Chapter 3 The Way Forward

Three years ago, Mu Ming, who had just graduated from college, was still a young man who longed for the big city and didn't want to go home to take over. After a once-in-a-lifetime tough insistence, Mu's father compromised and gave him five years to allow him to go out on his own.

In exchange, Mu Ming had to agree to this five-year period. If within five years, Mu Ming can settle down and don't have to rely on his family, then let it go and let him go, but if there is still no development after five years, then he has to go home honestly, either to take the civil service exam or a public institution, or to prepare to take over Mu's father's class.

Reality is not always as good as it should be. In the past three years, Mu Ming has written two online novels that hit the streets, filmed a few small videos that are not even micro-movies, worked in sales where she talked about dry saliva every day, and did a group performance that didn't have to say a word all day.

Young people, uncertain in their minds, can't do anything for long. Fortunately, Mu Ming has an advantage, that is, he may not be able to achieve high grades, but he can be low, and he does not dislike any work. and then relying on the occasional shameless selling cuteness at Mu's mother for two pocket money, he can barely support himself.

There is no noble person to help him, and from then on he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm; there is no Bai Fumei who falls in love with him at first sight, and he has to marry him if he wants to die or live; and there is no foreign tyrant old man, who shook his hand before he died, and transferred him hundreds of millions of family property. Although Mu Ming's life was occasionally difficult, it was still very peaceful.

Until the first time in his life, he was hit by a car and returned to 2010. Mu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and meowed, was it a car or a particle collider that she hit.

Mu Ming didn't know which way the gods made a joke and made his life start again. So this time, how should he go in life?

Like in my previous life, I honestly went to college and then got a job. Of course, if he can go to a better university in this life, and choose a job that will be more developed after four years, it will definitely be much better than in his previous life.

Then go to work honestly, slowly get promoted and raised, take out a loan to buy a house that is not big or small, and find a girlfriend who is not very beautiful and not ugly. Then the two got married, worked together to pay off the mortgage, had children, and raised the children.

If you give birth to a girl, you have to worry that she will be harmed by another boy, and if you have a boy, you have to worry that he will harm other girls. Be careful of kindergarten teachers, elementary school principals, and middle school seniors. Then watch him or her go to college, work, buy a house, get married, have children.

At this time, you can enjoy your retirement in peace, and when your grandchildren or granddaughters are older, you can tell them the story of a teenager who was twenty-five years old and returned to eighteen.

this boring life!

In fact, the day after returning from rebirth, Mu Ming was thinking about what she could do. In other words, what advantages can I provide for myself with these extra seven years?

Mu Ming thought about making an investment. Give yourself an investment in some projects that will be successful in the future, take a share, and wait for the money to be shared in the future. But if you think about it carefully, let's not talk about whether you have funds or not, even if you want to invest, will people definitely accept it?

The success of many projects is not something that can be developed with money. Mu Ming knows how much profit WeChat will create in the future, but if there is no Tengxun's platform and QQ's associated functions, this will only develop if it is a ghost.

Also, a project isn't just creative. Mu Ming was a scumbag who studied architecture in his previous life, and he couldn't develop a complete program when he was tired. Even if you're looking for someone to work with, you have to at least be able to understand what you're doing. Otherwise, your partner may not be able to bear to take the project for himself.

Mu Ming remembers that the professor who supervised their graduation project in her previous life said: "Creativity is the most valuable thing in the world, but it is also the least valuable thing." ”

However, an inspiration that came from the class reunion inspired him. There is really an industry in this world, there is no too high entry threshold, it does not require too much initial cost, it is simple and easy, it basically depends on creativity to win, and the future prospects are simply broad Don't want it - cultural industry.

Mu Ming, who has lived for more than seven years, is very aware of a very important concept in the future cultural industry - IP. Those IPs with high traffic often create hundreds of millions of wealth, not to mention the five or six years that the whole people are chasing, even if the concept of IP has not been so fanatical for seven years, a large traffic IP can bring millions of profits to the owner.

Of course, Mu Ming is not ready to acquire IP. Again, IP owners are naturally more willing to sell to large companies with resources and channels than individuals, so as to maximize their profits.

However, he can't buy it, but he can create IP. I haven't studied hard for so many years, but I haven't watched those movies, novels, and TV series.

Moreover, compared to those industries that I don't know at all, how can I be regarded as a lover and practitioner of the cultural industry. This can be regarded as a return to his old profession.

Movies and TV series are too far away, and they belong to the goal of future efforts. But it's still possible to write a novel or something.

However, what exactly to write is a question that needs to be carefully considered. Mu Ming took out a pen and paper, and while searching for her own memories, she recorded them on the paper at any time to avoid forgetting.

Mu Ming is a person who likes to read novels, otherwise he wouldn't have written it himself, although he hit the street. But now that I think about it, there really isn't much he can write about.

For example, a fantasy text like the god-level Wubai, Mu Ming can't write it. Not disdain, but won't. Don't underestimate Xiaobaiwen, how to let readers quickly receive a setting, how to express a cool point, these all require experience and skills.

There are also some novels with strong specialization, which require a huge amount of knowledge; novels of the same human race, which are inherently difficult to enter the mainstream; historical and urban novels, and in terms of film and television, belong to the world of the female market......

Mu Ming frowned and pondered, and the pen in her hand circled and circled the words "film and television adaptation" on the paper. Suddenly, Mu Ming's hand suddenly stopped, and a new inspiration appeared in his mind.

"Since it is so difficult for a novel to be adapted into a film and television, what would it be like to write a film and television work into a novel in the first place. ”

As if a door had been opened, Mu Ming's thinking instantly became extremely broad. That's right, for a novel to be adapted into a film and television, it needs a lot of changes. But wouldn't it be much easier to write novels directly according to the needs of movies and TV series from the very beginning?

The most important thing is that these film and television works have been tested by the market, and there is no need to worry about the problem of "not adapting to the water and soil". Almost instantly, seven or eight film and television works suitable for adaptation flashed in Mu Ming's mind.
