Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I am not going to sell the film and television copyright of "Zhu Xian"."

The answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

Why? !This is the first thought in everyone's mind.

You don't even want the money delivered to your door, are you crazy?Almost 99% of authors hope that their works can be made into TV series, not only because of money, but also as an excellent means to expand their popularity and influence.

After all, the communication ability of paper media is limited, and the audience of film and television works is much wider.

When the faces of the others froze, Li Wenrui asked in a deep voice, "Why, can you tell me the reason?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Just take it as a little persistence in my heart. I don't think now is the time."

Everyone was silent, and at the same time they were a little puzzled.

It is true that a small number of authors just have trouble with money and are very resistant to handing over their hard work to others for adaptation.But since Ye Zhiqiu agreed to the sale of the game IP, he doesn't look like that kind of person.

In fact, what Ye Zhiqiu thought in his heart was that Yu Caiwei of Huahai Entertainment also had shares, and Li Wenrui was Yu Caiwei's uncle, so he couldn't cheat him!

In the previous life, the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" adapted from "Zhu Xian" was criticized by book fans, and its reputation fell to the bottom.

There are many reasons, but in Ye Zhiqiu's view, in the final analysis, there is still a lack of money, which leads to the quality of the works being unqualified.

At the beginning, the investment in the TV series "The Chronicles of the Clouds" was more than 2 million yuan, which was definitely a big production, but after removing the expensive cost of hiring popular actors, as well as publicity fees, etc., the most important budget for special effects production was left. to 5000 million.

However, in the scenes in "Zhu Xian", the ethereal pavilions and pavilions, especially the magnificent fighting scenes, such as a magic sword to control thunder, every frame burns money.

The special effects fee of 5000 million is divided into more than 50 episodes of TV series, and each episode has less than 100 million that can be spent on special effects.

Is 100 million not enough?For example, the level of special effects that Ye Zhiqiu should have in mind - refer to the American drama "Game of Thrones", the amount spent on special effects in each episode is about this amount.

But the unit is US dollars.

However, it is impossible for domestic entertainment companies to spend such a high price to invest in a TV series, not to mention whether the cost can be recovered, but the overall industry environment.

It's not that it can't be done, but it's not necessary.

Let me ask, everyone’s works are all 10 points. As long as you make something with 30 points, it is enough to fool the audience and make money. Who would rack their brains to make the work 90 points or even perfect?

Investors making TV dramas are not doing charity, so of course they don't do such a thankless thing.

In fact, the previous TV series "The Legend of the Clouds" had a huge fan base, and in the end, not only did it not lose money, it even made a small profit, but the word of mouth collapsed.

If Huahai Entertainment shoots according to this budget, it is estimated that the ending will not be so good, and it may be labeled as "shoddy".

But Ye Zhiqiu knew in his heart that if he said this, not only would it be unflattering, but the people from Huahai Entertainment might regard him as a lunatic, so he just said that he would not sell the film and television adaptation rights.

As far as I am concerned, the film and television copyrights are sold, and the money is in my pocket, and the fans of the bad books will not be able to scold me.

But the main thing is that I don't want to be bullied again, even if I don't make money.

However, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that I am currently serializing is different.

This masterpiece is completely opposite to "Zhu Xian", but the TV series is the existence of the gods.

These are all later stories.

After confirming that Ye Zhiqiu really had no intention of selling, everyone in Huahai Entertainment was extremely disappointed.

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "Mr. Li, in fact, Huahai Entertainment wants to make a TV series, and I have another script that is quite suitable."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the person in charge of the film and television department hurriedly said, "Is it a fairy tale drama?"

"No." Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Dong Peng who was sitting in the corner, and said with a grin, "Urban drama."

Everyone blinked and looked at each other, with a hint of disappointment flashing in their eyes.

Urban dramas, long and short family romances, are indeed enduring genres, but Huahai Entertainment has filmed a lot, and they all hit the street!

Li Wenrui was quite patient and said with great interest, "Explain."

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, it's an urban sitcom. I think it's quite suitable for Huahai Entertainment's testing stage. The investment is small, but the output is not necessarily small."

Ye Zhiqiu briefly talked about the model structure of the sitcom, and the conference room was silent.

Some executives wondered: "This...is it okay? There is no main plot that runs through the whole drama, will it be cut too loosely, and the audience will not be interested in watching it?"

"This is not a problem." At this time, the person in charge of the film and television department showed his due professionalism and explained: "There are examples of this model before, and they have achieved good results. Yes, Zhiqiu’s model is more thorough.”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly, and added: "My idea is that this kind of sitcom is mainly broadcast on online video media, and the main target group is young people who watch it in fragmented time."

"After a busy day at work, I don't have time or thought to follow the plot every day. I can watch it when I turn on the computer, just to relax."

Following Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, everyone also had market acumen and nodded repeatedly.

Seems... very feasible.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.

I thought I just signed a talented singer, but this kid is still a great talent!

Even if Ye Zhiqiu doesn't sing, coming to the marketing department of Huahai Entertainment is definitely worth a maximum salary.

"That's okay, but..." an executive hesitated, "This kind of sitcom is a modern scene, and the cost is indeed not very high, but the core problem is that you have to be funny."

"The audience just wants to have fun, and it needs to be short-term and immediate. This is a very test of the script."

Everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu again, and Li Wenrui asked with a hint of expectation in his tone, "Zhiqiu, do you have a script?"

Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "How about this, I'll come out with the scripts of a few episodes first, you guys have a look."

Everyone was overjoyed, expecting vaguely, Li Wenrui made a decision on the spot: "Okay! That's it!"

That's right, the internet sitcom that Ye Zhiqiu was talking about is "The Dirty Man"!

This famous melodrama is not difficult to shoot and is in line with the tastes of young people today.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at his manager sitting in the corner with inexplicable eyes, and Dong Peng was stunned.

Boy, you're about to take off.
