What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

Fortunately, Lin Meng and the others came this time with only 3 people in total, plus Li Chungang himself, there were only 7 people, and none of the cars were full, so there was no need for other arrangements. He drove his own Audi RS[-]. The three drove to their destination.

The ancestors often said: We must despise our opponents strategically and pay attention to our opponents tactically!

Li Chungang originally thought that this time he would have a very fierce verbal battle with Sun Moon Qiankun and others on the cooperation of "Sword Come" film and television copyright, but in fact it was completely different.Even in the eyes of an onlooker like him who didn't participate in the whole process, the sun, the moon, and the universe are also Gu Wan'er, which is really too easy to talk about.

After the two parties sat down and briefly introduced themselves, they officially entered the whole body——

Lin Meng had just proposed the second plan they had prepared in advance, and in order to leave room for negotiation and counter-offering for the other party, he opened his mouth to share a maximum of 40% of the share ratio. As a result, it turned out that Gu Wan'er's focus was not on this at all. In terms of the 40% sharing ratio, they asked them a question instead:

"If Chun Gang personally adapts the script, I can accept this sharing ratio. In addition, there is no problem with the minimum total investment amount not being less than 1.5 million. If there is insufficient funds during the filming process, we will It is not a problem that we can continue to increase investment. Even on the issue of actor selection, we will mainly rely on Chun Gang’s opinions. I believe that no one in this world knows the characters in the book better than the author. Natural choice The actors who come out are also the most suitable!" Gu Wan'er's analysis is very reasonable.

To be honest, the cooperation method proposed by Li Chungang was never considered before she came to Yanjing. Originally, they thought that the film and television copyright price of "Sword Come" would fluctuate around 6000-6500 million, but now the other party proposed 1.5 A total investment of 40 million yuan, accounting for 6000% is not exactly the psychological price of [-] million yuan.

In addition, Wanxing Entertainment can also get additional scripts adapted by the author and help from the author in various aspects, such as the layout of the scene, the selection of actors, the production of props, etc... all of which can guarantee the filming. TV dramas can keep the original flavor of the novel content to the greatest extent.

In other words, Wanxing Entertainment still paid that price, and earned back the best and most suitable labor force for free - Li Chungang.

Rounding it up, it's about [-] million in their blood!

This is the unequal information on the negotiating table. Even though Lin Meng had made a lot of preparations for this in advance, she had no experience in the entertainment industry at all before this, let alone the corresponding contacts. It is understandable that there will be deviations from the reality of the plan made by the large amount of funds plus some personal judgments.

Compared with Gu Wan'er, not much else to say, her family's main business is a business similar to "angel investment". The most important thing is whether a project has potential and the rate of return. "This work, which has just released a book and has shown a trend of "big IP", was filmed into a TV series. From the perspective of professionals, as long as you are willing to invest, the special effects are not too unsatisfactory, and the returns will not be bad.

Even taking a step back, buying the film and television copyright of "Sword Lai" at the current price would be an excellent investment, and the value would definitely increase in the next year or two.

To be honest, this kind of negotiation where the opponent has no desire to resist at all makes Lin Meng, the winner, a little bit unmotivated. After the general direction is determined, the rest is nothing more than some details of cooperation that need to be discussed. From the attitude Gu Wan'er and the others showed at the beginning, the two sides basically did not encounter any differences on the details.

The whole process is that one party makes a request, and the other party nods in agreement...

It was finally determined: Wanxing Entertainment Company invested 1.5 million and accounted for 60%, and Li Chungang took the film and television copyright of "Sword Lay" plus script adaptation and other conditions to account for 40%, reaching a cooperation in filming a TV series.

Of course, 1.5 million is not a sum that can be immediately given out just by talking about it. Gu Wan'er said that 6000 million will be used in the initial stage to prepare for the early filming, including the preparation of the crew, the layout of the shooting scene, and the invitation of stars to participate in the performance, etc. However, this is also a challenging matter for a start-up entertainment company, and it will naturally take a long time to handle it well.

