Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 885 You're Crazy

After Zhang Zhong and the others joined forces at the World Science Fiction Convention, there were indeed many voices on the Internet, calling on Zhang Zhong and the others to combine some of their works into a sci-fi world.

However, these things are somewhat difficult and cannot be done casually.

Hilde and the others didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would really want to do this.

But looking back, it seems that Zhang Zhong is indeed capable of doing this, and looking at the whole world, he alone has the possibility of accomplishing this.

"Will you handle this new world by yourself?" Hilde first asked the question he was more concerned about.

It is not an easy task to combine these works into one world.

First of all, those who do this must be familiar with these works, which is the most basic.

No matter which one of them does it, then this person must thoroughly study the works of the others, which not only requires time, but also requires ability.

Of course, Zhang Zhong can also find someone else to do it, but it is not easy to find a suitable person.

Maybe some people think that this kind of thing is quite simple, and you don’t need to create it yourself. They are all ready-made stories. You just need to splice these world fragments together, just like building blocks.

However, in fact, this is much more difficult than building blocks.

When building blocks, the blocks fit because they were created to fit together.

But stitching together a new world is not the case. When these writers wrote these novels, they never thought that one day their novels would be joined with other novels to form a complete world.

Then, even if there are many similarities between the various worlds, there will always be some incompatibility.

In order to allow these worlds to blend together, sometimes even a second creation is required.

Zhang Zhong understood Hilde's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I'm not doing it alone. I'll invite everyone to come together and give their opinions."

"Well, it's definitely better." Hilde nodded, and then expressed his worries, "But this matter is not easy, Walford Culture Company has done similar things before, they hope Being able to build together a couple of well-known fantasy novels, build them into a high-quality IP, and then hire writers to add other stories to their fantasy world."

Liu Mingfu nodded and said, "I also know about this, but in the end, the matter planned by Walford ended without a problem. I don't know the specific reason, but that time, Walford lost a lot of face."

Hilde said, "I know a little more. There are two reasons for the failure in the end. The first reason is that several writers are unwilling to cooperate. In the beginning, Walford approached Linde. After all, in the fantasy world In the category, Linde has always been number one."

When saying that Linde was number one, Hilde also observed Zhang Zhong's expression, wanting to see his reaction.

However, to Hilde's disappointment, Zhang Zhong didn't respond to these words at all, but only listened carefully to what he said.

He continued, "But Linde refused immediately."

"Why did he refuse so simply?" Zhang Zhong asked.

"Linde disagrees with Walford's plan, and he doesn't want his work to be touched by others," Hilde said.

"But……"

As soon as Zhang Chong opened his mouth, Hilde smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, you definitely want to say that Linde should not be such a person, because when you linked up last time, you were mainly responsible for editing the story. "

"Yes, that's right." Zhang nodded emphatically.

"So, it's not that Linde doesn't want others to touch his works, but he doesn't like the people Walford is looking for at all. He is afraid that his works will be changed." Hilde said: " And at that time, Walford wanted to create some characters himself for film and television adaptation, but the film and television adaptation copyright of Linde's works had already been sold to other companies, and it was difficult to get them back."

"I'm afraid it's not just Linde's film and television adaptation rights, but the film and television adaptation rights of other writers they found should not be in the writer's own hands." Zhang Zhong said.

"You are right, this is the second difficulty I mentioned. No company is willing to hand over the film and television adaptation rights that have already been obtained to Walford. After all, the works that can be seen by Walford are very good IPs. Definitely make money."

Liu Mingfu smiled and said, "It should be that the money is not in place."

"It's okay to say this. It is true that you can buy the copyrights of these works with a little more money, but the premium must be very serious. It may take two or three times more to get the original 100 million things, which is very uneconomical. Walford Culture Company is a commercial company. They did not create this fantasy world for any interest or ideal. They aimed at making money. However, they are not willing to spend so much money before the money starts to be earned. .”

"Well, that's right, it doesn't matter if you spend money, it's hard to spend money wrongly." Liu Mingfu agreed.

Hilde nodded and said, "This involves risks and benefits. If Walford is confident that he can earn back all the money he spent later, of course they are willing to invest, but obviously they have no confidence. It's too risky for them."

After finishing speaking, Hilde looked at Zhang Zhong, "If you don't care about making money pz, of course you don't have to worry about it. With your financial resources, there shouldn't be any problem in acquiring those copyrights. But if you don't want to lose money, Hua You have to face the same problem that Alford faced."

"Of course I want to make money, this is the long-term solution." Zhang Zhong said.

"Since this is the case, you should consider these issues. Even if you are pz, those companies that have taken the copyright will definitely slaughter you and take the opportunity to make a fortune. Of course, if you really want to save some money, I suggest you not to reveal your plan too early, so that you can buy them one by one slowly, which will definitely save you a lot of money. At that time, Walford also fell on this, and it was too much fanfare at the beginning." Hilde Said.

But Zhang Zhong shook his head, "No, not only will I not keep it secret, but I will also advertise it widely so that everyone knows what I am going to do. And I also want to draw up a list of the books I plan to let everyone know. Everyone look at it."

Hilde's eyes widened, "Pz, you are crazy."

Indeed, from Hilde's point of view, Zhang Zhong's behavior was no different from being crazy. He was simply afraid that his money would not be spent.
