When the competition among Hollywood filmmakers was surging, the gossip media was like a shark smelling fishy smell, keenly aware of the explosiveness of it, so they didn't care about proof and started to announce it directly!

These entertainment media are the least conscientious. The fake news published every year can probably circle the earth.

Although "Hollywood Reporter" is relatively formal and is not the kind of 18th-tier magazine sold in supermarkets, they immediately posted related news on their official website.

"The Chinese writer "Boyant Pi" is highly sought after, and many Hollywood manufacturers are contacting you!"

In the article, the reporter wrote: "A Chinese work that has been on the New York Times bestseller rankings, a thin Indian teenager drifted on the sea for 227 days. "Pi", which just won the Booker Award nomination, has been well received in the industry, and its author's other book, "Sherlock", has also been adapted into a British drama of the same name. According to insiders, several film companies, including Warner Bros., are in contact. For details, please see the follow-up report."

The current journalism operation mechanism is very smart. When Hollywood Reporter posted this news on the website, the rest of the media reprinted the news as a news source!

Among them are large media such as Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, National Inquiry News, etc. They all reprinted this unconfirmed news on their websites.

Various things are emerging in the entertainment industry, and being able to occupy a place in these media is crucial for "Pi" to successfully enter the North American market.

Before this, not many media reported on it. The sales of "Pi" book were barely on the New York Times bestseller rankings only under the operation of Random House.

After these news, my popularity may have to rise to a higher level and it will not fall off in a short period of time!

...

Zhang Chu was sitting in front of the computer, watching Matcha’s performance. This little guy was lying next to the computer and playing, but was startled by his hanging tail!

Not to mention how funny that stupid look was, Zhang Chu thought he had a black cat sheriff, but he didn't expect that he overestimated this guy's IQ. Cat and tail are worthy of being two kinds of animals.

He took his eyes back and placed it on the monitor. At this time, he was a little tired of writing "Soushen Ji". When the plot entered the middle and late stages, he always felt it was difficult to write.

"Or what's more fun to watch?"

Writing is like controlling water, and it is better to lose weight than blockage.

Instead of staying there all day, it’s better to relax and think of a way to get through it.

Various fitness failure videos and videos of pretending failed to play on B station have left Zhang Chu's footprints, and laughter echoed in the empty study.

Laughing is probably the best way to relax. After seeing all the embarrassing things uploaded by netizens, he became much more relaxed. Going there for no reason is indeed good for physical and mental health!

Whether it was correct or wrong when choosing to write "Soushen Ji", Zhang Chu could only stick to it.

This may be the most controversial of all his works. Even "Ghost Blows Out the Light" does not have so many negative comments and readers are disgusted with trends.

His favorite "Soushen Ji" is from the perspective of being a reader, but not every reader will like this book.

The only thing you can do is write the subsequent content well and finish it in one go!

As for what to write in the future, Zhang Chu doesn't want to think about it for the time being, so as not to think too much and make his thinking confused.

Now I have written about the plot of the Yao Chi Club, and there are about 300,000 to 400,000 words left before the completion of "Su Shen Ji", which is the result of his full power.

It is estimated that the full text will be handed over to the Nanhai Publishing Company for publication in April. If serial updates are updated, it will be about half a year later!

If you can't wait for the Internet or newspaper serialization, readers can choose to purchase physical books to read in advance.

While Zhang Chu wrote, the rest of his mind came out, "Maybe spoilers will have to be banned in the book review area of ​​Yuandian Chinese. If you can't control the rest of the places, there will definitely be no problem there."

If readers who have bought physical books directly publish the endings of various characters in the book review area, they will probably abandon the book or choose to subscribe to the finale only.

However, the reputation of physical books cannot be separated from readers' discussions. If readers of Yuandian Chinese want to watch the finale, they can search on Weibo or Douban.

"I hope the sales of this book are OK, and the reputation is probably severely polarized."

He shook his head and threw away the distracting thoughts, and then began to continue typing. These things were left to the market and readers to test.

The sound of the mechanical keyboard is not very loud, not to mention that there is music to cover it. Zhang Chu wrote it very quickly, and a lot of the content was thought of in his mind. After organically combining it with the content of the wild fox under the tree, you can take it out directly.

Many times, the content serialized online is different from the publication content because the author and the publisher have made appropriate modifications!

For example, sometimes everyone complains about a certain plot, but it cannot be modified during serialization, and it will affect the whole body after one move.

When the manuscript is about to be published, it can be revised according to the plot, so as not to be incoherent.