It just so happens that the serialization and adaptation of "The Sword Comes" into a script also takes time.

On this point, the two sides coincided with each other!

Moreover, they initially decided to shoot about 60 episodes of the first part of "Sword Come". If the response is good, they will consider further shooting the content of the second part or even the third part.

Chapter 359 Breaking News

"The film and television copyright of "Sword Come" has reached a cooperation agreement with Wanxing Entertainment Company."

Out of emotion and reason, Li Chungang reached a cooperation agreement with other companies for the film and television copyright of his works, so Li Chungang briefly explained the matter to Natto, so that Long Teng would not know that the film and television copyright of "Sword Come" is no longer in his hands. It's not good to have an own goal.

Originally...

After explaining to Natto, he stopped paying attention. As a result, the next day, a brand new announcement appeared on the backstage of the author of Longteng and on the announcement page on the home page:

""Sword Come" will soon be adapted for film and television"

"Recently, our company and Wanxing Entertainment Co., Ltd. have successfully reached a cooperation agreement on the film and television copyright of the book "Sword Come". The author of "Sword Come" Zhichun Zhigang told the editor, Longteng platform, and countless readers who silently supported him We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you, it is because of these people's silent contributions that today's Zhichun Zhigang has been achieved..."

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately caused a widespread uproar.

Countless people were stunned, their first reaction was to rub their eyes vigorously, did they have hallucinations?

This Long Teng's announcement is sure to be correct, is it "The Sword Comes" and not "The Sword in the Snow"?

If it wasn't for the confusion in their memory, wouldn't the book have just written less than [-] words?This sold the film and television rights?Also, where did this Wanxing entertainment company come from? Why did they quietly reach a cooperation without even receiving any news before this?

Children, do you have many question marks...

For the vast majority of people who don't know the truth, this incident is so sudden that it is a little difficult for them to react, just like a thick fog that plagues them.

The mouths of all the writers, big and small, could almost stuff an apple into their mouths. It's so envious that people are so jealous. Who doesn't know that the copyright of film and television is the most valuable and the most sought-after, as long as one copy is sold? , It is worthy of those who have worked hard and diligently for several years.

Not to mention the author at the level of a great god, the copyright fee can cost hundreds of millions, and the premise is that it can be sold. It is easy to sell.

Anyway, as long as the film and television copyright is in hand, whether it is a high-cost, well-produced TV series or a low-cost, content-oriented web series, there is a market.

Moreover, most of these online dramas adapted from online texts do not have too strict requirements for actors and directors, and the budget in this regard is not too high. After all, there is no need to compete with peers in terms of sophistication.Actors can boldly adopt newcomers, and even directly select professional actors from the Drama Academy. You must know that for these people, the remuneration is second, as long as they are given a chance!

The essence of web dramas lies in the content. How to present excellent plots to the audience is what needs to be considered.

Speaking of making up stories, isn't this what their web writers are best at, which is why most high-quality IP stories come from web novels.

Since the Internet officially entered the "IP era" in 2015, online dramas have become an explosive growth trend. In 2016, nearly a thousand online dramas were born, many of which were myths of low-cost productions counterattacking high-cost ones. In the end, both fame and fortune and word-of-mouth were reaped.

None of these online dramas that have successfully counterattacked have the same characteristics, that is, the male and female protagonists have high looks and are loved by the audience, the plot is compact and not brain-dead, interspersed with various light-hearted jokes that appeared in the original text, which perfectly suits young people. The aesthetics of a generation.It has easily captured billions of clicks on the entire network, and this alone can make countless investors suffer from jealousy in an instant.

……

At this moment, countless writers hiding in the corner or under the quilt silently shed tears, which really proved a sentence: There is no harm without comparison.

