Rebirth Begins with Rejecting my Childhood Friend-Chapter 71 - Gao Dang: Don’t be so shameless.

The day of September 18, 2005 has finally arrived!

He practiced piano for too long the night before yesterday, and he accompanied Xiao Youran for a walk at Jiaotong University. It was already very late when he returned to the dormitory, so Xu Xiuwen rarely slept for a while today.

The other people in the dormitory had nothing to do after getting up early, so except for Wang Juncai who got up at 6 o’clock to play games, everyone else was still sleeping.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Xu Xiuwen suddenly received a text message from Gao Dan.

The content is: “I’ll wait for you at Fulin Tea House outside the north gate of your school.”

Xu Xiuwen thought he had read it wrong at first, but he took another look and confirmed that he had read it correctly. It was indeed a text message from Gao Dang.

Fulin Teahouse is a teahouse that has been open for many years outside the north gate of Jiangling.

Gao Dang came to Jinling and even found the school.

Xu Xiuwen has never published private information online.

It seems that the only way Gao Dang can find his school is through the website.

Xu Xiuwen was a little unhappy about the website revealing his private information.

It was understandable that Gao Dang got his mobile phone number last time, but now that even the school address has been leaked, he can’t accept it.

But he didn’t look for the website because he knew it would be useless.

The website can dismiss him for any reason.

And how to solve Gaodang is more important now.

Xu Xiuwen didn’t want to see Gao Dang, even though he had already arrived near Jiangling College.

But thinking that since the other party can chase him to the school, if this matter is not solved, who knows what more shocking things this mad dog will do?

To avoid future troubles and no longer be entangled by Gao Dang, Xu Xiuwen decided to go and meet him for a while.

Let’s see what else the person in charge of this Zhongyi art company plans to say.

When he arrived at Fulin Teahouse, there were not many people in the teahouse.

Fulin Tea House is usually crowded in the afternoon and evening. Some students like to come here to play poker. If you order a pot of tea, you can sit there for two or three hours. The price of a pot of tea is not expensive.

Because there were very few people in the teahouse, Xu Xiuwen found Gaodang easily.

The other party was wearing a suit, which was quite conspicuous in a place like Fulin Tea House.

Gao Dang sat on a small table against the wall of the shop, facing the teahouse door.

He ordered a pot of tea in front of him, holding a small blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, and occasionally took a few sips.

After Xu Xiuwen came in, Gao Dang noticed him immediately.

Seeing Xu Xiuwen walking straight towards him, he immediately guessed that the other person was Xu Renshan.

To be honest, Gao Dang looked like a mad dog on the phone and in text messages, but after meeting him in real life, Gao Dang gave him a pretty good feeling.

Gao Dang was wearing a clean and tidy suit. He was not bad-looking, his hair was combed and shiny, and he looked like a successful man. It was hard for ordinary people not to have a good impression of him when they saw him for the first time.

After Xu Xiuwen approached, Gao Dang immediately asked, “Are you Xu Xiuwen?”

Hearing that the other party was talking about Xu Xiuwen and not Xu Renshan, Xu Xiuwen was even more sure that his information had been disclosed to the man in front of him by the website.

There was anger in his heart, but it didn’t show on his face at all. He asked with a smile, “Are you Gao Dang, the person in charge of Zhongyi?”

His expression was relaxed and casual, his eyes soft, and he didn’t seem to be angry at all about the previous unpleasantness.

Gao Dang nodded and said, “I am Gao Dang.”

The two shook hands and sat down across a small table.

Gao Dang took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen took the business card and did not read it carefully. Instead, he took the teapot, first refilled Gao Dang’s tea, and then poured himself a cup. He said casually, “I’m really surprised that Mr. Gao Dang came to my school.”

Gao Dang was in a rather complicated mood at the moment. He originally thought that the young man in front of him would fly into a rage or become furious, but he didn’t. Instead, he looked calm.

On the contrary, this made Gao Dang feel uneasy, and all the plans he had originally thought of were useless.

Gao Dang felt that the rhetoric he had prepared was of no use, so he chose to get straight to the point, “Xu Xiuwen, there was some unpleasantness that happened before. I apologize to you. I hope we can sit down and talk about the film and television copyright of the novel.”

