Chapter 134 The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
No one knew what happened between Li Chungang and Jin Chen in Room 1406 of the Hilton Hotel that day, and what they talked about between them. The two of them kept silent about it.
All I know is that after a period of time, Li Chungang posted a photo of himself and Jin Chen on Weibo.
All I know is that not long after Pan Yueming became the male number one in "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern", Jin Chen successfully became the actor of the female number one Shirley Yang in "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern".

There are no airtight windows in this world, and Li Chungang didn't think it was such a serious matter. When he was alone in the room again, he briefly explained the matter to Luo Wen.
then......
On the second day after Thompson left, in the morning meeting held by Long Teng as usual, some people who got the news brought up the matter and said it in the meeting, which immediately aroused heated discussions among the editors, especially Li Chungang bluntly said that Thompson Don't choose "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be published overseas, but choose another work of your own.
Although there is nothing to say, it still makes many people feel unhappy. You must know that the various copyrights of Li Chungang's work "Fighting Knife in the Snow" after signing the great agreement will no longer be owned by Long Teng. In this way, there is no profit sharing.
In addition, both the publishing copyright of the physical book and the copyright of film and television adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have been sold, and the small ones such as audio copyright and broadcasting copyright have also been sold long ago, and the remaining value that can be tapped is already Not many, the copyright of the game adaptation is too dependent on luck, translation into English and published overseas has naturally become the only hope left for Longteng.
The displeasure in their hearts turned into displeasure, and before Longteng's current biggest person in charge, Hua Chen, did not dare to speak up, they could only complain in private.
Huanxue: "Our website is always thinking of him, but we didn't expect to think only of ourselves at critical moments."
Nightmare: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with that, and besides, it's their freedom to publish whichever book Random House wants to publish."
Qianmo: "Eating salty radish is nothing to worry about, it's not our turn to talk about it."
Huanxue: "It's true to say so, but it's always a bit unpleasant no matter how you think about it, think about it..."
Taishan: "Didn't you realize how ugly the editor-in-chief's face was at the morning meeting this morning, and he will have to report to the group head office at that time."
Qilin: "Natou Natou, you haven't contacted Zhichun Zhigang to ask what's going on.
"
Natto: "I... I don't know, but I believe that he should have his own considerations in it."
As Li Chungang's direct editor in Longteng, Natto was naturally willing to trust Li Chungang and stand by his side.
...
The fact that Li Chungang asked Thompson not to publish "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" but to publish another unpublished new work of his has quickly spread throughout the Internet literary world. Reviews are mixed.
It was said that Li Chungang was ungrateful, but Long Teng raised him, but he only cared about his own interests.
There are also people who support Li Chungang's approach. After all, Random House did not explicitly say that "Ghost Blowing Lantern" must be published, nor did it say that "Ghost Blowing Lantern" will not be published, and they are angry with those brainless trolls who are black for black.
An insider quietly revealed a piece of news: a buddy of the landlord in the United States happened to meet Random House on the street and was conducting a general street survey. Books", the combination of the two key words of oriental and adventure can easily make people think of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Obviously, Random House did not give up completely because of Li Chungang's words.
Some people even cited dozens of examples with more than a thousand words to support Li Chungang's approach, thinking that he was extremely correct in not choosing "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" as the first book to enter overseas.
Not to mention the controversy caused by Li Chungang's actions in the online literature circle, Li Chungang, who promised to visit the Shanghai branch of Random House with the content of the new book the day after tomorrow, completely "locked" himself in the hotel the next day in the room.
Don't walk outside the gate, even food and drink are all delivered to the room by the hotel's service staff.
It was Li Chungang's temporary idea to choose another work to publish overseas, so when he finally chose which work to choose, he fell into entanglement.
It is really because there are too many excellent works, which makes Li Chungang feel like he is suffering from the advanced stage of choice difficulty.
Finally, under the screening and recommendation of the system, there are two last options:
The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has many laurels such as "the originator of modern fantasy literature", "the book of the 20th century", "the most important book in the past two thousand years".
Also, in another plane, among the top ten best-selling books in the world, "Harry Potter" ranks only after "Lord of the Rings".
"System, which one do you think is better to choose?"
【The Lord of the Rings Trilogy】
"Why? You should have a reason for recommending this."
[Because you are poor! 】
After hearing the system's answer, Li Chungang was struck by lightning. In the eyes of the system, he, who has become a multi-millionaire and is about to become a billionaire, is actually a poor person. Or is it that the system uses their M78 nebula as the standard to measure the rich and the poor? Is the level a standard?
Otherwise, who would treat a billionaire as a poor person.
[Based on the host's current savings and the comprehensive calculation of the cost performance that the two series can bring, the final answer is that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is more suitable for the host. 】
"Okay, let's start with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I can't wait for the long-lost chance to enjoy the epic blockbuster in person!"

As soon as the sound of the system ended, Li Chungang had already entered the world called "Lord of the Rings"...

Sad people like to turn grief and anger into strength, but the next day Li Chungang completely turned his heartache into the power of code words, sitting in front of his laptop and typing on the keyboard frantically.
"Fighting Knife in the Snow": 140+ million collections; monthly pass: 1.15+ million.
Looking at Longteng's current monthly ticket rankings, "Fighting Knives in the Snow" is currently ranked third, and is ahead of the guy in fourth place with more than 100,000 monthly tickets. This makes Li Chungang very relieved. There is no need to worry about the danger of being "flowered" by the fourth place in a short period of time.
Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is, and the third place in the monthly ticket list of the month will not only get a reward of 100,000, but what is really important is a first-level channel recommendation in the next month! The second place is 200,000 plus 2 first-level channel recommendations; the first place is 300,000 plus 3 first-level channel recommendations.
Because of the whole month's interruption, Li Chungang is still very satisfied with his ranking in the third place in the monthly ticket.
"Let's start taking first place next month!"
