At noon on February 4th, the group of people followed the plane to land and returned to Yuhang City.

After returning all the way to Bihailanting, Li Luo and the three girls got off the car, picked up their luggage, and parted ways with Lin Xiuhong and the others temporarily.

When Cui Suling left, she said to Xu Youyu: "Pack your luggage and come home before the 6th. The New Year will be here soon."

"I know~" Xu Youyu nodded, "Then I'll go back tomorrow night."

Returning to 1502 from the gate of the community, Li Luo took out the key and opened the door, then went inside and changed into slippers.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng followed behind. After changing into slippers, they dragged their suitcases towards their rooms, preparing to pack their things first.

In comparison, Xu Youyu was relatively lazy. As soon as he entered the house and took off his shoes, his socks-clad feet stepped directly on the floor. He threw himself on the soft sofa, threw his suitcase aside, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

.

Li Luo was not surprised when he saw this. He didn't rush back to the room. He walked to the sofa and patted Xu Youyu's butt: "Pack your luggage early, aren't you going back tomorrow night?"

"Why are you so anxious?" Xu Youyu groaned, twisted his butt, raised his feet, and swayed in the air, "I finally got rid of their terrifying sight. Now I am completely relaxed and have returned to sleep from the fighting state.

state."

After all, in Xu Youyu's opinion, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng didn't know that they were writing novels.

After leaving the four parents who knew about this matter, she obviously felt relaxed.

But Li Luo, as someone who had been there before, reminded him with a smile: "I suggest you don't enter the dormant state too early."

"What's the matter?"

"Based on my experience." Li Luo said slowly, "When your parents know about your novel writing and have a showdown with each other, it won't be long before your relatives know about it."

"After all, it is also a Wanding work."

"Your relatives may have limited education and may not be able to appreciate the content, but the royalties are real."

"In one and a half years, I have earned RMB 700,000 or 800,000 in royalties. Can a normal high school student, college student, or even someone who has just graduated and started working, earn so much?"

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to help showing off to my relatives in private."

After hearing what Li Luo said, Xu Youyu's expression suddenly changed and he got up from the sofa in a flash.

If only Xu Rongsheng knew about this matter, Xu Youyu was not worried at all about the situation Li Luo said.

After all, Xu Rongsheng is not the kind of big talker at first glance, so he would not show off to his relatives everywhere just because of this matter.

But not Cui Suling!

From Cui Suling's point of view, everyone knows about this, even Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong know about it, so what's the point of sharing it with relatives?

After all, Cui Suling hadn't seen some of the content behind Xu Youyu's novel, so she thought what she wrote was serious.

After thinking about this, Xu Youyu quickly took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, thought about it, and sent a message to his father.

Xu Youyu felt that if he told his mother directly, the effect would be limited. At this time, his father would still have to take action.

After sending the message and seeing Xu Rongsheng's reply, Xu Youyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, fell down on the sofa again, and completely relaxed.

"One more thing." Li Luo added, "Since my parents could see the photos on Weibo during the annual meeting, other people might have seen them too, so I think you should not let down your guard.

Better."

"Stop scaring me!" When Xu Youyu heard what Li Luo was going to say, he immediately turned over on the sofa and glared at him angrily, "It's all because of you!"

"If you hadn't lied to me when you woke me up before, saying that my parents knew about my novel writing."

"Maybe my parents won't know!"

Li Luo: "...can you say this? Uncle Xu already knew about this last year."

"Hmph, I don't care." Xu Youyu kicked him angrily, "It's all up to you anyway, I'm so angry."

Li Luo grabbed her ankle and lifted Xu Youyu's leg up with a slight lift.

She, who has not exercised all year round and has poor body flexibility, immediately screamed and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Let go!"

Li Luo let go of his hand with a smile, and then said: "What time will you go home tomorrow night? If possible, wait until after dinner before leaving."

"What's wrong?" Xu Youyu couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing what he said, "You want to cook?"

"That's not true." Li Luo said with a smile, "I have prepared a surprise for my dad, and we will have a meal to celebrate."

"Huh? What's the surprise?"

"It will be kept secret for now."

…

night.

Li Luo was coding in the room.

When taking a break, I will process the information on QQ.

[Qianzhou]: Your book "Little Joy" has done quite well recently. It has obtained the premium badge. It ranks first in monthly votes and bestsellers on the reality category channel. It has basically no other competitors.

