What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

"What if the system forces me to copy books( to find the latest chapter!

Jones Arthur's persistence was something Li Chungang and Lin Meng didn't expect.

The so-called "no idea of ​​filming and filming", "I will give priority to Paramount", etc. are nothing more than polite expressions. The meaning shown at this time is giving people an attitude of "I didn't hear it, I will impress you with sincerity".

True—

A nine-figure movie production budget plus an eight-figure royalty or a sizable box-office dividend is an astounding investment.

If you cover up the word "Paramount" and replace it with Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., Disney, 20th Century Fox, and Sony Pictures among the six major Hollywood giants, no one will sit down and talk about it in the future. Opportunity to talk!

I don't know if the blond foreigner really doesn't understand or if he pretends he doesn't understand. Since the other party couldn't understand what he said euphemistically, Li Chungang had to tell the truth: "Mr. Jones Arthur, I can hear Paramount. For the optimism and sincerity of my work, I can only regret to tell you that there is really no idea of ​​​​adapting "The Lord of the Rings" for film and television in a short period of time."

"By the way, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first. If Mr. Jones has any request, you can mention it to Mr. Lin, see you later~"

Without giving Jones Arthur a chance to continue speaking, he left Lin Meng's general manager's office without looking back.

Although this kind of behavior is a bit rude and offends people, but the attitude of the other party that you are all hillbillies, the labor and capital are rich and great is really annoying. Compared with these sincerity in money, it is better to show your support for "Magic". The rhetoric of the film adaptation of "The Ring" is even more reassuring.

Li Chungang found that he was about to become half a "flying man" recently, flying between Shanghai and Yanjing. Fortunately, no matter how busy he was, as long as he had nothing else to do, he would not be able to bear it. Live to take out the notebook that is almost always with you and start coding.

First "Dragon", then "The Lord of the Rings".

The main energy of the recent period has been devoted to this, and it is inevitable that the online novel will be a little "cold".

Just like the emperors in ancient times, with three thousand beauties in the harem, is it really possible to soak up the rain and dew? That is thinking of farting, even if the emperor thinks about it, the kidney function will not allow it!

The update of "Jianlai" is in the original words of the readers: Lao Tzu's work (class) time is not as stable as it is.

On the contrary, since the time officially entered June, fans and readers who liked the book "Full-time Master" have been as happy as when they meet the nectar for a long time, because the daily update volume has quadrupled from the original five chapters. , there are a full 20 chapters updated every day, which can't help but make readers exclaim excitedly: "Back! Back! That man, he's back!"

The ruthless codeword machine "Zhichunzhigang" that used to like to add more and explode more unreasonably once is back!

All of this is actually planned. According to the current update rhythm of nearly 40,000 words of 20 chapters a day, as long as there are no irresistible factors, the six, seven, eight and three months before the end of the summer vacation will add up to a total of 3.6 million words. Update, this is more than enough for "Full-time Master" with a total of more than 5 million words in the whole book, and even if you are willing to work a little harder, you will be able to finish the book around mid-August.

In fact, for the update plan of this book, Li Chungang did not hide it from his fans and readers at all, and directly let the managers of the book review area announce the entire general update plan and the scheduled completion time to the book review area.

[Is full-time ending in August? Although there are still two or three months, I do not know why I have begun to feel a sense of reluctance. 】

[With the current figures and the update plan, the full-time full-time word count should be around 5.3 million. 】

[Do you mean to make way for another new book, Lord of Mysteries, in a hurry to end it? 】

[You have an update, I have a reward! From today to the day when the full-time book is officially completed, Chungang will reward the leader once every day of updating, and make a post as proof! (essence)]

[Glory, I can play for another ten years! 】

【...】

After saying goodbye to Jones Arthur of Paramount in Lin Meng's office that day, Li Chungang, who felt that he had nothing to do in Shanghai the next day, went back to Yanjing.

Actually, I just want to meow a bit~

(You are thinking of others, you are greedy for their bodies, Durian!)

