Fantasy World's business revolves entirely around the IP of popular works, and other than that, the company doesn't have an actual business unit.

Copyright publishing needs to find a publishing company to cooperate, film and television adaptation needs to find a film and television company to implement, animation adaptation needs an animation company, and game adaptation needs a professional game team......

These resources are not available to Fantasy World itself. Fortunately, the new entrepreneurship department itself has publishing, film and television, animation and game companies.

Fantasy World Company and those brother units are the same boss, and they are not afraid of these brother units pit themselves.

At present, the only super IP owned by Fantasy World is Jin Yong's 14 martial arts. This super IP is destined to be not only valuable now, but will not only not be outdated in the next few decades, but will become more and more valuable.

Of course, just gnawing on Jin Yong's copyright, then the return on investment in the next few decades will definitely not be as good as directly investing in real estate or buying HSI constituent stocks.

However, Lin Qi's expectations for Fantasy World are not only the development of Jin Yong's copyright. Future Fantasy World Company, in addition to the "Jin Yong Universe", there will be many, many "XX Universes". Those, the new world-view IP, will support Fantasy World to gradually develop into a world-class company.

I don't dare to say that other IPs are not going to say that in addition to the copyright of Jin Yong purchased at a sky-high price, Lin Qi also has a super IP that doesn't cost money. For example, the core copyright of the "Moon Universe" is already in the hands of Lin Qi, and it will definitely be injected into the fantasy world company in the future.

"Moon" just came out in the late 90s, and in the 21st century, it began to rely on one work after another, gradually developing the simple niche butter into the "Moon-type Universe". In terms of the fashionability of the setting and the loyalty of core fans, although the number of fans in the Moon World is not as good as Jin Yong, it is not inferior in terms of money-making effect.

……

"Okay, the development of Jin Yong's universe is handed over to you!" Lin Qi said to the company's less than 50 employees, "In the future, it will develop to the level of Disney based on this, or if nothing can be achieved, it depends on you!"

"Boss, of course we are working hard to become China's version of Disney!"

"It's not the Chinese version of Disney, what's the point? It's to gradually reach the level of Disney in the world, comparing market capitalization, revenue, and influencing people!" Lin Qi said with a smile, "Disney has gradually developed to the current level by relying on core copyrights such as Mickey Mouse and Tang Lao." At the beginning, the conditions for their entrepreneurship were far worse than those of the fantasy world. You should first set a long-term goal and work hard in this direction, even if you get a seven-eight-fold or five-six discount in the future, it will be much stronger than the Chinese version of Disney!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yong's martial arts culture studio is divided into three departments: the setting set committee, the same person authorization committee, and the adaptation and development committee.

The setting committee is responsible for studying Jin Yong's 14 books and extracting the most basic worldview and settings from them. This set of settings serves as an important reference for the creation of fanworks and adaptations in the future.

The Homo Licensing Committee is responsible for the authorization and review of Jin Yong's homo copyright. Outside and comic creators,After sending the work to Jin Yong's martial arts culture studio,Reviewed by the same committee,Homo works with a certain quality,Publication authorization will be given。 Of course, the cost of licensing is 1% royalty, ten dollars per book, and the publisher needs to pay 1% of the book's price for the author, as the license fee for the same person publishing. This royalty is very low, and in the long run, the benefits are not large, but it must be collected, and by charging this meager licensing fee, the authority of copyright is subtly declared to the market.

Of course, the same license is limited to the work itself, and if you try to adapt the same work into a film or a game, you need to contact Jinwu Studio again. As for,Homo people,It's not allowed.。 Any work that adopts Jin Yong's worldview and setting needs to be officially authorized by the studio, otherwise, it will be prosecuted by law.

As for the adaptation and development committee, it is responsible for the adaptation and investment of Jin Yong's martial arts original works and fan works that are in line with Jin Yong's martial arts worldview, such as film and television, animation, games and so on.

……

At this stage, it will take at least 1 year for the first version of the canon to be released. However, according to the existing original books, it is still possible to carry out some business.

