The process of waiting for the first manuscript fee seems to be very long, but fortunately, Su Yang put most of his energy into studying, and the creation of the fifth volume of Xiantu is still going on in an orderly manner, and the dual-purpose makes Su Yang feel a little tired, if it is not clear about the importance and significance of Xiantu to himself, Su Yang even wants to suspend his creation to let himself relax.

Tired of studying and writing, Su Yang no longer sat in front of the computer, turned on the TV, and watched the hit TV series, the more popular TV series in 97 years belonged to the Condor Heroes and the Condor Heroes, and now the version filmed in 9495 is being screened, which is also recognized as a more classic version by later generations. Although it cannot be compared with the computer special effects synthesis of the later era in terms of production technology, the TV series of this era are better than the actors' acting skills and intentions.

Watching the TV series, Su Yang's head was thinking about other things, he thought of the works of Mr. Jin Yong from the novel he was creating, and an idea naturally sprouted, why didn't he think of a way to shoot his novel into a TV series? Nowadays, although Xiantu's readership and sales channels are increasing, after all, the process is slow, and the audience is unlikely to reach the same high level as traditional martial arts in the short term.

Su Yang has watched too many TV series, classics, those that have been criticized as garbage, those that have been remade for a long time, as a reborn person, he definitely has an advantage that can be used in this regard, as soon as this idea came up, Su Yang couldn't suppress the idea of being ready to move, put down the remote control in his hand, picked up the phone and called Wang Xuezhi.

"Uncle Wang, are you in the publishing house now?"

Wang Xuezhi was negotiating with an author who was going to publish a novel at this time, and when he received a call from Su Yang, he informed the author, walked outside and said, "Yes, I just happened to be talking to an author about the contract, is there something you are calling at this time?" ”

Su Yang said on the phone: "Uncle Wang, go to Wen Bin's house in the evening, I have some things I want to discuss with you, it is about Xiantu and the publishing house, if you can, it is best to let Chen Bo also come over!" ”

"Lao Chen is also going to shout? What is so important? Wang Xuezhi was puzzled, even the appearance of piracy in Xiantu Su Yang was very calm, but at this time he listened to the tone was quite eager, for a while Wang Xuezhi subconsciously thought of the problem of Xiantu's creation, could it be that Su Yang encountered difficulties and couldn't write?

Su Yang definitely couldn't explain it clearly on the phone, and the most important thing about this matter was to discuss with Lao Chen, and when he heard this, he said: "Anyway, Uncle Wang will come over at night, and Uncle Chen, I'll talk about it in detail when I get there!" ”

"Okay, I'll work first, and I'll contact you later!"

The phone hung up, Su Yang calmed down and thought about how to say it at night to be more convincing, it is related to the prospect of Xiantu and the development of the publishing house, if you don't think about it well, it will be useless.

That night, Su Yang went to Wang Wenbin's house with the information he had prepared, Wang Wenbin's parents were still not at home, Su Yang had already understood this, Wang Wenbin's parents had to work overtime at night, and they didn't get off work until nine o'clock, and at this time Wang Wenbin was sitting in the living room with Wang Xuezhi watching TV, and on the other side was sitting Lao Chen, who came here for the first time.

"Su Yang, what are you going to say? In such a hurry! Lao Chen took a sip of tea and said.

Su Yang put the prepared materials on the coffee table, sat down next to Wang Wenbin, and said: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, I asked you to come here this time to discuss the issue of Xiantu, I hope you can think about what I say next, this is related to the interests of many people!" ”

"Oh? What's your idea, little guy? Tell me about it! Uncle Chen said with a smile, since he saw the success of Xiantu, Lao Chen no longer regarded Su Yang as an ordinary child, although his age was there, but the conversation was basically equal, and there was no estrangement between elders and juniors.

Wang Xuezhi said with a smile: "You asked me to call Lao Chen over, originally the publishing house had a lot of things to do at night, because you said it was very important, so I put down those things for the time being and came here, I hope what you said is not bad news!" ”

"Of course not!"

Su Yang asked Wang Wenbin to take a pen for himself, and then spread out the information in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "Uncle Chen, what do you think of Xiantu's sales prospects now?" ”

Lao Chen Wenyan said: "Xiantu is currently the most successful work published by the publishing house, up to now, not counting the fourth part that is still being printed, more than 90,000 copies have been distributed, and there are also 30,000 copies of the ten-yuan version, this number will still rise, but the number of the second and third volumes will be reduced compared with the first volume, there are a total of ten volumes, and the more the number of copies will be released in the future, the more it will be reduced, which is also a helpless thing!" ”

"So does Uncle Chen think that if I continue to write the remaining volumes, the total circulation will reach one million copies?" Su Yang said with a smile.

Lao Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Although the prospect of Xiantu is relatively impressive, it is difficult to reach the number of one million copies, unless the distribution scope can cover all provinces and cities in the country, then it is possible, and even more than this number!" ”

"So what does Uncle Chen think can make the sale of Xiantu cover all provinces and cities?" Suyang Road.

