It has been translated into more than seventy languages.

With more than 350 million copies sold worldwide, it became one of the best-selling novels on the planet.

The adapted series of movies of the same name has exceeded 7 billion at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing series of movies in history.

The author who created this work has long been the richest writer in the world, and his domestic influence even exceeds that of the queen.

In addition to books and movies, DVDs, TV films, games, clothing, stationery, and even theme parks and theme tourism have penetrated into people's daily lives, forming a huge industrial chain, and this industrial chain is constantly expanding and enriching.

It can be said that there has never been a work in history that has achieved such great achievements, in addition to creating one sales miracle after another, almost all the copyrights related to books have been opened, and they have achieved good results.

The surrounding copyrights derived from it are constantly being robbed.

Big capital leverages the big market!

This work is the "Harry Potter" that has swept the world and made countless readers around the world fall in love with it!

……

"Harry Potter?

Yang Lilu, who had resumed her work, heard the title of the book and asked confidently, "It's just a boy's name?"

"Yes. Liu Jingting replied with a smile, he couldn't explain what this boy meant now, and he understood Yang Lilu's worries, compared to Blueprints' "Star Era", the name seemed to have no chance of winning.

"In this way, it can only be a fairy tale. Use the main character's name as the title of the book. ”

"Fantasy, magic, when the first work comes out, you will have a general impression. Rest assured, you won't have to use the titles of "Cosmic Explosion" and "Milky Way Tumbling" to break through the sky. ”

Even Yang Lilu, who heard Liu Jingting say this in person, is still not sure enough to win the blueprint, and there may still be a chance in the sales battle, but the box office of the movie is a bit sloppy anyway.

"Novels are different from movies after all. Yang Lilu said to herself.

Liu Jingting also stopped explaining and began to type: "The surviving boy in the first chapter"

March 20th. Liu Jingting posted a status on his personal microblog: "The new office has been relocated, and "The Condor Heroes" has officially started serialization, and it is expected to end at the end of the year. Full listing. In addition, the Queen's draft has already been written, and we will be able to meet with you in May. ”

May?

Sensitive netizens and reporters quickly caught this keyword, especially the good deeds who have been waiting to see the show are an instant climax.

"Blueprints' new book "Star Era" has been set for May. Now Liu Jingting has also announced that there will be a new book in May. Did I find anything?"

"What does Liu Jingting mean by sending this message, has he officially declared war on Blueprint?"

"I have a question, according to Liu Jingting, his new book in May was written at the request of the Queen, that is, he is going to write a novel in about a month to shake the blueprint that has been prepared for several years?"

Even though the Nobel bet has just passed, after everyone heard the news, there are still a large number of people who think that Liu Jingting is another treacherous gamble. Write a book a month to fight against Blueprints, and it won't be much embarrassing to lose.

Of course. Also affected by the Nobel bet, another group of netizens were much more careless: "I think everyone should pay more attention and pay attention to which country suddenly has a hot new book, because it is likely that it is Liu Jingting's vest, so the trick will be repeated." ”

This point of view is not only widely circulated in the Chinese online world, but even many foreign netizens have begun to ridicule this topic.

"If there is a new book that sells well recently, you must pay attention to the author's signature. ”

For a time, Liu Jingting incarnated into thousands of people, the dragon haunted all over the world without a head or tail, today the United States released a book of "Alchemist", it seems that there is a shadow of Liu Jingting behind it, and tomorrow France will publish a "Mask" like Liu Jingting's handwriting.

Many businesses also took the initiative to use Liu Jingting's name to hype up and promote their new books, while hiring a water army to analyze the close relationship between a certain work and Liu Jingting on the Internet, and then "crying and laughing" and "going to call the police immediately" posture to come forward to clarify.

This kind of hot news of the collective entertainment of netizens all over the world naturally quickly reached the ears of Blueprint, who shouted to Liu Jingting across the sea on Twitter: "It is too unimaginative to use the same trick again and again, since it is said that there is a new book coming out in May, why use this kind of smoke bomb?"

The parties came forward to respond, and everyone's complaints became more and more cheerful.

Liu Jingting completely changed his previous state of silence this time, and after receiving a response from Blueprints, he immediately replied-for-tat: "I said very clearly, there are new books in May, and 100% of them are signed 'Liu Jingting', as for the about 58 novels currently circulating around the world, I definitely don't dare to plunder the United States." ”

This head-to-head dialogue between Liu Jingting and Blueprint once again set off a small upsurge in the discussion among netizens around the world.

Americans like to watch solo fights, Chinese netizens like to watch the excitement, since everyone has the same purpose, it is natural to work together to build this ring well.

"In that case, I think it's better for Blueprint and Liu Jingting to choose the same day and time in May to issue a book and fight fairly, wouldn't it be good?"

Before this point of view spread on a large scale, Blueprint once again took this opportunity to speak: ""Star Era" will be released on May 8, which should be fine, but after the novel is released, my film plan will be launched at the same time, I wonder if Mr. Liu will have to prepare a script at the same time?"

In fact, as early as three months ago, the publicity plan of "Star Era" was basically finalized, including the early warm-up, the announcement of the title of the book, and the interaction of book fans, and then Blueprints was interviewed on the radio, mentioning the gamble with Liu Jingting in a ridiculous way, about this, Blueprints thought of several lines.

As a result, I never expected that Liu Jingting's side actually took the initiative to take action, and issued a book in May with an understatement, which opened the battle curtain in advance and disrupted his propaganda plan from a certain kind of Cheng Dù.

