Chapter 422 It turns out that you are holding back your ultimate move! (asking for monthly ticket)
Although the "Three-Body" Earth Past episode has two climaxes in the ending, namely "The Guzheng Project" and "The Appearance of Tomoko", most of the content is actually the foreshadowing of the Three-Body story.
It foreshadows the main characters such as Ye Wenjie and Shi Qiang, the ETO organization, and the core conflict of the book when the Trisolaran civilization invades the earth.
This is called foreshadowing in writing... but in other things... it's called foreplay!
So after watching "The Three-Body Problem": Earth's Past, and seeing Li Youzhi saying that the upcoming plot will not be updated in a short time, how did netizens feel?
It's like being handcuffed to the bed by a slut, and then she dances for fifteen minutes in front of you, throwing away all your clothes one by one...and then she runs away!
Who can bear this?
In the live broadcast room.
As soon as Li Youzhi finished speaking, netizens in the interactive area immediately went crazy!
"I didn't give out the reward this morning. When I saw that there was no contract signed, I thought it was because the contract status of "The Three-Body Problem" has not changed! Damn it, Yuewen won't sign a book like this?"
"My mother cried in anger. Are Yuewen's contract standards so high? Yuewen Chinese website is in trouble!"
"No, I can't bear this grievance. I just got excited about reading the novel and then stopped following it. What the hell is the difference between this and Yue Keli's child being weaned? It's inhumane!"
"Brother, since you've conceived the second part, you can just send it out. If it doesn't work, you charge a fee and I'll pay for it. Why don't I pay for it!"
In the office, Li Youzhi smacked his lips as he watched netizen comments rolling on the screen of his mobile phone.
It's not that Brother Zhi doesn't feel sorry for you, it's really... Brother Zhi also needs to pursue progress.
Seeing that the live broadcast room was filled with mourning and the scene was completely out of control, Li Youzhi silently turned off the live broadcast.
As his live broadcast was cut off, a group of netizens who were "shocked by the bad news" couldn't hold it any longer!
The next second after the live broadcast was cut off, Li Youzhi's shaking hands comment area was directly displayed with a splash screen effect.
"Mom, my little brother is rebellious and disobedient!"
"If he dares to cut off the watch today, he will cut off my incense tomorrow! Ma Dan, I will buy a ticket to go to Rongcheng Agricultural University right now. If his toilet is not covered with blades, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in my heart!"
"Obviously Yuewen didn't sign the contract with me, so why are you so hard on me?"
"That's right, the little brother said that Yue Wen didn't sign the contract, so he considered not continuing to serialize it online. If Yue Wen signed it, wouldn't he update it? What are you doing to the little brother? Go to Yue Wen!"
In the comment area, as a few people shouted loudly, countless netizens who were still unable to extricate themselves from "Three-Body: Past Events on Earth" rushed to Yuewen's operational customer service page...
Just ten minutes later, Yuewen Operations customer service... exploded.
Yuewen Group, Literature Department.
"Mr. Liu, what is going on! In just thirty minutes, our operation and maintenance side received hundreds of thousands of random complaints. It turned out to be because you did not sign a contract for a book called "The Three-Body Problem". Operation and Maintenance The server here is about to burst, and the entire feedback system has been paralyzed. Can you please deal with it quickly?"
In the office, Liu Dongchuan's back molars almost broke when he heard the questions and complaints from the person in charge of the website operation and maintenance department on the phone!
If what we say works, let alone signing this book...it should be recommended on the big splash screen this morning, okay?
Through the phone, Liu Dongchuan hung up the phone silently, listening to the anxious customer service reply from the operation and maintenance department.
Seeing that "Three-Body" backstage had already exceeded 550,000 in collections and 400,000 in follow-up readings, he took a deep breath.
After two days of serialization, the current popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" is no longer solely caused by the fans brought here by Li Youzhi.
On this site, it has also attracted nearly 150,000 senior readers to collect and read it.
With such popularity, if Li Youzhi published the following content in a physical book, Liu Dongchuan would actually be able to accept it.
But if other online literature platforms sign this book, it will be too hurt for Yuewen Chinese.com, whose online payment business has been slow to grow!
After his cheeks twitched for a while, Liu Dongchuan pushed open the office door and rushed to the copyright department with great momentum!
Ten minutes later, Tu Lisong's office.
"Lao Liu, why can't you understand? This guy is fishing here! He obviously wants to use the book "The Three-Body Problem" as a gimmick to force us to buy the copyright of his "Inception World"!"
Seeing Tu Lisong tapping the notebook in front of him angrily with his fingers, Liu Dongchuan directly pressed his hands on the desk.
"I know he is fishing, but this bait is so fragrant! Mr. Tu, can't you just do your best and help our literature department sign "The Three-Body Problem"?"
Looking directly into Liu Dongchuan's red eyes, Tu Lisong took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.
"I really can't control this matter. The market for sci-fi copyrights is not good. We can't take pictures ourselves if we buy them for 50 million, and we can't sell them, so we can only keep them at the bottom of the box. Your literature department can generate electricity for love in order to incubate copyrights. We The Copyright Department wants performance. Okay, Lao Liu, I have something to do and I’ll leave first, you can do whatever you want!”
