Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Added Value of the Work

Although it has been three or four years since the commercialization of online literature in the Yanhuang Empire, it is the first time that an annual meeting and media meeting have been held. In the eyes of many people, online writers do not seem to deserve the name of writers.

Traditional literary authors who have been impacted by online literature have even called online literature unpopular. In this situation, the first writers' annual conference held by Haohan Literature Network has indeed attracted the attention of many netizens and media.

But the media invited to come couldn't have imagined that Lu Wenbin would be the most popular and concerned online author this year. Therefore, the reporters who attended the media conference felt that they had earned it this time.

After the press conference, the media attending the press conference broadcast the interview transcript one after another. Many netizens who follow this annual meeting, as well as book fans who support some authors, most of them want to see the true face of the author of the novel.

As the author of the "Tomb Robbery Stream", the true face of "Tomb Robbery" is undoubtedly the most concerned. The record of a book that has been subscribed to more than one million in a single chapter can be said to have shocked many people who pay attention to online literature.

And its currently updated 'Tomb Robbery Notes' has also unmatched the number of subscriptions on the vast literature network. Coupled with physical book sales and radio drama licensing, many people know that with these two books, the author has become a multimillionaire in more than half a year.

Some people even sighed that writing an online article is faster than trading stocks!

It's just that with the announcement of the identity of the 'thief' by many media, not to mention the eye-catching netizens, even some traditional media have also called it a surprise. Even many entertainment media have reprinted this news.

On the homepage of the Genesis website, the headline even bluntly said: "How many identities does he have?"

Lu Wenbin, who graduated from the Department of Literature of Emperor Film more than half a year ago and is a graduate, was successfully promoted to a newcomer in music creation with an original song "Cherish". Soon after, he wrote the title song of the album for the little diva Xiao Yiyi.

After the two title songs made Xiao Yiyi the most popular diva in the music industry this year, Lu Wenbin's new variety show made Pearl Satellite TV, which made the variety show begin to decline, and became the most watched variety show planner.

Subsequently, the urban youth drama written by him was successfully recognized by Emperor Star Entertainment, and well-known directors joined in. Even though the TV series has not yet been broadcast, its online attention is extraordinary.

music creator, variety show planner, rookie screenwriter, and now he should add another title, that is, a well-known online writer. These identities are superimposed on a young man who is only 21 years old, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Looking at the reports given by many media, Liu Bixue, who was planning to organize this annual meeting, couldn't help but smile and quipped: "It seems that this annual meeting we organized has let you steal the limelight! Congratulations, you are really famous!"

'Mr. Liu, can you not sprinkle salt on the wound? My character, you don't know? People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, if I have a choice, I would rather quietly engage in my creation. It's not a good feeling to be targeted by the media!'

In fact, from the moment he decided to participate in the writers' annual meeting, Lu Wenbin knew that there would be today. After all, in the past six months or so, he has indeed become a figure of media attention. As long as it appears, it will inevitably attract questions from the media.

Fortunately, Lu Wenbin is accustomed to keeping a low profile in front of the media, and if he is replaced by someone else, he has made so many achievements, and the world knows that he has not done so! But the more this is the case, the higher the media's attention will be to him.

Even if Liu Bixue said that Lu Wenbin stole the limelight of the annual meeting, he smiled in his heart, and felt that it was really a wise decision to accept Lu Wenbin's investment in Haohan.com.

After becoming the second shareholder of Haohan.com, Lu Wenbin rarely interfered in the company's business and operation. However, some of its suggestions to the website have promoted the benign development of Haohan.com and enhanced the brand image of Haohan.com.

This writers' annual meeting, in the eyes of many people, was just an internal annual meeting of Haohan.com to discuss merit and deeds. But with Lu Wenbin, the newcomer with the most attention in the entertainment industry, by the way, this annual meeting also attracted the attention of the people.

Earlier, some people who thought that most of the online authors were not engaged in a serious career have gradually become aware of this emerging profession. Knowing that the authors who attended the annual meeting this time have an annual income of one million after tax, many people also find it incredible.

