Chapter 556 0553 [Join Mythology, and Give You a Miracle! ] (Three More!)

Seeing Sima Ling approaching suddenly, Gu Long, Shangguan Ding and Gao Yong were a little embarrassed.

On the contrary, Shi Zhijian didn't care, and continued to eat buns.

Sima Ling, Wo Longsheng and Zhuge Qingyun sat down opposite Gu Long and the others.

Wo Longsheng is in charge of ordering food.

Sima Ling glanced at Shi Zhijian and said, "Mr. Shi, I offended you slightly yesterday, please forgive me!"

Shi Zhijian hurriedly put down the steamed stuffed bun he was holding, and clasped his fists together and said, "You're welcome! You're welcome! These steamed stuffed buns are fresh, can you eat one?"

Sima Ling was not too polite, so he really squeezed a bun and ate it, and said to Shi Zhijian: "We who make a living by selling calligraphy have no skills, and we often let people shake us! Go back to sleep last night." If the manuscript fee and copyright fee do not increase, we will be the writers under the banner for the rest of our lives!"

"Yeah, now our manuscript fees seem to be a lot. In fact, most of them are deliberately hyped up by those publishers in order to attract more writers to invest in their companies and sign contracts with them. In fact, the copyright fees that really make money are not Those unscrupulous publishers robbed more than half of it!" Wo Longsheng said beside him.

"Like my last novel "Golden Pen Touching the Dragon", I only got 40,000 yuan in copyright fees! And those publishers sold the copyright of my book to the TV station, earning a full 200,000 yuan!"

Shi Zhijian bit the bun and smiled, "The price he gave is low, so you don't have to sell it!"

"Mr. Shi, you are not in the literary world, so there are some things you don't know very well." Sima Ling tore open the bun, threw it into his mouth, and said.

"Now the publishing industry in Taiwan is basically monopolized by the four major publishing houses. Crown, Yuanjing, Yuanliu and Lianjing, the four of them control most of the writers in our martial arts world. If we don't sell the copyright to them, and If they sign a contract with their publishing house, they can only deal with some small publishing houses.”

"Those small publishing houses are not strong enough, and they basically live off the crumbs of the big four publishing houses. How dare they offend them. Even if we sign a contract with them, the manuscript fee is the lowest. Even if the copyright is in hand, it is not easy to sell. Unless you go to Hong Kong like Lao Xiong, you can cooperate with the film company there and sell the copyright directly!"

Shi Zhijian looked at Gu Long, who nodded at him.

Only then did Shi Zhijian understand why Gu Long took the initiative to go to Hong Kong and was willing to write novels for "Ming Pao". One of the reasons was to make money, and one of the reasons was to avoid the exploitation and oppression of the four major newspapers.

"Old Xiong is lucky, he can come and go freely on both sides, but other writers are not so lucky!" Sima Ling's tone was full of emotion.

Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "I'm sorry everyone, I understand some of your situation now, but I'm curious, what's the use of you telling me these things?"

Sima Ling looked at Wolongsheng, and Wolongsheng looked at Zhuge Qingyun.

Zhuge Qingyun looked directly at Gu Long, "Old Xiong, we fight back and forth in the literary world, it's all a battle of spirits! Now everyone is in the same boat, look..."

Gu Long understood, and said to Shi Zhijian very loyally: "A Jian, I bragged yesterday, saying that you own Golden Harvest Film Company under your banner, plan to shoot many martial arts films in the future, and bought my "Fragrant Sword Rain" ", "Chu Liuxiang" and many other novel copyrights, so they also hope to ask you to help..."

Only then did Shi Zhijian understand, no wonder Sima Ling and his gang had weird eyes when they saw him, it turned out that they regarded him as the "God of Wealth".

"Heroes, to be honest, I'm really interested in your novel copyrights, but I'm not a billionaire, I can buy all of your novel copyrights!" Shi Zhijian said with a twist of his brain.

"The copyrights I bought can basically be made into movies. Basically, the few films like Old Bear can be put on the big screen."

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhijian looked at Sima Ling: "Mr. Wu, I have also read your novels, such as "The King of Swords" and "Raising the Dragon with Slender Hands". They are all very well written!"

Shi Zhijian gave Sima Ling a thumbs up: "But it's difficult to adapt it into a movie. Maybe it's worth watching if it's adapted into a TV series."

In fact, Shi Zhijian had never seen a movie or TV series adapted from Sima Ling's martial arts novel in his last life.

"So like most of your novels, even if you sell the copyright, the target is still the publisher, take the paper media route, not make a movie!"

When Shi Zhijian's words fell to the ground, Sima Ling's face was already ugly.

One must know that he became famous with a weak crown, and he is also one of the best existences in the martial arts world of Baodao. Back then when Gu Long was not popular, he was already popular all over the country.

But now Shi Zhijian pointed it out directly, saying that his novel could only be printed into a book, but not made into a movie. How could he feel so embarrassed?

In fact, Zhuge Qingyun is equally embarrassing, because his novels are basically difficult to make into TV or movies.

In contrast, Gu Long and Wo Longsheng are big bosses, all TV and movies are arranged, and they are well received and well received!

"Mr. Shi, I respect you so much, that's why I sit down and talk with you so sincerely!" Sima Ling held back his anger and said, "According to your words, wouldn't I and others have to suffer from those publishers in this life? exploitation and oppression?"

Zhuge Qingyun continued: "Yes, what you said just now is not equivalent to saying nothing, let us continue to cooperate with the four major publishers?"

Shi Zhijian smiled, took out a cigarette and bit it on his mouth, took out the lighter and clicked it on, took a puff, exhaled a puff of smoke, then raised his head and said slowly: "When did I tell you to continue to cooperate with those publishers?" ? Since you know that their hearts are black, then run away!"

Sima Ling and the others looked at each other, not understanding what Shi Zhijian meant.

Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, and puffed out a puff of smoke at everyone: "Aren't you rich? Each of you has a manuscript fee of more than 10,000 yuan! Then organize and set up a publishing company that belongs to you! At that time, each of you will be the boss, and you will exploit everyone. Ghost?!"

Sima Ling and the others were completely stunned.

Even Gu Long's eyes widened, looking at Shi Zhijian in disbelief.

Form a publishing company of their own? !

is it possible?

As if he understood their voices, Shi Zhijian held a cigarette between his hands, flicked the ash in the ashtray lightly, leaned back in his chair and said, "Nothing is impossible in this world! Nothing is impossible in this world, as long as there is a heart!"

"Of course, if you're afraid that things won't go well, I can help you! Our Shinhwa Company strives to create an entertainment brand. In addition to cooperating with Golden Harvest Films, we also cooperate with Shueisha in Dongying—we can even fix movies and comics. , let alone your martial arts novels! How about it, think about it?!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, pointed at Sima Ling and the others with a cigarette, and said in a seductive tone: "Join Shinhwa and give you a miracle!"