Now that I'm back, I still need to code the characters of the code, not to mention that aside from the online literature, there is still a book "The Lord of Mysteries" waiting to meet with fans and readers, not to mention, it has been published continuously at home and abroad in the publishing literature. Having "Dragon Race" and "The Lord of the Rings" means that he has no works that he needs to code at all, which is slack for Li Chungang, who is interested in bringing more excellent works to readers all over the world.

It's just that there are too many excellent works, and I don't know which type of works to choose for a while.

"The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. Maybe I will have an idea in a few days."

Just as he was immersed in the tapping sound of the keyboard, a prompt sound suddenly popped out from the WeChat computer, and several new messages came out in a row.

"Whoever sent me a message after nine o'clock in the evening." Li Chungang ignored it and planned to finish writing this episode in one breath while he was in good condition.

Five hundred words, one thousand words, and my hands never stopped.

That's what it's like to start writing with full concentration, time flies, and word count growth is a joy.

It wasn't until the new chapter, Yueran and the writer's assistant's codeword page, that I opened the WeChat client to see who the beating message reminded me was.

The software showed that more than 20 minutes ago, Lin Meng sent three voice messages to Li Chungang, and He Miao sent him two text messages.

"The "Lord of the Rings" peripheral product promotion plan has been sent to Random House. The specific peripheral product types are all kinds. I have already sent the specific design plan and drawings to your mailbox. Take a look, and if there is no problem, just do it."

"In addition, the first week of sales of "The Lord of the Rings" came out, and the world broke 1.68 billion copies! China contributed more than half of the sales, and the United States and other countries and regions mainly in English had nearly 800 million, and the rest was some small countries."

"If you see this news, please reply to me. A Hollywood company came to the door with the script!"

There are three different things in three sentences, and the person in charge of the company is also really busy.

The Lord of the Rings is currently the cover version of the Lord of the Rings Fed cards and credit cards launched in cooperation with the domestic Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, but the issuance time is too short, and it is still unclear how the customers who apply for the cards are.

The next step is to cooperate with the well-known brand "Zhou Daxing" Gold Company to launch the same 99 gold version of the Lord of the Rings. This price will be slightly more expensive, and it will only accept pre-order production for the time being.

The reason for this price is to prevent the flood of goods in the market, in case someone wears it and goes out, it turns out that one person has one hand, and hitting a ring is as terrible as hitting a shirt!

In addition, the global peripheral products developed in cooperation with Random House have everything from keychains, coasters, thermos cups, notebooks to dolls and other friendly peripherals, so there is no need for them.

Li Chungang knows that the surrounding of the Lord of the Rings is a huge gold mine, and it is more than hundreds of times stronger than the surrounding of works such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Knives in the Snow"!

There are so many uses for small-scale development now, and when it is adapted into a movie and released in the future, the money that can be made by combining those manufacturers and filmmakers may be much more than the box office income.

But the second thing surprised him. The global release of "The Lord of the Rings" achieved a total of nearly 1.7 billion sales in seven days a week. This is undoubtedly a shocking success for a fantasy work with a Western background!

It gave the entire publishing market a shot in the arm, showing the limitless possibilities of book sales.

Li Chungang is very satisfied with this data, and sales will definitely decline in the future, but almost everyone can conclude that it will definitely easily break through the 2 billion mark!

"Hollywood company came to the door with the script? Wouldn't it be someone from Paramount again? Why are they so persevering? They just rejected the other party two days ago, and they couldn't wait to come to me with the script in less than three days. What do you do, it's really weird."

He was full of doubts, subconsciously ignoring that it was illegal to adapt without the authorization of the author of the work, but he was very curious about what the Paramount company thought.

The market prospect of "The Lord of the Rings" is there for all to see, which can be seen from the global sales. Even boring text can attract so many readers to buy it. What if this is adapted into a more vivid movie?

It's just that the vast majority of Hollywood studios are currently in a "wait and see" state. In fact, everyone is waiting for the company's review department to complete the overall evaluation of the "Lord of the Rings Adaptation into a Movie" project, even if they are in their hearts. In fact, the answer has already been answered, but there is still a process that should be done, and the steps that should be taken still have to be taken.