Standing in front of his desk, Liu Dongchuan clenched his fists and made a crunching sound as he watched Tu Lisong stride away and leave him alone in the office.
Damn, in the past few years, your copyright department has been reselling the IP incubated by the website, making a profit of 40 to 5 billion a year. Now I'm asking you to do me a little favor and you won't do it...
You bitch, if you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!
Thinking this, Liu Dongchuan took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
After rummaging through WeChat, I silently clicked on a WeChat avatar with the ID "Pony".
Yuewen Group is an online literary brand, but at the same time... it is also a subsidiary of Xunteng, the largest Internet giant in China, and an important part of Xunteng's new cultural and creative strategy!
Although Liu Dongchuan's level in the group is not T1, he has been in contact with Xunteng's bosses at the annual meeting before.
At this time, Liu Dongchuan felt heartbroken when he looked at the chat interface where PONY Mana had never sent a message.
"Director Ma, I am Liu Dongchuan, the editor-in-chief of Yuewen Chinese website. Recently, a science fiction-themed novel was published on our website that is very good. I heard that you were keen on ET and science fiction when you were young, so I specially recommend it to you. Portal: " "Three-body"..."
At the annual meeting, I heard that Pony Ma was particularly keen on mysterious things when he was young, and even formed an extraterrestrial life exploration club in college.
Holding his phone and thinking about the jokes of the company's big guys at the annual meeting, Liu Dongchuan took a deep breath... and clicked send!
…
Shenzhen City, Xunteng Headquarters Building, top-floor conference room.
"According to statistics in the first half of this year, we completed an average of 7,453 requirements and submitted code 120,000 times per day. 35% of the requirements will be responded to within one day, and 54% of the requirements will be developed within three days. Compared with last year, we have The average time to resolve a single BUG was shortened by 42%..."
Ding dong.
At the head of the long conference table, Ma Xunteng, who was listening to the report from the head of the technical group, lowered his eyelids.
When he saw the message popping up on his personal mobile phone, his face was as calm as water, but Jio under the chair was already buckled into a ball in his leather shoes!
Who is (;д)?
(;Дi|!) Who is it? !
Who on earth spread those scandalous things about my youth?
Liu Dongchuan... even the literary editor-in-chief of a subsidiary company knows about it, so... my dark history is already known to everyone!
"Mr. Ma...Mr. Ma?"
Just as Ma Tencent was performing crazily in the small theater inside his skull, someone below gently called twice.
"Oh, not bad."
After coming back to his senses and looking at his subordinates who had finished their reports, Ma Tencent nodded.
He looked at his watch and stood up.
"I still have to go to the capital. I'll stop here today. I already know the report of the business group. I will refer to today's report at the 3Quarter meeting next month to make detailed plans. Thank you for your hard work."
Nodding to everyone in the conference room who stood up respectfully, Ma Tencent picked up the mobile phone on the table and left steadily surrounded by his assistants.
Half an hour later.
Inside the private plane heading to the capital.
Looking at the clouds pressed down by the plane outside the window and the dark blue skyline above under the moonlight, Ma Tencent put down the mineral water in his hand.
He silently picked up the phone, looked at the link sent by Liu Dongchuan, and curled his lips.
If he hadn't started an Internet company, who wouldn't have been a science fiction novelist?
Also "The Three-Body Problem"...the title of this novel shows a lack of imagination!
I think if I had written "The Shockwave of Busby Square" back then, would China's highest science fiction literature award now be called the Galaxy Award?
It has long been changed to the Xunteng Award!
Let me criticize and criticize,
With this thought in mind, he clicked on the first page of "The Three-Body Problem".
…
Liu Dongchuan spent the whole night in anxiety.
After the enthusiasm of the previous half hour passed, he felt that he had been too excited and too heady.
Damn it, if this was not a good idea, I... would have to find a job again at the age of forty-five!
Looking at the WeChat chat interface that had been sent and could not be undone and had not received any reply all night, Liu Dongchuan was silent and shed tears.
"Mr. Liu..."
"Ah? Is the president looking for me?"
In the office in the morning, Liu Dongchuan jumped up from his office chair when he heard his assistant's greeting as he opened the door!
"Ah... no, I just asked you if you wanted coffee..."
Seeing the startled assistant, Liu Dongchuan waved his hands and lowered his shoulders and back again.
Ding dong.
Just when Liu Dongchuan returned to his anxious state, his phone suddenly lit up.
After glancing at the new information, Liu Dongchuan's pupils instantly dilated!
Holding the phone in both hands, he quickly opened WeChat.
"What's next? Don't the authors of your Chinese website update every day? When will it be released today?"
Looking at the three consecutive question marks sent by pony, Liu Dongchuan took a deep breath.
In an instant, he straightened his back and broadened his shoulders, just like Tom at the beginning of each episode of "Tom and Jerry", striding towards the copyright department with a proud stride!
Looking at his back as if exterminating rats, the assistant blinked.
Chief Editor, what's going on today?
There is a kind of... the contrast between learning that I am impotent, and then suddenly learning that I can implant a prosthetic corpus cavernosum to survive... If it doesn't work, I have to go check it out!
