The new office of "Craftsman" is also located next to a floor of the annex building, which is decorated with two rooms, one is the library of Yingri Culture, and the other is a small cinema or KTV that can accommodate about 20 people.

According to Liu Jingting's layout, there are no power plugs in the library, and the electrical appliances in the room are only a white electric lamp, which is lonely in the middle of the ceiling.

Two yellow wood bookshelves leaning against the east and west walls are filled with books of various genres by category, one of which is the Yingri Cultural Zone, which is dedicated to the works of Craftsmen and its authors.

Except for the two chairs under the window, a few bean bags and some brightly colored pillows are randomly placed on the floor

"No electronics allowed in the library!"

This is the first iron law that the company's president, Mr. Liu Jingting, personally formulated for the library.

At this time, Mr. President was staying in the library, and he was flipping through a screenwriting tutorial.

The door to the library was gently pushed open, and Kang Lingyue walked in.

"How to tell a story, you want to change careers to become a screenwriter?" Kang Lingyue glanced sideways at the cover of the book and asked Liu Jingting.

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I'm going to try to write a TV series, and I promised Xu Yuan and Lin Xun." ”

"You have so many novels that can be adapted into TV series, why do you have to write something else. ”

Liu Jingting closed the book, turned around and said: "I actually want to challenge the work of screenwriter, but this time, I have more ambitions and want to make a mini-TV series similar to "Friends". ”

Kang Lingyue asked, "Yourself?"

Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "First of all, we all work together. Write a few episodes according to my ideas, and if there is a market, I will contact Gong Chengpin. In addition, a team of professional screenwriters is organized. ”

Liu Jingting said, pointing through the window to the second floor of the main building, and said, "That room can be opened up for them to use." ”

"No wonder you've agreed to move in, there's been a lot of discussion lately about whether it's too much of a luxury for us to live in an office. ”

"That's not what it means, the screenwriting team is here purely for work, and there will be normal attendance for commuting. You're different, and when the bedroom is renovated, everyone has to move in. ”

Kang Lingyue deliberately exaggerated her admiration.

"Oh yes. Keep talking, what books do you come to read?"

"Oh, I've forgotten about business, I'll come and tell you. The global sales of Harry Potter according to the statistics of the bronze number jù company. It has exceeded 10 million. ”

Liu Jingting smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's much faster than expected." Where's Blueprint?"

A little more than 6.2 million, the battle for sales, the winner has been decided, and his readers are already admitting defeat and beginning to lead the topic to the box office of the movie. ”

"This is normal. Liu Jingting put the book back in its place and said, "After all, what we really compare this time is the box office and sales." "The Old Man and the Sea" won. ”

Kang Lingyue subconsciously responded, but there was a slight change in her heart. Consistent with other people's ideas, Kang Lingyue's thoughts on Liu Jingting's challenge to Blueprint are not optimistic, although Liu Jingting is as confident as ever, although he will be unconsciously infected by that kind of self-confidence, but once he calms down and does an objective analysis, he will still come to the unsatisfactory conclusion that "it is inevitable that he will lose".

However, when "Harry Potter" actually came out, when she finished reading this fairy tale in its entirety, her thoughts began to loosen a little, unlike Chang Youdao and Qingjiao, as a returnee who has studied in the United States for many years, it is easier for Kang Lingyue to accept this colorful magical world.

This is a historical and cultural difference, the fantasy field of the Chinese, from ancient mythology, to modern popular novels, it is easier to produce a sense of substitution is "Journey to the West" and other fairy tales and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and other martial arts, as for the background setting of the magic world, although the story itself is wonderful, but it still takes a simple process to fully accept it.

Chang Youdao and others can only theoretically analyze the odds of adaptation, but Kang Lingyue can consciously judge the advantages of "Harry Potter".

"Film adaptations also have a chance to win. Kang Lingyue analyzed: "The bizarre adventures that children are passionate about, the unpredictability that may attract adults, coupled with the right amount of humor and clever suspense design, will attract a large audience even if it is made into a movie." ”

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Of course." ”

Kang Lingyue was stunned for Liu Jingting's quick reaction, and thought, shouldn't you be a little more modest?

"There are already adult readers sharing their reading experiences on the Internet. ”

"Whether it's a fairy tale or a cartoon, a big difficulty lies in the positioning of the audience, sometimes you want to take care of both adults and children, and in the end you may fail on both sides, and sometimes a story written purely for children may eventually attract adults. ”

"When a book becomes a phenomenon, people can't help but flip through it out of curiosity or herd mentality, and the key is the charm of the story itself. ”

……

There are indeed more and more adult or older child readers on the Internet, including college students or urban white-collar workers.

"Imagination knows no age, and the novel has a lot of commendable things about the characters, and has a certain literary and artistic value, so I don't mind being known by my colleagues that I'm reading Harry Potter. ”

"I was genuinely attracted by the wonderful plot of the novel, and I couldn't stop watching 'Shooting the Condor', and I was also full of curiosity about these background worlds that we were not familiar with, and I was looking forward to the next one. ”

From beginning to end, the novel is promoting positive energy and guiding people to goodness, and the core of righteousness and courage mentioned not only educates children, but also reminds us adults. ”

These are high-level readers who share meaning, and the rest are adult readers who are directly involved in the storyline, and they discuss in detail why Harporitus is loved by so many people, the so-called eight factors, the seven details, and so on.

In the end of the analysis, everyone unanimously came to a conclusion: this is another great masterpiece, and this masterpiece was indeed completed by God with the help of Liu Jingting.

……

With the popularity of the "Harry Potter" novel, Gong Chengpin, who had just negotiated a cooperation with WB, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that he chose to trust Liu Jingting again.

At this time, it doesn't matter at all what PK and what confrontation.

Business is business, and it is more important to make more money and maximize profits by legitimate and legal means.

When the May issue of "Craftsman's Record" was launched, Liu Jingting received an invitation letter from Britain at the same time, and the Queen of England personally invited Liu Jingting to the United Kingdom to attend a dinner hosted by the royal family. (To be continued......)