[Qianzhou]: And I think the word-of-mouth review is quite good. There were a lot of people who questioned the book when it first opened, but now many people are praising the plot for its good writing.

[Qianzhou]: In addition, the negotiations with the Copyright Department seem to be going smoothly, but I am not very clear about the specific situation. I will have to wait for the final result to come out before I receive the news.

[Qianzhou]: If you want to know the specific situation, you still have to ask yourself, the editor-in-chief or someone from the copyright department.

[Reignited]: Well, I understand.

In fact, it was a bit surprising to Li Luo that "Little Joy" could get a high-quality award.

Although he has never read the original novel of "Little Joy", novels adapted from this type of novel are generally not too long.

Li Luo enriched and supplemented the text according to the plot content of the 49 episodes of the TV series, writing a total of 800,000 words. The content and form of the original novel of "Little Joy" are definitely very different.

In his last life, he had also read a few news about the behind-the-scenes of "Little Joy". It was said that the content of the TV series was only based on the plot of the original novel as the context and framework, and many of the specific plots were filled in by the creative team themselves.

Excluding some settings in the TV series about why not eat minced meat, the plot logic and rhythm of "Little Joy" itself are quite outstanding.

Li Luo expanded it according to the content of the TV series, and wrote about 10,000 to 20,000 words for one episode. When put into the online text, it actually has a very compact plot.

For example, "I'm Really Not a Star" written by Li Luo is a pretentious and slap-in-the-face plot. There are many places where the number of words can be underestimated, or it can be said that it is deliberately foreshadowing multiple times.

Li Yang, the protagonist in the book, may have written a song and prepared to appear on a certain program. He could write twenty or thirty chapters for you, which would be approximately 50,000 to 60,000 words.

In "Little Joy", the conflicts are shorter and more urgent.

The content contained in 800,000 words, if it were really structured according to the writing method of Internet articles, would probably be worth two to three million words.

Just the emotional line between the male and female protagonists can create a long plot line.

Thinking of this, Li Luo clicked on the message sent to him by Lawyer Tian.

[Lawyer Tian]: Wenyue Group’s offer for the film and television rights to “Little Joy” is 15 million.

[Lawyer Tian]: To be honest, this price is exaggerated.

[Lawyer Tian]: After all, your book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" is the one with the most explosive results. In comparison, the results of "Little Joy" are far behind.

[Lawyer Tian]: However, Wenyue Group has already decided that "Little Joy" will be the first prize for realistic essays. It is said that this thing has a cooperative relationship with the Changning Municipal Press and Publication Bureau and is an official endorsement.

[Lawyer Tian]: I don’t know if Huayue Film and Television was bluffed or something, but the asking price is not particularly low anyway.

[Lawyer Tian]: Originally, I estimated that if your copy of "Little Joy" sold for seven to eight million, it would be huge.

[Lawyer Tian]: But looking at the current situation, the transaction price is likely to be more than 10 million.

[Reignited]: Okay, I understand. Please continue to follow up, Lawyer Tian, ​​and let me know when you have any follow-up news.

[Lawyer Tian]: No problem.

After reading the message from Lawyer Tian, ​​Li Luo also fell into deep thought.

We are now in the stage of 2016. Although the copyright craze for online articles is still warm, it has basically passed the craziest period.

What's more, "Little Joy" itself is not a hit online article. It relies more on the name of "Reignition", as well as the official endorsement of the essay award, plus the backing of Wenyue Group, to submit this article.

An inflated price.

Li Luo didn't care much about this.

He still remembered what a certain platinum boss said to him at the previous annual meeting.

When selling film and television rights for the first time, don’t worry about the price. The sale itself is the most important thing.

Because for Wenyue Group, which holds a large number of online copyrights, its pursuit is not to help every author sell their copyrights.

It’s about maximizing the value of the copyright in your hands.

To put it simply, if an ordinary high-quality online novel has an average subscription price of more than 3,000 yuan, are there really no film and television companies willing to buy it?

In fact, if the price for the film and television copyright of this kind of web article is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, there will still be many companies willing to hoard the copyright.

As long as one of these becomes popular, you can directly make money back.

But Wenyue Group directly quoted you several million, would you still buy it?

If the film and television rights of an ordinary book with tens of thousands of subscriptions are sold for hundreds of thousands, many companies will definitely be happy to acquire it. But if they come up and quote you ten million, will you buy it?

But if it’s those Internet articles that went viral on Qidian, and the books were ordered by tens of thousands, Wenyue Group would quote tens of millions.
