All in all, whether it is poaching people or buying copyrights directly, Zhou Fangyuan is ready to start moving in the comic circle.

And that's just part of all his work.

Zhou Fangyuan is now laying a very large stall, so there are still many parts to pay attention to.

For example, the station, which is also a very important part of Zhou Fangyuan's plan, has exceeded 10 million daily traffic of the website, and the number of paying readers is as high as millions. Of course, this number is actually watery, according to the statistics of the website background, as long as it is a reader who spends money, even if it only costs a penny, it is considered a paying user. Really fixed genuine readers, in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of them, but this is already good, after all, the network has not developed for a few years, although Zhou Fangyuan has carried out website integration, and many small websites have been annexed, but there are still many websites on the Internet, and a large part of them are pirated websites. These websites rely on piracy from the starting point, and then publish it for free, attract pirated users to join, exchange traffic for advertising, and use advertising fees to increase profits, which can be said to be the way for most pirated websites to make money.

The manager of the station suggested to Zhou Fangyuan more than once, whether it is possible to crack down on piracy, now the number of pirated stations is increasing, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, has seriously affected the development of the starting point, according to incomplete statistics, now there are definitely tens of millions of Internet users in the country, even if many people only occasionally see it once or twice, but these people are potential customers after all. A large number of them are attracted to pirated websites, and some people don't even know that the starting point exists, which is a big problem for website management.

Zhou Fangyuan said that it is okay to wait, most of the pirated websites are just starting out, and they have not yet completed the most primitive accumulation. And the market is still small in general, and it is necessary to continue to grow the market bigger, and it is not too late to cut the wool after the network has deeply affected this generation.

Since it was a decision made by him, as his subordinate, he naturally had nothing to say, even if he had a lot of complaints in his heart, he could only endure it. Fortunately, the website has achieved self-sufficiency, although it is even more difficult to make a real profit, after all, the operation and maintenance of the website, wages and remuneration to the author all cost money, especially the author's remuneration, there is a certain amount of financial inclination. That is to say, in order to ensure that the author can stay on his own website, in many cases, as long as the editor recognizes the level of the other party, even if the real sales data is not good, the author's income can be guaranteed in the form of guaranteed remuneration, so as to keep these potential stocks in their pockets.

As a result, the cost of the website is huge, and it is only barely able to make ends meet, and it is very difficult to go further. Of course, Zhou Fangyuan never thought that he would rely on the station to make money at this time, he was not so short-sighted, besides, the existence of the station was more like an incubation device for his plan. The big ones that really make money are Yuanfang Media, Yuanfang Games and Yuanfang Video, and the starting point and Yuanfang Comics' plans are more often in the image of an incubator. Good ideas, good ideas, good ideas, in the form of comics and, after the editor determines its quality and potential, the idea will be handed over to the headquarters, which will be stored in the work library by the headquarters, providing materials for movies, TV series, animation, games and other projects, multi-party linkage, this is the real way to make money, relying on a single website, can also make money, but after all, it is only a small amount of money.

"And it's not as exaggerated as you said, I think the prospect of the station is still very good, by the way, how did the previous essay go, I haven't asked, I remember that you are personally grasping this matter. ”

At present, the general manager of the starting point is a young man named Du Tan, a senior student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Beijing University, and has worked in many magazines, which is a relatively capable young man in China. The previous president has been transferred from this position by Zhou Fangyuan and went to Yuanfang Video to engage in content work, and if you stand, the current status within the group is relatively low, so the other party is a little reluctant to stay here, and Zhou Fangyuan has no choice but to find someone to replace him. However, what about this Du Tan, his work ability is still quite good, and he is young, passionate, and energetic, Zhou Fangyuan determined after a period of investigation that this is the person he wants.

As soon as the two essay contests were launched, Zhou Fangyuan asked Du Tan to personally check at least one of the activities, because this is a very important linkage, if it is done well, it will be a huge improvement for the game, and at the same time, the follow-up work Zhou Fangyuan is also ready, as long as the conditions allow at that time, the film and television plan will be launched immediately.

The reason why he hasn't asked recently is mainly to give the other party more freedom, he doesn't want to be called a boss who "does everything himself", delegate power when he should delegate power, and pick it up when he should pick it up, otherwise he will be allowed to deal with it himself at any time, and the current group affairs will add up to enough to completely crush him in a short period of time.

After hearing Zhou Fangyuan's question, Du Tan reached out and pushed his glasses.

"Dong Chou, I was about to tell you that in this essay contest, we found a lot of excellent works......"

Du Tan began to introduce the details of this essay contest in detail, and through his introduction, Zhou Fangyuan had a deeper understanding of the situation of this event.

There are two essay contests in this time, namely "Journey to the West" and "Legend". The requirement is that the content of the work should be close to the theme, and it should have a direct connection with the two games, and it can be deeply explored through the plot in the game, and it can also be based on the game's setting as the framework for self-creation, but in the final analysis, it is necessary for other readers to quickly realize that these works are born from two online games when they read this article. Especially "Journey to the West", because there is "" Zhuyu in front, one is not good, so that readers think that the work is changed through "", then this essay is meaningless.

Of course, the website can't stipulate how the author must write, but when it comes to the evaluation of works, the website has to get it clear, what kind of works does Zhou Fangyuan need, if he can't figure it out himself, wouldn't it be a big joke? Fortunately, Du Tan knows very well what kind of works Zhou Fangyuan needs, and he personally controls the two essay contests, so he is worried that the people below will mess up.

