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

What many people don't know is that...

Zhihu Surprise, Tieba Funny, Weibo Dog Head, WeChat Smile, collectively referred to as the four-piece set with special meaning.

Weibo also paid close attention to Li Chungang's performance in the finals. After all, Hong Lengshuang, the director of the literature section, was the one who called for signing in front of all the editors in the entire department. In addition, the Seven Star Literature Cup had a special relationship with him. There is a cooperative relationship, if Li Chungang can win the championship in one fell swoop in this final.

Not to mention anything else, at least it proves that Hong Lengshuang is very accurate in seeing people!

As a result, the Weibo literature section witnessed Li Chungang's strong overtake, as always, showing everyone his dominance and amazing talent in short stories!

Although the road to the top of "A Bowl of Clear Soup Yangchun Noodles" was a bit tortuous, Li Chungang didn't feel that there was anything to be wronged. He limited the theme of the final to "warmth", and he already had a steelyard in his heart , choosing this short story itself is tantamount to choosing a risk.

Compared with short stories such as "The Necklace" and "The Gift of the Magi" that end with twists and turns, this kind of warm short film really cannot touch the hearts of readers in the first place.

To say what surprised Li Chungang the most is that he didn't expect that he would have so many black fans on the Internet...

So much so that I just suffered a little "problem" in the performance of my work, and I was attacked by these black fans!But not being envied by others is a mediocrity, and he is not a soft girl. Naturally, it is impossible to make everyone like him, and this is not something that is unacceptable.

Due to the influence of different times and backgrounds, many excellent short stories may not be able to achieve corresponding results, which is quite normal.

Others read Li Chungang’s modified "A Bowl of Clear Soup Yangchun Noodles", but what he himself saw was the pure and authentic version of "A Bowl of Clear Soba Soba", which should belong to an earlier era from the background story Well, readers of that era probably weren't poisoned by so many chicken soup novels, so that this short story quickly became a god after it was published.

Of course, he is very satisfied with the result now!

Next, we will wait for the organizer of the Seven Star Literature Cup tomorrow morning to count the number of readers' likes for the works of all the contestants in the final, and then announce the final result to the public, and hold a simple but cumbersome awards ceremony.

It's simple because before and after, a crystal trophy was awarded to the three contestants in the championship and Asia season.

It was cumbersome because there were a little too many people and leaders to speak, and even according to the advance disclosure of the competition party, they invited a senior in the literary world to present awards for them tomorrow morning, who is still being kept secret.

This so-called well-known senior in the literary world may have some expectations for others, but for Li Chungang, it's not that he is arrogant, but that he is completely qualified and doesn't care about it personally. Now he is full of thoughts. Tomorrow, after quickly receiving the award, I will make a special trip to Shanghai to pick up Miao Miao, and then return to Yanjing together to continue living the "little life".

When Li Chungang talked to He Miao about what happened to him in the final two days, He Miao smiled and replied:

"No matter how perfect a person is, there will always be sunspots. There will always be some people who will have inexplicable hostility towards those who are better than themselves. Internet writers like us are a little bit better. They always rely on 'craftsmanship' to make a living. Eat. If you have an in-depth understanding of the entertainment industry and the profession of an artist, it is really cruel. Let alone a slight mistake, it will be treated with a magnifying glass to the maximum. You pick out a little flaw to slander you, anyway, just treat it with a normal heart, don't care about what those black powder trolls say, it's meaningless!"

Ok.

After what He Miao said, Li Chungang really didn't get too entangled in this matter.

One end was chatting with He Miao, and the other end was still discussing work matters with Lin Meng, especially company matters: "How is the filming of "Sword Come" going?"

"The progress is far smoother than expected. I can only say that it is really worth the money for our crew to find Brother Hu to play the role. With his leading role, the efficiency of the entire crew is visible to the naked eye."

After listening to Lin Meng's words, Li Chungang heaved a sigh of relief. He is good as a hands-off shopkeeper, but he is not so big that he doesn't care about some major issues of the company. It should be called heartless.

Lin Meng suddenly talked about another topic: "Have you read the list of investment online dramas I sent you to watch? These are all popular online dramas that the company has collected recently that are worth investing in, whether it is from the cast or the popularity of the original works." TV dramas, but I think you have more experience with online novels than me."

Just last month, a web drama "Crazy Animal Bureau" was officially broadcast on major video sites. Once it was broadcast, the click-through rate and playback rate skyrocketed.It is reported that the overall investment of this web drama is only more than 600 million yuan, even if there is an excess, it will never exceed 2000 million yuan. However, after a month of broadcasting and fermentation, now it is just a click to cooperate with major video sites The income from playing share has already far exceeded this investment amount.

