“Is there a good chance of adapting antique novels?”

In the rental house, Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, antique novels are not popular in the Internet literature circle, but the market in the film and television circle is huge." On the other end of the network, Youyou replied with a smile.

It is true that the antique genre has had its small moments of glory, just like the hacker genre.

However, as the online article market sinks and gradually moves towards a "short, flat and fast" rhythm, antique themes are also becoming saturated and "generalized". In addition, more and more readers tend to live broadcast treasure appraisals and play with their own collections. This also It has created a big IP that is difficult for the Internet literary circle to breed antique novels again.

In the film and television industry, adaptations of antique novels are still a popular subject with a wide audience.

To put it simply, the audiences for antique novels and antique films are not the same, so the markets are also different.

"It should be quite difficult to adapt antique themes for film and television." Lin Chuan smiled and replied.

Youyou replied: "Yes, on the one hand, antique themes require strong professionalism. On the other hand, it is a bit difficult to improve its performance. At least ten thousand orders will enter the scope of adaptation."

"Sure enough." Lin Chuan laughed dryly.

"Yours is an antique forgery, and it may have good results. So, can you let me read the opening chapter first?" Youyou replied in a joking tone.

Lin Chuan grinned, and quickly tapped the keyboard of his mobile phone with his two thumbs: "Read it? Youyou, you are starting to praise me."

"You are now an author with an average of 20,000, and you are number one in the anti-fraud essay competition. You also have film and television adaptations. Looking at the online literary circle, you are a leader, and I am still a small editor. What do you call me if you don't call me 'read'? Haha.jpg" Youyou teased.

"Then let's read it briefly?" Lin Chuan had a smile on his face.

The relationship between him and Youyou is not just an ordinary editor and writer, but more like friends who support each other.

At that time, Lin Chuan was an old street hustler, and Yuyou was willing to sign him and supported him many times. "Hacker Kingdom" had more than 300 orders. Yuyou just rushed over and made a bet with the editor-in-chief, and won the "Internet writing overseas".

Now, Youyou is a small editor, and Lin Chuan is willing to sign her.

She has already helped me a few times, why can I just turn around and walk away without recognizing the person?

Oh, you scumbag author!

Soon, Lin Chuan walked into the room, turned on the computer, sorted out the beginning, and sent it to Youyou.

the other side.

Magic City.

The sunlight above, like strips of fine golden satin, gently falls on the glass curtain wall of the Qihang Novel office building. It shines brightly and is reflected in the sparkling river water, contrasting with the white clouds in the sky.

Youyou is wearing a light pink dress and a short knitted sweater of the same color. She is sitting at the desk, leaning on the chair, with a bright and bright smile on her face as carved as a peach blossom in spring. .

Because Lin Chuan has already sent the opening chapter of the new book.

“Last week’s antiques.”

Youyou pursed her lips, with a smile on her face, and quickly opened the 'last week's antique.doc' file and started to 'read' it eagerly.

The opening chapter contains a total of 50,000 words, and I read it repeatedly for more than an hour.

Afterwards, she typed the 50,000 words carefully, then walked through the corridor and walked to the office of editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing.

Maybe she took advantage of Lin Chuan's influence.

Youyou stepped on a pair of white flat shoes, straightened her waist slightly, and walked on the road. Her carefully combed high ponytail fluttered gently with her steady steps, and a few strands of hair hung softly by her ears, like the spring breeze. Crossing the lake, there are layers of ripples.

Boom, boom.

Youyou gently knocked on the door of editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing's office.

Zhang Yixing looked up and said with a smile: "Yuyou, people feel so refreshed when happy events happen."

Youyou walked into the editor-in-chief's office and smiled: "Of course, editor-in-chief, I'm here to ask for your recommendation for film and television adaptations!"

Zhang Yixing's smile soon solidified on his face, and he twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yuyou, your subordinate Lin Chuan just wrote the top-ranked anti-fraud essay and won a film and television adaptation. Now you are asking me for a recommendation for film and television adaptation. ?”

