These two days are the peak period for college students to return to school, and the quiet Yangtze River College has resumed its bustle, with a flood of people.

Xu Teng's mood was very high, he appeared on the cover of a magazine for the first time in his life, not only handsome, but also the "Legend World Weekly" with a circulation of nearly 200,000 copies. He thought of a domestic interview when Da Liu won the Hugo Award, Da Liu's creative peak was before 2008, and he basically didn't write it later, and really ushered in the first stage of his career, but after 2015.

Xu Teng feels that his situation is similar, he must have been busy in the past two years and has no time to write new novels, but he has saved up four manuscripts of "Blue Star Giant", "Source Code", "Interstellar", "Dark Universe", and a "Galaxy Samurai" of Internet Culture.

In this case, it is about to usher in a ** stage of the road of literary coercion.

After the morning meeting of Tiantian Company, Xu Teng deliberately brought a copy of this issue of "Legend World Weekly" back to the dormitory, preparing to "unintentionally" let Chen Jian appreciate it, so that Chen Nanshen knew what it meant to be handsome and have no friends.

He took his reverie all the way back to the dormitory, and as soon as he pushed the door, he felt that the atmosphere was not good.

Chen Jian and Gu Chen's faces were a little weird, there were several boxes of health food in the dormitory, and there were more than a dozen boxes on the table, high-protein nutritional powder, herbal dietary fiber powder, calcium, iron and vitamin nutritional powder, American ginseng lozenges...... It's messy, and there's all kinds of it.

"What's the situation?" Xu Teng had a bad hunch, this was a bunch of products from the American company Combo.

"Xu Dachang, the executive president of the China region of the American company Combo, just sent a person over and sent you a bunch of company products. The man is in his thirties, claiming to be a former university lecturer, and now he is the four-star person in charge of Kangbao Company in our province. ”

Jian Chen pointed to the chocolate-flavored high-protein nutritional powder he was drinking, "It's a little better than Amway's taste, and the price is a little cheaper." Leader Xu, I'll just say it, your father is the number one master in the Chinese pretending industry, and the two of us are far from him. ”

"Dizzy, you didn't fool me this time, it's not scientific!" Xu Teng was a little dizzy, he didn't expect that Mr. Xu was really the president of Kangbao Company in China, and this large pile of health food was estimated to be worth tens of thousands, enough for them to eat in their dormitory for a semester.

"So, Mother Xu is really a senior executive of ATV?" Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, pondered carefully for a moment, and reminded Jian Chen, "You can go to Hong Kong to participate in the Mr. Asia competition, and you can get a ranking." ”

Jian Chen didn't answer, thinking quietly for a moment, a cluster of sparks flashed in those clear eyes, obviously moved. This is a beast, more exaggerated than Xu Teng, except for the first handsome man in the circle of friends, there is basically no other pursuit in his life.

"Haha, haha. Xu Teng laughed dryly twice, and secretly threw his handsome photo magazine into the trash, which must not be seen by Jian Chen, otherwise it would really stimulate this bastard to participate in the Mr. Asia competition.

Xia Li arrived at Jiangzhou West Bus Station at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Teng still had a lot of time, and there was a beautiful woman Yu in the student union, so he didn't have to worry about it.

He opened the notebook of his Dell ISP series, connected to the Internet cable, searched for it, and must admit that Shenzhou Media Group and President Qin Yi did not fool him, and had begun to promote him significantly, making him the biggest selling point of "Legend World Weekly".

Several major portals have his news reports, in fact, they are all advertorials of Shenzhou Media Group, all kinds of fancy blowing, it is estimated that at least hundreds of thousands of publicity expenses have been invested in the past few days, and the earliest report was published by Shenzhou Novel Network, a subsidiary of Shenzhou Media, four days ago.

Xu Teng found out that Shenzhou Media was also doing similar projects, but it was not an online article, but a traditional publishing nature, and there was little conflict with his daily Chinese network.

Jian Chen poured him a cup of chocolate-flavored high-protein powder, stood behind him and looked at these news reports, "Finally famous, what's new with Asimov Magazine?"

""Blue Star Giant" was published once last month, "Source Code" was published this month, four issues of serialization, and it is estimated that a few short stories can be translated in one edition in the second half of the year. As for "Interstellar", it is estimated that it will also be published in the second half of the year, but this year is my golden years. Xu Teng drank Kangbao's chocolate protein powder, and felt that the taste was really good.

He opened his mailbox and found dozens of business letters, media interview invitations, and advertising endorsements from several small companies.

He has his own operations team, and just by searching for his name on the Internet, or searching for "science fiction writer, summer", it is easy to find Tengyun Space, which has his email address.

Of course, this mailbox is the responsibility of the operation team of Jiangzhou City Network, and Xu Teng generally does not look at it, and the information is very messy.

The number of registered people in Tengyun Space has also surged to tens of thousands, and all kinds of advertising posts are flying around, and there are actually people who sell houses and cars, saying that they sell houses and cars, which is basically a free gift, and get him a free endorsement publicity.

"Dizzy, really famous!" Jian Chen was very calm just now, but now he is not calm.

Xu Teng smiled bitterly, now that he thinks about it, signing a contract with Shenzhou Media Group is still a very correct choice, at least at the current stage, it is more professional and N times more energetic than his own operation team.