Even the top Platinum God couldn't help being surprised!I'm afraid this was discussed with the other party in advance, but it doesn't look like a customized text, but it's all good, what else can I say besides envying them.At their level, they probably also know how valuable the film and television copyright of a book is, anyway, it will definitely not be low.

This guy is really enviable!

After doing some calculations, I suddenly realized that Zhichun Zhigang had already completed three works in less than a year since his debut, and now the fourth and fifth are also in double release, and the copyright But they have already quietly sold piles of books, and the physical copyright of almost every work has been completely monopolized by Manjinghua Publishing House.

Could it be that……

This year's rich list of online writers will be released, and it will not be possible to reshuffle the cards! ?

Uh~ If these web writers know that besides the five novels serialized by Longteng, Li Chungang also co-published the annual best-selling masterpiece "Kyushu Misty Record" with Manjinghua Publishing Company, I don't know What will be the reaction.

On this day, most of the Internet literature circle was shocked, and writers and readers, large and small, were discussing this matter, because a popular book like "Sword Come" was confirmed to be sold not long after it was released. The two major revenue giants, physical publishing copyright and film and television copyright, can be said to have opened a precedent in the history of online literature, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

Although it is said that the boss sells the copyright, it has nothing to do with them who are still struggling for full attendance every day, but if the pie falls from the sky one day, it happens to hit their heads where?Master Xing taught us a truth: "If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

It's better to be alone than to be happy alone, because Li Chungang reached a cooperation agreement with Gu Wan'er's Wanxing Entertainment Company, and Li Chungang, who was happy, specially sent out top red envelopes to all the author groups he exists, so that everyone can be happy.

"Chun Gang boss Niubi ~ (broken sound)"

"Boss Chungang is invincible!"

"The copyright tycoon is so terrifying, you can take me to pretend and take me away."

"I can add a marinated egg to the instant noodles for supper tonight."

"You're so picky, if it's me, I'll add another piece of ham!"

"..."

What the hell are all the great writers who make millions a month trying to pretend to be poor here?

—

While Li Chungang was living a life of cohabitation with Miao Miao leisurely and shamelessly, just as everyone was still immersed in the joy of the great masters, the authors had already started to jump out of the "shackles" of website subscriptions and focus on operating their own works. On the occasion of IP and brand, a blockbuster bombarded the entire web circle inside and out:

"Perfect Literature wholly acquired Chuangwen Chinese.com and Huayu Literature.com and changed its name to Perfect Literature.com, and successfully completed the first round of financing, with a valuation of up to 60 billion. It is planned to be officially listed next year!"

Chapter 360 Exercising Girlfriend's Rights

"Did you make a mistake!?"

Because this news first came from a netizen in Jianghu Forum, which was pulled from a website of Perfect Group Company. The news is true or false.

Some time ago, Chuangwen was aggressively confronting Long Teng. For this reason, he even spared no effort to dig up Yaoyang, the pillar of Long Teng, and even bought many small and medium-sized novel websites. Expanding the territory, no one would have thought of...

Just say no and it's gone!

If this news excludes the possibility of fraud, then there is only one possibility left: Perfect Group offered a sky-high price that the former owners of Chuangwen Chinese Website and Huayu Literature Website could not refuse!

As soon as this news came out, the customer service lady at the front desk of Perfect Group had an MMP in her heart at this moment. She didn't know what to say or not. From the moment she sat down in her seat at work during the day, the phone on her desk never stopped ringing. , almost as soon as she hung up the last call, the next call came in seamlessly. Leave her scratching her head.

"Is that announcement from your company true?"

This special meow's question has no beginning and no end, and she doesn't say which announcement it is, so how can she answer it.

"Did you really acquire Chuangwen and China Entertainment?"

She is just a small front desk customer service lady who is responsible for answering the phone. Whether the company wants to acquire other companies will not go through her. This question is too embarrassing.

"I'm an internet reporter from Fenghuang Entertainment. I would like to ask how much your Perfect Group paid for the acquisition of two top literary websites?"

