Chapter 206: Who Said Literati Are Simple? (1st Update)

Xu Luo could hear that Jin Yong was very fond of opening up the super market in the mainland.

Whether it's a book, or a film and television adaptation.

He also talked about books when he met Xiao Lao.

But as it stands, the effect isn't too great.

His thieves can be seen everywhere in the interior. Editions of books, and all of them are published by regular publishing houses, and they are also sold in Xinghua Bookstore and other places.

It is said that Jin Yong is very angry, but he is really helpless.

So he didn't talk about books with Xuluo now, only about film and television dramas.

He can still make some money in film and television dramas, and books may have to wait for the opportunity.

Relatively speaking, Xuluo is quite interested in the adaptation of Jin Yong's 15 films.

It is not easy to make genuine films in the mainland, but to make film and television dramas, especially TV dramas, it is really profitable.

No matter how much you make, you will definitely make it.

Don't be afraid of being stuck from above.

On the one hand, Jin Yong is a decent person that Xiao Lao has met and praised.

On the other hand, what am I giving 15% of the share to Eying Studio and 15% to Shuchuan TV?

Is it because their faces are big enough?

Of course not!

Isn't it just that they can shelter me from the wind and rain at a critical time!

At that time, all the review relationships will be handled by them, and I just need to make a good TV series.

This is the reason why Xuluo actively responded to Jin Yong's temptation.

Of course, Jin Yong was willing to hear this, and he laughed and said, "You are a rich man, I can't sell it to you cheaply...... Do you want a movie license, or a TV series license, or do you want to package it together?"

Okay!

The literati became shrewd, and it was really fine to the extreme.

Xu Luo said confidently: "The film market in the mainland is not mature enough, now make TV dramas first, and then make movies when the opportunity is ripe!"

"Okay!"

Jin Yong said: "I will give you the copyright of 15 TV series together, and I will charge you 1 million."

Xuluo was shocked: "1 million?"

Jin Yong smiled and said, "Too expensive?"

"No, no, no......" Xuluo smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to sell it so cheaply!"

That's the copyright of 15 films!

It's less than 100,000 yuan for a piece.

There is more than this price in Xiangjiang, let alone the mainland that is so vast and has so many people.

Jin Yong nodded, "But I have conditions."

"Please!"

"You have to shoot all these TV series within 7 years, and whether you shoot them or not, the rest of the copyright will be invalid, okay?"

Xuluo blinked, and instantly understood what Jin Yong meant.

The old man wants to use Xuluo to quickly open the market.

Because Jin Yong's TV series has never been produced in the mainland before, it is just a wasteland now, and it can only be sold cheaper.

When this version is produced and broadcast, it will definitely cultivate countless Kim Yong fans after 7 years, thus forming a huge audience again, and paving the way for him to sell the copyright at a high price next time.

Maybe the genuine books can also be used to break into the mainland market and achieve good sales!

No wonder it sold me 1 million!

According to the seven-year time limit, I had to produce at least two Kim Yong dramas a year.

The boy began to quickly ponder Jin Yong's fifteen works.

Just when he was buying a book a few days ago, he chatted with his boss about the number of words in Jin Yong's books, and he still remembers it very clearly.

"Yue Nu Sword" and "Mandarin Duck Knife" are ultra-short stories, "Yue Nu Sword" is 16,000 words, "Mandarin Duck Knife" is 30,000 words, it is enough to make a short film of 5-10 episodes.

"White Horse Howling West Wind" is 60,000 words,

"Snow Mountain Flying Fox" is 130,000 words, and "Liancheng Jue" is 220,000 words, and these three can also do 10-15 episodes.

"Chivalrous Journey" is 360,000 words, "Blue Blood Sword" is 410,000 words, "Flying Fox Gaiden" is 440,000 words, and "Book of Swords and Enmity" is 510,000 words, which can be 20-30 episodes.

