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

As the old saying goes: Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black.

Being able to be arranged by the school in the "404" dormitory not only shows the fate of the four of them, but also fully shows the excellence of the four of them.

Chen Cang has been favored by the school's professors since the beginning of his freshman year. During the holidays, he was even promoted to the hospital for an "internship" in person. You must know that for ordinary medical students, graduating from a university means that they My medical career has just started, and what I have to face next is one year of internship, three years of regular training, four years of postgraduate entrance examination, and the license exam that I don't know when I will pass it.

It can be said that Chen Cang, who was still a freshman, had surpassed countless "competitors" and was several years ahead of them. This is something that medical students can't even hope for.Thinking about it from another angle, isn't the premise of all this that he is good enough?

Su Yu, although he is joking and joking and has no right to do it on weekdays, whenever you pass by his desk and look at the densely packed program codes on his computer screen, it is inevitable that you will have vague thoughts.

Li Changshou...

Although it was not Li Chungang's original intention, the "excellence" he inadvertently revealed is like the existence of a halo in some games, passively affecting people within the halo range at all times, urging them to move closer to the direction of excellence !

A few people who hadn't seen each other during the winter vacation sat at their desks, busy with their own affairs, and at the same time chatted non-stop. They chatted for almost an hour.

Look at the time.

After Li Chungang packed his things briefly, he said goodbye to his brothers in the dormitory, and walked towards the school parking lot with his bag on his back.

"Jianlai is still more than 500 million words short, and a full-time master is probably more than 200 million. It seems that if you want to upload the Lord of Mysteries smoothly this year, you still have to work hard on the full-time master."

The smoke bomb for the new book "Lord of the Mysteries" has already been thrown out. In the first few days, many people approached him to inquire about the new book. I have drafted it, but I really don't have any ideas.

There is no idea of ​​​​three releases, so if the new book wants to be released to readers, there is only one way left——

One of "Sword Come" or "Full-time Master" is over!

For Li Chungang, this multiple-choice question is actually a false proposition, because when he unlocked "Sword Come", more than 700 million words were not the number of words in the complete book. According to the system at that time, unlocking the follow-up still required money, but "Full-time Master" is a truly completed work, and the number of words is no less than the former. With more than 500 million words, considering his current update speed, there is not much pressure to finish the book within this year.

But it is necessary to consider the issue of the expected value of a new book.

If the new book "Lord of the Mysteries" is delayed for too long, it will inevitably consume part of the readers' expectations for the new book. Gradually speed up the update speed of full-time masters.

In the parking lot of Tsinghua University, there is only one Audi RS7, which is Li Chungang's car.

Open the door and sit in the car, throwing the backpack on the passenger seat, completely ignoring that this is Prada's new backpack this spring, the price is as high as six figures, and the next second the window is opened Come down to ventilate and change the air in the car.

Recently, Li Chungang is full of motivation, and he can't wait to go back to the villa immediately and write another 800 million words!

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, although it is approaching the peak of traffic in Yanjing, most people go from the outer ring to the inner ring. People like him who go from the inner ring where Tsinghua University is located to the outer ring where the villa is located are not counted. There are too many, so it can be said to be unimpeded along the way.

Just when he was about to resist the gate of Manor No. [-], his cell phone rang suddenly.

The name "Lin Meng" in the caller ID is jumping, but Li Chungang has always been adhering to the principle of safe driving. Generally, he would try not to answer the phone as much as possible while driving, and he thought that it would not be a good idea to find himself at this time. For something important, just wait until you get home and park the car before calling back to senior sister.

According to his own thoughts, Li Chungang drove the car home smoothly, and threw his body on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor before leisurely dialing the phone.

"Senior sister, I didn't receive your call just now when I was driving. Did you call me suddenly for something?"

"Do you remember what you ordered years ago?"

As soon as Lin Meng's words fell, Li Chungang, who was limp on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight, and asked happily with his mobile phone: "Are you referring to the song invitation for the soundtrack of "Sword Come" or my About finding singers for the two songs?"

"neither."

"..."

Li Chungang didn't expect that he was wrong.

"What's that?"

