Chapter 416 Buy the copyright? Don’t even think about it!
But no matter what Lin Fan wants to do, after the release of "Legend of the White Snake", it quickly topped the sales list of Penguin Comics! It directly suppressed other serialized comics.
Regarding such things, other cartoonists on the platform said: We are used to it, just stay calm.
After all, although Lin Fan has too much traffic, which seems like cheating, in fact, Lin Fan does not squeeze out the living space of comic authors. On the contrary, the traffic he brings also brings considerable profits to other authors on the platform.
Moreover, everyone can see that Lin Fan has no intention of deepening his career in the comics field. He publishes comic works on the platform more like cultivating the market. He cultivates a group of original fans for his works, and after having a fan base, he will adapt the works into film and television works.
This format is essentially no different from the situation where the author publishes a work, gains a large number of fans of the original work, and then is noticed by a film and television production company, who purchases the copyright and adapts it into a film or television work. The only difference is that the order is slightly reversed.
But in the eyes of outsiders, apart from the fact that Lin Fan is too confident in himself and believes that his works will definitely be popular with the public, there seems to be nothing particularly to criticize.
Of course, haters are an exception.
In this case, Lin Fan's published works are all short stories, and they are released all at once, so there is not much conflict with other comic authors.
Although there were black fans fanning the flames everywhere, attempting to discredit the fans and use dragnets to provoke a war between other comics' fan groups and Lin Fan's fans, unfortunately, as soon as the black fans fanned the flames, Lin Fan's fans quickly arrived.
The clarification and apology called on everyone to read comics rationally and not be provoked by black fans. After this series of actions, fans of other comics would feel embarrassed to specifically curse back.
But it is not absolute. There are still people who will be provoked by black fans and go to the comment section of "Legend of White Snake" to protest.
[Stupid netizens chatted online: It's all because of Lin Fan, the whole platform is so chaotic, I can't even read comics with peace of mind. Don't use your fan circle's tricks in our comic circle. Lin Fan is already so popular in the entertainment industry, why does he want to harm the comic circle? ]
[Men who love to carry knives: Lin Fan, get off this comic platform! Go back and be your big star, don’t come and bring disaster to the comic circle! ]
[Qiong Xiaoxian: Can Lin Fan control your fans? The entire platform is filled with comments from your fans, sometimes cursing people, sometimes apologizing everywhere, what's going on, is this a scene of a major mental breakdown?]
…
Faced with such a situation, most fans can rationally clarify with the other party and apologize to the author who was harassed by the black fans. However, some fans can't stand it, so the war of words is inevitable.
So, when Lin Fan and Xia Yan were filming, Xiao Wan and Chen Yuan sat side by side, each holding a mobile phone, reporting anti-fans everywhere on the Penguin Comics platform, apologizing to other comic fans, and comforting angry fans. In short, they were so busy that even three power banks prepared in a day were not enough.
But they both enjoyed it.
Only when artists are willing to delegate work tasks to assistants can assistants have a channel for advancement. If artists do not want assistants to be involved in matters beyond their job duties and related to the artist's specific work, then this assistant can basically only be a life assistant and will have no more opportunities for development.
In comparison, Xiao Wan is even luckier than Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan worked as Xia Yan's assistant for more than a year before gradually transitioning to a work assistant. However, Xiao Wan only worked as Lin Fan's assistant for a few months before she started working as a part-time work assistant.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lin Fan's studio is still in its infancy and talents in all aspects are very scarce. Based on the principle of using the familiar rather than the new, Lin Fan naturally wants to promote Xiao Wan. As for what level Xiao Wan can achieve in the end, it depends on Xiao Wan himself.
But as of now, Xiao Wan has adapted well to the change in his role.
"How is it going?" Xia Yan asked casually after finishing his part and returning to the rest area.
Chen Yuan first handed Xia Yan some warm water, and then confirmed whether Xia Yan needed warm clothes or needed to cool down. Although spring has passed and the temperature is gradually rising, the weather in the mountains changes rapidly, with a large temperature difference between day and night, so you need to pay attention to keeping warm and cooling down at all times.
After finishing all this, Chen Yuan answered Xia Yan's question: "It's OK. It didn't cause a large-scale quarrel, but small-scale quarrels are inevitable."
This is normal. Even if they are loyal fans of Lin Fan, they have their own ideas. It is impossible for them to watch others abuse them and remain indifferent. In addition, black fans do it on purpose. If they meet someone with a bad temper or who happens to be in a bad mood, they will definitely fight.
Idols have to pay for their fans' behavior, and let's not argue whether this statement is reasonable. But no matter what group it is, there will always be people with extreme ideas. They may be black fans or loyal fans.
But no matter whether it is the black fans who are abusing him, or the loyal fans who are fighting with the black fans to protect Lin Fan, in the eyes of passers-by, they are all fans of Lin Fan, and ultimately the blame will be placed on Lin Fan himself.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Just report it." Xia Yan took his phone and planned to log into his secondary account to help Lin Fan report a wave of black fans.
But as soon as I picked up the phone, I received a message.
[Zhang Youling: Yanyan, are you free recently? Would it be convenient for us to arrange a time to have a meal together? ]
Xia Yan frowned his handsome eyebrows and did not reply immediately. Instead, he sent a message to Yang Hongxia.
[Little Fairy: Sister Xia, have you contacted Lin Fan’s studio about any projects recently? ]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not long after the message was sent, Yang Hongxia called: "Yanyan, how did you know about this?"
Xia Yan replied, "I guessed. Sister Lingling sent me a message just now. She knew I was filming in another city, and she said she wanted to treat me to a meal. It's obvious that she couldn't just want to treat me to a meal."
Yang Hongxia laughed: "So it's her, that's not surprising."
"Really? Is it a film and television project?" Xia Yan was curious.
Yang Hongxia didn’t keep it a secret: “Yes, it’s Hu Yuhua from Shanghai Film Studios. She intends to buy the film and television rights to the Legend of the White Snake that Lin Fan just uploaded, and wants to adapt it into a TV series.”
"Then Sister Xia, you must have rejected her."
Yang Hongxia was speechless: "How do you know I refused?"
Xia Yan looked over at the set, and saw Lin Fan, who was staring intently at the monitor, and said softly, "Because we all know that whether it's the currently filming A Chinese Ghost Story, Liang Zhu, or the just released Legend of the White Snake, these are all Lin Fan's own works."
These are all works that Lin Fan is preparing to adapt into film and television. It is okay to cooperate with Shanghai Film Group, but it is absolutely impossible to sell the copyright.
