……

"How cheap?"

"The price of cabbage. ”

"How much does cabbage cost?"

"Three or four million, the film and television rights of this book were not intended to be sold, I want to go back and negotiate the specific price with the copyright operator...... Are you sure you want to buy this one?"

"I'm not sure yet, let's bargain first. ”

Facing Cao Fang's deliberately pressuring eyes, Li Yiming lowered his gaze and smiled helplessly, he was a little unclear whether this famous popular star was smart or stupid.

Infinite Paradise contains a lot of elements.,It's barely a game.,The main content is to talk about the future of online games into the era of the game warehouse.,As long as you lie in the game warehouse.,You can even play games while sleeping.,The gamer is equivalent to entering another world.。

In the game world, there are countless story copies, infinite elements, and all rivers.

Li Yiming is such a busy nobleman, it is naturally impossible to completely read this content, but I generally understand that because there are too many elements, the requirements for special effects are extremely high, not to mention the domestic film and television industry, local tyrants are like Hollywood, and there are very few works of this type, and usually only Class A movies have enough funds to shoot.

And my own situation, I know that this kind of infinite stream works are often full of elements of many classic works at home and abroad, if you want to shoot film and television dramas, many of these elements have to be modified, otherwise even if people can't win you, the impact is not very good.

The creamer was rippling in the coffee, and Li Yiming was still wondering if to remind Cao Fangfang.

But for him, is it better to sell a copyright at a low price that would never be sold, or sell some copyright at a high price that will not be unsalable?

Unfortunately, this is a false proposition...... The market is changing rapidly, and he doesn't know what to do, he originally thought that it would not be unsalable, but now it is starting to be unsalable, some film and television companies plan to default, and some transfer popular IPs to each other.

And of course, he is not just a salesman, he is supposed to find the right long-term partners and make strong experiments for the company's development strategy.

At the moment, Cao Fang is still too tender.

"One and a half million?" Cao Fang saw him in a daze and continued to probe.

"Huh?!" Li Yiming suddenly raised his head, he was a little distracted just now, and Cao Yifang's voice was too quiet, so he heard what he said at this moment.

He resolutely refused: "Impossible! Now the value of any IP that is a little famous is far more than this price!"

Cao Fangfang probably knew it in his heart, closed his eyes, his body relaxed, and Cheng Zhu smiled in his chest: "If you can't sell it, it's sunk cost; sunk cost is not cost." ”

Li Yiming frowned.

He decided to make his position clear, and everyone wanted to win together.

"Mr. Cao, don't worry, go back and discuss it with your team, you have to be clear about the various problems of this kind of adaptation, not only technical problems, but also the review level, and then it is confirmed, and I will also discuss the quotation with the author. ”

Cao Fangfang knew that Li Yiming felt that he was too anxious, and he didn't think it through.

In fact, he is just trying to test the adaptation quotation first, from his point of view, like to like, but cost control is also very important, if this kind of IP needs to increase expenditure on special effects, then in other aspects should be minimized.

"Okay, then we'll make sure as soon as possible. ”

The two shook hands, Cao Fang left in a hurry, and Li Yiming also packed up his materials and prepared to fly to the Penguin headquarters in Pengcheng for a meeting.

The topic of their meeting has been discussed for many years, but this time it may be true that it will be decided to implement it.

"I don't know if Cao Fang dares to be the first crab ......"

"Ah......h The first person to eat crabs. ”

Thinking about the innovation of the film and television industry in the future, Li Yiming is a little excited.

"Wait, I'm excited. ”

"The people in the video department who directly benefited from ......"

……

"Boss, you can't make such an unreliable decision in one night. ”

Although Cao Fangfang said the content in a novel and seductive manner, and the climax was repeated, but after listening carefully, Bai Di was even more worried, and with his years of rich experience, he immediately judged that this decision was completely nonsense.

Bai Di tried to dispel his thoughts: "No one has been buying the copyright of the game class, which makes sense, especially this kind of avatar-like creativity, where human consciousness directly enters the game? ”

Cao Fang was silent, his brows furrowed.

"I think it's okay, this anime adaptation is okay, but the film and television drama adaptation is absolutely not, don't mess around, I can help you ask, according to the purchase price of TV stations and online videos, calculate the production cost, and allocate it to each episode. ”

Cao Fang still didn't speak.

When he was anxious, his hands and feet were not honest, and Bai Di finally couldn't bear it: "Don't play with my chaos pendulum!"

Cao Yifang put away his hand, and the gadget on the desk that he had been unable to name, and kept turning clockwise, finally returned to its usual rhythm, and it did not stop.

"I see, I'll ask somebody else. ”

He stood up wearily and walked out of the study.

Bai Di sighed deeply.

Then he got up and carefully put away the wonton swings, small puzzles, globes, etc. on his desk.

Next, Cao Fang went to find many people.

