Chapter 10 No money, still no money
"Mom, I'm doing fine at school!"
"Didn't you see the news? I ran into Liu Yifei the night before last. How could I possibly be tricked into going to a place like that!"
Lu Yuan could only try to explain, but fearing his mother wouldn't believe him, he simply told her the news.
"Liu Yifei? The one who acted in 'Chinese Paladin'?"
"Yes, you can see my news when you look at the entertainment section of your computer browser."
Lu Yuan heard his mother instructing his father, clearly indicating that both of them were at home at this time.
"Lu Changhe, search for news about Liu Yifei."
"What's wrong?" Lu's father asked.
"Your son is on the entertainment news. I told you to watch it, so watch it," Lu's mother said in a commanding tone.
Then there was a moment of silence on both ends of the phone.
Lu Yuan was saying something, while Lu's mother clearly moved closer to Lu's father to see if there was any news.
"Hahaha... This news is hilarious! It even says you proposed to Liu Yifei... Hahaha..."
Suddenly, Lu's mother burst into wild laughter, leaving Lu Yuan, on the other end of the phone, somewhat speechless.
"Good job, son. I'm rooting for you," said Mr. Lu, his voice tinged with amusement.
"Hahaha……"
Lu's mother laughed even louder.
Lu Yuan didn't need to guess to know that his mother thought Liu Yifei looked down on him.
They also felt that the two were completely unrelated, so how could there be such outrageous news!
"Mom, stop laughing, we need to talk about serious business!"
"Yes, let's get down to business. Lao Lu, play that song called 'Who' on QQ Music's new song chart."
At this moment, Lu's mother was in a good mood and also wanted to listen to her son's songs.
It also allows you to verify whether what your son said is true or false, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Lu's father listened to his wife. He opened QQ Music and, sure enough, saw that the number one song on the new song chart was "Who".
He clicked play directly, even though he didn't know why he was playing this song, but he figured he could just listen to his wife!
Lu's mother also took a closer look at the lyricist and composer, and sure enough, she saw that it was her son, Lu Yuan.
However, Mr. Lu didn't notice any of this; he was busy with his own things.
He didn't hear his son and wife's conversation at all, so he didn't know the song was his son's.
However, upon hearing the sound, he immediately sat up straight.
"This...this is Xiaoyuan's voice?" Lu's father asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it's Xiao Yuan's song, which he also wrote himself."
"No wonder he's my son!" Dad Lu slapped his thigh, beaming with excitement.
Hearing his parents' happy voices on the phone, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile too.
"Changhe, now you see your son's talent, don't you? This is something that can make money."
"Yes, I saw him. My son is amazing."
"My son wants to buy the copyright to a script and wants to ask the family for some money."
So that's where they were waiting for me!
However, since his son was successful, Lu Changhe didn't dwell on it too much.
"Six hundred thousand?" he asked uncertainly.
He said he hadn't heard the conversation between the mother and son.
But he could hear his wife raising her voice to 600,000 volts perfectly clearly!
Now that we put them together, it all makes sense.
"Yes, it's 600,000."
"This is what I think: when the children grow up, they will be able to earn their own money."
"Anyway, we've already saved up money for his wife. If we lose it all, it'll be his wife's money that's going to be lost."
"He'll earn his own money to get married in the future."
Lu's mother was still soft-hearted and directly expressed her thoughts.
Lu Changhe considered the matter with a serious expression, although there was indeed some truth to it.
But if they really lose money, do you really think their parents would just ignore it?
"Xiao Yuan, how much income will this song actually bring you?"
He wanted to first assess whether his son had the ability to earn money, and he needed to take everything into consideration.
I can't let my son do whatever he wants, after all, he hasn't even entered society yet.
Little did he know that his son had been reborn and wouldn't make investments he wasn't confident about.
"I estimate that he can earn one or two million a year."
Lu Yuan stated a figure: currently, songs rely on a combination of revenue sharing from ringtones and a small amount from VIP memberships.
His song is so powerful right now, it's ranked number one on the new song chart.
He can still earn one or two million a year, and if he becomes even more popular, he might earn even more.
Because a person's popularity can also boost the sales of their songs, this number is not fixed.
"So many!" Mrs. Lu was a little surprised; she really hadn't expected there to be so many.
"Are you sure?" asked Mr. Lu.
"Yeah, with my song being so popular right now, there's no way it won't make money."
"Okay, that's enough for you. We'll give you 600,000."
"But your mother and I will take leave to come to Yanjing to find out the situation in person."
Mr. Lu made the decision immediately and stopped worrying about other issues.
However, he also wanted to ask in person to clarify things, since some things are difficult to discuss over the phone.
"Okay, Dad, please hurry up over there. The copyright needs to be finalized in the next few days."
"Okay, we'll ask for leave right away and leave at noon."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad."
……
The family chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief; the money issue was now resolved.
Then you should contact Jinjiang immediately, since the novel's copyright is in their hands.
When it comes to copyright negotiations, it's usually with Jinjiang (the Chinese online literature platform), and authors generally don't have much say.
He went straight to the phone number for purchasing the copyright from Jinjiang Literature City and called without hesitation.
They were very polite when they heard he wanted to buy the copyright.
"Sir, are you interested in purchasing the film and television rights to 'The Journey of Flower'?"
"Yes, I am interested in purchasing the television rights to this novel."
……
The price offered in Jinjiang was a staggering 120 million yuan, which was an astronomical price at that time!
However, Lu Yuan only has a maximum of 600,000 yuan, which makes things a bit difficult.
He suddenly realized a mistake: the 500,000 he had heard about seemed to have ended up in the author's hands.
In other words, the TV series rights to this novel were actually sold for one million yuan by Jinjiang Literature City.
Buying the rights to "The Journey of Flower" for one million yuan, knowing that the show would be a hit if it was well-made, would be a huge profit.
However, this involves investment risks.
For Lu Yuan, the only problem is money. What to do now?
It's true that even a hero can be brought down by a lack of money; if you want to secure the copyright in advance, you really can't do it without it.
I've already agreed on 600,000 with my parents, so it's impossible for me to ask for 1 million now!
Even if it's just selling your house, you could only scrape together a million.
That's really unrealistic.
Or maybe we should really borrow some money from Wang Xing, and consider it as his investment!
Or perhaps we could try investing in Liu Yifei and see if she has the insight to see the merits of this novel!
These two methods are worth a try, but they both seem a bit unreliable!
Why should others believe in me?
Lu Yuan grabbed his hair haphazardly, sensing that things were going to be difficult.

Doubao is unreliable! I searched for it and it said 50 yuan for copyright, but when I asked again, it said 100 million yuan. It even insisted that it made a mistake at first and that the author received 50 yuan.
The plot has already been written, and we can't change an entire chapter, so we can only say that the protagonist remembered it wrong!
