Chapter 312: Buy the Copyright! (1st Update)
At this time, Yang Fei and Li Yu are tailoring a new movie for Linlin.
Linlin is the heroine, and the male protagonist is the popular star Huo Jianhua.
Due to the good cooperation in the previous filming of cosmetics advertisements, and the salary given by Dream Performing Arts is also very generous.
Therefore, Huo Jianhua agreed to play the leading role without seeing the script.
This is almost unimaginable in other places, as a popular fried chicken in the entertainment industry, I didn't see that it was a good script, don't want Huo Jianhua to star.
Yang Fei and Li Yu took a fancy to several popular films, Guo Xiaoming's "The Scrap Iron Era of the Small Era", Zhang Kaichen's "You Are the Moon in My Sky", and Zhou Zifeng's "If There Were No You That Day...... There are nearly ten in total.
These films are all about the inspirational feelings of the protagonist who encounters many difficulties on the way to pursue his dreams, but will eventually overcome them one by one.
Each one comes with a huge number of fans.
"I've read all of these carefully, and adapting any of them into a movie is very suitable for Linlin to play the heroine, once it is released, not to mention the fire, it is more than enough for Linlin to open up a certain popularity. Li Yu said.
Yang Fei nodded, "Since everything is good, then if possible, buy the copyrights of these films!"
"Buy them all?" Li Yu was taken aback, you must know that the current copyright price of a piece is around one million, and if you buy them all, it is a huge amount of money.
But when she thought of the money her boss gave her for a house, she was relieved.
"Buy them all, and the company will definitely use it in the future. Yang Fei said casually.
"Since I have to buy it, I suggest that Guo Xiaoming's "Small Times: The Age of Scrap Iron" be filmed first, which is adapted into a movie, and the effect is expected to be better than the others. ”
"Alright, you'll take care of it. ”
Yang Fei doesn't care whether the box office is good or not, this movie is completely for Linlin to practice.
As for several other characters in this movie, such as the second female and third supporting actors, etc.
When the time comes, Linlin's opinion will be sought, and if she has a suitable candidate, she will naturally let her choose by herself.
After receiving Yang Fei's instructions, Li Yu immediately contacted the authors of those films, hoping to buy all the copyrights.
However, the rights to several of them have already been sold.
However, Guo Xiaoming's book is being negotiated with other companies and has not been bought.
When Guo Xiaoming received a call from Li Yu at home, he was discussing the sale of the copyright with the two persons in charge of the seller, Tianrong Entertainment.
One of them was a middle-aged man named Lu Yuxing, and the other was Lu Yuxing's assistant.
At this time, Lu Yuxing looked at Guo Xiaoming with a torch in his eyes, and said: "This is your famous work, although the sales are good, but what will happen to the box office when it is adapted into a movie, no one knows, if you sell the copyright to us, I promise to concentrate the vast majority of the company's resources on this operation, and completely help you open up the popularity of film and television adaptation, which will be of great help to your subsequent copyright sales, do you think?"
However, even if he swore so much, Guo Xiaoming was still a little entangled, why?
Because this Tianrong Entertainment is only willing to pay 300,000 yuan to buy out all the copyrights of his famous work.
He knew that the physical book sales were not as good as the copyright of his "If There Were No You That Day", which sold 800,000 yuan.
And the buyer is also Tianrong Entertainment, more than twice as much as him, the gap is too big, and he is unwilling to sell the copyright of his famous work so cheaply.
"I have no doubts about your company's strength and sincerity, but in terms of price, can you increase it a little more?" Guo Xiaoming asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Lu Yuxing smiled: "I know that you watched the news, and you are inevitably unwilling, but the adaptation of Zhou Zifeng's works into movies has already withstood the test of the market, compared to your works, the risk of developing him is much smaller, I dare to guarantee that if it is his first film, the copyright will definitely not sell for 800,000." ”
The assistant next to him also encouraged him at the right time, "Little brother, it is quite good that the copyright fee of your famous work can be sold for 300,000 yuan, you must know that the copyright of the vast majority of people is given to no one and no one wants it! Do you know why? Because they want to seize that opportunity to make their own fame, once they become famous, the follow-up income will skyrocket, so the vision of young people, don't be limited to the present, but focus on the future, you know?"
