Although Meng Wen is a person who doesn't even get a college diploma, it's a little regrettable for a scholarly family like Xun Zhiyuan, but this qiē is a bit insignificant under Meng Wen's extraordinary talent, especially Meng Wenlai is the same kind of person as himself, a writer, this is what makes Xun Zhiyuan the most satisfied.

If Meng Wen was to achieve himself through other means, even if he was a billionaire, it is estimated that Xun Zhiyuan would not agree to the relationship between the two so lightly. In Xun Zhiyuan's eyes, this kind of person can be described in three words, that is, nouveau riche! But Meng Wen is different, he is literary and talented, and he is recognized by the society, although he is not very handsome, but he is also polite and polite, and he is a perfect match for such a scholarly family.

It is said that literati are light, but it also depends on what the relationship is, if it is his son-in-law, no matter how talented he is, it is not too much.

Xun Zhiyuan now looks at Meng Wen, the old man looks at his son-in-law, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is, but there is one point, it is not very good, that is, he looks a little introverted, not very easy to talk, and I don't know if it is the first time I see myself nervous or the personality is like this, but the literati have a bit of personality, and it is understandable. So Xun Zhiyuan took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Meng Wen, how are your new book sales this time?"

Meng Wen replied: "It's okay, I was able to maintain a hundred thousand a day for the first two days, but yesterday it was not very clear, and the vice president in charge of this matter also came to Haicheng to arrange this meeting, and he probably didn't care about it." ”

Although Xun Zhiyuan knew that Meng Wen was very popular at the moment, he was still surprised to hear that Meng Wen could sell more than 100,000 copies of a novel a day, but he was not jealous, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart, his daughter was really good, and said: "More than 100,000 a day, that's very good." It's not a problem to sell 2 million copies well. You see, your aunt and I are both writers, but we haven't been able to sell millions of books after writing a book all my life?"

Meng Wen heard Xun Zhiyuan depreciating himself to elevate himself, and hurriedly said modestly: "I can't compare with uncles and aunts, you are really engaged in literature." I'm a novelist, just to cater to the public's taste, which is not a big achievement. ”

Xun Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to be modest, writing novels can make so many people like it, does it also show your ability? Otherwise, why can you make so many people like so many novels." But there is one thing I want to remind you, I see that you don't care much about the sales of your new books, this is not good, if you are always like this, the publishing house knows your habits, and may do something about it, if you really want to reduce your sales by 180,000, then you will be the one who suffers. ”

Meng Wen didn't explain anything, and responded: "Thank you, uncle, I'll pay attention." ”

Meng Wen didn't say anything, and later Xun Hanlei was afraid that her father would have a bad impression of Meng Wen, so she explained: "Dad, you don't know, our teacher Ouyang's grandfather is the president of their publishing house, and that vice president Hu Li is also like a classmate of Meng Wen's father." That's why Meng Wen is so relieved to hand over the novel to them. ”

Xun Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Teacher Ouyang, who is you, your university teacher?"

Xun Hanlei said: "Well, but later, she left school with Meng Wen, and now she is Meng Wen's agent and is also responsible for managing Meng Wen's studio. ”

Xun Zhiyuan was interested when he heard it, and such a teacher actually had the courage to go to the sea to do it with his students, if he didn't really look at the school's behavior, then he was optimistic about Meng Wen's ability. But it's no wonder that judging from Meng Wen's current achievements, he shouldn't be very ordinary in school. Thinking about it now, this teacher Ouyang is not wrong to choose, according to Meng Wen's current development trend, being Meng Wen's agent will definitely be much better than being a university teacher. Then he smiled and said, "You teacher is very thoughtful, why didn't her agent come with this meeting?"

Meng Wen hurriedly replied: "Because there are still some things in the studio, Teacher Ouyang needs to stay in Jin City to deal with them." ”。 Meng Wen saw that Xun Zhiyuan didn't care about Ouyang Die's situation at all, and it was estimated that he didn't know that Teacher Ouyang was a young and beautiful female teacher, otherwise he would definitely not be so calm.

Xun Zhiyuan didn't get too entangled in Ouyang Die, and now Xun Zhiyuan was most interested in the one in front of him, and asked: "I didn't expect you to have your own studio, what are you usually here for?

Meng Wen said honestly: "With this plan, the current studio is mainly filming some online dramas. In the future, I plan to adapt the martial arts novels I wrote into TV series. ”

Xun Zhiyuan didn't expect Meng Wen to even think about adapting the TV series by himself, although Xun Zhiyuan's own novel has not been adapted, but many friends around him have similar treatment. If it is only adapted into a script, it may not be very difficult, but if you really want to make a TV series, it is not something that can be done by talking, so I asked: "Adapt it into a TV series?" Do you want to adapt it into a script to sell it yourself or do it yourself completely. ”

Of course, I filmed it myself, and I handed it over to others after I adapted it, so it didn't cheapen others in vain. However, Meng Wen could only imagine these words in his heart, and he was still polite to his future father-in-law, and said euphemistically: "I plan to shoot it myself." I'm still quite optimistic about the market for my novels. ”

"You shoot it yourself. That's a good idea, but making TV isn't writing a novel after all. When writing a novel, you just need to calm down and write it when you have time. But this TV shoot not only involves review and distribution, this funding is also a big problem, martial arts TV series, this investment is not small. Where are you going to get all this money?" Xun Zhiyuan didn't know much about Meng Wen's specific situation, mainly because he didn't understand Meng Wen's earning ability, and Meng Wen's current popularity in the entertainment industry, so he was worried about whether Meng Wen could make a TV series.

