Reborn since 2005

Yan Xin was taken aback by Chen Li's statement, feeling that it was an extremely irresponsible statement.

He could feel that Liang Wei was actually quite willing to be with Chen Li, and wanted to achieve a positive result, but Chen Li was not so willing.

He didn't expect that these two people had actually discussed such an issue and reached an agreement.

He felt that Liang Wei was definitely unwilling to be like this in her heart. The reason why she agreed was probably because the two of them would break up if they disagreed, so he could only agree to such a proposal.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that Chen Li's behavior is irresponsible and will delay other girls.

If you like it, give them a visible future, if you don't like it, break up as soon as possible, so as not to delay them.

A girl doesn't have many years of youth to waste.

It's just that the words came to his lips, and he swallowed them again.

It's easy to teach others a lesson from the moral high ground, but if the thing you reprimanded happened to you, it would be too embarrassing.

At this moment, he thought of himself. He was confused with Ai Lili and Feng Xi, and he didn't have a decision in his mind about what to do in the future.

In terms of disappointment and irresponsibility, he may not be inferior to Chen Li.

In the future, it is uncertain who can stand on the moral high ground.

Scolding Chen Li now is tantamount to scolding his future self.

After thinking for a while, I finally sighed: "This is your own life, as long as you feel happy."

Chen Li saw Yan Xin's disapproval, so he also explained a few sentences: "I think we are still very young, there is no need to restrain ourselves for the rest of our lives so early, maybe it is not suitable? Maybe we can meet more Okay? The future is still very long, there is no need to be so anxious now."

Yan Xin could only nod: "You are quite reasonable."

Now that Chen Li chooses this way of life, there is no big problem. After all, he is still young and has the opportunity to make mistakes. Maybe he will change his mind in a few years and choose marriage and have children.

Even if she is married to Liang Wei now, it doesn't necessarily mean that she has achieved a good result, and there is still a possibility of divorce in the future.

There are many divorces in this world, and there will be more and more.

Don't say that the current Chen Li still has this kind of reluctance, even if he is 100% willing, there is no guarantee that he will not get divorced in the future.

When many people get married, they expect to live a lifetime with each other, but in the end, not so many can actually live a lifetime.

The same is true for him in his previous life.

Thinking of this, he sighed again.

Chen Li glanced at him, couldn't help laughing and said: "I see you are two years younger than me, why do you live like an old man, without the vitality of a young man at all. Let's not talk about the clichés of family marriage Let’s talk about novels.”

Now his new book is driven by the old book, the data is very good, and the collection has exceeded 20 before it is put on the shelves, it is absolutely top-notch.

The website also expects him to set a subscription record again with this book, and has promised him that it will give him the greatest recommendation resources to recommend his book when it is on the shelves.

As long as the first order score can break the website record, he will go to other platforms to send him soft articles for this novel.

His need for money is not so great now, but he is interested in creative records.

Last year, he joined a website's big god group, and those leading authors were in that group, and he has become more and more familiar with the circle of online literature.

Everyone sometimes shares manuscript fees in the group. In terms of income, he is the top.

However, there are also some authors who are well paid.

Mainly from physical publications.

Many authors in the group have physical publications, and some authors earn much more in this regard than subscriptions.

If you talk about the subscription income of the main website, Chen Li is a proper brother, much higher than other authors.

The average subscription is the highest, and the update volume is so high, it's no wonder the income is low.

In terms of physical publishing, he is no worse than those top masters. Whether it is published in traditional or simplified Chinese, the sales volume is very good.

In July, the physical publishing royalties for this half year will be settled, and it will be a large income at that time.

Speaking of this, Chen Li said to Yan Xin: "Actually, your company can also get involved in the publishing of online novels. You are more accurate in judging online novels. You can know which books will be popular, and you can publish them in the new book issue." Buy the copyrights of those novels at a relatively low price, and you can even buy them outright, so you can make a fortune.”

Yan Xin smiled and waved his hand: "Forget about physical publishing. It's not very interesting to know which book will sell well. We don't have our own channels, so we can't sell it. And piracy is too rampant now. Doing this risk It's too big, there's no need to do it."

But with a thought, he said, "Physical publishing is meaningless, but hoarding the copyrights of a few books, such as film and television adaptations and game adaptations, seems to be a good choice."

"Film adaptation? Game adaptation?"

Chen Li widened his eyes,
"Aren't you kidding? Just online novels, with that little influence, can it be made into a film and television drama? Can it be changed into a game?"

Now online novels are not popular.

Even though online novels have no status after many years, at least the market is there and there are still quite a lot of audiences.

But the current online novels have very few readers, and as the starting point of the industry leader, the annual sales revenue is not much.

Even counting all pirated readings, the number is still very small.

It's still a niche thing.

As far as the influence of online novels is concerned, it seems a bit ridiculous to use them to make film and television works or change games.

Even if someone is selected, it is not because of the influence of that novel, but because of the content.

Because in front of the public, these works do not have much influence at all.

Chen Li found it incredible that Yan Xin wanted to do such a business.

However, Yan Xin understands the value of the big IP in the future.

It's just "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the IP value is calculated in hundreds of millions.

There is also "Tomb Raiders Notes".

It's a pity that he found out that the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is no longer available.

But there are still some works that can be copyrighted, especially those that have not yet been published.

He doesn't have a sharp eye, but he knows which online works have been successfully adapted in later generations.

It is relatively more difficult to adapt male videos, and the copyright price is correspondingly higher.

However, it is easy to adapt women's videos into film and television works, because the data is not very impressive, and the price is low, and the right to adapt can be obtained very cheaply.

Now the company also has some spare cash. It spends several million to hoard some novel copyrights. After ten or eight years, when the IP becomes popular, it will change hands at that time. No matter what, two zeros will have to be added.

