Chapter 0130: Adapting the Series

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of April of July and 5.

On April 22nd, commercial TV boss He George finally couldn't bear to come to the door and wanted to discuss winning the TV adaptation rights of "Xun Qin".

After more than 50 days of newspaper serialization and audio reading, "Xun Qin Ji" has reached a high index in terms of fan attention and topic popularity.

Because of the serialization of "Xun Qin Ji", the average sales of Sing Tao Evening News not only successfully exceeded the 100,000 mark, but also slowly increased, and it is about to surpass the sales of Oriental Daily.

Not only that, according to sampling, because of the reading and broadcasting of "Xun Qin Ji", the listening rate of the voice column of the commercial radio station in the evening also exceeded the listening rate of the same column of the Xiangjiang radio station.

At the same time, with the advantage of maintaining such a high level of popularity, even the physical book "Xun Qin Ji" on the side of Xinghui Publishing House has been published in two volumes according to the serial progress, and each volume has sold more than 100,000 copies.

In the past few decades, looking at the local area of Hong Kong, the only person who has achieved such dazzling results is Jin Daxia, the founder of Ming Pao.

According to the jargon of later generations, that is, "Xun Qin" is on fire. And it's a mess of fire, out of control, and a storm can't extinguish it.

"Xun Qin Ji" became popular, and correspondingly, the Star Literature Society that created it and the Xinghui Publishing House that published it also gained enough attention.

These two societies already have the attention and blessing of holding what is known as the "largest essay contest in history".

Coupled with the fire added by "Looking for Qin", it can be said that it is showing up against the wind, and it has swelled dramatically in a short period of time.

Nowadays, in addition to the essay contest and the two projects of "Xun Qin Ji", the two societies have also begun to seek independent development, and have found new jobs inside and outside.

For example, on the side of the publishing house, someone has come to the door with manuscripts to seek publication a few days ago, which indicates that the publishing house has started the publishing business.

The Literary Society, on its part, has also preliminarily sorted out the manuscripts for the essay contest and printed them as "Star Digest" and put them into the market.

Speaking of which, I have to mention one more thing about the recent development of Xingni Comics.

After holding a joint exhibition of comic clothing at Temple Street at the beginning of the month, Li Wenxing then instructed Shi Nansheng to hold a number of activities in Prince Edward, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Koloon City, Kwun Tong, and even Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island.

Such a high-density exhibition activity, coupled with a bloody media promotion.

With the passage of time, the two comics created by the comic club, plus the toys, dolls, figures, and costumes of the same style of the comics, all began to sell well.

Even the small garment factory that was acquired before, its production capacity has long been unable to catch up with the market demand, and it is too late to expand now, and finally has to find another factory to produce OEM.

There is no way to do it, you can't watch the sales opportunity lose in vain, let others produce on behalf of others, although you earn less, you can earn a little more.

During this period, there were also some pirated copycats, but they were all quickly extinguished by Weng Zhuoxu and them, and not even a little spark came out.

Speaking of which, almost all of the gangs that dared to do piracy copycat business in these years have a community background, or simply a community business.

And Li Wenxing is backed by the entire Hezitou club, in the eyes of outsiders, this is obviously the business of the top boss above, and of course the insiders don't dare to come nonsense.

As for the other two associations outside, Yi'an and Lao Yi, they didn't dare to get involved.

Just because of the regular business of blatant piracy, that is, they take the initiative to cross the line, first of all, it is untenable in righteousness.

In addition, it is still the other party's own business, if the other party directly counterattacks with righteousness at this time, it will not be a few lives that can be filled.

Don't make much money at that time, but lead to shame. If you really want to fight, the little money you earn may not be enough for carriage and horse expenses, medical expenses, and pensions.

Estimate it, you know, the whole Xiangjiang is such a place, two comics plus peripherals, the genuine version will sell a lot, how much market can piracy have?

Okay, stop there and get back to business.

In fact, for the TV adaptation rights of "Looking for Qin", Li Wenxing has long been waiting for Mr. He George to come to the door.

On the morning of the same day, as soon as George Ho arrived at the Starlight Building, Li Wenxing invited him to a reception room with the most luxurious decoration.

Obviously, it is rude to receive the old man directly in the office.

Li Wenxing can't sit in the main seat and let the old man sit on the chair opposite, that's the treatment of subordinates.

The old man is still half an elder, and he is still the leader of his own business, if he is used as a subordinate reception, even his reputation will be ruined.

Of course, etiquette is etiquette, and etiquette does not mean that you have to compromise on business.

is like the adaptation rights of "Xun Qin", Li Wenxing had a comprehensive plan for this matter as early as the beginning.

If in the end, Old Man He can't meet some of these conditions, after all, it is related to the important layout of the entertainment industry in the future, then Li Wenxing can only say sorry.

"Uncle He, I don't know how much investment ChristieTV is going to spend on filming "Xun Qin"?"

Together with Shi Nansheng, he sat in the reception room with He George, and after chatting politely and gossiping, He George explained his intentions first.

Li Wenxing and Shi Nansheng glanced at each other, and did not answer positively, but asked such a question.

"You can rest assured that Christie's is absolutely in accordance with the highest standards in the industry, and it is produced and filmed with excellent production. ”

Li Wenxing's question was also expected by He George, after all, "Looking for Qin" was created by the other party.

It's like a daughter getting married, and I definitely hope to find a good in-law for her.

But it was He George's answer that he thought was perfect, but Li Wenxing shook his head when he heard it.

"Uncle He, why don't I make a proposal?"

The highest standard in the industry, this highest standard is nothing more than to keep up with the two TV stations of Li's and TVB, but this is not at all far from the estimate in my heart.

For example, in the past two years, the wireless station has filmed an episode of a costume drama, and the maximum investment does not exceed 20,000 yuan.

After deducting actors' salaries, film/tape consumption, post-production, etc., there is not much money left for hard equipment such as sets, props, and costumes.

Under such rough and hard conditions, how good can the filmed dramas be?

If it was just filming ordinary dramas, Li Wenxing would not be so satisfied, after all, the people's aesthetics in this era are at this level.

In this day and age, TV series really don't need you to be very well-made, such as sets, props, costumes, etc., just watch the past.

As long as the story content of the episode is interesting, the leading actors are handsome and beautiful, and everyone is happy to watch it.

However, this does not meet my expectations for the series "Looking for Qin" at all, it is my fist product, and it will make a loud noise when it is smashed out.