As for those film companies who felt that the company was not strong enough, they had long since given up knowingly.

When Li Chungang was waiting for Lin Meng's reply, he couldn't help but said with broken thoughts: "Could it be that Paramount and the others thought that they could impress me with the adapted script, or they didn't know me. Also a screenwriter? Maybe it's this unpredictable way of doing things that has kept Paramount at the bottom of the game for years."

"Senior sister, what is the situation when you said that the Hollywood company came to the door with the script? Isn't it Paramount again?"

Li Chungang's reply was full of questions, and he was not someone who always gave up.

Lin Meng guessed that the other party should be in the code when Li Chungang didn't reply to his message immediately, so he has been waiting for Li Chungang's response. It is difficult and troublesome to type such important things on WeChat. Knowing that he didn't have the same hand speed as Li Chungang's typewriter, he simply made a phone call.

She laughed and said: "Today the company received a script outline for The Lord of the Rings from Universal Pictures, and a producer named Evans said it was sincere and planned to spend a lot of money to buy The Lord of the Rings. He asked you if it is inconvenient for you to talk to him about this film in person in Yanjing."

"Didn't they all ask Caitlin to help reveal the news that there are no plans for film and television adaptations in a short period of time? Why is there still a company that wants to buy film and television rights?"

"It's nothing more than not believing in evil or thinking that we are waiting for a price, and maybe it's because I really want to win the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" series."

Li Chungang considered it again and again, and asked, "It's not Paramount anyway. Has Universal written the script now? If it is true, you can take a look at the content of the script first. As for the copyright issue, it's another matter."

He doesn't believe that someone can come up with the script in such a short period of time. Does he really think that everyone has the help of the [Literature Encyclopedia System] like himself?

Even if it is the world's top studio like Universal Pictures, no matter how many talented screenwriters it has, it only takes a few days to get the detailed script of "The Lord of the Rings" out, which is completely unbelievable!

Sure enough, Lin Meng emphasized: "The other party said in the email that it was just the script outline, and there may be some related settings, the arrangement of the plot direction, the shooting ideas, etc. But you must not be fooled by their rhetoric. Just kidding, the best thing these Hollywood producers do is write bad promises."

"How is it possible, I have high requirements. If they can't meet this requirement, no company can do it!"

"If that's the case, then I'll make arrangements for them. You don't have classes on Wednesday afternoon, right? Free up that time~www.readwn.com~ Then you can find a quieter coffee shop, and I'll tell them the address. In the past, I sat down with you face-to-face and had a chat to see the specific sincerity of Universal."

Li Chungang recalled the class schedule, and after confirming that there was indeed no class on Wednesday afternoon, he agreed: "I think this can be done, I hope Universal Pictures will not only write empty checks like Paramount, so you can give me a little surprise, Otherwise, it's a waste of everyone's time."

After all, it is not easy to fly to Yanjing from Los Angeles. At least some basic progress is required. If it is just a simple meeting, it does not make any sense.

"Then I will reply to the email first. Their company hopes that we can keep a low profile and keep this meeting private. This is exactly what we thought. The front foot just rejected Paramount, and let Caitlin take a walk outside and don't want to make a film and television adaptation. The news, and now he has promised to meet with Universal Pictures, is not suitable for publicity."

Originally, "The Lord of the Rings" has just been released soon. If the news of "Universal Pictures executives visit the cottage just for the right of film adaptation" can be revealed, it will definitely attract the attention of many people who eat melons on this book. .

They will be curious about what kind of content can impress the famous Universal Pictures. At the same time, those consumers who missed "The Lord of the Rings" because of the subject matter will passively accept the name in the baptism of news again and again, and become readers sooner or later. !

Book shortage is the fate that every book lover cannot escape.

When they have a shortage of books, they will subconsciously start with familiar works or authors to see if they have any new works.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chungang seriously considered the meaning of this meeting.

"If the script can't even convince me, then there's no need to talk about the rest!"
