"Don't you know, in recent days, the employees of our company have been complaining one by one, and they are responding to the personnel department asking for a few more people to share the work!"

Ye Shumei sat in the office and reported to her boss, and she looked radiant.

Zhang Chu was called by her to discuss the adjustment of the royalty ratio of "In the Name of the People", and by the way, take a look at the freshly produced video of the second season of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year".

The secretary who walked in with two bottles of Nongfu Spring mineral water was probably a newcomer, and looked at Zhang Chu curiously, as if it was some great character.

Zhou Kangyan summed it up succinctly: "Our side has a tougher attitude, insisting on 18% and not letting go, and Nanhai Publishing Company is only willing to give 16%. ”

The negotiations are at an impasse, and no one is willing to give in easily!

Zhang Chu thought for a while and said, "After working together for so long, I don't want to change publishing companies often. ”

If a writer changes publishers frequently, it is not a good thing for readers, especially those who want to collect the complete collection of their works.

"In fact, we are also testing the attitude of Nanhai Publishing Company, if they think that 15% is the top, then there is no need to cooperate. But now it seems that they still agree to increase the share from 15% to 16%, which is certainly not the bottom line. ”

"You should grasp this scale, and if you can, try to make the cooperation possible. After all, this book has been written for a long time, and dragging it out is not a solution. ”

Ye Shumei shook her head: "It is estimated that you are spoiled by the efficiency of Nanhai Publishing Company, except for a very small number of writers, how many people can complete it within a month or two from submitting their works to meeting readers? ”

"I'm just afraid that the readers of the physical book will be emotional. Now that the finale of the online version is out, if they wait for three or five months, I'm afraid my new book will already come out. ”

Zhou Kang said soothingly: "Don't worry. In fact, what is even more panicked is the Nanhai Publishing Company, without our pressure, they themselves will be in chaos. Because in recent days, various physical bookstores and online bookstores have been asking for "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", and if they want to reprint, they have to agree with us!"

Obviously, "In the Name of the People" is particularly popular, but it is "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" that is out of stock.

The effect highlighted in it is very good, and "Wanli Fifteen Years" is on the sales list of several major Internet bookstores such as Goudong Book City, Dangdang Bookstore, Amazon, and China Book Online!

There is little stock in the various bookstores for this historical work.

Even the Nanhai Publishing Company is the same, there is not much preparation in the warehouse at all.

The sales of a long stream of water are almost reprinted once a year or two, and who knows that this time it will become popular with the east wind of the new book!

Even works like "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" can be sold for a big rejuvenation, so who can guarantee that the sales of "In the Name of the People" will not be like this?

For this theme and this gimmick, it is not difficult to adapt it into a film and television work.

If the production team is strong, then this TV series is really likely to lead a small topic.

The ratings and the topic explosion need to rely on fate, and no one can say it in advance!

After being made into a TV series, there is naturally no need to worry about the sales of this original work.

That's why Zhou Kang is so calm.

Is there a time when Zhang Chu's film and television copyright is not selling?

Now "Norwegian Wood" has so many film and television companies chasing, and since "In the Name of the People" can be published, and it is such a well-known main theme, as long as it is made into a TV series, as long as it does not deliberately portray sensitive content, the radio and television side will not be stuck.

This is the kind that is promoting the spirit of the central government's anti-corruption and clean government, and it is worth vigorously promoting!

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Look at the cartoon of the rabbit, I don't know what the quality of this season is, but don't slip down!"

The total number of hits of Nabun on several major video sites in the last season has reached a terrifying 800 million, although it is not worth mentioning the tens of billions of views of those online dramas, which can be allocated to each episode is tens of millions.

The number of hits on the cartoon is high, and the evaluation is also very high, countless rabbit GIFs have been made by fans, and even QQ and WeChat have put on the shelves a special rabbit emoji, and if you want to use it, you have to pay to download it.

Although it only costs 1 yuan, it adds up to a lot of money.

The popularity of video animation has also driven the sales of comics, and the rabbit that has been published for half a month on the smart comics has successfully pitted hundreds of thousands of readers, and there are people shouting all day long to urge the change.

