In a private restaurant outside the third ring road of the imperial capital, Yang Hao and Mr. Liu were toasting each other and having a pleasant conversation.

"Brother, you are really generous this time. You have launched 6 projects at once. Almost all of them are costume dramas and fairy tales. Such dramas cost a lot of money."

After having a good meal and a good drink, the conversation was lively, and Mr. Liu finally turned the conversation to the main topic.

"Mr. Liu, no matter how big your budget is, it can't compare to Penguin Video. It costs billions of dollars every year to purchase dramas. We, the film and television producers, also rely on your support to make a living."

"Hey! We are just cooperating with each other for mutual benefit. It's too much to say that you are giving me a meal."

If it was just an ordinary film and television producer who complimented him by offering him a job, Mr. Liu would have smiled and nodded in agreement. But now he was facing Yang Hao, the No. 1 film and television producer in the industry. Even if he was the president of Penguin Video, he didn't dare to act so arrogant.

"Mr. Yang, do you have project plans for your six major projects?" After Mr. Liu and Yang Hao clinked glasses of wine, they took the opportunity to talk.

“There is definitely a project book.”

"Here, this is it." As he spoke, Yang Hao took out the project book that he had prepared long ago from the briefcase beside him.

The so-called project book is the puls version of the script. Based on the script, it adds who will play the main actors, who is the director, who is the producer, expected profits, etc.

Mr. Liu picked up the project book and read it carefully page by page.

The heroine of "Legend of Fuyao" is Da Mimi, the heroine of "Ashes of Love" is Yang Zi, the heroine of "Princess Agents" is Zhao Liying, the heroine of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is Dilireba, and the heroine of "The Son-in-Law" is Liu Shishi...

Mr. Liu read very quickly. He only spent half an hour reading the six project plans and then put the project plans down.

Yang Hao noticed that the other party skipped the script and focused on the star lineup of the TV series and whether it was an IP drama.

"Mr. Liu, you read so quickly? Don't you read the script carefully?" Yang Hao asked in surprise.

"Haha, just because of Mr. Yang's reputation as a gold medal screenwriter in the industry, I believe the script must be good, so I won't waste time reading it." Mr. Liu said with a smile.

Yang Hao knew that the other party was just speaking for show.

For such a large project, the script must be read. If a preliminary cooperation intention is reached today, there is plenty of time to read the script privately. There is no need to waste time now.

"Mr. Liu, how do you plan to cooperate?" Yang Hao asked puzzledly.

"Okay, now that we've come to this, I'll just say it straight."

"I think Mr. Yang should know that Penguin Video has been vigorously developing its own dramas since last year, but the results have not been very ideal."

"Seven or eight out of ten dramas flop, one or two break even, and the only one that makes money only makes a small profit. There are basically no dramas that become big hits."

"Mr. Yang, could you let our Penguin video production team participate in your project this time, so that they can learn your mature production methods." Mr. Liu was very honest and told the truth in one breath.

"Okay, no problem." Yang Hao agreed immediately. His company had been launching so many projects at once that it was overwhelmed with manpower. Yang Hao was more than happy to have people from Penguin Video come to help.

Originally, Yang Hao thought that Mr. Liu wanted to take a share in these projects, but he didn't expect the other party's request to be so simple.

"As for the two dramas "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law", let the Penguin production team follow and learn from them. What do you think?" Mr. Liu said, pointing to the project plans of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law".

"Ok!"

"Haha, let's have a happy cooperation." Mr. Liu smiled happily when he heard Yang Hao's ready agreement.

It is clear that the two dramas that Penguin specifically named as requirements for learning are "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law".

Yang Hao understood that the penguin was making a big move.

Yang Hao's time travel changed this world line a lot.

The biggest change at present is that when I first debuted, I went to Penguin with a pan-entertainment plan and asked them to clarify how to implement pan-entertainment. This directly led to Tencent's acquisition of Qidian more than a year earlier than in the previous life.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law" are major male IPs.

Now the other party has specifically asked to learn from "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law", which I think is to pave the way for the film and television adaptation of Qidian novels.

If this goal is truly achieved, Qidian, Penguin Video, and even Tencent's entire business empire will all prosper.

Alas! After stirring up trouble in the entertainment industry, I finally created a butterfly effect.

In the past, Penguin began to adapt its novels into film and television on a large scale when China Literature Group spent 155 billion to acquire New Classics Media, but that was in 2018.

Judging from Penguin's current posture, it is estimated that the acquisition of New Classics will be brought forward by several years.

