Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

[Dragon and Snake 3 surpasses 14 billion yuan at the box office, breaking the domestic box office record.]

[The dragon and snake have surpassed Avatar to become the highest-ranking dragon and snake in China.]

[Chen Yang, screenwriter of Dragon and Snake Films, believes that Chinese stories can also be made into blockbuster films.]

Dragon and Snake 3 is still showing in theaters.

With Captain America's defeat, Dragon 3 has no strong opponents.

As for how high his box office performance will go, Chen Yang will not make any predictions.

No matter where it goes, Dragon and Snake 3 breaks all domestic box office records every day.

So.

China Film Group, the production company, held a celebration banquet in advance.

Chen Yang.

Undoubtedly, it is the biggest contributor to the success of DragonSnake 3.

"Chen Yang, I admire you, you know? I was really worried about the script you wrote back then."

Han Sanping excitedly held up his wine glass and approached Chen Yang: "However, this still proves your judgment. Come, let me toast you."

After Han Sanping.

Lead actor Xie Miao also excitedly toasted Chen Yang.

It can be said.

In this drama, Xie Miao is undoubtedly the most popular character.

Meanwhile, Xie Miao also became the highest-grossing actor in mainland China overnight because of the Dragon and Snake Trilogy.

Not to mention adding anything else.

The Dragon and Snake trilogy alone has already grossed over 30 billion yuan at the box office.

of course.

Besides them, the two assistant screenwriters of Dragon and Snake also toasted Chen Yang.

To be honest, they were still dissatisfied with Chen Yang personally serving as the screenwriter.

Although Chen Yang is the original author of Dragon and Snake.

However, the original author may not be suitable to be a screenwriter.

But Chen Yang's reputation is just that great.

Even if they are considered top screenwriters in the industry, they still have to give way to Chen Yang.

As a result, the box office success of Dragon and Snake 3 not only shocked outsiders, but also the two screenwriters.

"Teacher Chen Yang, I salute you."

"Teacher Chen Yang..."

it's here.

Everyone has good judgment.

Although Chen Yang is not particularly involved in the film and television industry.

But the explosion of Dragon Serpent 3.

Even if Chen Yang didn't want to work in the film and television industry, he would still be a big shot in it.

of course.

The celebration banquet wasn't just about eating and drinking.

After the celebration, Han Sanping also chatted with Chen Yang about the overseas release.

Yes.

Previously, most domestic films wouldn't even dare to dream of going overseas.

Even those films that were released to the public saw dismal box office returns.

But DragonSnake 3 is no ordinary game.

In terms of plot.

Its international perspective is so appealing that Han Sanping is eager to give it a try.

Chen Yang was naturally very much looking forward to it.

To know.

In Dragon and Snake 3, he set it up as a combination of super weapons, technology, and superpowers...

This setup is inherently very advantageous for going global.

If they really put in a good amount of publicity abroad, they might just be able to turn things around spectacularly.

However, apart from overseas releases.

Han Sanping also pulled Chen Yang aside and brought up the copyright issue of Dragon Snake 4.

"Cough cough... I regret it now. I should have bought back the rights to Dragon and Snake 4 as well."

Yes.

Chen Yang did not sell Dragon Snake 4 at the time.

In addition, Han Sanping didn't particularly want to buy anything.

The main problem is that they are too expensive.

The pressure on China Film Group was immense.

After all, the copyrights for Dragon and Snake 2 and Dragon and Snake 3 both exceeded 1 million.

Add Dragon Snake 4.

That would be around 1.5 million RMB.

Although it seems so now.

Let alone 1.5 million.

The copyright fee of 2 million is worthwhile.

But back then, who knew that Dragon and Snake would become so popular?

Many people might not have predicted that Dragon and Snake would be made into three movies.

Just a pity.

At the time, Han Sanping wanted to save money.

it's good now.

Han Sanping hasn't even discussed the specific price yet, but he already knows it will be astronomical.

"Hehe, Mr. Han, you can buy now. I haven't sold my Dragon Snake 4 yet."

"Good lad, you've been waiting for me all this time."

"Of course, no other company besides China Film Group has that kind of capability."

"You're ruthless, kid. But I admire you. Okay, I need to have a meeting when we get back. Your copyright is just too expensive. If we offer too low a price, you might just sell it to someone else."

"Haha, Mr. Han, we'll be waiting for you."

Don't say it yet.

Quite a few people did inquire about prices from Chen Yang from time to time.

no way.

Given the current popularity of Dragon Snake 3.

You can absolutely look forward to Dragon and Snake 4.
At the same time, Dragon and Snake 3 also opened up a new horizon, expanding the entire storyline to such a large scale.

He is not limited to traditional Chinese martial arts, nor is he confined to domestic concepts.

