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

He opened his eyes and found that the invigilator was standing in front of him, "Student Li Chungang, are you still planning to hand in the paper?"

"what?"

"Didn't you notice that your classmates handed in their papers 10 minutes early and left to catch up with the next exam? You are the only one left in the whole classroom, hand in your papers?"

"Pay it, of course, teacher, you can just take it away."

Li Chungang looked around, never expecting that he was really the only one left in the huge classroom, and the students handed in papers and left one after another while he was staring at the interface in the Literary Encyclopedia system in a daze!

"These unscrupulous guys don't make a little noise to remind me when they slip away. Fortunately, the invigilator knows to remind me in advance!"

In fact, Li Chungang's professionalism is really not strong. He has a more Buddhist mentality. Now he is already thinking about closing his pen before he graduates from university.

It is estimated that after graduating from school in two years, I will definitely not be as diligent as I am now. It is impossible to spend most of my free time on writing books.

Just like many singers and actors, when they first debuted, new songs and new albums are released almost every year, but after becoming famous, there may be no new albums for several years, making fans wait hard. The most representative character may be a certain week There are singers with the name Dong. Before they became famous, they wrote their own songs and released their own albums. They had them every year, but after they became famous...

The focus began to shift from career to family, and he also created a travel variety show of his own.

The works in the Literary Encyclopedia system have never appeared in my own world, but when the manpower is limited, the power of one person is even more limited. Li Chungang never thought that he could carry all the content by himself. That's obviously nonsense.

While lowering his head and rushing towards the examination room of the next exam, he continued to think about his own affairs in a serious manner.

It seems that it is not an option to continue writing books continuously like now, but on the other hand, it is too unreasonable to be too salty to write a book in a year. You have to find a balance point in the middle!

It's a pity that the Literary Encyclopedia system does not have a function such as a time stagnation space, otherwise you can enjoy the convenience and prosperity of the big city while enjoying the vast natural scenery of New Zealand.

"By the way, Universal Pictures should be starting preparations for the Lord of the Rings movie. I almost forgot about buying land in New Zealand."

After signing the contract, Evans quickly flew back to Los Angeles to quickly prepare for the filming. Now Universal Pictures has not yet reached an agreement on the issue of filming.

Whether it is to shoot separately or to shoot all three together, no matter which plan it is, it seems to have a certain degree of operability.

The staff of the project review team are working hard on cost budgeting.

This kind of film that involves hundreds of millions of dollars in shooting costs requires more time to prepare, and the problems to be dealt with are infinitely more complicated than those of low-cost films!

How to reduce the cost as much as possible while ensuring the quality of the film?

Tax rebates have become a very important point.

Fortunately, for the Hollywood film and television giants, they must be clearer about tax rebates, tax cuts, and government support than Li Chungang, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

After people's positions are different, the opportunities to make money around them are also different.

Just like he is now, if he really wants to make money, he can get soft hands in advertising endorsements, and attending commercial ribbon-cutting or lectures or events can make his throat hoarse.

Chapter 603 The Great News

Great news: Li Chungang is on summer vacation! ! !

You read that right, for readers, Li Chungang’s summer vacation is really great news, because it will mean that he has more time to devote to writing every day, and summer vacation means that some readers like "Full-time" Master" will usher in a high-speed train leading to the end.

And the long-awaited "Lord of the Mysteries" will come out without accident.

"Miao Miao, I have started my summer vacation." After returning home, he immediately reported the good news to He Miao about the summer vacation.

"Ah."

"Then your manuscript is ready?"

"It can support at least two months of depositing manuscripts, that's all right!"

"Then what are we waiting for, let's start the summer vacation plan!?"

"let's go!"

For this summer vacation plan, Li Chungang and He Miao have already started planning ahead of time before the exam week. This vacation plan is combined with his next "work schedule"...

For example, Random House and Universal Pictures invited Li Chungang to go to the United States to participate in the recording of the Allen Show. The total broadcast content may be less than 10 minutes, but the director of the Allen Show happened to be full of mystery and love for such a show. The topical young oriental writers are very interested. Before that, they invited all kinds of stars and celebrities. This time it is good to have a fresh face. Maybe it will be Li Chungang's first foreign variety show!

