Chapter 377 The Hand of God
There is also a first-floor auxiliary building next to the new office of "Jianglu", which has two rooms decorated, one is the library of Yingri Culture, and the other is a small cinema or KTV that can accommodate about 20 people.
According to Liu Jingting's intention, there is no power plug in the library, and the electrical appliances in the house are only a white light, which is lonely in the middle of the ceiling.
Two yellow wood bookshelves lean against the east and west walls respectively. The bookshelf is filled with various types of books according to category. One of them is the Yingri Cultural Zone, which specializes in the "Jinglu" and the works of its writers.
Except for two chairs under the window, there are a few bean bags and some brightly colored pillows on the other side of the floor.
"No electronic products are allowed to be brought into the library!"
This is the primary iron rule formulated by the company's president Mr. Liu Jingting himself for the library.
At this time, the President was staying in the library, and he was flipping through a material book for the screenwriter's tutorial.
The door of the library was gently pushed open, and Kang Lingyue walked in.
"How to tell a story, do you want to change careers as a screenwriter?" Kang Lingyue turned her head and looked at the cover of the book and asked Liu Jingting.
Liu Jingting nodded and said, "I'm going to try writing a TV series and promise Xu Yuan and Lin Xun."
"You can adapt to TV series so many novels, why do you have to write them separately?"
Liu Jingting closed the book and turned around and said, "I actually just wanted to challenge the screenwriter's work, but I have a relatively ambitious this time and want to make a mini TV series similar to "Friends"."
Kang Lingyue asked: "You yourself?"
Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "First, we all work together. Write a few episodes according to my ideas. If there is a market, I will contact Gong Chengpin. In addition, a professional screenwriter team will be organized."
Liu Jingting said, pointing through the window to the second floor of the main building outside the window, saying, "That room can be opened for them to use."
"No wonder you agreed to move in. Everyone has been discussing recently whether it is too luxurious to live in one of our offices."
"That's not what it means. The screenwriter team is here just working, and there will be normal attendance for commuting. You are different. When the bedroom is renovated, everyone will have to move in."
Kang Lingyue deliberately exaggeratedly.
"Oh by the way. I've been talking, what book do you read?"
"Oh, I forgot the serious business, I'll tell you. The global sales of "Harry Potter" counted by Bronze Data Company has exceeded 10 million."
Liu Jingting smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's much faster than expected. Where is Bluetus?"
"A little over 6.2 million, the sales competition has been decided, and his readers are already giving up and starting to lead the topic to the box office of the movie."
"This is normal." Liu Jingting put the book back to its original place and said: "After all, what we really compare this time is box office and sales. "The Old Man and the Sea" won."
Kang Lingyue responded subconsciously, but her heart was changing slightly. Consistent with others' ideas, Kang Lingyue's idea was not optimistic about Liu Jingting's challenge to Blueprints. Although Liu Jingting was as confident as ever, although he was still unconsciously infected by that confidence, once he calmed down and made an objective analysis, he would still come to an unsatisfactory conclusion that "it was inevitable that he would lose."
However, when "Harry Potter" was really released, when she finished reading this fairy tale novel in full, her ideas began to loosen up, which was different from Chang Youdao, Qingjiao and others. As a returnee who has been studying in the United States for many years, it was easier for Kang Lingyue to accept this colorful magic world.
This is a historical and cultural difference. The fantasy field of Chinese people. From ancient myths to modern popular novels, the ones that are more likely to have a sense of substitution are fairy tales such as "Journey to the West" and martial arts such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". As for the background setting of the magic world, although the story itself is wonderful, it still takes a simple process to fully accept it.
Chang Youdao and others could only analyze the chances of the adaptation from a theoretical perspective, but Kang Lingyue could consciously judge the advantages of "Harry Potter" based on her own consciousness.
"There are also a chance to win movie adaptation." Kang Lingyue analyzed: "The bizarre adventures that children are passionate about may attract adults' unpredictableness. Coupled with the appropriate humor and clever suspense design, even if they are made into movies, they will attract a large number of viewers."
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "Of course."
Kang Lingyue was stunned for a moment of reaction at Liu Jingting and thought to herself, shouldn’t she be a little humble?
"Now there are adult readers on the Internet sharing their reading experiences."
"Whether it is a fairy tale or a cartoon, a big difficulty lies in the audience's positioning. Sometimes I want to take into account both adults and children, but in the end, both sides may fail. Sometimes stories written purely for children may eventually attract adults."
"When a book becomes a phenomenon, people can't help but look through it out of curiosity or herd mentality. The key is the charm of the story itself."
...
There are indeed more and more readers of adults or older children on the Internet, including college students or urban white-collar workers.
"Imagination is not about age, and novels also have many praises in portraying characters and have certain literary and artistic value, so I don't mind being known by my colleagues and reading "Harry Potter."
"I am truly attracted by the exciting plot of the novel. Just like watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I can't stop. Moreover, I am also full of curiosity about these background worlds that we are not familiar with, and I look forward to the next book."
"The novel promotes positive energy from beginning to end and guides people to be kind. The core of bravery mentioned not only educates children, but also serves as a reminder for our adults."
These are readers who share the meaning with high standards, and the rest are adult readers who directly start with the plot of the story. They carefully discuss why Harpollit is loved by so many people, the so-called eight factors, seven details, etc.
At the end of the analysis, everyone came to a conclusion: this is another great masterpiece, and this masterpiece was indeed completed by God through the hands of Liu Jingting.
...
With the popularity of the novel "Harry Potter", Gong Chengpin, who had just negotiated with WB, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was once again glad that he chose to trust Liu Jingting. With the current momentum of this book, it is estimated that the two movies will be enough to recover the investment from the buyout. Two percent of the production cost is basically waiting to share the money.
At this time, it doesn’t matter what PK or what confrontation is at all.
Business is business. It is more important to make more money by using legitimate and legal methods to maximize profits.
