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

This time it was Ergen who spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not like no one has ever done such a thing as the joint creation of an IP by the great gods. The most representative is our predecessor Yaoyang. I haven’t seen it. Whether it’s Longteng or other websites, readers don’t buy this joint IP.”

Brilliant Stars retorted: "As long as it is a good work, readers will support it. My confidence comes from the reputation of everyone here, including me. We are the top writers of the entire Internet literature. If we work together, we can write high-quality works. story, there is no need to worry that readers will not support it.”

The eagle next to him couldn't help but said: "It's simple. But have you considered many issues? What form should the cooperation take? What if someone is dissatisfied with the dividend model or quota?"

Now that everyone has started to express their opinions one after another, Mr. Xiao Lang no longer remained silent, but was the last one to speak: "If I'm not mistaken, Brother Chen, you are a drunkard and you don't mean to be in the bar...... Although you are talking about us, your real target should be the big brother Chungang, am I right!?"

Even though everyone is the top author of Longteng, if you really want to say how good they are in terms of friendship, it must not be counted.

To the point of being overwhelmed is to look up but not to see down, to chat a few words in the group from time to time.

It was the first time for several people to meet offline, especially Mr. Xiaolang, who made it to the top stage this year with the help of the book "Beater". Before that, he hadn't been to the annual meeting. They rarely deal with each other, so there is no need to worry too much about speaking on this occasion, and they will pierce the last layer of window paper in front of everyone at once.

Brilliant Stars remained calm: "As long as you nod your head, these are not problems. The big boss will send someone to discuss with you until a satisfactory result is reached!"

At this time, Tomato frowned slightly: "You keep talking about the big boss, who is that big boss?"

Brilliant Stars shook his head: "I can't disclose the details, but I can guarantee that the other party's liquidity is at the level of hundreds of billions, and no matter how big the IP is, it has absolute strength to start!"

Hundreds of billions are funds, not assets.

For all of you here, this is a huge number.

Don't look at Bright Star's annual royalties exceeding 10 million yuan, but it is definitely impossible for him to spend [-] billion yuan.

Li Chungang can get the number of one billion, but after taking it out, the deposit will shrink by more than half in an instant.

Brilliant Stars is full of confidence: "The big boss wants to integrate some of his resources in the film and television industry, and with us, we can develop into film and television, games, animation, peripherals, etc. based on the content of online literature. , from point to surface multi-dimensional expansion, to maximize the economic benefits of IP."

After the other great gods listened, they were either silent, or they said they wanted to think about it.

Bright Stars frowned slightly, and looked at Li Chungang: "Chungang, what do you think?"

Now that Mr. Xiao Lang has already opened the skylight to speak clearly, he no longer hides it.

Just as other people guessed in their hearts, the five authors here are actually only Li Chungang who the big boss behind him cares most about!

The other authors are not saying that they don’t pay attention, but that they belong to the type of “icing on the cake”. Only Li Chungang belongs to the type of “giving charcoal in the snow”. As far as they know, the other party still holds various copyrights of several major IP works.

The various copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should belong to the most thoroughly divided work among so many works. Huace Film and Television, which obtained the copyright of film and television, Maple Leaf Animation, which obtained the copyright of animation and manga, Perfect International, which obtained the copyright of game adaptation, Acquire the sound copyright of the perfect sound and so on...

"Medical Skills Unparalleled" currently only has the publishing rights reserved by Guozihao Publishing House, and the rest is basically there. Of course, because of the subject matter, the value should be the most limited among his many works, but the worst film and television copyright is converted into a TV series. Web dramas are still fine.

"Knife in the Snow" is currently the largest "treasure house". So far, except for the publishing copyright and audio reading copyright, the rest of the copyright is in the hands of Li Chungang. The most important thing is the proper big IP. Undoubtedly develop it Both have visible huge profits.

"Full-time Master", "Kyushu Misty Record", "Dragon Race", "Sword Come"...

There are too many excellent IPs, and the potential for development is huge.

God knows how passionate the big capital boss who found the bright stars behind his back was when he learned that Li Chungang had so many high-quality IPs in his hands but hadn't seen any action to further develop them. on this young and talented writer.

It's a pity that I think I'm smart, but I don't know that other people are not stupid.

Doesn't Lin Meng know how valuable the copyrights held by Li Chungang are?Of course I know!

But you must know that there is actually a fixed number of copyrights derived from a high-quality IP. If you use one, you will lose one. It is the option to maximize profits.

Now with the great success of the first TV series "Sword Come" as the best example, and the good performance of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for two consecutive seasons, I believe that no one will doubt the IP value of Li Chungang's works.

Chapter 649 Win-win cooperation?

Ten eyes of the five people were all staring at Li Chungang.

Li Chungang smiled noncommittally to the question thrown by Bright Stars: "I don't know how to answer this question for a while, mainly because I don't know much about it, so I have to consult the company's professionals.

Besides, the premise of cooperation is mutual trust and knowledge, right?

It will take more than half an hour for everyone to sit down. Brother Chen, you have not revealed the identity information of the patron from the beginning to the end. How can we trust you?Or how to believe in the sincerity of cooperation of the so-called big boss! ? "

The others nodded in agreement.

