Forced to become an idol in order to make games

Chapter 221 Zeng Tingfeng's Call
"Don't worry about this, things that come in from my ears will never come out of my mouth!"

Wang Pengtao said convincingly that he would not dare to share this kind of news. If it was because he was about to speak out suddenly and disturbed Lin Shunan's purity, he could imagine the consequences for himself. Lin Shunan didn't need to express his opinion. Come find him in trouble.

"Then thank you, Brother Wang!"

"Thank you so much, it's a trivial matter, I still know the importance!"

Lu Yu trusted Wang Pengtao very much, as long as he promised, he would not go out and talk nonsense, so Lu Yu said it directly when he saw this.

"Well, then please leave the rest to Brother Wang. We will contact you after I finish my work here!"

"Okay, no problem, I will handle this matter beautifully, let's get in touch later!"

"kindness!"

The two ended the call immediately, and just as Lu Yu was about to put away the phone, the next call came in directly. Lu Yu took a look and found that it was Zeng Tingfeng who hadn't contacted for a long time, and then answered with doubts.

"Hey Brother Zeng, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter, is it convenient for you to talk over there? I just called for a long time and the line was busy!"

"It's okay, we talked for a long time about something just now, Brother Zeng, just talk about it!"

Lu Yu explained with a smile, while Zeng Tingfeng, who was opposite, laughed directly.

"Okay, Lu Yu, are you still playing games?"

"Brother Zeng, where did you get the news?"

Lu Yu was a little surprised. It didn't take long for Wang Pengtao to find out about this incident. After all, it was their own territory. But why did Fengyu know the news immediately when it didn't have a village before or a store? , could it be said that this matter has spread in such a short time?
"So you admit it, you are now making games, and the rumors are all over the sky. You must know that you not only have female fans, but also a large number of men who read novels. Many of them play games and run away one by one. Go to your book review section and ask about it!"

As soon as Zeng Tingfeng said this, Lu Yu immediately understood. Indeed, the overlap between the two sides is still very large. I didn't know it before because no one would ask for Lu Yu's photos, and Zhou Xiaorui and the others didn't send these things to the male group. There is no need for the audience to waste this effort.

"So, Brother Zeng, you are quite well informed!"

"Thanks for the praise, I have been reading your novels all the time, and you don't have time to pay attention to your comment area, so we can help you maintain it. No, report to me as soon as there is a problem. I can only I'll call you to make sure it's true, after all, I'll have to go to the signing event in a while! We have to make preparations for this, don't we!"

Lu Yu nodded. This matter has already reached the novel comment section. It seems that it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hot topic.

"Brother Zeng, please, how is the arrangement for the signing event?"

"There's nothing troublesome. If you can make money, there's nothing troublesome. Don't worry about the signing meeting. It's all arranged, but it's just kept secret. It's not like you've been looking for you since the Shendiao side is finished and online. Look at the situation. We can release the news in advance, how about signing directly at the end of the month?"

"Okay, it's not a big problem, let's set it at the end of the month!"

Lu Yu estimated the time in his mind, and there must be no problem in completing the copy before the end of the month, so he agreed directly, but Zeng Tingfeng asked vaguely at this time.

"Lu Yu, I want to ask you something, have you already thought about not selling the copyright? Want to develop your own game?"

"Well, I do have this idea. The novels I write are all foreshadowing the game, so the right to adapt must be in my hands, otherwise it will be very troublesome!"

What Lu Yu said was very straightforward, and Zeng Tingfeng who was on the opposite side laughed and said.

"No wonder you are willing to give up the profit. There are other arrangements for co-authoring, but as someone who has experienced it, I would like to advise you that if a novel is good, it means it is suitable for making a game. The novels you write are all linear. If you want to make a game, copying the original work is meaningless. At most, it’s icing on the cake, and there won’t be too much noise, but if you’re going to sell it, the price right now isn’t low, so there’s no need to hold on to it so tightly!”

Zeng Tingfeng is not optimistic about the adaptation of novels to games. As the person in charge of Fengyu, he has naturally talked about many game adaptations. I don’t know how many adaptation rights he has sold, but none of them can meet expectations. It brought some traffic, and the difference was more of a negative impact. Fengyu didn't pay much attention to game adaptation over time, and focused all on film and television adaptation, after all, it can make a lot of money, right?

