The next morning, inside the office.

Wang Yan, who has just finished updating "Abnormal Creature Observations", habitually logs in to Twitter.

After ignoring some messages such as "quick update" and "please eat", he looked directly at the first place on the popularity list.

Sure enough, the staff had already done what he asked to put Stephen?? The news that Kim is going to serialize his work on the website has made headlines.

"Stephen?? Mr. Kim: "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Prison Break" and "Prison Break Special Forces"?

"Ha, what do you think Stephen?? Kim can only write that kind of heavy stuff? Please, go see "Walking with You"!"

"My favorite is The Shining!"

"'Miracle in the Green' is also very good. ”

"But what I want to see on the website is a 'cool' work, not an outdated one!"

"Also not optimistic about Stephen?? Kim's serialized works on the website are too inconsistent in style. ”

Wang gradually looked at the comments, thinking about the first draft of "The Mist" he saw, and shook his head.

"A master writer writing cool essays will definitely open your eyes. ”

Thinking of the time comes, the expressions of these people who can't stop it, the corners of Wang Yan's mouth curl slightly.

But after only a moment, his expression suddenly collapsed.

Because, Wang gradually saw the information in second place.

He frowned and clicked the mouse to enter the topic area.

"Well, is the funny way of 'Anomalous Creature Observations' really appealing to the mentally ill?" Wang gradually sighed.

"What kind of spirit can make a group of people seriously discuss for so long, and let one person come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars for inexplicable reasons?"

Wang gradually shook his head, feeling that if he continued to look at it, his IQ would also be affected.

He casually closed the topic area, got up and left, and went to prepare for the upcoming listing ceremony.

It's just that Wang gradually didn't notice that at the moment of closure, a large number of replies suddenly appeared in the topic area.

"$500 has been received, thank you to the book friend from California. ”

"I received $800 and I'm about to leave my hometown. ”

......

Manhattan, inside the office building of the Disney Press.

A young staff member hurriedly walked into the editor-in-chief's office.

"Editor-in-chief," he gasped, "there's another big move." ”

The old white man frowned and looked at the young man: "What kind of big move? It's nothing more than an online media tool under its umbrella, which is about to go public with the help of Wall Street." ”

"What are the number of television sets and how many computers are there in the United States now? Wall Street doesn't understand the media at all!"

The editor-in-chief added disdainfully, "What does it have to do with us when we talk about media issues?"

"We only need to collect literature that can be easily adapted into films, and the headquarters will not give us a dollar less. ”

"It's not a matter of going public. The young man interrupted the editor-in-chief's tirade, "Is it Stephen?? Kim..."

"Stephen?? Kim is going to publish his work on it!"

"Stephen?? Kim?" The editor-in-chief suddenly got up and knocked the coffee on the desk to the ground.

If the Big Six of Hollywood choose their favorite authors, the first place is undoubtedly Stephen?? Gold.

His works are simply a representative of the acclaimed and popular after the adaptation of literary works into film and television dramas.

Even "The Shawshank Redemption," which was considered the first box office failure, is now ranked first on the national videotape sales charts.

You must know that its competitor is the most popular "Forrest Gump" in the United States!

"Has the news been confirmed?" the editor-in-chief asked in a serious tone as he walked over to the young man.

"The news was first released from Twitter. The young man peeked at the editor-in-chief and saw that the other party had no time to care about his own twitter game.

Then, he continued: "At the moment, our staff is contacting Stephen?? What about Mr. Kim's agent. ”

At this time, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

The editor-in-chief walked briskly back to his desk and picked up the phone.

"What?Stephen?? Kim's "The Mist" is confirmed to be serialized on it!"

At this time, this big man in the publishing industry recalls the past events of last year in his mind.

Because of the different interests of several other publishing houses, Disney and Simon were in the matter of sniping at the beginning. Schuster has done little to no work.

He waved at the young man, and he walked slowly to the window, looking at the Manhattan street below.

After half a ring, the editor-in-chief muttered, "It's time to pay attention." ”

In an office building not far from here, it is Simon, who is also one of the six major publishing houses and has a similar nature to Disney. Schuster Press.

The difference is that Disney Press is backed by Walt Disney, while Simon?? Schuster Publishing is backed by the Viacom Group.

In the editor-in-chief room of this publishing house, the scene from Disney just now is also repeated.

The editor-in-chief put down the phone call to Penguin Press and said hatefully, "Short-sighted!"

"If it doesn't affect the market for reference books and biographies, aren't you going to do something?"

"And Random House, which actually chose to cooperate with each other!"

"Although the sales of "Arcane Throne" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are good, the adaptation rights are not in hand!"

At this time, the phone that had just been put down rang like crazy again.

The editor-in-chief picked up the phone in an irritated mood, "What?

"Get it right in. ”

A minute later, the editors-in-chief of the two publishing houses, which aim to adapt literary works into film and television dramas, were connected.

The first thing they said was, "Did you hear that? Stephen? Kim's thing!"

After an awkward silence, Disney's editor-in-chief sighed, "The fact that the New York Times published the adaptation rights to 'Miracle in the Green Mile' has made Mr. Eisner very angry. ”

Simonster's editor-in-chief rubbed his forehead: "Mr. Lei Shidong ordered us to take down Stephen as much as possible??" Kim's adaptation rights. ”

"That's... Let's talk to Stephen again?? Mr. Kim, tell me about it?"

"It's useless, Stephen?? Kim is distressed because of the adaptation of the work. ”

His agent replied that if he wanted "The Fog", he had to choose the producer and director according to his wishes. ”

"And, hand over the final editing rights. ”

This... It's not at all something that the editor-in-chief of the publishing house can decide.

"So, let's go talk to you?"

"I had already called, and they said that the young Asian was preparing for the IPO. ”

"And it's very heavily influenced by Wall Street. ”

"The relationship between Wall Street and Hollywood..."

Simon?? Schuster's editor-in-chief didn't go on.

Disney's editor-in-chief sighed, "I have one more year to get my pension." ”

"And you've only just become editor-in-chief, right?"