So Ai Lunxiu contacted Random House and tried his best to invite Li Chungang to go to the United States to participate in their program recording. As for the recording date, there was no special requirement, because after Random House contacted Wen Siquanyong, the company also sent Tell the truth about the specific situation. For example, I have been busy with my studies recently and just have to take exams. In the end, this time had to be postponed until after the summer vacation.

Now Li Chungang is not an unknown person. His "Lord of the Rings" has dominated the New York Times bestseller list for many weeks. It seems that he has no intention of giving up his position in the short term. The news of obtaining the film copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is indeed a big gimmick.

The Allen show can be said to be a work schedule. In addition, Li Chungang planned to fly to New Zealand for vacation with He Miao after the exam.

The reason why I choose New Zealand as a tourist destination is actually a small calculation in my heart, Xiao Jiujiu——

Going to New Zealand to buy the best filming location of the "Lord of the Rings" movie first, this may be regarded as an obsession!

It can be said that every fan of the Lord of the Rings probably has a similar obsession, that is, to make a Hobbiton and Bag End.

It's the same reason why many people like to play with toys like "models", but compared to others who can only buy some scaled-down models, his approach may be a little more exaggerated and buy directly at a 1:1 ratio.

For Li Chungang, relying on prophetic news to make money is secondary, and more about feelings.

Silently keeping this idea in his heart, he pondered that the filming location in another plane, Earth, was placed in New Zealand, but it might be different if he changed his own plane, so at least he had to go first. New Zealand walked around the field before we could determine the place.

It is obviously impossible for him to be like an old man in history. He just drew a circle on the map and decided to buy it. He has to go and check the scene again and again.

After the tour is confirmed, you can take some photos on the spot and send them to the producer Evans. If Universal Pictures has not found a suitable shooting location by then, you can recommend these places to the other party.

The "Lord of the Rings" movie is a classic, and the scenery that resembles the world of Middle-earth is also of great help in it. Any ultra-clear screenshot can be used as a desktop background.

Migratory birds: Refers to birds that migrate periodically with different seasons.

Li Chungang found that his behavior of running between Yanjing and Shanghai was in some sense similar to the migratory behavior of migratory birds.

The first thing to do after coming to Shanghai is nothing else, it must be to bring the seedlings to visit the home of the father-in-law and mother-in-law.

No matter how you say it, I have "abducted" her precious daughter to Yanjing and haven't seen her for such a long time. In addition, He Miao is the only seedling of the He family. Returning to Shanghai is equivalent to returning to her mother's family. Whoops, that's no longer called heartless, but really unreasonable!

It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the happier she becomes.

Every time he visited He's house, He Miao's parents treated him so well that Li Chungang had the illusion that he was his own son.

When I went, my hands were full of gifts, and when I left, my stomach was full of food.

I know everything!

After a good rest and a day or two of "fat house" life.

After arriving near Wensiquanyong Company, Li Chungang walked around a lot before finding a parking space nearby. It is really hard to find a parking space after every household has a car these days.

"Next time, just take a taxi or ask someone from the company to pick me up. It's too troublesome to drive here and park!"

He couldn't help complaining in his heart, fortunately he came early, otherwise the delay would have been so long, and the company's employees would have almost left work.

Lin Meng smiled and said: "I said that the company specially hired a bodyguard and driver for you. You don't need it yourself, which makes Zhong Guo very worried every day. He feels that he is on the verge of being laid off at any time."

"It's nothing else. I don't want others to be with me. I have a little space for solitude. Besides, I'm a college student who either goes to class or goes to class every day. It's easy for people to gossip if I want a bodyguard and driver at school." Li Chungang explained , "Brother Zhong is still very good at driving. Let him follow me when I come to Shanghai. I don't need it in Yanjing for the time being. Just let him relax. After I graduate, he will be stable."

Young people are like this. They are willing to touch the steering wheel when they have a car, unless it is a boring highway for a few hours.

Liu Siqian looked at the two people who were chatting happily, and she said, "Mr. Li, you came just in time. Mr. Huang from Maple Leaf Comics has already brought over their report from last month, and Mr. Huang just went to the bathroom. "

While speaking, Ge Hongwei with a handsome face walked over like a walking Maitreya Buddha.

