Chapter 28: I am the gold master father (seeking follow-up reading)
Chairman Liao was overjoyed and praised: "Wusheng is atmospheric!"
This is the truth. The price given by Wu Feng has exceeded the price of newcomers.
Carefully calculate, 500,000 words of "Zhu Jia" can get more than 40,000, 800,000 words of "Ju Meng" can get 120,000 manuscript fees, and 1 million words of "Guo Jie" can get up to 150,000, all in Hong Kong dollars.
In the Mainland at the moment, it definitely belongs to the sky-high manuscript fee, which will definitely cause a sensation.
At this time in the Mainland, the ten-thousand-yuan household is still dazzling. The manuscript fee of five novels can be worth 36 ten-thousand-yuan households. Who is not jealous?
"It can only be said that it is mutually beneficial!"
Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled: "The 'Mong Kok News' under my hand needs a sufficient number of boutique novels. It just so happens that the writing style and writing strength of Mainland writers are enough, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
"Exactly, only mutually beneficial can last long!"
Chairman Liao laughed, and his mood was quite good: "Wusheng is indeed a young talent, and his flexible brain and money-making ability are also quite amazing!"
Since they want to cooperate, he naturally investigated Wu Feng's situation privately, and the result was naturally quite surprised.
Especially Wu Feng's background and experience, Chairman Liao can be sure that he is toward the Mainland.
Especially Wu Feng's recent operation of selling trench coats made Chairman Liao open his eyes.
"Oh, Liao Lao also knows that I made a small profit recently!"
Wu Feng smiled and said: "Thanks to the blessing of Xiao Ma Ge in 'A Better Tomorrow', it's a pity that the time is still too short, otherwise I could earn more. Xiao Ma Ge's sunglasses must be popular!"
As for how much he earned, he wouldn't say, and Chairman Liao wouldn't ask.
"I am actually curious, I didn't expect the periphery of a popular movie to be so profitable!"
Chairman Liao sighed: "It's a pity that the films produced by Yindu are mostly well-received but not popular!"
Wu Feng smiled slightly. When he didn't know the awkward situation of Yindu Institution, there was no need to say it.
"Liao Lao, in fact, I think it is very suitable to adapt those two folk novels into movies!"
His heart moved, and he suggested: "There is horror and suspense, and the production cost should not be high. It is not difficult to return to the box office and make a small profit. The key is that such movies are very suitable for the video tape market!"
Of course, he had words that he didn't say.
According to the entertainment novel routine he had read before, such movies have some markets abroad.
If you participate in foreign film festivals, it is not impossible to have some achievements. Especially that kind of niche film festival, as long as it is filmed well, it is not difficult to sell the copyright.
"Oh, how did Wusheng have such an idea?"
Chairman Liao became interested and recalled the content of the two folk novels carefully. It had to be said that it was indeed very suitable for filming into low-cost horror suspense movies.
"Isn't this wanting to expand the influence of 'Mong Kok News'!"
Wu Feng said directly: "If there is a movie to cooperate with the novel serialization, the influence will not be mentioned!"
"In fact, I think the serialization of those two folk novels is not the best choice. Publishing them as books and reading them carefully can exert their own charm, and can also expand influence!"
"If possible, I also want to turn the novel story into a comic, broadcast it on the radio, and even make it into a stage play!"
"Liao Lao, if you can do these, the influence and potential of these two folk novels can also be exerted to the maximum, and it is estimated that the profitability is not to be underestimated!"
Wu Feng talked eloquently, and slowly told the "Big Entertainment" promotion model about the two folk novels, but he didn't find that Chairman Liao opposite had already opened his mouth and was full of surprise.
"Wusheng, how did you think of these?"
After Wu Feng drank tea to moisten his throat, Chairman Liao asked curiously: "If you really do what you say, the influence will not be small!"
"Haha, I know Liao Lao's real thoughts, just say it!"
Wu Feng smiled lightly: "Since arriving in Hong Kong, except for the period of initial depression, I have basically read a lot of newspapers and magazines in my spare time to absorb various information and improve my self-cognition!"
Is his "Big Entertainment" idea ahead of time? It is definitely ahead of time in Hong Kong at the moment.
But it is not ahead of time in the United States. There has long been a quite perfect movie peripheral development system there. In many cases, the movie box office is not as good as the peripheral income.
The most representative example is Disney!
Industrialization is not just the simplification of the movie production process, but also the all-round development of the periphery.
In fact, the classic horizontal gunfight game "Contra" that may be launched soon was developed based on the movie "First Blood".
As a professional web novel writer in later generations, he received a wide range of information, and there were many ideas in his brain. As for the specific execution, hehe, it is considered a loser who has no money and loves to think blindly.
But he has money now, he is an out-and-out gold master father!
As long as he puts forward ideas and is willing to throw money, there are plenty of people willing to help run and execute.
"Amazing, amazing, after listening to Wusheng's long talk, I am moved!"
Chairman Liao said sincerely: "It really doesn't cost much money to adapt those two folk novels into movies. But if you want to fully spread it, Yindu Institution alone is not enough!"
"I can invest in making movies, and I can also pay for adapting novels into comic books!"
Wu Feng said heroically: "However, Yindu Institution must give me a detailed plan. I will arrange for the novel to be serialized in the newspaper according to the plan to form a linkage effect!"
"Not only the two folk novels, but the three martial arts novels must also be made into color comic books!"
"I know there are many art units in the Mainland that can do these well, so please ask Liao Lao to help pull the strings. Money is not a problem, the key is that the speed must be fast!"
"Oh, there is one more point I must emphasize. The filmmakers here in Hong Kong have a very bad habit, that is, most of the movies filmed don't have a complete script, just like a joke!"
"I don't care about others, but the movies I invest in must have a complete script and storyboard, at least let me know what the movie is like!"
When Chairman Liao personally sent Wu Feng out of the door, his brain was still dizzy.
I didn't expect Wu Feng to not only take down all five novels, but also plan to invest in filming two of the folk stories, and the requirements were particularly strict.
Chairman Liao was not dissatisfied, but quite happy.
Strict is good, strict means that Wu Feng really intends to invest in filming, not empty words.
In addition, there is the task of creating comic books for the five novels, which also needs to be contacted with art units in the Mainland as soon as possible, which is also a source of foreign exchange income.
When the "Mong Kok News" office sent someone over in the afternoon, signed the agreement to buy the copyright of the novel, and paid the money, Yindu Institution operated rapidly.
Influenced by the overall fast-paced atmosphere of Hong Kong, the actions and efficiency of Yindu Institution were not slow.
Soon, the money was hit to the unit where the novel author was located, and the authors of the two folk novels were hired as movie screenwriters, and at the same time, art units that could produce color comic books were contacted.
Federations of Literary and Art Circles in various provinces in the Mainland, and writers who were watching, were shocked when they heard the news!
