Chapter 263: Divergence
In order to complete the adaptation of the script of the first episode of "Very Pure and Ambiguous", Zhao Qian directly redeemed the "Editing Skills and Knowledge Series", incarnated as a senior screenwriter, and began to make a drastic adaptation of "Very Pure and Ambiguous".
In fact, many big-name screenwriters in the screenwriting circle just put up a name, and then let their studio gunmen or screenwriter assistants improve the script. And those editors who are not famous either work as gunmen to slowly boil down, or rely on luck to submit articles from company to company, hoping that any company will take a fancy to their works.
This is much more cruel than the online literature world. The only thing that is the same is that the income is polarized, the top screenwriters have an annual salary of 10 million, and the bottom screenwriters cannot make ends meet.
Zhao Qian is already considered lucky, he has the foundation of the god of online literature, and he doesn't know how much higher the starting point is than others, even if he is an ordinary senior screenwriter, his worth is not as expensive as him. If the film and television copyright is sold smoothly this time, then the number of companies looking for him to write scripts or buy film and television rights will definitely increase in the future.
You can't become a big fat man in one go, Zhao Qian is not in a hurry now, even if he can't sell it for a while, it doesn't matter, classics are always classics, and they will not fade because of the passage of time. For example, "The Legend of Wukong", which was adapted into a movie after 15 years, although the reputation is not very good, and it can even be said that the original work is ruined, but it still achieved a box office of nearly 700 million.
Therefore, Zhao Qian's main task now is to work hard to write books and write more classic works, and it is not too late for the copyright to be sold slowly. Tang San has written more than a dozen works, and there are still many copyrights that have not been sold, all waiting for appreciation!
In the face of his first work that is very likely to be adapted from film and television, Zhao Qian changed it very seriously, including writing all kinds of sub-scenes, and it is estimated that no god has been so conscientious as him.
After adapting the first episode, Zhao Qian directly registered the copyright of his script through the Online Copyright Office, and it took a while for the review to be reviewed, and the certificate would be issued within a month, and he was not in a hurry. What he sent to Wang Huan was only the first episode of the script, and he was not afraid of being plagiarized or anything, and the others were still in his head.
I sent the script to Wang Huan overnight, and then went to sleep, I guess I will reply to myself tomorrow.
β¦β¦
"Let's all share our opinions. Wang Huan looked around and said indifferently.
He was sitting in a company conference room with a few friends, and everyone else was sitting in their seats, each with three papers in front of him.
These are the three scripts that were screened out after a preliminary review, including Zhao Qian's.
One of the young men wearing gold wire glasses said indifferently: "Wang Huan, just with this episode of the script, I want to persuade everyone to buy the film and television copyright of this book, it's a bit too child's play, right?"
He is another shareholder of the company, Zhong Hua, whose family is engaged in clothing foreign trade business. Those who can sit in will naturally not be a small role, and even if the family background is not as good as Wang Huan, it is not much worse.
Hearing Zhong Hua's words, Wang Huan said quietly: "Let's talk about your opinions first." There are already a lot of things that can be seen in this episode, and they are the gods of online literature, and if you buy a book of millions of words, you can shoot it into a series. β
After all, there are millions of words, and it is not easy to melt into a TV series of thirty or forty episodes, and the best way is to make a series. Of course, the premise is that the first season is good, otherwise it can only rot in your hands.
Zhao Guangyu next to Zhong Hua also shook his head: "The price is too expensive, too much over budget." β
The others also nodded subconsciously.
"I agree with Zhong Dong's point of view, after all, we are still in the testing stage, it is better to be steady. β
"After all, the company has just started, and the funds are still insufficient. β
There were eight people in the entire conference room, in addition to Wang Huan, Zhong Hua, Zhao Guangyu, and Lin Zhi, the four company shareholders, as well as the professional managers of the four companies. Now, in addition to Wang Huan and Lin Zhi, the other two shareholders and three managers are not in favor of buying the film and television rights of "Very Pure and Ambiguous".
Several others did not explicitly oppose it, but they did not express support for it.
Although the company still has a lot of money on its books, no one dares to put their eggs in the same basket, and for them, it is better to buy a few more cheap scripts and try them a few more times.
To buy the film and television rights of the great gods, it must start from seven figures. This is also a helpless thing, the general author's film and television copyright is at least six figures, and the great god must be more expensive.
But in the same way, the price is about the same when you find a big-name screenwriter to write, and the adaptation of the great god can still attract many readers and fans of the original work, which is still very cost-effective.
Wang Huan frowned slightly, things were a little different from what he imagined, but he didn't plan to give up this opportunity.
So he pondered the words: "I can guarantee that this money is definitely well spent." You must know the author of this script, but the god who is currently in the limelight is the strongest, even if it is Tang San, they are not as good as him. This can be seen from the recent Baidu search index. β
"Again, it's too expensive. β
Zhao Guangyu was expressionless: "On the contrary, the other two scripts are also very good, and they are both newcomers, which are cheap enough to save a large part of the budget." β
It seems that there is no way to talk about it, and no one can convince anyone.
Wang Huan took a deep breath: "Since this is the case, then I will personally invest in "Very Pure and Ambiguous", which will not affect the normal operation of the company." β
Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Zhong Hua's tone was indifferent, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Wang Huan, are you sure you want to do this?"
Wang Huan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I've known Love Letter for a long time, and I know his strength." It's definitely much more cost-effective to buy the book now before it becomes a big hit, rather than buying it later. Even if this film and television IP is not top-notch, it will not be bad. β
"So be it. Zhong Hua shook his head and said no more.
The meeting was dissolved, but Lin Zhi remained.
"Are you really planning to invest in making this drama yourself?" Lin Zhi didn't understand why he was doing this.
Wang Huan smiled: "Try it, if it doesn't work, you should spend money to buy a lesson." β
Lin Zhi hesitated: "Are you sure this IP can be popular?"
Wang Huan rolled his eyes: "You and Zhong Hua don't pay attention to the Internet at a glance, so naturally I don't know how terrifying this guy is." Let me tell you this, do you know that Tang Sandong dragged watermelons and them?"
"I've heard of it. β
Although the official has not admitted anything positively, now the online literature circle understands that the influence of love letters is no less than that of these top gods, and even surpasses it. And he's got to where he is todayβ"
"It only took half a year!"
The smile on Wang Huan's face was extraordinarily bright.
