Chapter 261 Astonishing Results

Jiang Tiansheng was so enthusiastic about the adaptation rights for *The Legend of Sword and Fairy* because the book was simply too good!

From the moment he discovered it, Jiang Tiansheng devoured the book, chasing it to the latest chapter in one go.

It wasn't until the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon that Jiang Tiansheng snapped out of the xianxia world within the book.

He had actually stayed up all night reading!

Jiang Tiansheng had weathered countless storms in his life!

He had never before stayed up all night reading a book like this!

Especially since it was his favorite genre, xianxia.

This realization made Jiang Tiansheng believe that this book would definitely be the best online novel of the year!

That's why he sent the book's information to his assistant, asking him to contact the author and purchase the film and television adaptation rights.

Jiang Tiansheng was confident that his judgment was absolutely keen!

In the realm of xianxia dramas, he considered himself a leading figure in the entertainment industry.

Now that he had his eye on this book, it would surely bring him a handsome reward in the future.

The thought that the TV series produced by Shenghua Group would sweep the nation, solidifying his reputation as a leading figure in the xianxia genre, made Jiang Tiansheng feel like his luck had finally turned around.

After meeting Lu Xuan, he finally had some good news.

So when his assistant replied that they couldn't contact the author, Jiang Tiansheng was clearly surprised.

Because he knew that he was definitely the fastest in the industry to act!

No one else had his quick decision-making ability and capital!

Now that his subordinates weren't up to the task, Jiang Tiansheng had to take matters into his own hands.

"Teacher Qian, I want to know who the author of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy* is."

"Ah, you should ask Editor-in-Chief Su yourself."

Teacher Qian shrugged helplessly.

He didn't know who the author was; after all, Su Mo had personally recommended the book.

"Okay."

Jiang Tiansheng had no choice but to hang up the phone.

"Looks like I can only contact Su Mo directly."

"Xiao Li, get me Su Mo's phone number."

Meanwhile, people below had already started contacting Su Mo.

Su Mo was a little dazed when he received a call from the general manager of Shenghua Group's business division.

"Teacher Su, I was wondering if you could help us contact the author of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*. Our Shenghua Group wants to purchase the film and television adaptation rights for this novel."

"We understand that you discovered this book, so we hope Teacher Su can provide some assistance."

The person on the phone was very polite.

But Su Mo's expression grew increasingly strange.

The author of *Xian Jian*?

Buying the adaptation rights for *Xian Jian*?

"This..."

Hearing Su Mo's hesitant voice, the person on the phone immediately offered tempting terms.

"Teacher Su, as long as you help us contact the author, Shenghua Group will give you a reward of 100,000 yuan, regardless of success or failure."

"If we reach an agreement with the author, we will also give you one percent of the contract as your reward."

"As you know, the copyright fee for this kind of thing is usually tens of millions. I believe this reward will definitely satisfy you."

This series of conditions was indeed the best that Su Mo had ever encountered in the industry.

But now, it wasn't about the conditions.

Su Mo knew that there had been conflicts between Lu Xuan and Jiang Tiansheng.

Now, Jiang Tiansheng's Shenghua Group was actually taking the initiative to seek cooperation. It was truly dramatic.

The person on the other end saw that Su Mo wasn't speaking and thought that the conditions weren't good enough.

He immediately stated magnanimously, "Teacher Su, if you feel that the conditions are not satisfactory, you can directly name your price. Our Shenghua Group will definitely meet your requirements."

The person on the phone continued to raise the stakes, just to reach a cooperation.

Su Mo couldn't help but say with a wry smile, "I can't make a decision on this matter. I still need to contact the author before I can give you an answer."

"Okay, as soon as you have news, please contact us immediately. We are definitely the highest bidders in the industry!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Mo sat on the sofa, wondering how to tell Lu Xuan about this matter.

Ding-ling-ling—

The phone rang again.

Su Mo thought it was the same person from before. He answered the phone and realized it was someone else.

"Hello Teacher Su, I am Jiang Tiansheng from Shenghua Group."

"Hello."

Su Mo didn't expect Jiang Tiansheng to be so impatient that he would call him directly.

Was he that anxious?

Sure enough, after a few pleasantries, Jiang Tiansheng went straight to the point.

"Teacher Su, I am contacting you this time to inquire about the author of *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*."

"Our Shenghua Group sincerely wants to purchase the film and television adaptation rights for *The Legend of Sword and Fairy*."

"You can mention any conditions you have."

Since the boss of Shenghua Entertainment had said this much, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like I bet on the right treasure this time!"

*Xian Jian* was not only a good book, but also had deeper film and television benefits.

Su Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "This author told me before that he wanted to focus on writing and didn't want too many outsiders disturbing him."

"However, I will convey your intentions, as for whether it will work out..."

"I can't make any promises."

Su Mo spoke very seriously.

As for whether it would work out, he felt that Jiang Tiansheng was definitely daydreaming.

Jiang Tiansheng was also very satisfied with Su Mo's attitude, and said generously, "Teacher Su, you must believe in the strength of our Shenghua Group. Money is definitely not a problem!"

"As long as you can state your conditions, everything can be discussed."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mo was silent for a while, then laughed.

"Hey, what a mess."

He was now very interested in what a wonderful situation it would be when Lu Xuan decided to reveal his identity.

Unfortunately, he couldn't go to Shenghua Group and appreciate it in front of Jiang Tiansheng.

Su Mo calculated the time and waited until the evening to call Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan had been working on the final stages of *Hero* during this time.

He was almost constantly on the go.

But he still had to pay attention to his father-in-law's call.

"Lu Xuan, the results for *The Legend of Sword and Fairy* are out!"

Su Mo's voice was a suppressed excitement.

Originally, he planned to talk to Lu Xuan about Jiang Tiansheng from Shenghua Group wanting to purchase the film and television adaptation rights.

But after getting the data in the evening, he immediately felt that Jiang Tiansheng was a minor matter.

Su Mo didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "*The Legend of Sword and Fairy* has now exceeded ten million views!"

"According to the data provided to me by your website, the number of new readers is doubling."

"This shows that the potential of this book has not yet been released, and the comments online are all urging for updates."

"Lu Xuan, you can look at the discussion topics on Weibo. They have gradually climbed to the top twenty of the trending searches!"

"And we didn't buy any traffic!"

This was indeed good news for Lu Xuan.

Originally, he launched *Xian Jian* to attract traffic to the website, and to gather popularity for his own online novels in advance.

But now it seemed that it was no longer needed.

Based on the current popularity of this book, as long as he updated the book step by step, the website would definitely become the best novel website at the moment!

In this way, the entire online literature market would be completely opened!

The future is promising!
