As an author,
Tang Xiaoxiao, like other authors, held onto a dream of film and television.
She dread that one day her works could be adapted into films and dramas, and many people could bring the stories she wrote to life.
However,
She never imagined, even in her dreams, that this day would co so soon.
Yes.
She thought that as long as she persisted and stayed true to her heart, her work should be adapted into a film or drama within a decade.
But now, dreams had beco reality.
Feng Nan said, "I’ve been following your book, and although the writing is a bit immature, the main and supporting characters in your story are well-developed, and your story is very healing. It can definitely be adapted for film and television."
"Not to ntion the boost from that mysterious benefactor last night."
"Do you know how popular your book is online now?"
Tang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
She usually just wrote novels, read novels, and played video gas, never really paying attention to the hot topics online.
Feng Nan said, "Actually, I don’t know exactly how popular it is either, but one thing is clear: your book is a genuine breakthrough masterpiece, and countless people are reading it. An adaptation is practically nailed down."
"It’s just that the copyright fee is a bit low and doesn’t match the current popularity."
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at the copyright fee and murmured, "Ten million isn’t exactly a small amount!"
Feng Nan smiled and shook his head, "I asked the colleagues in the operations departnt, and given your book’s current popularity, the copyright fee should be at least fifty million. But... the buyer of your copyright is soone from that mysterious benefactor, and the boss didn’t dare to raise the price on the spot."
Tang Xiaoxiao felt relieved.
Yet her heart was filled with anticipation.
Because once her show started filming, she could completely et that mysterious benefactor.

On the other end,
Xu Wendong returned to the hotel and ate breakfast in the buffet restaurant while reading a book, waiting for Ye Qingxin and Nie Xiaoyu to show up.
He didn’t have ti to read Tang Xiaoxiao’s novel last night, but when he started reading it on the drive back to the hotel today, he found it addictive.
The story was warm and healing, making him, a person from an unhappy original family, feel warmth.
"This book is indeed quite interesting."
As he beca engrossed, Ye Qingxin’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Then Ye Qingxin and Nie Xiaoyu carried their breakfast over and sat in front of him.
"I ssaged you yesterday asking for help with a little recharge, why did you recharge a hundred million and tip it all?" Xu Wendong looked at her, very upset.
It wasn’t that he was reluctant to spend the money; he was mainly concerned that the sum might cause Tang Xiaoxiao to change her nature and lose herself. After all, not everyone could remain true when receiving a huge amount of money.
Ye Qingxin said, "If she can’t resist the temptation of this little bit of money, how could she handle the pressure of being with you?"
Xu Wendong almost cursed, "What are you thinking? That author is the daughter of my benefactor. I rewarded her purely to show gratitude and alleviate her family’s poverty."
Xu Wendong hadn’t interacted much with Wang Yun, but he could sense she was a simple and kind person. If he gave them a large sum, she definitely wouldn’t accept it.
That’s why he wanted to change their life in a roundabout way.
"Sorry, I was wrong!" Ye Qingxin quickly admitted her fault, muttering, "But you can’t entirely bla ; it’s your philandering nature that I misinterpreted."
Xu Wendong rolled his eyes at her, acknowledging her fault but not sincerely.
He ignored Ye Qingxin and turned to Nie Xiaoyu, who was smirking at the side, "Xiaoyu, have you read that book? What’s your impression? Does it have adaptation potential?"
"Yes, it seems quite suitable for adaptation," Nie Xiaoyu had already read Tang Xiaoxiao’s book last night while staying with Ye Qingxin, going through over 100,000 words overnight. She found it very interesting.
Ye Qingxin also understood Xu Wendong’s intent and imdiately said, "Boss, don’t worry. I’ll secure the film adaptation rights for this novel and get it adapted into a film!"
"You’re the best, Miss Ye. Here, enjoy my egg!" Xu Wendong smiled, passing a fried egg to her.
"Pfft! You can’t expect anything decent out of your mouth!" Ye Qingxin blushed and scolded him.
Xu Wendong was in high spirits, and after a hearty breakfast, he, Ye Qingxin, and Nie Xiaoyu left the hotel to visit various attractions in Jingdu.
As the end of the year approached, the tourist spots were quite less crowded, requiring no queuing, allowing them to feel quite relaxed.
However,
Their relaxed mood was ruined by a phone call.
"Got it, I understand," Ye Qingxin hung up the phone and walked over to Xu Wendong with a serious look. At this mont, Xu Wendong was helping Nie Xiaoyu take photos.
"Wendong, I need to use the restroom," Nie Xiaoyu keenly sensed sothing was up and found an excuse to leave.
Xu Wendong asked, "What’s going on?"
Ye Qingxin said, "The film adaptation rights for Tang Xiaoxiao’s ’My Healing Life’ have been sold by the website for ten million."
Xu Wendong was shocked, "It sold so quickly?"
He’d thought that, sure, given the novel’s current popularity, soone would want to buy the film adaptation rights, but he didn’t expect it to sell this quickly.
"Doesn’t it feel absurd? There’s actually sothing even more absurd," Ye Qingxin continued, "The buyer of the rights is a film company called Thousand Shadows Film and Television, and they claim Xiangyanghua is their account. They rewarded that book just for publicity."
Xu Wendong swore, "Damn, they’re using my na to swagger outside?"
Ye Qingxin shrugged her shoulders in agreent, "It’s indeed a rather low move, but the process isn’t important. What’s important is they’ve obtained the film adaptation rights of ’My Healing Life.’"
Xu Wendong lit a cigarette and said lightly, "It’s no big deal. As long as they seriously approach this show, I can forgive them for using my fa to boast."
Ye Qingxin said, "I actually know a bit about this company. They’re quite famous in the film industry, having acquired many popular novel IPs for adaptation."
"But they often produce content that completely deviates from the original work, rely marketing it by the novel’s na. In recent years, the reputation of several shows they’ve released is very poor."
Xu Wendong’s gaze beca deep, "So, I have to reclaim the film rights from them?"
Ye Qingxin said, "Unless you’re willing to see Miss Tang’s work being ruined!"
"I won’t allow anyone to ruin this work!" Xu Wendong was full of indignation. Not to ntion Tang Xiaoxiao was Wang Yun’s daughter; even purely from a reader’s perspective, he didn’t want to see Tang Xiaoxiao’s work getting ruined.
Ye Qingxin said, "Alright, I’ll contact the CEO of Thousand Shadows Group right away and find a way to buy back the rights!"