Instead, it has developed into a major international IP.

Even if such an IP is more expensive...

These giants all want to compete.

Although there are risks involved.

The potential profits would be enormous.

If we can successfully promote the Dragon and Snake IP to the world... it will be a major earthquake for the entire domestic film industry.

……

Chen Yang was invited once again for the latest episode of the Chinese Character Dictation Competition.

However, there was a copyright conference on Qidian's side, which he did not attend.

But for the Chinese character dictation competition.

Chen Yang, however, thought of a song that perfectly matched the "Chinese Character Dictation Competition".

The song is called "Rare Characters Song".

Chen Yang recorded the song and sent it to CCTV.

On this side of the starting point.

Chen Yang and a group of authors met once again at Qidian headquarters.

We're all old acquaintances.

Upon meeting, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

However, almost everyone was surrounding Chen Yang.

This is normal.

Chen Yang is the number one online novelist.

Whether inside or outside the industry, and regardless of performance or honors, they are number one.

No one can reach Chen Yang's level.

Even among the Five Whites of the Central Plains, Chen Yang is a level above the other four.

The recent explosion of Dragon Snake 3 has once again made many authors in the industry feel their eyes light up.

"I never expected Dragon Snake 3 to be so popular."

"Yes, we thought it was just a small IP at the time, but we didn't expect it to become such a big deal."

"This is practically the next Marvel!"

The authors were filled with admiration.

However, not all authors were excited at the copyright conference.

For example, Tang San has been feeling rather depressed lately.

"Instead of praising the gods, let me share some secrets of IP development."

night.

Chen Yang, Tang San, Tomato, and Chen Dong were chatting.

Tang San looked somewhat troubled and said something. Chen Yang replied, "What's going on, Tang San? I saw that your 'Douluo Continent' has recently been adapted into an anime. That's great!"

Tang San shook his head: "Stop talking, we've already fallen."

"Oh, did it fall?"

Chen Yang was taken aback.

He didn't pay particular attention to the Douluo Continent anime.

According to past lives.

Douluo Continent should be a huge hit.

However, this is only the beginning, and everything is still unknown.

Who knows, it might become a viral sensation someday.

Chen Yang then said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. When it becomes popular, you'll have to treat us."

"I wanted to treat everyone. But I heard that, damn it, Xuanji might want to cut it in half."

Xuanji is the animation production company that created Douluo Continent. Their previous representative work was Qin's Moon.

"Xuanji couldn't possibly be that short-sighted."

"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but anyway, Douluo Continent isn't making much of a splash right now. I do have an idea, though..."

Tang San hesitated for a moment.

Chen Yang said, "Tang San, how many years have you known each other? Tell me."

"I just have a request that I'm not asked, but I feel bad about it."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Look at all the years we've been writing, don't act like traditional authors. Just say what you want, whether you want me to help or I want you to help. And whether I can help or not... don't beat around the bush."

"If you don't want to be arrogant or presumptuous, then I'll just say it directly."

After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "Right now, the most popular anime in China are your Battle Through the Heavens and Mortals... but Mortals is only just starting out. Battle Through the Heavens is still more popular, so I was thinking, could you create a brand new instance in Battle Through the Heavens, just like in the novel, where Tang San can meet in this instance?"

The protagonist of Douluo Continent is named Tang San.

This is Tang San using his pen name as the protagonist.

Tang San said.

Everyone looked at Chen Yang.

Everyone knows.

Tang San wanted to ask Chen Yang for help to leverage the popularity of Doupo to boost Douluo Continent.

Ok.

This is different from my previous life.

In the past, the Douluo Continent anime was undoubtedly much more popular than the Battle Through the Heavens anime.

Douluo Continent can even be considered the number one domestic animation.

However, due to Chen Yang's fame, he has taken the lead in the field of online literature in terms of IP copyright.

Of course, Chen Yang didn't do any special publicity.

But that identity and fame are what they are.

The number one online writer.

That's the person everyone is thinking of.

He will also be the one to cooperate.

The largest amount of funding will also come from Chen Yang.

This is like the Dragon Snake IP.

Even if other people wrote a series like Dragon and Snake, they might not become famous.

Because some people might not want to film dragons and snakes.

Or someone might just want to make a film, but the investment wouldn't be much.

All of this will ultimately result in the same IP address exhibiting completely different effects.

Douluo Continent is great.

But at this moment, he was being suppressed by Chen Yang.

Furthermore, Xuanji (the animation studio behind the Douluo Continent studio) may not necessarily think the Douluo IP is good, so they are unlikely to invest more resources in it.

Without investing more resources, this anime is even less likely to become a hit.

of course.

Tang San also knew that this was a huge favor, as it involved enormous commercial interests.

