People from Gu Jiahui's company went to the small producer's company and bought the project for two hundred thousand.
The project would expire in a year and the copyright would return to the author.
So, people from Gu Jiahui's company went to meet the novel's author.
The author's pen name is "Palace Taoist," and he was quite surprised to hear that Guanghong Media's subsidiary production company was interested in his novel.
He is a freelance writer and hasn't signed with any company.
The temporary head of the copyright department at Gu Jiahui's company told him they wanted to buy out the project for five million; if he writes sequels, they would buy them out for one million per book.
The author makes a living by writing small articles every month, leading a very frugal life.
He releases a book only about every three years.
