"You came here today, maybe it's just for this thing, right?"

No matter how Zhou Kang looks at it, he feels that his boss is not like a diligent person, and it is impossible for him to come over in person what he can say on the phone or WeChat.

The dividend ratio of peripheral products is indeed a top priority, but 10% is equivalent to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and snatching their profits from the mouths of these large enterprises.

Any film company will not worry about overexposure, but about low-quality exposure, in fact, the more high-quality exposure, the better, which is conducive to improving the publicity level of the film.

The production process of derivatives is usually for those qualified companies to apply for authorization from the filmmaker who owns the IP, and the filmmaker will review the company's financial capacity, number of users and design capabilities. When the review is approved and authorized, the filmmaker will give the company a breakdown of the categories that can produce derivatives, the expiration date of the IP, and the share ratio.

Of course, it is also possible that the film company finds its own downstream companies to produce, just like the Disney Store products are not produced by their company, and the products in the store are licensed to derivative manufacturers, from which the quality, design and safety standards are selected and placed in their own stores.

Whether a movie derivative sells well or not, the most direct influencing factor is the popularity of the movie, different genres will have different audiences, whether it is a family carnival genre or a preference for women or men, teenagers and children.

10% is almost an impossible figure to negotiate, and Zhou Kang doesn't think Hollywood companies will have the courage to break the rules!

Zhang Chu didn't know what the agent was thinking at this time, he replied to himself: "I came here this time to ask for an interview, to give my readers a reassurance, so that they can rest assured that they don't have to wonder if the Lord of the Rings series will be released on time." ”

Zhou Kang turned his head and looked out the window: "Shouldn't the sun really come out in the west?" There were so many media who wanted to interview you before, but you didn't agree. As a result, now that I want to find the media, what else do you want. ”

"It's faster, it's more authoritative, and it doesn't take that out of context. ”

"Actually, my suggestion is to wait a few more days, the Cannes Film Festival is already in the late stage, and the award call for "Farewell My Concubine" is getting louder and louder. If the movie can win an award, you, the author of the original book, will also have a light on your face. In addition, you can also meet with the people of Universal Pictures to discuss in detail, and if you have a cooperation intention, you can announce it by the way!" Zhou Kang persuaded, he knew very well that Zhang Chu would not be able to accept a second interview in a short period of time, and of course he wanted to add some weighty content to the content of the interview.

However, Zhang Chu spread his hands and said, "Let's talk about it later." Is there any media that can interview today and publish the results today?"

"It's better for you to record a video yourself, and I can record it for you right away, and if you need makeup and lighting, the girls in our company can help." ”

"I mainly want to find a media with a high authority, if not, forget it, I can just open a filter and take a selfie, which is much easier!"

Zhou Kang sighed: "You are torturing us. I'm afraid that the speed required can only be achieved on various news programs, and we can't always ask the news network if there is still a lack of material, right?"

Zhang Chu waved his hand in disappointment, got up and walked outside.

Before others stepped out of the company's door, Ye Shumei, who had just finished a video conference with others, appeared, "Boss, are you ready to leave after you come to the company to inspect the company?"

"Sister Ye, if I don't leave, I'm going to be stuck in the road. If you have anything to know, just ask Uncle Zhou, I just chatted with him for a while. It's hard work, remember to leave work early!"

Zhang Chu found that the time on the watch had reached five o'clock in the afternoon, and the evening rush hour was gradually brewing.

The boss is leaving, who can stay!

Ye Shumei sighed, shook her head, and then glanced at Zhou Kang, "Old Zhou, our boss came over in such a hurry, wouldn't it be just to send fruit to everyone?"

Now the office has almost become a fruit shop, and all kinds of fruits are packed and delivered.

Not only are there those that are cut and cut, but there are also many that employees can take home.

"He wants to come over and ask for an interview, and it's best to post the interview now, saying that it is to let fans wait with peace of mind and not worry about the sequel to "Lord of the Rings". This kind of thing, in addition to doing live broadcasts, is shooting videos by yourself. He plans to take the video slowly when he gets home. But outside of that, we talked about revenue sharing from the Lord of the Rings movie spin-offs......"