For example, Jin Yong's martial arts fandom has cooperated with the New Venture Publishing Group Company to launch a solicitation of papers in Hong Kong, Macau and China.

"Jin Yong's martial arts fandom call for submissions has begun. Homo is not only based on the plot of the original characters, but also a secondary creation and adaptation. Just like the Ming Dynasty, there was "Water Margin" first, and then there were "Golden Bottle Plum" and "Dangkou Zhi" created according to some of the characters and backgrounds of "Water Margin". Based on the original work, it is a secondary adaptation and creation, both for the same person.

Jin Yong's martial arts culture studio under Fantasy World is the only genuine authorized agency of Jin Yong's copyright. The company was established in December 1986, and Lin Qi bought out Jin Yong's copyright publishing, adaptation and various commercial interests for HK$1 billion, and injected Jin Yong's copyright into Fantasy World Company as a core asset. Jin Yong's martial arts culture studio was established under Fantasy World Company to research and develop the cultural and commercial value of Jin Yong's copyright.

This call for papers was organized by Jin Yong Martial Arts Culture Studio and New Venture Publishing Group Co., Ltd. and other cooperative units. Medium-length and comic manuscripts that meet the requirements of Jin Yong's martial arts fandom can be submitted to the receiving address of New Venture Publishing Group. If the accepted manuscript is accepted, the manuscript fee will be paid according to the minimum remuneration of 10 yuan per thousand words, and the actual remuneration will be calculated according to the copyright multiplied by the circulation of 10% of the book price. If the accepted manuscript fee is less than 10 yuan per 1,000 words, it will be paid according to the guaranteed manuscript remuneration, but if it is accepted but not published, it will still be implemented according to the standard of 10 yuan per 1,000 words. The manuscript should be more than 140,000 words (refer to the long length of the bookstore rented by New Venture Publishing Group), and the main text of more than 30,000 words plus the summary and outline of the work should be attached.

For comic manuscripts, it is recommended to take the short and medium stories as the standard, and the remuneration is 10 yuan per page. In addition, if you have the strength to draw Jin Yong's character illustrations, you can hire illustrations of no less than 50 yuan per manuscript ......"

Relying on the more than 3,000 self-operated rented bookstores owned by the New Venture Publishing Group, the news of the same people soliciting papers quickly spread to Hong Kong, Macao and China.

As a result, the distribution channels of New Venture Publishing Group are becoming more and more focused on renting their own bookstores. At least one-third of the books are distributed directly in the bookstore rented by the family. These books do not make money by selling them directly to readers, but by renting them on a daily basis.

At the beginning, the rental outlets of the group company only counted the rental data and fed back to the group company, which made the company's editorial department have a clearer understanding of the subject matter and market trend. But later, the grassroots staff reported that some readers also started to write because they had read too much, but they were generally not familiar with the publishing process, and they dealt with more employees and people in charge of renting bookstores. At the same time, the grassroots staff of the bookstore, because of their long-term contact with the first-line market and readers, and even some creative enthusiasts, can also have some suggestions for the works, so many grassroots employees have the ability to be quasi-editors. Therefore, the group company adjusted its strategy, so that in addition to providing book rental services to readers, the group company also delegated the right to initially receive manuscripts to grassroots rental bookstores.

In this way, because I have read too much, new young authors who want to create can directly hand over the manuscript to the person in charge of the rental bookstore. Of course, the person in charge of the bookstore does not have formal editing qualifications, but he can make suggestions and receive manuscripts. When the logistics staff of the headquarters deliver the new book goods to the major outlets, the manuscripts collected by the grassroots business outlets are also submitted to the logistics personnel of the headquarters and handed over to the editorial department. In the future, whether it is a rejection or a manuscript is accepted, it will be conveyed through the staff of the grassroots outlets.

At the same time, the headquarters also rewards grassroots outlets, rewarding 10 yuan for each additional submission. The manuscript accepted by the editorial department will be rewarded with 200 yuan for grassroots personnel.

It is precisely because of the operation of this system that the number of manuscripts obtained by New Venture Publishing Group far exceeds that of any other publishing institution at home and abroad.
