it.
…
"No way, I made two million, my God!" Li Weijuan said with a look of shock.
"Weiwei, did you say two more zeros? Two million, wow, how many skewers of Malatang will this cost!" Zhu Xiaobei also looked incredulous.
"Weiwei, your Chen Xiaozheng is really capable." Even Ruan Guan said with admiration.
Although her boyfriend Zhao Shiyong is much richer than Xiang Nan, that's because his father is rich, not because he earned it himself.
So in comparison, Xiang Nan is still superior.
"That's natural! The man I chose can't be any worse." Zheng Wei said proudly.
When she refused Xu Kaiyang to pursue Xiang Nan, many people thought she was asking for trouble, losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds. Now it turns out that not only is she not a fool, but she is very discerning.
Xiang Nan has earned two million by himself, and there will be many opportunities to make big money in the future. In comparison, although Xu Kaiyang is also rich, he only relies on his father, and is far less secure than Xiang Nan who started from scratch and relied on himself.
"Well, you are indeed qualified to say that." Everyone smiled enviously.
…
Immediately, Xiang Nan wrote that he had earned two million, and it spread across the entire campus like the wind.
"Two million?! It's really fake, it's impossible, right?"
"I think it's too exaggerated. Is it so profitable to write about it?"
"Will Chen Xiaozheng's writing be favored by director Tsui Hark? This is too much of a boast."
After many people heard this rumor, their first reaction was not to believe it, thinking it was too exaggerated.
However, Zheng Wei, Ruan Guan, Zhu Xiaobei, Li Weijuan, Zhang Kaiyang, Xu Kaiyang, Zeng Yu and others knew that this matter was really true.
"This guy Chen Xiaozheng!" When Xu Kaiyang heard the news, he threw the water glass in his hand again.
Zeng Yuze broke the pen in his hand with a click. Once Xiang Nan got rich, it became even more impossible to be with her, which made her really happy for him and depressed for herself.
