Chapter 712: Chapter 712: With the Original, Who Will Read the Sequel? Chapter 712: Chapter 712: With the Original, Who Will Read the Sequel? “The girl blurted out, ‘I seriously suspect that Bai Chuwei has been alive for over two hundred years!’
Then, the ‘Records of the Mountain Moon’ were originally written by her, and that does justify the nickna netizens gave her: Ti Managent Master.
Director Li heard her loud and clear and couldn’t help but snort with laughter, and said cheerfully to the Bai Chuwei opposite him, ‘Miss Bai, you do have a good sense of humor.’
She was even joking with him. If it was her work, didn’t that an Bai Chuwei had lived for more than two hundred years? Hadn’t she beco an old fairy then?
But Director Li didn’t take it to heart and just treated it as a joke.
Bai Chuwei picked up her coffee and took a light sip, smiling without a word.
Directors these days suffer from a lack of imagination compared to the rich imagination of the youth.
Once the contract was signed, the deal was pretty much settled, and the anxiety that had been haunting Director Li finally eased.
Then, he seed to rember sothing and said with so apology, ‘Miss Bai, because the amount of sixty million is quite large, I will have to go back and apply to the company for it, so the paynt might be delayed.’
Normally, the royalties could have been paid to Bai Chuwei in a few days after signing the contract, but now it was not possible.
A whopping copyright fee of sixty million, even if Bai Chuwei herself wasn’t keen on it, still had to be applied for with Ruishi Entertainnt, and it was estimated that it would take up to three months to receive the paynt.
Bai Chuwei’s eyebrows quirked up slightly, and she said with a smile, ‘No problem.’
If the money wasn’t in the account yet, she could just go directly to Duan Feihan himself to get it. The money couldn’t slip away.
The surrounding students sighed with envy; after all, Imperial University students were top talents bound for future million or even ten-million annual salaries.
But earning that much money while still on campus was certainly challenging.
Bai Chuwei was so lucky, having an ancestor like Mr. Bai and living off the legacy benefits of his unpublished works could make her rich for generations!
With the original work in play, who would bother to read a sequel?
Liu Yuyou stood outside the Ti Cafe, watching through the glass as Bai Chuwei signed the contract passed over by Director Li, completely cutting her out of the picture…
So, had she written tens of thousands of words for the sequel for nothing?
The sequels written by her great-great-grandfather Liu Guansheng had at least mitigated so people’s disappointnt and had been adapted into several TV dramas, but what had she gotten from her writing? Nothing?
Liu Yuyou’s mind was a ss, her fingers stiff as she pulled out her phone from her bag, glanced at a WeChat ssage, and her figure staggered dramatically.
It was a ssage from the editor at the publishing house.
[Editor: Yuyou, sorry, but our boss got the news that Director Li has obtained the sequels of Mr. Bai’s original work, and at this ti, we really can’t publish your sequel anymore.]
With the continuation of the original work coming out now, publishing a fan-written sequel at this ti would just be asking for ridicule, wouldn’t it?
Did she think she was a great writer, or did she think she was better than the original author Mr. Bai?
It was all for naught.
She had burned the midnight oil writing tens of thousands of words over several months, and all her efforts had gone up in flas.
She had never experienced such a huge loss in her life.
Liu Yuyou stood outside the Ti Cafe, her eyes misting over as she watched the two inside chatting away happily.
Was Bai Chuwei the descendant of Mr. Bai, which is why she had the unpublished sequels of ‘Records of the Mountain Moon’ in her family?
Then… why had only chapters 23 and 24 been made public in the past? Why weren’t they all released?
If Bai Chuwei had made the entire text public earlier, how would she have written the subsequent content? And why would she waste her efforts on tens of thousands of words?