The remaining "Tianlong Babu" is 1.5 million words, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is 1.5 million words, and "The Legend of the Heaven and the Dragon" is 1.08 million words. "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is 940,000 words, "The Withered Heroes" is 930,000 words, and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is 930,000 words. These can do a long-form series of around 30-50 episodes.

If you arrange your time well, use two or three crews at the same time, and spend all three or five years on Jin Yong's works, the time will be in time.

Although it is a little hard, it is a great good thing to be able to run all the Jinyong martial arts dramas once, whether it is for Xuluo's film and television company or for martial arts fans in the mainland.

After thinking about it, Xuluo raised his head and said to Jin Yong: "I agree to buy the copyright of a TV series for 1 million and 7 years. But I have the right to buy the TV series copyright of Jin Yong's complete episodes again with 10 million after 7 years, and there is no limit to the number of years, but I don't stop you from selling the copyright to others, and everyone can shoot together."

Jin Yong also closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment before nodding, "Yes."

Seven years later, the TV adaptation rights are not only worth 10 million, but Xuluo acts as a pioneer cow, which is equivalent to a reward for him.

Besides, Xuluo doesn't prohibit others from shooting, so Huaguo is so big, others can shoot with him at a staggered pace.

If you shoot "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes", I can shoot "Heroes"!

You shoot "Dragon Babu", and I also have "Book of Swords and Enmity" to film!

The boy didn't finish speaking: "I'll also buy a version of the movie copyright, let's have a full package, Mr. Cha, your price is also discounted."

Compared with TV series, movie copyright is not so restrictive.

For example, in the Xiangjiang Film Industry, everyone can buy the copyright of "Dragon Babu", and then you do it this year, and I will do it in two or three years, and this is no problem.

And there are so many characters in "Dragon Babu", there is no way to cover everything in the movie.

So the movie can intercept one of the protagonists to shoot, such as Xiao Feng, such as Duan Yu, such as Xuzhu...... Isn't that also a perfect stagger?

It's not like a TV series, it takes a long time to produce, and it takes a long time to play, so it's easy to get stuck and fight.

Jin Yong laughed: "Void little friend, you really don't want to suffer!"

Xuluo spread his hands: "What do I mean compared to what you can get from Mr. Cha? You just wait for the genuine version to sell out all over the country!"

Jin Yong said happily, "I look forward to that day!"

In fact, the adaptation rights of film and television dramas are just a means for him to make money.

What Jin Yong really cares about the most is that others read his own books.

It may seem a bit contradictory, but it's actually not contradictory at all.

The book is written word by word, but the film and television works have to be adapted by others, and I can't control how to adapt them.

If you were to change it, would you rather others read your book or watch your film and television adaptations?

Therefore, the important reason why Jin Yong asked Xuluo to do film and television dramas is that he wants to promote the process of his genuine books in the mainland, and strive to let 1.2 billion Chinese people read Jin Yong once - at least one person can read one!

thought of this bright future, but Jin Yong was not generous at all: "Well, you can also take 2 million for the movie version, the production cost in the mainland is not enough, and everyone doesn't have much money to watch the movie, I also understand."

But the mainland is so big, even "Shaolin Temple" can sell more than 100 million box office, and the recent "Jiao Yulu" has also broken 100 million box office? My movie adaptation shouldn't be bad, right?"

Xuluo complained in his heart about this now-literary businessman.

You're no longer the Jin Yong you wrote back then!

Now in front of me is Mr. Cha, a businessman!

But complaining is complaining, and Xuluo has no contempt.

They are a generation of martial arts masters, and their status is there.

What do people do with their own works, can you be an outsider? Is that what you can complain about?

……

After saying this, before I knew it, I was going to finish a cup of coffee.

Jin Yong didn't mention the intention of having people send it again, but just said again: "Xu Xiaoyou, do you really think that Lin Qingxia's undefeated role in the East will be very breakthrough?"

Xuluo nodded: "Mr. Cha, you can't stick to the rules in film creation, otherwise it's not as good as that. So you wait and see, this version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" must be a classic that will last forever."

