Chapter 44: Take a step back
There is not much surplus in time for the evening plane. After the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Liang embarked on a flight to Xi'an.
The next morning, when a Chinese airline plane drove into Xianyang International Airport, a slightly bald middle-aged man walked out of the airport in a simple manner.
On the side door of the airport, Editor-in-Chief Liang was going to call a taxi, and he saw a taxi parked there from a distance, but there was a beautiful girl with a good figure in front of him, and when he walked over, the driver waved his hand.
Although the editor-in-chief Liang is old, his eyes are very good. He saw that the other party was a strong man, but at the moment of beckoning, his eyes did not take off the screen of the mobile phone.
With a hint of curiosity, he walked over to the taxi driver.
"Hey, master, are you going to Xu Qing University?"
"Don't go, don't go, let's go, don't bother Lao Tzu!" The burly man stared at his mobile phone a little impatiently, and waved his hand to Editor-in-Chief Liang, as if he was in a hurry.
"Hey, give you money, you still don't make money!" Editor-in-chief Liang leaned over, he was a little curious, why did the other party put money and didn't make money, is the mobile phone so attractive?
However, when he leaned over to look, he found that the other party was posting on a page he was very familiar with.
"Kill the group of co-dots, one by one, everyone and I go to the dot's website to let them know that we are arrogant and not vegetarians. ”
His post has just been sent, and in less than 30 seconds, the number of replies at the bottom has exceeded 100.
"Brother Scarlet, you organize, everyone knows that you are in the alliance leader group, and you can get in touch with big shots. ”
"Yes, Brother Scarlet, we will do whatever you tell us to do. ”
Seeing their speeches, the burly man was very proud, and then tapped on his mobile phone: "Okay, let's go to the comment of the snow lotus rain first, and teach them how to be people in minutes." ”
The burly man had just finished sending the message, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the cushion behind him, and suddenly glanced slightly, but found that the person he waved just now had not left.
"Where are you going?" he said in a more impulsive tone, but the middle-aged man with clear eyebrows and glasses on the other side did not make any other moves because of his attitude, just opened the taxi door and sat in, and then said, "Go to Xu Qing University, master!"
"Okay, I'll tell you the price first, 200 yuan!"
"Okay, let's drive, master!"
The burly man is obviously an old driver, one foot on the accelerator, the steering wheel moved slightly, the green-white taxi, a steady maneuver, and then he kicked the accelerator again, the taxi is like a green arrow, rushing forward.
Along the way, Editor-in-Chief Liang had other thoughts and wanted to find out something from this driver, so he deliberately put it on.
Because Editor-in-Chief Liang really likes online literature, and this Brother Li, that is, the burly driver brother, is also a person who likes to read online novels very much.
In the end, Editor-in-Chief Liang intentionally or unintentionally led the matter to what happened in the online literature industry in recent days, and this Brother Li is really worthy of his name, and his head is more than a tendon.
"Let me tell you, the latest god who has risen in the past few days [Brother is extremely arrogant] You know, right? I am his alliance leader......
"Well, then Brother Li, who do you think has a better chance of winning this war?"
"Needless to say, it must be our arrogant legion. ”
"However, how can I hear that the dots are on the other side, and it seems that the people from the Great God Alliance who have been dispatched have begun to block?"
"Seal a fart, a bunch of guys who can only gnaw on the old book. Didn't I say you should read their books now, except for those who have just entered the online literature circle, who still reads them at my age?"
Lao Liang nodded, he agreed with this sentence. Although there are many great god writers with polka dots, it is really difficult to find a more creative author.
And it was precisely because he fell in love with Panlong and the Tomb of the Gods that he was subversive to the fantasy online literature circle, so he signed the contract at all costs.
Although during the meeting, he also said that he regretted it very much. But in fact, in this matter, even if he is told the result, he will still do what he is doing now.
However, it seems that the flames of war have been ignited very large, and it is no longer a matter of a small circle.
The car drove for more than 40 minutes, and on the way, Brother Li was very talkative, and after arriving at the destination, Lao Liang paid the fare, and the two also added WeChat.
"Hmm...... Are you the editor-in-chief of 18S? I know you...... Is Big Brother Arrogant in your company?" he said, then glanced at Lao Liang, "The arrogant deity won't be in this school, right?"
Lao Liang had a black line on his face, big brother, you are so smart, are you worthy of your looks?
Separated from the driver, Lao Liang glanced at his watch, and it was already more than 8 o'clock in the morning. He hesitated, stared at the number on his phone, and dialed it anyway.
"Hey, is it Yang Fan? I'm the editor-in-chief of 18S, and my surname is Liang. I want to meet you...... Yes, I'm right in front of your school. ”
"Hmm...... Okay, then you wait for me. ”
……
Yang Fan can be said to be anxious, two hours ago, he had actually woken up from the bed.
In fact, his two novels have been completely suppressed by the alliance of the great gods of the dots.
No matter how powerful Yang Fan is, he is just a new author, and the fan base is there. And the Great God Alliance, which author does not have tens of thousands of fans?
