Chapter 168 0168, Putting into Work [Please Subscribe, Please Pass the Monthly Ticket]

After playing with Tang Yu for a few days, Yunfeng came to the Magic City from Pengcheng.

Panda Building, 23rd floor, Panda Chinese website.

Yunfeng went directly to the editor-in-chief Hu Guoting.

"I'm here." Hu Guoting asked, "Want some tea?"

Yunfeng nodded. This was what he liked. Besides, what Hu Guoting was drinking was Tieguanyin from Haixi Province, one of the top ten famous teas in China. It would be a waste not to drink it.

As Hu Guoting poured tea, he said, "I have asked the higher-ups about what you said. They will follow the terms of the contract. You have the priority to buy back."

Yunfeng asked again: "How much does it cost?"

The purpose of his visit was to discuss the repurchase of the audio and comic rights of the novel.

It is a bit too unrealistic to expect that a novel's average subscription will reach one million, that a great author will be signed to a contract, and that Panda Chinese Network will return the copyright.

Because this data is really difficult to achieve, take the two novels "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" as examples. They have been completed for some time and there are no new VIP chapters. The average subscription can only increase but not decrease. However, the average subscription has not yet exceeded 900,000, let alone one million.

Therefore, I can only spend my own money to buy back part of the copyright.

Hu Guoting heard this and replied, "As far as I know, audio copyrights are very cheap, but comic copyrights are a bit more expensive. As for how much it will cost, you will have to talk to the people in the operations department later to find out."

Although he is the editor-in-chief of Panda Chinese Network, the copyright of the novels is under the management of the operations department.

The audiobook industry on Blue Star started too late, and there are only a few companies involved, and they are very small. Therefore, there is not much market for audio copyrights, and the prices are relatively low.

Comics are different. Although Chinese comics started late, with the success of American comics, there is a market for comic copyrights, and the price is not low.

Yunfeng, Wang Defa and Ma Siyu have analyzed how much money it would take to win.

For the long novels such as "Zhu Xian", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and "Release that Witch", the audio copyright + comic copyright of each volume should be between three million and five million.

As for the short stories "Cat's Eye", "The Dart", "The Legend of Wukong", "The Pawnshop No. 8", "Waiting for Someone at a Coffee Shop", and "Captain Tsubasa: Elementary School", the audio copyright + comics copyright of each book should be between and million.

How much money is finally won depends on how the negotiation goes.

Hu Guoting took a sip of tea and asked, "You bought back the comic copyright. Do you plan to draw it yourself?" The audio copyright was simply ignored.

Yunfeng put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I have this idea." He said three-tenths of this and kept the other seven-tenths.

Hu Guoting added: "If it is of the same quality as Feng Yun I, it will surely share the domestic comics market share with American comics."

China has a population of 70 billion, accounting for a quarter of the world's total population. In this huge market, the comics industry is dominated by American comics, which have taken over % of the market share.

Although he is in the novel industry, he also hopes that Chinese animation will develop in a good direction.

Yunfeng didn't think about it in this way.

In fact, no matter which industry it is, as long as the quality is good, why worry about not being able to grab market share?

Hu Guoting changed the subject and said, "The performance of Release the Witch did not meet expectations. Did this affect you?"

"Influence?" Yunfeng said calmly, "No, it doesn't exist. The result is not bad, right?"

Hu Guoting did not deny it, but said: "In the overseas market, we encountered resistance from J.K.'s new book, and lost nearly 70% of the traffic."

Yunfeng blinked and said, "After all, J.K. is a top author of Western fantasy. The Magic World series has laid a solid foundation, and he has the home advantage. It's already great that he can grab 30% of the traffic."

A series of novels is composed of many independent novels but with certain internal connections. Any one of the novels has the integrity of a general novel and has strong independence in terms of setting, characters, plot and structure. At the same time, each article refers to and complements each other and is parallel or continuous in time and space.

Compared to regular novels, series novels are more difficult to write.

And "The Magic World" has eight parts, which is even more difficult.

