College Construction: My Principal System Chapter 31

"Everyone, come one by one. Line up, line up."
"Our Publishing House's printing department has already arranged for the tenth round of reprinting. This time, the supply should be sufficient. Everyone can rest assured."
At the entrance of Yun Ding High School's Publishing House, the volunteers from the school's various classes had already arrived for the book exhibition.
They were just in time to help their principal, Fang Yuan, resolve the urgent matter at hand.
The students showed a maturity that was completely different from that of a high school student at this age. They guided the channels of business, bookstore purchases, and so on to the meeting room to register.
At this moment, the front desk reported that someone wanted to see him. The person claimed to be the copyright manager of the lighting film company.
He wanted to discuss a few works with Principal Fang regarding a film adaptation.
"Principal Fang, I've heard a lot about you. Yun Ding High School really has a lot of talents. You're not surprised to see me, Principal Fang."
The man with a small mustache on his chin was called Charlie.
"Recently, we at Ray Entertainment were planning a movie with the theme of China's burial culture. We saw that your student Zhang Muye, the author under the pen name World Domination Song, wrote a very interesting story titled 'A Ghost Blows Out the Light'. If this author can cooperate with us, that would be best."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment. "You should probably ask Zhang Muye about this. After all, this is his work, not mine. Yun Ding High School's Publishing House only represents the rights to copy, distribute, and disseminate this work on the internet. As for rules on the adaptation... we don't have any."

"No, no, no, Principal Fang."
The mustached Charlie took the initiative to move closer to him, "You might not know this, but Muye has a very strong sense of honor in the school. He trusts you wholeheartedly. As long as our people go over and ask him, he will say that if it weren't for Yun Ding High School, he wouldn't have been able to create such a work. Therefore, any sale of the copyright would be more likely to be made through the school's Publishing House as you can see."
Fang Yuan rubbed his temples.
He had a headache.
This meant that the publishing company was not enough. He had to open another film company.
Charlie raised two fingers. "Then, headmaster Fang, please consider it. Our offer is two million. We can talk about it again. Sorry to bother you."
The same offer was repeated several times.
"Channel Entertainment here, three million for 'The Girls We Fell in Love with All Those Years Ago'."
"New Media here, five million for the rights to adapt 'Fleeting Times'."
"Broken Wall Culture here, ten million for the rights to adapt the three-body series."
...
In this era, literary works were the source of any copyright, except for paper, electronics, and audio.
It was also time to consider the planning of comics, animation, or adaptation to movies and TV series.
For the time being, two brand-new copyright departments, animation and film and television, would be set up in Yun Ding High School Publishing House, and special personnel would be sent to deal with this matter.
As for the film company, there would be plenty of time in the future, and it would have to wait until the Yun Ding High School film and Television Academy was newly established.

The busy Beijing Book Fair was nearing its end.
As Fang Yuan was leaving the fair, he ran into the Presidents of several other publishing houses.
Since the fair had already ended, he had originally planned to return after exchanging some pleasantries, but the other party heard that the person in front of him was Fang Yuan, Principal Fang, from Yun Ding High School's Publishing House.
The few of them quickly came over to greet him.
"I'm the President of Peking University's Publishing House."
"The President of Tsinghua University's Publishing House."
"The President of Fudan University Press."
"The President of Jiaotong University Press."
"The President of Tongji University Press"
"Hello, everyone."
There was naturally no need to introduce these five universities. They were the top four universities in the country.
Fang Yuan was wondering what kind of business exchange the five Presidents would have with him.
The President of Peking University said, "Isn't the self-enrollment process of the major universities about to start soon? The director of our school's enrollment office has discussed it and plans to hold a briefing at your Yun Ding High School. It should be in the next two days."
The President of Tsinghua University said, "Isn't that a coincidence? The director of our school's enrollment office will also personally make a trip to Jingcheng City."
The President of Jiaotong University said, "Let me tell you something amazing. Actually, the representative of our school's enrollment office has already left Shanghai two days ago. He might have already arrived."
The three Presidents looked at the President of jiaotong university: "Could it be that your school has also... gone?"
The President of Jiaotong university added, "Of course we have to go. After all, the Four Heavenly Kings can't just leave us alone, right?"
The President of Tongji University said, "Including me, there are usually five of the Four Heavenly Kings. This kind of thing should be common sense."
Fang Yuan said nothing.
'Just me chatting with you guys here, and your leaders have already rushed to my school?' He thought.
Looking at the time, it was indeed true that the self-admission of the various famous schools was right in front of them.
It was time to go back and prepare for the self-admission.
What was the so-called self-admission? Simply put, it meant that the outstanding students would choose the outstanding school in advance and take the initiative to apply for the exam. As long as the school authorities approved it, they would receive the notice of early admission.
At that time, the college entrance examination would be just a formality.
As long as the results were not too bad, they would be able to smoothly attend the corresponding university.
It was equivalent to letting a portion of people take the college entrance examination early.
Of course, only those students who were outstanding enough would be able to get this opportunity.
Obviously, the Four Heavenly Kings of the domestic university world.
Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, and Tongji University, these five universities, had all chosen to set their enrollment points at Yun Ding High School.
One could imagine how much importance they attached to Yun Ding High School.
Fang Yuan waved goodbye to the Presidents.
They boarded the plane and took off. Within a few hours, they were back in Jingcheng.
At this time.
The school gate was already crowded.