Xu Xiuwen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, “How much do you plan to pay?”

Gao Dang was stunned, “Do you want to sell?”

Xu Xiuwen smiled, “You are the ones who want to buy it, and now you are starting to doubt whether I want to sell it, haha…”

Gao Dang also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was quite upset. Why was he so confused and completely at a disadvantage from the first time he met Xu Xiuwen?

Gao Dang thought for a few seconds and said to Xu Xiuwen, “Our company can give up to 1 million.”

“One million?” Xu Xiuwen said to himself, “If it’s 10 million, I can still consider it. If it’s 1 million, I’ve earned more than 1 million just from writing books. Do you think I would be tempted by 1 million?”

Xu Xiuwen is very aware of the film and television value of “Boys Over Flowers”.

Not to mention that so many countries will remake it, even in China, the value created by the Taiwanese version of “Meteor Garden” is far more than 10 million, maybe 100 million.

Hearing Xu Xiuwen mention the number 10 million, Gao Dang’s eyelids couldn’t help but jump wildly.

He even blurted out, “Are you crazy about money? 10 million? Why don’t you go grab it?”

Xu Xiuwen didn’t take it seriously and said, “I think the value of my novel is at least 10 million. If your company does not pay more than this amount, I think there is no need for us to continue talking and don’t waste each other’s time.”

“Are you serious?” The veins on Gao Dang’s forehead were throbbing.

“Of course, I never joke.”

“Ten million is too much, it’s impossible! No company in the industry can offer such a high price.”

“I’m not in a hurry to sell it. At worst, I can just wait. I believe there will always be a company that sees its value.”

Gao Dan couldn’t help but snorted, “Xu Xiuwen, you are just a student, not a member of our industry. I can assure you that no matter how long you wait, no company will spend 10 million to buy a novel’s film or television copyright. I advise you to sell it. 1 million might not be a lot. But it’s useless for you to keep the copyright. If you sell it, you can make another 1 million.”

“Who said it’s useless for me to keep the copyright?” Xu Xiuwen asked calmly, taking a sip of tea.

Gao Dang laughed out loud, “You are keeping the film and television rights and not selling them. Do you plan to make them yourself?”

Xu Xiuwen smiled and asked, “Is it impossible?”

Gao Dang felt an unreasonable anger in his heart, “Do you think anyone can shoot a TV series? I’m not even talking about actors, equipment, venues, props, costumes, and funds. Do you think anyone who shoots a TV series will have a TV station to buy it?”

Xu Xiuwen looked relaxed, “Who knows, maybe there is.”

Gao Dang finally realized that Xu Xiuwen had no intention of selling the copyright, and his face became increasingly ugly.

“Xu Xiuwen, I advise you to be wise! Not everyone can enter the film and television industry. I admit that your novels are good, but the most indispensable thing in this industry is screenwriters.”

Xu Xiuwen shook his head, “If you can get 10 million, we can continue to talk. If you can’t get it, I don’t think we need to talk anymore. As for how to deal with the film and television rights, whether I want to shoot it myself, is my private matter. It has nothing to do with you, and I hope you won’t bother me again in the future. Okay, that’s all.”

After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Dang suddenly became furious and yelled.

“Xu Xiuwen, don’t be so shameless. You’re just a three-year-old student who wrote a popular book. Do you still want to make a TV series? With the strength of our company, as long as we ban you, you wil at most make another TV series. But there are many TV series, we won’t give you anywhere to watch them!”

Xu Xiuwen stopped after hearing this, turned to look at Gao Dan, and sneered, “Banned? Just because of your company, a third-rate company whose name I have never heard of? Just try it and see if I’m afraid.”

After that, he turned around and walked out of the teahouse. He stopped after taking only two steps and didn’t look back. His voice drifted over and said, “I’ve decided to film this TV series! As for this business card, I will return it to you.”

Xu Xiuwen turned his back to Gao Dan, holding the other party’s business card in his hand. He shook his hand lightly and flew the business card out with indescribable ease.

And what a coincidence, the business card flying in the air just fell on Gao Dan’s face.

The man immediately removed the business card from his face.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he finally couldn’t help but slap the table of the teahouse hard.

But immediately a waiter greeted him: “Don’t smash the table. If you break it, you’ll have to pay for it.”
