Chapter 963
In fact, there have been many adaptations of novels into animations in Japan, and many light novels adapted to animations have achieved great success.
Although online novels have been changed into animation in China, they are generally in a tepid state.
First of all, of course, the work itself is not powerful. The shoddy things cannot attract anyone except for consuming the feelings of the original novel readers. They can only entertain themselves on a small scale, and it is impossible to get out of the circle and make ordinary people like it.
Tian Kangle shrugged and said, "I don't want to be like other companies, who are greedy for cheap and refuse to spend money to buy real good IPs. If they want to save money, they can't afford the works of top writers, so they buy works that are a little bit faster. Although those works seem to be very famous, the data is heavy and there is not much fan base at all. I just want to get the best one!"
"Since you want to adapt it into a comic, why don't you use the boss's works? At least the boss's works will not charge you, right?" Ye Shumei asked curiously, "Is the boss's works not top-notch?"
As soon as these words came out, Tian Kangle waved his hands repeatedly, "How could it be! The boss's book is the pillar of our magazine. It's wrong, it should be considered a pillar of support!"
If he hadn't lived the lively comics with "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", how could he sit in the office of Hanlin Culture Media Company now?
In addition, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" also has a comic, but because Zhang Chu's cheating novel has not been finished, the painter certainly cannot draw the plot out of nothing.
Zhou Kang didn't know much about comics, he only stayed at the level that his children liked to read. He asked: "It seems that "The Lord of the Rings" has not been changed to a comic. Mr. Tian, have you considered this novel? It will be made into a movie soon. Don't you hurry up and get the popularity?"
Tian Kangle is feeling a little uncomfortable now. He wants to explain but doesn't know how to speak.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Chu spoke to stop the two of them from asking questions, "Not every novel is suitable for adaptation into a comic. "The Lord of the Rings" lacks the passionate feeling of the protagonist."
The animation industry includes multiple industries such as animation, comics, movies, and peripherals. Online novels are just a sub-industry in literature. If they are married, they can be said to be extremely promising!
In fact, the domestic comics industry lacks original talents and product creativity, so when looking for stories from another platform that young people like, materials are the most suitable choice.
The vast number of online literary works can just make up for the shortcomings of insufficient creative ability of domestic animation stories. Excellent online novels have extremely imaginative plots, high content value, and great potential for adaptation.
The most important thing is that the users of online novels and animations actually have a very high overlap, and both occupy an important position among young people.
"The adaptation rights of novels with many readers are not cheap. We can focus on one, first change it into a comic, and then change it to an animation after the time is right. When signing a contract, be careful to negotiate the issues of peripheral products and not have any disputes afterwards."
He is also half an online writer now, so of course he knows what online writers are worried about, at least he can’t cheat his own people!
After getting Zhang Chu's approval, Tian Kangle smiled and said, "The trend of online novels and animations has not yet emerged completely. I will first contact the author and see who is in the copyright."
Whether the contract can be successfully concluded depends on the ownership of the copyright.
If it is a website, it will definitely be much more difficult than the author himself. At least you will see more worlds and will not be confused by millions of RMB or tens of millions of RMB.
Ye Shumei said openly: "This year, thanks to your boss' income, the company can now take out 30 million yuan. Universal Pictures's US$45 million copyright fee has not been in place, and the copyright dividend of "Farewell My Concubine" has not been received, which is almost all your book sales royalties."
"Enough is enough, 30 million will definitely not be enough!" Tian Kangle rubbed his hands excitedly, following the big boss, but there was no shortage of funds, especially the boss also supported him.
"I didn't say that all the money was given to you. Mr. Tian's lively comics made a lot of profits in "That Rabbit That Year"? I think you can actually take your own profits and losses, and we don't need to inject capital!"
Now the second season of "That Rabbit That Year" has been launched, and the number of clicks in almost every episode can exceed 100 million, which is a phenomenal comic.
The cost of playing alone is enough to make money from the lively comics, not to mention the surroundings of the rabbit. This is definitely a gold mine!
After hearing Ye Shumei's analysis, Zhang Chu realized.
yes!
I almost forgot the most important thing. That rabbit made a lot of money for Lingying comics, which can be called a treasure pot and a money tree.
"Old Tian, you are not kind enough, you are actually crying poor!"
"Actually, I'm here to seek the boss's advice. If I can raise funds, it's better. This way I'll be more confident when negotiating. It's mainly to have good performance at the end of the year and to make your boss' wallet more bulging."
Zhang Chu waved his hand and said, "You should do it boldly. As long as it does not exceed 10 million, you don't have to report to me, just take it down yourself."
Maybe there are more and more numbers in the bank card, and now he is becoming less and less sensitive to these numbers.
After they chatted together for a while, Tian Kangle got up and left. The headquarters of Lingying Comics was still far away from here, but Zhou Kang stayed in Zhang Chu's office to report other things.
"Boss, do you still remember the Chinese Bridge? Xiangnan TV and the State Han Office have already confirmed the dates with foreign contestants. They want to know if your spokesperson has time to tell them about the China you think. If you can't speak, you can find someone to write a Taiwanese copy for you."
Many wise hosts or guests on the TV station are shaped by the huge behind-the-scenes team. Many manuscripts are not written by themselves, but are written by others. This is no longer an unspoken rule, but an explicit rule!
In the eyes of the staff at the National Han Office and Confucius Institute headquarters, Zhang Chu is simply a business card for China to walk around the world.
He had a deep understanding of ancient Chinese mythology and reinterpreted the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors into a work that was unforgettable to the point of the Gods.
At the same time, he also had a understanding of the history of various dynasties. The "Fifteenth Year of Wanli" surprised many experts in Ming history and even collected it in libraries around the world.
In addition, Zhang Chu has a deep understanding of Chinese traditional culture, so he wrote "Farewell My Concubine" in a Peking Opera! When many people regard Feng Shui as feudal superstition, he used a "Ghost Blows Out the Light" to let readers feel the essence of this culture that has been passed down for thousands of years.
These are all China in the past. "Farewell My Concubine" links the Republic of China with the present and contemporary times, and then "The Forest of Norway" focuses on the psychological conditions of young people in the current society, and "In the Name of the People" looks at the officialdom.
From ancient times to the present, it seems that every era has been seen by him, and there is nothing he doesn’t know about!
"China in my eyes?"
Zhang Chu thought about it in his mind. The China in his eyes may be different from the kind of praise the TV station wants. If it is told in truth, it is very likely that it will not be broadcast.
Perhaps many keyboard warriors would think of it as cents or reveal their shortcomings in front of outsiders. After a little consideration, Zhang Chu replied: "My qualifications are too shallow. This kind of summary speech should be found in a respected teacher. If I had to say something, I have already said it. Do you still remember "Young China Say" by Weiming Lake? That is my attitude, my expectations for myself and others!"
He pretended to be so arrogant and heroic that he was almost moved by himself.
Zhou Kang nodded constantly: "Yes, yes, that thing is really suitable! A strong boy is a strong China."
The Chinese Bridge itself is to promote Chinese and Chinese culture, so that young people in foreign countries know what the real China is like.
When Zhou Kang was trembling all over when he thought of reading this article with his head held high in front of the descendants of the Eight-Nation Alliance, he really stood up!
