So now, the rights to many well-known novels are in high demand, and with it, the prices have soared.
This big V had divided the novels in the auction into two parts, and Ye Xian had only looked at one part when she spotted a familiar name— "Conquest of the World."
She excitedly sat up in bed all at once.
In the original work, this novel was adapted into a film and TV IP. Thanks to the director’s deep skills, high-quality wardrobe and makeup, and captivating plot, as soon as it was broadcasted, it exploded in popularity over the summer, maintaining high topic ratings. It had outstanding performance across all platforms, being the only drama that, despite lacking a leading male or female protagonist, could compete in viewership with those that did.
By the time the show concluded, everyone involved, from the actors to the investors, had made a hefty profit.
This was an excellent opportunity that had fallen from the sky! If she could buy the rights to "Conquest of the World" and then adapt it into a film or TV drama, and star in it herself, wouldn’t she become an overnight sensation? The perfect script she had been dreaming of! The stage where she could really showcase her acting talent just appeared out of the blue!
Having been so unlucky for so long, she had finally hit the jackpot!
The next day, Ye Xian could hardly wait to meet with Ye Shaowen and put the Weibo post in front of him. After reading the blog post once, Shaowen asked, "So, you want to bid for the rights to this novel and star in it yourself?"
Ye Xian replied, "Brother Shaowen, you’re so smart. But I’m worried that the competition will be too fierce or some unexpected circumstances might arise, and I won’t have enough money. That’s why I brought you, my walking piggy bank."
"Okay!" Shaowen agreed without hesitation, looking at her with some relief. "My silly sister, you’ve finally come to your senses. You always refused to use my money before. I’ve always said that my money is your money. I earn it so you can spend it."
"You’re the silly one," Ye Xian laughed. "I didn’t let you buy resources for me before because you didn’t understand the entertainment industry or television dramas. You always ended up purchasing a bunch of low-quality resources, and even when you splurged on good ones, you couldn’t find a professional team and actors, throwing your money away. But this is different. I guarantee we’ll make a fortune once we get this one!"
"Why?" Ye Shaowen was somewhat skeptical. "It doesn’t seem very famous. There are many novels on this Weibo post that are much more well-known." Even he, someone who didn’t like reading novels, had heard of them.
Being well-known doesn’t mean it’s the best. Trust me, "Conquest of the World" is a pearl covered in dust. It’s bound to explode in popularity one day. Now the price is low, which could mean fewer competitors. Maybe we can win it with a low bid."
Ye Shaowen asked, "Why are you so confident about it?" Although his little sister was usually confident, this time she seemed a bit overconfident.
Ye Xian replied, "Because..." I’m a woman with the cheat code for the script!
"Don’t you trust my judgement?"
Ye Shaowen replied, "Of course, I do! Then it’s settled. I’ll pick you up on the 5th, bring the money, and you bring the people!" Whether it’s a hit or not, as long as his little sister is happy, that’s what matters.
"Great~" Ye Xian’s eyes curved in a bright smile, "But Brother Shaowen, we can’t just show up at public events so openly, we need to disguise ourselves..."
On the afternoon of the 5th, in front of the Zongxin Building, there were rows of expensive luxury cars parked. Several dozen security guards lined both sides, and those coming and going were either well-known journalists and media or influential figures from the film industry.