Even, he felt that he should sign it directly during the winter vacation, he had already talked with Qin Yi several times at that time, and the brokerage agreement was changed several times according to his requirements, and finally, when the agreement was delivered to him, he still hesitated and delayed signing it for half a month.

Xu Ma is right, many things can be handed over to others to do, let others call the shots, and you can't always do it yourself.

Xu Teng has his own private mailbox, and when he opened it, he found that there were also a bunch of emails, and Qin Yi alone had a few letters.

In an unexpected surprise, the Chinese-American editor of Asimov magazine had just sent Xu Teng an email a few hours earlier, telling him that an agency wanted to buy the rights to the film adaptation of "Blue Star Giant" for $200,000.

Xu Teng corresponded frequently with the Chinese editor named Li Kangding, who exchanged emails almost every week, and the other party estimated that he did not understand the rules and roughly explained them to him.

This is the kind of operating mechanism in the United States, where copyright brokerage companies search for interesting novels, buy them at low prices on a large scale, and then recommend them to film production companies through various channels to make a profit.

The film rights to a novel can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars at the cheapest time, and once successfully sold to several large production companies, it can usually be sold for millions of dollars, and even if it is sold to independent production companies, it can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In addition, there is another situation, that is, the director takes a fancy to a novel and will contact a copyright brokerage company to come forward to purchase the copyright of the film and television series, because the director comes forward directly, and the other party will definitely open his mouth.

Xu Teng's current annual salary is 600,000 US dollars, and 200,000 US dollars does not scare him, but this is indeed a good start, which means that "Blue Star Giant" is one step closer to the goal of adapting it into a movie.

He didn't immediately reply to Li Kangding, the copyright brokerage company is indeed a good way to operate, but a better way to operate is to directly to the whole brokerage company, such as the CAA, UCT, WME in the United States.

Xu Teng also has a full brokerage company, Shenzhou Media.

His luck is still alive, and he should be the second customer signed by Shenzhou Media, because this aspect of the business, Shenzhou Media Group has just begun to be involved, and the first customer is Da Liu.

Both are unpopular writers who write science fiction novels.

Therefore, Xu Teng and Da Liu's agent is directly served by Qin Yi at the deputy general level.

He sent a text message to Qin Yi, and then chatted with QQ for a while, and threw the contact information of this copyright brokerage company to Qin Yi, or Xu's mother's words, let others be the leader.

"Actually, the group has the idea of making a movie, and is currently looking for a script, I have talked to Mr. Wu about your novels, I want to shoot, I am afraid that something will happen. Qin Yi said that Wu is always the chief executive officer of Shenzhou Media Group, second only to Chairman Chen Daqiao, and the rest of the presidents are only the heads of subsidiaries.

Xu Teng understands what the other party means, these science fiction novels of his are really going to be filmed, the scale of investment is too large, and once it fails, it will be a loss for life. Another problem is the censorship system in China, if you spend hundreds of millions of yuan to shoot a movie, but it doesn't pass the censorship, it will be really fatal.

Xu Teng pondered these words, and suddenly made a new discovery, opened the official website of Shenzhou Media Group, browsed carefully, and felt that Chen Daqiao's life had changed a lot, and the selected group president Wu Xiaoyin used to advertise, and the two founded this company together.

Wu Xiaoyin, Xu Teng is too familiar, he used to work with Yang Yun in DNG public relations planning company, which is the fourth largest public relations and marketing planning giant in China, which was founded by Wu Xiaoyin and an advertising company in the United States.

I clicked.

What's going on?

Xu Teng continued to search, dizzy, these two people really did Amway, 97 years of joint stock founded Shenzhou Media, at the beginning of advertising and foreign trade agency, really did a few big cases, made the first pot of gold, made a video website in the middle, a foreign trade business network, the former lost money, the latter made a small profit, only cut into the online game last year.

In other words, these two people are Mr. Xu's downline, they were fooled miserably, right?

This butterfly effect is a bit exaggerated.

Xu Teng thought about it carefully and gave Qin Yi a very accurate answer, ""Blue Star Giant" will find a way to sell it to a big production company and make a fortune, "Source Code", we can shoot it ourselves." ”

At this moment, he felt that no matter how busy he was, he had to take some time to write the novel version of "The Moon", which is a representative work of low-budget science fiction movies.

Chen Daqiao gave him 100 million pocket money, he must have something in return.

His previous idea was to get these novels out, translate them into English, sell them in the United States, and mix them in the American film and television industry, but now that he thinks about it, it is really unrealistic, too nonsense, and it is more realistic to cooperate with Boss Chen's Shenzhou Media.

Chen Daqiao and Wu Xiaoyin's thinking is basically very clear, the entire Shenzhou Media Group is to do the cultural and entertainment industry, online games, movies and TV series, records, magazines, video networks, novel networks, one-stop play.

Mother Xu is right, you have to cooperate with others and leave it to others.

Besides, Xu Ma is now a senior executive of ATV, he can cooperate with his mother to play TV series, get "Step by Step" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" out, and get ATV to shoot, and the fat water will not leave outsiders in the field.

He jumped up and down with another move, integrating the music department, film and television department, Tiantian Company, Shenzhou Media, and Asia Satellite TV of Yangtze River University into an industry alliance, how beautiful this was, he didn't dare to think.

He has to say, it's cool!
