Chapter 20 The Wind of Big IP Adaptation
To say that it is false to be unhappy, his first single has already entered the new song list, and it is still in the top ten. This is enough to prove his extraordinary strength, at least it can be regarded as a temporary foothold in Sinovel Records.
The rest of the time, even if he doesn't have any works, he can last at least a few months.
Besides, his own novel career is also developing, if those editors are not blind, they should be able to have a letter after half a month.
On the other side, *'s original online literature website, 18S Chinese Network Headquarters, on top of a 28-story high-rise building, hundreds of people stared at the computer, staring without blinking.
The atmosphere of the workplace is very strong, and under the oppressive atmosphere, people come and go.
Among them, a middle-aged man with unkempt hair scanned the content on the computer with his eyes racing, but the more he looked at it, the more disappointed he looked.
"This ...... What is this?
"And this, the protagonist is inexplicably awesome, and there is no foreshadowing at all, is it difficult to make me YY?"
It took three hours until a colleague greeted him behind him, and the middle-aged man came back to his senses.
"What's the matter, Lao Wang, you look sullen! Let's go to dinner!"
"Well, I still say. I don't know what's going on in the past few years, the number of fantasy novels has increased dramatically, but the number of high-quality novels is getting fewer and fewer. ”
"But don't say it, our romance novels aren't very good either, and we haven't cultivated a readership. ”
"Come on, you have at least one Yu Yan, but if you look at the current online fantasy world, it is really not available, the older generation is like prosperity, and there are free children, these gods now only want to guard their own one-third of an acre, and they don't dare to innovate at all. And the newcomer Li Xiaobai, a few days ago, wanted to cut the book directly because the subscription data of the new book was not very good. ”
Wang Rui naturally took out the cigarette from his pocket, and glanced at the brand on the side out of the corner of his eye, so he put the cigarette back in his pocket, but he still sighed there.
"Okay, our business, it's really not good in the past few years, and it's not a matter of the past few days, so don't think about it so much, give yourself a vacation, and it's not like this to work overtime." The colleagues on the side comforted, and they also felt some emotion in their hearts.
"Alright, go eat it yourself, and I'll see if I can catch a big fish." Wang Rui quipped, but he also knew that such a situation was simply looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Okay, but are you sure you don't want me to bring you food?"
"No need, go back and cook yourself in the evening. ”
After his colleague left, Wang Rui went to the bathroom and smoked a cigarette beautifully, took out the perfume he carried with him from his pocket, sprayed it a few times, and then sat down on his desk.
However, when I sat down, my hand touched the mouse unnaturally. After pressing it inexplicably, a book came into his eyes.
"Coiling Dragon?"
Wang Rui looked at it suspiciously, this is obviously a new book, with a word count of only a little more than 30,000, like this kind of book, it is generally not read. But I don't know what's going on today, so the ghost almost clicked in.
Then seeing the introduction above, he glanced at it for several minutes, and his eyes, which were originally misty, slowly shone brightly.
"This introduction is quite novel and very attractive!" Wang Rui said to himself, and then clicked on the text page.
This is a Western fantasy, Wang Rui just read the first chapter, and he had a conclusion in his heart.
Like the general Westernized novels, in fact, the market in Chinese mainland is relatively poor. Because classical Xianxia is now the mainstream, books such as Fan Sheng, which tell the story of a generation of mortals becoming immortals.
But this book is not like this at all, the more Wang Rui reads it, the more frightened he becomes, and the whole person seems to be brought into the world of the decisive and decisive dragon Hengtian, until his mouse moves to the next chapter, but when it shows that the book is not finished, the whole person is shocked all of a sudden.
His heart is now full of mixed feelings, but more often than not, it is wrapped in a deep sense of joy.
The excitement was overflowing, and the whole body was trembling.
"Really...... It really made me meet a divine book!" Wang Rui looked around, then saved the book, and immediately prepared to wait for the leader to come back, and then go up and report quickly.
You must know that it is their online responsibility to excavate books, and if they discover a masterpiece, he will also have a real bonus commission.
However, when he was about to close the website, he suddenly found that the author had written a book at the bottom of the book, and out of respect for this masterpiece and curiosity, he certainly did not hesitate to click on it again.
"Hmm...... An ordinary young man who has been dead for thousands of years has been resurrected from the tomb of an ancient god?
Wang Rui has been doing this business for more than ten years, and with his keen intuition of old fritters, this book should not be simple.
But unlike the previous Panlong, this Tomb of the Gods has built a much grander world. Wang Rui didn't even think that the author would draw such a big blueprint based on the Immortal Demon Continent and the Magic Continent.
As the protagonist Chen Dong rises from the tomb of the gods, the gods who witnessed his life have been destroyed, and he meets the little demon princess, and then he takes the Houyi bow that his father held at that time, and kills a big snake that has the hope of turning into a dragon.
The language description has reached the pinnacle, which makes Wang Rui can't help but be amazed.
This is also a masterpiece, no less than Panlong's masterpiece.
If Wang Rui still had other thoughts just now, he felt that this was just a small author, and he was lucky to write a divine book. But now he took the thought straight back.
This person must be a powerful person, and then as if he thought of something, he quickly glanced at the author's name, but the expression on his face was a little strange.
