Chapter 479 Headquarters Tour, Take the Copyright (Ask for Subscription!)
The headquarters of China Literature is a five-story office building, a bit like Xia Yu's one in Xintiandi, which is short and small, but the five floors are crammed with employees, and only one and a half of his five floors are used for office, and the remaining half floor is empty, one floor is for business, and two floors are used as garages.
When the eighty parking spaces on the second and third floors are full, Xia Yu will almost consider moving the headquarters, and then vacate the fourth and fifth floors and turn them into museums.
Looking for a place to park the car, Xia Yu and the four of them went straight to the lobby on the first floor of the office building and explained their intentions to the front desk.
"Sir, please wait a moment, the head of the copyright management department will come down to pick you up immediately. ”
Only one supervisor?
With Xia Yu's current identity, not to mention the CEO coming to greet him in person, there must be a president and vice president!
That's right, but how do people know who Xia Yu is, Xia's Pictures is just a new company that has been established for more than a month, and has not produced or produced an influential work.
In addition, it is only a small business to talk about, and it is already very face-saving to be received by the department head, you must know that it is a large entertainment group owned by Penguin.
Alas, to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is still too late for the system, otherwise there is no such thing as a penguin, and in 14 years he acquired .asxs.
"Mr. Xia, Miss Yin, Miss Ding, hello to you, I'm Wang Xinhu, the manager of the copyright management department of China Literature. ”
Soon, a middle-aged man with slightly thinning hair and looking more energetic came down in the elevator.
"Hello, Manager Wang, it's a pleasure to come to China Literature, I am also your loyal reader, 14 years of high V, I didn't expect to have a day to talk about cooperation with China Literature. ”
Xia Yu and Wang Xinhu shook hands, skillfully arranged.
"That's really fateful, why don't I take you to visit our group first!"
"I can't ask for it, please!"
"Please!"
After all, those who hit the street can't come here, and those who can come are the gods who can talk about contracts with China Literature, and the Lv5 long-term contract is not qualified.
Starting from the first floor, each floor turned around, and many male employees couldn't help but look at their combination of handsome guys and beautiful women.
When did their company have such a beautiful young lady?
The sharp-eyed ones have already recognized Wang Xinhu and know that this is the big man in charge of copyright, and he will definitely come to talk about cooperation with him.
Sure enough, it is impossible for an Internet entertainment company like them to have beautiful women, maybe they are actors!
Xia Yu took a general look, the atmosphere here is not the same as his company, it should be the difference between an Internet company and a traditional catering company.
It's a pity that the Internet has passed, only the fight between giant crocodiles remains, it is impossible for him to do the Internet, but he can seize the Internet + market through the technology industry.
As soon as their thinking diverged, they came to the editorial office of China Literature, and sitting here, Xia Yu knew more than a dozen editors-in-charge of male frequency, but they were not the right people.
"Biscuits, come here!"
Wang Xinhu shouted at a corner of the editorial office, and stood up alone.
Biscuits, the editor-in-chief of the .asxs. genesis military category, because the military is smaller than the sports next door, so the editor-in-chief of .asxs. Genesis is in charge of both sides, and there is only one responsible editor under him.
He must know about the book "Spy Shadow of the Republic of China", so he will call him when talking about copyright.
didn't say much to greet, and the group went directly to the conference room next door to start the negotiation of film and television copyrights.
It stands to reason that Penguin has its own film company, so wouldn't it be possible to maximize the benefits of China Literature's own shooting?
That being said, but the Penguin family has a big business, and there are so many works of great gods, where to shoot it, it is really to maximize the benefits by selling a part of the copyright that is not of high value.
In the eyes of the upper echelons, "Spy of the Republic of China" at this time belongs to the kind of copyright that is not of high value, but in the end, it is his own child, and he must sell it at a good price.
In terms of price, the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war.
Xia Yu's bargaining skills do not need to be questioned, but he wants to exercise his senior sister, so he gives up the main attack position, assumes the assistance himself, and controls the progress of the negotiation.
Wang Xinhu thought that he should be able to make a fortune when he met the kind of film and television company with a hot second generation head, but he didn't think it would be so difficult, especially this Xia Yu, who has maturity and shrewdness that does not fit his age, he originally had the upper hand, but he was picked by others in a few words, and he had no advantage.
"Mr. Xia, two million, really can't be less, although this book has not yet entered the high-quality product, but it is a rare military masterpiece in recent years, our group has invested a little bit of resources to push, it will definitely be popular. ”
Xu saw that Xia Yu was the real decision-maker, and Wang Xinhu was no longer arguing with Yin Suya, so he directly aimed his firepower at him.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, all the data in this book are good, as long as you tilt a certain amount of resources, you will definitely be able to get up. ”
Biscuit also helped to say that he must have to say good things about his books.
"Manager Wang, the editor-in-chief of cookies, I believe in your operational ability, but I am also an old .asxs. user, operation is always the icing on the cake, everything depends on the quality of the story itself. ”
"One million eight million!"
Wang Xinhu made concessions, who made an old bookworm like Xia Yu the most difficult to fool!
"One and a half million, we can sign a contract now, as our company's first project, it will start shooting in the second half of the year, and it will be broadcast on the stars at the beginning of next year, feeding back the online sales of this book. ”
"Okay, that's the price!"
Xia Yu took the price just right, and Wang Xinhu finally chose to agree.
After drafting the standard contract, Xia Yu's lawyer reviewed it and confirmed that there were no other problems, and both parties signed and sealed the copyright transaction.
The editor-in-chief of the author's side has already confirmed his intention, and China Literature is solely responsible, so there is no need to ask again.
"Then that's it for today, when the TV series starts, I'll invite Manager Wang and Biscuits for dinner. ”
"We must go, we must go then. ”
There is a provision in the contract that Xia Yu only bought 8 years of film and television copyrights, which means that if the project is not established for 8 years, the filming will not start, and the copyright will be automatically recovered.
In addition, the time limit is also the general trend of film and television copyright trading, because people are also afraid that you will hoard copyright at a low price, just like hoarding land and not building a house.
Xia Yu can't do this kind of thing, he is not a reborn, he knows what copyright is worth, he buys it and keeps it first, he must shoot it if he buys it, and he has to shoot it well to earn enough reputation.
The film and television industry is the future publicity outlet of the group, and the image must be positive, and the scale cannot be too small, otherwise it will not be able to keep up with the pace of development of the parent company.
After coming out of Yuewen, Xia Yu and the others went back to the company directly, busy looking for screenwriters and TV series projects. chaptere
