Chapter 427: Oriental Disney [Subscription Requested]
One has only updated two chapters, and it unexpectedly stole the attention of "Sou Shen Ji", and it is clear that the latter is still vigorously promoting it when it is about to be released physically.
Dangdang.com even teamed up with Nanhai Publishing Company to place advertisements on the subways of several major cities, hoping to increase the sales of "Sou Shen Ji" several times.
However, the amount of discussion on the Internet, which has always been high, has been pulled down by its own little disciples!
After the two chapters of "The Legend of Wukong" were updated, the urging party blossomed everywhere, and with an extraordinary method of character interpretation, the familiar "Journey to the West" seemed to have become unrecognizable.
Now they have only one thought in their hearts, that is, why don't they finish writing and send it out, and now after reading two chapters, they can't wait to read the follow-up content out of Zhang Chu's mind, this feeling of being stuck in their throats is extremely uncomfortable.
Such an amount of updates is simply not enough!
"If I can't see the news of Zhang Chu's kid one day, I'm afraid it's because those news media are gone. ”
Zhou Haibo looked at the news in the newspaper and his expression was very pleased.
As the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Jiangdong University, although Zhou Haibo failed to take Zhang Chu into his pocket, he has been silently observing this young man.
Many old friends in the literary world feel that Zhang Chu is a rebel and should focus on the real literary field, rather than only caring about commercial interests.
But Zhou Haibo does not agree with this view, in his opinion, authors of different ages are suitable for writing works with different themes and contents.
Now Zhang Chu is in the prime of life, and the content he writes is in line with the things of young people, if he is forced to write heavy literary content on realistic themes, he has no personal experience, no emotional accumulation, and the things he writes are probably not like the four!
In fact, Zhou Haibo felt that "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was a very big surprise, who would have thought that Zhang Chu, who had been rolling in the field of bestsellers, would be able to write such a connotative academic work that can withstand reading?
At least Yan Da didn't let such a genius go to waste, "If you have the chance, you should go to him and ask, this joined the National Writers Association, but it didn't join our Jiangdong Provincial Writers Association, it's not a thing." It has to be solved. ”
Although Zhou Haibo knew that Zhang Chu's current best-selling ability might not be able to look down on the subsidy of the Writers' Association, he decided to let the staff of the Provincial Writers' Association try it.
You can't let the Yanjing Writers Association rob people, this is the future pillar of Jiangdong's literary circle!
……
It's not yet May, and the scorching heat of the sun begins to bake the earth.
Zhang Chu had already changed into short sleeves at this time and entered the summer time in advance.
In the cafeteria, students with backpacks moved forward in an endless stream with plates, and Zhang Chu swiped three or two taels of rice on his campus card, and then went to buy some other dishes.
The taste here may not be the best, but it is certainly the most convenient, Zhang Chu and his bedroom group found an empty table and sat down, and began to gobble it up.
As a northerner, Anmi prefers to eat steamed buns, holding white-flour steamed buns in his hand, he said: "In two days, your set of "Sou Shen Ji" will be officially released, and my high school classmates always ask me to ask you for autographs. Brother Chu, you do my little brother a favor, help me sign a few copies, and I'll invite you to hot pot when the time comes!"
"That's what you said, I'll go back to the dormitory to sign it when the time comes, but don't ask me for dozens or hundreds. ”
"No, no, it's mainly my high school goddess, she never talked to me, and she took the initiative to add me to WeChat last night. She actually reads your book, and asks me to sign the rest of the books! We said that we will meet at Tsinghua University this Friday and drag the book back!"
Zhang Chu took a bite of the not too delicious kung pao chicken, "Tsk, spring is here, spring is budding." What does your goddess look like?"
Anmi stuffed her mouth full like a hamster, and swallowed the dish before replying: "I won't show you, anyway, my temperament is very good, but I don't understand why she wants to go to Tsinghua University to study civil engineering, and she has to be an architectural designer." ”
"Since you're trying to chase her, you're going to have to give you an assist. I'll give you a sample of "Sou Shen Ji" to sign tomorrow, and you can take it over and give it to her as a surprise first. Then bring the rest of the books she bought to me for autographs, so it will definitely be useful to meet a few more times!"
The kobold military advisor began to come up with bad ideas, obviously he was still a single dog, but he was instructing others.
And Anmi thought it was a good idea, he nodded and said, "Brother Chu, if it happens, I will definitely give you the first credit!"
Yang Ling, who had a girlfriend on the side, silently drank the soup, but he was choked, he coughed lightly twice, and complained: "Anmi, I think it's better for you to find those protective senior sisters, many senior sisters like your little fresh meat." In that way, the success rate of getting rid of the order is greater. ”
Sun Ruiqi just smiled and didn't speak at all, this person had to hit the south wall twice, otherwise how could he meet a suitable person.
