Mango TV and Chinese websites have contracted the copyrights of four martial arts works for film and television adaptation at once, seemingly trying to monopolize Li Changle's martial arts works. It has to be said that Mango TV has an incredibly big appetite and an incredibly large amount of money.
It can be seen that Mango TV is determined to make its own film and television dramas. Although this cooperation with the Chinese website is not completely self-produced, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is important to choose a good starting point. Ji Zizhang believes that adapting Li Changle's martial arts works is a very good starting point.
The buyout fee for this copyright from Mango TV alone is enough to cover the net profit of the Chinese website for the first half of last year. The Chinese website made a lot of money, and Li Changle also made a lot of money.
The news that Mango TV and Chinese websites had bought out the copyrights of The Shooting Trilogy and Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils quickly spread on the Internet. One can only say that this is very Mango TV. It would not be Mango TV's style if it didn't hype it up a bit.
Mango TV was not as secretive as usual this time. After releasing the news, it generously acknowledged the matter through official channels, and the popularity on the Internet instantly reached its peak.
In fact, Mango TV’s reputation on the Internet is not very good. Although the ratings have always been good, its reputation has been declining because the dramas it introduced in recent years have been too shocking.
That's why Mango TV decided to set up a film and television department. Since the imported TV series are not good, they will make their own. However, it is clear that netizens are not so optimistic about this cooperation.
"Fuck! Didn't the Chinese website always cooperate with Penguin Pictures? Why did it switch to Mango TV this time? I don't understand."
"Is Mango TV serious? Is it the one that only shows Mary Sue dramas, like "The Overbearing Boss Falls in Love with Me," and dramas about the pain of youth?"
"Haha, Mango TV, even dogs would shake their heads when watching it."
"I just hope that Mango TV will take this copyright seriously after acquiring it, and please don't turn a martial arts drama into a romance TV series. Otherwise, I will be really grateful."
"What the hell is going on with the Chinese website? The Chinese Paladin series produced by Penguin Pictures is really impressive. Why didn't they continue the cooperation?"

Although the general public on the Internet was not optimistic about Mango TV taking over the copyright adaptation of these novels, Ji Zizhang and others no longer had time to care about these comments. Yu Qiuqin and Ji Zizhang were both people who did what they said. After seeking Li Changle's opinion, both sides started to work on the project without any delay.
A few days later, the project of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was established. Li Changle suggested to Ji Zizhang that they should first adapt and remake Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
The main reason is that compared with the The Return of the Condor Heroes trilogy, The Return of the Condor Heroes has a more compact plot, and the tension in the plot is almost from the beginning to the end. The effect presented in the TV series will be much better than the slow-burning The Return of the Condor Heroes.
The TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is still directed by Guo Zongming. There is no surprise here. Ji Zizhan and Li Changle have the same idea.
Ji Zizhang knew Guo Zongming. Before last year, he had not been able to make it in the TV drama circle because he was too straightforward.
Many investors are not very interested in him. There are not many talented directors, but he is definitely not the only one. Others are more alert than him. It is because he met bosses like Li Changle and Chinese Network that Guo Zongming met. Otherwise, he would have to stay at home idle for the rest of his life.
However, apart from his bad temper and straightforward personality, Guo Zongming is undoubtedly an excellent director, so there is no problem in choosing him.
Li Changle's case was relatively simple. It was simply because he was used to partnering with Guo Zongming. He didn't know if another partner's temperament would suit his taste. No matter how good the person was, in Li Changle's eyes, Guo Zongming was at least a friend with whom he could make close friends.
When Guo Zongming heard Li Changle say that Mango TV invited him to film a TV series, his first reaction was to refuse. Mango TV not only has a bad reputation among the public, but it is also obviously not very good in the director circle.
After filming The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Guo Zongming has been idle at home. Apparently, he has not paid much attention to the news on the Internet. He is obviously unaware that Mango TV has contracted the copyrights of Li Changle's four martial arts novels.
After Li Changle spent a few minutes explaining the whole story, Guo Zongming suddenly realized what was going on. Seeing Guo Zongming's slight hesitation, Li Changle still started to persuade him.
"Director Guo, don't worry. Although Mango TV has many shortcomings and its reputation may not be very good, they will not interfere too much with your work as a director on the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils project. It's similar to when you were filming Chinese Paladin."
Li Changle could see Guo Zongming's concerns. Mango TV was famous for its love of promoting artists, and Guo Zongming was a director who demanded absolute control over the crew. If one chose to work under them, there might be such troubles, so he was always hesitant. After all, this was not the first time Guo Zongming had encountered such a thing.
Guo Zongming hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to the matter. Apart from anything else, Guo Zongming felt that he could trust Li Changle.
Guo Zongming said with some emotion: "Hey, I really don't want to deal with Mango TV, but who made me think that the copyrights of several martial arts works that I have always cared about have been bought out by them. Since you can say so, Changle, I will choose to believe them this time."
Li Changle was very happy that Guo Zongming could agree to this matter. Originally, Ji Zizhan went directly to Guo Zongming for this matter, but Li Changle knew Guo Zongming's temper well. If Ji Zizhan had really come first, Guo Zongming might not agree, even if the script was Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.
