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

At that time, You Jiaxu, who no longer wanted to play games, began to get in touch with online novels. As a professional e-sports player, even when reading online articles, he instinctively turned his attention to the e-sports category, and found a book "Full-time" that overlooks all beings in the category. Master", it was reading this book, learning about Ye Qiu, about Glory, about the persistence of not getting tired of playing for another ten years, that made him finally give up the idea of ​​retiring, and continue to compete in the e-sports arena. Fight hard.

There is such a saying in the e-sports circle: One version of one generation of gods!

This year's Spring Tournament Commendation's performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but no one has given the audience a sense of surprise in the past.

Just when everyone thought that the rumored "Triple Crown" You Jiaxu would officially retire after the Spring Split, he stopped abruptly in the Galaxy Club's statement to refute the rumors, followed by...

You Jiaxuan's wonderful performance in the summer split seemed to be rejuvenated.

This kind of performance naturally recaptured the love of fans, and many of these fans also liked Li Chungang's works. Although these people made fun of You Jiaxu's sneaky behavior, many of them still voted for Li Chungang twice. ticket.

Li Chungang's number of fans could kill that out-of-date writer in seconds. Although he was only promoted by You Jiaxu, Li Chungang's number of votes quickly overtook Guo Xiaowu.

Guo Xiaowu's fans are crazy. They managed to push their idol to the top five when other fans were not paying attention. It's a pity that they were surpassed so easily!

There are many readers who can be willful.

This also confirms a saying on the Internet: You try to do your best, it is better for others to do it casually.

Since they can be loyal fans of Guo Xiaowu, they are probably not serious people, and these girls probably have been in the fan circle for too long, and they don't know much about the literary circle or the Internet literary circle, so they are arrogant. I didn't have to search for who Li Chungang was, but just took it for granted that this writer named "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang" must have bought tickets to win the list.

This is nothing, but they even posted Li Chungang directly on Weibo!

As the saying goes, you won't die if you don't die.

Fans did their best to die, and as a fanned idol, they will inevitably suffer.

If you don't make a fuss, Li Chungang's readers actually didn't take this selection activity too seriously, so they could get the first place casually, so they didn't bother to vote, but found that such a large group of "brain-dead" attributes The queen immediately became interested. Just pasting, copying and flicking the link in the reader group, the number of votes quickly widened the gap with the second place.

This is just a spontaneous voting behavior of some fans, there is no public canvassing at all, everyone just votes casually, without adding topics, and no one deliberately publicizes to show off, it is estimated that most of the fans are the same as Wen Siquanyong's employees , I don't know the existence of this stuff yet.

Chapter 589 Chips delivered to the door

The rules of "2022 vote for the most popular writer in your mind" are as follows:

Voting time: June 6 - June 18.

Rules: Each person can cast 20 votes per day.

The shortlist of Weibo's most popular writers in 2022 is as follows:

... (details omitted)

"I'm afraid this selection activity was not created by the temporary workers' heads? From the selection time to the number of votes, it's like a joke! Normally, the annual selection activities of Weibo are concentrated around December at the end of the year. , How can it be opened suddenly in mid-June.

Even if fewer people care about literature selection, it’s not a reason to treat it so lightly, right?

It's really okay for one person to vote 20 votes. No wonder the boss alone has tens of millions of votes, but it's still very powerful after subtracting it. "After Liu Siqian figured out all this, she was a little dumbfounded. If it was news, this would probably be one of them!"

Lin Meng also laughed after hearing what Liu Siqian said: "The fans who voted are too low-key, and they don't know how to publicize after voting. Also, you call Manager Hong of Weibo Literature to ask about the situation. Is the event officially held by their Weibo?"

"There is already a one-digit increase without publicity. No. 2 is now issuing combat submissions. Instead of getting closer, it is getting farther and farther away. If we mention it a little bit, it is estimated that the number of votes can reach It’s easy to get hundreds of millions, the risk of injury is not great, but it’s extremely insulting, I don’t think it’s necessary to do that kind of thing as long as you keep No.1.”

Muxiu is sure to be destroyed by Lin Feng, and now readers can secure the first spot by spontaneously voting sporadically. Many best-selling authors behind him have only hundreds of thousands of votes, and the gap is very obvious.

"These should be the real readers, the kind who only read books and vote but don't speak."

Such readers are actually the majority. They care about the quality of a book and rarely pay attention to who the author is. They do not post book reviews or participate in fan activities.But if the quality of the work is good enough, then these rational readers can be attracted to become fans, not just ordinary fans, but die-hard fans!