Every subsequent episode is tantamount to pure profit!

What's more, in addition to the share of revenue from the click-to-play rate of TV dramas, there are also major revenues such as advertisements.Professional industry insiders estimate that the final income of this small-investment online drama will be in the range of 1.2-1.5 million, and the net profit will be more than [-] million at least. By the way, it also has popular intangible resources such as new actors and directors. , Generally speaking, the entertainment company that filmed this web drama made a lot of money.

Good investment projects will never lack investors!

Opportunities are always fleeting. In the list that Lin Meng sent to Li Chungang, there are a total of three online drama investment projects, produced and filmed by different entertainment companies, and the investment shares accepted are also different.This list was sent to him a little before get off work the day before yesterday, but the plane that rushed to Qiongzhou didn't have time to study it carefully.

Then today I participated in the Seven Star Literature Cup finals all day, and I haven't spared time to study.

"When the awarding of the Seven Star Literature Cup here is over tomorrow, I will immediately take the time to study the list you sent me. I will stop by to Shanghai when I come out for an interview. alright."

"Okay, then it's settled. If it takes too long, I'm afraid they've already found the employer."

"Surely don't delay, I'll watch it as soon as I get on the plane tomorrow!"

Li Chungang was ashamed. With the current popularity of online dramas, if it is really an online drama that has the potential to become a big hit, it really does not lack capital investment.

Chapter 450 Choose Two From Five

"I declare: No. The winner of the 17th Seven-Star Literature Cup is—"

"Li Chungang!!!"

The host invited by the event organizer was on top to complete his work with all his might, but the contestants in the audience clapped calmly one by one.Because of this result, they basically knew the result late last night, especially after Li Chungang made a strong comeback due to the personal roll call of the CCTV news broadcast, the suspense about the candidate for the championship basically lost.

Coupled with Qiu Ziyu's number of likes from readers far exceeding No.3, there is nothing to think about even being a runner-up.

Just as these finalists thought in their hearts on the first day of the finals, the remaining eight of them seemed to come to accompany the prince to study, and what so many people fought so hard for was nothing more than a tasteless food and a pity to discard it. No.3 runner-up.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

No matter how unimportant and unappreciated the third runner-up is, it is No. 3 among so many college students who participated in the competition in the country, so I can only comfort myself like this.

Next, apart from an extremely simple awards ceremony and a final family photo of all contestants + event organizer staff + leaders + award presenters, the rest of the speeches of the leaders and guests were the same as the first day of the finals. difference.

Others don't know, but for Li Chungang: The No.17 Seven Star Literature Cup has come to a successful conclusion here!

There is one thing to say, this kind of official competition is definitely impossible to be surprised in terms of monetary rewards, but the organizers of the competition are also intentional. If they can't work hard on the prize money, they should spend their time on the trophies and be transparent on all sides. The whole crystal is printed with small characters such as No.17 Seven Star Literature Cup Champion in gold-plated fonts. Finally, as the champion winner, "Li Chungang" occupies most of the area on the other side.

Li Chungang, who got the trophy, couldn't help but touch the gold-plated font on the trophy with his hand. It can be seen that the trophy should have been made in advance. In this way, the organizer of the event should be the same as most people at the beginning. I am optimistic that he will win the championship smoothly, otherwise where to make such an exquisite championship trophy in a hurry.

And according to what the person in charge of the competition told him:

"This is a personal honor trophy for the three runners-up of your champion, runner-up and third runner-up. In the future, our competition party will also have a large-scale custom-made honor trophy delivered directly to the school you are studying for use in the trophy showroom of the school. Put it on!"

That's a good feeling!

When the trophy is delivered to the school, these contestants will have both face and face.

Even Li Chungang, who won the championship, couldn't help but smile when he heard the news. He recalled the bold words he made in front of the director of Tsinghua's Admissions Office after the college entrance examination, saying that he would create his own legend in Tsinghua. Now, the champion of the Seven-Star Literature Cup The trophy was sent from the hands of Yenching University to the college, which can be regarded as a good explanation for the school.

The honor showroom of other people's colleges: it is full of trophies, large and small, from various competitions.

The honor showroom of Tsinghua University's School of Liberal Arts: There are several innocuous competition trophies displayed in three or two kittens.

This is the gap and background!

