Chapter 456 If you give birth to a child


Chapter 456 If a child is born

At noon on February 4th, the group of people followed the plane to land and returned to Yuhang City.

After returning all the way to Bihailanting, Li Luo and the three girls got off the car, picked up their luggage, and parted ways with Lin Xiuhong and the others temporarily.

When Cui Suling left, she said to Xu Youyu: "Pack your luggage and come home before the 6th. The New Year will be here soon."

"I know~" Xu Youyu nodded, "Then I'll go back tomorrow night."

Returning to 1502 from the gate of the community, Li Luo took out the key and opened the door, then went inside and changed into slippers.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng followed behind. After changing into slippers, they dragged their suitcases towards their rooms, preparing to pack their things first.

In comparison, Xu Youyu was relatively lazy. As soon as he entered the house, he took off his shoes and his socks-clad feet stepped directly on the floor. He threw himself on the soft sofa, threw his suitcase aside, and breathed a long sigh of relief. .

Li Luo was not surprised when he saw this. He didn't rush back to the room. He walked to the sofa and patted Xu Youyu's butt: "Pack your luggage early. Aren't you going back tomorrow night?"

"What's the hurry?" Xu Youyu groaned, twisted his butt, raised his feet, and swayed in the air, "I finally got rid of their terrifying sight. Now I am completely relaxed and have returned to sleep from the fighting state. status.”

After all, in Xu Youyu's opinion, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng didn't know that they were writing novels.

After leaving the four parents who knew about this matter, she obviously relaxed.

But Li Luo, as a veteran, reminded with a smile: "I suggest you not to enter the dormant state too early."

"What's wrong?"

"Based on my experience." Li Luo said slowly, "When your parents know about your novel writing and have a showdown with each other, it won't be long before your relatives know about it."

"After all, it is also a Wanding work."

"Your relatives may have limited education and may not be able to appreciate the content, but the royalties are real."

"In one and a half years, I have earned RMB 700,000 to RMB 800,000 in royalties. Can a normal high school student, college student, or even someone who has just graduated and started working earn so much?"

"If it were me, I would definitely not be able to help showing off to my relatives in private."

After hearing what Li Luo said, Xu Youyu's expression suddenly changed and he got up from the sofa in a flash.

If only Xu Rongsheng knew about this matter, Xu Youyu was not worried at all about the situation Li Luo said.

After all, Xu Rongsheng didn't look like a big talker, and he wouldn't show off to his relatives just because of this.

But not Cui Suling!

From Cui Suling's point of view, everyone knows about this, even Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong know about it, so what does it have to do with sharing it with relatives?

After all, Cui Suling hadn't seen some of the content behind Xu Youyu's novel, so she thought what she wrote was serious.

As soon as he thought about it, Xu Youyu quickly took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. After thinking about it, he sent a message to his father.

Xu Youyu felt that if he told his mother directly, the effect would be limited. At this time, his father would still have to take action.

After sending the message and seeing Xu Rongsheng's reply, Xu Youyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, fell down on the sofa again, and completely relaxed.

"One more thing." Li Luo added, "Since my parents could see the photos on Weibo during the annual meeting, others might have seen them too, so I think you should not let down your guard. Better.”

"Stop scaring me!" When Xu Youyu heard what Li Luo was going to say, he immediately turned over on the sofa and glared at him angrily, "It's all because of you!"

"If you hadn't lied to me when you woke me up before, saying that my parents knew about my novel writing."

"Maybe my parents don't know!"

Li Luo: "...can you say this? Uncle Xu already knew about this last year."

"Hmph, I don't care." Xu Youyu kicked him angrily, "It's all up to you anyway, I'm so angry."

Li Luo grabbed her ankle and lifted Xu Youyu's leg up with a slight lift.

She, who has not exercised all year round and has poor body flexibility, suddenly screamed and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Let go!"

Li Luo let go of his hand with a smile, and then said: "What time will you go home tomorrow night? If possible, wait until after dinner before leaving."

"What's wrong?" Xu Youyu couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing what he said, "Do you want to cook?"

"That's not true." Li Luo said with a smile, "I have prepared a surprise for my dad, and we will have a meal to celebrate then."

"Huh? What's the surprise?"

"It's kept secret for now."

……

night.

Li Luo was coding in the room.

During the break, I would process the information on QQ.

[Qianzhou]: Your book "Little Joy" has done quite well recently. It has already obtained the premium badge. It ranks first in monthly votes and bestsellers on the reality category channel, and has basically no other competitors.

[Qianzhou]: And I think the word-of-mouth is quite good. There were a lot of people questioning the book when it first opened. Now many people are praising the plot.

[Qianzhou]: In addition, the negotiations with the Copyright Department seem to be going smoothly, but I am not very clear about the specific situation. I will not receive news until the final result is released.

[Qianzhou]: If you want to know the specific situation, you still have to ask yourself, the editor-in-chief or someone from the copyright department.

[Reignited]: Well, I understand.

In fact, it was a bit surprising to Li Luo that "Little Joy" received a high-quality award.

Although he has never read the original novel of "Little Joy", novels adapted from this type of novel are generally not too long.

Li Luo enriched and supplemented the text according to the plot content of the 49 episodes of the TV series, writing a full length of 800,000 words. The content and form of the original novel of "Little Joy" are definitely very different.

In his last life, he had seen a few news about the behind-the-scenes of "Little Joy". It was said that the content of the TV series was only based on the plot of the original novel as the context and framework, and many of the specific plots were filled in by the creative team themselves.

