Appearance:

After raising enough money from Kim Yong, Summer returned to Fantasy World Magazine.

"President, you're back!" As soon as he came back, everyone enthusiastically gathered around.

"yes, I haven't been back for a long time, come back to see everyone, I'll have dinner at noon. Summer said with a smile.

"Yay!" everyone cheered happily when they heard this.

"Alright, alright, let's go back to work. "Tang Congsheng knows that there are many people busy in the summer, and he will not come back for no reason. When I suddenly come back today, I must have something important to order.

After everyone dispersed, they really listened to Xia, "Editor-in-chief, come with me into the office." ”

Tang Congsheng nodded and entered the office with Summer.

"I went to see Mr. Cha just now, and he told me that there are booksellers who want to publish our novels. Summer said.

"Great, congratulations to the president, I can earn a lot of money again. Tang Congsheng said with a smile.

Summer waved her hand, "Don't be busy rejoicing just yet." Editor-in-Chief Tang, don't you think there's a problem?"

"Question?!Are you talking about the bookseller or Mr. Cha?" Tang Congsheng was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

I don't know what I mean by this sentence, could it be that Jin Yong secretly pumped water and accepted benefits from booksellers?

"No, I mean us. Summer pointed at Tang Congsheng, and then pointed at himself.

"President, what do you mean, I've been conscientious and haven't been lazy. Tang Congsheng saw that Xia Xia pointed out that he had a problem, and immediately shouted.

Although Summer is the president, he has never been at the magazine. He takes care of all the affairs of the magazine, is it easy for him?! Now he is accused by the summer that he has a problem, which really makes him feel very aggrieved.

"I don't mean that. What I want to say is why the booksellers themselves have to come to the door for such a thing as a collection of publications. Why didn't we think about contacting the bookseller before?If we had acted earlier, wouldn't we have made the money earlier?" asked Tang Congshengdao.

After Tang Congsheng listened, he was also stunned for a moment, and felt that the problem pointed out by Xia Xia did exist.

"It's true that I've ignored this question, and I'm sorry the president. Tang Congsheng hurriedly apologized.

"No, I'm not accusing you of being incompetent. Actually, I don't pay enough attention to this matter. Summer waved her hand, "But now that we're aware of this problem, we have to pay attention to it." We didn't even notice such a big business opportunity, and who knows what other opportunities we missed to make money. ”

"What the president said is that I have some ideas when I hear you say that. Tang Congsheng's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled.

"Well, it's really quick. Let's hear it. Summer smiled, although he already had an idea in his mind. But he also wanted to see Tang Congsheng's ability.

"Good. Tang Congsheng nodded, "In fact, there are many channels to make money through novels. Just like Mr. Cha's novels, they were not only serialized in "Ming Pao", but also reprinted by several newspapers in Nanyang and Taiwan, which not only earned Mr. Cha several times his remuneration, but also made Mr. Cha famous. In addition, adapting it into film and television dramas is also very profitable. Many of Mr. Cha's novels have been adapted, which has earned Mr. Cha a lot of copyright fees. And once the film and television drama was launched, it increased his popularity and influence. ”

"President. I'll just think of these two for now. Tang Congsheng then said, "I can contact newspapers in Taiwan and Nanyang to promote our novels." I can also check in with TVB and ATV to see if they would be interested in adapting our novel. ”

"Very well said, if you can say these two points, Editor-in-Chief Tang, you will surprise me very much. Summer clapped her hands and said with a smile. Tang Congsheng is indeed a talent, "But I have one more thing to add, our novel can also be adapted into comics." ”

"Adapted into comics?" Tang Congsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "President." That's a good idea. Our comics in Hong Kong are also selling very well. Like Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, and Ma Rongcheng, their comics are very popular. ”

Summer nodded. He knew that although Hong Kong comics were not as influential as Japanese comics, they were very popular in Hong Kong. Like "Dragon Tiger Gate", "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes", "Crazy Boy" and so on, each issue has sold more than 100,000 copies, and the highest even reaches more than 200,000 copies.

If they adapt their novels into comics, they will definitely achieve very good sales, and they can not only earn a lot of money for their work, but also win a new group of readers.

Summer knows that many popular online novels in her previous life have been adapted into manga, and the number of hits on the Internet is amazing, even surpassing that of Japanese manga.

"Alas, if it weren't for the fact that technology is not developed now, it would be possible to make another copyright fee by adapting it into a game. "Summer is not without regrets.

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I'll leave this matter to you, help me promote it well. The emperor's daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married, and our novel is so popular, it shouldn't be difficult to sell it. Summer commanded.

