Chapter 55: Making a fortune with a muffled voice [Asking for Recommendations and Collections]

In the film and television industry, every month I feel that I was a fool last month.

Almost every month, the price of copyright transactions is rising, and the increase in housing prices is unmatched!

"IP" is the most talked about word in the industry, and the core of writers' conversations is always inseparable from full copyright development.

From publications, movies, TV series to spin-off games, IP can be presented in a variety of forms.

Writers are facing more and more business negotiations, and Qin Chuan has this understanding now that he has only released his first novel.

It's too hard to talk about, and a lot of things are hard to understand.

For rookie authors, it's normal to have no box office dividends.

Slightly stronger film and television companies will not give dividends to writers or screenwriters, and they only have one-third of the box office, let alone a little more scattered in the east and west.

Not to mention Qin Chuan, most of the gods can't get box office dividends.

When companies compete with each other, they give high prices, but this is a contest between capitalists, and they will not really let others pick up the cheap.

Almost all of them tacitly agree not to give all kinds of dividends, once any company takes the lead in giving dividends, it is to break the rules of the industry and will be isolated.

Qin Chuan has always known the importance of writers' agents, and he didn't have the capital to find them before.

In his previous life, he had attended a writer's training held in the city, and one of the important conditions was the importance of the writer's brokerage. Without the operation of agent Christopher Ritter, it would be difficult for the Harry Potter author to single-handedly make that little wizard with glasses honey worldwide.

I thought that no one would ask about the copyright after the completion of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", but at that time, I naturally had the manuscript fee and some confidence.

Qin Chuan has already made plans now, and when the new book is stable on the shelves, he will use the film and television adaptation rights as a stepping stone on the Internet, and there will definitely be an agent to contact him at that time.

He is Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait!

Bowing his head and using his mobile phone to download the modified full version of the contract sent by Li Xiang, Qin Chuan knew that Flame Pictures would definitely bite to death on all parts of the road, and would never let go.

If you ask for dividends, won't those big-name screenwriters make trouble?

Qin Chuan provided 50,000 words of novel content, and they wanted to refine this simple plot into a script, and the workload was not small.

Even Qin Chuan suspects that the starring Lin Xin may not have box office dividends and DVD sales dividends!

Anyone can play this kind of big IP.

The choice of newcomers is for low salary and high plasticity, and producers will not be stupid to give high prices.

The second, third and large gatherings will increase the salary.

In this case, the copyright fee should not be too low.

Previously, Flame Pictures wrote 8 million, and Qin Chuan asked for a total of 15 million for the three films, considering that it was less appropriate, so he filled in 14 million on the copyright fee, and the term was 10 years.

Ten years later, "People Grow and Hate the Water Changdong" can be sold to other film and television companies to make movies.

Unless Blaze Pictures is willing to renew the contract!

The renewal price is not so cheap.

The three are 14 million, and the average is only 4.65 million Chinese dollars each, which is really not much.

After writing it, Qin Chuan sent the contract to Yang Yang, the assistant to the producer, to give others a headache.

Since the other party has put so much effort into it, he must want to buy the film adaptation rights as soon as possible.

It would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity to talk about it.

His purpose was clear, to put forward a whole bunch of nearly impossible conditions for Blaze Pictures to refuse, and then to make a slightly more likely request.

It's easy to say yes.

For example, he wants a high copyright fee, and after rejecting various sharing terms, Blaze Pictures will always have to give some cards in the face of an offer of 14 million Chinese dollars, and will not bargain for 8 million as before.

……

Yang Yang had a headache when he saw these terms.

The copyright fee of more than 10 million yuan is already something outside the budget, and when I made the budget, I didn't expect to find someone else to buy the copyright.

The scripts of each of the previous movies are original scripts completed by the screenwriters themselves, and with so many classical novels and mythological stories as support, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to write a script.

Now Liu Daoyong is still thinking about how to settle the more than 10 million copyright fees.

The company will certainly not increase the budget until the end.

The royalties have made many investors dissatisfied, and if the proceeds are shared, who will take out the part of the dividends?

No other investor will not, let alone Blaze Pictures.

Although Liu Daoyong is a producer, he is actually a senior worker, not a boss.

Yang Yang directly crossed out a series of copyright revenue shares!

He's also betting.

bet that in addition to his own company, no other company has taken a fancy to the film adaptation rights of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong".

Don't look at Huayue.com, recommend the copyright of this novel to all familiar companies.

But the premise of those companies being interested in this is that Blaze Pictures wants to make this movie, and if Blaze Pictures gives up, the rest of the companies will also give up, and there is no doubt about it.

The plot of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" is indeed very novel, but after all, it is an abusive text.

In recent years, there are only a few audiences and users who like to abuse texts, and most of them still hope to watch some light-hearted film and television works in addition to their bad lives.

In addition to the copyright fee, the rest will not give an inch!

"It must be that Hua Yue is behind Qin Chuan's back, otherwise he wouldn't have used this kind of contract. Yang Yang wasn't too nervous in his heart, "Fortunately, Qin Chuan didn't sign an agent, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with." ”

After all, it is difficult for the writer himself to save face, and he will not tear the net to death.

But brokers are not so restrained, and usually use various ways to increase the benefits package.

Yang Yang still felt that it was most comfortable to cooperate with Qin Chuan himself.

"There shouldn't be much chance of cooperation in the future, just this once, just once and for all. ”

The task was huge, and the script had to be completed within a week so that the permit could be obtained before filming.

In fact, the license supervision is not strict, just go to the rough script and you can review it and get the license, and when the release version is different from the rough filing script, it can also be said that the script has been changed and edited by filming.

But in order not to be caught by the peers, Blaze Pictures will try to implement every link.

"14 million is too high, 12 million is about the same. ”

As a production assistant, Yang Yang knows the financial situation of the crew very well.

If you save 2 million, you can be quite generous, and there will never be enough anyway.

In order to get Qin Chuan to agree, Yang Yang had to promise another media resource.

After the signing of the contract, Blaze Pictures will release relevant information and use the form of official announcement to support the platform of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong"!

The stealth value of this resource is even more than 10 million!

Even if it's a bad book, as long as Blaze Pictures announces an adaptation, it can be built into a key project of full copyright development.

If you want to make money, go to the rest of the companies!

Use Blaze Pictures as a springboard.

Yang Yang didn't believe that Qin Chuan could refuse this condition!
