The film industry is really not something that can be played with money alone, like the later Penguin Pictures and Ahri Pictures, their influence in the film market cannot be compared with old film companies such as China Film, Bona, and Huayi. Moreover, Penguin Pictures was not established until September 15, and Penguin at this time did not have much ambition for the film industry.

So when Song Ge proposed to completely buy out the film and television adaptation rights of "League of Legends", Penguin didn't feel that it could accept it. After all, it is quite difficult to film and television games all over the world, and several major Hollywood studios can't play it, and Penguin doesn't think they have this strength in the future.

The only problem that stands in the way of cooperation is the price!

Song Ge's point of view is: Produced by Longlin Pictures, directed by 3 billion director Lu Lin, and 100% reproduction of game characters by digital virtual actors, such a movie is simply advertising "League of Legends". So not only can Penguin no longer collect money, but also have to pay some advertising fees.

Song Ge asked for a sky-high price, and Penguin Company paid it back. There are already a lot of players who say that League of Legends is growing organically, and there is no need for advertising. However, I still admire Longlin Pictures for putting the big movie plan on the agenda so quickly, it is too efficient. (The actual idea is that the game movie is so difficult to do, are you really not afraid of losing money?)

The Penguin side agreed in principle to buy out the film and television adaptation rights of the game, and the price was negotiable, with only one requirement to be specified in the contract, that is, Penguin must have the right of first refusal to invest in the series of films, with a ceiling of 50% of the total investment budget.

The representative of Penguin Company thought that even if we wanted to film and television "League of Legends" in the future, we were afraid that we would not have the strength to produce it independently, so we would have to find someone to cooperate. Since the best choice is Longlin Pictures, it is better to let the other party go on the road, and there is no loss if the adaptation fails, anyway, there are few successful companies in the world.

If Longlin Pictures can really do a good job in the big movie and balance the viewing needs of game fans and passers-by, it would be good for Penguin to participate in the follow-up investment and obtain profits in accordance with the contract.

Of course, Song Ge couldn't agree to such a high investment amount of 50%, it would be a part-time job for the penguins, and the two families talked back and forth for half a month, and finally reached an agreement.

Longlin Pictures symbolically paid a little more money to completely buy out the film and television adaptation rights of "League of Legends". Penguin, on the other hand, has a preemptive right to invest in the series, up to 20 percent of the total investment amount. At the same time, it was indicated that due to financial problems, he would not participate in the investment of the first film for the time being.

After the contract was signed, both felt that it was very profitable, and the penguin side's wishful thinking was not mentioned. Song Ge believes that the deal gives the company a strong partner. After all, looking at Lu Lin's current posture, the investment in a movie in the future will be more than one billion!

At that point, it will certainly not be able to produce independently, but it will not be a kind of investment that will be accepted, and it will have to be money from companies that have influence in film production or media promotion. Penguins belong to this kind of thing, not to mention anything else, when the big movie is released in the future, just come to a few QQ pop-up ads!

When Song Ge's cooperation with Penguin was negotiated, Lu Lin had already written the script of "Super Seminary Season 1". In his calculations, "Company of Heroes" is suitable for making a big movie, and the light-hearted and funny "Super Divine Academy Season 1" can be made into an anime, which can be regarded as a warm-up for a big movie.

"Do you need an animation company?" Song Ge, who came back with a contract, was really surprised to hear Lu Lin's latest ideas!

Lu Lin nodded slightly, handed over the script of "Super Seminary Season 1", and said, "Well, I think so, it's too risky to go directly to the movie, you can get an anime to warm up, even if it's a trailer!"

Song Ge sat on the sofa flipping through the script, occasionally smiled indifferently, and quickly finished reading the book in his hand. smiled: "What young people like, I'm a little unsure." But I think your idea is very good, first change from games to anime, and then change from anime to movies, it will be easier for the audience to accept it!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "After all, for game fans, if you enter the theater and find that Demacia's power has become a dick college student, and the hand of Noxus is actually a street bastard, this contrast is too great, if you can't accept it for a while, it won't be good." And if an anime is broadcast on the online platform first, game fans will have time to adapt to the character settings and story background in the anime, but they will look forward to the movie that will be released in a year!"

Song Ge suddenly woke up and said, "I just said that I always felt that something was wrong, and I still couldn't remember it." Adaptation, game fans need time to adapt!"

Lu Lin wanted to make "Super Seminary Season 1", and initially only considered the problem from the perspective of publicity. I didn't think about the adaptation of game fans in advance, and what I said to Song Ge just now was just a hurry.

In this case, the certainty is even greater. Attract players with characters in the game, please passers-by with an urban setting, and adjust time for game fans. The storyline is that domestic superheroes fight against aliens to defend the earth, who said that only Lao Mei can save the world?" Lu Lin said this, looking at Song Ge and smiling.

"Okay, I'll get in touch and help you find a more reliable animation company!" Song Ge sighed.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "Then it's hard for you!"

When Song Ge was looking for a suitable animation company, the news that Longlin Pictures was going to adapt "League of Legends" into a movie spread again.

Don't guess, Penguin broke the news. This kind of news that can make entertainment headlines and bring attention to "League of Legends", there is no reason why they should not explode.

For a while, the attention of all walks of life once again focused on Lu Lin. It's just that he's too low-key. In addition to film promotion, he usually doesn't appear in public much, and he doesn't even go to film festivals much.

Trophies, red carpets, and many things that girl stars are worried about, but Lu Lin didn't take it to heart at all. What he cares about is how to better create the two movie universes of "Hong Huang" and "Super God", so that his movies can really go abroad and have an impact in the world film industry.

Trophies or something, I don't think it's that important. The so-called "one actor a year, a hundred years of stars". Lu Lin is not interested in one or two awards, but in his life's achievements.

However, appropriate media interviews still have to be accepted, although "Super Seminary Season 1" is not in theaters, but the purpose of filming is to pave the way for future big movies, and it must be promoted by taking advantage of the situation!

In the office, facing the reporter of "China Entertainment Report", Lu Lin talked eloquently, "Yes, it is to adapt the movie, and I am already writing the script and filing it, and it will take more than a year to land in the theater to meet the audience!"

"Wow, the fans will be waiting very anxiously, we interviewed some gamers before we came, and the expectations for your movie are very high!" The female reporter sighed into the microphone.

Lu Lin laughed and said, "So, in order to thank gamers for their support and anticipation of the new movie, Longlin Pictures is about to produce an anime as a thank you." ”

The female reporter was stunned: "Anime?"

Lu Lin nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, anime, it's called "Super Divine Academy!"
