Sending off William Smith, Adam continued his creative work. At the same time, the Eden novel creation team also finished the early outline creation and officially started the writing of the novel. It can be said that everything is proceeding step by step, without any reason for William Smith. Changes due to visits.

Adam gave them a week, but they had gone through several rounds of negotiations. On the sixth day of the given time, William Smith Keline finally conveyed their proposal-they were willing to sell 50.00% of the shares Give Adam, let Adam absolutely control the "California Times", but Adam needs to contribute 1000 million as the acquisition cost, and this part of the cost is used to repay the debt and compensate the losses of some directors.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Adam didn't want to worry too much about it, so he completed the acquisition with the help of Tonares. Since then, Adam has had an additional newspaper office under his command.

However, although Adam took the newspaper company into his pocket, he didn't intend to make too many changes to the newspaper company. After all, he was just a newcomer to the newspaper company, and it wasn't appropriate to give random pointers, and he wasn't that Spend a lot of time and energy on this, and if you have the time and energy to write a book or something, it is fun and easy, and you can make money.

So Adam still handed over the newspaper to William Skeleton, and only carried out control operations in the general direction. The specific normal operation of the newspaper was still carried out by William Skeleton. Although the "California Times" almost screwed him up this time, but It cannot be denied that he still has some abilities, not to mention that after going through such things, William Smith Kell can be regarded as being subdued by Adam. Compared with strangers, it is more appropriate and reassuring to hand over to someone he is familiar with and capable.

After taking down the newspaper, Adam mainly did three things. The first thing was to announce the matter directly on the front page of the "California Times", and then announced that in order to thank the readers for their support, the "Witcher" extra article "Sord's Revenge" " will officially start serialization on Thanksgiving Day, and this time the serialization will not be like the last time, only half of the serialization, and then published. Of course, publication is still required, but only after the serialization ends.

The second thing is to inform the Eden novel creation team about this, and let them prepare for serialization. Adam’s initial plan is to update three chapters a week, which is the same as the original "Witcher". After all, the novel is not a TV series or a comic. The time is too long, so it is too much to test the patience of readers. Three chapters a week and then collected on weekends will not only help readers to read, but also have a harvest and pave the way for the update of new chapters next week.Of course, this approach will put more pressure on the Eden creative team, but the extra episode is not a true story, and there are too many considerations. As long as the story is coherent, the writing is decent, and the plot is reasonable and fascinating, it is enough.Maybe this workload is difficult for traditional writers, but for a six-person working group, the initial time will be a little tight, and it will naturally ease down when it is on track, so Adam is not too worried.

The third thing is to tell Lydia to recruit novel assistants for the second time. Adam is planning to further expand the size of the studio, and this time not only male novel assistants, but also female ones. With such a good platform, it is also planned to develop the novel studio in the direction of collective creation like Marvel DC.

Adam mainly divides the novels to be published in the future into two types. One is the physical book published under the name of Adam, which pays more attention to the literariness and quality of the novel. Serialization is used to test whether the novel is popular with readers. If it is popular, then continue. If the unpopularity has not improved for several months, and the novel itself has some problems, then end it and open a new one. If the novel can be welcomed by readers, then naturally It would be best if the serialization continues, and after the serialization is over, it will be republished to reap the benefits. Of course, if the subject matter is suitable and the popularity is enough, it is not impossible to carry out copyright operations.

By the time of the Internet age, these are all valuable talents who will help Adam create a steady stream of novel copyrights. You must know that the most lacking thing in the 21st century is IP copyrights. With these Adams, even if they rely on copyright income, they will be enough. Earn a lot, after all, after the 21st century, the rights and interests of novel writers have been paid more and more attention, and they can also get a share of copyright development.

With the addition of special effects, the storytelling of Hollywood movies has generally declined. Various IP movies and IP universes have been launched one after another, but this is not to blame for Hollywood. After all, they are capitalists, and the main direction is naturally to make money. Basically, it is enough to guarantee a part of the income. If the story is good enough to attract ordinary audiences, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to lose money.

It’s okay to say that an original film is successful, but it’s a blood loss if it fails. For the film company, this is not a multiple-choice question to consider. Therefore, Lionsgate, which has IP in hand in later generations, is so powerful that it can bloody the seven majors. , Lionsgate without IP support is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. Small costs are fine, but the above big costs are the rhythm of blood loss.

