Chapter 239 Overseas Copyright

Li Chengru was directly stunned by Yi Qing's words, and his head didn't react for a long time.

Overseas Copyright?

What is Overseas Copyright?

I've never heard of it before!

"Wait, wait, what's the matter with that ~~~~~~~ overseas copyright you just mentioned?"

The film and television dramas filmed in Chinese mainland have not been sent abroad before, but they are basically sent to friendly countries for free and are regarded as cultural aid materials.

The overseas copyright that he won, this is the goal that Yi Qing has set a long time ago, and he can't even think about the domestic broadcast income, besides, at the moment, how much income can this part have.

Overseas is the real big one.

In the previous life, the 86 version was also broadcast overseas, but no one knows how the copyright was done, there were rumors on the Internet that the overseas copyright of the 86 version had been sold a long time ago, and it was not only the overseas copyright that was sold at that time, because the leaders of CCTV did not understand the copyright thing, and even the domestic copyright was sold.

The credibility of this statement is not high, but the copyright is sold, it should be true, otherwise, if it is broadcast abroad so many times, no matter how slow the CCTV leaders are, the court summons should have been sent.

It's hard to say how much it sold, and it's very likely to be the price of a cabbage.

Now that he has the opportunity, Yi Qing certainly wants to take down the overseas copyright, which is better than cheapening foreigners.

Thinking about it, Yi Qing explained: "The overseas copyright I am talking about, the simple explanation is that after the filming is completed, CCTV can only enjoy all the copyright income in China, and if you leave the mainland, the rest of the copyright income will belong to me!"

Now Li Chengru understands it, but he still doesn't understand why Yi Qing values the overseas copyright of this bullshit: "Xiao Yi, I still have to advise you to be cautious about this matter, the TV series we filmed in China, tell me, have they been sold before? What you wrote before is an example, the broadcasts all over the country are popular everywhere, but they haven't been sold abroad?" Not to mention foreign countries, there was a film viewing party in Nanjing before, and the big boss of Xiangjiang TV Station was invited, and I originally wanted to sell a few TV series in the past, which could be regarded as cultural propaganda, but what was the result? Not to mention selling, I didn't want to give it away for nothing, and finally I bought other people's films. ”

Li Chengru said that Yi Qing also knew about this film viewing meeting, and it was at this viewing meeting that he was bought the copyright by a domestic TV station, which opened the broadcast boom of wireless Jin Yong dramas in China.

"You ponder, spend millions, buy an overseas copyright, and you can't sell it for the last penny, what are you trying to do!"

Too young, too simple!

Who said that TV dramas shot in China can't sell?

Of course, Li Chengru is definitely not the only one who has this kind of thought, and now most Chinese film and television people seem to be accustomed to being arrogant, which is probably also the foreign wind brought about by the reform and opening up.

When filming works, I began to learn from abroad unconditionally and without a bottom line, no matter whether it was good or bad, fragrant or smelly, I would learn it correctly, and I also made a few foreign filmmakers as masters, proud of myself as a believer of the other party, and worshipped vigorously.

Only a very small number of film and television people still insist on themselves, shoot Chinese-style film and television dramas, and often bring their works abroad to participate in exhibitions.

"Brother Li, you don't have to worry about this, so be it, as long as CCTV is willing to give me the overseas copyright, I am willing to invest 5 million. ”

Li Chengru was stunned, and Fu Yiwei was also stunned, she knew that Yi Qing was rich and knew the specific figures, but Yi Qing's mouth was five million, which still scared her.

Although she also didn't understand, Fu Yiwei didn't say anything, in front of outsiders, don't say she didn't understand, she just didn't want to, she couldn't interject, it hurt Yi Qing's face.

Five million is 500 watts, anyway, we have more than 20 million in our family!

Is it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ invest so much money in others, what if it loses?

Forget it, forget it, don't want to!

Li Chengru stared at Yi Qing for a while before he said: "Xiao Yi, have you really thought about it? This is five million, not five hundred, I know you have money, but you can't make it like this if you have money!"

In fact, Li Chengru came back this time, and many colleagues in the Journey to the West crew all had a task, that is, to pull sponsorship, it is said that Yi Qing took the initiative to invest, and he should be happy, but the problem is that Yi Qing is his buddy, and he can't watch his buddy lose.