"The company's investment in online dramas. The current situation is like this. After three-party negotiations with the crew and the original filming party during this period, "Cohabitation Life with a Stewardess" is willing to accept our 2500 million investment, accounting for 20%. And the crew of "Why Shengxiaomo" is 2000 million, accounting for 25% of the proportion. After all, this is the company's first investment project, and the capital is as high as 4500 million, so I think it needs to be approved by the chairman of the board. Just agree."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Meng's expression was solemn. Although she chose these two online dramas to invest in, she was "choosing two out of five" according to Li Chungang's wishes, but before finally signing the cooperation contract, she believed that Li Chungang's consent was still needed.

Chapter 510

Investing in projects shot by other companies is completely different from the film and television drama projects shot by yourself.

There are many complicated things in it that cannot be explained clearly in simple words. To put it simply, the former is uncontrollable, while the latter is controllable!

It's like cooperating with Huace Film and Television "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" back then, just handing over the copyright of the film and television drama to the other party at a buyout price, don't look at the other party who was polite to Li Chungang before the filming started, and it was the actor who chose him. He listened to opinions when filming, and consulted him when filming and framing, but in the end, no matter whether it was the money he got or the influence he had on the TV drama crew, his limit was floating on the water.

You can see this when watching the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", almost from the beginning to the end, he asked Li Chungang if he could help promote it a little before it was broadcast.And through the relationship of Liu E, an "insider", I learned that the third film planned to be filmed this year did not even notify Li Chungang of the original work.

But if you are involved in the investment of film and television dramas, then the right to speak will naturally be more important. For example, when selecting actors, you can find ways to ask your own company's artists for roles that are both insignificant and have a good role.

"Egoism" prevails wherever it goes.

It is undeniable that the success of a drama is affected by many factors, in addition to the quality of the show itself, it is largely related to the acting skills of the actors!Then it’s not enough for an actor to have good acting skills. You also need a good director, screenwriter, prop artist, set artist, costume artist, makeup artist, etc. All of these links are indispensable.

This is also the reason why Li Chungang holds the IP of his own work, but he dare not take the idea of ​​shooting. Wen Siquan Yong does not have this ability and level at present. It takes time to find out slowly if he wants to form his own shooting team. .

What's more, it is not advisable to "do it alone". The behavior of eating alone will only make you squeezed out by your peers in the industry, make enemies for nothing, and eventually "besieged on all sides".

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there is no single TV series or movie that is independently produced by a certain company. It is better than Huace and China Entertainment, the two giants in the entertainment industry, do not accept investment from other companies and star actors when filming. Joining, cooperation is like the general trend, only cooperation is the future, and cooperation can win-win!

"I have read the original works and scripts of these two online dramas before, and I still know them well. As long as the production level is not too rare, I think there will still be a considerable market and be loved by the audience. At least I Personally, I am optimistic about it. But after all, this is the first investment project for our company to enter the film and television industry, so you should pay more attention to it, senior sister!"

After receiving Li Chungang's affirmative answer, Lin Meng seemed to be reassured, "Don't worry, the bidding companies we cooperate with are not newbies like us. They must have gone through a series of comprehensive evaluation methods before bidding, and they think it is profitable. Only the pictures will be cast, and I also specifically asked someone to check the directors I found for these two online dramas, they are all good at this aspect, so there should be no trouble."

Although Lin Meng attaches great importance to this investment, Li Chungang actually doesn't care much about this aspect. It's just a business expansion for the company's development, trying different fields, as long as it doesn't affect his "basic market." "——Novel, then everything is easy to say.

Taking a step back of 100 million, even if it is fully compensated, it is only 500 million.

Of course, if the online drama is filmed well, the income will naturally be considerable.

"You can go ahead and do it with confidence. Since Lao Luo and I are confident in entrusting the company to you, we naturally believe in your ability, Senior Sister. Even if we fail, our company can stand it!"

Qiongzhou Island is located on the equator, and it is hot all year round. Although it is only March, the people who come and go are wearing short-sleeved shorts and sunglasses.

Luo Wen took his wife Lin Yimin and walked on the beach with their daughter in their arms. After a while, when the temperature in Shanghai returned to more than 20 degrees, it was time to go back.

When I was young, I struggled for my family and ideals, and more or less neglected my family. Now, Luo Wen, who considers himself "successful and famous", has finally let go of the burden and pressure of work, and can put his focus on it with peace of mind. When it comes to the family, I cherish it very much, and at the same time, I want to find an opportunity to make up for my wife. I dare not talk about such a big goal of traveling around the world, but it is no problem to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Having completely got rid of his busy work schedule, he now spends less and less time in contact with computers and mobile phones. Wouldn't it be nice to have this spare time to amuse his daughter?