Lin dreamed about it and said: "Leave the link of this voting event first, and it may be used as a bargaining chip later. Of course, the more physical evidence that can prove the number of fans of the boss in China, the better, and it will be better for you to let me know." Guests who come from afar, see what it means to have a large number of people.”

"Okay, I will continue to follow up."

Liu Siqian felt that since this so-called voting activity was titled Weibo literature, it was necessary to maintain a proper degree of attention. Even if she didn't deliberately compete for rankings, this No.1 still had to be deserved. of.

How do other people evaluate the status of their boss Li Chungang in the country...

They can't and can't control it, but within Wensiquanyong company, before the publication of "The Lord of the Rings", Li Chungang was the well-deserved No. The one that takes firm steps towards No. 1 in the international literary world.

Since they want to adapt the "Lord of the Rings" series, Huaguo, the world's second largest movie box office market and surrounding sales markets, must not be underestimated. The box office results of many movies here are even higher than those in North America!

This type of film is not one or two, as long as it can meet the tastes of Chinese audiences, then the box office will definitely not be bad.

Lin Meng nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe they don't even know that each person can vote 7000 times for the 20 million votes. If that happens, they will really be disqualified."

Now the global sales of "Lord of the Rings" are still rising every day, launching a strong impact towards the astonishing number of 20 billion!

Before Evans arrived at the hotel he had booked in advance, Wensi Quanyong Company had already discussed various countermeasures.

After all, it is the first time to have negotiating contact with a Hollywood giant-level film and television company. When negotiating business with Paramount and Universal Pictures in terms of the size of the company, Wen Siquanyong will inevitably be in a weak position , but since the other party took the initiative to come to the door this time, they will definitely not let it go if they don't take back the initiative!

"The Lord of the Rings" doesn't necessarily need to find Universal Pictures, it still has many options.

For example, Sony Pictures, which faintly shows signs of the number one film and television company in Hollywood;

For example, Disney, which created the world's most successful movie universe "Marvel Universe";

The difference is that Universal Pictures, which has suffered a big setback in creating a dark universe, is very eager to have such a series of works to support their performance. Otherwise, Paramount, which is sunset, is their best example.

The former Hollywood overlord has now degenerated to a dangerous edge. The box office of all the movies produced in a year is not as good as the global box office of a Disney movie.

Almost all the IPs in the hands of Universal Pictures have been completed, and it is not suitable for restarting in a short period of time, so they can only develop new series.

If you insist that you can get it, maybe there is only one "Fast and Furious" series that is infinitely close to the end, still lingering...

This point starts from the accidental death of Paul, one of the leading actors. Universal Pictures had to grit its teeth and bite the bullet the year before last to launch a "Fast and Furious: Special Operations" similar to rumors, and last year as the end of the ninth part.

The "Pacific Rim" series is popular or not. Regardless of the professional film reviews and ratings, the global box office is not bad, but you have to see how much Universal Pictures has invested in it. It can be said that this series is a burning film. For a blockbuster movie, from the first frame of the opening to the last frame before the end, almost all special effects are burning funds.

Deduction of theaters, publishers, producers, promotional expenses, etc...

Universal Pictures also had to post part of the money in. Fortunately, there will be income from various video tapes and peripheral sales in the follow-up, but since the second and third parts of the project review department have not passed it, they can get a glimpse of the leopard.

Film and television companies are not charitable companies, and they definitely don't want to do business that loses money.

If it wasn't for such an urgent situation, Evans, the gold medal producer of Universal Pictures, would not have traveled across the ocean to find him in person, and the president and the film selection committee gave the green light all the way, skipping the project directly The link of the audit department!

These people can be regarded as meritorious veterans, and they have not disclosed any information to the outside world.

Especially now that the eyes of the entertainment industry around the world have realized the growing importance of Huaguo, the second largest ticket warehouse in the world, it is not easy for Universal Pictures to quietly get on the line with Li Chungang. There are many smoke bombs that spread outside to divert attention.

If the copyright can be successfully obtained, the process in the middle will definitely be exposed by Universal itself as a wave of publicity!

590 IMHO

When choosing a suitable coffee shop, Li Chungang decided on "Starbucks" in less than a second, not because he likes to drink this brand of coffee, let alone how much he likes this brand, but purely because it is in school. There is one within 800 meters.

In the Starbucks, he who arrived first had the feeling of a big girl on the bridge, but the person who came to meet him was not a white and beautiful Hollywood female star, but an Uncle Sam with a face full of vicissitudes and stories.

"Why haven't you arrived? I'm almost 10 minutes late, isn't it? This is such a big name before we meet, it doesn't look like you want to come to negotiate seriously."