Talking about cooperation from the very beginning is a bit too abrupt.

No matter what kind of cooperation it is, there must be a process of understanding. You can't just listen to your bright stars and agree easily. This is irresponsible to yourself.

Everyone wants to make money, but they are also afraid of being cheated.

Brilliant Stars pondered for a while: "That's right, I just wanted to mention it to everyone today. If anyone is interested, I welcome everyone here. It doesn't matter if you are not interested. Everyone has their own pursuits, and I can understand. It's just that I want to fight again while I can still move.”

Fifteen years of ups and downs before and after entering the online literature industry, I am diligent and conscientious, and I believe that I have tried my best to do my best in all aspects.

However, when Li Chungang was born out of nowhere and boldly embarked on a path that no one had ever considered, he suddenly realized that his path of seeking stability had reached the extreme. If he wanted to break through the current framework, he had to innovate.

Therefore, Brilliant Xingchen wanted to give it another go while he was still young and able to type on the keyboard.

If you win, it's no problem to go further.

If you lose, at most you will lose your reputation, but with the title of Platinum Writer, at least the income from the manuscript fee is still guaranteed.

Regardless of whether other people do it or not, he is determined to enter the field.

There is nothing more to say about the big boss, and the information that Bright Stars can say about the big boss is also very limited, so everyone just eat with peace of mind.

After the meal, Li Chungang went back to the room, told He Miao about the details of the meal just now, and discussed with her whether the cooperation model that Bright Xingchen had mentioned was feasible.

This model is actually very common, such as the game custom text, which belongs to this model.

In addition, there are also many joint IPs. In recent years, there have been many news about joint IPs of great gods. Whether it is Youku, iQiyi, or other large-capital entertainment companies, there have been attempts to invite great gods to jointly create various popular IPs.

Yes, it should be said to try.

Because it has only been more than ten years since the birth of web writing, no one knows how it will develop in the future, and can only explore step by step.

It's just that the results are good and bad, which shows that the reputation of the great god is not everything.

However, in the process, the great masters did not lose money. The process of IP successfully reprogramming film and television, games, and animation has already multiplied their net worth several times.

In some people's eyes, some great masters are tepid on the website. In fact, they have jumped out of the one-acre three-point land of novel serialization and started to move towards a wider world, covering all fields such as film and television, games, and animation.

Once a web text IP is successfully developed, the wealth will definitely be endless.

This is only the author of the second and third tier masters, one can imagine how those top masters are doing.

The good thing is... At least in terms of IP operation, Li Chungang should be said to be in the forefront of all online writers. The great success of various IP development has also greatly stimulated the further activity of the market, and this income is naturally rising. of.

Moreover, counting the authors in the entire circle, he alone managed to get involved in this huge global market, which is beyond the envy of others.

The barrier of "cultural differences" is not so easy to break. Even with so many of his works, the only one that has truly gone international is "The Lord of the Rings". Of course, one "Lord of the Rings" is worth ten or eight other works. Works are still possible.

After thinking about it, I still took out my mobile phone and called Lin Meng: "Senior sister, there is something that needs to be considered by you."

He told Lin Meng what happened at the dinner just now.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Meng pondered for a while, and made a little analysis: "There are advantages and disadvantages of doing this. The advantage is that we can use the resources in the hands of others to help us better commercially develop IP, which is referred to as learning from each other's strengths.

The disadvantages are also obvious. If you cooperate with others, there will definitely be conflicts of interests and losses.Most of the time, we have to argue for a little benefit, no matter how close the relationship is.

If we are short of money and we happen to have good IP content in hand, we can borrow chicken and lay eggs to cooperate with them.If there is no shortage, then I think we can grow bigger step by step by ourselves.

And I lean more towards the latter.

Because the current development of the company can be said to be booming, as long as we give us a period of time, I am confident that I can occupy a place in the IP business development.

If you do not have enough capital to cooperate with giants, you may be eaten up to the bone in a matter of minutes.This is a common occurrence in business activities.Don't trust the reputation and integrity of businessmen, they always only have the word 'interest' in their eyes! "

"That's exactly what worries me."

Li Chungang sat cross-legged on the bed, his tone revealing exhaustion: "Naturally, I want to develop the IP business in my hand more thoroughly, and gradually accumulate funds, but the most important point is that we lack relevant network resources. "

Who made himself self-made without rich contacts?

I want to make a movie, but there is no distribution channel;

I want to do animation, but there is no suitable studio;

I want to make games, but I don’t have enough partners;

I want to do a TV series, but I don't have a good director team and actor contacts.

Disaster!Disaster!Disaster!

"The Sword Comes" was able to be filmed so smoothly, without even thinking about it, Gu Wan'er and her family's business must have put a lot of effort behind it, and even used a lot of contacts.

However, no matter what, the IP in your hands must be developed!

The most important thing is that any IP development requires a long period of time. Compared with his own creation speed, Li Chungang is confident that as long as he does not close his pen and stop writing, then the speed of IP development will definitely not be able to create new IP. quick.