In Qihang Novel, conventional novel IP derivation and development need to go through layers of screening and review. After confirming its market value, the corresponding copyright development application process will be carried out.

The editor-in-chief has a valuable recommendation vote.

This recommendation vote is very important. It can 'advise' a work into the copyright owner's vision for selection and adaptation, and it is very likely to get the opportunity to adapt.

Of course, this recommended permission is not to be used casually.

Uniform scores are the most basic requirement, and the editor-in-chief also needs to conduct a multi-faceted investigation before finally deciding whether to recommend.

"Chief Editor, I admit that I was a little rash, but there are excellent works, so of course I have to strongly recommend them." Youyou said with a smile.

"Whose excellent work is it?" Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing asked with a smile.

"Lin Chuan's works." Youyou replied.

Zhang Yixing looked slightly startled: "Didn't his "All or Nothing" get a film and television adaptation?"

"He's going to release a new book."

Youyou then sent the carefully typed 50,000 words to Zhang Yixing.

Zhang Yixing hadn't received the document yet, so he raised his head and glanced at Youyou: "It hasn't been sent yet, how can I recommend it?"

Youyou said with a cheerful smile: "I'm paving the way for him first. After he sends it out, as soon as the results come in, I will immediately recommend the adaptation to him, eliminating the need for intermediate procedures."

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing shook his head, secretly laughing that Youyou was still a little naive.

Many talented authors, after a book becomes a big hit, will have higher requirements for the next book.

Once the early results are not satisfactory, he cannot accept it and may directly cut it and start a new book. If he is not satisfied, he will continue to cut it, thus falling into an endless cycle and returning to the starting point.

As the editor-in-chief, Zhang Yixing has a deep understanding of this aspect.

"You haven't even started yet, and you are thinking about helping him get a recommendation for film and television adaptation. What if it fails?"

Youyou blinked: "You will know when you read it, no one can beat him in this field."

"What field?"

Zhang Yixing was stunned and looked down at the file sent by Youyou, "Last week's antiques... He has deep attainments in the field of antiques?"

Youyou shook his head and smiled: "In the field of antiques, I don't know, but in the field of crime themes, no one can beat him."

Just like, no one can beat the gambling god Gao Jin in the BGM of 'Dengdengdeng', no one can beat a man's former white moonlight in his life, even if the white moonlight himself comes, he can't do it.

In the field of crime, the two runners-up in the cold winter have a deep understanding.

So, he originally decided to release a new book in June, but then he changed his mind and decided to wait until Lin Chuan released it and avoid Lin Chuan before releasing the new book.

If I can't afford to offend him, can I not hide?

Zhang Yixing usually pays less attention to Lin Chuan than Youyou. Now, after Youyou said this, his brows slightly frowned, thinking about the novels written by Lin Chuan: "What you said seems to make sense."

"So, can the recommendation for film and television adaptation be given to Lin Chuan's "Last Week's Antiques"?" Youyou took the opportunity to say.

"I haven't read it yet." Editor-in-Chief Zhang Yixing laughed.

Then.

He opened the file "Last Week's Antiques.doc" and Lin Chuan's novel came into his sight.

'My name is Lin. '

'I am known as the leader of the antique circle, respected and sought after by thousands of people. '

'But no one knows that I am also the most professional antique counterfeiter in the world. ’

‘I have imitated countless antiques in my life, some of which were collected by famous people, some were highly sought after in the antique circle, and even the Daying Museum has my imitations, which are displayed in glass cabinets for people to appreciate and appreciate the historical charm. ’

‘Yes, as long as I don’t disclose these secrets, these imitations will be regarded as authentic and passed down. ’

‘No one knows whether they are real or fake. ’

‘Until I saw more and more ordinary people entering the antique circle, being cheated by the scheme, and even losing their fortunes. The entire antique circle is full of the bad atmosphere of making profits by counterfeiting. ’

‘This is definitely not the scene I want to see! ’

‘I know that if this continues, the antique circle will completely become a tool for capital profit and completely lose its original meaning. ’

‘So, I hope to use my life to expose antique counterfeiting and warn those who want to buy antiques or have already bought antiques. ’

‘……’

Seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Zhang Yixing frowned and looked complicated.