Yi Qing smiled and nodded: "Think about it, Brother Li, just see if you can help with this matter, of course, the investment must not be in my personal name, I think it is better to use a special name." ”

Li Chengru couldn't be persuaded to do so, so he had no choice but to respond: "Okay! I'll try my best to say, but if it doesn't work, I don't dare to guarantee it!"

"Of course, just do your best!" Yi Qing said, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "By the way, Brother Li, this matter must be signed, and when the time comes, let Ye Yaxian come forward." ”

Yi Qing said this, it was not without purpose, he remembered that he had read an article on the Internet in his previous life, which said that during the filming, he also encountered financial problems.

's early investment, it's not more, it's 3 million, and 1 million was added in the later stage, it looks like a lot, but only when you really shoot, you know how much money it costs, Daguan Garden needs to be covered, and the clothes of the masters, slaves, and maids need to be designed and purchased, just shooting the two scenes of Qin Keqing's funeral and the provincial concubine cost a lot of money, and the selection of actors, It costs money to hold training classes for the actors to eat and wear, which leads to the fact that when the thirteenth episode is filmed later, the filming funds are not enough, if there is no financial support, I am afraid that the 87 version will die halfway, for which Wang Fulin is very anxious, at this time it is impossible to let the Ministry of Culture allocate funds, Wang Fulin has communicated with his superiors many times, but has never received a satisfactory answer.

At the time when the 87 version of the crew was the most difficult to shoot with funds, the boss of a private enterprise in Shandong at that time heard the news and sent 2.5 million yuan to solve the urgent need of the crew, at that time, because of the lack of money, the crew had stopped filming for nearly half a year, and the money sent by the boss made the entire Dream of Red Mansions crew boil, if there was no money, this classic would probably become a permanent regret, and there would not be Lin Daiyu that the audience was familiar with later, Jia Baoyu and a large number of classic film and television images.

According to the recollections of the crew at that time, the boss came with money to invest, and signed an agreement with the crew: dividends will be paid if you make money, and you will lose money if you lose.

It's just that he didn't pay dividends later because of financial constraints, and a lot of the money was returned to the boss before the TV series started, because there was no dividend, CCTV had to add at the end of each episode of the 87 version: This film inherits the logo of a company in Shandong Province working together.

If this matter is really true, what CCTV does is indeed not kind enough.

Because of the tight budget, so you didn't pay dividends?

Does this sound like a word?

Obviously, it became popular after the broadcast, and regarded other people's investments as loans, and the agreements signed before didn't count.

Yi Qing didn't want to be wronged, he didn't invest just for feelings, after all, millions of dollars were thrown in, and he had to see some returns.

The contract signed by the Shandong boss and the crew of the Red Mansion, and then CCTV did not admit it, this time, if you want to sign the contract, you must sign it with CCTV, after the contract is signed, no matter what happens in the future, no one should be hypocritical.

Thinking about it, this contract shouldn't be a big problem, after all, no one realizes how attractive it is now.

Or to put it more bluntly, if you get a TV series made in China, will someone watch it outside?

Li Chengru saw that Yi Qing even said about the contract, and now he also knew that Yi Qing was going to move seriously, and he had persuaded everything he should have persuaded, since Yi Qing had to invest, he had no choice but to ask, and the above people would naturally decide whether it would succeed or not.

"Okay! I'll ask you about it!"

After talking about the investment, the two chatted about their idle days, and of course, it was essential to talk about Tebit, Li Chengru is a minority shareholder in the store, and there are some things that should be informed to him.

"This can't ~~~~~~ be possible!?"

After Yi Qing finished speaking, Li Chengru's big eyes were as wide as cow eggs.

"When I came back to the capital to get the camera, I also went to the store, but the business was average, and it couldn't be compared with when it opened, so why did it ~~~~~~~~suddenly become popular?"

Without waiting for Yi Qing to speak, Fu Yiwei rushed to say: "Brother Li, you are too late and missed a good show!"

Fun?

Li Chengru didn't understand: "What's the matter?

Fu Yiwei immediately came to the spirit, showed off, and told the performance as it was, of course, the key thing to mention was how charming she was on stage, and how the audience was crazy about it.

"Brother Li, it's a pity that you missed that scene at that time. ”

Li Chengru was also stunned when he heard it, he never thought that these two people would make such a scene and hold a performance at the entrance of the store to attract customers.

Belch?

I didn't think of it before!

Yi Qing smiled on the side: "Brother Li, don't listen to her, the business is really hot now, but it's not a show." ”

Li Chengru wondered: "What else can it be?"

"Advertisement!"
