Start with the script killing shop

Galaxy Script Club is a legend in the script killing industry.

As legendary as Galaxy Script Club is the Card Game Studio.

The former opened a script-killing store that became the most searched for, and later he even opened a script-killing theme park. Although in the eyes of most tourists, there is little connection between Galaxy Script Theme Park and Script Killing. Many tourists cannot remember the full name of the amusement park. They only remember it as an amusement park or the Galaxy Theme Park on the outskirts of the city. They completely ignore the word "script". However, people in the industry still know how much the word "script" accounts for in the amusement park. proportion.

Taiping Town comes from "MasterChef Competition".

Cinema comes from "Time Cinema".

Theater from "Red Tears".

The haunted house is from A Dollhouse of Horror.

Snow Village comes from "Snow and Ice World".

Even in the toy theater performances, many people thought of "Toy Story."

Family members, what is this if you don’t love scripts?

Is there anyone in the world who loves the script killing industry more than Mr. Jiang Qi, the boss of Galaxy Script Agency?

No!

In this industry, no one dares to say that he loves the script killing industry more than Jiang Qi, although he doesn't care about his script killing shop at all now.

Compared to Galaxy Script Club, the card game studio tied to this script killing shop is even more mysterious.

It can be said that the store owners have never seen such a weird release.

We have seen a lot of releases that sell bad copies, and we have also seen a lot of releases that use marketing and publicity to cheat money. But this kind of books are sold at sky-high prices, and the customer service is extremely bad-tempered. He always refuses to buy or not. He never goes to exhibitions or shows up. It seems that he doesn’t really want to sell the books. All the books are only owned by Galaxy Script Company. This is indeed the first time I have seen the issuance of in-store purchases.

Many people think that Card Game Studio is basically tied to Galaxy Script Club. In addition, all the script-related attractions in Galaxy Script Theme Park are all produced by Card Game Studio, which makes everyone even more suspicious. There is an ulterior relationship between the two bosses.

Many people think that the card game studio is Jiang Qi's industry, and he produces and sells it himself.

The above remarks all come from Jiang Jun's narration of Jiang Qi.

After listening to this, Jiang Qi fell into a daze.

He felt that shock could no longer describe his current mood. He felt as if his mind had just been bombed by an atomic bomb. There was nothing left, only blankness and flat land.

"Why...why?" Jiang Qi's lips trembled as he asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"What and why?" Jiang Jun didn't quite understand.

Jiang Qi waved his hand and held his head with his right hand: "My mind is a little messed up right now. Can you let me sort it out?"

A few minutes later, Jiang Qi, who felt a little awake, picked the most important question and asked: "Assuming that what you just said is the industry's view of me, what does this have to do with Galaxy Script Agency's name as a producer? ?”

From Jiang Jun's remarks just now, Jiang Qi could tell that everyone seemed to have a deep misunderstanding of him. They misunderstood that he was a super rich man who loved the script killing industry, but this had nothing to do with the influence of Galaxy Script Club.

Jiang Jun wants to sell copies, but the consensus is that the card game studio cannot sell them at all.

There is no use being famous, the price is too expensive, and there are too few people to take advantage of.

If you buy a card game studio book from a normal store, you won’t be able to draw cards. If you buy it, it’s pure resentment.

"Because you are very famous, Boss Jiang." Jiang Jun said calmly and explained in detail, "JC is a brand new publisher with no reputation. When we first wanted to write a book and redistribute it, Lao Cao and I actually contacted each other and had a close relationship with each other. I would like to ask the staff at the big distribution company to provide some help with paid publicity."

"Then, they didn't agree?" Jiang Qi started to eat.

Jiang Jun smiled bitterly: "They agreed, but they wanted me to leave the city limits."

"City limits?"

Because Jiang Qi has never bought other City Limits releases, he is not particularly clear about the difference between City Limits and boxed sets.

In Jiang Qi's view, City Limit is a limited edition box. Because it is a limited edition, and only 3 copies can be sold in a city, it has caused competition among stores, so the price has naturally gone up, and it can be sold for several times the price of ordinary boxed copies.

"So you guys can't write City Limits? But I remember my sister complained to me before. Apart from the very famous City Limits, many of them are also bad books, but they are limited editions. City Limits and Boxed Editions What's the difference? Is the size required to be larger?" Jiang Qi was a little curious.

Jiang Jun thought for a moment: "Under normal circumstances, we would assume that the quality of Chengzhi is better than that of boxed. But that was just the original. Now many stores have switched to distribution, and the script market does not have a so-called quality standard. The quality is boxed, and there is a limit to what kind of quality there is, so the overall quality is still mixed.”

"Then why do people over there want you to distribute the city limits? If the quality of the books is very good, you should make more money by selling the boxed copies than the city limits, right?" Jiang Qi didn't quite understand.

