Chapter 628 Liu Qianqian's Evolution
As a mythological novel that is currently highly recognized in the industry, the copyright of "Journey to the West" is naturally very popular.
But what no one expected was that all the copyrights of this fantasy novel had already been acquired by Baiqian Media.
This is the first reason. The second reason is that "Journey to the West" is also quite special. The special thing is that this novel about gods and demons was hated by everyone at the beginning. In other words, everyone did not like this novel about gods and demons.
At that time, everyone in the industry was cursing. Everyone knew that culture and entertainment have always been inseparable. Since "Journey to the West" was so boycotted and cursed by the industry, then why would they buy it?
It is precisely because of this that when the media reported that Baiqian Media was preparing to sell this fantasy novel and adapt it into a film and television series, everyone thought that Baiqian Media was a fool.
What is the result? ?
As a result, over the past month, the newly released "Journey to the West" has received rave reviews in the industry, which is a major reversal of public opinion.
It turns out that the clown was actually me.
Many film and television companies were in a bit of a dilemma at this time. When they tried to contact the author of "Journey to the West", the other party directly stated that all copyrights were handed over to Su Qing of the publishing house.
Then when I contacted Su Qing again, I was told that the copyright of "Journey to the West" had been sold by Baiqian Media.
I originally thought that Baiqian Media was a clown, but I never expected that the clown would actually be myself.
Currently, "Journey to the West" is one of the hottest IPs, because this mythological novel has set a series of sales records. The first volume has been reprinted all the time, and as for the second volume, the first print run of 2 million copies was sold out directly.
Sometimes, this is the best era, because the Internet is quite developed, and basically one thing can be promoted to the maximum extent. In such a situation, everyone is promoting "Journey to the West", so naturally more people will follow suit and buy it.
There is another so-called discussion on this matter.
That is whether the classical Chinese style of "Journey to the West" is suitable for the market.
In the beginning, when people watched Journey to the West, they thought that this style of writing was not suitable for the market, and they even wondered whether the audience would be able to understand it.
What is the result? ?
As a result, never underestimate the audience, just like many people think that the audience's aesthetic taste is not good.
The audience has aesthetic taste.
The audience can also understand some classical Chinese.
In today's era of rapid development of short videos, many people believe that physical entities are about to die, and even online novels are not read by many people. Under such a situation, the emergence of the mythological novel "Journey to the West" has given everyone great confidence.
This time, in the field of mythological novels, everyone finally understood some of the feelings of science fiction fans.
As long as there is one phenomenal work, there is hope for this genre.
Not to mention that Baiqian Media has also sold all the copyrights of "Journey to the West".
Why is it so chaotic now?
On the one hand, some people in the animation industry are not optimistic about "Journey to the West" being made into an animated film, because the current animation market is quite cruel. What's the point of making an animated film so quickly?
Those who read books may not necessarily watch dramas.
What's more, when Yu Xiaoshu was interviewed, he said that it is suitable for all ages. If an animated film can really be suitable for all ages, then there will naturally be no problem. It can even be said that it has the potential to become a phenomenal work.
But is the problem possible??
It has been a long time since there has been a phenomenal work in the animation market.
Let’s put it this way.
If there really is a phenomenal work, would Chinese comics still end up like this? ?
For this reason, the animation industry is not optimistic, and some even think that Baiqian Media is just here to take advantage of the popularity.
So funny.
The waters in this anime are so deep, do you think you can handle it?
For this reason, everyone watched it for fun.
right.
Some anime people, some people who truly love the animation industry, hope that Yu Xiaoshu can help animation find a new path.
There is no way.
The animation market is similar to the fantasy novel market, there is no future.
Some things can be successful if everyone works hard.
But for some things, no matter how hard we try, the harder we try, the worse we fail.
The college entrance examination is coming soon. Many people even shouted out this year: "God will strike you down if you persuade others to learn animation."
have to.
There's no way to talk about this.
For another group of people, especially people like You Zhihong and those from the Dongyi Film and Television Animation Department, they really want to see how Yu Xiaoshu and Baiqian Media fail.
More than two-thirds of the people from October Culture left, especially Zhang Chao, his childhood friend. More importantly, You Zhihong always felt that he had done his best for Zhou Ming.
