Chapter 1198
Zack nodded, âYeah. Other companies offered more, but we didnât trust their production quality, so we went with Foriver Entertainmentâ
Five million for the rights may not be a big deal to some big shots, but for newcomers like Cornelia, it was a hefty amount. Her last work, The Story of Nesiona, only felched a sixâfigure sum for the rights This time, it was a ridiculous jump.
âReally? Five million? Youâre not pulling my leg, right?â Cornelia asked
âWhen have we ever messed around with you like that?â Abigail replied.
They had grown up together, and while they liked to goof off, they knew when to be serious and not joke around
Cornelia fell silent, taking time to digest this massive number. She knew that her status had been elevated thanks to Hannah. Hannahâs filming of Corneliaâs The Story of Nesiona had significantly boosted Corneliaâs income.
Now she had once again expressed her love for Corneliaâs new work on social media and showed interest in being involved, making Corneliaâs work skyrocket in value..
Suddenly having this huge income, Cornelia was thrilled but also a bit worried. She was afraid that someone would buy her work and not even be able to recover the cost in the end.
âDid you really sign the contract?â Cornelia asked.
âTheyâve already transferred the down payment to us. How could it be fake?â Abigail understood what Cornelia was worned about, âDonât overthink it. Foriver Entertainment isnât stupid. Their marketing department has done a thorough assessment before buying our work. If your work isnât good, no matter how much Hannah promotes it. Foriver Entertainment wouldnât buy it.â
Zack added, âHonestly, signing a contract at this stage is a noâbrainer for Foriver Entertainment. Next month, when The Story of Nesiona starts airing, with Hannahâs popularity, Foriver Entertainment s production quality, and the great plot, the show will at least be popular, if not a huge hit. Once the show becomes popular, your value as the original author will skyrocket, and the value of your work will certainly nse with it. By then, the bundled price of your film and animation rights will definitely be much higher than it is now, and you might feel like I sold it for too cheap.â
Cornelia said, âWould I? Weâve been steadily growing our studio for years, from just the three of us to now over twenty. We just want to continue growing slowly, not make it big overnight.â
Zack agreed, âIndeed, weâve always been steady. Weâre not in a rush to make quick money. One step at a time, thatâs the way to go.â
Abigail chimed in, âTodayâs a good day, you two, donât get sidetracked. Now, letâs think about how to spend this moneyâ
Zack asked, âRemember our website crash a few days ago?â
Cornelia nodded, âIâve contacted the best engineers in Riverton. Their annual salary is high, and Iâm still considering it.â
Zack said, âNow we have enough funds. We should invest some of it to hire them. We need to ensure the quality of our website, we canât let it crash againâ
âAgreed. Cornelia nodded.
âWe must invest this money. But Iâm more curious about how much each of us will get.â Abigail started crunching numbers, âCornelia, Zack, hear me out.â
Alright, go aheadâ Seeing Abigail so excited, Cornelia couldnât help but get excited too.
âIs that all you care about? Zack teased
Abigail exclaimed, âFive million! Do you know what that means? Thatâs a number I didnât even dare to dream about before, and now itâs in our account! How can I not be
excited?â