"Of course, I have another unreasonable request, which is that I hope that for the two dramas "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Son-in-Law", if the prices are the same, Penguin Video will be given priority." Mr. Liu continued.

"No problem." Yang Hao agreed again.

"Mr. Yang, there is a new project. Do you have any ideas?" At this time, Yang Hao stated the main purpose of today.

"Oh! What's the new project?"

According to common sense, the last project to be presented is usually the finale. The first six major projects are all heavyweights, so what is the project that is put aside for the last one?

Mr. Liu smiled and showed great interest in the new project that Yang Hao mentioned.

"Here, Mr. Liu, take a look yourself." Yang Hao took out another project book from his briefcase.

"Zhu Xian" After seeing the name clearly on the project book, Mr. Liu became more interested.

"Zhu Xian" is a big IP of Qidian, and it is also a highly developed IP. The game of the same name "Zhu Xian" produced by Qidian is very famous in the industry.

When I opened the project book, I was shocked to see that the movie and TV series of "Zhu Xian" were being filmed at the same time.

"Great!" Mr. Liu gave Yang Hao a thumbs up and praised him.

There is currently no one in the industry that produces both movies and TV series at the same time.

Mainly because the risk is too great.

If any one of them fails, the other party may be dragged down.

Only a gold medal screenwriter like Yang Hao, a producer with a billion-dollar budget, has the confidence to do this.

Mr. Liu praised Yang Hao and then lowered his head to look carefully at the project book.

"Liu Yifei plays Lu Xueqi?"

When Mr. Liu saw the introduction in the project book, he was stunned. He knew that Liu Yifei would not take on TV dramas.

"I have slept with Liu Yifei, and she agreed to play this role." Seeing Mr. Liu's puzzled look, Yang Hao knew what he wanted to ask and explained directly.

"Amazing! You actually managed to convince Liu Yifei to act in a TV series. How did you convince her mother? Her mother Liu Xiaoli is a difficult person to deal with."

As Mr. Liu of Penguin Video, he knows a lot about things in the entertainment industry. Over the years, countless film and television companies have invited Liu Yifei to star in TV dramas, but they were all rejected by her mother Liu Xiaoli.

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, it's hard to explain this in detail, but I just convinced the other party."

Yang Hao didn't explain, and Mr. Liu didn't care much. He smiled back and continued to read the Zhu Xian project book. This project book was more detailed than the previous six project books. It was obvious that Yang Hao attached great importance to this project.

That's right, after all, it involves movies. If this project is successful, the revenue may be equal to the previous six.

Ten-year agreement! The fairy returns again.

When Mr. Liu saw this promotional plan, he was immediately amazed.

Mr. Liu could foresee that by using the slogan “Ten-Year Agreement”, the popularity of the TV series “Zhu Xian” would explode.

Once the TV series "Zhu Xian" opens up the market, the movie of the same name will be released at the same time while taking advantage of the popularity, and it is likely to have unimaginable box office potential.

Awesome, really awesome!
Mr. Liu quietly looked up at Yang Hao, and admiration for Yang Hao rose in his heart.

Everyone thinks that Yang Hao is a gold medal screenwriter and a billion-dollar producer, but from this project book, Mr. Liu can feel that Yang Hao is also a top planner.

Mr. Liu sighed and continued to read the "Zhu Xian" project book.

"Huh!" Mr. Liu was surprised when he saw that the "Zhu Xian" mobile game was mentioned later.

“Use the popularity of the movie to promote mobile games”

"A fairy tale drama and a mobile game"

……

I saw the concept of "film and television + mobile games" mentioned by Yang Hao in the project book.

Mr. Liu seemed to see Yang Hao again when he first debuted, holding the project plan for interactive film and games and talking to him.

"There's a way!" Mr. Liu pondered for a moment and made a judgment.

Now that 4G networks have only been around for a few years, mobile games are still very popular, but there are almost no mobile games on the market that are linked to film and television. If we follow the model in this project plan, Mr. Liu can be sure that it will definitely be successful.

Suddenly Mr. Liu's heart was burning with excitement.

He really felt that Yang Hao was his lucky star. The reason why he was able to get promoted was also thanks to Yang Hao's interactive film and game plan.

Now Yang Hao is warming me up again. If this film and television + mobile game deal can be successfully implemented, won’t I be promoted again?
If I get promoted again, I should be able to hold the title of vice president of Penguin headquarters!