Being sung and harmonized by the two of them like this, Guo Xiaoming was a little tempted, and thinking about it, this is indeed the case.
Maybe this is the price you have to pay before becoming famous.
Seeing that Guo Xiaoming seemed to be shaking, Lu Yuxing and his assistant glanced at each other, with a smug smile on their faces.
It's not like it's been pinched and played in the palm of our hands?
If you can win all the copyrights of his part for 300,000 yuan, it will be a big bargain.
Guo Xiaoming's physical book sales are at the top of the major rankings, which has caused a lot of resonance among young people and countless fans.
If it is about the actual value, the adaptation rights of the movie alone can reach more than one million, plus other copyrights such as TV series and animation peripherals, and the copyright fees added up to all add up to sell three or four million are more than enough.
Lu Yuxing actually wanted to buy out all the copyrights of this one for 300,000 today, which was to bully him for being inexperienced.
After all, this is Guo Xiaoming's first work, and he is also ignorant of the circle of copyright trading, and this kind of person is best fooled.
"How about it? Have you decided? If you don't want to sell, we don't force it, after all, after buying your copyright, we have to invest a lot of money to develop it, and it is unpredictable whether it will succeed or fail. I dare to say that at present, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, except for our Tianrong Entertainment, there is no second company that will develop the potential of your film so vigorously. Lu Yuxing reminded in a timely manner, and hinted to Guo Xiaoming that if he missed this village, there would be no such store.
Guo Xiaoming was finally moved, and just as he was about to agree, a call from an unfamiliar number came, and he picked it up,
"Hey, hello, I'm Guo Xiaoming, may I ask who you are?"
On the other end of the phone, it was Li Yu's crisp voice, "Hello Mr. Guo, I am Li Yu, the contracted director of Dream Performing Arts Company, a subsidiary of Wanye Investment Group, we are very interested in your "Small Times: Scrap Iron Era", and we are interested in buying its film copyright, do you still have the film copyright in hand?"
"It's still there. Guo Xiaoming replied.
"Oh, that's good, why don't we make an appointment and talk in detail about buying the rights to this movie?"
Guo Xiaoming's eyes flickered, he walked to a secluded place, covered the phone with his hand, and said in a low voice: "I already have someone here who wants to buy the full copyright of this one, if you are interested, make a price now, I will weigh it." ”
"Do you want to bid now? Well, that's good, I won't give you a detour, for your film copyright, our psychological price is 1.2 million, do you think it's appropriate?"
", 1.2 million?" Hearing this offer, Guo Xiaoming couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and almost shouted out, Nima bid 1.2 million for the film copyright alone?
"You're not lying, are you? How can it be 1.2 million? Just now, Tianrong Entertainment bought my full copyright and only bid 300,000!"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, full copyright, 300,000?
It's really black!
"Mr. Guo, I can guarantee that the value of the full copyright of your film can definitely be added to the back of 300,000 yuan, and one more zero will be added! If you are willing to cooperate with us, we will bid 3.5 million yuan to buy the full copyright of your film!" Li Yu's voice was loud, originally she only planned to buy the film copyright.
Generally speaking, all the copyrights of a piece are sold separately, because this can expand the benefits.
She didn't expect that Guo Xiaoming's film still had all the copyrights in her hands!
If all the copyrights are still in his hands, then he will naturally buy them all.
Because she is very optimistic about the potential of this film, if it is developed properly, it will become the most eye-catching super IP in China.
Whether it is for Linlin or the newly established Dream Performing Arts Company, it is a huge asset.
Guo Xiaoming was completely shocked at this time, three and a half million!
It can be sold for 3.5 million!
But just now, Tianrong Entertainment actually came up with 300,000 yuan to buy all the copyrights, what is the difference between this and Ming robbery?
It's clear that he's a layman, so foolish!