At this moment, everyone is pouring out of the nest, and on the data of the two novels, the two novels that have risen quite well have been suppressed all of a sudden.
"Damn, I knew there would be such a big situation, but it was too fast, and I didn't have a chance to react. ”
When he decided to change his own 100 chapters, Yang Fan made the decision to be the enemy of the entire online literature industry, because his decision was destroying the market and was bound to suffer a huge backlash.
But he didn't expect that in less than a month, the other party would free his hand and want to give him a thunderous blow.
Of course, after these two books, he still wants to take the path of film and television dramas. After all, the cake of the novel industry is so big, how can it be compared to the film and television industry?
But the most important thing now is that the other party is trying to bring down his two books and at the same time make his reputation stink.
If they really get their wish, then these two books will not be made into IPs, even if they continue to make normal profits, they will not be able to do it.
Of course, there is good news. This morning, Yang Fan went to Weibo as usual, and found that the song he cooperated with Li Tianrui on the top ten of the hot search list, and the discussion was very loud.
His Weibo fans have also risen by tens of thousands. And more importantly, even in such a sluggish Chinese music scene, the plum blossom three lanes, which are classical music, still won nearly three million sales.
But, good news is good news. However, in the online literature circle, in this regard. The dot god is indeed a topic that cannot be skipped.
When Yang Fan passed, there was only one middle-aged man in the entire café, he was wrapped in a coffee-colored scarf and wearing a black coat, but his hair was different from Wang Rui, neatly combed, as if he had hairspray.
Hearing the movement behind him, the other party turned around, and under the four eyes met, both of them could see the shrewdness in each other's eyes.
"Classmate Yang Fan, right?" Lao Liang stood up politely and stretched out his hand.
Yang Fan hurriedly stepped forward and held it, "Hello, Editor-in-Chief Liang." ”
After the two of them sat down, Yang Fan found that Lao Liang was not the kind of person who liked to go around and around, and he was clear between the conversations.
"Student Yang, this matter is indeed imminent, and you don't want your novel to become a scrap all of a sudden, right?"
Yang Fanxin said that he definitely didn't want to do this, but he really didn't draw a good prize in the past few days. If you really can't do it, you can only activate the lucky aura.
As soon as he thought about it, he pulled back the panel, but there was a very surprised look on his face. Because above the system panel, the reputation value has reached ...... Millions.
Millions of prestige, what kind of level has it reached in one night? Yang Fan couldn't think about it, in fact, even he didn't know how popular the name of Brother Incomparably Arrogant was.
"Editor-in-chief Liang, everyone knows who provoked the momentum of this matter. And anyway, I'm also the author of our 18s, doesn't the company plan to defend my rights?"
Lao Liang Xin said, give you a yarn, the head office has already scolded me because of the contract we signed.
But I'm here to talk about things, so of course I can't say that. At the moment, he thought about it for a while, "Yang Fan, I have already learned about it on the way here, you are a popular artist of Sinovel and you were on the hot search a few days ago, right?"
"Uh, yes. Yang Fan was a little embarrassed, it seems that he is indeed quite popular, and the other party is obviously not involved in this aspect, since he knows this matter.
"We knew very well that the company was indeed a little sloppy in the contract signed at that time. If you can license the rights to movies and audiobooks, the company will still decide to help you. ”
There was some threat in these words, and of course Yang Fan would not agree. He sees it very far, and when this IP becomes popular, how can the value be bound by tens of millions of levels.
Editor-in-chief Liang laughed, although I studied acting, I also have a lot of experience in the streamlined management of online literature. And although I signed a special contract with your company, we can think about it, if I am pressed by the great god alliance of the dots, then your company's loss is estimated to be not small. ”
Yang Fan looked at Editor-in-Chief Liang with a smile on his face, and the other party looked at the boy with clear eyebrows, but he gritted his teeth in his heart.
When I communicated with Lao Wang a few days ago, I heard Lao Wang mention it, saying that this guy is a personal essence, and he didn't believe it at the time, but now when he talks about it, this guy is not just a personal essence, and he simply feels the situation of his company clearly.
Just wanted to say something, who knew that Yang Fan said again: "And you should also think about it, if I am pressed this time, what a big blow to the morale of our 18S authors! Besides, I have analyzed our website, we started with *, if we take a step back this time, who will come to our website in the future!"
The other party is right, this is also the reason why Lao Liang rushed to Xi'an in a hurry.
The promotion money spent by the company on these two novels, although it did not reach the million level, was already terrifying.
After thinking about it for a long time, he said with great difficulty: "Otherwise, in the contract we signed, we can do without film and television and other copyrights, but we must have priority." ”
"Of course, haven't I already talked to Lao Wang about this matter?"
"No, this time it must be written in the contract, it is clear in black and white, and I can be considered to be able to give an explanation to the above. ”
"Can you guarantee my male lead? Oh...... I forgot, our company is backed by Brilliant Entertainment, so there's no problem. ”
"Well, the IP of these two books must be given priority to us brilliantly, and in our adaptation process, you can't hand it over to other companies. ”
"And what about when you're done?"
"Whatever you want!"