The reason why Yang Hao told Penguin about the strategic project of film and television + mobile games is that the TV series and mobile game of "The Journey of Flower" will be released soon.

By then, the film and television + mobile game model will be fully presented to everyone, and now it is just one month in advance for Penguin to know about it.

He won't lose anything, but can save the penguin's face, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

"We at Penguin have invested in this project." Without any hesitation, Mr. Liu agreed immediately, and his eyes became more and more passionate as he looked at Yang Hao.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, there are still some minor problems with the "Zhu Xian" project." Yang Hao smiled and prepared to ask the key question.

"Oh? What's the problem?" Mr. Liu frowned and thought carefully in his mind what was wrong with this project book, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

"The film and television copyright of Zhu Xian is in the hands of Huanrui Century, while the game copyright is in the hands of Perfect World."

After saying this, Yang Hao looked towards Mr. Liu, as if to say that Penguin should step in to resolve the copyright issue.

"Oh, that's a small matter."

I thought it was a big deal just now, but it turns out to be just a copyright issue, which is very easy to solve.

Penguin has cooperated with Perfect World and Huanrui Century. As long as they give enough benefits, I think the copyright of "Zhu Xian" should not be a big problem.

"In principle, there is no problem with the Zhu Xian project, but a project of this level still requires a meeting to discuss. I'll give you the exact news in a few days. Is that ok with you?"

“No problem.” Big companies have their own drawbacks. Meetings are required for everything, which Yang Hao can understand.

Yang Hao did not stay in the capital for long. After reaching a cooperation intention with Mr. Liu, he flew back to the United States on the same day to continue accompanying Liu Yifei as she prepared for delivery.
-
After spending a week in the United States with Liu Yifei, Yang Hao flew back to the capital because the cooperation on the "Zhu Xian" project was reached.

The cooperation on the Zhu Xian project is very complicated.

In the TV series, Yang Hao accounts for 70% and Penguin accounts for 30%.

In terms of movies, Yang Hao accounts for 60%, China Film Group and Wanda each account for 15%, and Penguin accounts for 10%.

In mobile games, Yang Hao accounts for 30% and Penguin accounts for 70%.

For the collaboration on "Zhu Xian", Penguin, Yang Hao, Wanda and China Film Group held a grand signing ceremony.

At this point, the news that the epic novel "Zhu Xian" would be adapted into a film and television series spread like wildfire.

In 2009, the film and television adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" were sold. There have always been rumors that "Zhu Xian" was going to be adapted, but so many years have passed and there is no sign of an adaptation.

And today, the confirmed news finally came that "Zhu Xian" will be adapted into a film or TV series.

The signing ceremony of "Zhu Xian" was just announced to the public and it became a hot topic within ten minutes.

At first, it was at the bottom of the hot search list, but it would move up one or two places with each refresh. After more than 20 minutes, the news that "Zhu Xian" would be adapted into a film and television series officially topped the hot search list.

An internal high-end communication group for writers, here are either great writers or platinum writers, including Chen Dong, Tu Dou, Fanqie, Xiao Ding and many others.

"@Xiao Ding, come out and speak up. Is "Zhu Xian" really going to be adapted into a film or TV series?" Tudou asked Xiao Ding directly in the QQ group.

With Tudou’s @, the originally quiet QQ group suddenly became hot.

“Also asking if Zhu Xian is really going to be adapted into a film or TV series?”

+1

……

It is now 2015. Although many online novels have been adapted into TV series and have been very successful at this point in time, they are basically female novels.

The copyrights of many male-oriented novels have been sold, but only a few have actually been adapted.

If we only consider the fantasy genre, "Zhu Xian" should still be the first male-oriented novel to be adapted.

As an online writer, who doesn’t want his or her novels to be made into TV series like Jin Yong’s novels and become a symbol of an era?

Since "Zhu Xian" can be adapted, can "Douluo Dalu", "Fights Break Sphere", "Zhan Tian" and so on be adapted?
For a moment, all the great writers in the high-end communication group became excited.

Just at this time, Xiao Ding came late and typed a line of words in the QQ group.

"Zhu Xian will indeed be adapted into a film or TV series."

"Who is the director? Yang Hao attended the signing ceremony. Is he the director?" Tu Dou continued typing and asked in the group.

"I don't know about that."

The signing ceremony of "Zhu Xian" only announced that the novel would be adapted into a film and television series. As for who the director and actors would be, nothing was revealed. Even the author Xiao Ding himself did not know. (End of this chapter)
