Chapter 547: Worthless
After a long time, Caron had not yet recovered from the shock.
After all, his new work has just been rejected by the editor, and in the words of the other party, there is no development value.
But in a blink of an eye, Chen Feng actually began to directly inquire about his intention to sell the copyright of his work.
The shift is a bit too rapid.
Still, the sudden recognition of this kind of work, and the willingness of someone to pay for the copyright from him, made Caron very comfortable.
At this moment, Caron was even really tempted.
The so-called bosom friend is hard to find, since you have met someone who knows the goods, then simply sell the copyright of your work.
But soon, he gradually calmed down again.
Because the development of the whole thing is really weird, and the young man in front of him, who seems to be very rich, doesn't know what his identity is, so it is really not a rational thing to recklessly agree to other people's requests.
What's more, his works are created in English, and the style of comics is all foreign styles, but now, a person from a Chinese-speaking area wants to buy his own copyright, which seems to be very inconsistent, right?
Because of cultural differences, if the copyright of your work is bought by the other party, will it be even more promising in the future?
A series of doubts slowly surfaced in Caron's heart, so the expression on his face slowly turned from shock and excitement to doubts and incomprehension.
Finally, after a few minutes of silence, Cuarón slowly asked some of his own questions.
He asked very cautiously, but he was also very detailed, listing many of the puzzles in his heart one by one.
Tao Xianzhi listened carefully to Caron's questions, and then translated the content to Chen Feng.
After hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head and smiled.
Indeed, he was a little anxious, and it was really a bit reckless to rashly ask about the purchase of copyrights when everyone did not understand each other, and it is no wonder that others will be suspicious.
So, Chen Feng took out a business card of Ping An Investment Company and handed it to Caron.
This business card was designed and printed by An Ruohua for him, after all, Ping An Investment Company is also very famous in the industry, and there should be something to have.
Caron took Chen Feng's business card with some confusion, and looked at it a few times but didn't understand it too much.
Later, Tao Xianzhi was very patient to help introduce Chen Feng's identity.
When he heard that Chen Feng was in the movie industry, Caron's eyes widened suddenly.
Movie, this is really unexpected.
However, at the same time, Chen Feng's position in Caron's heart immediately became much more important.
Because Cuaron knows very well that the reason why the comic IP of those superhero series is getting more and more expensive is because of the continuous development of the film market in recent years, as well as the increasing number of film works adapted from comics, and the box office is getting better and better.
Therefore, if you can have the opportunity to adapt your comic works into movies, it is definitely one of the most exciting things!
Especially a fantasy world like "Avatar" will definitely become more attractive if it is changed to the form of a movie.
And this Chen Feng in front of him happens to be making a movie!
……
However, although he figured out Chen Feng's identity and understood that Chen Feng was not joking if he wanted to buy the copyright of his work, this kind of thing is a big deal after all, and Caron himself needs to think about it again.
Therefore, before finally Caron left, he still did not agree to Chen Feng's request, and did not even ask for a specific offer.
However, Chen Feng was not discouraged, and everyone sent Caron out of the villa very politely, and watched this foreign painter with a strange temper leave slowly, and then returned to the living room.
"Is Caron's work really that good? must I buy it?" An Ruohua asked with some confusion beside her.
Chen Feng nodded.
"Well, I think it's good, if it can be adapted into a movie, it will be an amazing movie. ”
Tao Xianzhi next to him thought about it and said: "However, manga movies need to do a lot of special effects, as far as I know, many foreign companies are also making superhero series of movie works, but there are not many successes, is it more difficult in China......"
"Yes, it's really going to be difficult to ......" Chen Feng thought about it, but suddenly smiled: "However, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you think about it, you will definitely be able to overcome it. ”
When he said this, Chen Feng's face was full of confidence, and that kind of courage made Tao Xianzhi very admirable.
……
When Caron returned to his quarters, he couldn't calm down.
Someone wants to buy the rights to their own work, and it doesn't seem to be a joke yet, and this kind of thing makes him a little uncomfortable.
Although Caron was very calm in front of Chen Feng and the others at that time, at this time in his own home, he finally didn't have to hide anything.
So he kept pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes stopping and contemplating something, sometimes shaking his head and continuing to run back and forth.
In short, he is not calm at all.
Although he has many concerns, he is still extremely excited about the possibility that his works can be sold for copyright.
Finally, with some trepidation, Caron dialed the phone number of his former editor.
Although the other party had just rejected his manuscript, he was now the only one who could answer some of the doubts in Caron's mind.
A moment later, the phone was called, and the other party was in a rare free time, so Caron was able to talk to the other person a little more.
After a polite greeting, Caron cautiously began to inquire about the price of film and television rights for comic works.
When it comes to this kind of thing, the editor on the other side is also a little excited.
"Comic adaptation rights, the price is high and low, the highest, like those most popular superhero series, is almost priceless, because the author has the copyright in his hand, and he will never sell it directly, most of them are co-developed, and some people can even participate in the box office sharing...... Of course, there are also some works whose film and television rights have been bought out, and the known price is as high as several million dollars......"
Listening to such astronomical figures, Cuarón only felt his blood surge, although it was not his work that sold for millions of dollars, but it at least gave him a lot of hope.
However, another remark from the editor made him fall into the ice cave.
"Of course, the copyrights of those works that are not very famous will not sell for a good price, for example, the comics you published a few years ago, and now they can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, which is considered lucky enough, and there are many more copyrights of works, and no one cares about them at all. ”
"So, Caron, I'd better advise you to redraw the superhero series as soon as possible, and stop wasting time on your fantasy planet blue alien work......"
"Your stuff is really worthless......"