"Sorry!", "I don't know", "Please call back later, sir."

At the beginning, the customer service lady at the front desk was able to explain in detail to these callers who might be customers, but later she found that she was thinking too much, her mouth was almost dry, and her throat was like being pointed It hurts like being on fire. I'm afraid if this continues, after sleeping tonight, I will burn the next day.

Don't underestimate the keen sense of smell of the news media!After the Perfect Group completed the acquisition of the two major literature websites and announced the news to the public, within an hour, the entire Internet was already covered with "detailed" reports on this matter.

As for how detailed it is, it depends on the brains of these network reporters and editors, and how strong their network search capabilities are.After all, since the acquired novel websites Chuangwen Novels.com and Huayu Literature.com have not come forward to confirm the situation at this time, they can only rely on an announcement from the Perfect Group. Let your imagination run wild.

A news website with strength and background immediately contacted the management of Perfect Group through its own relationship, or directly found the management of two novel websites for verification, and the answers they got were all affirmative. This proves that this announcement is not a rumor, but a real thing!The funniest thing is that some unscrupulous news websites or APP software, in order to catch the heat, actually hold a screenshot of the announcement from the Perfect Group, and start to use their imagination to make up a story about three companies intriguing in business. The drama of Perfect Group's wealth and prosperity made people almost laugh out loud.

Most of those who work in the news media have betrayed their integrity and given up the bottom line of morality!As long as it can win enough audience attention, it doesn't matter if it is criticized a few words by netizens. It is king to bring real users to their website or software APP.

When Li Chungang saw this news from the "Daily Toutiao" app, he was very surprised, and at the same time, he also had a feeling that it was true, because in fact, it started as early as Longteng's acquisition of Jiaxing Chinese website. , he had already begun to have this premonition——

The web literature world is about to usher in a new round of reshuffle!

And in this new round of reshuffle crisis caused by Longteng's first attack, Longteng is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary because of seizing the opportunity, and Chuangwen Chinese.com, which is not far behind, is also at a disadvantage at the beginning Under the circumstances, they quickly found a breakthrough to stabilize their own situation, and tried their best to expand their territory, while other small and medium-sized novel websites could only tremble in this storm of reshuffle.

There are only two final fates waiting for them: waiting to die in place or being acquired passively!

It's not that no one doesn't want to choose dreams, but the weight of the word "dream" seems so light in front of the offensive of money, and it's already scattered to nowhere with a light blow.

Judging from the current situation, the online literary world still maintains the theme of "one super, many powerful". As for whether it can evolve into a confrontation between two worlds, it depends on Perfect Group's acquisition of two original five major novels at the same time. Whether the website's second creative writing and China Entertainment's big money can shake this situation.

Backed by Qifan Group, Longteng has strong strength, and its position as the industry leader is a bit unshakable. At first, it was thought that the departure of the supreme god Yaoyang would make it turbulent, but the strong rise of Zhichun Zhigang and The top five platinum authors quickly filled this vacancy, and there was even a feeling that they were going to grow against the trend.

Just when the whole network was eating the freshly baked "melon" of Perfect Group, there was another latest news that made them a little overwhelmed for a while.

I don't know if the two parties agreed in advance, or did it on purpose when they saw an opportunity.Anyway, Perfect Group announced the acquisition of Chuangwen Chinese Network and China Entertainment Literature Network, the boss and giant website, and announced its strong entry into the Internet literature industry, which caused a lot of discussion on the entire Internet for a short time.

As a result, this discussion has not yet come to a general result. The difference between the back and forth is less than an hour. A news jointly published by the three major domestic communication giants, Unable to Move, Unconnected, and Telecom, spread instantly. all over the web:

"Recently, the brand new online literature platform - Zhangyue Novels.com, which is co-operated by the three major communication companies, Mobile, Unicom, and Telecom, will be launched, and at the same time, the client App will also be launched simultaneously."