Jin Yong shuddered, thinking that this little guy was too sensy to speak.

"I'd like to see what kind of amazing method it is." Jin Yong said, "But I invited you over today to ask, did you write a script for Yongsheng's "Deer and Ding Ji"?"

"You know it all?" Xuluo was surprised, it's only been a few days!

"I listened to Miss Chow from Hong Kong Radio, she said. And said it was a very subversive adaptation." Jin Yong looked at Xuluo and smiled wryly: "Do you think that what I write is very old-fashioned, and if you don't adapt it vigorously, you won't be able to attract the audience?"

Xuluo was a little embarrassed, but this did not prevent him from scolding Wang Fatzi in his heart.

Don't think about it, these news must have been revealed to Zhou Huimin by Wang Jing, with the intention of arousing people's interest in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", so as to make his girlfriend shine.

Something of the Piggy Day!

In order to praise your girlfriend, you really dare to say anything!

"There are many adaptations, there are laughing versions, and I am also trying this way." Xuluo, who was hard-headed, replied seriously: "If there is a laughing version, there will be a genuine version, in the future, Mr. Cha, you will watch the TV series I produced in the mainland, which one dissatisfies you, all my national newspapers have published an apology statement, and there is no lake."

Jin Yong laughed dumbly.

This little guy is reminding himself that there are still more than a dozen TV series waiting for him to do, waiting for him to be a wilderness cow for himself.

So don't blame him, don't scold him.

If it was Jin Yong a few decades ago, he would really scold Xuluo.

But just as Xuluo thought, the current Jin Yong is not the Jin Yong who wrote it, but the businessman Mr. Cha.

In terms of film and television adaptation, he is more concerned about his own income than anything else.

Therefore, Jin Yong skipped this topic and talked about another serious matter: "I'm wondering, is it because you haven't written about martial arts, so you adapt martial arts so casually?

I have a proposal, why don't you publish one in our Ming Pao newspaper, give it a try?"

Xuluo blinked: "I write martial arts?"

"That's right!"

Kim Yong said, "You wrote "Alive" so profoundly, wrote "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil" two adventures, wrote so many comic books, and wrote so many movie and TV scripts...... This proves that you have a great talent for writing! Don't worry, I've always been stingy with good authors, how about giving you 100 thousand words?"

Hearing the first half, Xuluo didn't think there was anything.

In the second half, he almost made Xuluo complain in person.

You still call the right author not stingy?

The most stingy boss is you!

Besides, the manuscript fee of 100 words per thousand words is definitely enough for ordinary people.

But when I write a script, all of them add up to only two or three hundred thousand words, and I already get 1 million, and every word is at least 5 yuan!

Are you now 100 thousand words?

Why are you embarrassed to open up this price?

Perhaps because of the surprise of seeing Xuluo, Jin Yong's face also blushed slightly, "Well, as long as you are sure to write, I will make an inscription for you personally, and then the price will rise to 200 thousand words...... This is too high, I couldn't even dream of it, little friend!"

Xuluo directly refused: "No, Mr. Cha, I'm very busy now, and I have a bunch of scripts to write, so I can't spare time to think about and write them slowly!"

"It's okay, I can wait for you." Jin Yong persevered: "It's a good thing to be a martial artist, you can develop in an all-round way!"

"No."

"Void friend, you should think about it seriously." Jin Yong's eyes were a little red, "Now that martial arts are not accepted, I finally saw you as a good seedling, I really can't bear to miss such a great talent as you in the martial arts world!" Martial arts fans, I must be looking forward to your achievements in this area!"

"I'm sorry, I can't."

Xuluo was still very resolute.

My memories inspired me only to movies and TV series, and none of them ever appeared.

Or in my previous life, I was just a person who liked to watch movies and TV series, and I had no interest in reading, so I only had movies and television dramas in my memory.

If you want to make it up, it might still work, but that's completely unnecessary.

If you have to use your shortcomings to meet people, isn't there something wrong with that?