Needless to say, Zhang Chao, in You Zhihong's opinion, if it weren't for me, You Zhihong, how could you, Zhang Chao, get to where you are now? ?
But Zhang Chao gave him a beating and even shouted: "It is you, You Zhihong, who is sorry to me, Zhang Chao, not me, Zhang Chao, who is sorry to me, You Zhihong."
Okay.
This made You Zhihong very angry.
He even wondered why he hadn't realized that Zhang Chao was such a sinister villain after all these years. He handed over the editing department to Zhang Chao, but Zhang Chao actually treated him like this.
Then there is Zhou Ming.
You Zhihong believed that the reason two-thirds of the members of October Culture left this time was definitely Zhou Ming's doing.
If it wasn't Zhou Ming, how could so many people leave? ?
At the beginning, Zhou Ming was a newcomer who knew nothing, and You Zhihong taught Zhou Ming step by step. Not only did he teach him screenwriting, he also sent someone to teach him some directing skills.
You Zhihong never thought that he would raise such an ungrateful person.
yes.
I have let you down in some ways.
But putting these aside, is there nothing wrong with what you did?
What’s more important is that You Zhihong suffered heavy losses. Originally, Dongyi Film and Television was going to acquire October Culture for hundreds of millions of dollars, and all the negotiations had been completed.
What a result.
Zhou Ming did this at the critical moment, and You Zhihong lost nearly 200 million yuan in earnings.
Especially since Dongyi Film and Television saw the internal turmoil in October Culture, they would of course take advantage of the situation to lower the price again.
More importantly, if Dongyi Film and Television did not make the acquisition, October Culture would definitely go bankrupt.
Because after as many as 'two-thirds' of the people went to Baiqian Media, do you think 'October Culture' can still operate? ?
Of course, You Zhihong could only secretly be thankful that he had signed the contract before. Otherwise, it would not be just 200 million less in earnings, it would be hard to say whether he could even earn 100 million.
But October Culture has already been in trouble, and this bankruptcy and acquisition is almost equivalent to You Zhihong not making any so-called money.
Others start a company, then get acquired and make 600 to 700 million directly.
He, You Zhihong, started a company and bought several houses. After the company was acquired, he found that he had lost a huge sum of money.
No.
It was a huge loss.
You Zhihong feels that he is the most miserable entrepreneur.
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Why did I work so hard for Chinese comics? I wanted to bring Chinese comics out of the mud. I worked hard to cultivate talents, and then, I ended up like this? ?
You Zhihong has been very angry these days. He hated Zhang Chao and Zhou Ming at the beginning, and now, the person he hates the most is Yu Xiaoshu.
Why do so many people think highly of you, Yu Xiaoshu?
You, Yu Xiaoshu, poached all the people from my October Culture.
There is no hatred between us.
For this reason, You Zhihong naturally hated him.
Not only did he hate him, he was also thinking about how to give Yu Xiaoshu a good beating.
Animated film.
Just today, Yu Xiaoshu actually said in the company that he was planning to shoot another animated film and release it during the Lunar New Year holiday.
hehe.
Does Yu Xiaoshu really understand how much effort it takes to make an animated film? ?
Let’s not talk about the script, after all, it is obvious that Yu Xiaoshu is planning to directly adapt "Journey to the West".
But is Yu Xiaoshu so sure that Journey to the West will be a success? ?
You Zhihong has been working in the animation industry for many years, and he knows that the success of an animation is multifaceted.
Thinking about the three animations produced by Dongyi Film and Television this year, You Zhihong no longer wanted to think about anything else.
He just wants to prove himself now.
At the same time, he wanted to tell Yu Xiaoshu that you, Yu Xiaoshu, are not capable of making animation.
Online, You Zhihong posted another long message, in which he naturally attacked Yu Xiaoshu again.
Anyway, the feud has been formed.
The most important thing is that You Zhihong may not have confidence in other aspects, but in the field of animation, he thinks that no one in the whole country knows as much as he does. Does Yu Xiaoshu think that Chinese animation is the same as you writing science fiction scripts? ?
What You Zhihong has to do now is to stand Yu Xiaoshu up.
No.
To be exact, it is overpraising.
