Chapter 106: The Covenant War
"Ying Shao, Daming TV wants to interview you!" the little assistant Liu Sha reminded Ying Shuai, who was writing the script.
"The new film plan has not been released yet, what is the time to interview me?"
Although Yingshuai was puzzled, Daming TV couldn't be offended casually, so he closed the computer and invited someone in.
It was a female reporter who came in, and Yingshuai looked familiar, it turned out to be the one who interviewed in the library book city in the morning.
The female reporter said: "Director Ying, hello, I'm Xiao Lin of Daming TV, today Wei Zhen challenged you at his new book conference, to have a fair competition with you, I hope you can also launch a novel to compete with his new book." ”
Yingshuai said with a smile: "This doesn't seem necessary." ”
Xiao Lin didn't give up, and said with a smile: "The audience also hopes that you two of the most talented young people in the Ming Dynasty will have a fair competition." ”
"Are you sure?" asked the marshal.
"Uh... It should be right, the contention of a hundred schools of thought has always been the audience's favorite to watch. Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment by Yingshuai's unexpected answer, but fortunately she reacted.
"But I'm just a director, and I'm better than a writer?" asked Ying Shuai rhetorically.
Xiao Lin showed a hint of embarrassment in her smile, but saw that Ying Shuai showed a sly smile and said: "What's more, the two of us can't be said to be the most talented young people in the Ming Dynasty, but I've heard that this morning, a book called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a new book that overwhelms Wei Zhen, and I heard that the author of that book is younger than Wei Zhen." ”
"Oh, does the Ying Dao know the author of the Condor Shooting?" Xiao Lin came to his senses when he heard this.
Ying Shuai said slowly: "Of course I know, he and I are like a person, and he has handed over the film and television adaptation rights of Condor Shooting to me." ”
"So, Director Ying, are you going to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Is it convenient to reveal the details?" Xiao Lin was excited, and caught a big news, where can she care about any gambling contract.
Ying Shuai smiled: "I can only say that it will be a TV series, at present, only the male protagonist has been determined, and the heroine will be recruited from the whole country through the audition, and there is only one requirement, if you like the book Condor shooting, and at the same time feel that your image is close to the characters in the book, you can participate in the audition." ”
Xiao Lin said excitedly: "It's not a movie, the British director should be directing a TV series for the first time, I think the audience will be looking forward to it, so who is the actor?"
Yingshuai smiled and said nothing, now is not the time to reveal too many details, only by slowly revealing the details of the film can we continue to maintain the heat and attract the audience.
Xiao Lin looked at Yingshuai's appearance and knew that she couldn't dig up more news, so her professional ethics urged her to ask questions, after all, with such a big red envelope as Wei Zhen, how could she do it without doing something.
She asked, "By the way, Director Ying, you haven't answered whether you will agree to Wei Zhen's challenge or not." ”
Ying Shuai asked strangely: "Didn't you say that this is the most talented in Daming, the competition between two young people?"
Xiao Lin asked, "Yes, do you agree?"
"What does that have to do with Wei Zhen?" Ying Shuai pretended to be shocked, and said, "I have long had a bet with Qingzi Champion to see if the book he wrote is good, or if the TV series I made is wonderful, whoever loses will donate 1 million to buy books and give them to children in the mountains." ”
"Uhhhh Okay, then we will look forward to the results of this competition!" Xiao Lin thought about Wei Zhen's book being beaten by Qingzi Champion, so she had to end this interview in a hurry.
That night, the interview was officially broadcast on TV, and Wei Zhen imagined the expression of Yingshuai in the face of his challenge, overwhelmed, embarrassed, and even afraid, but he never imagined that he would be ignored by a director.
"The duel between the most talented young people in the Ming Dynasty?handsome!Qingzi Champion!I won't let you go!" Wei Zhen's eyes were on fire when he saw it, and a mouthful of blood finally didn't hold it and sprayed on the screen.
。。。
Martial Arts Magazine, Hanging Garden on the top floor.
"Lao Zhu, the more I look at your garden, the more I love it, or I will take less shares, and it will be mine." Ying Shuai said to Zhu Lao.
This sky garden is not under the name of the martial arts entertainment company, it belongs to Zhu Lao's private property.
"Boy, what are you daydreaming about? Didn't you say that the Condor Shooting is a trilogy? What about the other two?" Zhu Lao ignored him, and asked him to ask for the book in the back, but he finished reading the Condor Shooting.
"Give!" Hero handed him the Condor and Yitian.
"Young boy, I'm strange, I didn't promote it this time, why did your book sell so well?" Zhu Lao happily took the book, flipped through it, and asked casually.
"It seems that you don't have access to the Internet and don't care about your own industry. Ying Shuai said as he opened the introduction of the new book to Hawkeye and pointed to the link under the Condor Shooting.
Zhu Lao read suspiciously: "Please click the following link for the Condor trial reading chapter. ”
He tried to click on it, but entered the website of "Martial Arts" magazine, but the layout was very different, more concise and atmospheric.
The screen quickly enters the pages of the Condor book, and below the introduction are three buttons, which say "Free Trial", "Add to Bookshelf", and "Vote Recommend".
Although Yingshuai invested in martial arts with the full copyright of three novels, he still took the exclusive distribution right of the Internet in his own hands, so Zhu Lao was not surprised that the e-book of Condor Shooting appeared on the website.
He tried to click into the free trial, but the chapter table of contents appeared, but there were only the first twelve chapters, and now the physical book has come out of the first volume, which is the fifteenth chapter.
Zhu Lao clicked on the first chapter again, hurriedly skimmed through it and clicked on the next chapter, but when he continued to click after reading the third chapter, only the first hundred words of the fourth chapter jumped out, and a line prompted below "You have finished reading all the free chapters, if you want to continue reading the VIP chapter, please click to buy." ”
Zhu Lao looked at Yingshuai suspiciously, lowered his head and thought about it, this model is not in Daming, online novels are now free, websites mainly rely on advertising to make profits, novels are charged on the Internet, does anyone read them?
Of course, the overall quality of online novels is not good now, and high-quality martial arts novels like Condor shooting are not worrying about subscription, but what about physical books?
Zhu Lao couldn't understand many questions in his heart, but he vaguely felt that Yingshuai's method was very meaningful, but he originally ran a magazine for his hobby, so he didn't think about it if he didn't understand.
"It turns out that you attracted readers by publishing the previous chapters for free, which is a full 70,000 words, which is worth the amount of a magazine issue, no wonder. However, Zhu Lao still figured out the reason for the hot sale of Condor Shooting.
Ying Shuai smiled and acquiesced, but said: "Old Zhu, I still have one more thing to discuss with you, the TV series of Condor Shooting is about to start, I have an idea."
Let's not shoot it all at once, according to the speed of physical book publishing, shoot the first season first, my script has been written, a total of 20 episodes, the name is "Iron Blood Pill Heart". ”
"It's okay this way, we can also adjust the plot according to the audience's feedback, and we don't have to sell the copyright all at once, and we can raise the price of the second part of the hit. Zhu Lao quickly understood the key.
The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled.
