Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 154, "The Vast World," is now complete. A new book is about to be published.

"Wang Yu, this top student from Aurora University is really afraid that our TV station won't pay him."

“Okay, call him over in a few days, and I’ll talk to him in person.”

Chen Yang has finished writing the program proposal for Shanghai TV.

Wang Yu handed the plan over to the office director.

When Liu Jingming, the office director, took a look, he thought the plan was good.

But then I felt like something was missing.

Wang Yu said somewhat embarrassedly that the most interesting part was that Chen Yang deliberately didn't write it.

This said.

Liu Jingming chuckled: "They have a pretty strong sense of protection."

However, Liu Jingming was not surprised.

Television stations have faced numerous lawsuits over the years.

A few days later.

Wang Yu and Chen Yang arrived at Shanghai TV Station.

After Chen Yang officially signed the agreement with Shanghai TV, he finally revealed the most eye-catching aspects of the show.

Creativity is actually very simple.

The most classic competition format in this show is that 11 people participate.

One of them is a challenger.

If successful.

The challenger is eliminated, and the challenger continues to challenge until only one challenger remains.

Then.

The challenger has the chance to win a grand prize from the show.

If the challenger fails, they will fall off the stage.

Yes.

The show is called "One Against All".

In order to make the program more exciting and attractive.

Chen Yang offered a hefty reward of 100 million yuan as a prize for the champion.

of course.

One million is a lot.

But for a television station's budget, 100 million is a very small expense.

But if given to an ordinary individual, or as a reward.

Then 100 million is a very large number.

Such gimmicks are also very attractive in terms of dissemination.

"Chen Yang is indeed a top student from Aurora University. Would you be interested in working for our TV station after graduation?"

After Liu Jingming and Chen Yang finished signing the contract, he said with a smile.

Chen Yang said, "I majored in Chinese Language and Literature."

Liu Jingming said, "It's a perfect match for their major. Our TV station is in dire need of someone with a degree in Chinese language and literature."

Since Liu Jingming had said so, Chen Yang did not refuse him outright.

Who knows about this kind of thing?

It's uncertain whether Liu Jingming will still be at this TV station in a few years.

However, when Wang Yu was taking Chen Yang home, she said, "Heh, it would be great if you really joined our TV station after graduation."

"That's true. But if it gets into the TV station, how am I supposed to make money from this program?"

"Haha, all you see is money."

"It's not just about money. I also really like beautiful women."

"is it?"

"Of course."

"Then I'll stay at your house today, are you in the mood?"

"Fine, who's afraid of who?"

"You actually took it seriously? Forget it, I wouldn't dare to date a young girl."

"Alas, what a pity, the night is so long."

Chen Yang sighed.

……

"Teacher Luo, here is 100 million. Could you help me purchase some more electronic film and television copyrights?"

Chen Yang deposited the 100 million yuan he earned from signing the contract with Shanghai TV into a dedicated account.

One million is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

Chen Yang, however, felt that this program proposal could be more valuable.

But the first time, you can only sacrifice some of the initial benefits.

However, Chen Yang also left himself a way out.

He signed a two-year contract with the show.

If, two years from now, the show's ratings reach or exceed the contractually agreed level...

Then.

Two years later, the two parties will agree on the specific licensing fees.

Although Luo Xiang was in charge of criminal cases, he did not refuse to deal with such trivial copyright issues.

"Ok."

Luo Xiang nodded: "President Chen, however, the market price has risen slightly, so the quantity we need to buy this time may be much smaller than before."

"It's okay, keep buying. I'll transfer you another sum later if my cash flow improves."

Chen Yang nodded.

Recently, he has also noticed this market trend, and other people have followed suit by purchasing electronic film and television copyrights.

However, at present, the impact is not very significant.

The main buyers are retail investors or individuals.

They didn't invest a very large amount of money.

So the overall market did see some growth, but not much.

Chen Yang had actually considered taking out a loan to acquire electronic film and television copyrights.

Thinking about it later.

Forget it.

Although Chen Yang saw the direction in this area, there were also risks involved.

He doesn't make a living from these things.

Stock up as much as you can.

If we simply can't stockpile more and can't compete with those big players, there's nothing we can do about it.

Does Chen Yang still think he can punch Ma Huateng and kick Lei Jun?

He would be content just to have some soup here.

However, when it comes to funds...

Chen Yang's luck with unexpected wealth has been really good lately.

After signing a contract with Shanghai TV on the left.

On the right, Takaoka received royalties for 20 copies of the first edition of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

A total of 40.

There's a second edition, which hasn't sold out yet.

If it's sold out, it should bring in 100 million.

But that’s not the end.

At the end of December, the chief editor of Qidian called Chen Yang, saying that a film and television company had taken a liking to his Daqian World.

This is huge news.

To know.

Previously, all the copyrights to Chen Yang's "The Vast World" had been sold.

Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Games, Comics.

However, this does not apply to film and television, and also includes animation copyrights.

However, there are also issues regarding pricing with Shanghai TV station.

This is because it's the first time this company has sold film and television rights.

More importantly.

This is still related to online novel and film/television copyrights.

Although there are precedents for online novels being adapted into film and television works, not many works have been adapted into film and television dramas.

Even if it's just "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Although the film and television rights to all of them were sold, none of them were actually made into movies.

Moreover, Chen Yang cannot be used as a reference point for them.

After all, both authors were somewhat confused at the time and didn't know the price of their IP rights, so they sold them for a relatively low price.

Chen Yang would be willing to make a significant improvement, but there are very few people like Chen Tianqiao.