—

"1. "Cohabitation Life with a Stewardess""

"2. "Why Sheng Xiao Mo""

"3. "Speechless""

"4. "Across Time to See You""

"5. "A Slight Smile is Ecstasy""

In the first-class cabin of the flight from Qiongzhou to Shanghai, after Li Chungang adjusted the seat to the most comfortable angle and lay down, he took out the tablet he carried with him and opened the investment list of online dramas sent to him by Lin Meng to study.

It is definitely impossible to tell anything from the list alone. The careful Lin Meng has prepared the detailed information and situation of these five online dramas for him in advance, including the general content and links of the original works, and the project's willingness to accept investment. The amount and share ratio, the director and actors prepared by the crew, the script adapted from the web novel, etc...

There is even a simple market research report. Most of these data come from the submissions of online readers. It has certain reference value but cannot be trusted!

As an online writer, Li Chungang skipped those things that are too professional just at a glance. The company needs to talk to the other party about how much money he accepts and how much he should pay attention to. However, what really needs to be studied carefully is the script adapted from the original work.

He himself writes scripts, and he knows very well that the most important point of judging whether a web drama can attract audiences is the script. Fortunately, he is good at scripts!

As the company’s first investment in a web drama project, first of all it must not be a large-cost production. Judging from this point alone, the total investment is estimated to be 7000-8000 million yuan. The first object to be excluded.

The second one to be excluded is "Speechless". The screenwriter who adapted the script is a bit too literary. The web drama produced by such a script is just like watching a literary film. It is not painful, not salty, not salty Indifferent, there is a high probability that it will not be liked and sought after by the audience.

In the remaining three web dramas...

To be honest from the bottom of my heart, Li Chungang thinks this script is very good, and the main locations of the story are all in the city, there is no need to use special effects to burn money, the cost is in the range of 2000-4000 million, and investment is required Most of the amount is around 1000-2000 million, which can be used as the object of their company's first joint venture.

Even if you encounter Waterloo due to lack of experience for the first time, even if you lose 2000 million yuan, it is not a big deal.

The only one is the fourth "Across Time to See You".

After he read the entire script, he found that the main story line of this novel was a bit too much for shooting a TV series, and a lot of content gave people a suspicion of insisting on the length and duration of the film, even for the whole story. It is to the extent that it will not be affected by skipping it without looking at it, which also gave him a feeling——

Rather than filming it as a TV series, it would be better to condense and refine the script, making it more suitable for a big-screen movie!

Especially the love between the hero and heroine in the story, it is conceivable that if it is actually put on the big screen, it will definitely detonate the tear glands of countless moviegoers.

For the last remaining "Cohabitation Life with a Stewardess" and "Why Shengxiaomo", Li Chungang said that he really couldn't judge the superiority, or that these two online dramas gave him the same level no matter in terms of the storyline or the excellence of the script. A very worthwhile investment.

If so, what else needs to be considered?

Children only make choices, adults want them all!

Anyway, the two web dramas are not particularly expensive to produce. For Wensi Quanyong, even if they invest in two web dramas at the same time, even if they face the situation of losing money on both web dramas, it will not have much impact. That being the case, simply invest in both of them at the same time!

Chapter 451 New Year's Day Holiday

"This is the first time this year. There is nothing I can do about being handsome."

After once again rejecting the first-class flight attendant's request to hide her request to add WeChat friends, Li Chungang couldn't help secretly happy in his heart, of course it was limited to this, he didn't want to be a "master of time management", as long as there is a seedling Totally enough.

After reading all the list of upcoming online dramas sent by Lin Meng, and using the tablet to write down his personal opinions, Li Chungang covered himself with a thin blanket and closed his eyes to rest.

In the past few days, I have been traveling back and forth from north to south and from south to north to take planes, and I have to concentrate on participating in the Seven Star Literature Cup finals. In my spare time, I have to deal with some leaders and seniors. The good ones have to be slandered by the black fans on the Internet. Both physically and mentally, they are already exhausted. For him, although the plane is not as comfortable as his own bed, it is a rare opportunity to rest his mind.

……

When I opened my eyes again, the plane had already arrived in Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient, from Qiongzhou in the south of the country.

In addition to He Miao, Lin Meng, who was driving, came to pick him up.

To make a digression, some time ago, the house that my senior sister Lin Meng originally rented could not be renewed due to some unexpected circumstances. After this news was learned by He Miao, she asked Li Chungang if there was any good place to recommend. Fortunately, it is close enough to the current company, so I don’t have to be stuck on the road every day when I commute to work.