Li Chungang looked at the watch on his wrist, and was extremely suspicious of the statement that "foreigners have a special sense of time".

Based on the traffic conditions in Yanjing, being late by 8 minutes and 10 minutes is justifiable; being late by more than ten minutes is still reasonable; but being late for more than [-] minutes makes people have to suspect that there is no sincerity in wanting to meet and have a good discussion!

"Don't worry, I have repeatedly contacted the people in Universal Pictures' China region to confirm that the gold medal producer didn't know the way and drove here with the navigation, but he encountered a sudden traffic accident halfway and the whole road was blocked. It's blocked. Now I'm rushing over by another route, it may take a while, you can play with your phone for a while."

Qi Tong is sorting out the materials in his hand, and soon he will face to face with the people from Universal Pictures, which will be very difficult.

As the head of the cultural department of Wensi Quanyong Company, and also the head of the business trip team appointed by Lin Meng to Yanjing to be in charge of connecting with Universal Pictures, the pressure on him can be said to be Alexander.

Before discussing cooperation with Man Jinghua Publishing Company, Luo Wen personally stepped in; when discussing with Penguin Random House, Lin Meng personally did it.To put it bluntly, he, the head of the company's culture department, is one of the best in the company except for his personal resume, but in terms of personal achievements, he has absolutely nothing to show for it.

In the long run, it is still unknown whether he will be able to convince the public and whether he can secure the position of minister.

Moreover, with the expansion of the company's business, Lin Meng's work as the general manager has become more and more busy, and many investment projects cannot be separated from her decision and signature. arrive.

And this time the film and television copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is negotiating with the Hollywood film and television company, which is not only a test for Minister Qi Tong, but also the best opportunity to prove his ability!

At the same time, Guan Yulan, who is Qi Tong's assistant, is silently making the final confirmation: "It's right that we don't hire an interpreter now, one more outsider means more risk of being leaked.

Boss, your own English level is high enough, so you don’t have to worry about communication problems. If you have any doubts, you can discuss with us. In addition, we also have this translation artifact, so you can understand it to some extent. "

Simultaneous translation earphones are a newly launched product recently. They are not the simultaneous interpretation receiving earphones that you see at international conferences. It is really the earphones that are translating the content themselves, not the simultaneous interpretation staff. However, it is definitely not that high in terms of accuracy and translation speed.

The confidentiality of this meeting is very high. Wensi Quanyong did not spread it within the company, and Li Chungang did not disclose the specific information to his friends. Naturally, Universal also wanted to wait for the deal to be completed before making it public. One more competitor would disrupt the situation. It may not be very good for Wen Siquanyong.

Sometimes, others don't value the film or the copyright at all, but just don't want competitors to get it, so they come out to disrupt the situation.

A few minutes later, two tall caucasian men in decent suits, dripping with sweat, opened the door and walked into Starbucks under the surprised eyes of the waiter.

Even if this is Yanjing, it is not uncommon for foreigners to come and go, but it is quite rare for foreigners to dress up in such a hot and high temperature weather!

"Sorry, I'm sorry we're late, I don't know how to express my apologies. By the way, I'm Evans from Universal Pictures, this is the person in charge of Universal Pictures Yanjing Theme Park, and I My good friend Rodnick is also my Chinese translator."

Evans knows that Li Chungang's English is very good. This can be seen from his speech at Random House's global press conference before, and if the English is not good, there is no way to write the full English version of "Lord of the Rings". Well, just in order to avoid some cultural differences and misunderstandings in customs, he still brought his friends over.

Li Chungang shook hands with him and said, "Nice to meet you, I am Li Chungang. Actually, when I heard that your company was writing the script of "The Lord of the Rings", I personally refused. To be honest, "The Lord of the Rings" I attach great importance to the film and television adaptation of your company, and the script that your company crafted in about a week after it went on sale...

With all due respect: this script must be hot chicken! "

"Actually, we felt this problem when we were writing the script. The setting in the book is too huge. It is not easy to adapt the script in a short time, so it is quite difficult to do!

But our gold medal screenwriters still did this without your permission. They just want to show you that Universal Pictures attaches great importance and sincerity to filming "The Lord of the Rings" into a movie! "

The good words from Evans' mouths rushed out as if they didn't want money, and while they kept praising "Lord of the Rings", they highlighted the importance and sincerity of their Universal Pictures.

In fact, he didn't deliberately raise the height, because this is the truest thought in his heart.If it weren't for the fact that the Middle-earth world of "Lord of the Rings" seems to be large enough and extremely expandable, cutting it into three movies according to the work is far from the end. As long as you fill it with different things, it will be a brand new movie universe!