He then added, "Bu Yang Shen, I know this favor is a bit much. However, if you agree, I can grant you a free, permanent license to use all the characters in Dou Lu."

Done.

Tang San was also feeling uneasy.

Chen Yang considered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Third Young Master, if I use your character permanently for free, I'll be in a much better position. It's like adding a series of heroes from Douluo Continent to my future web novel universe. But... because of the conflict of interest, I can't authorize you to use my character."

"How could I possibly ask for that? You're the one helping me out."

Tang San immediately shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm embarrassed to say it, but... I really don't have any other choice."

"understand."

Chen Yang nodded.

He neither agreed nor disagreed for the time being.

I took a small sip of tea.

Chen Yang was considering the commercial interests of Douluo Continent.

Although we are friends.

But even the best of friends need to think things through when such a large stake is involved.

Third Young Master, Tomato, and Chen Dong remained silent.

They didn't dare to disturb Chen Yang.

After a while.

Chen Yang said, "Third Young Master, your idea is good. How about this, let's have a bigger collaboration. You don't need to license it to me for free. You can entrust me with the operation of your Douluo IP, and I'll help you sell it. As for how much we can earn, we can discuss a profit-sharing arrangement later. However, there is one condition: if you want to sell it at a high price, my name must be listed on all the copyrights for the IP adaptation. Actually, I don't want to be credited, but it's mainly because without my name, it's impossible to sell it at a high price."

This illustrates the importance of fame.

Same IP address.

Others can only sell it for 1000 million.

But if it had Chen Yang's name on it, it could sell for 5000 million.

However, Chen Yang can't possibly own all the copyrights.

If you acquire a bunch of copyrights and they don't become popular, you'll only lose face.

But Douluo Continent is definitely a super IP in the future.

"I'm OK."

Tang San thought for a moment and was about to agree.

Chen Yang then said in advance, "Don't agree so quickly. There are pros and cons. On the one hand, it might sell for more money. At the same time, I will use my reputation to help promote your work. But on the other hand, because it will be under my name, it will limit your future IP copyright development. It will be much more difficult for you to build your own brand in the future than it is now."

However, I think this is a win-win situation. Because your protagonist's name is Tang San. But regardless, I still hope you'll seriously consider it. Also, Tomato and Dong Ge are here, as witnesses. As for not wanting to cooperate in the future, I think that's fine too; a clause regarding breach of contract will benefit everyone.”

"OK, I'll get back to you in three days."

"it is good."

……

"Brother Dong, I didn't expect Bu Yangshen to pull off an even bigger move."

"Hehe, their vision is not comparable to ours. We are still thinking about how to write, but Bu Yangshen has already set his sights on the world."

"Hmm, his online novel universe is terrifying. Do you think Tang San will agree?"

"You said that Chen Buyangshen's online novel universe is terrifying. Let alone Tang San, I'm tempted too. Besides, Chen Buyangshen also said that it depends on how you think about it. If you cooperate with Chen Buyangshen, he will maximize the use of your copyright. But... it may reduce your brand awareness."

"That's true. If it were me, I would just want to write books quietly. All that stuff about operations and IP is too much trouble. I would be happy to have someone do it for me. Plus, I can sell them for a high price."

"Hahaha……"

The two chatted from time to time.

the next day.

Qidian continues to hold copyright conferences.

Chen Yang took the stage to share some of his thoughts on the industry and his outlook for the future.

A week later.

Tang San officially replied to Chen Yang.

Subsequently, Chen Yang and Tang San signed an IP operation contract.

This new type of cooperation was also unexpected by the industry.

"Third Young Master, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Pleasant to work with."

The two signed their names, and Chen Yang shook hands with Tang San.

However, Chen Yang did not immediately assign Tang San a role in Battle Through the Heavens.

Although he controls almost all of his IP copyrights himself.

But it also depends on the timing.

More importantly...

Even if we want to add other characters and create synergy, it can't be too simplistic or crude.

Just like adding characters like Han Li, Gu Yue, and Fang Yuan to "The Great Thousand Worlds".

This also led to a battle of geniuses from three thousand continents.

To add Tang San from Douluo Continent to the story, we need to find a suitable opportunity.

to this end.

Chen Yang opened Word; he was preparing to write a prequel to Douluo Continent.

The story of "Douluo Continent Prequel" basically revolves around how Tang San, as an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, secretly learned the Tang Sect's highest secret technique, the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, as well as the Xuan Tian Treasure Record through his own efforts.

Simultaneously.

Chen Yang also recalled the theme song of the anime "Douluo Continent" from his previous life.

It's also the most exciting battle song in Douluo Continent.

Breaking Free from the Cocoon. (End of Chapter)