The seven most profitable Disney Star Wars, Marvel, and fairy tales support the main revenue. Warner has DC and Harry Potter to continue to attract money. Fox relies on the X-Men and Sony Spider to support the market. This old brand can still hold the market, and Paramount is pulling 007 and Transformers to survive, so a sustainable development of IP is very important for a film company in the 21st century, which is why the authors of popular commercial novels in the 21st century The main reason for more and more right to speak.

……

November 1992 has just begun, and the media industry is in trouble again, creating a whirlwind of wizards in July, and then the "California Times", which quickly flopped, married Adam Baker, the creator of "The Witcher", without anyone guessing. , pushed this most legendary young man in the 90s, but this time no one directly spoke out to ridicule, but looked at it coldly, whether this young man who had repeatedly created miracles could continue his legend.

Along with the news of the "California Times" changing ownership, it is the news that the "Witcher" extra episode will be published in the "California Times" for serialization. It has little to do with them, but "The Witcher" launched an extra episode on the hottest channel, which made everyone's eyes widen, and the title of the extra episode "Sord's Revenge" directly aroused their desire to watch, After all, Thord is not an unknown person. In the main story of "The Witcher", he is a character who runs through the entire first book. If you ignore the actual protagonist and just read the first part of "The Witcher", you can know that Thord is The real protagonist behind the scenes, he guides everything, and the novel ends with his death.

As for the task of Sood, it is also extremely controversial, and his death has made many emotional readers cry. Therefore, Soud is officially used as the protagonist to start the extra chapter, so that readers who like "The Witcher" have no objection at all. possible.

Although there are some people who worry about whether Thord, who is behind the scenes, will be pulled to the front stage, will lose his image in the readers' minds, but this is just a small number of readers' unfounded worrying thoughts, and more are excited and excited about this news.

As for how this excitement and excitement are reflected, it can be seen from the number of subscribers of the "California Times". Originally, because the sales of the "California Times" had no selling point, the number of regular subscribers dropped to just over 20, and the sales also dropped to 40. Ten thousand.

However, after the news of the "California Times" change of ownership and the news of "The Witcher" extra-part, in just one week, the number of subscribers in the early 20s rose directly to 30, and the sales volume also soared to 50. It is conceivable that waiting until Thanksgiving That week, the sales will have a spurt effect, and it has to be said that Adam's influence on readers is now unimaginable.

So everyone's eyes widened, wanting to see if the extra chapter of "The Witcher" could pull the "California Times" back to the hot situation in the summer. The newspapers in the industry that were originally planning to give up because of the ineffective serialization also followed suit. He took a wait-and-see attitude and continued to renew the contracts of many writers. I have to say that this practice has once again boosted Adam’s reputation in the industry. It can be said that Adam’s reputation and popularity in the industry have been directly promoted to an unmatched level because of this incident. The word-of-mouth exploded, especially among middle and lower-level authors.

However, Adam had expected these external reactions, so after hearing William Smith's excited reply, Adam did not react too strongly, but said something in a slightly lower tone, and when he calmed down, he hung up. phone.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Adam treated William Smith so perfunctorily. It’s because he was so busy during this period. After recruiting two new fiction groups, Adam needed to train them before writing, because Adam’s needs for them were different from theirs. The original experience and experience are completely different, but the Eden novel creation team is busy updating and cannot spare time.

Ever since Garden of Eden officially announced the news of the serialization, all of them have tensed up, and all the staff look stressed, but it's normal. The side story they created is a super super super that can sell tens of millions a month. It can be said that tens of millions of readers are paying attention to the episodes of best-selling books. They cannot make the slightest mistake, otherwise they are destined to be hit by endless saliva.

Since they need to create three chapters a week, Adam suggested that they create three chapters at a time. Every three chapters have a plot turning point or breaking point. Out of control, every day before leaving work, we have to jointly discuss the content of creation, dig deep and finally confirm that there is no need to change, and this is the end.

Among them, the comic group added that in addition to their participation in the discussion of the plot, they also had to draw simple plot comics for the content of creation. Every character that appeared had a detailed picture of the character, and weapons and witchcraft had to be realized. and so on, although most of their work may not appear in newspapers, but their work has greatly promoted the development of novels, and can also make initial preparations for the release of comics in the later period.
