Laughter and tears are Journey to the West, Zhang Chu is not sure whether to praise or scold more after he writes the story of Zhu Bajie and Gao Cuilan, but since it is to subvert Journey to the West, it must be subverted thoroughly, and that love story is originally very romantic and beautiful.

When Zhang Chu finished lunch, before he had time to take a nap, his temporary agent Zhou Kang came over and knocked on the door.

"This is the house you rented, don't you plan to live in a dormitory?" Zhou Kang looked at this room, it is definitely not cheap to rent this kind of renovated, large and small house next to the campus of Yan University.

"I think I have to live on both sides, and no one cares about this at the university anyway. ”

Zhang Chu has passed the boiling period of youth, and he is not in the mood to deal with the complicated relationship between his roommates, and many things are inconvenient in the dormitory.

Although Zhou Kang is Zhang Chu's elder, now that his identity has become a literary agent, it is inconvenient to say anything more.

On the contrary, Zhang Chu instructed: "Uncle Zhou, don't give my dad a small report, if he finds out, maybe he will call me to educate me well." ”

"Yes, but you still have to go to class on time every day when you live outside, and you can't skip class. Zhou Kang also didn't want Zhang Chu's identity as a scholar to be shattered, which has become an important label for Zhang Chu.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the venue. At today's film and television rights trading conference, almost all domestic film and television drama production companies will be present, and there are also many overseas companies. It doesn't necessarily mean that the deal will be made on the spot, but it can be famous. ”

After any novel is adapted into film and television works, it will bring about an explosion of audiences and readers, and people's acceptance of film and television works will be stronger.

The skyrocketing reputation of lawsuits like the one in front of you doesn't last long, and the continuous release of new works, and the adaptation of old works from the past into other forms of works, is the serious development route.

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, people have no windfall and no wealth, and a lawsuit is a windfall for Zhang Chufa!

After Zhang Chu locked the door, he drove to the convention and exhibition center with Zhou Kang, he was thinking about what price his two works should be sold at, he didn't know anything about film and television copyrights, and it was easy to suffer.

……

On the last day of the large-scale book fair, most of the people present here were staff from film and television companies, publishing houses, writers' agencies, and writers from all walks of life.

In this era when the concept of IP is prevalent, writers of any category want to get a piece of the pie and sell their works, so that they can gain fame and fortune.

Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang were not inconspicuous in the crowd at all, just a small wave in the sea.

"The people of Huace Film and Television have contacted our company and said that they have ideas for your work. In addition, Kate Media, Chuangyuan, and Phoenix Interactive Entertainment have all asked about related matters, so you can rest assured. ”

The conference site was overcrowded, and Zhang Chu could see all kinds of competitors on those posters, including online fantasy novels, urban love, campus youth and other themes, as well as contemporary workplace works, suspense works, and many horror and supernatural works.

27 key recommended works, including "Psychological Crime", were placed around the convention and exhibition center, and Zhang Chu didn't know which company his work would be handed over to in the end.

Although suspenseful mystery novels are niche in the publishing industry, they have a considerable audience in film and television works, so adaptations of this type of work are very popular.

Since Zhang Chu has his own literary agency, his "Psychological Crime" does not need to be hung with the name of Nanhai Publishing Company, but with the logo of Yanjing Menglong Culture Media Company.

By the time the two of them crossed the sea of people and came to the booth of Menglong Culture Media, there were already a lot of people gathered here.

A middle-aged man in a suit seemed to see a savior, he walked up directly and grabbed Zhou Kang's arm and said, "Old Zhou, you are finally here, I didn't answer your call just now." These are people from film and television companies who want to inquire about the copyright status of "Psychological Crime". ”

Before he finished speaking, this person saw Zhang Chu beside Zhou Kang again, and immediately stretched out his hand and said: "This must be Zhang Chu, our company is honored to be your agent." ”

"This is Mr. Wu of our company. Zhou Kang whispered in Zhang Chu's ear, he was really worried that Zhang Chu would not give face.

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, of course Zhang Chu will not make any abnormal moves in front of everyone, he shook hands with Wu Tong and responded: "I didn't expect that this is the first time we have met, and my works will have to trouble Mr. Wu and Uncle Zhou more in the future." ”

Wu Tong whispered to a few people: "What everyone wants most now is "Psychological Crime", among which Huace Film and Television wants two copyrights for movies and TV series, and several large companies such as Guangli, Yida, and Haiquan also take a fancy to film copyrights. Next to it are Haiquan Film and Television and Huanwen Film and Television, iQiyi, and Tencent Video, they want to buy the copyright of the TV series, and the latter two websites just want to shoot and become online dramas. ”

"Do they have the conditions to say they have?"

Zhou Kang asked, these large companies are the most stingy, the contracts are the strictest, and the regulations are also rigid, but if they are produced, the probability of success is greater than that of small workshops.

Great Aim gave a total of 5 million yuan in copyright fees to directly buy out the film and television. ”

This number sounds like a lot, but Zhang Chu was not stunned, he frowned and said: "Now that IP is so valuable, why does Huace give such a point?"

"He gave quite a lot, do you know how much iQiyi gave? The price quoted by the online drama is only 1 million yuan. ”

"This is called Hanako!" Zhang Chu didn't plan to make it into an online drama, if it was broadcast on the TV station, the platform would be bigger.

Zhou Kang spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Who made you famous now is "Sherlock", but it is impossible for a company in China to make this TV series or movie. Although the evaluation of "Psychological Crime" is not bad, it is only released now after all, and it is not certain whether it can be popular or not. ”

In fact, these companies just want to make a venture capital and take the copyright of "Psychological Crime" when it is not a big hit, otherwise the price will definitely not be the same after it sells tens of millions of physical books.

"If the conditions are not good, we don't have to sell in a hurry, just wait for the price to sell. "Zhang Chu doesn't want to sell it so easily, it has been IP fever in the past two years, and the price has risen quite sharply.

Wu Tong agreed: "Don't worry, this is related to our commission, and you won't be at a loss." Now let's go in and meet with these companies. ”

The copyright transaction is also a sky-high price, sitting on the ground to repay the money, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, and the contract can be finalized by meeting directly and saying a word, and it must be negotiated slowly.

This is not a problem that Zhang Chu should worry about, he only needs to know the result of the negotiation, if it is within expectations, accept it, and reject it if it is not expected, it is very simple.
