Chapter 601 - big news
“What if the system forces me to copy books(!
“Is your book really going to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster? Someone said on the Internet that the person you said you were going to blind date for the work was the producer of Universal Pictures?”
Just like the love of beauty, everyone has the heart of gossip.
Students in top universities will pay attention to these entertainment news in addition to their heavy studies, not to mention that one of the protagonists of the news is by their side!
Faced with the question from his classmates, Li Chungang readily admitted: “There is such a thing, and now I just have the idea of cooperating with the other party. You don’t have to be too happy, maybe after we all graduate. Didn’t get to see the movie officially open.”
It may be better to say something about a movie with a small production cost, but a big IP and a big production such as “The Lord of the Rings” that are destined to be made into a series of movies and are valued by both sides, it is not easy to complete the shooting, just The selection and construction of the shooting location is a huge and time-consuming project.
“Isn’t it? We are only in the second year of sophomore year, and we still have two full years to graduate. How slow is the filming!” The classmate who asked the question just now couldn’t help but asked in surprise.
The other students sitting around had the same expressions, and they didn’t believe it at all.
“What Hollywood movie takes so long to make?”
“I know it has to be carefully crafted, isn’t two years enough?”
“A good movie should take more time to prepare.”
Li Chungang patted the other party’s shoulder and said, “Didn’t you say before that you plan to go to the United States to study for the test after graduation? If you were in the United States at that time, don’t forget to call on your classmates to go to the cinema together to support the box office, if the box office can sell well You can still brag to your classmates and brag that you know the original author of the movie, which is a lot of face.”
He himself does not plan to continue his studies after graduating from university, and the classmates in these classes have their own ideas. Some want to go to the United States to continue their studies, some want to study in Tsinghua University, and some want to go to other schools. communicative.
Lu Liang is already preparing for the TOEFL and IELTS exams. It doesn’t seem to be difficult at present, at least it can’t be difficult for our top students from Tsinghua University.
“The Lord of the Rings” has only negotiated the film copyright cooperation initially. Before that, Evans did take a script that was temporarily rushed out, but to be honest, there are many things in it that are not well set up, and it looks more like a shoddy work. Semi-finished product!
Universal Pictures now has to rewrite the script based on what’s in the book.
Not every director dares to take on such a big production. If a film of this level does not perform well at the box office, it can be said that the director should be responsible, and maybe it will completely miss the big production in the future.
There is no director, no script, no actors, unknown filming methods, and the preparatory team has not yet pulled up. It takes a year and a half for the film to be filmed, and then to do special effects and publicize it. Two years is really not enough!
And according to one of the conditions that Wen Siquan Yong negotiated with Universal Pictures:
The movie script of “The Lord of the Rings” will be completed by Li Chungang himself, and Universal Pictures also has the right to review and agree.
That is to say, Universal Pictures promised to hand over to the author of the work, Li Chungang, to complete the adaptation of the script in person, but after the adaptation of the script is completed, they need to review the script. 1% bonus + $3 million in remuneration.
Fortunately, the preparatory work for the filming of The Lord of the Rings was not at the level of the TV series Sword Cometh. The preparatory work alone would have taken a long time, which also gave him plenty of time to complete the script. adaptation.
One thing to say, this time the adaptation of “The Lord of the Rings”, even the man who has the [system], will feel a little Alexander.
After all, what the system can unlock is only that your theoretical knowledge of script adaptation has reached the master level of the current era, but the actual operation still depends on your personal comprehension and creation.
The only good news is that there is plenty of time. Universal Pictures didn’t even indicate the time when the manuscript needs to be delivered, because even they themselves don’t know how much time it will take to set up and prepare for the project.
Although Lu Liang had some regrets, he actually wanted to go to the cinema with his classmates to watch this movie before graduation, which has a different commemorative significance.
“Although you can’t watch “The Lord of the Rings” in a short period of time, you can still support “The Sword Cometh” that was recently broadcast on iQIYI.”
“Chungang, don’t you know, Lao Lu, this stingy guy, in order to support your sword, he didn’t continue to prostitute our iQiyi VIP for free, but rushed one himself, or the kind you can believe it. !?”
“Go go go ~ Am I being stingy? I call it thrifty!”
“Hahaha.”
“…”
—
The next day.
“Mr. Li, this is the statistics table passed by the “Sword Comes” crew, please take a look.”
Due to the negotiation with Evans, Qi Tong, who was temporarily stranded in Yanjing, visited Li Chungang’s villa in person, and presented a data sheet while reporting the progress of the negotiation with Universal Pictures.
He Miao, who was at home, saw that an outsider came and entered the study with him behind him. He just watched quietly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
“Well, I see.” Li Chungang took the data sheet and looked down.
Good news keeps coming from the “Sword Comes” series. As one of the investors, Li Chungang is naturally very happy.
He asked the company to collect daily data changes. Today happened to be the first week since the TV series “Jianlai” was broadcast on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV. This data is still very meaningful.
While silently looking at the data in hand…
He Miao suddenly interjected: “By the way, why doesn’t the company set up a branch or office in Yanjing?”
In her opinion, Li Chungang is still at least two years away from graduating from school. Although Lin Meng is responsible for all the company’s affairs, most of the time he is in a state of being a shopkeeper, but this does not mean You don’t need to worry about the company.
Instead of going back and forth between Yanjing and Shanghai like this, it is better to set up a branch office in Yanjing.
Now, as for any company with a slightly larger volume in China, which one does not have a branch yet, I can’t say if there are too many, at least in the first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
I have to say that He Miao’s words awakened the dreamer and made Li Chungang really think about the feasibility of opening a branch in Yanjing.
“Minister Qi, do you think it is feasible for the company to open a branch in Yanjing?”
