I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Ye Feng repeatedly stroked the configuration list with his fingers, and the final selected optional items totaled exactly 42.6.

Exclusive lava red paint, 86,000 bright silver forged wheels, ventilated seats, Carpiay, and a premium sound system.

Including the base price of 298 million yuan, the total price of the vehicle on the road is 341.4 million yuan.

That's all.

As Ye Feng handed the configuration list to the salesperson, Miaomiao was lying next to him, counting on a calculator and muttering to herself.

"You could buy a decent car with just the money you've spent on training!"

The salesperson took the order, glanced at it, and suddenly said...

"Mr. Ye, the ventilated seats you selected are due to batch adjustments in the manufacturing process, so it will take more than ten days before production can resume. If you are in a hurry to pick up your car, you can choose the basic model."

Before Ye Feng could speak, Miao Miao quickly shook her head.

"No, no, ventilation is necessary. Ten days is fine, we don't need to worry about a few more days."

He complained about the price, but she also cared a lot about the comfort of Ye Feng's driving.

After paying the deposit, the salesperson handed over a copy of the contract.

"The normal delivery time is three months. If there are any changes in the process, I will let you know as soon as possible."

Ye Feng had been prepared for a month or two of injury since the three-month period was mentioned, but before the three months were up, he received a call from the salesperson, whose tone was somewhat apologetic.

"Mr. Ye, the inspection revealed a minor flaw in the bright silver paint on your wheel rims. The manufacturer needs to repaint them, which will delay delivery by one week. We're truly sorry. We'll offer you a free year-long basic maintenance service and a full-car coating. Is that alright?"

Ye Feng was in the kitchen making dumplings with Miao Miao at that moment, with the phone on speakerphone. Miao Miao immediately became anxious when she heard this.

"Why is it delayed? I already told my cousin that I would let her come and see the car on the same day."

Ye Feng patted her hand.

"It's okay, the paint is the most important thing. Don't feel bad when you pick up the car. You don't need maintenance or ceramic coating. Just take good care of my car."

After hanging up the phone, Miaomiao puffed out her cheeks and started making dumplings.

"Don't rush, good things are worth waiting for. We'll go to Disneyland after we pick up the car!"

......

They definitely wouldn't make it before the New Year, but the two of them knew that. That's why they went home after only a few days of winter break, leaving their cousin alone at the company. It infuriated her; she sent them numerous 60-second voice messages, and they're still marked with red dots on their messages.

However, neither of them took it to heart and they were happily making dumplings.

As for why they suddenly decided to make dumplings, it's because Miaomiao said she wanted to eat radish and pork dumplings. However, the two of them searched all over the supermarket but couldn't find any. So, they bought radishes, pork, and dumpling wrappers and went home to make dumplings themselves.

What could Ye Feng do but stay by his side?

Not long after the sales call ended, the editor, Lao Bai, called. This was quite unusual; he usually only contacted me via text message. This guy was a homebody, too.

"Old Bai, you're wishing me a Happy New Year before it's even here yet?"

"What New Year's greetings? I haven't even started my holiday yet, unlike you. There's something I need to tell you."

"Yes, you go ahead, I happen to have some time right now."

"A company has taken a liking to your novel and wants to adapt it, but since you've only just launched it, they want to know if you have any follow-up content."

"Yes, they're all in my head."

This is no lie; it really is in the phone inside that brain.

"To be honest, the price they offered was pretty good, and I was thinking of waiting until their drama aired before you updated."

"Impossible! Don't even think about it. Are they out of their minds? People who want to adapt works do so to leverage the popularity of the original, but these people are telling me to stop updating!"

"I also felt it was a bit inappropriate, but they know a senior executive in our company, and my boss asked me to come and do the work. I couldn't just not come, so I had to go through the motions."

"You turned it down for me, right? I am considering adapting this book, but it's not just for the licensing fees. The royalties are my main source of income right now."

"Yes, that makes sense. Besides, their company has a history of doing things like that before. They messed up the adaptations themselves, the ratings were bad, and the author didn't even get the final payment. That really angered the author."

"And then? The book must have been affected, right?"

"Of course, but then an old editor gave him an idea: modify the already published version and change the title. And you know what? Although it wasn't a huge hit, it was still pretty good."

"Then why did you tell me so much!"

"There's nothing I can do. I'm paid to do this job, and I have to complete the tasks assigned by my superiors."

"Alright, your task is complete."

"I still want to tell you this: if someone contacts you about adapting something, think it over carefully. Although you don't have all the copyright, if you firmly disagree, it's unlikely that the people in your company will be able to do it."

Thank you.

Ye Feng didn't understand what he meant. There would definitely be more people coming to find him later.

As expected, Ye Feng's prediction was correct. Three days later, three days before the Lunar New Year, another phone call came in.

The other party also introduced themselves directly, a fairly well-known film and television company, and got straight to the point. However, Ye Feng didn't like their tone. It sounded like he was begging them.

"We'll discuss copyright now, after the series is finished."

"Adapting your novel into a TV series would make it even more popular!"

"My novel is already quite popular, so I don't need the TV series to help promote it."

"You don't own all the copyrights to your novels, do you? According to the contract you signed, the website is responsible for managing the copyrights..."

"If that's the case, why are you still contacting me? I just don't understand. You're the ones who contacted me, not the other way around. Why does it seem like I'm begging you!"

"No, no, you misunderstood. We were just thinking that cooperation could be a win-win situation."

"Forget it, don't contact me again. I've already said I don't agree!"

He probably thought they were just a bunch of lousy novelists, and that turning their novels into TV series was actually helping them. That condescending attitude really disgusted him.

Therefore, his words were also quite emotional.

Old Bai had already warned him, but he thought it would be a senior executive from the website calling to plead for him. Who knew it would be someone from the film company?

This novel has only been available for a short time and has a short word count. Ye Feng is intentionally controlling the pace, mainly to see if any film or television companies would be interested.

If you talk to him properly, Ye Feng is willing to take out the content of the first season, let him modify and film it, and he will continue to update according to the schedule.

Ultimately, the success of TV series adapted from novels depends on the fans of the original novel.

After all, those who have read the original work want to see what the film and television adaptation will be like, and whether it matches their expectations and the images formed in their minds.

Furthermore, those who have watched the first season will definitely be interested in the later plot, which will also provide feedback for his novel, making it a win-win situation.

Furthermore, even if the film adaptation fails, his novel has already been written, and while it will be affected, it won't be that significant!
