Save the Bachelor of Heaven

A few days later, Zhu Xiaobei curiously asked Xiang Nan how to write a novel.

Xiang Nan taught her in detail the routines of female channel online novels that he knew.

What Gongdouwen, Changdiwen, Zhaidouwen, the domineering president is in love with me, etc. Zhu Xiaobei exclaimed in amazement, "Oh, it's the first time I've heard that novels can be written like this."

"Actually, writing a novel is very simple. Just follow this routine and write a novella first to test the waters." Xiang Nan suggested, "When you have mastered the routine and your writing style, then write a long novel." Not too late."

"Well, Chen Xiaozheng, thank you." Zhu Xiaobei nodded, "When I make money in the future, I will definitely treat you to a big meal. Of course, if I can't make money, I will treat you too, but I can only treat you to dinner." It's hot and spicy."

"OK, then I'll wait." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.

...

Two days later, people from the film studio came to the school and met Xiang Nan at a cafe in front of the school.

"I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young. He is more famous when he meets you. It's a pleasure to meet you." A lady in her forties who still has a charm shook hands with Xiang Nan with a smile, "I am the vice president of the studio. Xiao Yun."

"Hello, Ms. Xiao." Xiang Nan shook hands with her, and then sat down.

"I've already read Mr. Chen's "Di Renjie Series". The writing is really good. You are really talented." Xiao Yun praised with a smile, "However, I think your "Di Renjie" series seems to have not finished yet. , how many books are you going to write?"

"Oh, I haven't thought about it yet." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I only started writing last year. "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" is my first work. When I first wrote it, I didn't actually think about the later things .

Later, after it was published, the response was not bad, so I wrote "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King" again. As for whether to write more, it all depends on the needs. To be honest, I think this story can be written forever. "

"En." Xiao Yun nodded, "Mr. Chen, our film studio hopes to buy the film and television adaptation rights of your two novels. In addition, we need you to sign a priority cooperation agreement with us.

The "Di Renjie" series of novels you create in the future must be given priority to our film studio for selection. Unless we don't want it, you are not allowed to sell it privately.

Moreover, if other film companies cooperate with you, they must not mention our film studio when promoting it. "

Xiang Nan nodded in understanding.

He knew that since the release of Tsui Hark's three "Di Renjie" series of films, a large number of small film companies came to catch the heat and made dozens of "Di Renjie's XXXX" films.

The investment is extremely small, the scenes are extremely shabby, the story is extremely bad, and the acting skills are extremely poor... Almost all of them are bad films at the level of Internet universities. But because of Tsui Hark's popularity, he can still get a good number of subscriptions.

And this is not the first time that something like this has happened in the entertainment industry. Back then, after Tsui Hark made the "Once Upon a Time" series a hit, many film companies followed suit and filmed "Once Upon a Time". So people should take precautions in advance to avoid being taken advantage of.

"Ms. Xiao, I can sign the priority cooperation agreement. But you have to set a deadline. Otherwise, if you still don't decide whether you want it or not, then my story will be thrown into your hands." Xiang Nan added.

Priority cooperation agreements are a huge pitfall for authors. Many companies rely on such a paper agreement to dominate the author's works, leaving them in a dilemma. Xiang Nan didn't want to fall into this trap.

"Okay, that's one year."

"One year is too long. Your studio is too slow. Let's do it, one month!"

"At least ten months."

"Three months is the most. You know, it is not easy for us to write a book. Three months is enough for you to decide whether a novel is worth investing in."

"No, it will take at least half a year. We have to evaluate the investment and calculate the cost, and it will take at least half a year."

"OK, it's settled." Xiang Nan nodded. In half a year, he could still afford to wait.

In fact, as far as he knows, Tsui Hark's "Di Renjie" series only took three films, and nothing happened.

The reason is that "Di Renjie: The Four Heavenly Kings" is not satisfactory both at the box office and word of mouth, and investors have doubts about the production of the sequel.

In addition, Tsui Hark is getting old after all, and his energy is low. For a movie with such a big cost, big scenes, and big scheduling, he may be getting more and more powerless.

...

Xiang Nan then talked with Xiao Yun about the copyright fee.

Because Xiang Nan has successively launched many stories such as "Di Renjie" series, "Xiu Chun Knife" series, "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Detective Chinatown", and "Tiankeng Eagle Hunting" Such a long story.

He is also a well-known figure in the mainland literary world, so Xiao Yun gave each novel a copyright fee of 300,000 yuan. The price is not bad.

However, Xiang Nan was not too satisfied.

"Ms. Xiao, I wrote the "Di Renjie" series of novels. I know that it needs big scenes, big production, and big special effects to make it well. The total investment of the whole movie is at least 100 million.

And the script is the foundation of a play, which is very important. If you spend 300,000 yuan to buy my story, then it is too insignificant. "Xiang Nan laughed and said, "As far as I know, the script investment in Hollywood usually accounts for about 3% of the total investment, and they can also enjoy 5% of the net income.

According to Hollywood rules, my two novels can sell at least six million yuan. You only spend 600,000 to take it away, which is far too short. "

"Mr. Chen, you also said that it is Hollywood, and we are in the Mainland. The system is different, the market is different, and the treatment is naturally different. To be honest, 300,000 is really not a small amount." Xiao Yun insisted.

"Ms. Xiao, I admit that the mainland film market is not as developed as Hollywood, but don't let it go too far." Xiang Nan smiled, "I know that Director Xu has been planning "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" since 2005.

It has been two years now, and the movie has not yet started. It is said that it is because the script is not good enough. It is my honor that Director Xu has taken a fancy to my story. It's good news for your studio.

If you don't buy my story, I'm afraid the project "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" will have to continue to be delayed. I am humble, but a student, and time is worthless to me. But for Director Xu, if it is delayed for a month, the loss will have to be calculated in millions. "

The internet is a great thing. He found out that Tsui Hark has been preparing for the new film "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" since 2005, but the filming has not started until now. It is said that the script has changed more than ten versions, but it still fails.

Apparently, good scripts are hard to come by for studios. That being the case, Xiang Nan naturally dared to ask for a high price.

"These damned paparazzi!" Xiao Yun couldn't help cursing when he heard this, knowing that Xiang Nan was not easy to fool, "How much do you want?"

"One million, at least one million. I won't talk about less." Xiang Nan stretched out a finger.

Xiao Yun weighed it up and finally nodded.

Thank you book friend Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, thank you!