"It seems that it is indeed time to speed up the progress of IP development." Li Chungang murmured, holding his chin with one hand.

A win-win cooperation approach is still advisable, but this partner is worth considering.

But he has a list in his heart that only he knows, and the people on it are trustworthy partners...

Chapter 650 The Silent Truth

I can't wait!

The time of summer vacation seems not short, but in fact, you will find that it is so... not enough when you really realize it!

So when he returned to Shanghai, Li Chungang declined the invitation of his friends to gather and locked himself in the study for "retreat" immediately.

The first priority that needs to be done is to agree to Universal Pictures' "Lord of the Rings" script adaptation. I already have a rough "spectrum" in my heart, and this trip to Millikin communicated with Mr. Ray as the director. It's not all fruitless either.

Regarding some details of the script, how to deal with it and how to polish it also has a clearer direction.

Of course, the adaptation of movie scripts and the adaptation of TV drama scripts are two different orders of magnitude.TV dramas focus on adapting one episode and one episode, which is relatively more cumbersome; movies focus on how to condense the essence of a whole work into 120 to 150 minutes.

Anyway, there is another ready-made script of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy in his mind, and he only needs to modify it according to the actual situation and what he thinks is more suitable and appropriate, and the script will come out soon.

besides……

"Lord of the Mysteries", which has been refrigerated in the writer's assistant for several months, should also be officially promoted. What is lacking now is nothing more than negotiating with Long Teng to select an auspicious day to upload and release.

As for the contract, the Platinum contract has already written enough and perfect, and this novel is also one of the works that need to be fulfilled under the Platinum contract.

According to Li Chungang's idea, it can be uploaded and released on August 8th. 8 is just a post, just to make a good meaning. The most important thing is to see if Longteng's early publicity work is not in place. Besides, the 88-word pre-saved manuscript is not something to look good on.

Since it is used to succeed "Full-time Master", the update rhythm will naturally follow and be in line with "Sword Come", and the rhythm of updating five chapters every day is the same for all.

It's just that he has recently begun to consider whether to slow down the update pace of "Sword Come", and correspondingly speed up the update speed of the new book "Lord of the Mysteries" as compensation.

It's not that I don't want to update so much, and it's not that I don't have the time, but that at the current pace, I will soon catch up with the latest chapter of more than 700 million words, and then there is really nothing more to do and need to stop updating.Instead of breaking the update and losing character at that time, it is better to slow down the update speed in advance and leave yourself a way out.

He doesn't want to become Eunuch Li one day!

As for the new book "The Da Vinci Code" and the sequel to "Dragon Family"...

next time!

Definitely next time!

After finishing the "retreat", Li Chungang came to the company immediately, and went straight to the general manager's office.

"This is the movie script of "The Lord of the Rings" that I have completed. The trilogy is already in it. You can send it back to Evans to connect with the other party. In addition, if there is any objection to this script , after you make a summary, send it directly to my email."

Before Lin Meng could digest the news, Li Chungang pushed the second document.

"This is a web drama script. I've already decided on the name. It's called "The Silent Truth". The subject matter of this drama may be a little sensitive. I hope you can finish the review process and start looking for suitable ones." Director. I mean this film, let's make it ourselves!

As the first drama produced by Wen Siquanyong in the entertainment industry, we started to practice from the web drama! "

Last time, the TV series "Sword Come" co-produced with Wanxing Entertainment, a total of 60 episodes, has been broadcast for more than half, and most of the responses received by the audience are rave reviews. It seems to be one of the producers, but in fact, except for Li Chungang who participated in script adaptation and casting, he is almost no different from an outsider.

This time, for the future development of his company in the entertainment industry, Li Chungang plans to try to develop production, distribution channels, and publicity.

"Shooting by yourself?"

Lin Meng was stunned, unable to react for a while because of his series of actions, looked down at the script in his hand, and asked, "How much do you plan to invest?"

Li Chungang smiled indifferently: "The investment is tentatively set at 1000 million! However, if it is not enough, there is no problem in pursuing it in the later stage. As long as the cost is controlled and every penny is used wisely, I think it will be over budget as long as it is not too outrageous." It’s all worth it.”

"What if...the company loses money on the first drama it shoots?" When things came to an end, Lin Meng, the general manager of the company, began to feel a little unconfident.

"It doesn't matter if you lose money, but you can't lose this word of mouth." The reason why Li Chungang chose "The Silent Truth" for his first drama was not without consideration in this regard, so he chose this online drama from so many scripts in the system , didn’t they fancy the low investment cost, high return and good reputation, so they turned to comfort her, “After you read the content of this script, I believe you won’t have such worries, you have to trust my screenwriter strength!"

According to his estimate, the cost of "The Silent Truth" is more than enough at 1000 million, and the main investment of the 1000 million is still in the remuneration of the director and actors, and the cost of the remaining filming does not need to be too much.

The background of the content is basically a modern city, and the shooting and framing are not too particular, but relatively speaking, it will test the acting skills and skills of the actors.

A web drama needs to go through many processes from scratch.
