The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 43 0043, Release of "Dart Man"

Yunfeng enjoyed today's lunch particularly well.

The conditions offered by Haidiao Literature Network are indeed very tempting. You can get 30 million for free in three years, and the money will be transferred immediately after signing the contract.

To be honest, I would be lying if I weren't excited, but three years is neither long nor short. It's full of unknowns, and there are too many restrictions on signing people. It's better to have some freedom. I can write when I want to, and not write when I don't want to.

If you had chosen Haidiao Literature Network when you first published your book, then there is a high probability that it would be signed.

But at the moment, my article is written very well on Panda Chinese Website, and I have received omni-channel advertising promotion from the group, so I rejected it.

Bian Dong was very surprised.

Because of the contract given by the company, there is almost no room for upgrade.

Why?

And he was very determined, there was no room for negotiation.

I made a long-distance call to Alyssa and explained the situation to her. Alyssa asked me to go back to the company first.

After lunch, Yunfeng returned to the classroom and posted a message on Weibo to warm up for the upcoming release of "The Bodyguard".

The number of followers on Yunfeng Weibo has now grown to two million.

Within a few minutes after this post was published on Weibo, the number of likes, reposts and shares exceeded 10,000, and there were more than 1,000 comments.

[Yu Ya]: I cried. I thought the superstar had forgotten our fans on Weibo as he hadn’t updated for half a month.

【Qin Zhi Xian Yin】: Wow, is there a new short story? I am looking forward to it.

[Sword Cuts Away Love]: "One man, one child, one horse, one world", is this going to be a martial arts novel? Almighty King.

[Cai Xiaoyue]: I just want to know when the main text will be updated!
[Afang is in a bad mood]: If it's not scary, it's worth a look.

……

Immediately afterwards, Yunfeng also posted a single chapter on "Zhu Xian" to talk about it.

Soon, Wang Defa and Ma Siyu made a voice call on WeChat.

Wang Defa: "You madman, you are as fertile as a sow."

Ma Siyu: "Don't your hands feel sore from typing on the keyboard for so long?"

Yunfeng's mouth twitched and he cursed, "You are the sow. This book was also written in my spare time."

Wang Defa was about to cry, and said, "You academic tyrants, you think that writing an essay is a masterpiece. Do you want to let people live?"

Ma Siyu asked with a hint of doubt: "Crazy, is this short martial arts novel of yours just a test run? Are you planning to go head-on with Nan Yuan Li Meng?"

Yunfeng said speechlessly: "I already said that it was written in an essay before, what are you talking about? I won't write a long martial arts novel for the time being."

Ma Siyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. After all, I also like Nan Yuan Li Meng's "The Great Scholar". I don't want you two to confront each other head-on, otherwise the fans of both sides will be at odds with each other."

Wang Defa interrupted and said, "What are you two arguing about? If Nan Yuan Li Meng doesn't even have this much magnanimity, then she doesn't deserve to be on par with Crazy. Besides, even if Crazy really writes a long martial arts novel, it will bring traffic to the martial arts category, which is definitely a good thing."

Ma Siyu thought about it and it made sense. If one wanted to have good development, it was impossible for one company to dominate the market alone.

Yunfeng didn't care. If the Panda Chinese Website had a rule that one category could not have two popular authors writing, then it would be doomed to not go far, let alone surpass the Haidiao Literature Website.

Wang Defa suddenly asked, "By the way, Crazy, I heard that SM Entertainment in South Korea bought the copyrights of the web series and movie of Cat's Eye?"

He asked this, he must have seen or heard the news, Yunfeng couldn't hide it, so he could only say: "Yes, it happened not long ago."

Wang Defa asked curiously, "How much did it sell for?"

"I've told you, but don't tell anyone." Yunfeng gave him a shot of prevention before saying, "It was sold for 1.5 million."

"Wow." Wang Defa exclaimed, "It's only over 170,000 words, and it's sold for such a high price?"

Ma Siyu continued, "I think it's too low. With how popular Zhu Xian is right now, the value that the name "Crossover King" can create is far more than 1.5 million."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's about the same. After all, it's not Zhu Xian."

The most important thing is that at present, there is no trend of adapting online literature into animation, film and television dramas on Blue Star, so the price has not gone up.

Like in the previous life on Earth, in the early days of online novels being adapted into animation, film and television dramas, the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was sold for 1.5 million, but later when the trend became popular, the copyright of the same type of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was sold for 5 million.

Anyway, the copyright was only sold for eight years, so when it expires and is returned, it will probably just catch the crest of the wave.

