Xiaobao, the author, Sun Quan knows, and at last year's annual meeting of the starting point, they also drank together, so I saw this author in the group and asked him such a question.

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

The makeup photos of "Step by Step" really attracted the attention of some authors, and some authors wanted to sell the film and television adaptation rights of their works to Sun Quan's studio because of this.

This is a bit cool, but he can't fulfill Xiaobao's wishes.

How so?

He has read several of Xiaobao's works before, and the results are good, but if you want to say that they are adapted into movies or TV series, they are not so interesting.

Xiaobao's several works are not top-notch in popularity, and although the story plot is cool, it is not the kind of cool that is suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas.

In Sun Quan's memories before his rebirth, I didn't see any of this Xiaobao's works being adapted into movies or TV series.

Therefore, Sun Quan's expression was a little helpless, and he replied in the group: "Thank you! Thank you for the compliment, our studio still collects the adaptation rights, but, to be honest, I have hoarded the adaptation rights a little too much recently, and I have emptied my studio's funds, so I don't have the money to buy it again for the time being, sorry!"

This is a polite refusal, and he believes that Xiaobao should be able to understand the hidden meaning of his words.

At the same time, this is also the truth, the concept of online IP has not been hyped up in recent years, and the classics in the minds of readers, in addition to the electronic copyright and the physical book publishing right have been signed, and the other adaptation rights are basically in the hands of the author himself.

is also for this reason, except for some great gods and middle god authors, other authors are generally quite poor.

Even the net worth of the great gods is not too rich.

In this environment, Sun's salted fish studio's acquisition of various adaptation rights of online texts has generally gone smoothly.

Except for a very small number of works, as long as his studio wants, he can sign it smoothly.

The author who was found by his salted fish studio was generally very happy, with a good attitude, and he didn't dare to open too high, opening a price of hundreds of thousands, and he was still worried in his heart, for fear that his "lion big mouth" would scare the people of the salted fish studio away.

One of the most direct consequences of the acquisition of the adaptation rights is that the funds on the studio's account are frequently urgent.

The account of this studio is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money Sun Quan injects into it, it won't be long before Fu Lei will report to him again - "Mr. Sun, we don't have much money in our account." ”

Every time he heard Fu Lei report such news, Sun Quan was painful and happy, and deeply realized what the troubles of happiness were.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for my money, but on the other hand, I feel that my studio has more and more adaptation rights in reserve.

Wait a few more years, as long as you wait a few more years, even if you don't do anything, you just need to sell the adaptation rights of these, and you will never have to worry about not having enough money to spend in this life.

As far as he knows, there are more than a dozen adaptations that his Salted Fish Studio is currently hoarding.

Some of them are works of female frequency, and some of them are male frequency.

For example, the female frequency "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Langya Bang", such as the male frequency Blue Cat's "Yu Nian", the Ninth Five-Year "Huiming" and so on.

These are all works that have been adapted into film and television dramas in Sun Quan's memory, and their popularity and reputation are not bad.

Since it is so difficult to buy various adaptation rights of online texts in these years, of course he first chooses the works with good adaptation results in his memory to buy.

Xiaobao: "Hehe, it's okay if you don't have any money at hand now, I can trust you, you just say which of my adaptation rights you want, the adaptation rights can be signed to you first, and the money will be said when it is convenient for you." ”

In the group, Xiaobao replied.

All of a sudden, Sun Quan was numb.

At that time, Sun someone's expression was very stunned, did this Xiaobao classmate really not see that I was refusing? Or did he see it, but he just wanted to kill me?

Sun Quan was still worried about how to respond to Xiaobao's words, and there were suddenly more people speaking in the group.

Sanfeng: "That's right! Lao Sun, are you underestimating the value of your current signboard? You are also a platinum god, and you are still afraid that you will not pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars? ”

Xia Fei: "That's it, you look at the books under my name, which one do you want to adapt to?" Hehe, I'm not in a hurry to ask you for money. ”

Li Wuchang: "Seconded the proposal! Lao Sun, just say it! Who do you want to adapt the right to adapt a book in the group? I believe that as long as you like it, no one in the group will disagree, right?"

Angela: "That's it! I'm okay anyway. ”

Reverse Dragon: "Xia Fei's estimate is no play, although she is a beauty, but in the books written by our male frequency, all of them are multi-female protagonists, the male protagonist is simply a bulldozer, her book, if Lao Sun dares to adapt it into a movie and TV series, it is estimated that Lao Sun will have to go to prison!"

Mowgli: "Hehe, really. ”

Xia Fei: "Hey, I said why are you like this? Aren't you demolishing my stage, I have a lot of heroines, I can delete it!"

Keyboard: "Reject the cut!