As someone who has experienced it, Zeng Tingfeng naturally wanted to remind Lu Yu that it is better not to step on this trap easily, but Lu Yu would not care about this, he naturally knows that it is not easy to adapt a novel to a game.

The reason is very simple. The adaptation fee of the first novel itself is not low. Not to mention the tens of millions of copyright fees in the previous life, this world is only high but not low. It's a bit different from the messy situation in the previous life.

And because of the improvement in grading, many things that could not be written in the previous life can be written in this world. Without those timid restrictions, naturally there are more good works than in the previous life. The price at which a book can be sold has already been established in the industry. There is a set of standards to stipulate as a reference. If the traffic is stable and high, the price will naturally be higher.

But this also creates a difference. Many works that became popular overnight, because of the instability of their own flow, may be directly sold at a high price in the previous life, but it is absolutely impossible in this world. Without the corresponding strength, it is impossible to achieve With that standard, the price will naturally not be too high.

And novels like Lu Yu, although they have just started, but according to that set of standards, the future is bright, and the facts have proved this point. The fact that Lu Yu's novels can directly sell film and television adaptations and sign contracts with Fengyu is proof. You know, Compared with game adaptations, the price of film and television adaptations is ridiculously high, that is, Lu Yu's novel hadn't been released at the time and it was a one-off, otherwise 20 yuan would be a fraction of Shendiao.

Of course, no matter how high it is, it won't be too outrageous. There are still differences between the sub-years. As for the permanent adaptation rights, don't even think about it. No one in this world will sell them, and because of the regulatory laws in this world, no one will. To do those things that turn left-handed to right-handed, you must know that as long as you are reported, you can be defrauded at the highest level, and no one will touch that bad luck.

It is because of this that many game companies will choose those novels with stable traffic, and spend a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights, just for that batch of traffic. What good game come out,

If you really want to do it seriously, not to mention the need for additional investment costs, and the risk of failure, even if it is done, it is still a wedding dress for the novel. They have the money, so why not choose another book to develop and continue the routine?Why bother to do such a risky thing that benefits others.

Of course, there are also excellent games based on novels in this world. Among the games of the year that Lu Yu bought before, many of them were adapted from novels, but those novels are already at the top. No one dares to waste like this, so it is natural to develop seriously, and they have the ability to make good games themselves, so why should they make bad games.

To put it bluntly, the starting point is different. Buying an adaptation of a novel in China is just spending money to buy the traffic of the novel itself. Relying on this part of the traffic to make a fortune, you will not lose money no matter what you do. Naturally, you will not take it seriously, because Their time is used to buy the next novel, and foreign ones are bought for the purpose of making annual games. The status of the manufacturer itself prevents him from making rubbish games. In addition, the author of that kind of novel already owns it. The grade is not low, so naturally I dare not mess around.

So Lu Yu is very clear about what Zeng Tingfeng means. He is now in a strange stage. The price of film and television adaptation rights is not too high. A few million is the highest price, but the price of game adaptation rights may be tens of millions or even higher. There is no other reason. , even if Lu Yu does not have the matching status but has the corresponding traffic, domestic manufacturers are confident. After the price is in place, Lu Yu can't say anything more, his opinion is no longer important.

After Lu Yu reaches that level, the game adaptation rights cannot be sold, because it is no longer cost-effective for game manufacturers. The price may not change, but Lu Yu himself may become a variable. They have to consider the original author's ideas , which no longer meets their conditions.

This is also the reason why the games adapted from the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long in the previous life were very popular for a period of time, but after that they gradually became uninterested. As their status became higher and more popular, the prices did not change much, but The impact it can bring is too great, a bad sentence may kill the game, and the contract must be compromised, which is unacceptable to many manufacturers.

"Thank you Brother Zeng for reminding me. I don't care about the money. I can't sell the game adaptation. Even if I don't make this kind of thing myself, I won't let people buy it and develop it to make disgusting people!"

"You, you are just too stubborn. If you want to say that film and television are the same as games, why don't you sell them? What does the sculpture say!"