Therefore, You Zhihong is still very smart. Although he seems to be attacking Yu Xiaoshu, he is actually praising Yu Xiaoshu to death.
This time, You Zhihong was still quite smart.
First of all, he said that he had watched two episodes of "Journey to the West", which was really well written. Even though You Zhihong was not familiar with novels about gods and demons, he still thought that "Journey to the West" was really good.
Secondly, he apologized for his previous criticism of Yu Xiaoshu's aesthetics. One is one, two is two. He said that he still despises Yu Xiaoshu's poaching behavior, and it is a kind of poaching behavior that takes advantage of the situation, but he believes in Yu Xiaoshu's ability. Character is character, ability is ability, so he hopes that Yu Xiaoshu can bring hope to Chinese animation.
At the same time, You Zhihong also called on others to stop mocking Yu Xiaoshu. After all, there are fewer and fewer people making Chinese animation nowadays. If Yu Xiaoshu can really do a good job with "Journey to the West", maybe there will be hope for Chinese animation.
Good job.
You Zhihong’s calculations were quite accurate.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu is very popular now, and many people are on his side. For this reason, You Zhihong is ready to change his approach.
This kind of flattery is actually quite common in the entertainment industry.
Yu Xiaoshu had tried the method of flattery before when he was competing with others, and the effect was quite good.
If you can use it, others can use it too.
Yu Xiaoshu also laughed when he saw some of You Zhihong's actions.
This guy is quite smart.
He knew that public opinion was not on his side. After all, at the moment, no matter from which aspect, whether it was publicity or marketing, You Zhihong could not be a match for Yu Xiaoshu.
Baiqian Media’s internet trolls are no joke.
This time, less than a minute after You Zhihong posted the status, Liu Qianqian pushed the door open and said, "Yu Xiaoshu, do you want to fuck him?"
Yu Xiaoshu is working on some detailed outlines for "The Return of the Great Sage". After all, in addition to the outline, he also needs to design the modeling and characters of "The Return of the Great Sage" carefully.
Because these things are in his mind, but others don't know.
Then Yu Xiaoshu needs to do it.
It is easy to be a plagiarist, but it is difficult to be a plagiarist who has ideas and skills.
After all, this also requires real skills.
Over the years, Yu Xiaoshu has never been idle. He has been learning how to be a good professional other than screenwriter, such as director, editor, animator, etc.
In addition, Yu Xiaoshu also learned a lot about music.
Although he didn't have any system, to be honest, Yu Xiaoshu felt that his body had undergone some changes. If he wasn't worried about being captured, he would have wanted to ask scientists to help see if his body had been strengthened.
energy.
The most important thing is energy.
Yu Xiaoshu seemed to have endless energy. Thanks to his strong body, he was able to do many things at the same time, and it seemed as if he had endless energy.
Look, Yu Xiaoshu has already told Liu Qianqian that the company can sign a few new singers next. It doesn’t need to be too many, just a few at first.
Then when Yu Xiaoshu was preparing to play music, Liu Qianqian pushed the door open.
“Who?”
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Liu Qianqian and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Liu, you are the big boss of our company. If you don't do this, you will have a fight. It's like the Black Society."
You know what, ever since Liu Qianqian seemed to have found her own position, she quickly became the leader of the water army and made it bigger and stronger.
Then Liu Qianqian fell in love with this line of work. She thought that the water army business was very interesting. She had countless water armies, and it seemed that she could make clouds and rain with a flip of her hand. In short, Liu Qianqian's talent was lit up.
Manage the navy.
Before this, Liu Qianqian actually didn't know how to manage a company. If it weren't for Yu Xiaoshu, Baiqian Media would have probably been finished long ago. Because of this, Liu Qianqian listened to Yu Xiaoshu in everything.
Anyway, she only pays.
We hit wherever Teacher Yu points.
Then, Baiqian Media gradually became stronger year by year. Liu Qianqian naturally thought that what she did was quite correct, and she even wanted to silently give herself a thumbs up.
Then, it’s the job of the navy.
Liu Qianqian found her own career and became more and more like a big boss.
Naturally, the navy language was used non-stop.
Look, Liu Qianqian came to Yu Xiaoshu and wanted to ask if she wanted to work for You Zhihong?
