At that time, the reputation of her barebones production company should have already taken off. As long as she wanted to make money, people couldn’t possibly refuse.
Chen Jingbai appeared helpless on the surface, but inside, he was extremely happy.
The fact that Little He thought he was worth spending so much money on proved he was absolutely the most important!
Fatty had already cried and fainted in the restroom.
He originally thought that a 2 million outline was already the peak of his life, but he didn’t expect Bai Lu’s early work could be offered a sky-high price of 30 million. When would heaven also grant him such a generous patron?
But pain is pain, and bitterness is bitterness. He asked himself honestly, to spend money so recklessly on a girl he had just met...
That’s not deep feelings; that’s a brain problem.
He didn’t have a brain problem, so he was destined not to get such a generous patron.
This made it even worse.
In this continuous wave of popularity, authors who had previously sold copyrights were rubbing their hands with excitement, determined to write the story of this outline!
Animation rights were sold; aren’t there still film and television rights?
As long as the generous patron wanted to buy at a cheaper price, they would give them out!
They only asked for quality production, so they could appear on TV one more time ah ah ah!
For a time, the writing community was in turmoil, readers enjoyed multiple pleasures every day, and they were incredibly grateful to this generous patron who stimulated the lazy authors to be diligent!
Moving into August, the two chief editors who had been on vacation returned to their positions yesterday. Today was the first, and many works chose to launch on that day, increasing their workload, which in turn caused them to work overtime.
Hu Zai and other editors in the group let out a sigh of relief—the overtime pay at midnight was pretty high, and they were okay with that.
Moreover, after arranging the launches, there was nothing else to do, so earning a high salary while goofing off was still pleasurable. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel~fire~net
The group discussed the recent surging copyright craze, all filled with excitement.
"Recently, more companies have inquired about copyrights too..."
"Yeah, there are quite a few middle-tier authors’ copyrights that people have started to ask about..."
Of course, the first goal of capitalists is to make money. These authors are currently unknown or haven’t sold copyrights yet, so the prices are relatively low.
Some works with fewer words might be worth only a few hundred thousand.
If this good IP catches the wave, they can even develop it themselves.
Otherwise, such copyrights generally don’t have long-term development agreements, and keeping them might eventually lead to selling them at a higher price in a few years.
The authors were increasingly motivated to update, and the attention from capitalists grew, with more and more quality works getting approved one after another...
The entire community entered a state of prosperity.
As the beneficiaries, Dream Weaving Literature Network naturally rejoiced from top to bottom.
And Hu Zai stretched lazily—after working overtime to this point, he could take a day off tomorrow. With some authors launched today, there was nothing else to do, so he might as well read novels.
He had been craving "Lingxiao" for a long time.
An editor reads quickly, but as a reader, he was excited and expectant.
Hu Zai opened "Lingxiao", didn’t even have time to read the summary, and clicked right in.
Crown Prince of Great Zhou?
Why does this seem so familiar?
His heart started to pound, and his palms got a bit sweaty—if there was a plagiarizing author on his hands, then the whole group would need to start a review, and the imagined vacation would be impossible.
He struggled through the first 30,000 words, and his whole mind was engrossed in the plot. But when the male lead, Chen Xu, and the maiden Tianzhu shared some thoughts about life, he abruptly snapped to clarity—
This plot, he had seen before!
No, no, no, no, please no!!!
This plot... with tears, Hu Zai analyzed, he had indeed seen it before.
Except in "Lingxiao", the two became more and more determined in their resolve.
And in another book, the maiden fell softly into the male lead’s arms...
His fingers trembling, he clicked open "Phoenix Platform".
At this moment, one eye on the computer and another on the phone, he tried to check one by one.
However, he didn’t even need to be too meticulous; the opening descriptions of the palaces were exactly the same.
The differences were only in the names of the male lead and characters, typos, and some awkwardly inserted boundary-pushing scenes.
The editor next to him, also working overtime, returned joyfully with a cup of milk tea. Seeing Hu Zai’s face looking off, he couldn’t help but ask:
"What’s going on? Are you feeling unwell?"
But Hu Zai couldn’t even manage a smile and just whispered—"Our vacation is screwed."
After saying that, he directly got up and headed to the chief editor’s office.
The editors could slack off, but the chief editor still needed to handle the accumulated issues during this time, so he didn’t even lift his head:
"I have a novel here, and it seems to be plagiarized..."
Where did this idiot come from, screwing over the entire team!
