Chapter 133 IP Adaptation (Part 1, Seeking Everything)
"Mr. Zheng, our first-generation DJI drone is undergoing final debugging. ﹢Pine u Luo U Xiao﹢ said that this drone has a maximum remote control distance of about 3,000 meters and has an aerial photography function."
"The R&D department is planning to design a second-generation drone. The second-generation drone can have a remote control distance of up to 6,000 meters and will add automatic tracking and shooting functions."
"The company is still recruiting, and various departments are short of manpower. Vice President Guo has transferred some people to fill some departments, and now the company can barely operate."
"Regarding production, Ran Ran and I discussed the plan to set up a factory. All futures will be manufactured by our own factory in the future. If the sales volume is large in the future, we may find OEMs. After all, we are the first company to make civilian drones.
, the major OEMs don’t have experience in this area, so it’s probably hard to find OEMs.”
In the general manager's office of DJI Technology Company, Qian Jun gave Zheng Ge a cup of tea and briefly described the recent situation.
"How to set up a factory by yourself? How to set up a production line?"
Zheng Ge asked.
"My old uncle is looking for connections and plans to join the army/factory and buy two production lines to cope with it for the time being," Qian Jun said.
Zheng Ge: "..." It's good to have an awesome uncle, "Not bad, are there any other difficulties?"
Qian Jun looked worried, "Everything is going well for the time being, but when we really enter the market, I'm afraid..."
Ran Ran and the others also looked uneasy.
After all, drones are valuable goods.
In other words, it is a luxury item, not a necessity.
For example, Qian Jun and others plan to price the first-generation civilian drone at 12,000 yuan, which will directly block most people from the door. These days, people who are willing to spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy an electronic product are not
many.
It's not that you can't afford it.
Mainly because of reluctance.
If you really want to buy it, most people can do it if they grit their teeth.
"Mr. Zheng, I think the price of 12,000 yuan is a bit expensive. How about lowering it a little?"
Ran Ran frowned.
"I don't think it's appropriate to lower the price."
Qian Jun shook his head, "Our product is the world's first civilian drone. If we set the price very low from the beginning, we have set the tone. It will be difficult to raise the price later.
.I think it would be better to wait until the second-generation drone is launched to reduce the price.”
Zheng Ge remained silent.
Think about it, think about the first mobile phone back then. How high was the price when it first came out?
It can easily reach tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
What did the mobile phones look like at that time? They were all like big bricks, but they were extremely expensive.
Because at that time, mobile phones were still considered luxury accessories and relatively rare items.
"As for the price, you can discuss and place an order, but it's a little early to talk about this right now. What you have to do now is to get the company up and running as soon as possible. If you need help, you can contact Mr. Guo. In addition, we must also hurry up on the construction of the factory. Research and development.
, and don’t relax. After the second generation is successfully developed, we will continue to develop the third, fourth, and fifth generations. After our drones are launched, it won’t be long before someone comes out to compete with us for the market. We must be prepared for this.
That’s all.”
Zheng Ge said seriously.
Qian Jun, Ran Ran and the others nodded.
After giving some more explanations, Zheng Ge got up and left DJI.
…
After walking out of the building, Zheng Ge was preparing to greet Azheng and drive home.
At this time, he received a call from Zhou Zhou.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, good news."
Zhou Zhou's excited voice came over.
Zheng Ge stood by the car, holding his mobile phone, listening to Zhou Zhou's excited voice, a little speechless, "I say Miss Zhou, you are the editor-in-chief now, you must know how to control your mood, and don't yell when something happens."
Damn it. Let your subordinates see it, the impact will be very bad."
Zhou Zhou: "..."
I can't wait to tell you some good news, but I still have to be punished!
Immediately she said: "Mr. Zheng, we set sail on the Chinese website. A director has spotted a novel and wants to buy the copyright and adapt it into a TV series."
Zheng Ge was stunned and said: "Adaptation?"
IP adaptation is not very popular in this world.
But in the previous life, it was no stranger.
In previous lives, countless online articles were transformed into TV series, online dramas, movies, etc.
Although most of them have ended up on the street.
Of course, there are also some that are very successful, such as Hua Qiangu, Yu Zui, etc.
Hey! It seems that Hua Qiangu was adapted from IP.
Zheng Ge doesn’t remember clearly.
But in his previous life, IP was indeed very popular. Although it became a little cold on the eve of his time travel.
In this world, Zheng Ge also has plans to develop IP. But the development time for online writing here is too short after all, and it only takes two months to fully calculate.
There are not many books in the library, how can I speculate on IP?
"Yes, this director is very famous. His name is Zhou Yi. You should have heard of it. The TV series shot by him basically have explosive ratings. I feel that if the adaptation can be successful this time, then we will set sail for the Chinese website
His reputation will definitely skyrocket."
Zhou Zhou sounded excited. She had long considered launching the Chinese website as her career.
With Zheng Ge's consent, Xi Meng and Zhou Zhou signed an agreement. As long as Zhou Zhou could operate the Qihang Chinese website to a certain scale, she would be given a portion of the equity dividend.
Of course, it is just the equity dividend of Qihang Chinese Network.
Therefore, she was worried about the development of Qihang Chinese website.
"What's the name of the book you adapted?"
Zheng Ge asked.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy Tale, eh! According to your classification, this book belongs to a female channel."
Zhou Zhou said.
Zheng Ge supported his forehead.
Sure enough, female videos are easy to adapt.
It was the same in previous lives.
Most of the successful adaptations are female videos.
As for male videos, they basically change one thing and attack another.
I remember that the most successful male channel seemed to be "Yu Zui", which was also a web drama. Unfortunately, it was also later removed.
"What's the data like in this book?"
Zheng Ge asked.
Zhou Zhou said: "The data is not particularly good. It has 100,000 clicks, and it ranks around 30 on the ranking list. Compared with several male novels with over a million clicks, the data of this book is not very good."
"But I heard from director Zhou Yi that this book is easy to adapt, and some elements in this book are also very suitable for TV series. Those for male characters are not easy to modify. The key is that the special effects are too complicated."
"Yeah! It's too expensive. I heard from the director on Monday that if we adapted the most popular male-video novel on our website, the special effects alone would cost hundreds of millions. The cost is too high."
Zheng Ge hummed, thought for a while, and said: "Online literature has just started now, and we still need to do a lot. For example, we will launch paid reading in the future, etc. After all, the company wants to make a profit. As for IP adaptation, it is also a major trend in the future.
.”
"In the future, there will be not only film and television adaptations, but also various adaptations of games, animations, comics, etc. Therefore, I suggest that IP copyright control be stricter in the early stage. Especially those excellent IPs, do not rush to sell them. Wait until the price rises in the future.
Say it again."
Zhou Zhou hesitated for a moment, "What do you mean, reject Director Monday?"