"Editor-in-chief, is there something wrong with the opening?"

Youyou looked at Zhang Yixing and felt that Zhang Yixing's demeanor was a little strange, so she asked.

"Antiques are set up, it's really a scam!" Zhang Yixing sighed.

Youyou opened her mouth slightly, her face was surprised, and asked tentatively: "Have you been scammed by a scam?"

Zhang Yixing waved his hands repeatedly and denied three times: "It's not me, I didn't, how could I be scammed?"

"I thought you were scammed." Youyou smiled.

"Uh..."

Zhang Yixing pulled the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "It's not me, it's not me, I have a friend who likes to buy some jade collections. Last time, he tried to buy a bowl-shaped porcelain from the Qing Dynasty through someone's introduction. It seems to be called something like the Qing Kangxi Five-Colored Fish Bowl. He spent 280,000 yuan, but my friend found out a few days later that it was fake! Damn it!"

"Is it the 'Qing Kangxi Five-Colored Fish and Algae Patterned Hat Bowl'?"

Youyou raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"Oh, yes, yes! It's this bowl." Zhang Yixing responded repeatedly. Suddenly, he looked at Youyou, "Youyou, how do you know the name of this bowl?"

"There's no one else here. Answer me a question first." Youyou smiled.

"What question?"

"Is that friend who was cheated you?" Youyou asked with a smile.

"It's not me, it's not me. How could I be cheated?" Zhang Yixing was annoyed and quickly changed the direction, "Are you also in the antique circle? You know the 'Qing Kangxi Five-Colored Fish and Algae Patterned Hat Bowl'."

"I'm not in the antique circle, but Lin Chuan's novel records the perfect method of imitating the 'Qing Kangxi Five-Colored Fish and Algae Patterned Hat Bowl', in this 50,000-word opening."

Youyou shook his head and pointed his finger at the editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing's mobile phone.

Hmm?

Zhang Yixing frowned and immediately read attentively, sinking into the opening content of Lin Chuan's "Last Week's Antiques".

'Lin's Ceramics, originally a large ceramic workshop in the city, was deeply loved. ’

‘However, the son of the president of the Ceramics Association returned from overseas, and his ceramic design concept is far different from mine. However, my popularity is always higher in every ceramic art exhibition and competition. ’

‘Until one cocktail party, I made a slip of the tongue, and no one in the entire county appreciated your work. The son of the president of the Ceramics Association made a big fuss about it, so I offended all the major ceramic merchants, and the Lin’s Ceramics Workshop fell into a dilemma of no one accepting goods, and was almost bankrupt. ’

'I sat blankly in the courtyard of Lin's Ceramics Workshop, listening to the crisp sound of the strings of wind chimes under the eaves. Then I looked at Xiaoqing, who had been accompanying me, and asked me worriedly what to do. ’

‘I know that in this city, I can’t compete with the son of the president of the Ceramics Association in the field of ceramics. ’

‘There are two paths before me. One is to leave here and develop ceramics elsewhere, and the other is to change careers. ’

‘I chose to change careers! ’

‘Immediately, I decided to file for bankruptcy and lay off the workers, leaving only Xiao Qing, whom I could trust, as my assistant. ’

‘I want to imitate antiques. ’

‘Actually, the ancestor of Lin’s Ceramics started out as an antique counterfeiter. But because the antique counterfeiter was discovered, he made too many enemies, so he fled to this small town and started a ceramics business. ’

‘The technology of antique counterfeiting has also been passed down secretly, until my generation finally put it to use. ’

‘The old wooden door in the yard has been worn smooth by the years. I took Xiaoqing and stepped out to buy the materials needed to imitate antiques. ’

