Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Ye Zhiqiu was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "I am not going to sell the film and television rights to "Zhu Xian"."

This answer surprised everyone.

Why?! This is the first thought that comes to everyone’s mind.

You don’t even need to pay for the money delivered to your door, are you crazy? Almost 99% of authors hope that their works can be made into TV series, not only because of money, but also an excellent way to expand their popularity and influence.

After all, the communication capabilities of paper media are limited, and film and television works have a much wider audience.

When the others' faces froze, Li Wenrui asked in a deep voice: "Why, can you tell me the reason?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Just think of it as a little persistence in my heart. I don't think it's the right time yet."

Everyone was silent, and at the same time they were a little confused.

It is true that there are a small number of authors who just have trouble with money and are very resistant to letting others adapt their hard work. But since Ye Zhiqiu agreed to the sale of the game IP, he doesn’t seem like that kind of person.

In fact, what Ye Zhiqiu was thinking was that Yu Caiwei also had shares in Huahai Entertainment, and Li Wenrui was Yu Caiwei's uncle, so he couldn't cheat him!

In the previous life, the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" adapted from "Zhu Xian" was criticized by book fans, and its reputation fell to the bottom.

There are many reasons, but in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, in the final analysis, it is still a lack of money, which leads to the poor quality of the works.

At the beginning, the investment in the TV series "The Chronicles of the Clouds" was more than 200 million, which was definitely a large-scale production. However, excluding the expensive cost of hiring popular actors, as well as publicity fees, etc., there was only a small amount of budget left for the most important special effects production.

to 50 million.

However, the scenes in "Zhu Xian", the ethereal pavilions and pavilions, especially the magnificent fighting scenes, such as the Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique, burn money every frame.

With a special effects cost of 50 million, evenly spread over more than 50 episodes of the TV series, only less than 1 million can be spent on special effects for each episode.

Is one million not enough? For example, Ye Zhiqiu considers the level of special effects that should be achieved - refer to the American TV series "Game of Thrones", the amount spent on special effects in each episode is approximately the same amount.

But the unit is US dollars.

However, it is impossible for domestic entertainment companies to spend such a large amount of money to invest in a TV series. It does not matter whether the cost can be recovered, but it is a matter of the overall industry environment.

It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s that it’s not necessary.

Let me ask, everyone's works are all 10 points. As long as you make something with 30 points, it will be enough to fool the audience and make money. Who will rack their brains to make the work 90 points or even perfect?

Investors making TV series are not doing charity, so of course they won’t do such a thankless thing.

In fact, the TV series "Qing Yun Zhi" in the previous life had a huge fan base. In the end, not only did it not lose money, it even made a small profit, but its reputation collapsed.

If Huahai Entertainment had made the film with this budget, the ending probably wouldn't have been much better, and it might even be labeled as "shoddy."

But Ye Zhiqiu knew in his heart that if he said this, not only would he be unflattering, but the people at Huahai Entertainment might regard him as a lunatic, so he just said that he would not sell the film and television adaptation rights.

For me, when I sell the film and television rights, I keep the money in my pocket, and fans of bad movies can’t criticize me anymore.

But the main thing is that I don’t want to be criticized again, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t make any money.

However, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that I am currently serializing is different.

This masterpiece is completely opposite to "Zhu Xian", but the TV series is about the existence of gods.

These are all things for later.

After confirming that Ye Zhiqiu really had no intention of selling it, everyone at Huahai Entertainment was disappointed.

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said: "Mr. Li, Huahai Entertainment actually wants to make a TV series, and I have another script that is quite suitable."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the person in charge of the film and television department quickly asked: "Is it a fairy tale drama?"

"No." Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Dong Peng sitting in the corner, grinned and said: "Urban drama."

Everyone blinked and looked at each other, a hint of disappointment flashing in their eyes.

Urban dramas, about family love and romance, are indeed an enduring genre, but Huahai Entertainment has filmed quite a few of them, and they were all sold out!

Li Wenrui was quite patient and said with interest: "Explain it."

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, it is an urban situation comedy. I think it is very suitable for the current trial stage of Huahai Entertainment. The investment is small, but the output is not necessarily small."

Ye Zhiqiu briefly talked about the model structure of sitcoms, and there was silence in the conference room.

Some executives wondered: "Is this... okay? If there is no main plot that runs through the whole drama, will it be too scattered and the audience will not be interested in watching it?"

"This is not a problem." At this time, the person in charge of the film and television department showed his due professionalism and explained: "There have been examples of this model before, and it has achieved good results. However, although the main plot is downplayed, it still has

Yes, Zhiqiu’s model is more thorough.”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded slightly and added: "My idea is that this kind of sitcom is mainly played on online video media, and the main target group is young people who watch it in fragmented time."

"After a busy day at work, I don't have the time or the energy to follow the plot every day. I can just turn on the computer and watch it, just to relax."

Following Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, everyone also had market acumen and nodded repeatedly.

It seems... very feasible.

Everyone looked at each other with a flash of surprise in their eyes.

I thought I just signed a talented singer, but it turns out this guy is actually quite a talent!

Even if Ye Zhiqiu doesn't sing, coming to Huahai Entertainment Marketing Department is definitely worth a maximum salary.

"That's okay, but..." an executive hesitated, "This kind of sitcom is a modern setting, and the cost is indeed not very high, but the core problem is that you have to be funny."

"The audience just wants to have fun, and it needs to be short-term and immediate. This is a great test for the script."

Everyone looked at Ye Zhiqiu again, and Li Wenrui asked with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Zhiqiu, do you have a script?"

Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "Let's do this. I will release the scripts for a few episodes first and you can take a look."

Everyone was overjoyed and looked forward to it. Li Wenrui made the decision on the spot: "Okay! It's settled!"

That's right, the internet sitcom that Ye Zhiqiu mentioned is "Dose Man"!

This famous sitcom is not difficult to shoot and is in line with the tastes of today's young people. It is a classic that is both small and broad.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at his manager sitting in the corner with incomprehensible eyes. Dong Peng was stunned for a moment.