In order to welcome the visit of Universal Pictures' gold medal producers tomorrow, Hanlin Culture Media Company not only brought the first draft of the English version of Zhang Chu's "Lord of the Rings 2: Two Towers", but also made a lot of targeted preparations for it.

As a foreign agency, it is extremely difficult to find out the details of the copyright trading contracts of the rest of the writers from the Hollywood company!

Originally, it was a trade secret that needed to be kept secret, and it would not be disclosed to the public at ordinary times, let alone let a foreign company know about it.

Zhou Kang and his family worked hard for a long time, but they only got some data from Random House, which were all figures that the writers represented by Random House negotiated with Hollywood studios.

But the works are different, the writers are different, and the price will naturally be very different.

Ye Shumei's goal is to target JK Rowling, even if she can't get the same high copyright fee as her, the difference can't be too far!

Random House's royalties for Zhang Chu are not low, and they have already received a level of royalties from her, but the sales of her works are far from comparable for the time being.

It is rumored that the seven "Harry Potter" books have sold more than 450 million copies worldwide, and it is estimated that they have earned as much as $7.7 billion, and this series of books has earned Aunt Rowling more than $1.2 billion.

At the same time, she also has a 10% box office share on each film, and the cumulative box office of eight films is close to $8 billion, and a conservative estimate is also 700 million US dollars in revenue sharing.

Not only that, but the TV exclusivity rights of these eight Harry Potter movies are not a small number, Rowling owns 50% of the TV rights, which is very significant when NBC TV spent $250 million to buy eight movies in a package!

In addition, through Warner's Wizarding World theme park, she received a one-time license fee of more than $60 million.

In addition, the theme park's tickets, goods, food, and beverage sales are also shared, even if it is not very likely that "The Lord of the Rings" will be built into a theme park, but it does not prevent Zhou Kang and others from considering these contents.

The more detailed the contract, the better, so that you don't have to regret it.

From the current point of view, the influence of "The Lord of the Rings" is not comparable to "Harry Potter", which has swept the world, and works of that level are hard to find.

Even Zhang Chu didn't find a series of works comparable to "Harry Potter" in the system's database!

There are already many works in this world, and he can only choose from the works that have not appeared for the time being.

If it weren't for the fact that he found that the bookstore had "Harry Potter" sold when he traveled to this world, he would have wanted to write the story of the little wizard, so that he could lie on the checkbook without doing anything for the rest of his life.

……

Yanjing's traffic never disappoints.

Ahead is a smoky red brake light, which looks spectacular!

At first, it can run at a speed of 20 kilometers, but gradually it decreases to walking and turtle speed.

Zhang Chu sat in the driver's seat and looked at everything around him boringly, he was not used to listening to books in the car, at most humming along to the music.

Now it looks like there are more than 60 seconds left at the traffic light, so I simply picked up my phone and turned on the front camera, and after thinking about it, I said to the video: "Hello everyone, I am the person you miss the most." I heard that everyone is questioning my character on the Internet, and now I will tell you a good news, the "Lord of the Rings" series is coming to an end, the Twin Towers have been written, and the return of the king has also been written to the most gao. ”

Time was limited, so he sent the video without checking the effect, then put his phone next to him and continued driving.

Now the writing progress of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is very good, Frodo and Sam have come to Mount Doom, but the One Ring is getting heavier and heavier here, and Frodo is almost struggling to fight it with all his strength.

It is also described in parallel between the two lines, Aragorn leading the human alliance to attract the attention of the orcs, the Ringwraith, and the demon lord Sauron, just to create an opportunity for Frodo and them.

In fact, Gandalf and the others didn't know about Frodo's itinerary at all, and just wanted to gamble and gamble.

Only the author and the reader from God's perspective will know that this trust is worth it!