‘The first antique I wanted to imitate was a piece of porcelain. ’

‘——Five-color fish and algae pattern bamboo hat bowl from Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. ’

‘…’

Zhang Yixing flipped through page after page, and as Lin returned to his ancestral profession - antique counterfeiting, he also wrote out the method of counterfeiting the colorful fish and algae pattern bamboo hats and bowls of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

Purchase a Qing Dynasty white bamboo hat bowl, repaint the old one, paint on the glaze, fire it twice, use traditional Chinese medicine + alcohol + a small drop of potassium permanganate to make it old, and finish it off.

A colorful bamboo hat bowl with fish and algae patterns from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty comes to life on the paper.

Zhang Yixing was stunned and kept mumbling: "Real punishment, and there are methods of identification. If I had read this novel earlier, my two hundred and eighty eight hundred yuan would not have been cheated."

Turning the page further, the novel comes to an abrupt end.

Before I knew it, I had finished reading the 50,000 words of "Last Week's Antiques".

"Gone?"

Zhang Yixing still wanted to see the follow-up: Lin took the 'Qing Kangxi Colorful Fish and Algae Pattern Bamboo Hat Bowl' to an antique master for appraisal. What kind of evaluation would the antique master give, and whether it could be mistaken for the real thing.

"Editor-in-chief, do you think there is any chance of film and television adaptation?" Yuyou took the opportunity to ask without forgetting her purpose.

"Generally, works require a minimum subscription of 20,000 yuan. Now that they are rolled up, you need 30,000 yuan to have a chance to be adapted for film and television." Zhang Yixing said thoughtfully, and then he changed the topic, "But this one "Last Week" "Antique", the subject matter is niche, it can be lowered a bit."

"How much?" Youyou asked hurriedly.

"The minimum is fifteen thousand." Zhang Yixing said with a smile.

For "Last Week's Antiques", he did not review the manuscript with the eyes of an editor, but became a reader of it and immersed himself in it.

He found that Lin Chuan's new book of 50,000 words was a superior work, both in terms of its professionalism in antique counterfeiting and the tension of the plot.

If we can maintain this level and reach an average subscription of 15,000, there will be a real chance for film and television adaptation.

"Thank you, editor-in-chief."

Youyou pursed her lips, with a smile on her face.

"I haven't recommended film and television adaptations yet, so don't worry. Thank you." Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing smiled, and then said, "If Lin Chuan can have two film and television adaptations of his works, and the popularity is good, it will have a big impact on your performance. promote."

Youyou's eyes suddenly lit up: "How much improvement is there?"

The performance of an editor is actually how much revenue it can generate for a novel website. Film and television adaptations, especially those that become popular after the adaptation, cannot improve the performance of editors as much as tens of thousands of works.

After all, there is a saying in the Internet literature circle that ‘IP is king’.

A 19-year-old genius writer who achieved platinum status published a novel on the entire Internet. It is conservatively estimated that the IP copyright fee will be as high as hundreds of millions, which is difficult to match with royalties.

That’s why we say that ‘novel IP derivatives’ are another growth route for online writers.

Editor-in-chief Zhang Yixing thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "It shouldn't be a problem to help you attack the editor-in-chief."

"Editor-in-Chief!?"

Youyou was startled for a moment, her pupils shrank, and her face was full of surprise.

Lin Chuan's two film and television adaptations, if the popularity is good, she can challenge the editor-in-chief... Hiss!

What is this called?

A dog relying on human power? Mother is more valuable than son? Or will one person achieve enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven?

Bah bah bah!

For a moment, Youyou couldn't think of a suitable idiom to describe the relationship between her and Lin Chuan.

finally.

Youyou walked out of the office happily, humming a tune with cheerful steps, and sent a message to Lin Chuan:

"Linchuan, you are truly my treasure!"

To make up for last night’s chapter, it’s over 4,600 words. Let’s continue tonight!
