"Once you sell the rights, you'll have money. You can establish a Film Company and take these people in," Carmillon suggested.
Li Hong shook his head, rejecting Carmillon's proposal. "Old Car, that's simply unrealistic. You know that starting a Film Company requires a lot of documentation; it's not something that can be done quickly. By the time I get it set up, they might already starve to death in the Imperial Capital City."
"I see. But I have a solution. My studio once acquired a type of Film Company to enter the Hua Xia Market. Although it's quite basic, all the necessary documents are complete. I can transfer this company to you, and that should solve the problem."
Li Hong stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Carmillon's suggestion was indeed quite good; the Soul Clan could be accommodated this way.
"Alright then, but you need to move quickly. I'm afraid that by the time we get everything sorted out, they might already be dead from hunger."
"Don't worry, that's already settled," Carmillon replied with a smile.
"Water? You managed to do it this fast?" Li Hong was taken aback.
This was quite a significant deal; how could it be resolved so quickly?
"As you put it, when there's money, one can be willful!"
"…"
Li Hong had a retort but decided against saying it.
It really was being willful with money!
Well, since Carmillon had taken care of everything, there was no need for Li Hong to refuse any longer. Signing contracts and such would require an appearance from the end point, so he wouldn't need to step in much. At most, he would just need to show up for some publicity.
After hanging up on Carmillon, it wasn't long before the phone from the end point rang as well.
As expected, it was just to inform Li Hong that the copyright issue had been resolved. At the same time, he was asked to attend a press conference to promote it.
Meanwhile, a large banner appeared on the app and website.
"Celebrating Chalk White's sale of the film rights for Breaking Through the Sky, three free reads, and a frenzy of bonus coins!"
The online buzz continued as lively as ever.
The news that the film rights for Breaking Through the Sky had sold for one hundred million stirred countless writers.
If someone like Chalk White could succeed, then surely we can too.
In response, Li Hong could only express two words.
Ha ha!
Without naive connections, who in their right mind would pay such a high price?
"Of course, I am the exception." Li Hong firmly refused to acknowledge any sort of dirty dealings between him and Carmillon.
Perhaps Carmillon had specifically instructed this, so shortly after the contract was signed, the money Li Hong was owed was deposited into his bank account.
Of course, this was after taxes.
After deducting various miscellaneous fees, only fifty million remained for Li Hong.
For this, he had no complaints. Free money is money well taken.
"Breaking Through the Sky" is certainly not of high quality, and Li Hong knows it well. To put it bluntly, it's just a book he wrote for his own amusement. Any talk of its adaptation value is pure nonsense.
He was already extremely satisfied to have sold it for such a high price.
"Alright, I should call Carmillon first," Li Hong thought, wanting to check on the situation with that film company.
After dialing Carmillon's number, he immediately heard his voice on the other end.
"Hey Li, the money has arrived, right? I specifically instructed them."
"It has arrived, thanks for your help, Old Car." Li Hong knew very well that this money reaching him so quickly was largely due to Carmillon's efforts.
"That's good. By the way, you should come over here soon; I'll transfer the shares of that company to you."
Afterward, Li Hong went out and met up with Carmillon. They went around until dusk before completing all the necessary procedures.
"Alright, from now on, this company is yours. Of course, for convenience's sake, I've kept one percent of the shares. I think this will make things smoother for you," Carmillon said with a smile as he put away the documents.
Li Hong nodded; Carmillon had truly been generous to him. As an international director, his willingness to hold one percent of the shares in this company moved Li Hong deeply.
"The procedures for changing the legal representative and restructuring the company will take some time. Just be patient. Now, let's go get Soulmate involved," Carmillon added.
With that, he took Li Hong to find Soulmate, who was sweating it out at a construction site.
People often envied the wages of bricklayers compared to those sitting in offices but never considered what it took to earn that pay.
Under the night sky, countless lights twinkled as the aroma of food filled the air.
But for the sake of that high salary, these people could only move slowly under the spotlight. They also wanted to go home, lie on a soft bed, and play on their phones. They longed to wait at the table for their wives' Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Yet all of this was destined to be nothing but a fantasy, just like Soulmate. Even the powerful Demon Emperor from another world could only bow and scrape before a fat Foreman.
"Sorry, I got a bit overly sentimental again!" Li Hong quickly bowed in apology.
"What did you say, Li?" Carmillon didn't catch what Li Hong had said.
"Nothing, just taking the blame for a Loser hiding behind the computer."
With that, the two walked slowly toward the construction site and found Soulmate at the cement mixing area.
"My lord, what brings you here?" Soulmate was pleasantly surprised; he thought he wouldn't see them again.
"Enough with the forced sentimentality or you'll lose your followers. Quickly change back into your original clothes and come with us," Li Hong said, pointing at Soulmate's work uniform with a frown.
Though confused, Soulmate complied. Soon, he changed back into his original clothes and fell in step with the two.
"Well, here's the thing..."
Li Hong shared Carmillon's scheme with Soulmate, eager to hear his thoughts.
"Can you make money as an actor?" Although he had only been on Earth for a short time, Soulmate had clearly grasped the essence of life here.
Carmillon smiled and said, "Of course you can make money. Those stars earn enough in endorsement fees in a year to last you several decades of bricklaying. I believe you have what it takes to become Best Actor."
Li Hong nodded; Carmillon's thoughts aligned perfectly with his own.
The Soul Clan had an advantage as actors that others did not possess. They excelled at portraying characters from different worlds.
Having lived in another realm, it was only natural for them to play the roles of otherworldly beings. This was especially true for Soulmate, who was a perfect fit for the behind-the-scenes roles in certain fantasy blockbusters.
Carmillon recognized this and encouraged Li Hong to take in this group.
With a clear response from the two, Soulmate nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, I'll gather the clan members. We're going to act."
"Yes, you just take these people and go to the company to find me. Here are the location and phone number." After saying this, Li Hong took out a brochure for the Film Company and handed it to Soulmate.
Upon looking at the name, it wasn't impressive at all; it was called Sweet Potato Film Company.
"Forget it, we'll just use it," Li Hong said, too lazy to change the name.
Sweet Potato Films would be Sweet Potato Films; after all, it was quite catchy. It was just that the logo of that roasted sweet potato company was a bit annoying. It seemed they would need to come up with a new logo.