Zeng Tingfeng sneered at this. In his opinion, Lu Yu cherishes feathers too much. The game is not bad. In fact, the impact on the novel is not that great. No matter how good-looking games are made, different people will read them, and no matter how bad-looking games are made. Well, no one will watch it.It still depends on the quality of the novel itself. As long as the price is enough, this loss is not a problem in Zeng Tingfeng's opinion.

"Shen Diao, I am the first person in charge of the script, brother Zeng, do you know? All my novels will be like this in the future. As long as I am willing to sell, the script must be approved by me. As for the selection of actors, of course, you need to choose carefully!"

"You put it bluntly. If it weren't for Wang Yan, you can see if you, Shendiao, can be the person in charge of the script. After that, you don't have the right to discuss this issue right now!"

Zeng Tingfeng was even more disdainful of this. He was not dissatisfied with Lu Yu. Originally, according to the contract, he didn't need to care about these things, but for Lu Yu himself, he still thought highly of him, so he naturally cared more. I know, even if I say something bad, as long as it is true, Lu Yu will not have any other opinions on him. This is the style of a gentleman, and this is what Zeng Tingfeng admires Lu Yu.

"I really can't talk about this right now, but someone can talk about it!"

"Who? Wang Yan? She is just a manager. Even if she owns shares in the company, these things have already involved the rights of directors. You must know that in the entertainment industry, directors are the biggest!"

Zeng Tingfeng is very aware of the model of the entertainment industry. Bosses who can make money will not mess around. A powerful director is often flattered by people. If a boss is not good enough, he can change bosses. , It is precisely because of this status that he has the right in the crew, and only a few artists can compete with the director, but Lu Yu and Wang Yan obviously will not belong to this rank now.

"Zhao Hanyun, I have already entrusted this to Sister Hanyun. Sister Hanyun will get all the film and television adaptation rights. If she goes, does Brother Zeng think there is a problem?"

"Zhao Hanyun? How did you pull her over? Can she agree to such a thing?"

After hearing this, Zeng Tingfeng was a little surprised. He also met Zhao Hanyun a few times when he was active before, and he was imaged as a person who doesn't like trouble. Logically speaking, Zhao Hanyun would not agree to such troublesome things.

"Don't worry about it, Brother Zeng thinks Sister Han Yun has the status to talk about it!"

"She must have, but I underestimated you for being able to pull her over? Tell me, has something developed between the two of you? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about it!"

"cough cough"

Lu Yu was directly frightened by Zeng Tingfeng's unreliable words, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Hanyun. At this time, Zhao Hanyun was looking at the mobile phone. As if he had noticed Lu Yu's gaze, his cold and pretty face was raised directly, and he looked at it with questioning eyes. Lu Yu.

Lu Yu turned his head quickly, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, but fortunately Zhao Hanyun didn't hear it, and then pretended to speak loudly.

"Brother Zeng, what are you talking about? The signal here is not good, so I can't hear you clearly!"

"The signal is not good, just pretend to be with me here, I won't say it after I tell you!"

"Hey, hey, Brother Zeng, Brother Zeng, can you hear me?"

"I can hear it, you just pretend to be with me here, it's okay if I don't ask!"

"It's good to hear it, then this matter is settled like this, and we will contact you at the end of the month!"

"Hey, hey, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Lu Yu directly hung up the phone, he would not continue to chat with Zeng Tingfeng, if Zhao Hanyun heard something, Lu Yu didn't know how to explain it, this kind of thing should not be spread indiscriminately.

"What did you say to him just now? Why are you mentioning me?"

At this time, Zhao Hanyun lowered his head and asked softly, so scared that Lu Yu quickly turned his head, seeing that Zhao Hanyun was still as usual, he was also relieved.

"It's nothing, it's just the adaptation rights that Sister Hanyun promised before! He wanted to buy it from me, so I told him to come to you!"

"Oh, why are you so nervous? Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Hanyun didn't doubt that he was there, but he just looked at Lu Yu strangely, and Lu Yu quickly shook his head and said something.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about the signing at the end of the month, and I'm a little worried that there will be too many people! And it's the first time, so I'm a little nervous!"