"Su Yang, Xiantu is currently very popular, you should be able to think of how much you can get, Tang Su's pen name is limited after all, and it is not easy to make Xiantu distribute to bookstores of all provinces and cities, unless it is possible to increase publicity and advertising!" Old Chen Dao.

Wang Xuezhi on the side said: "Su Yang, do you want to increase publicity?" ”

"You can say that, but what I want to say is very different from this!" Su Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, I don't know if you have considered adapting Xiantu into a TV series?" ”

"This..."

"TV series?"

Lao Chen and Wang Xuezhi were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and Wang Wenbin, who was sitting quietly beside Su Yang, spoke: "What? Su Yang: Do you want Xiantu to be filmed on TV? Then I must watch it! ”

"Su Yang, your idea is not realistic, unless you want to shoot a TV series unless you reach a consensus with the film and television company, basically the film and television company takes the initiative to put it forward, and there are great requirements for the work, after all, Xiantu is only in its infancy, and it is impossible to guarantee how much revenue it can bring after filming into a TV series, and it is difficult for the film and television company to dare to take this risk!" Wang Xuezhi said.

Lao Chen said with a smile: "Su Yang, if you look at your book from a long-term perspective, it is not impossible to make it into a TV series, but it is not possible at present, and the publishing house has not cooperated with film and television companies, even if it is proposed, it is difficult to have a satisfactory result!" ”

Of course I know this, but Uncle Chen can think about it from a different angle, why do you have to go to a film and television company to cooperate? Is it possible to let the emerging publishers do this themselves? Su Yang said.

Lao Chen lit a cigarette, paused when he heard this, and then said: "You can't help but be a little whimsical, the publishing house is a publishing house, not a film and television company, how can you shoot a TV series, and have you considered how much a TV series will cost?" ”

"Uncle Chen, take a look at these materials!"

Su Yang handed over the information placed on the coffee table to Uncle Chen, and said: "At present, Xiantu is indeed not suitable for filming into a TV series, so this idea cannot be implemented for the time being, but the conditions will be built up slowly, and when you have the ability, do you still need to find someone else?" ”

"You want to start your own company?"

Lao Chen didn't believe his eyes a little, Su Yang's information listed detailed plans and specific implementation methods, and even Xinxing Publishing House counted them in. Wang Xuezhi on the side also looked at the information, and said with a wry smile: "Su Yang, I think this is what you want to say, right?" ”

"Uncle Chen, let's tell you the truth, this idea has already existed at the beginning of Xiantu's creation, and the above information is listed by me confidently, Uncle Chen can think about it!" Suyang Road.

Lao Chen looked at the information carefully, and when he first saw it, he felt that Su Yang was too unrealistic, but as he continued to read, Lao Chen found that Su Yang was obviously not a momentary idea, the specific implementation method, and the overall plan, and even some problems that would be encountered had been listed in detail.

"It seems that you are indeed prepared, but I don't agree with your idea, cooperate with the publishing house to open a cultural communication company, not only you have to bear the risk, but the publishing house also has to bear the same risk, even if the funds can be raised, but how can professional and technical personnel be so easy to find, your information is indeed very detailed, and it is indeed very attractive, but Su Yang, don't forget, now you are only sixteen years old, and your studies are still in the starting state, where can you have the ability and energy to open and develop your own company?" Old Chen Zhengse said.

The publishing house is very optimistic about Su Yang, and also recognizes his extraordinary talent and ability in writing, but this does not mean that Su Yang agrees with the idea of opening a company, the most important thing is that this involves the interests of the publishing house, and it also needs to take many risks, and if it is not good, it will lose the original development channel.

"Of course I have considered this problem, but Chen Bo does not need to worry, even if he works together to establish a cultural communication Co., Ltd., or even the later transformation of film and television media, the original work of the emerging publishing house will not be affected, if you really want to talk about the risk, it is Chen Bo you, and myself, I have not told you some of my plans before, because the time is not ripe, if Chen Bo is worried that the publishing house will take risks, in the initial funding, I can put my manuscript fee in full, in addition,Xiantu is just the first step of the work.,At present, I'm only working with the publishing house on this one.,I don't think I should have said.,There are two more after Xiantu, right? This is a plan that I have already decided on at the beginning of my creation! These three works are three character experiences narrated separately in the same background, strictly speaking, Xiantu is just paving the way for the latter two, and in terms of content and plot, the next two will be more attractive! ”

Xiantu let the publishing house taste the sweetness, and if the development is smooth, Su Yang's follow-up works will naturally have to find ways to let the emerging publishing house take it, and now Su Yang is saying this, it is undoubtedly telling sù Lao Chen, although Xiantu is tied to the emerging publishing house, but the follow-up works are still Su Yang's own, and the current market and income are based on the premise of Su Yang's creation, the success of Xiantu means that the two follow-up works he said will have greater markets and business opportunities.