Furthermore, J.K.'s writing skills are really superb, including the description of each character, the foreshadowing of the plot, the description of the environment, etc., which are all just right and perfect. He has created a grand magical world system, which not only has magic, but also friendship and love, as well as selfless family affection.

If you want to surpass "The Wizarding World", perhaps the only fantasy literature series on Earth is "Harry Potter" written by J.K. Rowling, or "The Lord of the Rings" written by J.R.R. Tolkien.

However, Yunfeng has not read either of these two series of novels. He has seen one or two adapted movies, but has almost forgotten the plots.

After chatting for a while, someone from the operations department came.

Move to the meeting room.

The discussion lasted two hours.

The results are good.

Both sides made concessions.

In the end, the three novels were 12 million, the six short stories were 6 million, and the total was 18 million. After the discussion, the contract was drawn up and signed directly.

First, I was too lazy to make another trip; second, I wanted to avoid any further changes; and third, I needed it urgently.

Yunfeng took the contract and came to Youxianqi Company.

I came to Shanghai today for more than just this one thing.

The audio and video studio has almost recruited enough people. The current staff includes one editor, one sound engineer, two voice actors (one male and one female), one animator, one editor, and one studio assistant.

The website and app of Xianqi FM have also been completed by an outsourcing company. On Blue Star, as long as you have money, you can do these things quickly.

"You've come just in time." Zheng Rong got straight to the point and said, "The first audio comic of "Storm and Cloud I" has been produced. Can you go take a look?"

Yunfeng was stunned: "So fast?"

Zheng Rong said, "Fast? It took half a month to finish one chapter."

Audio comics are based on comics. They split high-quality comics into single frames, then disassemble the different parts of the picture and assign them to different layers. The bones are bound using software, and then the animator adjusts the movements to make the picture move slightly, and finally adds post-production sound effects synthesis.

In comparison, the production of audio comics is much simpler than animation.

However, it involves multiple steps and takes a lot of time.

Moreover, these employees of the audio and video studio have never been exposed to audio comics, and they need a process of learning and adaptation.

Yunfeng came to the office area of ​​the audio and video studio.

"Great God."

Here, the only one who knows Yunfeng is Wu Qiu.

Yunfeng smiled and nodded, then asked, "Are you used to working here?"

Some video UP hosts can work alone, but once they join a team or company, they can’t do it because the way of doing things has changed.

Wu Qiu replied: "I'm used to it."

The audience for the videos I make on Bilibili, such as speed-reading novels, is very small. I make five or six videos a month, but only one of them may have over a million views, and sometimes even none. The income is very unstable. Now that I work in a company, I punch in and out, and my freedom is not as high as before, but my income is stable.

He is already an adult and needs to think about his future life. Besides, he is still doing what he likes.

Yunfeng asked again: "What are you responsible for now?"

Wu Qiu replied: "The operation of the company's Bilibili account, as well as the copywriting of audio novels and audio comics."

Yunfeng continued, "The first audio comic of "Wind and Cloud I" has been produced, right?"

Wu Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, it's with Brother Nie."

Nie Wenjun is an animator in the audio and video studio.

"Xiao Wu, is our studio hiring again?" He thought Yunfeng was a new employee.

Wu Qiu hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, this is a great god."

"Great God?" Nie Wenjun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is it?"

Just as he said this, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked, "Boss... Boss?"

There are two bosses in Xianqi Company, Zheng Rong and Yunfeng. Employees generally call Zheng Rong "Brother Zheng" and Yunfeng "Boss". Some people who admire Yunfeng more still call him "God".

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said, "Let me take a look at the first chapter of the audio comic of "Wind and Cloud I"."

Nie Wenjun said repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

As he spoke, he quickly found the video file.

"Master, please sit down." Wu Qiu moved a chair over.

"Thank you." After Yunfeng sat down, he said to Nie Wenjun, "Let's get started."

Nie Wenjun pressed the play button.

After an opening animation of the company and studio, the main film begins.

[There are many martial arts sects today. One of them, called "Tianxiahui", has developed very rapidly. Its leader, Xiongba, is ruthless and cruel.

On this day, flames shot up into the sky in Huo's Manor...】