"Okay, President, I'll leave it to me. Tang Congsheng nodded.

"Okay, if you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit two more people. Xia said again, "Do a good job, I'll discuss it with Mr. Cha when I go back, and push you to be the vice president." ”

"Thank you, President, I will definitely work hard. When Tang Congsheng heard this, he immediately said happily.

……

Leaving the magazine company, he returned to his own world film industry in the summer.

Now that the problem of funding was solved, he let out a long breath, and finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.

The next thing he has to do is deal with the bidding.

Many film companies are interested in Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate" and Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family", and have submitted bids.

Because Xu Guanwen is the king of Hong Kong comedy, the box office has always been very guaranteed. In addition, this time the screenwriter is in the summer, and the box office is naturally worth looking forward to.

Although Lin Zhengying is not a big star, "Zombie Family" takes advantage of "Mr. Zombie", and the box office does not have to worry too much. In addition, this drama is still written, directed and acted by itself in the summer, so the box office is even more guaranteed.

"New Arts City bid 1.5 million, Shaw Brothers bid 1.4 million, and Golden Harvest bid 1.6 million. Yongsheng bid 3.2 million, and Debao bid 3.1 million. Siyuan bid 2.8 million ...... "In the summer, the bids of these companies were dismantled one after another, and the prices were transcribed one by one.

"These theater companies are really stingy enough, can I choose you because I want to accommodate the schedule?" Seeing that the bids of Xinyicheng, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Harvest were obviously much less than those of other medium-sized film companies, he couldn't help but be angry.

Truth be told, if the bids are not much the same. In the summer, I would rather cooperate with the three major cinema operators. Because you can get a better schedule, a better share, and after accounting, you will earn more.

But I didn't expect them to be so excessive, bidding almost half less than other film companies. This made Summer really unbearable, and he would rather get less support from the theater chain, and he didn't want them to take advantage.

"It's really heroic to the Xiang brothers, 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars. That's pretty good. Summer said with relief.

This "Detective Chocolate" is expected to have a local box office of more than 20 million in Hong Kong in the summer. Count the box office of Shanghai takeaway port. The total income will exceed HK$60 million.

Then the profit is six million, and now the highest price is three million and two million, although it is not quite in line with his expectations, but it is not bad. Because there are two more auction opportunities, the price is bound to rise higher and higher.

However, from these bids, it can also be seen in the summer that the three major film companies are not as active in bidding as medium-sized film companies. Obviously, they have a lot of projects in their hands and don't care too much about the gains and losses of one or two projects.

"Wait until my movie is a big hit at the box office. There will be a time when you will regret it. Summer thought to himself, and then he called the heads of several major film companies one by one. The result was announced to them.

Knowing that the first bid was snatched by Yongsheng, and the bid reached 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, several film companies were a little annoyed.

Especially Debao's Cen Jianxun, he regretted it even more. He is very optimistic about Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate", and thinks it has the potential to have a box office of more than 20 million.

That's why he offered a price of 3.1 million. I thought that no one could compare, but I didn't expect the Xiang brothers to be even more ruthless, and they actually paid 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars. was just 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a piece of fat was taken away by others, which made Cen Jianxun really regret it.

"Don't be angry. Mr. Shum. The second round of bidding will begin soon, and you can place another bid. Summer reminded with a smile.

……

Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family", there are also a lot of bidders.

"Golden Harvest 1.4 million, Shaw Brothers 1.3 million, New Art City 1.6 million. Debao 3 million, Yongsheng 3 million, Siyuan 2.5 million ......"

Judging from the bidding, the box office expectations of this film are slightly worse than Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate". However, it is still relatively high.

"Oops, this is a problem. Yongsheng and Debao bid the same, and it seems that the two of them will have to make another bid. Summer patted her head again.

Then call both companies and tell them they need to re-bid.

Knowing that the other party was bidding the same as their own, the Xiang brothers and Cen Jianxun couldn't help but be a little surprised, but they didn't expect the other party to be the same as they thought.

Then, under the guidance of the summer, the auction for the "Zombie Family" became a hit.

The Xiang brothers and Cen Jianxun both estimate that the box office of "Zombie Family" is likely to be around 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the first component is also around 6 million. So for them, as long as the bid is not higher than six million, there is actually money to be made.

Therefore, the two slowly raised the price, and finally Cen Jianxun paid 3.4 million Hong Kong dollars and won this percent of the box office dividend. is 200,000 higher than "Detective Chocolate". (To be continued.) )
