The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 233 0233, Copyright Issues (1)

Recently, the latest masterpiece launched by Youxianqi Company and Yunfeng, the basketball-themed youth comic "Slam Dunk", was launched and hotly updated on the Youxianqi FM website. It quickly swept the comic field in a very short time. It has exceeded 10 million readings in just over a month online, and has won the love of a large number of fans, becoming one of the most popular annual comics among the current hotly updated comics.

In addition, Yunfeng created a song called "I Want to Say I Love You Loudly" which echoed the theme and protagonist of "Slam Dunk", which triggered widespread discussion across the entire network.

Many netizens praised it, saying that it has been a long time since they saw such extreme comics and passionate songs. They couldn't help but stay up late to cheer and urge for more updates!
however……

In the editorial department of Panda Chinese Network, the editors have no time to enjoy the touching moments and memories brought by the comic "Slam Dunk".

For almost a month, they were either in meetings or on their way to meetings.

In the second half of the year, a novel website called "Squirrel Deer" rose rapidly, and its market share surpassed Shengshi Chinese Network and Tiantian Chinese Network, and was catching up with Panda Chinese Network.

Squirrel Deer specializes in two-dimensional time travel, cute harem, anime novels, anime fan fiction, anime novels, and anime fan fiction. Its representative works include "Discovering the Secrets of My Sisters After Traveling Through Time", "The Years I Was the Grim Reaper in MD", and "MD: I Possessed the Tin Man", all of which had first-time orders of more than 300,000.

"Fan fiction" has always been a niche category on the Panda Chinese website, but now it has become so popular that they were caught off guard.

Therefore, since the middle of last month, we have been holding meetings continuously to discuss countermeasures.

That day, the editors were called to the conference room again.

Hu Guoting looked much more haggard.

Panda Chinese Network's revenue in the first half of the year increased by 105% year-on-year, and copyright operation income increased by 366%, which attracted a large amount of capital injection.

On the one hand, it can certainly promote the output of more high-quality products, improve the level of works, and open up new themes. But on the other hand, the influx of capital has intensified the frenzy of platforms, and practitioners have also been forced by capital pressure and competitive situation to increase production and operations.

Just like after seeing that Squirrel Deer had reached the second place among domestic novel websites just by relying on a fan fiction category, the top management issued an order to support the fan fiction category.

With the funds in place, the essay contest was launched, but this does not mean that the fan fiction category of Panda Chinese Network will become popular.

Seeing that everyone was present, Hu Guoting coughed, and the conference room suddenly became quiet. He said, "MD Company has obtained the copyrights of the fan fiction of 20 popular comics in China. At the same time, we have also reached cooperation with Penguin Comics and DreamWorks Comics. Today's meeting is to discuss how to quickly increase the traffic of our website's fan fiction category."

Waited for a while.

Tian Qin, the editor-in-chief of Group 5, was the first to express her opinion, saying, "The development period of novels is relatively late. I think we can hold a writing competition for short stories and novellas."

Yu Mo, the editor-in-chief of Group 2, followed up, “We can also hold targeted writing competitions, such as fan fiction for a single comic book.”

Not wanting to be left behind, the editor-in-chief of Group 6, Long Wei, said, "The most popular comics in China right now are Slam Dunk and Storm I by Chao Yun and Mu Yu. Can we consider acquiring the copyrights of the fan fiction of these two comics before Song Shu Lu?"

……

Hu Guoting was very pleased to see everyone speaking enthusiastically and expressing their opinions.

We discussed it for a while.

Hu Guoting looked at a group of editor bees and asked, "Xiao Shen, do you have any good suggestions?"

Bee blinked and said seriously, "Editor-in-chief, the popular works on our website are also worth developing into fan fiction. We can make some contributions to them. Also, we can invite exclusive contracted authors such as Kuajie Tianwang, Nanyuan Limeng, and Erliang Heigouxue to write customized fan fiction. They have a good fan base and can bring traffic to the fan fiction category of our website."

Hu Guoting nodded slightly and said, "Very good suggestion."

Then, he paused and said to all the editors, "After the meeting, go and send invitations to your authors who have reached level 5 and exclusive contracted authors. The minimum salary is yuan per thousand words, and there is no upper limit."

Panda Chinese Network has suffered setbacks in its attempts to expand into overseas markets and now must maintain its position in the domestic market.

After returning to the office, Bee was the first to send a WeChat message to Yunfeng.

"It seems like class time at this point."

The bee stuck out its tongue and, instead of just waiting, sent a WeChat message to the author whose subordinate had reached level 5.

"Ding dong..."

In the blink of an eye, several authors who had reached level 5 responded.

"Mr. Bee, I can't write fan fiction."

"Sister Bee, the book is going to be finished in the next few days, I'll sign up."

"Excuse me, can you write a fanfiction of Zhu Xian?"

"Editor, I'm currently working on three books. If I start another one, my head will explode." "Oh no, I just started a new book, and the results are pretty good. I don't want to cut it, (ノへ￣、)."

……

Bee kept a record of all the authors willing to write custom fan fiction and sent them the requirements: "50,000 words of text + an outline of more than 1,000 words. Send it to my email when you are done."

I had just put the phone down when it rang again.

Seeing that it was a WeChat message from Yunfeng, Bee quickly opened it, but after seeing it, the expression on his face became solemn.

"Want to take a break?"

You know, Hu Guoting gave Yunfeng a special price, which was considered special treatment.

but……

Such a high guarantee + profit margin was rejected.

"has a problem!"

The bee held his cheek and thought for a while.

Although Yunfeng refused very tactfully, she still smelled something wrong.

"This matter needs to be reported to the editor-in-chief."

Bee got up and went to Hu Guoting's office.

“Hey, you’re looking for the editor-in-chief too?”

"Well, let's go together."

……

In front of Hu Guoting's office, Bee met Taishan, the editor-in-chief of Group 4, who was also Nan Yuan Limeng's editor.

The two knocked on the door and went in.

"What?" Hu Guoting was stunned for a moment, and said, "Kuajie Tianwang and Nanyuan Limeng both refused, and both said they wanted to take a break for a while."

Bee and Tarzan nodded.

Immediately, Hu Guoting frowned.

Taishan said: "Editor-in-chief, maybe it's because they failed to reach an agreement on the copyright of Fengyun novel last time, so they..."

Bee asked, "Could it be that the King of Cross-Boundary and Nan Yuan Li Meng have already met in real life?"

Hu Guoting didn't say anything, still frowning in thought.

How could it be such a coincidence? The reasons for rejection were exactly the same.

It’s okay to be the cross-border king, after all, "Release that Witch" just ended not long ago, but what about Nan Yuan Li Meng, "The Great Scholar" has been finished for many months.

for a long time.

Hu Guoting finally spoke and said to the two of them, "Let me contact Kuajie Tianwang and Nanyuan Limeng."

"Ok."

"understood."

……

Bee and Tarzan responded and left.

Hu Guoting picked up his phone and found the phone numbers of the King of Cross-Border and Nan Yuan Limeng. He hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not dial the number.

After a while, he got up and left.
