Compared with the adaptation of famous works and classic works, the adaptation of popular online novels does not have the limitations of "working behind closed doors" in the creation of professional screenwriters. On the contrary, because of the interaction with netizens at any time during the creation process, the work is almost "zero distance" from market demand.
Its openness and freshness are strengths that other works do not have, so it quickly attracted audiences when it was put on the screen.
Movies and TV series adapted from online novels may still be relatively new now, but in a few years they will become more normal. This has been proven by so many blockbuster movies in later generations.
In order for current TV dramas to boost ratings, they must target effective viewing groups. Each TV station has set its target audience as a group of white-collar workers in their twenties and thirties. This group’s reading habits tend to browse information online, and their consumption
Desire and consumption power are also the strongest. Today’s TV dramas mainly use the themes that white-collar workers who usually like to surf the Internet like and pay attention to to form a new release point.
Later works such as "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are all examples of this. The popularity of online novels has also made the cost of adaptation copyrights rise.
For example, the now popular online novel "Tomb Raiders" was very cheap at the beginning, but after the three volumes came out, it became very popular. The copyright for the adaptation is worth millions. It is a dynamic process, because
Most of the people who write novels on the Internet are unknown and grassroots writers. They are very talented and talented, but they are not famous enough. If they are good at discovering this kind of works, it will be beneficial to both parties.
Of course, compared with the overall author's copyright fee, it is still relatively small. In recent years, the copyright price of popular online novels has been rising, but for the producer, it can still be regarded as "high quality and low price".
The sales price of the film and television adaptation rights of popular online novels is around 100,000, while the copyright fees for novels adapted into film and television dramas by famous writers such as Yan Geling often exceed one million. In comparison, online novels can be said to be extremely "cost-effective"
After all, there are only a few online novels that can reach millions. Although it has become fashionable to adapt online novels, and copyright prices have begun to rise, but compared with the copyright fees of well-known writers, which often reach millions, the average price is only around 100,000.
The rights to film and television adaptations of online novels are definitely cheap and cost-effective. A screenwriter told reporters that because online novels are still a bit "unjustified", and online authors do not have the popularity and social status of traditional novel writers, limited to this situation,
Many publishing houses and online authors are eager to increase their popularity and expand their channels for fame through the adaptation of film and television dramas. Therefore, for the film and television adaptation rights that come to them, there will be "half-sale, half-free" or even packages and gifts at low prices.
It is conceivable
The copyright fee for a well-known online novel is between 100,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan. This figure is only equivalent to the price of one episode of a popular TV series. If compared with the expensive copyright fees for film and television dramas by Yan Geling, Liuliu and others, it is absolutely
It’s not surprising when you think about it. Compared with traditional screenwriters who have fixed thinking patterns and few exciting creative points, online novels are often full of creativity and cheap, so it’s unreasonable not to use them.
There are indeed some online drama adaptations, but none of them are particularly popular. For example, "The Days of Living with a Stewardess". Although this novel is famous, it has not become very popular after being adapted into a TV series.
This makes some companies that try to adapt novels shrink back. After all, they always fail, and they feel that they can't see the future. But this is the trend, this is the trend of the future, because the taste of the audience is improving rapidly, and screenwriters
There are still the same few, especially the popular editors. It seems that there are only the same few, and they are getting older and older. Slowly, more and more viewers are complaining.
Compared with those screenwriters with aging minds, online novels are undoubtedly much better. Even for your own development, you must choose those online novels. The final facts prove that the strength of the best in online novels, "
"Jingxin at Every Step", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", etc., are among the best
Not only is it not too late to join this trend, but also, in Zhang Yicheng’s opinion, it should be quite early.
"Have you done any investigation?" Zhang Yicheng asked
"Yes, according to our survey, there are three types of novels currently on the market that are more worthy of adaptation!" William explained, "The first type is marriage and love ethics dramas!"
Zhang Yicheng nodded, this is indeed correct. In his previous life, "The Age of Naked Marriage" was very popular after it was broadcast. Now, "My Best Mother-in-law", "Don't Mess with the Mother-in-law", "Entering the City", "Too Too Lazy to Get Married",
The copyrights of many realistic-themed online novels such as "Marriage Guard", "Diary of a Seminary Girl", and "A Girl at Thirty" have also been bought by film and television companies.
Basically, a large number of marriage ethics dramas appear on TV screens
"The second category is the palace-traveling drama!"
These days, period dramas and costume dramas have always dominated the TV screen, and there are a large number of online novels based on the Republic of China and ancient times. This has led to a large number of period dramas and costume dramas looking for materials in online novels. It is understood that
, Shanda Literature has sold period costume and Republic of China-themed works including "Once Promised", "Step by Step Lotus", "Xing Mingshi Ye", "Poison Rouge", "Pear Blossoms in Bloom", "Graceful Dawn", "Tang Dynasty"
"Good Doctor", "The Concubine Is Not Enough", etc.
"The third category is idol dramas!"
At present, including Hunan Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV, they are focusing on capturing younger audiences. Fashion idol dramas that are loved by young people and can embed a large number of advertisements are gradually emerging. Romance novels that have a certain popularity and reputation in the market have become one of the sources of scripts.
One of them is Ming Xiaoxi, a star writer under the "Memory Workshop", whose works such as "Summer of Bubbles", "Rose That Night", "There Will Be Angels Love You for Me", "The Invincible Fairy Tale", etc.
Copyright sales have been completed, and some of the copyrights have been purchased by Taiwanese buyers
"These are generally recognized by everyone, but this does not include me!" William said, "I personally think that these novels are good, but they are only suitable for being adapted into TV series. But if they are adapted into TV series, I am more optimistic about fantasy.
Or fairy novels!"
William explained calmly.