And the real benefit of this annual meeting is still many new authors who plan to engage in the online writer industry. With the media coverage, these newcomer authors also have a reason to tell their parents that writing online articles is not unprofessional.

At the writers' discussion held on the second day, Lu Wenbin's speech once again attracted the attention of the media and writers. And this speech also aroused strong attention from people in the industry.

With yesterday's big show, many authors who attended the annual meeting did not dare to despise this newly rising newcomer in the online literature industry. Compared with them who only make achievements on online articles, Lu Wenbin has already made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

In the face of Liu Bixue's invitation to let him speak, Lu Wenbin also said in a timely manner: "Regarding the development and prospects of online literature, Mr. Liu and all the seniors have already talked a lot before, so I won't take the axe."

Compared with all of you who are seniors in the online literature industry, I can only say that it is a coincidence that I stepped into the online literature circle. But it is undeniable that I, like all of my predecessors, relied on this profession to dig the first pot of gold in my life.

It's just that compared to my predecessors, who are all professional writers, I am engaged in online writing, more because of my major. I believe you also know that I studied screenwriting in the Department of Literature of Emperor Film earlier, and I can be regarded as a professional creator.

I don't have much experience on how to write a good online article, but what I can say is some personal opinion, that is, the added value of our works is far underestimated. In other words, the potential of online literature is huge!"

In order to establish the reputation of the first brand of online literature on Haohan.com through this annual meeting, Lu Wenbin discussed with Liu Bixue. It was decided to officially announce the plan of the big IP of online literature.

In the eyes of everyone looking forward to continuing, Lu Wenbin took a sip of tea and continued: "With the advent of the era of national entertainment, the emergence of online literature has also provided an opportunity for the people to read online.

But many people ignore that online literature is not a fast food, on the contrary, it is a meal worth savoring. A popular online novel, is there no profit to dig except for subscription sharing and physical publishing?

I don't think so! Every original web novel can be loved by readers, which shows that this is a good script and a good idea. The difference between online authors and traditional authors is that we are good at imaginative thinking and creation.

Take the three online novels I wrote as an example, do ghost blowing lanterns and tomb robbery notes have the potential for film and television development?

And in fact, I think so. It's just that many people ignore the extension industry of online literature. Looking at Mei Lijian's commercial blockbusters, isn't the reason why those movies are well-known is precisely because those movies are adapted from well-known anime?

If an anime work can be adapted into a commercial blockbuster, why can't our online literary works? The reason why I made this inference is also because as a rookie screenwriter, I think this path is feasible.

If you follow my Weibo, I believe you should know that I updated a romance novel on Weibo. At present, this novel is already being approved for filming. I believe that in the second half of next year, it will be possible to meet with the people.

In addition, I am here to announce a good news to you on behalf of Mr. Liu. That is the studio run by me, and I have reached a tripartite agreement with the vast literature network and the author Yiye Allure, and will adapt the works of 'The Imperial Princess' created by him.

This cooperation may not necessarily be successful. But personally, I am very optimistic about the adaptation of the work of Yiye Allure, and Yiye Allure will also join the crew as a special guest screenwriter and complete the script adaptation of the novel with me. ”

Although in the news released by Lu Wenbin, the copyright fee for the adaptation was not proposed. But for the online writers present, this news undoubtedly had a great impact on them, letting them know that their works may also be adapted by film and television.

On the other hand, those reporters who were invited to attend the discussion also knew for the first time that online novels could also be adapted into TV series. But think about the fact that the novels of traditional literary authors can be adapted in the past, why can't online novels be adapted?

Just when everyone was shocked by this news, Liu Bixue also said in a timely manner: "Here, first of all, congratulations to Yiye Allure's work for successfully signing a contract to adapt film and television dramas. I believe that there will be more such works in the future.

In addition, I would like to announce that in order to maximize the potential of the author's work, the company will set up a copyright development department to select the works with potential and find a third party to cooperate with the author to develop the added value of the work. ”

The announcement of this news also means that the vast literary network that signed the film and television adaptation rights of the work with the author will also have a greater increase in the copyright value of its works, and the valuation of its company will only rise again!
