Chapter 68 A Difficult Choice (Please Subscribe!)

The next day, Tang Jinshan went to see Wan Qiwen.

I guess I was quite frightened yesterday.

"Sister Wen, are you alright?"

Tang Jinshan felt sorry for Wan Qiwen when he saw how haggard she looked.

However, those people will definitely pay the price.

California retains the death penalty, but unfortunately, they probably won't die.

When Wan Qiwen saw Tang Jinshan, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.

I tiptoed and gave him a kiss.

Tang Jinshan was stunned by her enthusiasm.

Is the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario really that effective?

"Mr. Tang, thank you for yesterday!"

When she loosened her grip again, Wan Qiwen's eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked incredibly shy.

Tang Jinshan immediately retaliated, showing her how dangerous it was to provoke a man.

It also taught her what it means to expect something in return for a favor!

Wan Qiwen did not resist.

Tang Jinshan's designs on her were not new; he had never hidden them.

How could she not know?

Let him succeed today!

After returning to China, I acted as if nothing had happened.

Seeing her so helpless, Tang Jinshan became even less polite!

When Qiu Shuzhen got up, she found that Tang Jinshan was gone.

She didn't interfere much and went to check on Wan Qiwen.

Yesterday's experience will definitely leave a psychological scar.

It turned out that the door wasn't locked, and they went in as soon as it was opened.

Bah Bah!

Qiu Shuzhen slammed the door shut and stepped out.

They don't have any psychological trauma at all; they had a great time!

Now even Wan Qiwen has fallen into his hands.

However, he never seemed to hide his lust for Wan Qiwen.

Now that he has gotten what he wanted, he should bear the infamy!

"Shuzhen has seen us!"

Wan Qiwen felt like dying at that moment.

In broad daylight, I don't know why I inexplicably started flirting with Tang Jinshan.

I'm too ashamed to show my face in public now!

She even had a feeling that she had seduced her best friend's man.

The two had been getting along well in a foreign country, and after experiencing what happened together last night, their relationship became even closer.

But now—

It's all Tang Jinshan's fault!

"Never mind her, let's continue!"

Tang Jinshan didn't care.

Anyone who dares to interrupt his good time should be taught a lesson by Qiu Shuzhen!

Wan Qiwen was quickly overwhelmed and stopped caring about anything else.

That evening, Tang Jinshan invited Wan Qiwen and Qiu Shuzhen to dinner.

The atmosphere was strangely ambiguous.

Wan Qiwen didn't dare to look up.

Tang Jinshan, however, was enjoying himself immensely, eating and drinking heartily.

He needs to replenish his nutrition.

When he got home that night, a difficult choice lay before him.

The room on the left is occupied by Chingmy Yau, and the room on the right is occupied by Wan Chi-man.

Where should he go?

No matter which one he chooses, he will neglect the other.

Finally, he found a way to achieve the best of both worlds in two days.

"Sister Zhen, please help me out and cooperate with me."

"Go to hell! Dream on!"

Qiu Shuzhen was furious and actually wanted her to go to Wan Yiwen's room.

"Please, sister, I beg you!"

"No!"

"Otherwise, believe me or not, I'll make you perform in front of Wan Qiwen—Sister Zhen, you don't want Sister Wen to know you know so much, do you?"

If the soft approach doesn't work, try the hard one.

"You dare!"

Chiu Shu-chen was immediately terrified.

"What's there to be afraid of? Why don't you, as a teacher, teach Sister Wen a thing or two?"

Tang Jinshan suddenly had a whimsical idea.

Once the thought enters your mind, it's impossible to shake it off.

"Get out of here!"

Chiu Shu-chen's face looked like a boiled shrimp.

That bastard, he's shameless!

How could she possibly do such a thing? Let him succeed?

but----

Wan Qiwen stole her man, and whatever price she pays, it's her own fault.

Should I punish her a little too?

Let her know what it means to set yourself on fire.

hum!

After a few days in San Francisco, Tang Jinshan couldn't take it anymore.

With Chingmy Yau rejoining the production team, it's time for him to leave.

We can't interfere with their filming anymore.

He neither returned to his home country nor went to Hollywood.

Instead, they crossed the Atlantic Ocean and flew to another place.

"Ms. Rowling, I think your novel is very well written; in my opinion, it rivals Tolkien's."

The Lord of the Rings!

"If you're willing to sell me the rights, I'll definitely adapt it into a movie!"

Tang Jinshan looked at JK Rowling, who still retained her charm but wasn't wearing a JK uniform.

Harry Potter is a huge hit in England, but it only hit the US this September.

In 1999, Warner Bros. acquired the film adaptation rights and related merchandise rights for Harry Potter for only £100 million.

J.K. Rowling's net worth of billions comes almost entirely from global novel royalties and the subsequent Fantastic Beasts series.

Warner Bros. made all the money from the rest.

Otherwise, Warner Bros. wouldn't be so wasteful!

Sometimes you really do get lucky!

But now, it no longer belongs to it!

Hey!

"Adapted into a movie? Then I demand it be filmed in England, with an all-English cast—"

J.K. Rowling made a series of demands.

She had no objection to selling film rights.

She was overjoyed that her novel had been accepted.

However, Tang Jinshan being an Asian made her skeptical about the film adaptation.

She didn't want her novel to be adapted into a poorly made product.

Therefore, she had to retain her voice during the filming process.

Even without money.

She was initially puzzled by this young Asian man who had suddenly appeared.

It was only after a series of investigations that it was discovered that he was actually the one who invested $1.5 to adapt The Lord of the Rings into a movie!

As a novelist, she naturally paid attention to this kind of thing.

How could one not yearn for it in one's heart?

Unexpectedly, one day he actually came to my door to buy my copyright!

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited!

"What you said is all fine. I bought the rights anyway and planned to use a Hollywood crew to produce it. It'll be the same if you do it here."

However, there's one thing: all my current funds are being used to adapt Lord of the Rings, so the Harry Potter project needs to be postponed until the funds return.

But I guarantee it will be filmed within five years.

Tang Jinshan feigned indifference to lure Tang Jinshan in, concealing his true desires.

Creating some difficulty for herself can actually make J.K. Rowling more eager to sell the copyright.

Take the initiative.

"I can wait!"

J.K. Rowling nodded.

She's already very lucky to be able to adapt it into a movie; she's not demanding about the time.

Besides, she has only finished two books so far, and there is no end in sight.

And what right do you have to demand that others take pictures quickly?

It's even uncertain how it will turn out.

"In addition, I bought the film rights to Lord of the Rings for $800 million, and I'm willing to pay $500 million for the film rights to Harry Potter, but it must include the sequels. No matter how many books you write, the film rights to Harry Potter, as well as the film-related rights, such as DVDs, props, character image rights, item name rights, co-branded merchandise, and theme parks, must all belong to me."

As you know, many Hollywood movies lose money and rely on merchandise sales to recoup their costs.

Seeing Rowling's hesitation, he added, "I can promise that during filming, we will build a filming base here in England according to your requirements, and later transform it into a magical world theme park. You will always own 10% of the revenue from this theme park."

"Okay, I agree!"

Such generous conditions are something J.K. Rowling could never have dreamed of.

She could also sense Tang Jinshan's ambition.

This is not a bad thing for her.

The greater Tang Jinshan's ambition, the better the film adaptation will be.