In his opinion, limited-edition models sold at high prices are definitely not as profitable as affordable models, at least that's the case with toy peripherals in amusement parks.

Just like the board games that Principal Peggy is currently developing, Principal Peggy's pricing for the first batch of board games is very cheap. In Principal Peggy’s view, board games are extremely easy to imitate and are prone to piracy once they become popular. The best sales model to quickly capture the market is to make small profits but quick turnover.

There are fixed factories here in the amusement park, and the cost of mass production is definitely lower than piracy.

As long as the amusement park lowers the price first and takes the path of piracy so that piracy has nowhere to go, and seizes the market first, then it will launch hardcover editions, deluxe editions, and Spring Festival limited editions with more comprehensive gameplay and higher prices. , the New Year Special Edition is very easy.

Of course, the above are all Principal Peggy’s personal thoughts.

Jiang Qi is indifferent to whether board games make money or not. Board games are a means of publicity for amusement parks, and making money is the second and first priority.

It’s not like there are no industries where amusement parks are currently losing money for publicity, and comics are one of them.

The comic group is still losing money, and the income from online comic subscriptions alone is not enough to pay for the huge advertising put out by the publicity department, but the comic itself is to promote the toys.

Every cent invested in comics will eventually be earned back through toy sales.

Therefore, Jiang Qi has no problem with Peggy trying to seize the market at a low price. Let alone small profits but quick turnover, even if he makes no profit or even loses money, as long as he promotes the Incredible Magic Academy, it will be worthwhile.

Of course, selling things is not to make money. This is just the idea of ​​​​rich bosses like Jiang Qi and Peggy who are for publicity and have confidence. Jiang Jun is just the owner of a script-killing shop. He doesn't sell books to make money but to contribute to the script-killing industry. Jiang Qi doesn't believe this nonsense.

Jiang Qi looked at Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun smiled bitterly: "If the quality of the script is excellent, then of course there is no problem in selling it according to your idea, Boss Jiang, but..."

"As store owners, Lao Cao and I have read the scripts over the years, and we have a certain aesthetic ability for the scripts themselves. We know how much the script we wrote weighs, and we can only say that it is acceptable. It has a certain commercial nature, and if you can promote it, it should be able to sell well, but Dabao doesn’t even think about it.”

Jiang Qi nodded to express his understanding. If the script itself is of such a high quality, then publicity is very important.

For the store, unless you go to the exhibition to test the book in person or watch it, buying a book is like opening a blind box. I don’t know anything except the poster, cover art, introduction and real name.

In this case, if the release is highly publicized and a new copy becomes particularly famous and many customers who play the copy want to play it, then it is normal for the store to buy it without thinking.

I don’t know how many crappy copies are sold every year using this method. First, I make a huge profit by spending a lot of money on advertising, and then I count the money at home after getting bad reviews.

Jiang Qi also understands Jiang Jun's character and knows that she hates this kind of publicity. After all, JC was deceived into buying a lot of bad books because of this kind of publicity in the past few years.

"If the quality is not good, why should we issue city limits?"

"Because the other party promised that if the city is limited, they can help us sell 300 copies."

Jiang Qi made an estimate in his mind. If one book cost 2,000 yuan, 300 copies would be 600,000 yuan. After excluding the costs, publicity, and money given to the author, Jiang Jun should be able to earn almost 200,000.

That's a lot.

"Sounds good, but what about the conditions over there?"

"They name themselves as producers and take a 20% profit."

"It sounds pretty good. It's also a producer, helps with publicity, and gets a 20% profit, which isn't much."

Jiang Jun shook his head: "They only name it but don't publicize it."

Jiang Qi:? ? ?

"In the words of the other party, they can sell 300 copies with just one name."

Jiang Qi:......

Jiang Qi silently looked at the ceiling and felt that the shape of this ceiling lamp was really nice and unique.

He looked at Jiang Jun silently again, and felt that Jiang Jun didn't look like a fool either. Why were liars these days not willing to make up stories?

Telecom fraudsters work much harder than them, making phone calls every day, while those engaging in foreign fraud have to improve their English. This comparison is quite inspiring.

"Are you sure the person you contacted is the publisher?" Jiang Qi said tactfully.

Jiang Jun did not answer: "Lao Cao and I are not stupid. Maybe they are somewhat famous, but we don't think their fame is worth the price."

Jiang Qi nodded wildly.

Then he found Jiang Jun looking directly at him.

Jiang Qi:?

? ?

? ? ?

Jiang Qi silently sat back a little, his whole body almost pressed against the back of the chair, with a cautious look on his face: "Don't you think I am famous..."

Jiang Jun nodded heavily.