My thinking has diverged a bit—I don’t know if Liu Diangong’s film and television adaptation rights have been sold. If not, I can hurry up.

When the electrician becomes a god, it will be too late.

I didn't talk too much about this topic with Chen Li, but after the evening exercise, I mentioned this matter when I was chatting with Ai Lili. I asked Ai Lili to set up such a copyright operation department. Music copyright, on the one hand, purchase novel copyright.

If you can buy it out, you can buy it out. If you can't buy it out, you can also buy individual copyrights, such as how many years of film and television adaptation rights, how many years of game adaptation rights, and so on.

Now no one has realized the value of this aspect, and if you start early, you can pay less.

Several novel platforms are not making much money now. To be precise, they should be operating at a loss. If someone can buy the copyright of a novel, as long as the price is not particularly low, I believe they will be willing to have an additional source of income.

Ai Lili also had doubts: "Can I really make money doing this?"

"You can really make money!" Yan Xin said with certainty, "You can trust my vision, the work I let you buy will definitely make money!"

Hearing what he said with such certainty, and thinking of the achievements he had given Chen Li and Liang Wei to write web articles, Ai Lili believed his judgment and said, "Then I will start preparing for this matter tomorrow."

He also said: "Maybe other departments of the company can't transfer people, so they need to recruit other people."

"Then recruit people," Yan Xin said, "Our company will grow bigger and stronger in the future, and the current manpower is obviously not enough. We have to recruit people when it's time to recruit."

The company's new office is under renovation and is almost finished. Yan Xin's plan is to move the company's headquarters there in July. The area is larger and can accommodate more people to work.

And it's still your own property, so you don't have to pay rent anymore.

The office they are renting now is still a bit small. There are only more than 30 employees. When all the employees go to work, it is already a bit crowded. If they recruit more employees, it will be even more crowded.

However, it doesn't take many people to set up a copyright operation department. In Yan Xin's opinion, one or two people is enough, and it won't cause too much crowding.

In a month or two, we will move into a new office, and the old office will continue to be used. At that time, we can freely recruit talents.

Ai Lili's work efficiency is still good. Within a few days, a new employee was recruited through a headhunting company, and another employee was transferred from the music department to set up a copyright operation department.

The first thing after the establishment of the department is to contact the senior management of the starting point to discuss the purchase of copyright.

There is no China Literature group yet, and Tony Ma has not set his sights on the online literature market. Although the starting point is the largest Chinese-language novel website, its income is not very high, and it is actually still losing money.

Yan Xin reckoned that in a few months, he would sell all his stocks and go to the bank to borrow some money. Maybe he could buy this website.

Of course, even if he had that ability, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

It is not difficult to buy a website. To continue to operate it, a lot of money has to be poured into it.

He doesn't have that much money.

Moreover, running such a website is also a very headache. I don't know how many times I will be invited to drink tea because of illegal content.

In his previous life, he didn't know much about the Internet literature industry, but he was a reader of Internet literature, and many novels he read disappeared for no reason, so he was deeply impressed by it.

With the bonus of rebirth, there are too many profitable businesses in the world, and running a novel website is obviously not the best choice.

A big man like Mr. Ma, who is like a Pizza Hut, can't protect the novels on the website comprehensively, let alone a grassroots like him.

When the website was in his hands, it was fine if he kept losing money. If he made money, he might be reported and disappeared in minutes.

It is better to selectively buy some high-quality assets and do some IP business.

In the past few days, Yan Xin also browsed the books on several novel websites. He didn't read the content, but simply looked at the title of the book, whether it was the same as the big IPs in his memory.

Then sort out a catalog and let the people in the copyright operation department use this catalog to discuss copyright procurement.

If the copyright has been sold, there is no other way, and if the copyright has not been sold, we should start as much as possible.

After finishing all this, he and Ai Lili left Yangcheng and started a ten-day tour of Guangxi Province.

Yan Xin thought about going there by car, but when browsing the news on the website, he found that driving was not so convenient, so he chose to go there by plane.

Group travel is the most trouble-free, and the itinerary is arranged by someone.

But both Yan Xin and Ai Lili don't like this way of traveling, so they made their own strategies and travel according to their own preferences.

When they passed, the golden holiday had already passed, but there were still quite a lot of people.

This season is the peak tourist season for the local area.

They don't go to many places. Most people go to travel and visit all those attractions, which takes about three or four days.

But the itinerary will be very rushed, coming and going in a hurry, just like clocking in at work, losing the fun of travel and leisure.

Yan Xin chooses [-] days in order to allow more time to slowly immerse himself in the local beauty.

This is the first time for him and Ellie to travel, and it feels quite novel.

During these ten days, they took a lot of photos, and the memory cards of the digital cameras were changed a few times.

While walking hand in hand with Ai Lili in the painting-like scenery, Yan Xin suddenly remembered that this place is also the place Feng Xi yearns for very much.

In her previous life, Feng Xi had said many times that she wanted to travel to this place, and wanted to see how beautiful the scenery introduced in elementary school textbooks was.

It's a pity that they lived too poorly in their previous life, they couldn't live their own lives, and they couldn't bear to spend money to travel, so they had to save any money to prepare for having children in the future.

Thinking of those things makes me sad.

If you know what the end result is, you might as well bring her here to play, at least you will have one less regret.

Feng Xi's longing eyes appeared in his mind when he mentioned this place.

I couldn't help thinking: "When I have a chance in the future, I still have to take her here to have a look. I didn't have such conditions in my previous life, but I have conditions in this life, so I don't want to leave such regrets."

Then he glanced at Ai Lili, who was holding her hand, and was full of self-blame: "I'm really a scumbag, holding her hand, and thinking about going on a trip with another woman!"