Qi Tong: “…”
Before that, Qi Tong had heard that his own boss was very casual and would often do some behaviors that came out as soon as he wanted to. Before that, he still didn’t believe it, but now he is convinced. Otherwise, who would suddenly want to do this after hearing the suggestion to open a branch.
No way, who made Li Chungang his boss, and he was very satisfied with the job, and had no idea of changing jobs.
So we can only bite the bullet and analyze: “In terms of the current scale of our company, it is quite feasible to open a branch in Yanjing. It’s just the personnel issue that really needs to be considered. The people who are in charge of the overall situation in Beijing also need a large number of employees, and our company is currently in a stage of rapid development, so it is not very suitable to be distracted…”
Inside and outside the words, Qi Tong wanted to express the meaning already very clear.
In simple words, it is no problem if you want to open a branch, as long as you have enough people!
What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century? Of course it’s talent!
After thinking for a while, Li Chungang could only reluctantly accept: “It is true that I am thinking a bit too simplistic. Now the company has just begun to enter the entertainment industry, and it is not even on the right track, and it is still in a state of loss. In this situation It is really not suitable to be distracted to prepare for the opening of a branch office.
At least wait until the company is successfully profitable! My requirements are not high, as long as I can make a profit! “
Emmm, in fact, it’s not that the company really has no profit, but the current profit is not the same as Li Chungang’s requirements.
Needless to say, the main profit point of the company is still entirely on its own. It is not an easy thing to leave a company that big that you want to support. Losing money is a normal thing.
His requirement is that the company can achieve profitability in film and television investment and production. It does not seem to be a problem at present. The results of “Jianlai” have already risen, but it is still early before dividends are distributed.
Other profit points mainly focus on artist commercial performance, endorsement and the development of peripheral products. It’s not much, but it’s no problem to keep the company running.
Li Chungang put down the report in his hand and looked at Qi Tong: “How is the situation of the writers signed by the Ministry of Culture now?”
Qi Tong thought for a while before answering: “With the help of your reputation and connections in the online literary circle, boss, the number of Longteng writers who found our company’s contracted literary agency this year is far more than 130% more than the previous year. It is expected that the first batch of harvest will be ushered in March to April next year!”
Li Chungang fell into contemplation: “The water in the entertainment industry is far deeper than imagined, and the company wants to make a difference in the entertainment industry. In my opinion, there is no other way but to take the road of IP being the king, and where does IP come from? Come? We can only rely on colleagues from the Ministry of Culture. I hope that in the future we can achieve the level of internal digestion.”
“I will urge them to keep working hard when I go back!”
“Row.”
On July 3, the June manuscript fee statistics were released on time.
Perhaps it was because the update last month was too crazy, which led to a sharp increase in the manuscript fee for this June. In addition to the manuscript fees from major channels, the readers’ great rewards, and the follow-up share of copyrights such as audio books, finally The number counted is eight digits.
81.62 million!
The tax alone has to deduct more than 9.14 million!
More than nine million yuan, even in the first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, is enough to buy a nice three-bedroom house!
For this amount of money, if you buy a car, it is the price of a supercar. Just looking at it makes your heart bleed.
However, if outside authors know about it, it is estimated to be even crazier.
When they were still immersed in the joy of earning more than 10,000 yuan a month, Chungang boss’s one month’s manuscript tax had already topped them for a lifetime of writing books.
Nine million in taxes!
Nima, there is no way for labor and capital to earn 900,000 yuan, so why do you pay 9 million yuan a month in draft tax? !
What is human nature?
Where is the god?
Sure enough, there are no human rights in the street, and the street can only look up.
Li Chungang seems to have foreseen that if those authors in the circle know his income, what kind of attitude will “Xianyu lost his dream”.
Sure enough, it is necessary to throw away the goods, and people are more angry than others.
It’s just that although the manuscript fee is counted, it can only be released on the 12th. During this period, Li Chungang should still do something.
The plan to open a new book focusing on the global market before, it is time to pay attention.
As “The Hobbit”, the sister of “The Lord of the Rings”, Li Chungang’s plan has its existence, but it is not now, and it will not be taken out in a short time, at least until the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The best time to continue the story is when the filming of the series is completed and the status of Middle-earth in the hearts of readers around the world is completely established.
Before that, it is still necessary to continue to produce enough heavy works.
For him who owns the entire [Literature Encyclopedia System], there are many classic and excellent works, but the range of good books that are both classics and conform to other people’s designs is much narrower.
Style is still very important to an author.
It’s like you are now asking Li Chungang to publish a handed down article such as “One Hundred Years of Solitude”. After reading it, others will not praise your literary talent, but will immediately raise your weapon and ask you where you came from. “Experience” can write such a work?
A lot of works want to write, is very particular about a problem of experience.
This is also why Li Chungang always subconsciously goes in the direction of “overhead world” when selecting works, because only the new overhead world is the imagination of the full-screen author, and does not require too much life experience, let alone people. I wonder if this is something a young man in his twenties can write!
Many cultural and entertainment companies often ignore this point. As long as they are good works, they just copy and publish them word for word. Such behavior will only make readers who know a little bit laugh.
Li Chungang naturally didn’t want to make such a low-level mistake.
Therefore, the choice of the new book ~www.mtlnovel.com~ must be carefully selected, at least it should look in line with its own personality, and it will not make people feel strange.
Fortunately, Li Chungang had the help of the system, and directly screened according to the desired conditions——
“The Lord of the Rings” made a start for itself, but at the same time pulled the whole tone too high!
Therefore, the second global publication must not be too different in style.
He is determined to shock the world once again with his new work, and naturally he will not use some defective products to perfunctory. It is best to adapt it into a big movie like “The Lord of the Rings”!
Then let’s make big news!