"We know that even if we sell 500 copies, you, the boss of Sancheng Lijiang, probably won't look down on you. But this is the most profit we can make. This book was not written by Lao Cao and I. We have to share the money with the author and pay back There are printing costs, and we may have to run a few more exhibitions in addition to the autumn exhibition, and we won’t be able to make any profit no matter how much profit we make.”

"The book that will be tested tomorrow is this one. You can first look at the quality of the book before deciding whether to name it as a producer. Although this is not a book of such good quality, we can guarantee that it is not a bad book and will not disgrace the Galaxy Script Club. reputation."

"In terms of publicity, we will not use your store's name for excessive publicity. All publicity plans will be communicated to you in advance."

Jiang Jun's attitude can be said to be very low-key.

Jiang Qi:......

How can you not be stupid? You are simply mired in fraud!

Jiang Jun, Boss Jiang, aren’t you an inspirational representative of the Xuncheng script killing circle and starting from scratch?

Don’t you firmly believe that doing business should be down-to-earth, step by step, and not opportunistic or evil?

What's wrong with you, Boss Jiang?

You have just been brainwashed by that liar!

Jiang Qi thought for a while: "There is a foreign grandmother in our amusement park recently. She is proficient in various fraud methods and knows many fraud cases. Do you want me to contact her and you two can find a time to make an appointment to communicate."

Jiang Jun heard the implication of Jiang Qi's words and showed a disappointed expression: "I probably understand, Boss Jiang, you are not interested in this kind of thing, so do you still want to participate in tomorrow's book test?"

"It's not that I'm not interested..." Jiang Qi hesitated. He was very interested in distribution. After all, he had to go to the exhibition to sell board games.

JC intends to be a publisher and get into the publishing circle. It will be much more convenient for Jiang Qi to help sell board games directly through Jiang Jun.

It's not that he thinks it's impossible to be a producer, he just doesn't want to be a fraudster.

Jiang Qi might be quite interested in becoming a fraudster for 300 million, but it is really unnecessary to become a fraudster for 300,000.

Doing nothing and getting 30% profit is something even the underworld would not dare to do.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call to consult."

Jiang Jun nodded and left the room thoughtfully, so that Jiang Qi could make phone calls in the room without worries.

Of course, Jiang Qi’s consultation target was Principal Peggy.

Principal Peggy doesn't really agree with taking 30% of the profits for doing nothing.

Although Principal Peggy is a well-known big capitalist in the magical world, and has always been on the edge of the law and even stepped directly into it (who said many countries in the magical world have no laws), Principal Peggy also feels that there is no need to do this for small money. Immoral things.

Morality and reputation are very precious and should be spent on big money.

"Mr. Jiang Qi, if you really think Miss Jiang Jun is a trustworthy ally, and if you trust her enough and are willing to help her, I have a method here."

"If I remember correctly, the special card [Script Writer] is now installed on your computer, and this computer is currently placed in Car No. 1 of the train's Da Da theme hotel."

"That's right." Jiang Qi said with certainty, "[Script Writer] is now managed by playwrights. Since it became three stars, the chance of producing high-quality scripts has been much greater. Playwrights are now busy revising scripts and arranging new plays every day. You Do you want to use the [Script Writer] to write a killing script?"

Since the [Script Writer] was summoned, it has not written many script-killing scripts. At first, it was used as a story writer for the Toy Spirits, specializing in generating movie scripts. Later, the playwright was pulled out by Jiang Qi, and the [Script Writer] was used to write drama scripts.

At first, when Wang Xinghua couldn't write the lyrics, she also had the idea of ​​using a "script writer", but there was still a big gap between opera scripts and ordinary scripts.

Lyrics are meant to be sung, and you must consider not only the rhyme, the storyline, but also the literary talent. Even if the [Script Writer] has three stars, it is difficult for powerful software to generate lyrics for a top-notch play like "The Mulberry Picking Girl", and it cannot be generated at all.

The libretto cannot be generated, but the script will definitely be no problem.

After all, this is the specialty of [Script Writer].

In the original world, didn't Mr. X rely on the [Script Writer] to dominate the script killing circle, and was eventually murdered?

"It's not writing, it's correcting." Principal Peggy corrected.

"change?"

"Mr. Jiang Qi, you don't want to be a serious publisher selling scripts, right?" Principal Peggy asked.

"certainly."

"That's why I said it was editing, not writing." Principal Peggy said, "Isn't the script from Miss Jiang Jun just a passing work of acceptable quality? Since you want to sell board games with her help, Miss Jiang Jun He is also a trustworthy person, and you don’t want to take 30% profit for nothing but do nothing, so let’s do something to prove that we are qualified to take 30% profit.”

"They have already established the framework and foundation of the script. We just need to polish it a little and change the 60-point work into a 90-point one." Principal Peggy said in an understatement.

Jiang Qi felt suddenly enlightened.

.

An hour later, JC staff lounge.