Yunfeng’s plan was pretty good.

I didn’t chat with Wang Defa and Ma Siyu anymore because I had to go to class.

When Yunfeng returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, he buried his head in front of the computer.

First, the 20,000-word text of "Dart Man" was published. "Dart Man" was a Chinese comic that caused a sensation in the island countries in the previous life. It was featured in the news reports of the island countries' CCTV and NHK TV stations three times and was praised by the island countries' media as "a world-class Chinese animation masterpiece."

The film was written by Ichiji Kurihara, a senior manga editor of the island nation and former editor-in-chief of Futabasha (representative work "Crayon Shin-chan"), and praised by Motohiro Miki, former editor-in-chief of Shogakukan (representative work "Detective Conan"). It was also highly recommended by manga masters Rumiko Takahashi (representative work "Inuyasha"), Toru Fujisawa (representative work "GTO"), famous writer Ma Boyong, and Tian Xiaopeng, the chief director of "The Return of the Great Sage".

"The Dart Man" is also known as the light of Chinese animation.

But for some reason, it is very popular in the island country, but few people know it in the country.

Yunfeng got into it after seeing a recommendation from a UP host on Bilibili.

The vast desert, a man, a child, and a horse, are filled with the joy of revenge and resolution in the spirit of the martial arts world.

It makes people unable to stop watching.

----

He Jing is the screenwriter invited by Panda Films to adapt "The Dart Man" into a web drama and a movie.

She is a senior martial arts screenwriter in the industry, and her representative works include "The First Floor", "There is an Inn", "Sword Thirteen", etc.

Screenwriting is both a job and a hobby.

The characteristic of He Jing's adaptation is to be faithful to the original work, so that the already wonderful story can be best presented on the screen.

After reading the outline of "The Dart Man", she felt that this short martial arts novel was very unique.

The protagonist of the game, Dao Ma, is a knight.

Its core comes from Sima Qian's preface to "Records of the Grand Historian: Biographies of Knights-Errant": "Although the actions of today's knights-errant are not in line with justice, they will always keep their promises, fulfill their actions, and be sincere when they make promises."

Knights have always been a unique cultural symbol of China.

Beneath the complex appearance of the sword and horse is the symbol of freedom, unruliness and chivalry.

Just now, He Jing was notified that "The Bodyguard" had begun serialization.

On the one hand, because of work needs, and on the other hand, because she was curious about how the story unfolded, she opened the Weiquan App and searched for the Weiquan of the cross-border king.

[“The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.” - Sima Qian.

Outside the Great Wall, in the desert, in a simple inn, seven or eight strong men were resting, with swords on their waists or backs.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat rushed in.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said lazily: "My name is Dao Ma, it doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, the name is not important anyway, what you have done in the past, who you have killed, it doesn't matter, what's important is that I am here to help you."

The bald man in the lead raised his eyebrows and asked, "Help me?"

Dao Ma pulled out a wanted poster from his pocket and said calmly, "Did you see it? Your head is worth eight hundred coins, which is a lot of money! But don't worry, as long as you pay three times the price, I will pretend that I didn't see you."

Just as the bald man was about to speak, a childish voice came from behind Dao Ma: "Three times the price!"

Then, a little boy wearing a hood, about four or five years old, jumped out, raised his little hand, and said in a serious manner: "My name is Xiao Qi. It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, my name is very important!"

Dao Ma laughed, touched Xiao Qi's head and said, "Well, well said!"

...]

The article begins with a quote from Chapter 129 of Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian," "Biographies of Merchants": "The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit." This quote points out the theme.

Then the swordsman, inn, bandits and many other elements appeared one after another.

The first thing that came to He Jing's mind was her own adaptation of "There is an Inn", which also depicts the desert and the flashing of swords.

What is different from "There is a Guesthouse" is that in the depressing and closed environment, the appearance of Dao Ma and Xiao Qi, the combination of uncle and shota, bloody and cute, seems to be incompatible, but in fact it adds just the right amount of funny and humor, giving the plot a great sense of contrast.

“It’s very attractive.”

He Jing, who is nearly 50 years old, has not had such a strong desire to read a novel for many years except for work needs.

"Alone Better Together."

He Jing went to the study and asked her husband to come and see it together.

Xu Liang, a famous director in China, is known as the "genius martial arts director". He is the director invited by Panda Film and Television to shoot the web drama and movie "The Dart Man".

After listening to his wife's introduction, he also found it interesting, so he put down his work and decided to take a look.

that's it……

The two sat side by side on the sofa, staring at the tablet screen intently, afraid of missing a single word.