If you put yourself in their shoes, you will know that the pressure on them in Aragorn is that it is two hobbits who have never traveled far before, and they want to go through many obstacles, and they want to destroy the Lord of the Rings in the base camp of the Demon Lord, no matter how you look at it, it is an impossible thing to happen.

Zhang Chu wrote that the speed was getting faster and faster, and the time it took for the return of the king to return was much less than the time consumed by the appearance of the first Lord of the Rings, almost a quarter of it!

All the settings, all the characters, all the contexts have been figured out, and now it's time to gradually bring the clues together and put them all together.

The two lines, which were originally parallel, got closer and closer, and finally merged.

From here, you can see how important it is to be well prepared in advance!

If you don't think about the plot after that, then it's confusing to write, and you don't know what to write next, and it's impossible to write a series of three works in such a short time.

The prequel of "The Hobbit", and even "Elf Diamond", were put on the other side by Zhang Chu.

Now readers should take a good look at this trilogy thoroughly, instead of taking everything out of the way, which does not do any good.

"Alas, I was born to be a toiler. After "The Lord of the Rings" is written, I have to fill the hole of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", hoping to finish it when the movie is released. ”

Zhang Chu arranged himself clearly!

This was probably the most tiring time in his years of writing, and he couldn't do it without the help of the system.

These days, he has poured himself energy potions, vitality potions, and spent more time in the system space than usual.

The biggest hope is that the series "Lord of the Rings" can't be destroyed in your own hands, otherwise you can't forgive yourself!

Thinking while driving along the way, Zhang Chu was thinking about how to make "The Lord of the Rings" quickly have many readers, and he couldn't make a movie decades after it was released, when the daylilies were cold I don't know how many times.

"In my last life, it was the movie that drove the Lord of the Rings, and then the movie fed back. I'm afraid it's too late to ferment slowly in this life, so I can only let the movie drive first. ”

Then only the production of top-notch movies can do this, good and excellent are not good, it must be excellent!

When he was thinking about these things, the fans who followed his Weibo were surprised to find that Mr. Zhang, who had not been more active for a long time, finally remembered his Weibo password, and this time he also sent a rare short video of more than 30 seconds!

"Contracting Teacher Xiao Zhang's beauty and prosperity, I declare that I am a fan of Yan, not a fan of books!"

"This is the victory of Yan Fan! What are those two books, and can you eat them? Teacher Xiao Zhang has sent more videos and selfies. ”

"Who knows what kind of subtitle Zhang Chu is talking about, the return of the last king or the return of the dead? What kind of cavalry is the one in front, this is the rhythm of the battle!"

"Once again, I felt the breadth and profundity of Chinese, and next time I asked Mr. Zhang to add subtitles, otherwise it would be very troublesome to guess. ”

"I don't believe it!unless it's put in front of me, it's fake-nes"

"Stay safe, it looks like it was recorded while driving!"

"It's so fast, since the second part is finished, I'll send it out first. Let's watch the second part first, and you write the third part slowly, don't be in a hurry!"

His fans are now curious about the follow-up plot direction, and at the same time speculated about the two subtitles in Zhang Chu's mouth, which made countless people watch.

On Zhihu's popular discussion list, there are more than 800 guess answers about the follow-up plot of "The Lord of the Rings", and it is rare to have so many people in a short period of time!

"I think it's the return of the dead. As mentioned in the first part, the Ringwraith is actually the nine human kings, but they were deceived and imprisoned by Sauron and became the Black Knight who aided the abuse. I guess the plot behind is that Frodo uses the power of the One Ring to untie the Rings, and allows these former human heroes to return and help them defeat Sauron!"

"It's very good from this angle, since this is the case, it can also be called the return of the king, the return of the king of mankind!"

"Kneel down for the big guy, I really want to see the scene where the ring spirit turns against the water, and then everyone beats Sauron!"

"The Ringwraith is just Sauron's subordinate, even if it is against the water, it is not of much use, it must be defeated with the Ring. ”

No one thinks that Zhang Chu will arrange for Frodo to really destroy the Supreme Demon Ring, this is an artifact, who has ever seen the practice of destroying his own golden finger inside?