It is said that children grow up very quickly, and often parents grow up inadvertently.

On the contrary, his wife Lin Yimin played with her mobile phone while walking, and he held his daughter and even reached out to hold her from time to time to avoid bumping into things or stepping on the air.

"Husband, I just saw Chun Gang in the entertainment news. I didn't expect his "Sword Come" to be made into a TV series!"

Lin Yimin said with a little emotion.

And Luo Wen smiled and shook his head: "What time are you watching the news, and the filming of "Sword Come" started as early as last year, and if there are no accidents, it will be aired in the summer vacation in July , there is also your favorite actor Hu Ge in the play."

"Really!? Then why didn't you tell me earlier." Lin Yimin was subconsciously surprised when she heard that her favorite star was starring.

"It's not that you didn't ask."

"If I don't ask you, won't you tell me? So the relationship will fade, right? You have a little lover from your previous life, so you don't want me, right?"

"Where is this going? Otherwise, next week I will take you to the Hengdian crew to visit the crew." Luo Wen quickly thought of a remedy. Anyway, the crew of "Sword Come" is still filming in Hengdian at this time. I will go to other places to shoot content next month, so I have enough time.

Although he does not continue to hold any position in the company now, his identity as a shareholder is still there, and it is clear what is going on in the company. Of course, this also includes the general shooting plan of "Sword Come".

"Then I don't want it. It's so troublesome to go to Hengdian. Who will take care of my daughter?" Although Lin Yimin was a little moved, the great maternal love still prevailed at this moment. The daughter is so young, and she still cannot do without breastfeeding.

"..."

Chapter 511 Prepare in advance

"Menglong Media has readily agreed to our request, together with the traditional Chinese publishing copyright package of Xuezhong, Full-time Master, and Jianlai, all of which are 25% of the royalties. In addition, there is a 1800 million yuan Signing fee. For the traditional Chinese publishing market, I guess this is the greatest sincerity that the other party can show. If you have no objections, I will arrange to formally sign the contract with the other party in the next two days."

Early the next morning, a WeChat message from Lin Meng was sent to Li Chungang's mobile phone, because she knew that Li Chungang at this time should be in the classroom without accident.

After Li Chungang felt the vibration of the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, he took it out of his trouser pocket calmly, and after unlocking it with his fingerprint, he lowered his head and quickly checked it. Although he was typing with one hand, it was still very smooth. He replied quickly and concisely: "Then do this/thumbs/thumbs/thumbs"

Not long after.

Lin Meng continued to add: "But the other party also has a relatively simple request, that is, we can't publicize the record-breaking royalties to the media with great fanfare, and we must keep it in a state of secrecy. The traditional publishing house colleagues know."

Generally speaking, one of the publicity routines for the sale or cooperation of online authors' publishing copyrights is to advocate how high the royalties of the signed copyrights are and how record-breaking they are, which can reflect the publishing house's commitment to the author's works Second, it can completely kill many "colleagues" who still want to compete.

25% of the royalties is 100% in the top ranks, which is already equivalent to a quarter of the royalties sharing ratio. You must know that the publishing house has to bear various costs such as publicity and printing. And the author doesn't need it, just get this "25%" sharing ratio completely.

If the news is released, the media and netizens will probably be surprised that Li Chungang once again broke the ceiling of the industry!

However, this is all determined by market supply and demand. The main reason is that the traditional Chinese publishing market is not that big, and it is completely incomparable with the domestic simplified Chinese publishing. Make a fortune in a muffled voice.

"That's pretty good, but if the outside world really wants to know, it may not be leaked by us. Maybe it's a scene directed and acted by Wanwan Publishing House for better sales. Remember to leave Just keep an eye on it."

Never underestimate the desire of capitalists to chase capital!

After finishing the conversation with Lin Meng, Li Chungang put the mobile phone back into his trouser pocket, then raised his head solemnly, and just met a stern look from the middle-aged female teacher on the podium, but after finding out that he was the one who did the tricks, In the next second, the death gaze moved to the next "player".

Anyone who has been a teacher knows one thing: the small movements of the students who think they are hidden underneath, but standing on the podium, they can clearly see any movement below, or at a glance, but the teacher sees it. Hidden in my heart, I seldom interrupt lectures and ask for reminders. I am much more relaxed than when I was in high school or junior high school.

