Chapter 133 IP Adaptation (Part 1, Seeking Everything)
"Mr. Zheng, our first-generation drone of DJI is undergoing final debugging. This drone has a maximum remote control distance of about 3,000 meters and has aerial photography function."
"The R&D Department is planning to design a second-generation drone, which can be remotely controlled at 6,000 meters, and adds automatic follow-up function."
"The company is still recruiting, and various departments are in short supply of staff. Vice President Guo has transferred some people to fill in some departments. Now the company can barely operate."
"About production, Ran Ran and I discussed planning to prepare factories, and the early supply of goods will be manufactured by our own factories. If the sales volume is large in the later stage, we may look for OEM. After all, we are the first company to make civil drones, and major OEM factories do not have this experience, so OEM is probably not easy to find."
In DJI Technology Company, in the general manager's office, Qian Jun gave Zheng Ge a cup of tea and briefly described the recent situation.
"Planning your own factory? How to get the production line?"
Zheng Ge asked.
"My uncle is looking for contact and is preparing to join the army/factory to buy two production lines and deal with it temporarily." Qian Jun said.
Zheng Ge: "..." There is a great uncle, just good, "No, are there any difficulties in other aspects?"
Qian Jun looked worried, "Everything goes well for the time being, but when it really enters the market, I'm afraid it will..."
Ran Ran and the others also looked nervous.
After all, drones are valuable products.
Or it is a luxury item, not a necessity.
For example, Qian Jun and the others planned to price 12,000 yuan for the first generation of civilian drones, which directly blocked most people. These days, there are not many people who are willing to spend more than 10,000 yuan to buy an electronic product.
Not that I can't afford it.
The main reason is that I am reluctant to let go.
If you really want to buy it, most people can buy it.
"Mr. Zheng, I think the price is 12,000 yuan, which is really a bit expensive. Otherwise, let's drop a little?"
Ran Ran frowned.
“I think the price reduction is inappropriate.”
Qian Jun shook his head, "Our product is the world's first civilian drone. If the price is set very low from the beginning, it is equivalent to setting the tone. It will be difficult to raise the price in the future. I think it is better to reduce the price until the second-generation drone is launched."
Zheng Ge remained silent.
Think about it, I think about the first mobile phone back then, how high was the price when it first came out?
There are tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
What did the mobile phones look like at that time? They all looked like big bricks, but they were very expensive.
Because at that time, mobile phones were still luxury accessories and rare things.
"You are discussing the price, but it's a bit early to talk about these things now. What you need to do now is to run the company as soon as possible. If you need help, you can contact Mr. Guo. In addition, you must also hurry up and do not relax in the R&D. After the second-generation R&D is successful, continue to develop the third, fourth and fifth generations. After our drones are launched, it may not take long before someone will come out to compete with us for the market. We must be prepared for this."
Zheng Ge said seriously.
Qian Jun, Ran Ran and the others nodded.
Then he explained something, and Zheng Ge got up and left DJI.
...
Walking out of the building, Zheng Ge was about to greet A Zheng and drove home.
At this time, he received a call from Zhou Zhou.
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, good news."
Zhou Zhou's excited voice came over.
Zheng Ge stood by the car, holding his cell phone, listening to Zhou Zhou's excited voice, and was speechless, "I said Miss Zhou, you are the editor-in-chief now. You must know how to control your mood and not just whine when you encounter something. Let your subordinates see it, the impact is bad."
Zhou Zhou: "…"
I'm anxious to tell you something good news and I'm going to be scolded!
She immediately said: "Mr. Zheng, we Qihang Chinese.com, one of them was attracted by a director. I wanted to buy the copyright and adapt it into a TV series."
Zheng Ge was stunned and said, "Adapted?"
IP adaptation is not very popular in this world.
But in my previous life, I was familiar with it.
In his previous life, countless online articles were changed into TV series, online dramas, movies, etc.
Although most of them have failed.
Of course, there are also some that are very successful, such as Hua Qiangu, Yu Zui, etc.
Hey! Hua Qiangu seems to be adapted from IP.
Zheng Ge can't remember it very clearly.
But in his previous life, IP was indeed very popular. Although he became a little cold on the eve of his time travel.
In this world, Zheng Ge also has plans to develop IP. However, the development time of online literature here is too short after all, and it only takes two months to complete the plan.
There are not many books in the library yet, how can I make IP?
"Yes, this director is very famous. His name is Monday. You should have heard of it. The TV series he filmed by him have basically all had a huge rating. I feel that if the adaptation is successful this time, our reputation as Qihang Chinese website will definitely soar."
Zhou Zhou was excited and she had long regarded Qihang Chinese as her career.
With Zheng Ge's consent, Xi Meng and Zhou Zhou signed an agreement. As long as Zhou Zhou could operate Qihang Chinese to a certain scale, she would pay a portion of her equity dividends.
Of course, it is just the equity dividend of Qihang Chinese.
Therefore, she was also worried about the development of Qihang Chinese.com.
"What's the name of the adapted book?"
Zheng Ge asked.
"Sword and Fairyland, yes! According to your classification, this book belongs to the female frequency."
Zhou Zhou said.
Zheng Ge held his forehead.
Sure enough, it is still easy to adapt female adaptations.
The same was true in previous lives.
Most of the adaptations are successful in female dramas.
And male frequency, basically change one and beat one.
I remember that the most successful male drama is "Yu Zui" or an online drama, but unfortunately it was removed from the shelves later.
"What's the data in this book?"
Zheng Ge asked.
Zhou Zhou said: "The data is not particularly good. It's 100,000 clicks, and it's about 30 on the rankings. Compared with several male phones with more than one million clicks, the data in this book is not very good."
"But I heard from the director on Monday that this book is easy to adapt, and some elements in this book are also very suitable for TV series. Those male-frequency ones are not easy to modify. The key is that the special effects are too complicated."
"Well! It's too expensive. I heard from the director on Monday that the most popular male frequency on our website, if adapted, would probably have to be hundreds of millions of special effects alone, which is too expensive."
Zheng Ge nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Network literature is just starting now, and we still need to do a lot. For example, the company needs to make a profit in the later stage, etc. After all, the company needs to make a profit. As for IP adaptation, it is also a major trend in the future."
"In the future, there will be film and television adaptations, but also various adaptations such as games, animations, comics, etc. Therefore, I suggest that IP copyright control will be stricter in the early stage. Especially for those excellent IPs, don't rush to make moves. Let's wait until the price in the future will come."