So far, the results have been encouraging.

"Two essay contests, have completed the first phase of the essay collection, so far we have selected two first-place works, ten second-place works, and thirty third-place works, of which five are suitable for comic adaptation, two are suitable for film adaptation, and three are suitable for TV series change, we have specially hired professional screenwriters to evaluate the change potential of these works, this is the list of works. ”

Therefore, an excellent subordinate is really worry-free.

Zhou Fangyuan just mentioned it casually before, he didn't say it too clearly, he just said that these essay works are not just for essays, if they meet the requirements, he will also make other forms of adaptation, that's just such a sentence, but Du Tan remembered it, and had already gone to the front and took out the content that Zhou Fangyuan needed.

Zhou Fangyuan was very satisfied with Du Tan's behavior, he picked up the final assessment report and roughly flipped through it.

"Mr. Zhou, let me give you a brief introduction, first of all, these works are not perfect, even if it is an adaptation, there are many problems, if you really want to adapt, according to the opinions of the screenwriter we invited, several works suitable for comic adaptation, the main line is a little bit confusing, and there is a lot of learning content in it, if you want to adapt comics, you must adjust the picture. Of the two works adapted from the movie, the first part has too many characters and is easy to confuse the audience, and the second part is too long and must be excerpted to a certain extent. The three works that are suitable for the adaptation of the TV series, which are relatively good overall, but there are also problems. Among them, one has a little more sunny content, one has too much game setting content, and one has too much realistic content...... In short, because these authors are not professional screenwriters, the scripts have certain flaws. If you really want to adapt it, I also asked the screenwriter's opinion, and all the screenwriters said that they can combine the content of multiple works, and the effect may be the best. ”

Du Tan said slowly.

Not only took out what Zhou Fangyuan wanted to see, but even took out the problems and follow-up solutions of these works, Zhou Fangyuan had already decided in his heart that it should be time to give Du Tan more space.

But he was just thinking about this idea, and he was not stupid enough to tell the other party his idea at this time.

He just looked at the contents of the report in his hand and then started asking questions.

"How is copyright composed?"

"According to the contribution part of the respective work, the signature can be co-signed. ”

"How does the adaptation work?"

"Professional screenwriters and authors, it is best to invite well-known directors and film critics to join them, only a certain amount of labor fees are required. ”

"What is the problem with works that do not meet the requirements?"

"In every aspect, some themes are not clear enough, some characteristics are not clear enough, and some characters are not full enough...... Below is an evaluation report for each step, and we have selected the highest-ranked components. ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhou Fangyuan didn't have too many problems, and Du Tan was able to do this step, which had exceeded his expectations.

He put the report down in his hand.

"Du Tan, your opinion is very good, but there is another problem, that is, there are too few optional content. The essay collection will be conducted for two more periods, and the works of the three essays will be added up to the comments, and finally the final plan will be come up. Your idea is very good, and I am very satisfied, but it is not enough, continue to deepen, and if this plan succeeds, you are the greatest contributor. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile, "In addition, I think we should renegotiate your contract, and I am ready to give you 5% of the dry shares." ”

"Really, thank you so much Dong Chou!"

Du Tan's eyes lit up.

The reason why he joined the Yuanfang Group is that he is optimistic about the model of the Yuanfang Group, and many people may not be aware of the benefits of the linkage model of the Yuanfang Group, but Du Tan is obviously not a member of this. After he learned about the model of Yuanfang Group, he had a great interest in this group and took the initiative to apply for employment, because his resume was relatively good-looking, and the personnel department of the group felt that this person's ability was very good and his value was also great, so he sent his application report to Zhou Fangyuan. After Zhou Fangyuan saw it, he decided to hire this person.

Facts have proved that his decision was correct, and Du Tan gave him a certain surprise, so he did not hesitate to reciprocate.

The 5% of the station's dry shares may not seem like a big deal at the moment, but until the station is attached to the entire group. At present, the Yuanfang Group has not fully exerted its strength, and when the group is really running at full strength one day, when the mass manufacturing linkage, the status of the station will gradually improve, and the company's profitability can be expected. In this way, 5% of the dry shares are a lot, just like the future generations, the starting point of the valuation of billions of billions, such a value, 5% of the value of the dry shares, how much is the value of 5% of the dry shares? And this, there is no need for Du Tan to make any investment, what he has to do is to be the CEO of the starting point, and strive to make the website better and better, if it really comes to that day, 5% of the shares in his hands are enough for him to eat and drink for two lifetimes.

Therefore, for Zhou Fangyuan's proposal, Du Tan will not only not be dissatisfied, but will feel very happy and excited.

He used to work in a magazine, even if he did it, how much money could he make?

This is also the difference between network media and traditional media, traditional media, want to develop and grow, that is a full life, need to expand the market, need to advertise, need to let more people know their products, but network media is different, as long as the Internet can connect to the place, their market has been expanded in the past, the rest is to continuously improve their brand reputation among users, so that more and more people know their own brand. So from this point of view, the advantage of Yuanfang Group is here. As long as you have an advantage in one aspect, you can advance it in an all-round way.

The distant game is now the most famous, and through a game essay, the starting point was pushed out.

In the same way, the comic website can also be launched, and the distant media can also provide assistance, all in all, the advantage of the group army operation is to achieve the greatest success at the minimum cost, which Du Tan saw clearly from the beginning, so he resolutely gave up the original good job and joined the distant group. Then with his hard work, he was recognized by Zhou Fangyuan.
