His Genius Wife Is A Superstar Chapter 1487 Meimei’s Webtoon

Chapter 1487 Meimei’s Webtoon

The excited Meimei spoke too fast that Iris could barely understand her.
"Slow down, Meimei," Iris told her. "Speak more clearly."
She heard her friend taking a few deep breaths. It was clear that Meimei was trying to control her overexcitement.
Finally, Meimei said, "My webtoon, 'Queen of the Shadows', has offers for TV and film adaptations!"
"Congratulations." Iris was happy for her friend. "Have you sold the IP rights for the adaptation yet?"
"Not yet," Meimei replied. "My publisher is looking for the best offer. They're also quite considerate of my opinions."
"Then what's your decision?" Iris asked.
"Xiulan, if possible, I want LXC Studio to buy the IP rights for the adaptation. The other companies' offers might be tempting but I only trust you. I know that you'll do my baby justice." Meimei finally revealed the true reason why she called Iris at this time of the night.
"Yes, we'll buy it!" Iris said without any hesitation.
She glanced at her husband. Jin Liwei nodded at her in approval.
"Name the price," Iris said. "Even if LXC Studio doesn't have any funds available, I'll personally cover it."
"Hehehe. I know you will. These are the prices the other companies are willing to pay for the rights." Meimei shared several numbers. "My publisher might start a bidding war between the companies soon. That's why I immediately called you to sell immediately. The price offers are already so high that I don't care if they get any higher. All I care about is to entrust my baby to someone who I know will respect my original work without botching it for the sake of their so-called artistic interpretation."
"Got it. I'll make sure to buy the rights." Iris spoke to her husband next, "Darling, please."
Jin Liwei kissed her check and stood up to call his younger brother yet again on his phone. He informed Jin Chonglin about Iris' plan to buy the IP rights to adapt Meimei a.k.a. Princess Porkchop's wildly popular webtoon, "Queen of the Shadows".
Just like Iris, Jin Chonglin immediately agreed. Even a superstar like him followed the bestselling webtoon, partly because he personally knew the author, but mainly because the story was always exciting and extremely addicting.
There were now two phone conversations happening in the room.
Iris with Meimei and Jin Liwei with Jin Chonglin.
On Jin Liwei and Jin Chonglin's side, Jin Chonglin couldn't contain his excitement as well.
Jin Chonglin: "How much?! Hurry, Big Bro! We must obtain the IP rights as soon as possible. Hold on, I'm going to call my manager. He should know more about the process."
Jin Liwei waited. In no time, they were on a three-way phone call. He listened while his younger brother explained the situation to Lin Dong.
Finally, Lin Dong said: "I actually just heard about this today. I was about to suggest to you tomorrow that we buy the rights. We can use this to establish our foundations in the field of TV and film production.
Jin Chonglin: "That's what I was thinking, too."
Lin Dong: "I also heard from my previous colleagues that Bright Summit is one of the companies interested in obtaining the adaptation rights for the webtoon."
Jin Chonglin: "Should we collaborate with Bright Summit then?"
Jin Liwei: "No, we'll do it by ourselves."
Lin Dong: "Yes, I agree with CEO Jin. If we want LXC Studio to be known as an independent entertainment company, we should start slowly disassociating ourselves from Bright Summit. Don't worry. With CEO Jin backing us, Bright Summit won't dare do anything to harm us. They'll even curry favour with us."
Jin Liwei: "En."
Lin Dong: "We can always collaborate with Bright Summit in the future but not for our first film or TV drama production project. Our LXC Studio needs to show everyone that we can create an entire production by ourselves and succeed. This way, we can finally solidify our foundations in showbiz without relying too much on Jin Chonglin and Iris Long's fame and also CEO Jin's backing."
Jin Liwei glanced at his wife who was still chatting with Meimei. Iris must have heard what they were talking about because she gave a thumbs-up after Lin Dong's ambitious words.
Jin Liwei: "I'll send my assistant to LXC Studio first thing in the morning. He'll assist you in securing the IP rights to adapt Yang Mei's webtoon. Don't worry about the funds."
Lin Dong: "Understood, CEO Jin. I'll also make preparations so that we can make the offer as soon as possible."
Jin Liwei: "En."
Jin Chonglin still had so much to say about the matter, Jin Liwei didn't want to waste time listening to his younger brother's useless chatter.
"Go to sleep!" Jin Liwei ordered his younger brother before ending the phone call.
Similarly, Lin Dong excused himself before hanging up so that he could immediately prepare for their plan to purchase the rights to adapt Meimei's webtoon.
Jin Liwei felt relieved. He returned to his spot beside his beloved wife. She was still on the phone with her friend. He didn't disturb her and instead enjoyed watching her.
Back to Iris and Meimei's conversation, they had veered off the topic from Meimei's webtoon and instead gossiped about their friends' current situation. Meimei had missed so many girl squad gatherings due to her busy work schedule.
Iris shared several updates with her friend who missed out on so many things, including the following:
Little Jun was now on a positive road to recovery. He still wore casts for his more serious fractures, but his other injuries were mostly healed now. He was also doing well in his sessions with his psychiatrist, Dr. Grace Poon. His mother, Jiang Ying Yue, was also regularly attending therapy with the same doctor.
Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan were planning to return to the farm villa for real soon. Their return got delayed several times because Little Jun refused to leave Dragon Palace Home #10. The little guy wanted to stay with his Jin cousins for longer. Dr. Poon also suggested not to force the child. As a result, the couple could only wait until Little Jun felt ready.
