Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 836 - 835: Film and Television Rights

Because this is the first time a novel by Han Mingyue has been picked for adaptation into a screenplay, and then made into a movie or TV series!

So he has become more cautious and did not immediately agree over the phone to discuss prices.

Instead, he first found an excuse for himself, saying he needed to consider whether to sell, and then discuss the price issue.

After hanging up the phone, the first thing he wanted to do was send a message to Zhen Yu and tell her about it!

But after holding the phone and calming down for a few seconds, Han Mingyue held back and sent nothing.

Because he was worried about interrupting Zhen Yu’s studies.

After all, it wasn’t something urgent or monumental, so he might as well wait until Zhen Yu is back from her noon class to talk about it!

After walking into the bedroom with the phone, this time Han Mingyue learned his lesson and directly set the phone to vibrate and tucked it under the pillow...

Then he looked at the outline on the computer and began to search for inspiration again.

After her class, Zhen Yu originally wanted to ask what Han Mingyue and her brother wanted to eat for lunch, so she could buy something to bring back for the two.

But when she called Han Mingyue, no one answered, and there was no reply to her text messages, so she had no choice but to call Zhen Yan.

On Zhen Yan’s side, it was noisy and chaotic, no idea what he was busy with! After understanding his sister’s meaning, he said directly on the phone: "I’m not coming back for lunch and dinner! You and Han Mingyue figure out what you want to eat yourselves!"

Zhen Yu said "oh" and then decisively hung up her brother’s call.

It’s good that he’s not coming back! As if she really missed him!

If he hadn’t suddenly showed up that day, maybe she would have... sigh!

Every time she thinks about what happened that day, Zhen Yu feels so exhausted!

——

When Zhen Yu returned home with three tiers of steamed buns, Han Mingyue was still sitting in front of the computer, focused on typing.

Even though he heard the sound of the security door, he remained unmoving, with his eyes fixated on the computer, never leaving.

Zhen Yu, seeing this, knew he was at a critical point in writing.

So she didn’t disturb him, put down her things, took off her down jacket and hung it up, then went straight to the bathroom to wash her hands.

After washing her hands, she waited on the sofa for about ten minutes before Han Mingyue finally stood up from the computer.

"I’ll go wash my hands, be right there!"

Zhen Yu then got up from the sofa, "Alright, then I’ll set the tableware."

During vacation days, everything is at ease; they ate a simple lunch, after which Han Mingyue pulled Zhen Yu to the sofa to sit down.

"I received a call this morning! It was from the editor-in-chief of Qihang Net."

Upon hearing the name of this website, Zhen Yu felt disgusted! Immediately said: "What do they want with you? There are plenty of ’big names’ on that site!"

Hmph! Such a garbage website full of Book Copyists! Better not lead her Han Mingyue astray!

"Besides! Haven’t you already signed with a particular site?"

Han Mingyue chuckled and reached out to gently tap Zhen Yu’s head, "They’re not looking for me about the book, well, not quite! They’re interested in my first book, saying they want to buy its film rights. What do you think?"

Zhen Yu’s eyes immediately widened! "Film rights?!"

This is just too much... truly without comparison, there is no harm!

She hasn’t even published a single book until now! Yet Han Mingyue’s book has already become a hit...

——

After secretly feeling sorry for herself for a second, Zhen Yu sharply asked the key question.

"How much is the offer?"

Han Mingyue’s expression was somewhat strange, "They refused to say over the phone and insisted on meeting to discuss."

Zhen Yu frowned, "No bottom line price offered? Just wants to meet directly?"

Han Mingyue: "Hmm! Insists on treating me to lunch."

"Who gave him the face!? Why so bold!" Zhen Yu got angry upon seeing Han Mingyue nod!

"You’re someone now! Can anyone just see you whenever they want? Who does he think he is? Jade Emperor or something!"

After hearing this, Han Mingyue was amused!

He was about to make a joke with Zhen Yu when he saw her face suddenly change!

So he quickly asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Zhen Yu glanced at Han Mingyue, then said: "I suddenly remembered something! Luckily you didn’t go for that meal! Otherwise, it would definitely be a trap!"

"Why do you say that?" Han Mingyue was extremely curious: "Is it related to what you just remembered? Tell me!"

Zhen Yu raised her hand to her heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Actually, it’s simple! There was an author whose book was also noticed, they wanted to buy his film rights."

Han Mingyue blinked, "And then?"

"And then he was tricked into drinking, and while drunk, sold all rights for one hundred thousand yuan!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

——

"How did you find out about this?!"

Zhen Yu hesitated, then expressionlessly said, "I heard from others in a QQ group!"

Han Mingyue lowered his eyes to weigh the pros and cons carefully, then raised his eyes to look at her! In a serious tone, he said to Zhen Yu: "Just pretend I didn’t receive this call!"

Zhen Yu pursed her lips, momentarily unsure whether she should persuade Han Mingyue to give it a try, just in case, or not.

After all, Zhen Yu has been one hundred percent certain for a long time now that Qihang Net was created by reborn individuals! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The last time Zhen Yu checked the site, Feng Jiu’s works were still on Qihang Net!

So there is a possibility that Zhang Yufeng is actually one of the masterminds.

Whereas Long Aotian’s works were already all transferred to the Huanmou Alliance website.

So the possibility of Xing Ming’s involvement in the matter was greatly reduced...

Regardless, whether the site was created by a single ’Plagiarism God’ or by some people in partnership, Zhen Yu could find out about the ’one hundred thousand yuan for all rights of a book’ incident, so the other party could definitely know too!

Thus Zhen Yu thinks it’s very likely that Han Mingyue won’t be the only bestselling author receiving calls about buying rights!

If these reborn individuals exploit the lack of current network literature IP operations and buy up bestselling original authors’ rights... who knows how many poor writers will fall for it and suffer losses!

Thinking of this, Zhen Yu immediately felt sorry for those people!

But having neither connections nor capabilities, what else can she do besides issuing warnings in QQ groups...
