It was the first time for Li Mengjiao to do this, so she was a little nervous and sweating while talking.
Wen Ying never thought that Hanhan would be so scheming. She thought that Li Mengjiao was forced into this state because of the mountain of papers left by Xie Qian.
Inwardly, Wen Ying cursed, "Poor little thing!" but she answered Li Mengjiao seriously, "It's pretty good. Readers are actively writing in. Xiao Niu said the circulation of the last and this issue of the magazine was very good. As for Tianjiao wanting to buy the film and television rights, you don't think that the more votes a story gets, the more worthy of adaptation, right?"
It’s not that simple!
Take the voting for the short story group as an example. There are two ways to vote: one is online voting, and the other is to mail in a paper ballot cut out from "Spark" magazine.
For online voting, one IP address will only count as one vote, and a reader can only mail a paper ballot once. The two different voting methods will have different proportions in the final results. Online voting will be calculated as 30%, and paper ballots will be calculated as 70%.
Wen Ying and others have thought of many measures to ensure the fairness of the final voting and have asked notaries to count the votes. However, as long as there are rules, there will be loopholes. If there are finalists who are determined to find loopholes, it will be difficult to completely eliminate the practice of buying tickets.
The first prize winner may not be the best of the 12 stories.
The judges make their choices based on the excitement and novelty of the story, but readers have their own preferences. The story can amaze the readers, and the influence of the writing style cannot be underestimated.
The three judges, including Wen Ying, can only guarantee that all 12 stories in the short story group have reached the final level. How readers will choose and whether the authors will play tricks to cover up the truth are all unknown.
Absolute fairness can never be achieved, and the organizers can only make the results as fair as possible.
It would be the most foolish thing for Tianjiao to buy film and television copyrights based on the final rankings. The works that may win the "Excellence Award" may have a better value for adaptation than the works that win the "First Prize". This requires Tianjiao to have a precise vision when purchasing copyrights... There is also a way for those who are rich and powerful to buy the film and television copyrights of all works regardless of anything, so that nothing will slip through the net.
When Wen Ying said this, Li Mengjiao's eyes lit up:
"Is it still possible?"
This method is the simplest for Mrs. Wang. She would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let one go. Hehe!
The surprise on Li Mengjiao's face was too abrupt, which attracted Xie Qian's attention. Xie Qian handed the corrected test paper to Li Mengjiao, interrupting her happiness: "Of course not."
"Ah? Why not? Wen Ying said it's okay. I think Wen Ying is right!"
Xie Qian is the smartest.
But Li Mengjiao stood firmly with Wen Ying.
Li Mengjiao tried to threaten Xie Qian with her eyes, hoping that he could see the situation clearly. Any boy who tried to go against his girlfriend and won would lose his girlfriend!
Xie Qian was not someone who was easily threatened. His tacit understanding was always reserved for Wen Ying, and he could not connect with Li Mengjiao's brain waves:
"Every shortcut is fun at first, but ultimately leads to a dead end. Buying all the copyrights now is a hassle, not to mention the extra money. Copyrights aren't bought just to store money. Tianjiao will have to adapt the story sooner or later, and then we'll be faced with the same choice: which story is most worth adapting? Choosing the wrong one now means missing out on a valuable story. Choosing the wrong one later won't just be a loss for Tianjiao, it'll be a blow."
What kind of blow?
Major economic losses.
The project was wrongly initiated, and the works could not be sold, so Tianjiao had to accept the loss.
A newly established film and television company has produced two profitable TV series. It can only be said that it has just gained a foothold and can withstand a failure, but the situation that has been opened up with great difficulty may be brought back to its original state.
Taking shortcuts may feel good for a while, but it will end up in the crematorium.
Li Mengjiao was frightened by Xie Qian's description and broke out in a cold sweat. She looked at Wen Ying with a look of help. Wen Ying nodded slightly, but at the same time felt that Xie Qian's words were too blunt: "Oh, why are you scaring her? She will take it seriously!"
Xie Qian was afraid that Li Mengjiao would not take it seriously.
Li Mengjiao was obviously trying to trick Wen Ying into talking.
If I really pick up Wen Ying's words and run away, I will buy the copyrights of all the works that entered the semi-finals of the essay competition in one go. This trouble will still be left to Wen Ying to deal with in the future.
——Hamster is very smart when dealing with other things, but once he faces his friends, he loses his guard. If he doesn't keep a close eye on him, even Li Mengjiao can deceive Hamster.
Xie Qian's attitude was so serious that even Wen Ying, no matter how slow she was, could sense that something was wrong.
"I was wondering why you're suddenly concerned about the rankings in the essay contest. Who are you asking about this for?"
Li Mengjiao was very embarrassed. "Teacher Yuan asked Wang Shuang's mother to select the works and buy the copyright. She had no experience at all and was so worried. Wen Ying, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't play tricks on you again next time!"
Li Mengjiao is the legendary "actively admit mistakes, but make the same mistake again next time". She thinks that in order to get close to Wen Ying, she has to act coquettishly to get away with it.
Xie Qian strongly disagreed, but Wen Ying had no choice but to fall for it.
Wen Ying brushed aside Li Mengjiao's mistake, and was even more puzzled by Mrs. Wang's lack of confidence: "She's watched so many dramas, how can she say she has no experience and let her choose boldly based on her intuition?"
Choose boldly based on your intuition?
Mrs. Wang was even more confused after receiving such an answer.
In the end, Wen Ying decided to skip Li Mengjiao, the middleman, and talk directly to Mrs. Wang. When she said this, Wen Ying was on a plane to Hunan Province. As soon as she got on the plane, Mrs. Wang sat next to Wen Ying.
"Yes, just choose based on your feelings. What you like may not be liked by other audiences, but what you don't like, most of the audience will definitely not like it either."
Wen Ying explained to Mrs. Wang what common aesthetics and user positioning are.
No film or TV series can please all audiences. Mrs. Wang's aesthetics represent the preferences of a part of the audience. She bought the copyright based on her own preferences, and she is successful if she can capture this part of the audience with the same aesthetics.
Mrs. Wang was a little confused.
But that didn't stop Mrs. Wang from thinking Wen Ying was amazing.
"Speak slower, so I can take notes."
Mrs. Wang took out a notebook from her bag and asked Wen Ying to tell the story from the beginning.
Wen Ying looked at Mrs. Wang's notebook cover covered with rhinestones, and her eyes twitched slightly. This is the difference between a rich wife and a social animal.
As a wealthy wife, Mrs. Wang never wanted to enter the workplace and become a social slave. But when she was forced to do so, she would be very serious about it. Even if it was a field she knew nothing about, she would complain but still keep learning even in her middle age... A woman like Mrs. Wang can manage a family well and also fight in the workplace. It would be unfair for Wang Jun not to get rich after marrying such a wife!
Li Mengjiao also didn't understand. She felt dizzy and looked at Wen Ying with admiration.
Zhang Yangning was not very interested in these things. She was still thinking about the album when she got on the plane. There was a performance in Hunan Province that asked her to go, otherwise she would really be reluctant to leave the studio.
Yun Chen was looking at Wen Ying with great interest.
Being creative is a talent.
But what is this about shared aesthetics and user targeting? Where did Wen Ying learn this?!