Tianya: "Seconded! Who wants to see your deleted version? If you want to adapt it, adapt it according to your original book, otherwise I will call on my fans to boycott your show!"

……

There are more and more well-known authors and even gods bubbling in the group.

Sun Quan could see that most of them were joking.

But he can also see that these people's jokes are not pure, and these guys probably want to sell him the adaptation rights of their works.

Not to mention that his grandson doesn't have such strong funds, even if he has, he doesn't dare to accept so many copies, there are more than 200 authors in this group, all of whom are well-known authors with a certain degree of popularity at the starting point, who doesn't have one or two representative works under his name?

But these works may be successful as an online text, but if they are adapted into film and television dramas......

Sun Quan is very aware of the difficulty of adapting male frequency works, which he saw really clearly and clearly before he was reborn.

In terms of popularity, on the base of book fans, the works of male frequency selling IP, and the IP sold by female frequency, but what is the reaction after filming film and television dramas?

For the authors of the male frequency, the reality is very annoying.

The IP dramas and movies adapted by the female frequency are popular every three or five days, while the TV series and movies adapted by the male frequency are stopped every three or five days.

Is the quality of the work written by the male frequency is not good?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows no.

So what's the problem?

Investment and special effects are the two most critical constraints.

What is written on the female frequency? Most of them are love stories of various themes, when adapting, the hero and heroine find handsome men and beautiful women, dress them up beautifully, and then choose some beautiful scenes, so that the hero and heroine have nothing to talk about love, and occasionally play intrigue and psychological warfare with the supporting actors, mainly invested in the actors' salaries and the investment in costumes.

But what about the adaptation of the male frequency?

The actor's salary and investment in the costume road are not less than that of the female frequency, and a large amount of special effects expenses have to be added.

The audience doesn't buy the five-cent special effects.

If it exceeds five cents, the investor is reluctant to spend money.

But what are most of the works of the male frequency written?

It's not uncommon to blow up a planet with one punch, and don't be too surprised if you don't agree with each other and make the world collapse once.

Even the meals that the protagonist eats ordinarily may have to add some special effects, because the protagonist eats not ordinary food, many of them are natural treasures, and the food made of natural treasures should not be light?

There is also the fighting method of the male frequency works, and the female frequency is on the other side, dancing knives, guns and sticks, everyone compares and compares, ping-pong and pong for a while, and spit out two mouthfuls of plasma.

But the battle on the male frequency side is often dark clouds rolling, and it is common for the male protagonist to fly away, even if he takes knives, guns and sticks into battle, these knives, guns and sticks are generally flying, and they can even get bigger and smaller as they want.

Just ask you about the above pictures, do you add special effects!

Add five cents?

It's a bad drama when it's filmed.

Add a piece?

Do you pay for a dollar? Why don't you grab it when it's so expensive?

Anyway, before Sun Quan was reborn, he hadn't seen an adaptation or movie with special effects for a dollar on the male frequency.

To sum up many reasons, Sun Quan is cautious in purchasing the adaptation rights of male frequency's works.

The works he chooses are generally high-quality works with high popularity and high reputation in history and reality.

It was also for these reasons that he had a little headache when he saw so many well-known authors and even great gods in this author group coming out to speak.

He admits that everyone's work is well written, and the popularity and reputation are fantastic.

But he didn't dare to touch most of the subjects that everyone wrote.

Smiling bitterly again, he spoke in the group: "I'm sorry, everyone! I just received a phone call, I want to go out temporarily, I will escape first, if necessary, I will contact you brothers by private message, and finally thank you brothers for your trust and love, I love you!88"

He chose to escape.

With so many people speaking at the same time, he couldn't resist.

He is indeed interested in the adaptation rights of a few works by a few authors in this group, but now in front of so many people in the group, he dare not say it.

Because no matter how he says in the group which books he wants to buy adaptation rights, others will inevitably be unhappy.

It is better to contact them individually in private.

After posting these words in the group, Sun Quan did not immediately close the chat box of this group.

He's watching everyone's reactions.

Xia Fei: "Hehe, it seems that Lao Sun was scared away by our rush of fire." ”

Octopus: "It's me, I'll be scared away, you're so!"

Xiaobao: "I guess my books are hopeless, and I don't think my books are suitable for TV series." ”

Enchantress: "I guess mine is no play, the military text I wrote, there doesn't seem to be any military text in China that has been adapted into a TV series." ”

Sanfeng: "Mine may not work, I asked Dayu before, Dayu told me that his book "The Legend of Jiading", although Lao Sun accepted it, but Lao Sun also told him that there are too many heroines in his book, which is not easy to adapt, and there are many heroines in my book, hehe. ”