The staff lounge is now much more lively than before. In the small room, there are not only Jiang Qi and Jiang Jun, but also Cao Luoping, Li Liang and Jiang Cha.

Li Liang is the author of JC's upcoming new book and is a friend of Cao Luoping.

New author Li Liang looked nervously at Jiang Cha, who was reading the book quickly and calmly. Not to mention he was a little nervous, Jiang Jun and Cao Luoping were both a little nervous.

"What's going on now?" Cao Luoping asked Jiang Jun in a low voice.

"Didn't I tell you? Jiang Qi agreed to be a nominal producer, but he needs to find a professional to check the quality of the script." Jiang Jun replied softly, "But this girl doesn't seem to be from their script shop. I think With..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cha, who had finished reading the book, closed it.

Jiang Jun shut up instantly, and the three members of JC immediately sat up straight, with their backs as straight as primary school students waiting for the teacher to check.

"I've finished reading it. It's just as you said, normal." Jiang Cha said with a smile, her voice and tone were her standard soft tone.

Li Liang was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva: "Yes...what's the problem? There is still time. If there is, I can..."

Under Jiang Cha's smiling gaze, Li Liang struggled to say the last word.

"change."

"In my opinion, it needs to be changed, but it's up to us." Jiang Cha said.

"Do you want to change it?" Cao Luoping was a little confused and looked at Jiang Qi, "Boss Jiang, do you have any professional writers here?"

Jiang Cha stood up and stretched out his hand towards Cao Luoping: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Cha. I am the financial director of Galaxy Script Theme Park."

"Before I was transferred to Galaxy Script Theme Park, I worked at the Card Game Studio."

Three people:!

"Regarding this script, I think the overall structure is not a big problem. Our boss feels that if we want to cooperate, both parties must show sincerity."

"We can't take the 30% profit in vain. We won't do much in terms of publicity, but we can provide some help in terms of script quality. If you three don't mind, I think tomorrow afternoon's test script can be temporarily canceled. I took a copy of the script back to my contact person for revision, and the product is expected to be ready within two days.”

"There is no need for a nominal producer. Let's just jointly publish it." Jiang Cha looked at Li Liang and said, "Mr. Li is the author. Do you mind?"

Li Liang shook his head dazedly: "I don't mind. I don't mind."

Jiang Cha continued to smile: "That's good. Since this is a formal cooperation, our amusement park will let the lawyer draw up the relevant contract. We will discuss the specific details after the contract is revised."

"It's getting late now, so we'll leave first."

Jiang Cha and Jiang Qi left JC. Almost as soon as they walked out of the door, Jiang Cha took out the overtime regulations and showed them to Jiang Qi: "Boss, was it considered overtime just now?"

"This is temporary overtime."

"Do the math." Jiang Qi nodded repeatedly, "Go back and calculate the overtime wages yourself. Qiu Zhan will take you with him."

"Seven days, just like Wang Xinghua, 30,000 yuan in travel expenses."

Jiang Cha showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, boss."

Among the three people in JC's office, there were others who seemed to be in a dream.

Li Liang looked at Cao Luoping: "Old Cao, what's the situation now? Are we hugging each other?"

"It turns out that the card game studio is really related to Jiang Qi. Is the rumor true that the card game studio is also opened by Jiang Qi?" Jiang Jun murmured, getting caught up in the gossip in his head.

Cao Luoping thought for a while: "Maybe..."

"Then if this book sells out, should I distribute it?" Li Liang began to dream.

Cao Luoping glanced at his friend: "You are no longer the sole author. If someone helps you revise the book, you will definitely have to have an author's name, and the manuscript fee may be divided in half."

"Half and half is fine!" Li Liang didn't mind at all. "As long as you make more than before, that person you contacted will earn 20% of the profit if he doesn't do anything. If you calculate based on the previous situation, I The author could only get 20% in the end.”

Suddenly, Jiang Jun slapped Cao Luoping on the shoulder.

"Old Cao, have you bought the tickets for the Autumn Exhibition?"

"I bought it."

"Did you buy Jiang Qi's?"

"This should be him..."

"Are you stupid? Jiang Qi usually doesn't even care about the script store. Yan Huaiyou bought the tickets for him last time he went to the autumn exhibition. I taught him how to grab a parking space. How could he know how to buy tickets? Pick a room.”

"Hurry up and ask Jiang Qi to buy the highest-grade issuance tickets for Jiang Qi. I'll also help him get the advertising space. The flyers... I think we have to print the flyers for him too. Doesn't he want to sell board games? He will definitely use them. "

"Oh oh oh, okay."

"Okay, okay, let's go contact someone."

"But honey, it's already 11 o'clock in the evening."

Jiang Jun said with hatred: "It's only 11 o'clock. Who in the script industry is not awake? Why don't you contact your friends quickly!"

"Good wife."