1. Reliable. 2. Good place. 3. Close enough to the company.

When Li Chungang heard these three key words, the first thing he thought of was the villa he bought on the Bund in Shanghai, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Shanghai villas are good and close to the company, if you don't mind Just let Lin Meng move in."

This is a manifestation of the body's reaction speed faster than the brain's thinking speed.

Because as soon as he said the words, he already started to feel regretful, because such words can be said casually, it is simply a direct expression of the steel straight man giving a proposition, saying in front of his girlfriend, fiancée, and wife to let another When a woman lives in the house, she must be a young and beautiful woman who is still single. Tell me, this is not a sand sculpture.

What I didn't expect was...

He Miao not only didn't mind, but also quickly agreed: "I don't mind, then it's settled! Anyway, we spend most of the time in Yanjing, it's a pity that the villa in Shanghai is empty, Mengmeng is a single It’s also safer for girls to live there.”

"and many more!"

Li Chungang wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing, so he quickly asked with some doubts: "If I heard correctly, is the Meng Meng you called just now the same person as the Lin Meng I mentioned?"

"Yeah~ Is there something wrong?"

"Yes! No, no, no, when did you and Lin Meng become so good?" This was the point that puzzled him the most. It was certain that the two of them had never known each other before.

He Miao glanced at Li Chungang with a look of "you are making a fuss", and said very calmly: "When I signed with your company before, I added a WeChat friend to each other, and then chatted and chatted back and forth, so I became good girlfriends. .”

"Good girlfriends are so...casual."

Although Lin Meng refused repeatedly when he received the invitation from He Miao, after He Miao took her to experience the feeling of living in a big villa by the Bund, he packed his luggage and left the hotel without hesitation the next day. Moving in, of course, is the kind to pay the rent.

Then Li Chungang had Lin Meng as a tenant in his villa in Shanghai.

So there was the scene of Lin Meng driving He Miao to pick up the plane today. It wasn't that He Miao didn't have a car in Shanghai, but that her car had already been parked at home for her father's daily use when she left Shanghai. This time When I returned to Shanghai, I didn't think about staying for a long time, so I didn't intend to drive back.

"What's next for today?"

Back at the villa, He Miao was chewing on crab roe buns, with one in his chopsticks, and asked everyone.Well, the eyes are mainly on Li Chungang.

Li Chungang raised his head from a table of dishes, and the eyes of the two met in the air. With a quick mind, he quickly understood the meaning revealed in He Miao's eyes, and quickly shook his head: "Anyway, I can do it. Now that the school is open and upright, you can relax for a few days during the holidays and play until the end of the New Year's Day holiday. You are free during the day, but at night..."

"I guess you don't have that time. If I remember correctly, your new book "Global Recovery" should be officially released on New Year's Day the day after tomorrow. Have you saved the manuscript yet?"

"We are still good friends without mentioning the manuscript!"

He Miao curled her lips, hmph, the straight man of steel is really hopeless!

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are all New Year’s Day holidays. Is it possible to stay at home and code?

She doesn't need to go to work like Lin Meng, and she doesn't need to go to class like Li Chungang. Except for going out occasionally to date and go shopping with her girlfriends, she stays at home most of the time, "eye-to-eye" with the computer screen. She has been in this house for a long time , I feel a little bored to some extent, and I want to go out to play even more when I have someone to accompany me.

Lin Meng swallowed the last crab roe bun in her mouth, and ate the rice in the bowl. She felt a slight sense of fullness in her stomach, and she couldn't help stretching slightly after the meal. The part in front of my body was immediately stretched tightly, outlining a beautiful line: "It's a rare New Year's Day holiday, I still want to sleep at home for a while, so I won't go out to be a shining light bulb, and you, my junior I have taken the time to read the personal opinions sent over, and the results discussed by the company’s planning department are roughly the same. If there are no problems, we will invest in the first two online dramas.

On the contrary, I am a little curious about your opinion on "Meet You Through Time".Where did you see that this web drama is more suitable to be made into a movie than a web drama? "

"personal experience!"

Don't ask, the question is the judgment after writing online novels for so long and the only two experience of adapting scripts, plus the personal understanding after unlocking the screenwriting skills series, of course, these reasons cannot be told to Lin Meng In the end, Li Chungang had no choice but to attribute it to personal experience.

"I have to say, I re-read the script of this web drama according to your idea. If it is condensed into a movie of about 130 minutes, the plot will actually be more attractive, especially when the male protagonist travels through the timeline several times. Just to be able to save the heroine, but the heroine forgets the hero because of this, and finally remembers again at the end, overall it is a very good tear-jerking emotional movie."
