Chapter 236 The Outrageous Operation of Qidian Copyright Department
Pu Dingle's creations have always been very self-centered.
The editor cannot influence his content even a little bit.
Minghe once tried to persuade Pu Dingle to try not to do such things as stabbing important characters in the future for the sake of grades. There are many plots to choose from, so there is no need to do this.
Then, Pu Dingle was very excited and stabbed Rong Hao by the way.
Minghe knew his status at this time.
He was just a small editor-in-chief of Qidian. What could he do to Pu Dada? He could only fill him with recommendations.
"Pu Dingle's best-selling selection recommendation is simply invincible. This increase is a miracle! If he can still participate in the Twelve Heavenly Kings election this year, he will be directly selected for a position, no need to think about it!"
Other editors in Group 2 responded: "Boss, our current recommendation positions are ranked according to the recommendation effect. The better the effect, the shorter the recommendation cycle. So, what about Pu Ju's wave? Which level is it?"
Minghe pondered for a moment: "This may have exceeded our current three-level division. 10 days, 30 days, 60 days. I feel that Pu Dingle's recommendation should be operated separately. Conventional operations are not applicable to this number. Haven't you noticed that this year's breakthrough work of our Qidian may be this one?"
Editors: "Hiss~ Is the boss's evaluation so high?"
"When the word count reaches 1 million, I will apply for a great god appointment for him, and specially promote the great god's works. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Editors in Group 2 realized it at this time.
Pu Dingle has grown up.
Unknowingly, he has gone from "the one who writes naive articles" to "Pu Ju".
The existence that all great writers and editors have to worship.
"Pu Ju has secured this year's great god contract, which is almost a waterless existence. No author will be dissatisfied with it. Our second group has received this year's bonus again!"
Minghe nodded in approval and continued: "The next recommendation, once his momentum has declined, I will directly continue to give him the daily guide. If the best-selling selections can take off, then the daily guide will not rush into outer space?"
Editors: "Eat!"
While Minghe was trying to find a way to get Pu Ding to operate the great god contract, the copyright department of Qidian was also busy.
Since "The Man from Earth" was a hit and became the biggest dark horse of Chinese movies in June, the three words "Pu Ding" became popular in the Chinese screenwriter circle!
A high-quality movie like this is very attractive to film and television companies.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of directors who shoot movies.
But there are very few screenwriters who can adapt good scripts.
Many of the bad movies we see should not be blamed on the directors. The screenwriters' scripts have no logic and various flaws. The producers still use this script to shoot. It's a miracle that they can shoot well!
Why do you think those big IPs adapted from online literature failed?
The biggest problem is the screenwriter!
The key to transforming language and text art into film visual art failed.
The director himself found it difficult to understand the script, and finally filmed a Dou Qi horse.
"I am a weak chicken, and there is a powerful Dou Di chasing me, but I am not panicking at all, because... his horse is not as fast as mine!"
Can carbon-based humans really come up with such a plot?
If the screenwriter reads the original online literature more, he will not write like this.
Therefore, a good screenwriter who can transform online literature into a film and television work that the audience is willing to pay for is hard to find!
And now, it is the era of big IPs again. Many popular online literatures have been adapted into movies and TV series. Whether they can become fine products and make money from investment depends on the ability of the screenwriter.
Traditional screenwriters may be very good at writing original scripts, but if you ask them to modify online IPs, they are likely to fail.
But Pu Dingle has proved his ability.
He is the all-rounder!
Not only is he good at writing online literature, but his screenwriting skills are also first-class, and his understanding of online literature is far beyond most screenwriters.
Especially his new work "Infinite Time and Space" is a hot commodity in the eyes of countless film and television companies.
Since Pu Ding's first order exceeded 10,000 after it was put on the shelves, there have been calls every day to inquire about copyright issues.
The copyright price of this book has been rising all the way.
But the senior management of Qidian combined with the opinions of Minghe and decided to stay put after some discussion.
The more popular the book, the less anxious it is.
Recently, another film and television company wants to buy the copyright.
"How much can it be sold for? Give me a definite answer! Just say the premium. You can negotiate any premium you want!"
The person in charge of Hengtai Films was anxious.
Their company signed a contract with Bigan to be responsible for the promotion of "The Man from Earth". Naturally, they know how powerful this dark horse is. Even in June, the slow month of movie watching, it is expected to deliver a box office of over 100 million with a small-budget film!
They pay more attention to Pu Ding, the rookie screenwriter, than other film companies!
It is imperative to buy the copyright of this book.
Moreover, they are willing to spend a very sincere price to invite Pu Dingle to personally adapt their novel. They believe that after Pu Dingle's divine hand, they can definitely offer one good story after another.
After buying the copyright of this book, they can make many movies!
And Hengtai Films is not the only company that wants to get this book. Other film companies have also put pressure on Qidian to release the copyright as soon as possible.
This book has alarmed Xinghe, the vice president and editor-in-chief of Qidian.
Many people have entrusted their relationships to him, and it is difficult to end it if they don't sell the copyright.
After Xinghe understood the situation, he was amazed.
"Another amazing book. It is worthy of Pu Dingle, a talented author. What can you do to ensure that the interests of Qidian and the author are met, and this dispute is resolved?"
Faced with the boss's inquiry, Qidian Copyright Department came up with a trick.
"Editor-in-chief, why don't we sell the copyright of Pu Dingle's novel separately? In fact, each world in his book has nothing to do with each other, and can be sold separately. Each world has about 100,000 words, which is just right for remaking into a movie."
"I just read the latest chapter of "Infinite Time and Space", and 7 worlds have been written. Let's sell the movie copyright of several worlds first, and then when Pu Dingle finishes writing a world, we will sell one, absolutely no problem!"
"Pu Dingle must be happy to do this. Who would think that he makes too much money? And I guess the reason why he wrote this book this way is to sell it this way!"
Hearing the copyright department say this.
Xinghe pondered for a moment
"Selling the copyright of a book to multiple people, is there a precedent for doing this?"
The copyright department said directly: "We can divide the book "Infinite Time and Space" into parts, each with a separate copyright. In this way, no one can find fault. Besides, they can directly shoot the world in Pu Dingle's book when making a movie, without bringing the protagonist, the story is almost complete. Of course, they can also find Pu Dingle to be the screenwriter of the film adaptation."
Xinghe nodded: "Let's do it, let's talk about the price!"
"By the way, remember to ask Pu Dingle for his personal opinion. He has his own views on the market."
So
When Pu Jie was excited to give readers a feast of Lao Ba, he received a call from the copyright department of Qidian.
"What!?"
"Can it be done this way?"
"Ask me what I think? My opinion is too big"
