The project was found, but the work still had to be done.
To adapt a novel into a television drama, the first thing was to contact the author to purchase the rights.
For any novelist, that was like a blessing from heaven.
Through the novel publishing platform, Chen Pingsheng got in touch with the author of Hua Qiangu, who learned that his work was about to be adapted into a television series.
The author was even more stupefied than he was.
He almost didn't make it through the conversation.
Overwhelmed with joy, he didn't dare to inquire about the price, fearing that asking for too much could lead to a rejection.
Actually, the life of a novelist is quite tough.
Only one in a ten thousand makes it big; the norm is not achieving success.
Being adapted into a television series like this, that really was a stroke of luck.
Once the series became a hit, all of the author's other novels would attract attention from the industry.