The Crystal Palace Under the Sea, the Yaochi Palace in the Sky. This description of the Yaochi Palace in the Great Wilderness is quite a bit like the description of Journey to the West in Heaven. It is full of ancient style, and the words make people feel very accomplished!

"Looking down from a high altitude, the vermilion is green and scattered, with jade belts lingering, brilliant and brilliant. The palace platform is full of guests and full of clothes. On the white jade platform in the center of Bahe Hall, hundreds of beauties sang and danced, colorful and pleasing to the eyes. The music of silk, bamboo, drums, and people's singing is extremely lively. The clear waves are vast, and thousands of light boats are traversing, transporting vegetables, fruits, wine, and other things to every corner of the Yaochi Palace..."

These descriptions describe the most solemn Peach Banquet in the Great Wilderness in detail, which is also the gao tide content of "Soushen Ji".

...

Thousands of words came from his mind to the computer through his hands on the keyboard. Zhang Chu stretched his waist to prepare for a rest. Then he found that there were a few missed calls and a few on his mobile phone that had been set to mute. He walked to the balcony and unzipped the fingerprint lock and found that the phone was actually called by his mother, and the voice message was sent by his father Zhang Bowen.

"Is there something urgent at home?" Zhang Chu was secretly feeling a little nervous. Before that, Chu Lan stipulated that one video call per week.

He didn't care about listening to any voice messages, so he called Chu Lan back and silently prayed that everyone in his family was fine.

"Hello?"

Chu Lan's breathless voice came from the phone, which made Zhang Chu feel much more at ease.

He asked bluntly: "Mom, why did you call me so many times half an hour ago? Is there anything urgent?"

"It's nothing big, I just saw a few news and wanted to ask you. Have you had dinner?" Chu Lan's thinking was very jumping and he paid close attention to these small things.

Zhang Chu didn't know what happened to him, and news about him often appeared, which was not a strange thing at all.

"I ate dinner, I ate in the cafeteria, and the rice is relatively tough. What news is it? My dad posted> "It is probably to say that your book "Young Pi" was attracted by Hollywood companies and became a hot commodity. Some companies are willing to pay 10 million US dollars to buy the adaptation rights, and it has been rumored outside!"

This answer was beyond Zhang Chu's imagination. He said self-deprecatingly: "Which company gives so much money? I'll sign the contract right away!"

That's ten million US dollars, which is about half a million yuan if it's exchanged for RMB. Zhang Chu doesn't have that much wealth now.

Chu Lan also sighed with regret, "I knew it was fake, it was ten million dollars, I didn't dare to think about it before."

"Actually, you can think about it a little, but the price will definitely be reduced to a few levels below."

The copyright of a book worth ten million US dollars is not an ordinary work, but it probably has to be the best-selling series!

Judging from the news that Zhang Chu knows, it seems that Lion Gate Pictures is communicating with Menglong Culture Media. What such an independent studio is best at is being petty and it is impossible to give too high prices.

The adaptation of "Boyant Pi" is as high as "Detective Sherlock", and Zhang Chu even fainted from laughing!

The copyright fee for the first season of "Detective Sherlock" is as high as £1 million, while the copyright fee for the second season is £3 million plus a 3% late-stage profit dividend.

Although there are many tricks in the later profit dividends, considering BBC's terrifying money-making ability, the 3% profit dividend can probably bring Zhang Chu another two to three million pounds of income.

Can Lionsgate give "Pi" so much?

And they are willing to give writers like Zhang Chu who are not famous in Hollywood a later dividend?

This is almost impossible!

Chu Lan was so energetic that "What is the highest offer you received? I can't tell that your ability to make money is really good, much better than your dad."

"The specific ones are the company communicating, so I didn't ask carefully. But it seems that it's just an intention, and it doesn't involve the money."

"You have to make your own decisions, but don't know if the company sells you. Lao Zhou is good, you have to be careful anyway. Your dad is at a disadvantage. Then the "Basic Representation Method" was sold to American TV stations. It was so hyped that it was produced by CBS. It was guaranteed with production and ratings, but now it hasn't even seen the shadow yet!"

Speaking of this, it’s just anger. Chu Lan saw that her son’s “Sherlock” had already started filming the second season in full swing, but she still didn’t know who the starring actor was and when it started filming.

Zhang Chu comforted and said, "They will definitely not be used as a decoration when they spend money to buy it. They are probably working on scripts. Moreover, the female version of Watson is indeed a bit risky. I guess the people on the TV station are still weighing the trade-offs, just don't worry!"

I could see Liu Yuling playing Watson in my previous life, but I would never lose this American drama in this life.
Chapter completed!