Li Chungang was very surprised. The last time I saw him at the annual meeting, he hadn't swollen to this extent. Why did he swell so much in only half a year? Could it be that he ate well and slept well after becoming the head of the artist department? ?

"Hi boss, you look more and more handsome, just now I thought it was some celebrity who came to the company and wanted to invite him to develop under our banner!"

As soon as Ge Hongwei said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Sit down, sit down, everyone sit down, don't stand still." Although Li Chungang is the boss, he rarely manages the company's affairs, so he asked directly: "Old Ge, what's the matter with you?"

"Boss, I'm here to complain to you. It's too difficult for our artist department to carry out work. Those first- and second-tier stars and idols who have already established a foundation and fame almost look down on our company's resources. Even if you name your boss, it’s not easy to use, so far, there are only three artists in the big artist department, and all of them signed contracts with the company because of you, the boss. Do you think I’m suffering..."

"I can understand what you said. Why should people choose our company when there is no shortage of resources, but I think you can lower your gaze a little bit and try to dig out fourth- and fifth-tier companies. It doesn't matter. As long as the reputation is good, It's not the kind of celebrity artist with bad records, I have the confidence to make it famous!"

Li Chungang was a little puzzled, why did he ask himself to come here just for this trivial matter?

Isn't it obvious that the company will run into obstacles and encounter difficulties when it first enters the entertainment industry? Even he dare not directly set his sights on the famous first- and second-tier stars when he comes up. There is no reason why Ge Hongwei can't see such a simple truth , If you can see it, then the complaint in the previous paragraph is probably just laying the groundwork for the next content.

Liu Siqian also didn't understand, but as Lin Meng's secretary, she had to choose silence at this time and let the leaders communicate.

Ge Hongwei spread his hands and said, "What I mean is that our company has almost no foundation in the entertainment industry. Paying such a high price to sign some third- and fourth-tier celebrity artists is not worth the loss. My plan is to catch up with this time. In the graduation season of college students, we will directly select newcomers from the amateurs who have graduated from majors to become popular step by step, but my idea needs the support of the two bosses!"

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Wensi Quanyong Company has a high reputation both inside and outside the circle because of Li Chungang's "Optimus Prime", it is still unable to impress some stars with this.

Don’t you see that most of the stars will not hesitate to choose to jump out of the contract and build a team to build a studio of their own after the fame and strength have accumulated to a certain level, perhaps after the contract with the company expires, just like Li Chungang and Luo Luo? Wen signed a literary agency and then started his own personal studio step by step to the current Wensi Quanyong Company.

Not everyone settles for mediocrity.

Especially for celebrity artists who survive in the turbulent place of the entertainment industry, it is impossible to become a first- and second-tier status without the ambition to pursue upwards!

At present, the domestic album market is getting more and more sluggish. Many fans choose to pay to listen to one or two songs they like on online music platforms, instead of buying the entire album together.

In terms of music, the company has an old tree sprouting new buds, Xu Jie, which is not bad. At least recently, because of the two songs "Retrograde" and "I Have a Sword", he has become active in the domestic music circle, and has also received many large and small variety shows. Invited flying guests, everything is going in a good direction.

And the only two celebrity artists Miao Zi: Feng Yuxiu and Mi Yaxin After the TV series "Sword Come" of the same name continued to be popular on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV and iQiyi, it can be regarded as a very good experience of a big hit. Celebrity treatment, as long as the two of them don't commit some deadly actions by themselves, they are already better than countless contemporaries who rely on the company's resources.

After finishing the filming of "The Sword Comes", Lin Meng has already put the two of them into several online dramas invested by the company to play some roles, even if it is not male, female, or male. The second-class female lead is an important starring role, but for the two who were born in majors but lack practical experience, this is the most rare opportunity to hone their acting skills.

In private, I heard Lin Meng mention that the company is working on public relations to recommend the two of them to an acting variety show "I'm Really an Actor" that is also launched by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. In the program, all the highly respected mentors in China and superstars above the first line are invited as mentors.

If the show can really be put into operation, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for the two of them to improve.

