Chapter 165: Just a Little Bit More, and She’ll Be His Girlfriend! _ 1
Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be tempted.
The girl he liked took the initiative to kiss him.
Any man should know what to do.
If he wanted to woo the girl he liked, he had to be more proactive.
If he kept waiting for the girl to take the initiative, who knew when he would die alone.
Lin Fan had wanted to give Xia Wanqiu a romantic scene and confess to her.
But the atmosphere had already reached this point.
Lin Fan really couldn’t take it anymore.
The urge surged into his heart. Lin Fan just wanted to hug Xia Wanqiu in his arms and announce to everyone on Weibo that she was his woman.
At that time, there would be no more scandals between him and Xia Wanqiu.
“Lin Fan, what do you want to say to me?” Xia Wanqiu looked at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes. She placed her hands behind her back and lowered her head slightly.
“I’m listening,” Xia Wanqiu said softly, her cheeks even redder.
“I…” Lin Fan looked up at Xia Wanqiu’s expectant eyes.
At this moment, as a man, what was there to be afraid of?
He said those words to her directly.
Then, she would be his girlfriend.
Even if there was a risk of failure, it did not matter.
Just as he made up his mind, Lin Fan spoke.
“I like…” Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door.
The shyness on Xia Wanqiu’s face deepened. She hurriedly opened the door and saw Lin Qianwei standing at the door.
When Lin Qianwei saw the two of them together, she hurriedly bowed and said, “Brother Fan, Sister Wanqiu, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have knocked.”
Xia Wanqiu smiled sweetly. “It’s fine. What’s the matter?”
Lin Qianwei said, “Previously, it was all endorsements who wanted to sign a contract with Brother Fan. Brother Fan asked me to reject them all, but this time, a gaming company came and wanted to buy the game adaptation rights for ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’. Their offer was quite high, so I came to ask Brother Fan what he thinks.”
Xia Wanqiu smiled and said, “Then wait a moment. I’ll go say something to him and leave.”
Xia Wanqiu returned to her room and looked at Lin Fan. She made a cute gesture. “Whatever you wanted to say, let’s talk about it next time ~ Let’s get down to business first.”
Then, Xia Wanqiu left.
Lin Fan looked at Xia Wanqiu’s back view and wanted to slap himself.
If he didn’t hesitate, this matter would be settled.
He should have said it faster.
But Lin Qianwei couldn’t be blamed for this.
After all, Lin Qianwei was his manager. During this period of time, Lin Qianwei was also very busy.
Lin Fan took a deep breath and woke up.
He was too impulsive just now and almost confessed to his wife.
Since he did not succeed, he would give her a romantic environment on her birthday and confess to her.
Lin Fan smiled brightly. He wanted to give her a surprise.
As for when he would confess to her, Lin Fan wasn’t in a hurry.
He wanted it to be more memorable for her.
She liked romance, so he would give her a romantic paradise.
It was less than a week to her birthday.
Lin Fan could afford to wait another week.
“What company? What’s their offer?” Lin Fan walked out and asked Lin Qianwei.
He did not sign deals with those endorsements because after signing them, he had to work very hard to follow his schedule, take photos, and do some activities.
However, Lin Fan didn’t mind having more money. If a game company came to buy the copyright, as long as the price was right, he could sell it.
Lin Qianwei said, “Its full name is Great Universe Information Company. The person in charge of this company is willing to pay 18 million yuan to buy the rights to adapt ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ into a game. You have to discuss the details with the person in charge personally though.”
Lin Fan nodded. 18 million wasn’t bad.
And if the game could be developed, it would increase the popularity of The Legend of Sword and Fairy a lot. In the end, “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” would become more and more popular.
“Sure, help me contact them,” said Lin Fan as he returned to his office.
“Alright,” Lin Qianwei agreed.
In the afternoon, a call came in.
“Mr. Lin, hello. I’m the person in charge of Great Universe Information Company, Little Wang. I want to buy the rights to adapt ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ into a game. I wonder if you have time to talk about it,” Little Wang said.
“I heard from my manager that you guys offered 18 million. I can sell the game adaptation rights but you’ll have to increase your offer,” said Lin Fan on the phone.
“Of course. Mr. Lin, the television drama ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ is very popular. Can we discuss the exact price in person?” Little Wang continued.
“There’s no need to talk in person. My time is limited. If you agree, I’ll sign the contract directly.”
“My condition is that the price to adapt ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ into a game must be increased to 30 million. At the same time, I want 10% of the profits your company receives after The Legend of Sword and Fairy is made into a game as dividends,” said Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knew that “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” was very popular. The viewership ratings had already set a historical record for nearly 30 years in the country. Whether it was adults or children, everyone knew about this television drama.