It's really this author's name, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother is extremely arrogant, this person is really crazy, but he has crazy capital!" Lao Wang commented here without saltiness, and it was at this time that a relatively heavy middle-aged man's call suddenly came from behind him.
"Lao Wang, why don't you go to eat yet, I said that you are really, eat when you should eat, work when you should work, don't exhaust your body because you want to do more work. ”
Lao Wang knew that this was the return of Editor-in-Chief Liang.
Editor-in-chief Liang walked up to Wang Rui, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Lao Wang, I know that you have the momentum to work, but you must also know that the body is the capital of the revolution." ”
As he was talking, a ringing mobile phone rang, and Lao Wang just wanted to answer it, but found that it was not his.
Not far from the side, after Editor-in-Chief Liang answered the phone, he still looked smiling, but after hearing the content clearly, his face was a little ugly.
"Yes, yes, understood!"
"Yes, Manager Xue, don't worry, I promise to complete the task sent by the headquarters!"
Seeing his old boss, pretending to be a grandson over there, Lao Wang also heard a few mouths through the earpiece, but the thing is still because fantasy novels are more nervous now, and there are too few high-quality products.
If this matter had been put on hold before, Lao Wang would definitely be at a loss, but now he is confident, after all, he has the goods in his hand, and his waist is straight.
After the editor-in-chief Liang hung up the phone, he glanced at Lao Wang with some complicated looks, then sighed again, didn't say anything, and prepared to return to his office.
At this time, Lao Wang was in a hurry, and he finally found two masterpieces, which can solve your old man's urgent need. Why don't you come up and ask me?
However, the boss didn't ask, and Lao Wang was anxious. If this is seen by a colleague one day, won't his bonus be lost?
At the moment, Lao Wang doesn't care about other things. Following the editor-in-chief Liang, the two entered the glass door one after the other.
This kind of glass door is the kind of one-way glass that can see the outside from the inside, but the outside cannot see the inside.
Editor-in-chief Liang entered the office, and as soon as he put the cigarette on his lips, he was about to relieve the boredom in his heart, when he saw Lao Wang, who didn't know when he was already standing behind him, and looked at him so calmly.
All of a sudden, the cigarettes that scared Editor-in-Chief Liang fell to the ground.
"Lao Wang, what's the matter with you? Why are you walking silently, do you know that people are scared to death?"
Of course, Wang Rui was also apologetic, but he didn't say goodbye, and said straight to the point: "I'm sorry, editor-in-chief, but I have a very important matter to report to you!"
"Forget it, sit down!"
After all, he is an old employee who has worked in the company for more than ten years, and the two were colleagues before, so of course Editor-in-Chief Liang couldn't put a score on his side, waved his hand, and poured a cup of tea for Lao Wang.
After receiving the tea from his boss, Lao Wang sat on the chair, but his butt was only half sided.
"What's the matter?"
"That, editor-in-chief. I accidentally heard it just now, did the head office find you again because of the fantasy IP thing?"
Editor-in-chief Liang sighed deeply, and then said helplessly: "You are an old employee, so I won't hide it from you." Although our company is one of the top original online literature companies in China, in the past few years, there are too few fantasy boutiques, and even fewer are in line with commercialization. ”
"No, that's it, the head office also asked me to find two big IPs, and said that if I can't find it, they will have to do a big reshuffle of 18S at the end of the year!"
As a veteran employee, of course Lao Wang doesn't want Editor-in-Chief Liang to leave, who knows what kind of people will be sent by the head office?
"Well, it's such an editor-in-chief, I just saw two good fantasy novels, and I thought I'd let you come and give me an idea. ”
"Oh, there are still fantasy novels that can enter your old Wang's eyes?" Editor-in-chief Liang snorted, but when he saw Lao Wang's serious face, he immediately said again: "What is the title of the book, the author's name, and the number of words?"
Lao Wang was not ambiguous, he came directly to the editor-in-chief Liang, his fingers pressed quickly on the computer, and after a while, a book appeared on the 18S website.
"Panlong?The name is good, but this author's name is also arrogant!hmm...... How come it's only 30,000 words?"
As soon as Editor-in-Chief Liang saw this, his face had already changed a little. What can you see in 30,000 words? I'm afraid I won't even be able to finish the beginning, and even if I encounter some slower books, I can't be too much to shoot them.
Obviously, seeing that his boss was puzzled, Lao Wang said categorically: "Editor-in-chief, I, Wang Rui, guarantee with my experience of more than ten years in the industry, this is definitely a real masterpiece, and even unceremoniously said that it is possible to subvert the entire pattern of fantasy novels now." ”
Hearing such a high evaluation from Lao Wang, Editor-in-Chief Liang no longer hesitated. In front of him, I clicked on it directly.
At first, he just glanced there, but gradually, Editor-in-Chief Liang began to sit down slowly. However, Lao Wang has found that his old boss is still floating on the computer screen when he sits down.
The corners of his mouth hooked an imperceptible smile, and Lao Wang sat comfortably on the leather sofa next to him, but he directly closed his eyes and recuperated.
In his opinion, if he can take advantage of the wind of big IP adaptation this time, he may really be able to climb to the top of this position that he has not touched for a long time.
However, he is an old man, and he has obviously seen through the essence of the matter. If the company decides to cooperate, then the first thing to do is the author of these two masterpieces.