Sometimes on the street, Zhang Chu can see young people wearing rabbit cultural shirts, or hanging rabbit trinkets on school bags.

In the airport, there are rabbit dolls and U-shaped pillows, and the pillows are actually selling quite well.

These are all products authorized by Hanlin Culture Media, involving all aspects of life!

Just like in the office now, Zhang Chu's stationery sets on this job are also jointly produced by Chenguang and Natu, a bit like Disney licensing to other companies, although the scale is very different.

The second season of the rabbit has not been officially updated, Zhang Chu came to watch it directly after the animation company finished it, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to the company.

In order to prevent the video source from being leaked in advance, Hanlin Culture Media is relatively strict in this regard.

After Zhou Kang unlocked the video, he walked out with Ye Shumei, leaving the office to Zhang Chu and letting him watch the animation by himself.

When the familiar opening song appeared, Zhang Chu held his chin and watched it with relish.

Although they all tell the same story, there are slight differences when he draws the manga, and there are differences when the manga is transformed into an anime, so it seems that there are two feelings of familiarity and strangeness.

This season is about diplomacy.

When the bald eagle and the hairy bear became more and more disgusted with the halo of the protagonist created by the rabbits, they spread the so-called rabbit threat theory everywhere, and no one dared to deal with the rabbit now!

Just when the rabbit is depressed, the figure of the hippopotamus appears by chance!

One of them heard that the rabbit was considering sponsoring a construction project for them, and he couldn't help but stand up and ask the rabbit to help him build the railway.

In fact, this corresponds to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Africa.

"It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it, it should be ready to be sent!"

Zhang Chu said to himself, he was planning a surprise attack.

Now there is no publicity for the news of the second season of the rabbit, and even fans don't know that the second season has already produced the first episode.

He found a software on the computer to take screenshots from the video to make GIFs, saved the opening part, and then sent it to Weibo!

……

"It's boring, why haven't you updated anything. ”

Xu Yang leaned his head back in the chair, holding the mouse in one hand and the keyboard with the other, and he had been in this position for almost two hours.

Obviously the document is open, but he just doesn't want to code!

Except for the lack of codewords, all the other operations on the computer are basically done.

The chat is cold, several author groups, several reader groups, and former classmates are silent, as if there is no one alive, everyone is competing to see who can dive longer.

I really don't know what to play if I play games.,Anyway, he doesn't like the popular games very much.,Turn GTA5 off Steam and play for a while.,The old laptop reminds him with a hot and whirring fan.,Don't take chances.,Maybe you won't be able to turn on the machine for a while!

WeChat, Weibo, Sticker, Commentary, and Zhihu have also been brushed all over, and Xu Yang can't wait to have a lot of new things to pass the time today.

Once people are bored, no matter what they do, they can't lift their spirits.

The chase has not been updated, the American drama is still in the winter break, and Dongying's anime doesn't know what the situation is, and all the boring things seem to have come together.

Xu Yang yawned, and he said to himself: "It seems that this Nestle coffee is a bit fake, and it is useless to drink two bottles." Sure enough, it's cheap and not good. ”

As a full-time online writer, Xu Yang is also trying to make himself petty bourgeoisie.

For example, he once bought a home coffee machine on the Internet, thinking that it would be as comfortable as it was on TV, but then he threw it aside to get ashes.

Just when he was bored, a message from Zhang Chu suddenly came out of Weibo.

[It's so cool to watch the rabbit animation first, who knows who watches it!]

"What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" is so popular on the Internet, of course Xu Yang has also seen it.

I didn't finish the comics, but I just watched the first few issues.

But in terms of animation, there is not a single episode left out of 12 episodes!

"Are you bored to see the rabbit?" Xu Yang's mobile broadband was a little stuck, and the GIF waited for a few seconds before it started to move.

And this surprised him a little.

It doesn't seem like the first season!

Could it be that the second season of the rabbit is coming?

The original drowsiness was gone, and after repeatedly checking this GIF and enlarging it, Xu Yang was sure that he definitely hadn't seen this title!

