Chapter 428: Sharpen the knife Huo Huo to the fat sheep!
If Yida's copyright resources are rich enough, who can assert that Yida's theme park cannot become China's Disneyland?
It's just that it takes a lot of time and skill, and it's not something that can be done just by throwing money into it.
There is money, there are publicity channels, but the content has to keep up, if there is nothing attractive about the park, why should others pay a high price to play in it?
Happy Valley and Chimelong Happy World are all good choices, and Yida has to make something unique.
On the one hand, they value the potential of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but on the other hand, they are worried about the control of Zhang Chu, the author, so they simply use a film as an experiment now.
Anyway, film and television are the foundation of all adaptations, and everyone's acceptance of movies and TV series is very high, so that the accumulated readers and word-of-mouth can slowly be transformed into potential consumers and communicators.
10 million yuan to buy film adaptation rights, this is definitely a treatment that can only be enjoyed by top IP, Zhang Chu's current popularity and film and television adaptation experience give him the confidence to call this price to Yida Pictures!
The same work, in the hands of different writers, sells for different prices, proving that their own writers can get a higher price.
Every writer wants to see their work on the big screen, and they see something not only for the copyright fee, but also for the rest of the conditions given by the film and television company.
The quality of films that can be brought about by different investment amounts varies greatly, and most of the time the production of films with large investments is more sophisticated, and under the same conditions, Zhang Chu will definitely choose a large company over a small company.
"Uncle Zhou, you tell Yida not to worry about the tomb robbery universe, it's a natural thing, and the top priority is to make the movie well. That's the most important thing!"
If the film and television effect of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not good, how can the tomb robbery universe be opened?
If you take it one step at a time, it is easy to fall short if you want to make a great leap forward.
After Zhou Kang listened to Zhang Chu's words, he nodded steadily: "Yes, whether you can successfully open the tomb robbery universe depends on every work." In other words, I think the film and television adaptation cost of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" is about 10 million, but they still have to pay follow-up dividends. ”
"Yes, box office dividends and peripheral goods need to be given to us dividends, and that little money is really nothing to authorize in one go. ”
Knowing that if the movie "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is filmed well, it can hit the box office of 2 billion yuan, if Zhang Chu gives up dividends for 10 million, it will definitely be a fool's behavior of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons!
Now Yida Pictures must get the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", at this time, if the lion doesn't open his mouth to bite the fat sheep, when will it be?
"The copyright fee of 10 million yuan can be talked about, but the box office dividend of 5% and the licensing dividend of peripheral goods cannot be less. ”
The copyright fee can be less, and the dividends can't be moved, Zhang Chu can be regarded as holding the lifeblood of Yida Pictures, anyway, their group has money, and they will talk about it when they get it.
The 5% box office dividend should be regarded as a strange thing in the adaptation of the work, and most film and television companies will not agree to this condition, let alone the profit dividend of peripheral goods.
In his previous life, when he was on the earth, Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man, not only with that salary and box office dividends, but even half of the profit from the peripheral products of the role of Iron Man, which can be called a master of money grabbing!
Zhou Kang thought that his mental calculation was too big, but he never expected Zhang Chu's condition to be so harsh, and he began to have some doubts, would Yida Pictures really accept such a condition?
However, as an agent, his task is to sing black face and slowly negotiate with Yida Pictures, "I try to communicate, as long as they are willing to sit down and talk, it proves that there is definitely hope for this." ”
"Negotiate as much as you can, time is our weapon. If Yida really wants to open up the situation from the side of culture and entertainment, then they must be more anxious than us. ”
Zhang Chu said unhurriedly that there are many potential buyers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", in addition to Yida Pictures, there are also China Film, Hengdian Film and Television, Guangguang Media, Jinyi Film and Television, Bona Film Huaqiang Fangte and other companies.
No one in more than 30 companies wants to miss such an IP feast, and the gimmick of tomb robbery is very big, even if everyone knows that this movie adaptation right is difficult to get, they all want to contact and try it.
So far, no one this year has seen sales as well as the New Year's Day release of "Ghost Blows the Lantern," the originator of tomb robbery that has led the way since its birth.
From the elderly in their sixties and seventies, to the students in their teens, they are all keen to read this book, and it has only been 3 and a half months since it was sold, but the sales have come to a terrifying 2.5 million copies, and it is in the top 30 ranks of the best-selling book list every day!
This is only the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the groundbreaking work can achieve such high sales and word of mouth, which completely paves a golden avenue for subsequent works.
As long as Zhang Chu himself is not real, as long as the quality can be maintained, then this book is fully qualified to compete for the title of best-selling Chinese series!
After ending the call with Zhou Kang, Zhang Chu looked at the wicker swaying in the wind on the shore of Weiming Lake with some distraction.
This time, of course, he still wants to cooperate with Yida Pictures, after all, this can allow his influence to transcend the field and enter the rest of the unfamiliar fields.
Even if those film companies have good strength, they can shoot "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" very well, and even get billions of box office results, but their influence cannot radiate to ordinary people.
Yida Group has the strength to promote the ghost blowing lantern to every household, even if the box office of the movie is high, can it be higher than the sales of amusement park tickets and peripheral products every year?
What's more, movies are just a one-time deal, but amusement parks can be profitable for a long time.
At present, there is no writer in China who puts his work in an amusement park as a theme tourism project, and Zhang Chu wants to be the first person to eat crabs!
Although Stan Lee's feat can't be replicated, as long as it is realized, everyone will think of his name when they see the Ghost Blowing Lantern Theme Park.
There's nothing more exciting than that, and the gap between short-term earnings and long-term earnings is too far away.
This is a big gamble, Yida Pictures and Zhang Chu both want each other to take a step back, and even Yida Group took out Legendary Pictures as a bargaining chip, promising to let the ghost blow the lamp with a Hollywood production team and release it in North America!
After all, Wang Jianlin not only wants to make money from Chinese, but also wants to earn money from foreigners.