While eating, Zhang Chu's mobile phone rang suddenly, he put the spoon on the dinner plate and answered the phone.
"It seems that the last internal preview meeting was not in vain, and the company has now received a large number of applications to negotiate copyrights, which can be regarded as keeping us busy!"
Although Zhou Kang is very tired, he feels that it is worth it, the film and television copyright is so hot, not only "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but even "Journey to the West Diary" and "Sou Shen Ji" have been asked.
Zhang Chu said with a smile: "It's not good to be busy, this is your year-end bonus." Don't be in a hurry about copyright development, and slowly find a suitable one. ”
"You probably don't know what kind of plan Yida Pictures has sent us, they want to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a nationally famous tomb robbery universe, not only to attract locals, but even to foreigners!"
When he first saw this plan in the morning, Zhou Kang was stunned, and the rest of the company was almost the same.
Who would have thought that Yida Pictures was just a pioneer?
"Uncle Zhou, I heard Mr. Tu briefly talk about it that day, what kind of conditions did they give?"
Feelings can be there, but they can't be eaten, and it is impossible for Zhang Chu to pay for the project of Yida Group.
Zhou Kang said in a low voice: "10 million yuan to buy all the copyrights of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City", as well as the right of first refusal to purchase subsequent content. ”
"They want to be beautiful, and they want to grasp all the benefits in their hands for just 10 million. It is impossible to agree to this condition, unless 10 million only buy the film adaptation rights. ”
Several people at the table couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing Zhang Chu's words, and they all strengthened their determination to hug the thighs of the local tyrants, what is just 10 million?
That's pretending!
How many people can't make so much money in their lifetime!
"Everyone is buddy, Zhang Chu, when you pretend to be forced, the light is too dazzling, I am going to be blinded. Anmi said exaggeratedly.
Zhang Chu pursed his mouth, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then pointed at his mobile phone and said, "Uncle Zhou, let's talk about it in detail later, I'll finish lunch first." ”
The cafeteria is indeed not a good place to talk about this, Zhang Chu hung up the phone, and when he looked up, he saw three pairs of round eyes.
Yang Ling spoke on behalf of the three of them, "What new project do you have? It's actually worth 10 million!"
"Ten million is not a big deal, don't be so surprised. Zhang Chu said with a smile, "You use Colgate for toothpaste, Qingyang for shampoo, and Apple for your mobile phone, which is not an international famous brand? Every day, I take millions of buses and tens of millions of subways to class without showing off, and I, a Maserati driver, can't be angry at all." When I think of the fact that you usually maintain cooperative relations with the world's top 500 companies, such as China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, PetroChina and Sinopec, China Mobile, and State Grid, I feel envious. ”
When Sun Ruiqi heard this string of words, she couldn't help laughing, "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that my life has become a lot taller!"
"It's like you don't have a bank card, don't be poor, reveal a little. Yang Ling complained.
"Yida Pictures wants to buy all the peripheral copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", in fact, it is probably because Yida Group wants to become Oriental Disney, and I am favored by this one. ”
Isn't Yida Group doing something about Yida Tourism City recently? Are they trying to build a ghost blowing lantern theme park?"
Yang Ling's head turned very quickly, and with limited information, he immediately guessed the truth of the matter!
With an enduring animation IP, Disney has built a huge entertainment empire from media networks, film and television entertainment, parks and resorts, derivative consumer goods and game entertainment.
Disney's strength is that it has a large number of cultural products with independent copyrights, and it is very rich in the current popular word IP, which is also Yida's weakness!
In order to make up for this weakness, Yida Group is vigorously promoting investment in the cultural industry, and the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is just one of the projects that have been fancied.
They want to buy all the copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", not just to shoot a movie, but to include the entertainment projects and movie peripherals of the Ghost Blowing Lantern series in the project of Yida Tourism City, and it would be better if they could create a unique amusement park tourism project!
This is not only the case in Disneyland, but also in Universal Studios and Warner World.
Although the theme park of Magic City Disneyland has matured, the content in it is all Western, and Yida Group wants to use its own country's unique culture as a trick to win.
However, there are not many IPs that can support such a large project in China, and the range of Yida options is too small.
The tomb robbery universe they conceived has only just come out of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Essence of the Ancient City", and it is still unknown whether it can form a complete universe!
Therefore, it is necessary to be a lot more cautious in the quotation, if five or six books have been published, the price will definitely be different, to put it bluntly, Yida Group is worried that Zhang Chu will not be able to construct this tomb robbery universe.
