The next day, whether it was the newspapers or the internet, they were all reporting on Nanhu Station's record viewership ratings. Among them, a person's name and portrait were included in the headlines.
He Fan's name had been searched hundreds of millions of times on Qiandu. Some of the small celebrities in the entertainment industry felt that the world had gone crazy. Why did they wake up one night and the internet was filled with information about a person named He Fan?
Think about them. They worked so hard, either creating scandals today or "exposing" the private lives of their peers tomorrow, but in the end, they were not famous. Now that they were looking at the little wimp who was being reported by the media, they were filled with envy and jealousy! He cursed the heavens for being unfair. Why was this little brat so good-looking and talented?
Not only did He Fanren become more popular, but the original song he sang on the show also made the headlines. Netizens were all asking where they could download a high-quality version of the song. However, they were destined to be disappointed now. He Fan had only registered on the copyright website and had not recorded a new version yet. What was circulating on the Internet was only the live version edited by the program team. The effect was definitely not as good as that produced by a professional recording studio. However, he believed that it wouldn't be long before a music company came to He Fan to discuss a collaboration.
In the neighborhood where He Fan lived, neighbors came to visit him early in the morning. It was embarrassing not to welcome his neighbors. After all, they were here to congratulate him. Although it would be troublesome if there were too many people, he could not chase them away, right? It was already past noon by the time he finished dealing with the neighbors. Well, he had originally wanted to go out and exercise, but now it was all in vain.
Not long after lunch, He Fan received a call from He Jiong. After a round of conversation, it turned out that they were asking him about the publication of the story he had posted on Weibo.
He Jiong told He Fan that there was a publishing house under Nanhu Station. He also explained the current situation to He Fan. After all, the two of them were from the same clan. If the publishing firm's profits were not good, they would definitely tell He Fan. As for whether He Fan agreed or not in the end, that was not a problem that He Jiong had to worry about.
He Fan thought for a moment and replied,"Brother, I don't have time to talk about publishing now. I'll make a decision after my exams."”
He Jiong also knew that this matter could not be discussed immediately, so he brought up another matter."Xiao Fan, I believe you know that the viewership ratings for the show you participated in are out. It's 10%! He had set a new record. Now, you've become a hot potato in our station head's eyes. He asked me to ask you if you have any plans to participate in any other programs of our station. Any program is fine. You can choose.”
"Brother, thank your station head for my good intentions. I have other plans after the exams. Previously, I did some research. There's a show in China that's going to start auditioning. I plan to give it a try.”
"Are you talking about the Chinese idiom convention?”
"Yes, I calculated the time. After I finish the exam, the idiom competition will be held in the national auditions, so I will spend my energy on it. I can only give up on other programs.”
"Alright then, I'll pass on your message to the station head.”
"Okay, that's it. Bye."
"Bye-bye!"
After hanging up the phone, He Fan began to check the registration process of the Chinese idiom convention online. He realized that this was an event for all classes in the country. No matter how old or how educated they were, they could sign up for it.
After understanding the registration process, he went to the video website to watch the previous competitions. He could learn from the answering skills of previous contestants in case of emergencies.
............
In the next few days, He Fan regained his student status and returned to school to attend classes normally. Although the students had come to watch him, the star student, at first, it was normal for everyone after the novelty wore off. After all, the exam was approaching, and everyone could still distinguish their priorities.
In the principal's office, a middle-aged man was talking to the principal. From the content of their conversation, it seemed to be related to He Fan.
It turned out that when He Jiong relayed He Fan's words to the president of Nanhu, Ouyang Guoli, he felt uneasy, so he sent the president of the publishing firm over personally. And they didn't tell He Fan in advance when they came. It was unknown if they wanted to act first and report later or to give He Fan a surprise.
The middle-aged man said to the principal,"Principal Huang, your school is really amazing. You've nurtured a genius like He Fan." Not only is his brain amazing at such a young age, but he's also outstanding in literature. The fairy tales he wrote are very imaginative. I'm here this time mainly to sign a contract with him. Our publishing firm wants to get the copyright of his story. This matter still needed the principal's support.”
Principal Huang waved his hand and said," President Wu, you're being too serious. Although He Fan is a student of our school, his writing is not under the school's jurisdiction. If there's anything, President Wu can talk to him personally when he comes.”
While they were talking, the school bell rang. Immediately after, a voice came from the school broadcast room."He Fan, please come to the principal's office. The principal is looking for you.”
"President Wu, I've already informed He Fan for you. He should be here soon.”
"Alright, then I'll wait here for Student He. Principal Huang, let's have lunch together.”
"Hehe, I won't get involved in your matters. I just want to remind President Wu that Xiao Fan is a smart child. Don't underestimate him just because he's young.”It was obvious that the principal was warning him not to bully a child who was inexperienced to lower his royalties.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." President Wu quickly promised.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Following the principal's " Please come in," He Fan walked in.
He Fan looked around and realized that there was a middle-aged man in the room that he did not recognize. Without waiting for the principal to introduce him, he took the initiative to extend his hand to He Fan and said,"Hello, He Fan. I'm the president of Nanhu Station's publishing firm, Janson Wu.”
He Fan quickly glanced at Principal Huang. Seeing that he nodded, he reached out to hold Janson's hand and said,"Hello, President Wu. You can call me Xiao Fan.”
"Alright then, Xiao Fan. Actually, I'm here to talk to you about the publication of your fairy tale. I wonder if you're free this afternoon.”
"Principal, is this why you're looking for me?”
"Yes, Xiao Fan. You and President Wu can find a quiet place to talk. I won't disturb you.”
"Alright then. President Wu, there's a teahouse next to our school. Let's go there and talk.”
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Janson said goodbye to Principal Huang and followed He Fan to a place called Qingyun Teahouse.
They asked for a private room. After the tea doctor poured the tea, they discussed it while drinking tea.
President Wu was the first to ask," Xiao Fan, it's been so long. We still don't know the real name of your fairy tale. Everyone calls them two mice, but it feels weird."”
"Hehe, it was my negligence. I saw that no one asked, so I forgot. Actually, this story should be called 'The Adventures of Bekshuta.'
"Hmm, not a bad name. Now, let's talk about the issue of royalties. We have two plans: The first was a one-time purchase, and the second was a share of sales. Which one do you like?"
"Tell me about the second set."
President Wu had an expression of 'I knew it'. So he took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to He Fan. He Fan took it and read it quickly.
From time to time, he would finish checking and then discuss with President Wu one by one, which areas should be deleted and which areas should be added. He also made some changes to the division of rights and interests. His professionalism made President Wu wonder if he was facing a top law student.
In the end, under President Wu's conflicted gaze, the two sides reached a friendly and cooperative relationship.
Looking at He Fan's back as he left, President Wu wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead. He thought to himself, What kind of negotiation did I go through just now? Will I lose my job if I go back and show this contract to the station head?
Thank you, everyone.
