Chapter 14: Game Adaptation!
Ye Jun drove He Chen to a hotel, which was luxuriously decorated, and there were luxury cars in the room.
How much does it cost to eat a meal here?
He Chen thought that although the family conditions were good, his parents had always been frugal, and they would go to some larger restaurants at most, which they had never been to a star-rated hotel.
"Mr. Ye, is it an old place?" the front desk asked familiarly when he saw Mr. Ye come in.
Ye Jun nodded, familiar with the road, and took He Chen through the lobby and went straight to the private room on the second floor.
"Mr. Ye often comes?"
Ye Jun asked He Chen to sit on the main seat, He Chen was uncomfortable, looking at the surrounding furnishings, and talking casually.
The interior of the house is elegantly decorated, the sound insulation effect is good, and when you close the door, you can instantly isolate the noisy noise outside the house, like a paradise.
"Hehe, in this business, there will be more entertainment, and more will come. β
Ye Jun smiled self-deprecatingly, and then instructed the waiter to serve the food, and Mr. Ye didn't care if the two of them could finish it, in short, he ordered a lot of dishes that He Chen didn't know what it was when he heard the name.
He Chen pretended to be calm and drank tea, Ye Jun didn't mention the adaptation, and he didn't mention it either.
Ye Jun was silent for a while, and suddenly shook his head: "Xiaoyou is really calm!"
"What?" He Chen was stunned for a moment and asked strangely.
"Actually, you're also in a hurry, aren't you?" Ye Jun said suddenly.
He Chen shouted, "Why are you ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he immediately reacted, regardless of whether Ye was always bluffing himself, he would not admit himself if he called it.
Mr. Ye laughed, squinted his eyes, pointed to He Chen's hand and said, "As soon as you come in, you drink tea with water, are you really that thirsty?"
He Chen blushed, although his age was not as young as he seemed, but at the negotiation table, he was a junior brother in both lives, and nervousness was inevitable.
Originally, he wanted to use tea to cover himself, but he didn't expect Mr. Ye to see at once that he was worthy of being an old fox who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Since it was punctured, He Chen simply put down the cup, and the tension in his heart disappeared - the big deal will collapse, change the company to see, afraid of a yarn?
Mr. Ye smiled, it was the first time I came to this kind of place to talk about things, of course I was nervous. β
Nervous and nervous can be said differently.
If He Chen frankly said that the negotiations for the adaptation of the game were tense, then Ye Jun might sit on the ground and raise the price, further lowering the originally expected price.
But He Chen said that he was nervous because of the first negotiation, so this only shows that he is inexperienced, and he suddenly dissolves Ye Jun's aggressiveness and invisibility.
"Really?" Ye Jun laughed loudly, did not continue to ask, and praised He Chen, "It is true that someone who can create that kind of story at such an age is really extraordinary." β
Then, Ye Jun put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at He Chen, his eyes burning: "Then we don't have to say more, you should already know my situation......
He Chen looked embarrassed, the old fox already knew that he had deliberately targeted him by saying loudly that the game change was aimed at him, and he happened to be next door to him, so he immediately guessed that he had eavesdropped on his conversation.
It's not glamorous to say that.
He Chen nodded: "By chance, I heard it by chance, and I heard it a little bit, and I blamed their room for the poor sound insulation." β
Ye Jun didn't know whether he agreed with He Chen's words, or because He Chen calmly said the fact that he had eavesdropped, he nodded: "I'm really in a hurry, but if you want to take advantage of the fire and ask for a high adaptation fee, then you think too much...... In fact, I don't have much working capital now, and even if "Magic Map" gives me the right to adapt, I can't buy it. β
"Then you still ......"
Seeing He Chen's curious appearance, Ye Jun snorted and laughed: "Then I'm going to talk to them about the adaptation rights?" Hehe, Li Sen wants to kill me, and I won't make him look good." I deliberately talked to Kong Guangwen about the adaptation of "Magic Map", and he would definitely squeeze me with an exponential price. "Magic Map" is one of the best-selling fantasy novels right now, and the adapted game is sure to be a big hit, so the adaptation cost is extremely high, and I can't get it, and I have to disgust him. β
Kong Guangwen is the editor-in-chief, and Li Sen must be the high-level of the prosperous era who has a conflict with Ye Jun.
"So...... You already knew about the cooperation between Kong Guangwen and Shengshi?!"
Ye Jun despised He Chen: "You can see it, I won't be able to see it?"
He Chen thought about it, and he could see that something was wrong from the tone and demeanor of Editor-in-Chief Kong and Xiao Chen, could this old fox not see it?
Suddenly, he found a problem: "Wait, you said that the adaptation of "Magic Map" is very expensive, and you went to talk about the adaptation to give them the illusion that you still have enough funds, so as to paralyze them, let them use the funds elsewhere, and then buy time for themselves!"
Ye Jun's eyes lit up, and he revealed a little, this kid really pushed these out?
He Chen's heart froze, and not only is it an old fox, it is simply a nine-tailed demon fox who has cultivated to perfection.
Although he can deduce it at the time, this is also the reason why he has the information of the two parties, and Ye Jun has some points to himself, if he is in the game, he will never think of these details, and he will not be able to do it.
