Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 575

There was a little episode in the process of acquiring the rights to "Migration to Mars."

When Cosmic Entertainment bought the IP, Pluto was still an unknown author. No one was willing to buy the copyrights to his novels, even when the publisher bundled his novels together at a low price.

At that time, the person in charge of Cosmic Entertainment's film production department had a personal relationship with Pluto's editor, so they purchased the rights to this particular book out of goodwill.

Two years ago, Pluto's new book, "Wormhole," won an international award, which brought his works into the spotlight.

The copyright of "Wormhole" was bought by VisualBox, a streaming platform under Microworks Corporation. They engaged a foreign team overseas who took two whole years to produce a sci-fi film of exceptional quality. The film achieved tremendous success due to raving reviews, despite being released in an unpopular time slot. It eventually grossed over four billion dollars at the box office, breaking the record for Caldor's highest-grossing film in history.

Following the success of "Wormhole," Pluto's other works were quickly snapped up by other film production companies, including the one that he was currently writing. These novels were adapted to film and went into production one after another, except for "Migration to Mars,"

Cosmic Entertainment was strapped for cash, but they were also unwilling to let go of this potential goldmine to other companies.

Xavier's smile vanished instantly and he replied sternly, "I'm sorry, but that is not for sale."

Frank quickly explained, "Mr. Seymour, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not buying the copyright of 'Migration to Mars,' but I am interested in collaborating to produce the film. I'll provide the funding, and you'll produce the film."

That was exactly what Xavier wanted.

"I see. That, we can discuss," Xavier answered with an air of arrogance, as he felt he was gradually gaining the upper hand in the negotiation.

Suppressing the urge to kick Xavier out of the room, Frank remarked casually, "However … "

Xavier was startled by the sudden turn of the tables. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "What is it?"