This relationship is good. Perfect Group also knows a way to enter the web text industry. It is also to gain a firm foothold in the web text industry in the shortest time. Who knows that the three major communication giants are called one. Being arrogant and unreasonable, he just held hands and forced a foot in.

Originally, it was a situation of one superpower and many powerful five web giants. When everyone thought it was going to become a situation of two worlds, it was about to evolve into a situation of "Three Kingdoms" in the blink of an eye——

It is estimated that for a long time to come, the Internet literature world is expected to be surging again!

Chapter 361 A Little Suggestion

The entry of capital giants one after another is bound to intensify the fierce competition in the web text market.

However, for web writers, more capital entering the market and more novel platforms mean more opportunities. If the east is not bright and the west is bright, maybe some people in Longteng have no way to get too many early opportunities. The author can glow with a different brilliance after writing in another place.

To put it bluntly, the core of the novel website is the novel, where does the novel come from?It’s not yet written out word by word by the authors with the keyboard, so retaining the author is the key issue that these novel websites need to consider in the future!The only benefit of competition may be that the benefits of the authors will increase because of this, even if the most basic full attendance is increased by one or two hundred, that is still money~

As for a master of Internet literature like Li Chungang, it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't affect him no matter what, it doesn't matter how turbulent the turmoil is, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, Long Teng still sits firmly Top spot!

Therefore, after seeing the news that big groups, big companies, and big capitals announced their entry into the Internet literary world one after another, he stopped paying too much attention.

"Chun Gang, there is news from Maple Leaf Animation that the first draft of Ghost Chuideng's manga has been basically completed, and a few pictures of the characters and the first draft of Chapter 1 have been sent. What they mean is that they want to let Please take a look and tell them if there is anything wrong."

"It will take a while to finalize the draft over there, so you can read this matter if you have time, and it doesn't matter if you don't read it."

Li Chungang is currently coding, and a message pops up. Normally, when he enters the working state of coding, social software such as WeChat and Koukou will switch to the Do Not Disturb mode. The information that pops up can only be set on the list of special attention friends.

It wasn't Natto who sent him the message, but Keren, a full-time copyright editor of the Platinum Group, who was newly added some time ago. His duty in the group is to be responsible for all matters related to the copyright of the works for the Platinum authors.According to Natto's words, she is now a group leader, and she has to "manage a lot of machines" to deal with various things every day. Naturally, things like copyright are shared with other people in the group.

The interval was less than a few minutes, and then two compressed files were sent over, one is the human design map and the other is the first draft of Chapter 1, which is separated to avoid confusion by Li Chungang.

"uh-huh!?"

Although Li Chungang also needs to focus when coding, it is more of a need for the state, not like the general author who is afraid of being disturbed by others, so there is nothing to worry about, just send the other party over Download the file and browse it...

To be honest, even from his critical point of view, the level of the artist responsible for the animation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" must be at the top level in the industry. Animation can invite master characters to play.

The overall painting style presents a rigorous style, and the general context and direction of the story are close to the original content of the ghost blowing lamp. Generally speaking, it is acceptable, but if it is changed by him to adapt it into an anime, he will definitely not be so conservative. Yes, it must be more bold and unrestrained in the handling of some details.

In the end, I was a little dissatisfied with the image setting of individual characters in the book, which somewhat deviated from the flavor of the original.

In his own book, he knows better than anyone else how the characters in the book are presented by one person!

In fact, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is Li Chungang's first work. After he unlocked the painting skills, he never forgot the idea of ​​using it as a trial work, and he has already completed the role setting of the work uploaded to the background of the author of Longteng. in.

If the person in charge of Maple Leaf Animation's adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a manga is smart enough, what kind of bicycle is needed? .However, they also have the consideration of keeping the overall style consistent, and maybe the painters they take over are not willing to do this kind of thing.
