Chapter 20 You don't want to lose me as a friend, do you?
After laughing, Liu Yifei joked, "Why don't you sell me the copyright, and I'll go find those film and television companies to collaborate with?"
"Ah... Sister Fei, are you trying to take advantage of my misfortune? I'm not selling, not even if you bid for it!"
Lu Yuan knew that Liu Yifei was focusing on the big screen during this period and wouldn't be filming any TV dramas.
So even if she really likes it, she won't film it.
Even if she were given the money, she would simply give it to other film and television companies; she would only be making an investment herself.
"Just kidding, I wouldn't take something that belongs to someone else," Liu Yifei said with a smile.
However, she did have some interest in the novel's film rights.
"It's alright, I almost reluctantly agreed just because it was you, Sister Fei," Lu Yuan joked.
Liu Yifei suddenly said seriously, "What do you think about me buying the film rights to this novel?"
She genuinely had this thought, mainly because the amount of money wasn't much to her.
She felt somewhat engrossed in the novel. If Lu Yuan could buy the television rights, why couldn't she?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
In his mind, there didn't seem to be any ancient romance novels that could sell well.
Only the movie starring Liu Yifei herself made several hundred million, but its reputation wasn't very good.
As for the movie "The Journey of Flower," don't even mention it; it was absolutely awful.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the filmmakers don't know how to make movies and make them haphazardly.
But the more important question is what content to choose to film, since movies are only a few hours long.
If Liu Yifei buys the film rights and then collaborates with another company, she could star in the film herself.
This movie probably won't be any better, so he still answered the question seriously.
"I think it's worth buying, but let's not film it at this stage. The main problem is that adapting a novel into a movie script is difficult."
"The selected clips are very important, because there are only a few hours left on the big screen."
"Moreover, this is a cultivation novel, so the special effects are even more exquisite."
"With the current production quality of these domestic films, to be honest, they would probably turn out to be terrible movies."
Lu Yuan poured out his thoughts; he genuinely didn't want Liu Yifei to jump into a fire pit.
If Liu Yifei were to jump into a fire pit after he said that, then it would truly be a sin!
Liu Yifei listened attentively to his reply, and the more she listened, the more reasonable it seemed to her.
That seems to be true; the TV series "The Legend of Zu" was directed by Tsui Hark.
The box office was dismal, and the word-of-mouth was terrible.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, this movie automatically came to her mind.
This dispelled some unrealistic fantasies in my mind.
She really wanted to take over this project, play it herself, and then act in the movie "The Journey of Flower"!
"Indeed, then I'll buy the film rights."
"Maybe one day you'll make a hit TV series, and I might be able to make a movie and ride on your coattails."
Liu Yifei still didn't want to give up, mainly because she was a little addicted to the novel.
If Lu Yuan can go all in, what's wrong with her spending a little money when she's so rich?!
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come and freeload, Sister Fei."
Lu Yuan's words were clearly heard by the three older boys standing at the top of the stairs.
These words truly sound like the words of a ravenous wolf; they never expected this young man to be so cunning.
He's not in a relationship at all, but once he does, he's a sensation!
They must have known each other for very long! And they've already started talking about rubbing against each other.
In a few more days, it will probably be time to get into the zone!
It's that Fei-jie again, she seems to be an older sister.
You can't judge a book by its cover!
Of course, based on the name "Sister Fei," none of the three of them thought of Liu Yifei.
The three of them exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise and shock.
However, they didn't make a sound, just quietly listening from behind.
Moreover, they hid it very well, as if afraid of being noticed by Lu Yuan.
"You're really trying to make yourself look good. You're getting all worked up over me just because I said you're fat," Liu Yifei said irritably in a voice message.
This guy is really confident. He doesn't even have a single work to his name, yet he's already fantasizing about making a huge hit TV series.
I don't know where he got his confidence from!
Could it be Liang Jingru?
"Hehe...one always needs to have confidence!"
"I think you're just too confident, but you'd better make sure you film this novel well."
"Now I'm a fan of this novel too. If you don't adapt it well, I'll be the first to hold you accountable."
Liu Yifei feigned a fierce tone, but to Lu Yuan it was even more tempting.
Just like those Taekwondo videos filmed by girls on Douyin later on, which were jokingly referred to as "thugs' excitement punches" by everyone in the comments.
Her current tone is strikingly similar to Lu Yuan's.
"Then why won't you let me off the hook?" Lu Yuan laughed.
It was a somewhat ambiguous statement, but he still dared to say it.
"Hmph... I'm your senior, I know the school very well, finding you is a piece of cake."
"When we find you, you'll be dead."
As she spoke, it was as if Lu Yuan could see her; she even waved her little fist fiercely.
"Hey Fei, aren't you mistaken about something?"
"By the time this is filmed, I'll probably no longer be at the Beijing Film Academy. How are you going to find me then?"
After saying this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh at himself, which was rather unkind.
"I'll have my own ways when the time comes. If all else fails, I'll just block you and never see you again. Lu Yuan, you don't want to lose me as a friend, do you?"
Liu Yifei's words carried a threatening tone, as if she were saying, "I'm your goddess, are you willing to lose me as a friend?"
Lu Yuan almost burst out laughing when he heard that last sentence. Little Liu is really good at saying things!
It feels like that phrase, "Madam..."
She's probably seen those movies!
Of course, Lu Yuan felt it was impossible; it was just a coincidence.
However, he still planned to ask tentatively, so that even if he saw it, it would still enhance their relationship.
"Sister Fei, where did you learn that line, 'You don't want to lose me as a friend, right?'?"
"Do you even need to learn that? Have you heard of any similar statements that are even remotely famous?"
"Tell me about it quickly, I want to go and see too!" Liu Yifei said, a mix of excitement and doubt.
Does Lu Yuan have some good novels or movies to share? She'll have to go and find out.
"This can't be shared, my dear Fei!" Lu Yuan shook his head inwardly.
He said that Liu Yifei's statement was probably just a coincidence, but now he's even asking him to share it.
Can I share an egg with this?!
"No, it's just that one of my teachers often says that, and I think it's quite a coincidence."
Lu Yuan decisively chose to make things up, not wanting Liu Yifei to get caught up in this issue.
Otherwise, it would be a little bad for one's wise image.
"Tch... You got all excited for nothing."
