Chapter 22 This book is amazing! Busy and fulfilling days always go by quickly. Ten days passed in a flash, and Zhou Hao already had a rough draft of the script in his hand. With the original novel and fragments of information about the film and television adaptation left over from watching the drama in the past, the only remaining difficulty for him was the format of the script. After two days of serious study, he finally got the hang of it and started to stumble along the way. I wrote Nirvana in Fire during the day and stayed up late at night to write the script. My sleep time basically did not exceed five hours a day. In other words, young people can endure, otherwise they will die of exhaustion. However, looking at the busy results in the document, I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I opened the editor's chat box and asked, "Yan Da, the script is almost done, what's the next step?" A few minutes later, the editor-in-chief sent a horrified face emoji, "So fast?!"
Zhou Hao quickly replied: "I already had a draft in mind, so I wrote it very quickly." Zhijianyan: "Then, you go through the copyright process yourself, and then we will help you pass the book over to Shanhai to take a look." Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, "Don't you need to go through the website's channel?" Zhijianyan: "There is no script category on our website. How can you publish it? I have discussed this with the editor-in-chief, and this is what he meant." Zhou Hao was secretly shocked. Is this the sun rising from the west? If we don’t go through the website’s channels, it means that if this book is accepted... the website won’t get a penny! The capitalists have developed a conscience? In that case, you’re welcome! Open the official website of the China Copyright Center, verify your identity, log in to the copyright area, and start uploading documents and paying fees. Not only the script, but also the copyright of the original novel was applied for, so as to avoid being exploited by others. The entire process was completed in less than ten minutes, but the final step of manual review still requires some time. But this no longer affects the ownership of copyright, so Zhou Hao directly sent the script document to the editor-in-chief. ………… XX Chinese website, editor-in-chief’s office. Tuk-tuk-tuk. Yan Lei knocked on the office door with a thick, newly printed document. "Enter." Editor-in-chief Xu Wenming is a fat man over 50 years old who can sweat even when sitting in an air-conditioned room. When he saw Yan Lei from Group 9 coming in, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Is something wrong?" "Editor-in-chief, this is a script written by 'Wind Comes to the World'. Can you give it a check?" Yan Lei said cautiously. "What the hell!" Xu Wenming was not polite and cursed. "I was just doing this to get the job done. Do you really expect people to appreciate it? It's such a thick book. How much time will it waste!" Yan Lei remained silent, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I don't know how you can be the editor-in-chief. You just watch him messing around without saying anything?" Xu Wenming kept on talking: "Why dream of IP? Let him go back to writing cool articles. Isn't the real money better than daydreaming?" Yan Lei smiled awkwardly, "So I'm just trying to find a solution, right? The performance of Nirvana in Fire was not very good, and the probability of failure is very high. When this script is rejected, he should wake up soon." "You should have woken up earlier!" Xu Wenming exhaled. "It just so happens that Mr. Lin from Shanhai is visiting us with his people. You can just take it now." Yan Lei was shocked and said hurriedly: "How can I be on that stage? How about you, the editor-in-chief..." "Get lost!" Xu Wenming said angrily, "You want me to embarrass myself? You pooped yourself, and you want me to clean your ass?!" Yan Lei couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly said goodbye and left. "What's going on? Do men also go through menopause? Why are you so irritable?" I went downstairs and asked the general affairs manager at the front desk for some information. I found out that a group of people from Shanhai Film and Television were having a tea party with their senior executives in the reception room. I tried to ask the front desk to apply for handing over the notebook, and surprisingly it was approved. Yan Lei was nervous and excited. He ran to the bathroom and carefully tidied his appearance before taking the elevator to the meeting room on the top floor. When he knocked on the door and went in, he saw that the room was full of well-dressed elites. He was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. "You are Xiaoyan from Group 9, right?" Yu Dongfei, the executive president of XX Chinese website, greeted him with a smile, "Come in, come in, don't just stand there like an idiot." "Hello, Mr. Yu. Sorry to bother you, bosses." Yan Lei tried hard to suppress his nervousness and handed over the manuscript in his hand. "Boss Yu, this is a book written by our nine groups of authors. It just so happens that everyone from Shanhai is here, so I brought it up directly to save the trouble of handing it over later." Yu Dongfei took the notebook and took a look at it, then looked up in surprise, "'Wind Comes to the World'? He also knows this?" "Yes, it took me ten days to write it." Yan Lei said embarrassedly. Everyone in the audience understood instantly: Come on, this is another one to complete the task target. Yu Dongfei threw the notebook on the table and said, "Okay, then you go back to work. You've worked hard." "It's my duty." Yan Lei bowed and left, "Sorry to bother you guys." After he left the door, Yu Dongfei looked at the handsome man sitting on the main seat on the guest side, "Boss Lin, this book..." Lin Jianyue narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Since it is just a perfunctory work, why waste time? Just continue to talk about our own things." Yu Dongfei said awkwardly, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Lin. After all, there is a gap between online literature and traditional literature. Most of these authors don't know this. After we have selected and trained them for a period of time, we should be able to dig out a few good screenwriters." "Okay, no rush." Peter Lam smiled calmly. The two sides were about to continue the previous topic, but a bespectacled man next to them suddenly said, "Boss Lin, can I see that book?" Lin Jianyue was stunned for a moment, "Hmm?" "I don't understand what you guys are talking about, business cooperation." The bespectacled man said with a blushing face, "Take a look at the notebook, just to kill time." “You really are…” Lin Jianyue looked helpless, “Okay, whatever you want.” After saying thank you, the bespectacled man stood up, took the script, sat in the corner and started reading.
"Let's continue." Peter Lam shook his head. "As for the story material, we don't want to do those themes that are already flooding the market. We would rather do some hardcore works." "From the story theme to the picture quality and production specifications, we have to benchmark against TV series that are broadcast on satellite channels..." "We at Shanhai Films are not here to be followers when we enter the online drama industry. We want to be the disruptor, but it is difficult to do it on our own..." "As the upstream end of the entertainment industry chain, the quality of your company's content output will directly affect the richness of our mid- and downstream selection of materials..." Yu Dongfei, who was sitting opposite him, was sweating on his forehead after hearing this. Shanhai Film and Television's ambition is too big. They are directly comparing online dramas with satellite TV dramas? This will directly subvert the entire industry landscape! But it is easy to talk big, but how easy is it to do it? Given the current size of the online drama market and its revenue prospects...how can it possibly beat those serious TV dramas? Nowadays, the TV series sections of all streaming platforms rely almost entirely on burning money to survive, but no one knows how long this approach can last. Shanhai Films claims to be a big production that targets TV dramas on TV. If it fails, it will be a huge loss... How much patience and money can the penguin give you to play? People’s money doesn’t come from strong winds! The two sides chatted for nearly an hour, each with their own thoughts. As it was getting dark, the tea party was finally adjourned. "Mr. Yu, thank you for taking the time to meet me." "Where there is, it should be." "We can discuss the remaining issues later. If you have the chance, you can also come to our Shanhai and let us do our part as a good host." "Okay, I'll definitely come and bother you when I have the chance." After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, Peter Lam turned around and looked at Siyan in the corner, "The great screenwriter is leaving." no response. Lin Jianyue frowned, "Da Fei?" The bespectacled man suddenly raised his head, and the thick bottom of the beer bottle reflected a scorching light, which scared the people around him. "Boss Lin, this is amazing!" Peter Lam was startled. "What?" "This book!" Siyan held up the manuscript, his face flushed with excitement, "It's amazing!" (End of this chapter)