Qi Tong and Guan Yulan, who can barely speak English, can only wear earphones, and then listen to the cold machine voice praising Li Chungang's works. This feeling is quite novel.

Li Chungang was very helpful in the praise, but he said very modestly: "We have received many tentative cooperation offers from Hollywood film companies before. From these cooperation offers, it can be seen that they have not really paid attention to "Magic". Caution, at least it didn't meet my expectations, but I don't know if your Universal Pictures can achieve it?"

It's not his style to pretend to be a snake. It's a real man's way to go straight to the point like this, setting up the dragon gate and waiting for the other party to come in.

It's useless to talk about the rest of the things. We are all adults, and we won't give up the benefits we deserve just because of one or two good words!

Chapter 591

Heart is under the kyte.

If you want to understand a person's character clearly, you can't do it in a few words in a short time.

But if you want to understand a person's temperament, you can deduce it from your daily actions.

Before Evans set off for China, he carefully studied Li Chungang's behavior style from the collected information, and the result was far simpler than imagined, and at the same time expected.

Just like young people don't have too deep a city, the other party's behavior style is more inclined to the straight-forward and very down-to-earth type. There are no surprises at all in the way it ends and gets straight to the point.

"Fortunately, I'm not unprepared!"

At this moment, he also directly took out the folder in the briefcase, then handed Li Chungang a piece of paper, and said, "I believe Mr. Li, you will feel sincerity after reading the content on it!"

"We, Universal, want to work with you to create this magical world of Middle-earth. We plan to buy the copyright of the Lord of the Rings trilogy at a price of 5000 million US dollars, just for the copyright transaction fee. In addition, we promise the production cost of each film No less than 2 million US dollars, this can be written into the contract.

In addition to these, we have something special to share with you. Universal Pictures is not stingy, 5% of the global box office profit share, 5% of follow-up fees, and you can also get 2% on peripheral product sales. Dividends. In addition, Universal Studios Theme Park will also transfer the scenes in "Lord of the Rings" to reality, and you can enjoy the dividends of tickets at that time. "

Li Chungang has to admit that Universal Pictures is indeed well prepared, but this condition is not much different from Paramount's "Death of Poor" once proposed. Both the eight-figure copyright price and the nine-figure The project budget, only in terms of income such as box office sharing, Universal is more specific.

But with such a condition, he believed that as long as he was willing to talk to Paramount, it would not be too difficult.

It's just that Paramount's "Mr. Poor" feels more like painting a big pie, and in terms of personal perception, it really doesn't have an advantage.

The price of a film and television adaptation of 5000 million US dollars, on average, is almost 1700 million US dollars. This copyright revenue alone is enough to dominate the world, not to mention the box office dividends, omni-channel sales dividends, and peripheral product dividends. Such conditions In Hollywood, it can be said to be superior to the limit!

There has never been such an astonishing price offered by a Hollywood film and television company for a literary work to be adapted into a film. As long as such an offer is spread now, it will immediately become the front page news of the day.

Although the U.S. dollar has been inflated due to the international situation, but if the copyright fee alone exceeds 5000 million U.S. dollars, plus the copyright income of other works in China this year, manuscript fee income, peripheral dividends, etc., his income is definitely guaranteed. Will become the world's most writers in one year, and easily break one billion in one year. This is a feat that no writer has ever accomplished!

Qi Tong and Guan Yulan looked at each other silently, they didn't expect such a thing at all.

The plan they had prepared before was——

When negotiating, you can relax your mouth on the copyright fee, and then focus on various dividends.You must know that compared to the copyright fee for a one-off sale, if the dividend income is rounded up, it is [-] million!

And it's still US dollars, not Chinese yuan!

On the same issue, Evans and the others have almost the same ideas. They would rather pay more for the copyright fee than give it away in the follow-up profit sharing. With such a large investment in the project, the profit must be very considerable.

After he uttered this passage, he paid attention to Li Chungang's expression, trying to detect his thoughts from the subtle expressions on the other party's face. This is an important content that must be learned in the study of negotiation. related.

People are emotional animals. Unless they have received professional training, it is absolutely impossible to be able to face everything without waves.

However, this time he was disappointed, because the expression on Li Chungang's face did not change much from the beginning to the end, as if the eight-figure copyright fee was the same as the nine-figure project funding, and if he insisted on saying that there was a change, he could only do so when he proposed it. There was a slight look of interest in the box office dividends, but this look completely disappeared after listening to the series of "5%", "5%" and "2%".

Dangerous! ! !
