Chapter 434: Milestone (Ask for Subscription)
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Huaiming fell into contemplation, and he slowly digested the shocking news that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" actually has all-round cooperation with Yida Group!
First, why can it attract the top domestic real estate companies?
Zhang Huaiming was puzzled, until he opened the browser and searched for the recent news of Yida Group, and then he had a bold guess.
"Yida Group calls Disney, are they going to build the ghost blowing lantern into a theme park?"
The speculation is getting closer and closer to the truth, but Zhang Huaiming is a little unbelievable, he didn't know that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" had such potential, and he was worried that the works on the theme of tomb robbery would not be able to support such huge expectations!
"Menglong Media is too good at fooling, so quietly I want to make a big news, whether it is successful or not, it should be good news for sales. ”
……
At this time, Zhang Chu himself was sitting on the table next to Zhou Kang, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What does the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House say?"
"What else can I say, it's nothing more than asking you to hurry up and write the manuscript. Zhou Kang rubbed his temples, "Actually, if you write "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2", it will also be a huge bargaining chip for our negotiations with Yida Group, proving that you can write this series well and prove that you can build the tomb robbery universe well." ”
Zhang Chu also didn't want to miss this opportunity to cooperate with Yida Group, and now both of them are very willing to cooperate, but there are serious differences in the distribution of interests.
Yida Group wants to buy out all the copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in one go, and the price has even reached 20 million yuan, Zhang Chu only needs to provide follow-up content, and the specific operation is completely impossible to interfere with!
However, Zhang Chu is very clear about the potential of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", not to mention that he is ready to write "Notes on Tomb Robbery", which are two mountains in the tomb robbery genre.
Just 20 million wants to buy out, it's too much to underestimate him, at least now counting the income of various channels, Zhang Chu's net worth is more than that.
If the tomb robbery theme park can really be built well, if the movies, TV series, stage plays, anime, games, audio books, radio dramas, and peripheral products of the ghost blowing lantern and tomb robbery notes can be successfully developed, the total value that can be generated is very amazing!
What he wants is cooperative development, not a one-shot deal, and he can hand over these copyrights to Yida Pictures to take care of, but he must have a 5% sales dividend.
It is more difficult to falsify sales dividends, after all, the sales are over there, and it is easy to find out.
There is a lot of room for profit dividends, so Zhang Chu doesn't consider profit dividends at all, even if he lowers the proportion of sales dividends!
Yida Group plans to invest billions of yuan in this IP to build, and Zhang Chu wants to get sales dividends with one IP, and they don't want to agree.
As a result, the two sides are now at a stalemate, and even after eight rounds of negotiations, no agreement has been reached.
The Ghost Blowing Lantern series is a tomb robbery expedition with the theme and an independent world view, each of which has a new story development, and it is a series, with a very high adaptation value.
Yida Group doesn't want to have any copyright disputes, so it wants to take down the adaptation rights of several works of Ghost Blowing Lantern in one go, and it is not smart enough to buy the copyright of only one alone, they have an overall business development concept.
Determine it early, it will help build the brand of ghost blowing lantern as soon as possible, Zhang Chu sighed and said: "Don't worry, I'll find time to write, now you have to let me take a good rest!"
He was already a little tired, although he had the original work as a reference, he didn't copy and paste it word for word.
After Zhou Kang heard Zhang Chu loosen his mouth, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Don't think about the rest of the works now." If you have an idea, write it down in a small notebook and write it down later. ”
"Are you so afraid that I'll write the rest of the book?" Zhang Chu said jokingly.
"It's true, now that the update speed is so fast, some netizens have predicted that you will drop out of Peking University. If you really dropped out of school because of writing books, your father would have to come to Yanjing with a knife! ”
Zhang Chu also plans to take this opportunity to settle down, after all, he is busy writing so many things in one go, both he and the reader need to take a slow.
He came to Menglong Culture Media Company this time to sign a few books for "Sou Shen Ji" to forward the lottery on the Internet, but he didn't expect to encounter these things.
"The few shouts you shouted on the Internet are still quite useful, if nothing else, the champion of "Sou Shen Ji" is stable, and the reputation and evaluation are quite good!"
This did surprise Zhou Kang, he thought that this fantasy work would encounter bad reviews, but he didn't expect the book reviewers to be merciful and give many praises.
In the past, when books were serialized, there was no movement from book reviewers, and they didn't want to write a book review for an Internet.
It wasn't until some time ago, after the physical books were printed, that the Nanhai Publishing Company arranged a set of physical books to be sent to those book critics.
