Chapter 336 Buying the Copyright of the Novel

"It's not that bad actually. We don't hold book signings every day."

Manman rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't even think about doing it in the short term. Besides, these books are not enough. It will take time to reprint them, so you'd better give up."

Jiang Mubai compromised, "Then let's give the new books out to the fans through a lottery. How about I sign each copy and give them to them?"

Manman agreed, "That's a good idea, just do as you say."

Jiang Mubai returned home and had a good rest. The next day, Manman had hundreds of books delivered to Jiang Mubai's home.

Now she does nothing at home except signing books every day. Jiang Mubai signed hundreds of books in three days.

Her fingers ached as she lamented about the day of the book signing event, "I signed several times more autographs that day than here. I don't know how I signed them all. It turns out that people have unlimited potential."

Wu You was helping her move books. When she heard Jiang Mubai's words, she immediately praised him.

"Sister Mu Bai, you are amazing. It would be impossible for me to do that. Does your finger hurt? Do you want me to give you a massage?"

Jiang Mubai shook his head and refused, "No, it will be done in a while, how can I be so hypocritical?"

In the new year, Jiang Mubai has been busy with her new book for the first two or three months. She now feels a little overwhelmed. She didn't expect that publishing a new book would be so interesting. She has apparently forgotten that her main job is an actor.

The new book has received unanimous positive reviews. Both fans and other netizens have praised her book after reading it. The fans' praise is understandable, but if other passers-by also praise it after seeing it, it means that Jiang Mubai's new book is really well written.

Jiang Mubai was so happy when he talked about this with Cheng Yunchuan, but Cheng Yunchuan fell silent.

Jiang Mubai sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she asked Cheng Yunchuan, "I'm so successful, aren't you happy for me? Why don't you say anything?"

"Seeing you're so happy now, I'm afraid you're really going to give up your career as an actor and switch to being a writer. We can still communicate and share in the same circle. I'm really worried that our relationship will fall apart after you stop being an actor."

Cheng Yunchuan's words also made Jiang Mubai silent. She had been preparing for the book during this period of time. In her heart, she really wanted to retreat behind the scenes. This idea was stronger than ever.

But now that he heard that Cheng Yunchuan did not support his decision, Jiang Mubai really didn't know what to do.

Cheng Yunchuan also knew that Jiang Mubai was feeling unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Have you been approached for any scripts recently? I see you've been staying at home for a long time."

After getting Jiang Mubai's negative answer, Cheng Yunchuan gradually came up with an idea. He planned to buy the copyright of Jiang Mubai's new book, adapt it into a movie, and then invite Jiang Mubai to star in it.

He has read Jiang Mubai's new book, and it is still as good as ever, so there is no problem adapting it into a movie.

The reason why he did this was to allow Jiang Mubai to have some movies to film instead of having to think about changing his career to become a writer all day long. This would also prevent their relationship from breaking down and ending badly.

Cheng Yunchuan did what he said. After hanging up the phone, he immediately turned around to contact someone else.

He did all these things without telling Jiang Mubai because he was afraid that Jiang Mubai would disagree with him if he knew about it, so Cheng Yunchuan had to ask someone else to buy the copyright for him.

Jiang Mubai was surprised when he received the news. "Why are my books adapted into movies? Is this some kind of inescapable curse?"

Wu You was envious after hearing this, "Isn't that great? Sister Mu Bai makes money from writing books and selling copyrights. This is something many people would envy. I can only say that Sister Mu Bai is really outstanding."

"Who said it wasn't? If your book wasn't excellent, who would be interested in it? I have made an appointment with the other party. I will take you there to discuss the matter tomorrow."

"Okay, the last movie I adapted is still in the editing process. I didn't expect to adapt it again so soon."

"If you write more books, the entire market will be movies adapted from your novels."

"I haven't drifted to that level yet, so don't worry."

"I really don't understand what's wrong with the film market. Can't screenwriters just write their own scripts? Why do they have to adapt other people's works? How meaningless is that?"

Manman also echoed Wu You's words, "It's because they can't create their own stories so they have to adapt existing stories. Another reason is that our Mu Bai is very famous, so adapting her book is a guarantee of box office success."

Jiang Mubai shook her head and let them say whatever they wanted. These things wouldn't affect her anyway.

She thought the meeting the next day would end quickly. After meeting Jiang Mubai, she didn't expect that the other party not only came to her to buy the copyright but also invited her to star in the movie.

Manman was happy to hear that. "It just so happens that we haven't been in the group for a while and you don't have anything to do. Why don't we give it a try? Didn't you tell me that you like the heroine you wrote very much? If you have this opportunity, you can portray this character and fulfill your wish."

After hearing this, the other party joined Manman in persuading her to take on the movie. Jiang Mubai was still hesitant at first, but when she heard that Cheng Yunchuan would also star in the movie, she agreed immediately.

The other party's eyes narrowed with joy. "This is the first time you two have worked together since you went public as a couple. This topic alone will attract many people to watch our movie. Plus, you are both movie kings and queens, so don't worry."

"That's right. Teacher Jiang is the author of the novel. You must know the quality of the movie, so you must not miss this opportunity."

Jiang Mubai formally agreed. When she returned home at night, she specially confirmed the movie with Cheng Yunchuan. She was very happy to know that he would really play the leading male role.

"We haven't worked together properly yet. I was hesitant at first, but when I heard that you would also be in the show, I immediately agreed."

Cheng Yunchuan was very happy to see Jiang Mubai agreed to his request, but he did not get carried away and reveal all this. "I was also reading your news. If you didn't agree, I would definitely not agree to act in the movie."

"Let's cooperate well this time. It can be regarded as fulfilling a wish."

"Of course. I've been thinking about playing opposite you for a long time. This time we can finally have a good competition."

"Then I hope Mr. Jiang will remember to show mercy and give me some face because I'm your boyfriend."

Jiang Mubai heard a cold snort, "You are a serious movie star, are you afraid that you can't beat me? Are you deliberately being modest to dispel my vigilance and then give me a fatal blow."

"Unless I don't want a girlfriend anymore, I wouldn't dare to do this to Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan chatted until midnight, and they had endless discussions and imaginations about future filming.

This time, because Jiang Mubai himself participated in the movie, she joined as an actor.
