Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 175 Old Nine Budgets

Fang Jing really doesn't like fans giving him money, even when he was writing Zhu Xian in the early days.

But at that time, he was poor, so there was nothing he could do, so he endured it. Later, when he became a celebrity, he was not short of money, and he would get more than 20 yuan for a random announcement, so he didn't ask for a reward from book fans.

In the fan support club that Yang Ning helped him build, he stated from the very beginning that the behavior of swiping money is prohibited.

Some stars were not popular in the early days, and when they first debuted, they were basically supported by fans, whether it was releasing albums or doing publicity.

Later, when he became famous, when he looked down on the small money of fans, he called out loudly, everyone chased stars rationally, and don't waste the hard-earned money of parents.

Fang Jing really can't do this kind of being a lady and setting up a signboard, it's disgusting enough.

"Fang Jing, you can't do it. Since we opened the site, we haven't asked fans not to tip us. Please be considerate."

Ten minutes later, the editor-in-chief of Reading Point called in person, with a firm tone.

Since the afternoon, they have made more money from Fang Jing than the sum of dozens of great writers recently. How could they stop at this time.

Moreover, a large part of website operation depends on readers' rewards. If there are no readers' rewards, their income will drop by at least one-third.

"Editor-in-Chief, many of my fans are students, and I don't have independent sources of income. I don't want them to spend money, and they are not book fans, so forget it."

"It's really not possible, this opening can't be opened, after all, we rely on this for food."

"Okay, I won't embarrass you."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Jing opened the author's background, and deleted Zhu Xian chapter by chapter. He would understand that ordinary book friends tipped him when they didn't know his identity.

But these fans haven't read a single chapter, and some even don't like to read novels. The reward is purely because of his fame, which makes Fang Jing a little bit unbearable.

After deleting Zhu Xian, Fang Jing started to delete Xiaoao Jianghu again. He didn't lock his data on the website, but he couldn't stop himself from deleting books.

Halfway through the deletion, the editor-in-chief called, but he didn't answer, and continued to delete until it was blank after ten minutes. When the book was opened, the work was lost. Let's see how they tipped.

"Fang Jing, what's going on, didn't you say Jiageng? It disappeared as soon as I opened it."

"Same, mine too, is it 404?"

"It should be, not only Xiaoao, Zhu Xian is gone, but I feel sorry for the author."

"Everyone, don't worry, there are no violations in Fang Jingshu, and it may be released in a few days."

Seeing the chat messages in the book friend group, Fang Jing sighed, he has done good and bad, and in the end he felt a little sorry for these book friends.

Many people in it have been chasing after the first book. When they are free, they chat and fart together, and listen to them discuss the plot. Many people are like his friends.

"Everyone, I have already deleted the novel. There are too many people who tipped me blindly, and I have no intention of continuing to serialize it in the future. The remaining chapters of Xiaoao are not too many. I will write a document and post it in the group later. Friends who like it can read it. Down."

"Whether you say I'm pretending or calling me hypocritical, I'll accept it. I won't be writing novels under my real name in the future. At least I won't use this vest again. Goodbye."

After Fang Jing finished speaking, he quit Penguin account cruelly, so he stopped writing. He still felt a little empty and felt a lot of guilt.

But he doesn't regret it. As a human being in two lifetimes, he knows very well what those fans are like, and it is not an exaggeration to describe some of them as crazy.

There are too many people who steal their parents’ hard-earned money to reward the anchor just to listen to the old iron 666, and some of them force their parents to sell their houses and kidneys in order to get in touch with their idols.

If he continues to keep the window for rewarding novels, he will definitely get into trouble in the future. If nothing else, countless parents will come to the door and complain, and some media will add fuel to the flames, then he will inevitably be hacked.

On the second day, Fang Jing was the number one and number two most searched.

"Fang Jing, the number one author of online articles among celebrities, a master writer."

"In order to prevent fans from giving rewards, Fang Jing deleted the book."

For his approach, the company and Yang Ning are very supportive, because a small loss makes a big difference, such things as killing chickens and taking eggs cannot be done, and besides, fans can't squeeze out much money, and it is easy to cause a mess.

……

At the end of July, a few days before Zhu Xian started filming, Xu Shi came to Shanghai to meet Fang Jing. In the afternoon, they found a high-end coffee shop, and the two had a cozy drink.

"Tell me, what do you want from me? I won't be in Shanghai in a few days later, and I will be busy filming Zhu Xian, so I won't be back soon."

"Congratulations!" Xu Shi clasped his fists with a smile. His works can be put on the screen, which is the greatest affirmation for the writers of online literature. "I want to ask you three things, let me make a long story short."

"The first is that the income from investing in Tomb Raiders has come down. Aside from our costs and taxes, we have made a net profit of 800 million. Now the company has nearly 5000 million in its account."

"Secondly, someone wants to raise funds for our company. The amount is quite a lot. They just want to raise 40.00 million yuan, accounting for [-]% of the shares."

"Third, I've already asked the screenwriter for the old nine gates. I have asked professionals about the market assessment and the specific cost of filming. I specially report the results to you. If there is no problem, we will start to make preparations."

Fang Jing nodded, and he was not surprised to be able to earn nearly four times the profit. "Let's just talk about the third one. Financing is fine. It won't be too late to grow bigger and stronger in the future. Now we are losing money."

"Hmm! It's the same as I thought." After taking a sip of coffee, Xu Shi said energetically, "Then let's skip the second point."

"Old Nine Gates I plan to follow the path of online dramas. Last time I participated in the filming of Notes on Tomb Raiders until it was released, I also learned a lot of routines. If we don't want to buy out, we will bet on the number of online VIP views and website signings."

"Not counting the cost of the actors, the initial filming budget is around 4000 million, which we can afford by ourselves. Find two investors to come in, pull in 2000 million, and then find a few advertisers to cooperate. 7000 million should not be a problem."

After talking, Xu Shi looked at Fang Jing worriedly. This skill was no worse than Huanrui's notes on tomb robbers, and the production cost was even higher. He was afraid that Fang Jing would disagree. After all, it was just a web drama, and it was not worth putting down all his wealth.

Fang Jing didn't return right away. Fang Jing lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head after a few minutes and said, "Your production cost is not small. The biggest problem is actors and investment. What do you think?"

call!There was no veto, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, if Fang Jing didn't agree, he couldn't do it at all.

"I've thought about the issue of actors. The model of old drama plus small fresh meat. Of course, you still have to have the small fresh meat of acting. If you play the male lead, you don't need money, and you can save 2000 to [-] million."

"The heroine is looking for first-line stars. You know a lot of people, keep the price down, and try to keep it within 2000 million. For other supporting roles, we go to the film academy. The students there are cheap, and they cost a lot of [-]."

As he spoke, Xu Shi was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands dryly, and said with a smile: "As for the investors, you still need your help. There are many rich people in the entertainment industry, so what, you have worked hard."

"But the advertiser's business is on my shoulders."