College students are basically adults who have grown up and should be responsible for their actions.

Studying in university really depends on self-discipline. There are no longer so many teachers chasing after you to urge you, even in top universities like Tsinghua University.

Li Chungang is sitting upright, but on his right hand is a 1 neutral fountain pen that can be bought for 0.5 yuan in any stationery store, flying quickly between his five fingers like a butterfly wearing flowers. "Pen turning" is a skill for students, whether they are bad students or good students, they will try it. The difference is that some people's pen turning is really a pen rotating between a limited number of fingers, and a small part People can make the pen dance between the fingers.

Obviously he belongs to the latter in terms of "turning the pen".

It's just that what he's thinking about at this moment is about going to Penguin Random House in the United States...

—

"Xueba is different. He dared to play with his mobile phone and lose his mind in the class of Mrs. Miejue. I was a little terrified to be stared at by death when I was sitting next to you." Cheng Tao chatted while tidying up the things on the desktop.

Being able to win the title of "Master Miejue" among the students proves that it is definitely not for nothing.

Every class roll call is almost so bad that it can't be rotten. On this basis, Miejue Shitai has also developed a variety of moves and routines.For example, roll call during breaks to prevent some students from sneaking away after taking a break; for example, answering a question and roll call, it’s okay if you can’t answer it, if this person disappears... Ha ha, don’t even think about being able to get out of school Miejue Shitai got 20 attendance points!

Fortunately, these have nothing to do with a "scholar" figure like Li Chungang. On this point, all the teachers in the college have reached a consensus after the freshman year.

"Every exam must be full" is not a basic practice, and the awards and honors he has won are now even more embarrassing to the teachers. If you want to come to such a student, it would be better if you let him grow wildly.

Of course, it is absolutely wrong to play with mobile phones in class!

This is a matter of principle of respecting teachers!

"I'm going to borrow some books from the library, what do you say?" Human brain circuits are different. Not only do we want to eat eggs, but we also have to meet the chicken that lays the eggs, and even ask the chicken some questions.

Know your own business.

"The Lord of the Rings" was directly unlocked by Li Chungang from the system. If Penguin Random House asked some questions such as the background of the creation, how it was conceived, and where the inspiration came from, it would be very easy to be asked for a while. of.

Fortunately, it takes time to apply for a visa, and he still has enough time to prepare more fully.

Cheng Tao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Isn't this the homework of five famous books this semester? I might as well go to the library and read and write. Otherwise, when I get back to the dormitory, I really don't even have the idea of ​​picking up a pen." No, I always think that the time is still early, wait, wait, wait, wait until the end of the year, ready to hand in, and I haven’t written yet!”

The students in the Faculty of Arts are so hard-working. Unlike other majors, the test questions have fixed answers during the exam, and most of the test questions in their exams are open-ended answers, similar to the meaning of expressing their own opinions. If there is something in the point, there will be points.

In addition, there are such things as reading after reading a masterpiece, creating limited subject matter, etc...

"Go together."

"Then add me too!"

"Anyway, there's nothing to do, so let's go together."

As soon as they heard that Li Chungang and Cheng Tao were going to the library, those who heard the news also rushed to join in the fun, so that the team going to the library suddenly became five or six people.

Chapter 512

Although the Tsinghua University library is just a campus library, it ranks second in the comprehensive collection of books in China. As for the first...

Don't ask, it's a national library anyway.

After showing his student ID card, Li Chungang and his classmates entered the library smoothly. In the spacious and quiet hall, there were students walking briskly from time to time, but everyone tried to suppress the footsteps as quietly as possible. For fear of disturbing others.

Li Chungang stood at the shared tablet used for book retrieval, and entered the keyword "Norse mythology" for conditional retrieval.

Cheng Tao, who was quietly standing behind him, was actually a little curious about what kind of books he, a top student with full creative ability, was reading on weekdays, but he didn't understand the content of the conditional search: "You Why do you suddenly think of watching Norse mythology?"

"Nothing else, just encountered some creative problems, so I want to look at the source. For the genre of Western Fantasy, most of the content comes from their oldest myths and legends."

"I didn't even know that Nordic mythology and Western fantasy novels can be related!" Cheng Tao patted his forehead with a self-deprecating expression, "Sure enough, I am too ignorant."

"Actually, I'm half-baked, that's why I came to the library to read and recharge my knowledge. The book I'm looking for is on the third floor, how about you?"