After thinking about Ge Hongwei's thoughts thoroughly, Li Chungang smiled. He glanced at Lin Meng who had been sitting by the side without saying a word, and then said: "I personally support you in wanting to choose from among the fresh graduates of the major. Miao Zi has this idea, but the premise is that you have to come up with a feasible plan, otherwise I think it is impossible for Mr. Lin to pass it here.

And I don’t know, Minister Ge, have you considered a problem? The company hasn’t even established its own team of scouts. Why do you think there are any good left among the fresh graduates selected by major domestic film and television companies? seedling?Or let me put it another way, where do you have the confidence to find those hidden gems by yourself! ? "

Just like there are so-called scouts in the basketball and football circles, there are also such a group of guys called "scouts" in the entertainment industry.

These people spend most of their time wandering around well-known universities such as China National Opera, China Media, and Shanghai Opera to discover good star talent seedlings, and then recommend them to the companies behind them for cultivation.

Li Chungang will never underestimate these giant film and television companies in the domestic entertainment industry, especially their very mature talent scout team and amateur discovery and training mechanism. within reach.

Wen Siquanyong is relying on Li Chungang, and can get a huge amount of profit every year. In addition to his boss who can withdraw billions of deposits at any time, it can be said that there is no shortage of cash flow!

The most lacking thing is time, besides time!

Lin Meng is absolutely excellent in terms of management ability and ability to deal with business affairs, but don't forget that she is only a young man under 26. People of the same age are probably still working and studying to accumulate experience at this time. He is already the general manager of a large company.

It is undeniable that he is still lacking in experience, and rushing into such a completely unfamiliar field as the entertainment industry is a great test for him.

Wanting to form your own scouting team is not something that can be done simply by opening your mouth and closing your mouth. There are too many aspects that need to be fully considered.

Of course, saying such harsh words that seem to attack Ge Hongwei does not mean that Li Chungang disagrees with the other party's idea, on the contrary, he personally agrees with it very much.

It is not without examples of "relics from the sea" in the entertainment circle, and even "myths" of grassroots tricks reaching the sky in one step.

Just choosing to do it, no matter what the outcome, is better than doing nothing!

"In this way, Minister Ge, you first prepare a plan and give it to Mr. Lin. As long as she approves it, I have no problem here. The company will cooperate with you if you want money."

"Okay! I can put the plan on Mr. Lin's desk tomorrow."

It's a bit like a long drought and sweet dew. It's been a long time since a reader has tipped a preserved egg!

Chapter 604 "Sister"

After Ge Hongwei received a definite answer from Li Chungang.

Conscious that he had accomplished the set goal, he did not continue to stay in Lin Meng's office to hinder the conversation, but simply found a reason and resigned directly.

"Tell me about the Ellen show? Does it have to be recorded in Los Angeles, the United States? I just finished my exam and I'm planning to fly to New Zealand with Miaomiao for a vacation in a few days. of."

Needless to say, the close girlfriend relationship between He Miao and Lin Meng.

Lin Meng obviously knew about the arrangement between the two of them a long time ago, so he explained: "The Allen Show has a great influence in the United States, and being on this show is very helpful for you to expand your reputation and influence abroad, and It will also be good for your future book sales and movie box office. Random House wants you to spend as much time as possible to promote it, and that guy Thompson has been talking to me for a long time."

"How about this, our New Zealand vacation plan is still the same, but I flew from New Zealand to Los Angeles, the United States one day in advance, finished recording the Ellen Show, and then helped Random House to do a simple on-site signing event before considering returning home, you How about this arrangement?"

Now that he has chosen this path, he has to take action. This is an important channel for him to expand his popularity in Europe, America and other regions.

If you want to win a lot of awards, then popularity and continuous exposure are essential, so these opportunities to show up should not be missed, otherwise the awards will not fall from the sky and be awarded to an unknown unknown!

Any award requires public relations. On the surface, it seems to be something for nothing, but in fact, many people are silently contributing behind the scenes.

The most important thing is that for an international award, the biggest barrier is to enter the shortlist in the first step. This requires someone to recommend you, just like the Nobel Prize requires a recommendation system. You have no reputation, no popularity, Even a ghost doesn't know you, why do you think people should recommend you or your works to major awards?

With your big face! ?

Lin Meng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Li Chungang would refuse this kind of event that required publicity and was more like a catwalk without hesitation as before.