Moreover, Chen Tianqiao's purchase of Chen Yang's game copyright for 500 million yuan was not entirely due to this work.

finally.

After discussions among the three parties, Chen Yang sold the film and television rights for 500 million yuan.

However, when discussing the specific licensing details, Chen Yang separately mentioned the animation copyright.

In other words, the copyright of anime is not included.

Chen Yang wanted to retain the copyright and assess its value in the future. At the same time, Chen Yang placed even greater emphasis on animation copyrights.

Fantasy novels like his.

The best way to express this is indeed through animation.

Moreover, the influence of animation in the future will be no less than that of film and television.

As for film and television copyrights, Chen Yang also set a time limit of 10 years.

It will be taken back after 10 years.

As for why it's 10 years...

too little time.

Film and television companies are unwilling.

After all, it usually takes two or three years for a film to go from planning to completion.

Some lasted five or six years.

Some of them even bought the copyrights but never actually filmed them.

However, Chen Yang was unwilling to grant too much authorization.

It's 07 now.

Ten years later is 17 years.

Over the past 10 years, the value of online literature IPs has not increased significantly.

Seventeen years later, however, the price has risen accordingly.

Ultimately, the two parties finalized the agreement, and the film and television rights for "The Great World" were successfully granted.

……

This film and television copyright fee is 500 million.

Chen Yang was divided into two parts.

Of that, 200 million was reinvested in purchasing electronic film and television copyrights.

300 million.

Chen Yang decided to put it aside for now.

The year 08 is almost here.

A global financial crisis is imminent.

Chen Yang wasn't a financial expert, and he didn't know how to short sell or anything like that.

But he knew.

This financial crisis will end at the end of 08.

At that time, all kinds of assets fell to very low prices.

Whether it's the stock market or real estate.

With this sum of money, it's estimated that buying at the bottom will yield a significant profit.

……

In a blink of an eye.

It arrived in January 2008.

New Year's Eve.

Chen Yang did two things.

One was the release of the second theme song for "You Are the Apple of My Eye," titled "The Wind Rises."

[Walking and stopping along the way, following the traces of the boy's drifting journey.]

I hesitated for a moment before stepping out of the station.

Compared to the first song.

The song "The Wind Rises".

Chen Yang posted the sheet music online for less than an hour.

The song "The Wind Rises" has already appeared on major internet platforms and music platforms.

It doesn't matter who sings the song.

Because so many people have joined.

Just like Chen Yang's previously publicly released "A Young China's Manifesto".

This song, "The Wind Rises," became even more popular than "The Young China."

"I've discovered that the author of 'You Are the Apple of My Eye' is a real talent; he always releases a song whenever he's trying to create hype."

"Yes, and anyone can sing his songs without having to buy the copyright from him."

"This is a brilliant move. Look at the sales of 'Those Years,' it's made far more money than just selling one song."

Some netizens who follow Chen Yang have commented on this from time to time.

However, Chen Yang wasn't particularly interested in any of these things.

He writes novels on Tianya.

Initially, it was to complete the teacher's assignment; later, it was to make money through publication.

Songwriting isn't his main job; he's doing it to make money.

Chen Yang's favorite genre remains online novels.

After all, he wrote it for so many years in his previous life.

This lifetime offers such a wonderful opportunity.

just.

All good things come to an end.

In January 2008, Chen Yang wrote a notice in the chapter notes: "Just letting the brothers know that 'The Great World' has entered its later stages and may be completed in January."

As soon as the news came out.

The entire industry was in an uproar.

"Is the Great Thousand Worlds finished?"

"My God, this is the climax of the story."

"Has Bu Yang Shen gone mad?"

same.

Chen Yang's friends were also puzzled.

"Brother, are you really going to turn down money?"

This was sent by my sister who's always sleeping.

“Don’t praise the gods, if you don’t want to write, write for me. If I had your achievements, I could write 1000 million words.”

This was written by the author at age thirty-two.

Dangdang also sent a message: "Brother Buyang, I really want to strangle you. It's so difficult for me to sign a book, but you take such good results for granted, saying you'll just stop after finishing a book. How can you face me like this?"

of course.

The most direct impact is on the starting point.

"Don't exaggerate, are you going to finish this book by the end of the month?"

"Don't be arrogant, could you write for a few more months? You know, your current performance is at its peak."

"Don't overemphasize... Is there a problem with the concept? Let's work together to solve it."

Ok.

To finish this story.

Qidian is the one who least wants "The Great World" to end.

"Thank you everyone, I don't want to finish this book either. But the outline is set here, so it's time to end it."

Chen Yang replied to everyone one by one.

He didn't actually want to finish the book.

If it was a past life.

Chen Yang wished he could write 1000 million words, just like Dangdang said.

But things are different now than before.

Firstly, Chen Yang had already finished writing the outline.

Chen Yang has already written the ending.

The protagonist, Ye Chen, did not stand at the final peak.

After emerging from the instance with a group of geniuses, he set off for even more distant places.

This ending was decided upon by Chen Yang after careful consideration.

Secondly.

The copyrights to this book have been sold.

Even if I write it later.

The money we'll make in the future will only come from electronic subscriptions.

Ok.

Yes.

Chen Yang didn't just impulsively finish the story.

To go further.

To put it bluntly, if you want to make more money...

To further increase his fame.

Then.

Starting a new book is the best way.

Chen Yang has already planned his new book, which will be his third work since he came to this world.

==
P.S.: What books did you guys think were copied from... uh, referenced in the third book?