Unlike the previous situation, once upon a time, Cao's decision was also opposed by many people, but he was always able to convince others...... At least partially convincing.

But this time it was almost unanimously opposed, and no one agreed.

Dragon King, Lin Yin, Miao Yingsong and others all raised insurmountable problems from their own perspectives, and Cao had no way to solve them.

The reason why he likes this one is simple.

Novelty, diversity, simplicity, in line with YY aesthetics, has all the characteristics of a cool drama he wants.

When it came to screening last night, he adhered to a simple approach.

Throw away your brain first, and then try to see which book will make him read the most in one go, and which one will best meet the requirements.

Only Infinity Paradise allowed him to see most of the night.

Everything else is tough to watch, partly because of the writing problem, but more because it's boring.

The more types Cao Fang browses, the more boring he feels, the facial makeup is serious, and the routine is single, there are too many no stories, only the simple pleasure brought by upgrades, and the mysterious attraction of the world view is lacking, which makes people too lazy to watch it and don't want to explore it...... Anyway, you can guess the follow-up development by reading the first ten chapters, and you can make up the plot by looking at the table of contents later.

He wanted novelty.

Even if it is not novel enough in the online literature circle, at least it must be absolutely fresh in the film and television industry.

Cao Fang didn't realize it himself, he was a very demanding person, and he could have a more stable choice, but he didn't like it.

Other film and television companies choose IP in a completely different way than him.

It's a pity that the contradiction between his subjectivity and reality this time is too great, and Cao Yifang is also very clear that it is not feasible, there are countless problems, large and small, among which the ultimate problem is still that the cost is too high, shoot according to the effect he wants, and lose money when the broadcast starts, if the cost is reduced, it looks like a joke, the quality is too poor, it is okay to keep the capital, and there is no way to make money.

After struggling for two more days, he even referred to the opinions of Wu Yu and others, but in the end he could only choose to give up.

……

At the second round table, Lin Yin, Miao Yingsong, Lu Jingzhen and others were present.

Lin Yinkai sneered: "Give up? I told you that it wouldn't work." ”

Cao Fangfang's mouth was stiff: "Sometimes giving up is also a kind of gain." ”

Only Lu Jingzhen whispered: "It's a pity." ”

Bai Di distributed the budget sheet he had made to everyone, "Let's take a look, the current decision is still this Xianxia TV series, if Miss Lin and Mr. Miao's investment budget does not increase, we will introduce five other investors, and we will choose to use a small ......theater for advertising placement."

didn't advance the project he wanted, Cao Yifang had no energy today, leaning on his seat half-paralyzed, and brushing the circle of friends casually.

Suddenly, a phone call came, and Li Yiming's name popped up.

Cao Fang picked it up, "Lao Li, we decided ......"

"Huh?" he said.

The congregation looked at him with some confusion.

Cao Fang straightened up, frowned, and said, "You go on, I'm listening." He put his index finger to his lips and motioned for everyone to stop talking.

For a moment, the quiet pin drop in the conference room could be heard.

Lin Yin and the others looked at each other.

After about ten minutes of this phone call, Cao Fang was extremely unusually quiet, almost no interruptions, only at the end of the call, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Yes, I accept it." ”

Hanging up, he gently placed the phone on the table.

Cao Fangfang's eyes changed, and his laziness and tiredness swept away, and he swept around everyone present in embarrassment.

Licking his dry lips, he crossed his hands, put them in front of him, and began to say, "The original plan has changed, and the shooting project has been changed to Infinity Paradise. ”

"The total investment is tentatively set at 200 million, and a total of 10 episodes will be filmed, as the first season to test the waters, the ratings will be cut if they are not optimistic, and Singularity Video will be bought out for exclusive broadcasting, not on TV stations, and will not be implanted in advertisements. ”

"This drama is the first TV series broadcast by Singularity Video for a fee, and the contract signed with me is a buyout plus share, the sharing cycle is one year, the sharing ratio is 70%, and the platform participation in the investment ratio is 5%. ”

"My studio invested 40 million, and the rest of Lin Yin and Miao Yingsong were evenly shared. ”

"The salary of actors now generally accounts for 30% to 50%, let's change the rules, anyway, I personally don't want to be paid, I take points to achieve the line, and the salary of other actors is controlled within 18% of the total investment, which is not negotiable. ”

"We are very short of time, the shooting cycle is tentatively scheduled for five months, I hope to start shooting in the middle of five months, leaving three months for post-production, which means that our studio will work on this film this year, and I hope it can be released early next year. ”

Cao Fang finished his words cracklingly, and everyone didn't seem to have time to react, they were all digesting the huge amount of information in the paragraph just now.

are all insiders, so I am more and more shocked in my heart.

Cao Fangfang's eyes went from left to right, and he waited for a moment, "My words are finished, who is in favor and who is against?"