It takes a lot of time to read the whole six books, and it was already sent when the pre-sale opened, but now I have finally finished reading them one after another and writing my own evaluation.
At least on the surface, it is very dedicated, not perfunctory.
It's rush hour after work, and Zhang Chu doesn't want to be stuck in traffic for dozens of minutes or an hour, so he just sits down in the office of Menglong Culture Media and plays with his mobile phone.
Zhang Chu looked at the larger and larger brokerage companies, he had more and more of an idea of wanting to jump out and work alone, and he had been working for others, why not work for himself?
Anyway, there are almost no things that Menglong Culture Media can bring to themselves, and the so-called resources and channels are all those books written by themselves who took the initiative to come to the door after they became popular.
Instead of giving a 10% share of each project, it is better to run it yourself, on the one hand, you can take yourself as the absolute core, and on the other hand, you can also play a role in avoiding taxes and making money.
This thought quickly rose in his mind, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, after all, he had never been exposed to this kind of thing in two lifetimes!
But this seed has taken root and sprouted, and sooner or later it will grow into a towering tree.
Hiding the idea of self-reliance in his heart, Zhang Chu looked at the comments on the mobile phone screen.
Book friends still like "Sou Shen Ji", and Douban Reading has a score of 8.7 points, which is very good in fantasy fantasy!
After all, the overlap between Douban reading users and Internet users is not high, so the two have a feeling of not getting used to each other, one thinks others are too white, and the other thinks others are too literate.
And they have reached an aesthetic consensus on the "Sou Shen Ji", the readers who participated in the pre-sale have been getting the book for almost a week, and it has been two or three days since the official release, so those who read it quickly actually gnawed the whole book.
Netizen Shangjie Si Ming likes this work very much, and he gave a five-star full score on Douban Reading, "Marvel at Zhang Chu's literary skills, this book is probably the first in Chinese mythology and fantasy!"
This review, which has been endorsed by more than 1,000 readers, is the most popular one, and speaks to the hearts of readers.
Netizen Mai Zi also gave a five-star praise, he wrote: "I am always moved by the tragic supporting roles, the overall structure is also superb, with a martial arts-like style, the plot is also very compact, good book!"
Netizen Otaro Koshiro gave a four-star review, "People's imagination is really omnipotent, this is a good book, but there are still certain flaws, such as the entanglement between the protagonist and those female characters makes people feel a little overdone, and the power of the Tuoba magnet is too great." ”
Since the new book has only been released recently, the number of reviews is only a few thousand, but it is still mostly five-star, four-star and many, and there are also one-star and two-star stars, and the word-of-mouth has a polarizing trend.
Netizens still like "Sou Shen Ji" after all, and many netizens who chased the serialization at the origin couldn't help but run to Douban Reading to see the specific evaluation, on the one hand, they were afraid of being spoiled, but on the other hand, they were eager to know what the follow-up plot was!
Among so many comments, Qin Feng, a well-known book reviewer, directly used his Weibo account to post relevant book reviews on Douban Reading and his Weibo homepage, praising "Sou Shen Ji".
[The whole book of "Sou Shen Ji" is based on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", blending ancient Chinese myths and stories, with the help of the author Zhang Chu's amazing imagination and epic brushstrokes, to build a magnificent ancient wilderness world for us!
The whole work is unbridled in imagination, vivid and smooth writing, ups and downs in the plot, humorous in rhetoric, whimsical but in line with historical facts, uninhibited but soft, it is a rare fantasy masterpiece.
More importantly, "Sou Shen Ji" pioneered the trend and injected strong Chinese characteristics into the work, with mythological characters such as Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Qingdi, Queen Mother of the West, Zhu Rong, Chiyou, and Chi Songzi appearing one after another, and rejuvenated.
Legendary fantasy beasts such as Kunpeng, Kui Niu, Songbird, and Golden Crow have also entered the reader's sight, and their momentum is no worse than that of the legendary dragon unicorn in the West.
This undoubtedly opens up a new path for the creation of Chinese fantasy literature, and I think it is a pioneering work of Chinese fantasy that deserves its name.
I would only recommend this book to all readers who love Chinese mythological stories and fantasy literature!]
Qin Feng's evaluation of "Sou Shen Ji" has reached a point where there is nothing to add, and he even recommended it as a pioneering work.
And this is not Qin Feng's statement as a book critic, but the consensus of many book reviewers, who almost unanimously believe that this book will become a milestone in Chinese fantasy literature!
