Chapter 486 - Three Years of Eating (One More Subscription Requested)
Since the start of the IP craze, the copyright operation department of the reading website has become very busy, and film and television companies and game companies from all over the country have come to snap up the adaptation rights.
However, in the face of this great business opportunity, the website found that they were becoming more and more stretched, and there was a shortage of inventory.
The works of ordinary authors continue to be born, but there are very few works that can be recognized by buyers, and the number of great gods is limited.
So now there is a very special situation, that is, without writing a word, the title of the book can be sold at an unbelievably sky-high price!
In the past, it was basically the copyright operation department that took the initiative to sell to film and television companies. Sometimes the throat says that there is smoke, but the other party is still unmoved.
However, in recent years, with the popularity of film and television IP, the copyright department has finally ushered in spring.
And this price is also refreshed in three days, and it is worth celebrating if the copyright has sold millions in the past few years, and now ordinary IPs are at this price, and the top gods are tens of millions.
A large number of online copyrights have been sold before they are finished, and some authors' works have not been written a word, just by taking a name, and then being bought by other companies.
The connection between the Internet and the film and television and game industries is deeper than imagined, in addition to adaptations, there are also special writing for games, such as official, official fandom and so on.
Now Haoyi Games just wants Zhang Chu to write an official for them, and even does not hesitate to offer a high price of tens of millions of yuan!
In fact, this is no longer the person who ate crabs in the first place, and many games have been written by the author to promote, but these are sometimes of poor quality or insufficient publicity, and they have not become popular.
Ye Shumei asked with concern: "They named this game "Dajianghu", do you want to take this order?"
"The name sounds a lot like a page game. Zhang Chu complained slightly, "Forget about this kind of customization, whatever copyright is written out is someone else's, and it requires so much." ”
There is almost no room for freedom in writing customization, and it can't always go against the main line of the game, and it is impossible to let the characters die at will.
If you don't get beaten back and modify it ten or eight times, it's really not called customization.
"Actually, they gave a solution, which is to borrow your author's name. When it was announced to the public, you wrote the customization of "Dajianghu", which was actually done by finding a gunman for you. According to the market for three million words, even if you take out 500,000 yuan, you can find an excellent gunman, which is equivalent to your net profit of 9 million!"
The situation of gunman or studio ghostwriting is already very common on the Internet, especially in a certain Fei and a certain Lu, and there are many in the rest of the stations, especially those who buy out at a high price.
Using the money to buy out at a high price to invite the gunner with the price of cabbage, giving the beginning and outline by himself is equivalent to doing nothing.
If it is really according to the concept of Haoyi Games, then Zhang Chu can indeed make a lot of money with one entry and one exit, but this has become a huge hidden danger, if it is revealed, his reputation will be ruined!
"Sister Ye, there is no need to talk about this kind of thing, don't cooperate with them in the future and join the blacklist. "Zhang Chu won't stupidly run to agree, for the sake of these millions of yuan, to lose the reputation that he has managed so well, how many millions will he have to lose?
Originally, he was still a little sorry for the invitation of Haoyi Games, but now he just wants to quickly clear up the relationship and save any problems in the future.
Ye Shumei also heard Zhang Chu's stern tone, "I also think that this situation is not reliable, it is equivalent to giving the handle to others." ”
Asking for a gunman is a deception, and if exposed, the reader's anger can burn the author and the company on fire!
Why should you fall in this place when you have a great future?
"Let them go to the rest of the gods, and to be a little more tactful, just say that I have too many works to create lately, and I can't take care of them. Zhang Chu didn't go back directly, and found a step for both sides.
"Boss, the next thing is the right thing, Penguin Games wants to buy the game adaptation rights of Sou Shen Ji, and they plan to develop this game into a 3D online game. ”
It's just an appetizer in front of the relationship!
Zhang Chu was a little speechless, he thought that today's conversation was over, but he didn't expect a bombshell to pop up now.
Penguin Games is already the No. 1 game company in China, with a total revenue of 120 billion yuan in the first half of this year, of which the game department contributed almost 58 billion yuan, mainly from mobile games and PC games.
Even in the ranking of global game companies, Penguin Games is the number one!
Last year, Penguin Games ranked first in the world with $11.8 billion, 30% higher than Sony, which ranked second, and more than double that of the second place in China.
In the specific game profit ranking, seven of the top 10 are related to penguins, either by investing in the development team, or by the overall merger and acquisition, or by being represented.
Some people think that the success of Penguin games is nothing more than plagiarism, because at any point in time, any game on the market has a similar product of Penguin next to it, but most of the time it is Penguin's game that succeeds.
In addition to the advantages of the platform, there are countless users as the player base, but it cannot be ignored that they have also worked the experience and production of the game.
It's not enough to have users, it's also about the game itself that attracts those players to stay!
Penguin Games has abundant funds, and there are many talents and experience in game development, so it should be appropriate for them to develop the game of Soshen Ji, at least more reliable than some small companies that can go out of business at any time.
"Sou Shen Ji develops online games, this should take a long time, right?" Zhang Chu doesn't know much about the game industry, but most games take two or three years from the beginning to the open beta, and this is not a simple mobile game like making a 2048.
Ye Shumei said with a smile: "It should be, they mainly want to develop original games all the time, and the world framework with an oriental flavor is what they value more." They didn't say a specific price, they just expressed this intention. ”
Zhang Chu agreed: "If you hand it over to them, it's more reassuring, Sister Ye, you can do it." If this order is completed, we can really eat it for three years after opening!"