If this television drama was adapted into a game, it would definitely be more popular. It was actually quite reasonable to ask for 10% of the company’s profits.
If they could use just 18 million to buy the rights to adapt “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” into a game, Lin Fan would lose out.
Although 18 million was a lot, if a game could earn a lot of money, the profits would be unimaginable.
For example, Honor of Kings’ annual profits were terrifyingly high.
After Lin Fan made his request, the other party fell silent.
Lin Fan continued, “It’s fine if you don’t agree. I think there are also many other game companies, such as NetEase, Tencent, and so on, who want to buy the game adaptation rights for this television series.”
Lin Fan wasn’t worried that he wouldn’t be able to sell the game adaptation rights. After a television drama became popular, there were many industries that it could be linked to.
For example, figurines, merchandise, posters, television dramas, movies, cartoons, and various IPs.
The entire entertainment industry was a closed loop. The popularity of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” was destined to drive the entire industry.
As expected, after Lin Fan said this, the person in charge of Great Universe Information Company, Little Wang, also said, “Mr. Lin, this still needs to be discussed internally in our company. Can you give us some time? I’ll give you an answer tonight.”
Lin Fan nodded. “Sure. Let’s contact each other again tonight.”
At night, Lin Fan rested at home.
Great Universe Information Company called again.
The moment Lin Fan picked up the phone, Little Wang said excitedly, “Mr. Lin, our company has unanimously agreed to give you 30 million yuan for the game adaptation fee and 10% of the profits as dividends. However, we have a small request.”
“After the game is adapted, our company wants to invite you to be the spokesperson for the game. Of course, we will give you a high endorsement fee,” Little Wang said.
“You’re asking me to endorse the game?” When Lin Fan heard that, he just smiled and said, “I don’t accept any endorsements, but I can recommend Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu to be the spokespeople of ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’. However, they’re very expensive.”
Little Wang became even more excited after hearing that.
Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu were the top celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Especially Xia Wanqiu. Her popularity had been quite high recently, and many companies wanted to sign an endorsement deal with her.
Xia Wanqiu’s popularity had already exceeded Lin Kexin’s.
The Legend of Sword and Fairy made Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu even more popular.
Most of the people who would come to play the game were guys, so Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu were the most suitable to be the spokespeople of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”.
This way, he could attract more male players to play this game.
Little Wang immediately said, “Alright, Mr. Lin. Thank you very much. It’s very difficult to invite Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu to be our spokespeople. But don’t worry, we’ll pay any amount!”
Lin Fan nodded. “Alright, it’s settled then. Let’s find a time to sign the contract.”
Little Wang nodded. “Sure, Mr. Lin. Our people will fly to Shanghai overnight and bring the contract to Yuehua for you to sign. At the same time, we will sign the endorsement contract for Miss Xia and Miss Su.”
The next day, Lin Fan arrived at the company and told them about this.
The people from Yuehua Entertainment looked at Lin Fan enviously.
One had to know that this was close to 30 million yuan in adaptation fees!
30 million yuan was a sum that many people would never be able to earn in their entire lives.
“Brother Fan, you’re too awesome. You sold the game adaptation rights of just like that.”
“Yeah, Brother Fan is awesome. With 30 million and 10% of the profits as dividends, he might be able to become a billionaire with this game in the future!”
“No, Brother Fan is already a billionaire!”
Looking at everyone, Lin Fan just smiled and knocked on Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu’s office.
“Meow, meow?” Xia Wanqiu was wearing an exceptionally beautiful dress today. Needless to say, Su Xiaoyu stuck her head out and looked at Lin Fan too.
“Wanqiu, you don’t have an endorsement now. I’ve helped you contact one.”
“When the game ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ is adapted, they’ll invite the two of you to be the spokespeople of this game. They’ll probably pay you pretty well,” said Lin Fan with a smile.
“Master, Master, is it something like this? Hello Evlywan. I’m Zha Zhahui. I’ll recommend a soopah fun game for evlywan. It’s called Playful Blue Moon” Su Xiaoyu laughed. She thought of a game advertisement some time ago that was like this. Because the celebrity’s Mandarin pronunciation was improper, this advertisement became popular as a meme on the?internet.1
Lin Fan knocked on Su Xiaoyu’s head and said, “What are you thinking about every day? This is a very legitimate large-scale game. It’s not like the web-based games you mentioned. They’re all very legitimate. Remember to wear prettier clothes.”
Su Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and puffed out her chest. “Master, am I not pretty? I have big breasts too.”
Xia Wanqiu looked at Su Xiaoyu and puffed out her chest.
And then…
Su Xiaoyu was instantly killed.