It seems that when talking to this person, you have to pay 120,000 points of attention, otherwise you will be sold by him and count the money for him if you are not careful.
"All this is to show my sincerity. β
Ye Jun took a sip of tea and looked at He Chen calmly: "Now you know, my money will not be a lot, and it is estimated that it will not meet your expectations, but I am very sincere! Because I only have you as a game, I will run this game wholeheartedly." β
After finishing speaking, Ye Jun waited quietly for He Chen.
The dishes were gradually put together, and there were a lot of dazzling dishes, but He Chen's eyes saw the bizarre PokΓ©mon world.
"A million! I want the rights to the entire game. However, I pay in installments. Ye Jun threw out his price.
This price is afraid that the jaw will drop in shock in the eyes of others, this already belongs to the category of popular first-class novel adaptations, but this is just a villain book, a newcomer, the price of the first work, I am afraid that even if it is paid in installments, there will be countless people rushing to it.
However, He Chen wants more than that, 1 million, the adaptation rights of all games?
It's too low!
"Your sincerity touched me!" He Chen gently turned the teacup on the table, "However, I don't want cash, and I will only give you the right to adapt a handheld game, 50% of the profits!"
He Chen didn't know about the sales of handheld machines in the world, so he asked for a profit commission, which was equivalent to a fifty-fifty share of the net profit.
Ye Jun frowned, the profit is half of the profits? Or is it just the adaptation right of a handheld game?
This kind of request is very strange, it is equivalent to tying him to himself, if he does not survive the sniping of the prosperous world, then Ye Jun will not get a penny, and the adaptation rights of the handheld game can no longer be sold to others.
However, if you can snipe under the sniping of the prosperous age, this game can still generate more than 2 million profits......
He felt that He Chen was a little too confident.
"My opponent is very strong, it is Shengshi. Ye Jun knocked on the table and reminded He Chen.
He Chen smiled lightly and said confidently: "Thank you for the reminder, your sincerity has touched me again." I agree, I will give priority to you in the future game adaptation rights. β
"Actually, it's best for you to collect 1 million, and you don't have to spend a little effort to earn 1 million in vain, isn't that good?"
"Hehe, pretending to be a little bit forced, making money is not what I want; to be realistic, this game is not something that can be stopped by just one million!" He Chen drank the rest of the tea in one gulp and looked at Ye Jun: "Mr. Ye, you have lived longer than me and have seen more than me, but what I said to Editor-in-Chief Kong at the beginning, I still want to give it to you: short-sighted!"
After speaking, He Chen stood up and looked down at Ye Jun condescendingly: "This is a piece of cake that has not yet been divided, and the benefits contained in it are beyond the imagination of everyone in the world! I will make all of you tremble under the charm of comics!"
ββ¦β¦ That's what I thought back then. Ye Jun seemed to see his own shadow in He Chen.
"But you're not me!"
He Chen made a loud noise.
Ye Jun thought that He Chen was like himself back then, with a sharp edge, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.
But only he understands what He Chen meant: You are not me, I have a system, you don't!
This is a unique condition - or a plug-in, if you can't do it with a plug-in, He Chen might as well commit suicide directly and wait for the next crossing.
"Okay, since you dare to fight, why don't I dare? Anyway, I lost money, and you are with me. Ah, the mood is much better!" Mr. Ye seemed to be much younger all of a sudden, and said exaggeratedly.
"Handheld game adaptation rights, give you a 50% commission on profits, but I have a request!"
"What requirements?"
"After the profit exceeds five million, the commission will be given!"
ββ¦β¦ Test?"
"It's not a test, it's just that seeing how confident you are, I want to see where your confidence comes from. Five million, if you reach it, you will be able to divide two and a half million, which is much higher than before, and if you lose, or less than five million, you will not have a penny...... Listen clearly, it's profit, not sales!"
Five million profits, that is, from the sales, after deducting a lot of costs, labor, machines, sales channels, and so on.
It may be easy for online games, but for domestic handhelds, this level is already a popular game.
This kind of condition is simply bullying, less than five million, even if it is four million .99 million, then He Chen will not have a penny.
Ye Jun made a crazy decision in his heart, and his eyes became grim: "Didn't you say that this cake is beyond everyone's imagination? Then let me see how big this cake is!
"Hehe, since you want to gamble, you might as well bet big! Within a year, it will reach 5 million! If you can't reach it, I won't take a penny! If it does, I need you to promise me a condition!"
"On what terms?"
"Rest assured, of course it won't be illegal, and it won't be anything bad...... On the contrary, I guess this condition is very beneficial to you!"
"Okay, I promise!" Ye Jun is not a person who is afraid of things, he immediately agreed, and then remembered something, and asked He Chen: "You are this...... The comics haven't been published yet, do you need me to introduce them? I still have a few people I know, and although the publisher is a little smaller, it's okay to publish these. β
"No, I have my own way!"
He Chen's neat refusal, after this day's attempt, he has already despaired of those publishing houses - even the largest ones are like this, what can small publishing houses do?
His purpose is to let more people see and feel the charm of comics!
Now, he has a solution!