Excluding some settings in the TV series about why not eat minced meat, the plot logic and rhythm of "Little Joy" itself are quite outstanding.

Li Luo expanded it according to the content of the TV series, writing about 10,000 to 20,000 words for one episode, and put it into an online article. In fact, it is already a type with a very compact plot.

For example, "I'm Really Not a Star" written by Li Luo, a pretentious and slap-in-the-face plot, there are many places where the number of words can be underestimated, or it can be said that it is deliberately foreshadowing multiple times. The protagonist Li Yang in the book may have written a song and prepared to appear on a certain program. He can write twenty or thirty chapters for you, which is approximately 50,000 to 60,000 words.

In "Little Joy", the conflicts are shorter and more urgent.

The content contained in 800,000 words, if it were really structured according to the writing method of Internet articles, would probably reach two to three million words.

Just the emotional line between the male and female protagonists can create a long plot line.

Thinking of this, Li Luo clicked on the message sent to him by Lawyer Tian.

[Lawyer Tian]: Wenyue Group’s offer for the film and television rights to “Little Joy” is 15 million.

[Lawyer Tian]: To be honest, this price is exaggerated.

[Lawyer Tian]: After all, your book "I'm Really Not a Star" is the one with the most explosive results. In comparison, the results of "Little Joy" are far behind.

[Lawyer Tian]: However, Wenyue Group has already decided that "Little Joy" will be the first prize for realistic essays. It is said that this thing has a cooperative relationship with the Changning Municipal Press and Publication Bureau and is an official endorsement.

[Lawyer Tian]: I don’t know if Huayue Film and Television was bluffed or something, but the asking price is not particularly low anyway.

[Lawyer Tian]: Originally, I estimated that if your copy of "Little Joy" sold for seven to eight million, it would be huge.

[Lawyer Tian]: But looking at the current situation, the transaction price is likely to be more than 10 million.

[Reignited]: Okay, I understand. Please continue to follow up, Lawyer Tian, ​​and let me know when you have any follow-up news.

[Lawyer Tian]: No problem.

After reading the message from Lawyer Tian, ​​Li Luo also fell into deep thought.

Now is the stage of 2016. Although the copyright craze for online articles is still warm, it has basically passed the craziest period.

What's more, "Little Joy" itself is not a hit online article. It relies more on the reputation of "Reignition", as well as the official endorsement of the essay award, plus the backing of Wenyue Group, to be able to submit this article. An inflated price.

Li Luo didn't care much about this.

He still remembered what a certain platinum boss said to him at the previous annual meeting.

When selling film and television rights for the first time, don’t worry about the price. The sale itself is the most important thing.

Because for Wenyue Group, which holds a large number of online copyrights, its pursuit is not to help every author sell their copyrights.

It’s about maximizing the value of the copyright in your hands.

To put it simply, the average subscription price of ordinary high-quality online articles is more than 3,000 yuan. Is it true that no film and television company is willing to buy it?

In fact, if the film and television copyright of this kind of web article costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, there will still be many companies willing to hoard the copyright.

As long as one of these becomes popular, you can directly make money back.

But Wenyue Group directly quoted you several million, would you still buy it?

If the film and television rights of an ordinary book with ten thousand subscriptions are sold for hundreds of thousands, many companies will definitely be happy to acquire it. But if they come up and quote you ten million, will you buy it?

But if it’s those Internet articles that have become popular on Qidian, and the books are ordered by tens of thousands of people, Wenyue Group will quote tens of millions.

At first glance, it seems quite expensive, but other high-quality books with high-quality results are priced in the millions and tens of millions. So the price of this popular online book is tens of millions, isn’t it very reasonable?

For Wenyue Group, whether the copyright of a high-quality book with thousands of subscriptions can be sold is not important in itself.

What matters is whether the IP price can be increased.

Once a popular online book can be sold for tens of millions in copyright fees, the income from one copy is far greater than the income from the copyright of dozens or hundreds of ordinary books.

When the value of the copyright is comparable, by selling only one hit copy, Wenyue Group only paid for the copyright of one book, and still holds the copyright library of thousands of works.

For Wenyue Group, this is an abundant ammunition arsenal.

Faced with this situation, Li Luo actually had nothing to do.

What's more, with his current status as a great god, he is the beneficiary of this copyright strategy.

But...

If I can sign a platinum contract next year, I might be able to take it to the next level and truly grasp some of the copyright freedom.

But that's what Li Luo was thinking at this time.

After all, after his rebirth, his current life is already comfortable enough. How much money he will make in the future will not make much difference.

Do you really want to buy a villa and recruit Butler Liu to be the housekeeper?

Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.

Li Luo suddenly burst out laughing when he thought of this, and some beautiful fantasies about the future suddenly appeared in his mind.

Actually... the villa seems really nice?

Although the house in Bihai Lanting is also very good, it is quite difficult to accommodate four people now.

Normally, Lin Xiuhong and the others come here to cook, and when about ten people sit at the same table to eat, the dining table is still quite crowded.

If I have another baby in the future...

Ahem.

Thinking of this, Li Luo quickly stopped his fantasy and silently thought about his sins.

Some things are still unresolved and there is still a long way to go.

Now that they are still young, they still have to wait until they go to college to figure it out.

Don't be too impatient.

Thinking of this, Li Luo took a deep breath, put his hands on the keyboard again, activated the memory palace in his mind, and continued to immerse himself in creation.