But the impact is not great, and the propaganda means are all rivers to the sea. Liu Jingting, as a Nobel Prize winner in literature, is the "king of detectives". It has a very considerable use value, if not, with the current status of Blueprints, there is no need to do this kind of PK-style topic publicity.

After Blueprint released the killer move of "film project", Liu Jingting really fell silent, and seemed to be powerless to deal with it, until the next TV interview. Blueprint struck while the iron was hot, and once again emphasized in detail the film adaptation of "Star Age".

The host was so astute that he immediately led the topic to Liu Jingting. Blueprint in front of the camera smiled: "Of course it's a joke, before I wrote the book, the film plan was in preparation, and that Mr. Liu Jingting." It seems that the new book plan has just been decided. It's not an equal contest, and I don't need to take advantage of it. ”

Blueprint put on this high posture, it is not pure falsification, since he set that competition with Liu Jingting, basically every time he talks about a new book, or the other party publishes a new book, he will receive relevant questions, sometimes more and sometimes less. But it never really stopped.

Later, "The Old Man and the Sea" was born and killed the Nobel Prize. Sales soared all the way in the United States alone, and many readers left messages on Twitter to ridicule him, which once caused emotional distress.

However, fortunately, Liu Jingting only cared about competing with Hesta and others, and did not make any articles about this matter, and because the types of works are far from each other and are not typical, this matter gradually disappeared.

That's why Blueprints and its publicity team have been silent about the sales battle.

As for the demeanor of the predecessors shown by Blueprint in this interview, it is because he thinks that Liu Jingting has tacitly failed and pushed the boat down the river to pick up the fruits of victory.

However, Blueprints announced the victory or defeat of the war in advance, which is tantamount to pouring cold water on the hot comment circle, causing strong dissatisfaction among the majority of netizens, and the excitement has not yet begun, how can you directly announce a truce?

"Are you kidding? What are you kidding! It's already been written out of the war, the scene has been drawn, and the main drama hasn't started at all, Liu Jingting, hurry up and say a few words, you can't just admit defeat. ”

"We've got all our 3D glasses on, show us this?"

On the evening of the 28th, Liu Jingting finally came forward again and updated the microblog: "We can't use Twitter and Facebook, and Mr. Blueprint can't use the microblog, so it's still difficult to communicate." As for the script issue mentioned by Mr. Blueprints, it reminded me, I wonder if there are any Hollywood studios interested in my new work?

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Liu Jingting has no intention of a truce at all, and he is actually pulling a film and television company for the new book, it seems that this time he is going to fight with Blueprints.

As early as after the publication of "Sherlock Holmes", several Hollywood studios have taken the initiative to contact Liu Jingting, including WB Entertainment, which released "Friends".

Sure enough, after Liu Jingting's miniature Bobo was sent, there was no reaction from the blueprint side, but Gong Chengen and Wang Chuanshan called one after another.

"What's the situation with Gu Shuai's new book, do you really want to make a movie?" Gong Chengen went straight to the topic.

"yes. ”

"Can we shoot it ourselves?"

Liu Jingting said helplessly: "The industrial level can't be reached, and I can't shoot, I will talk to your brother to see if he is willing to invest." ”

"Gu Shuai, don't bluff me, how are you going to play this time?"

Liu Jingting said with a smile: "This is a special trade secret, it is inconvenient to say on the phone, I will go to see your brother this weekend, you can also go together." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about it then. ”

As an independent director of Xingyue, Liu Jingting wandered outside for three years, but the salary arrived as scheduled every month, and the contract automatically added a so-called "personal option clause", which means that after the expiration of the first signing time, only Liu Jingting announced his resignation, and the contract was invalidated.

Of course, this clause was temporarily made up by Xingyue for Liu Jingting, in order to keep Liu Jingting, and Liu Jingting couldn't deny this thought.

……

In this case, we might as well add another code by the way, the losing side should go to the bookstore to buy a copy of the other party's work, and then read a chapter live video every day, at least for a month, I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks?"

Blueprints finally responded, and despite his efforts to maintain his demeanor, the anger between the lines could not be concealed.

And the real climax of the early stage of this gamble has finally come.

Liu Jingting did not let everyone wait too long this time, and the day before the end of March, he issued a final statement in the name of "Craftsman's Record": "We accept any reasonable request made by Mr. Blueprint Pelosi, including buying the other party's books and giving them away, carefully reading the other party's works, etc." ”

Don't talk about the readers, even Su Jin, who is responsible for making this statement, can't figure out why the boss is so tough and unwilling to give up an inch of land this time.

……

"Isn't his nickname in our country 'rotten'?"

After completing the translation of a chapter, Yang Lilu asked that question on behalf of everyone, Liu Jingting didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I remember whether it was Lao Chang or who was it at that time, after watching the movie together, he told me that he would write a novel in the future, and change it into a movie, and then kill his prestige?"

Yang Lilu thought for a while, recalled the conversation after leaving the theater, and said, "For this?"

"Isn't the idea high?"

Yang Lilu nodded.

Liu Jingting said: "Actually, some of his criticisms of us are justified, and I don't think so, but what he said makes me uncomfortable to listen to." ”

"Which word?"

"He said to people in private, 'Those idiots kept clamoring to boycott me, but they still paid to watch my movies, and they begged me to make their money, and I was helpless.'" ”

Yang Lilu frowned and said, "What you upload on the Internet is true?"

"At least that's true, so frankly, I've put up with him for a long time. (To be continued......)