"It's easy to say that I have a part of this fund, it's really not enough, I can go to others to invest. Meng Wen explained.

Xun Zhiyuan was not very satisfied with Meng Wen's explanation, but after all, it was the first time he wanted to meet, and Xun Zhiyuan didn't want to interfere too much in Meng Wen's affairs, so he thought about talking to his daughter in private. So he didn't delve into it: "Okay, you can just have your own ideas." ”

As soon as Xun Hanlei heard her father's tone, she knew that her father still didn't believe that Meng Wen could make a TV series, so she interjected in the back: "Dad, don't worry." Meng Wen is not short of this money. ”

"That is, Meng Wen is a local tyrant now. She hadn't spoken, Wang Ting also joked with a smile.

Xun Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you think that making TV is a game, you can make one with 1.8 million yuan." There are many doorways in this, and martial arts dramas have always cost relatively large, even if they are small, they can't be made at all by eight million each. Xun Zhiyuan also regarded Xun Hanlei and Wang Ting as children, thinking that the two didn't understand the trade, and completely forgot that his daughter is now also a little star who has filmed online dramas.

However, Xun Hanlei and Wang Ting really didn't expect that it would take so much money to make a martial arts drama. The two women's "Waste Wood Brothers" didn't even use one million, although they knew that the cost of regular TV series was higher, but they didn't expect it to be so high. Xun Hanlei couldn't help but ask: "Meng Wen, does it take so much money to shoot a TV series? 10 million, can you earn it back? Didn't we only spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on the online drama we filmed last time?"

Meng Wen explained: "Our online drama is relatively simple, there is no need to change the scene, and there is no need to invite any stars, so it doesn't cost much." If you really want to make a martial arts drama, it's good to be able to come down with 10 million. The day before yesterday, I went to Beijing, and Kuying released a self-made drama plan, which will spend 300 million to produce 5 online dramas, and an average of 60 million is 60 million. Although it is said that it is a gimmick, it is still very possible to have 20 or 30 million per part. ”

Xun Hanlei said with some emotion: "Ah, they are really willing to spend money. ”

On the side, Wang Ting said unconvinced: "Isn't it twenty or thirty million? What is this, will Meng Wen come back when he writes a few songs?"

"It's also ha. Xun Hanlei agreed.

Xun Zhiyuan was stunned by what his daughter's classmates said, twenty or thirty million, it's nothing, write a few songs and come back? What songs can be so valuable? The key is that the children still look approving. Xun Zhiyuan asked in disbelief: "A song, just a few hundred words, can it be so valuable?"

Meng Wen explained: "The music market is relatively good now, and the consumption base is also relatively large. Unlike literary works, maybe one out of ten people likes to buy books and read them, and there are a few young people who don't listen to this song now. Now there are more than one billion people in the country, and if you calculate it by one percent, there are 10 million people who download and listen to a song, and each song costs a dime, which is one million. If you're releasing an album or something, it's even more profitable. ”

Xun Zhiyuan listened to Meng Wenyi's explanation, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said: "It seems that we can't accept the old anymore, and we can't keep up with the pace of the times." We usually write for magazines, and we can give five yuan per word, which is the treatment of top writers. And now, according to your calculations, this word is not more than thousands. "Even if Xun Zhiyuan is open-minded, I can't help but feel a little surprised.

Meng Wen knew that his words might have inadvertently hurt traditional writers, and the hidden persistence and self-esteem in his heart made him regret it a little, and he really owed it. hurriedly added: "Actually, that's not the case, after all, there are only a few people who can really download more than 10 million, and even if the song can earn millions in the end, there are only tens of thousands of people who can write lyrics, and most of them still fall into the hands of brokerage companies." ”

"A lyric is tens of thousands of yuan, that's not cheap, and the average is dozens of yuan per word. Although he said so, Xun Zhiyuan felt a lot more comfortable. In fact, Meng Wen didn't explain, Xun Zhiyuan was only a little bit of a feeling at most, and he also understood in his heart that the situation Meng Wen said was estimated to be a very rare situation. Xun Zhiyuan is not a fool, if he really wants to write a song to make so much money, then he is not satisfied that the streets are all writing songs.

Take writing as an example, there are those who can earn tens of millions of dollars with a book, but there are too few such people, and it is estimated that there will not be one in a year. There is a lot of truth in the fact that 80 percent of the world's wealth is concentrated in the hands of 20 percent. Used in different industries, it is the same, no matter how unprofitable the industry, a few people who can stand at the top will make a lot of money.