With ten thousand tons of gossip, the assistant quickly followed.
However, before she could reach the copyright department's office area, she heard a loud bang in the distance - like a cell phone being slapped directly on the table.
"Director Ma is asking me now, how should I reply to him? Come on, come on, tell me, how should I reply?"
Fifty meters away, the assistant took a deep breath when he heard Liu Dongchuan's roar that he wished even the Martians could hear.
Good guy, isn't that the direction of the office of Mr. Tu, the boss of the copyright department?
Mr. Liu... is getting excited!
…
It was Li Youzhi who really stood up.
The whole night last night, his cell phone didn't stop.
Faced with crazy reminders from netizens, he had no choice but to block the hand-shaking prompts. This ensured that the phone would not run out of battery in an hour.
But now, listening to Tu Lisong on the other end of the phone eagerly asking him to sign a contract for "The Three-Body Problem", Li Youzhi crossed his legs.
"The copyright of "Brain World" is 50 million, excluding the article "The Wandering Earth". Mr. Tu, have you made up your mind?"
"No problem, as long as you can resume the update of "Three-Body" today and complete the contract... I will go over and finalize the copyright of "Brain World" with you now!"
So happy?
Here... I'm afraid there's a scam!
Li Youzhi smacked his lips when he heard Tu Lisong's unhesitating acceptance on the phone.
What happened last night?
Are netizens so powerful?
No... Although the Leziren netizens have fighting ability, they should not be able to do so.
With this in mind, Li Youzhi made another request;
"I also want the Galaxy Award."
"No problem! This award is sponsored by our Yuewen, we can arrange everything!"
Wuhu?
Are you so easy to talk to?
Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows and probed;
"I want to adapt the IP "The Wandering Earth" into a movie. You Yuewen and Chengying Culture have to support me. At least 500 million!"
This time there was silence on the other side of the phone, and Li Youzhi clearly heard the sound of gnashing of teeth.
"Li Youzhi, don't go too far!"
Tsk,
Li Youzhi smacked his mouth when he heard Tu Lisong's voice squeezed out through his teeth.
Article 11 of "Workplace Rules": Seek the best, and the best way to achieve your own goals in negotiations is to put forward a request that the other party cannot meet, and then make a compromise.
For example, if your unit is short of a fan and you report directly and ask for an electric fan, the purchasing department may send you a fan later.
But if you have to write a report detailing the impact of high temperature on work efficiency, and then apply for a central air conditioner... then you will most likely get two electric fans.
"One hundred million! Our copyright department and Chengying Culture operate independently, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship. I can only have so much face!"
Li Youzhi nodded after hearing Tu Lisong's reply that was trying not to curse.
You see, Brother Zhi originally wanted an investment of 50 million.
After the box office split of "Dear" ended, he had a total of 35 million in his hands. The past two months have been a success. The endorsement fees from Rice Technology and Warwick this year totaled 26 million after tax. There is currently a balance of 22 million in Guanghua's account.
The current copyright of the world of imagination is almost 40 million after tax. After calculation, I can use 120 million now.
In addition, with this investment of 100 million... Let's discuss some sponsorship fees with the fathers of Shunfeng, Dami Technology, and Warwick...
Silently, Li Youzhi opened his list of suggested tasks, the SS-level task with the highest reward currently (filming a science fiction blockbuster).
"Okay, Mr. Tu, I feel your sincerity. I will meet with the website to sign the contract later, and continue to update "The Three-Body Problem"."
After casually replying to Tu Lisong, Li Youzhi hung up the phone and reopened the shaking notification.
Looking at the more than 400,000 reminder messages in the comment area, Li Youzhi took a deep breath.
More than half a month ago, just after the filming of "Eye" was completed, I took out the screenshot of a netizen who suggested that he shoot a science fiction blockbuster, and opened the dynamic editing page.
"I would like to solemnly apologize to all the friends who follow me and follow "The Three-Body Problem"! Yesterday, I took advantage of everyone's emotions and public opinion and sold the copyright of "Brain World" for 50 million."
"From the beginning of accepting everyone's science fiction work "Eye" to the current serialization of "The Three-Body Problem", I have received a lot of support and encouragement from my friends, and I have also been touched a lot by this support and encouragement.
You let me see that in this impetuous era, there are still so many pairs of eyes willing to look up at the stars!
So here, two things are announced; first, the signing of "The Three-Body Problem" has been negotiated, and updates will be resumed today to bring you the second Dark Forest story.
Secondly, I myself and Heguang Culture will invest 120 million in Heguang Culture's first official science fiction project "The Wandering Earth", which will be officially launched starting today! "
It's about nine o'clock in the morning.
A group of netizens who were used to Li Youzhi's hundreds of thousands of angry updates every day but suddenly stopped crying are wailing in the comment area.
I saw Li Youzhi's "apology post" and the screenshot of the suggestion posted by a shady netizen before, with more than 40,000 likes...
Leziren netizens, explode!
PS: Yesterday, experts recommended using steroid medicine to suppress the cough. It took me a day of running to get rid of all the medicine.