Clicking on the comments below, netizens are also boiling, almost believing that this is a preview!

"Teacher Zhang, I advise you to be a good person, you have to share good things with everyone, and quickly spit out the second season of that rabbit to us!"

"When is the second season going to be broadcast? I was in tears when I saw the first season. ”

"I have no regrets in this life and enter China, and I will still be planting flowers in the next life~~"

"Is a person good-looking?"

"You finally remembered the rabbit on the shore of Daming Lake.,I haven't seen your serialized comics for two consecutive issues.,Are you going to pit?"

"Season 2 is finally here!"

"Crying blind, my bunny has finally returned!"

Xu Yang flipped through the rabbit's official blog, and the editor of the Buddhist department did not reveal the content of the second season of the animation at all, or Zhang Chu sent a moving picture.

He just hopes that this is not a slippery fan.

Since the rabbit is going to be broadcast again, are you embarrassed to delay the draft?

Xu Yang closed the Weibo web page, switched the ORD file that he had opened before, and after glancing at the white background, he decided to play for a while.

……

"Borrow the east wind, and this east wind is really coming!"

Ye Shumei was overjoyed, she was worried that she couldn't find a way to put pressure on Nanhai Publishing Company, and now these companies sent it to the door themselves.

Large enterprises, state-owned enterprises, listed companies, leading companies in the film and television industry, and large cultural companies all came to contact them.

The domestic film and television industry is an era of capital surging, hot money is pouring in, and everyone inside and outside the circle wants a piece of the pie!

These funds are used to invest in the rest of the TV series, and we still need to wait and see, but if you invest in Zhang Chu's works, it will be a sure profit!

Ye Shumei didn't open her mouth to find investment, these investors actually ran over by themselves, especially generously stated, and said that they must invest, no matter who shoots it, they must bear part of the cost.

Almost 50 companies have communicated with Hanlin Culture Media, which shows the appeal of Zhang Chu's golden signboard.

Unlike the situation on the earth, Zhang Chu is much more well-known than the original author Zhou Mason!

Although the physical book "In the Name of the People" has not yet been published, its fame and readership are several times higher than that of the original time and space.

According to Ye Shumei's idea, she is ready to license the IP of this part, who knows that it is too popular!

Even the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Golden Shield Film and Television Center of the Logistics Support Department have joined in, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

"Brother Zhou, you must also know the current situation. I thought, since everyone wants to invest in this TV series, why don't we get involved? Participate in it with the right to use the IP as capital, and find a few reliable companies to form a game together. ”

It's probably like flipping a stock and turning yourself into a shareholder.

Zhou Kang was a little hesitant, "We have never participated in the production of a film and television project like this, will this be a little beyond our business scope?"

At the beginning, Hanlin Culture Media was actually equivalent to a small brokerage company that served Zhang Chu alone.

But now it seems that they have to participate in the investment of hundreds of millions of projects, and the business development seems to have gone astray.

Ye Shumei shook her head: "We are a cultural company, since we have already invested in the cartoon of the rabbit, why can't we invest in the TV series in the name of the people?

"If a TV series is filmed, but it can't be sold or the cost can't be recovered, isn't it a loss?" Zhou Kang thinks it's better to be safe, tens of thousands of TV series will be filmed this year, but only hundreds or thousands of episodes appear on major TV stations.

The vast majority of TV dramas have no chance to meet the audience at all!

Losing money is the norm, and making money is a rare thing.

Ye Shumei also knows the risk problem, "So we have to find a suitable and reliable company and production team! When the time comes, they will go to the TV station to sell, and we will honestly follow behind and learn by the way." ”

She pointed to the list of companies counted by the secretary, focusing on the two film and television centers that were really official backgrounds.

"With the escort of these two film and television centers, coupled with the sword of Shang Fang obtained by Zhang Chu, there is almost no policy risk. Don't you think this kind of subject matter is appealing to the general audience?"

Zhou Kang shook his head, "I haven't seen an anti-corruption drama on TV for a long time, and there will definitely be viewers who are willing to watch it." Otherwise, let's study it again, maybe it will be a good opportunity to enter the film and television industry!"
