Chapter 968: Get the copyright done
Mofeng Lao Butai, among the breath-holding points of many reporters, Lin Feng slowly announced that today's press conference was held about whether "Infinite Terror" was adapted into TV, movies, and games. Before attending this conference, many reporters also read Lin Feng's masterpiece "Infinite Terror", and were deeply impressed by his ability to write such a novel with novel themes, bold thinking, and huge backgrounds. Although the text is so-so. But Lin Feng is not a writer after all, but a businessman, not to mention, the selling point of this novel is not in the writing. And in the conception.
As for the suggestions of many netizens to adapt it into TV, movies or games, many reporters have also read it and understood it.
Especially after reading so many suggestions. Many reporters have a deeper understanding of "Infinite Horror", and they also deeply realize that if it is adapted into TV, movies or games, it is indeed very exciting and exciting. However, many journalists have more insight than enthusiastic fans, who understand that copyright issues are crucial.
If "Infinite Terror" wants to be adapted into TV, movies, or games, it is delusional if it does not solve this copyright problem. And, more importantly, I'm afraid that these enthusiastic fans are doing bad things with good intentions. The so-called no traitors are not businessmen, and now it is clear that many fans want "Infinite Horror" to be remade into TV, movies and games, and those profiteers who own these copyrights will have ghosts if they don't take the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise prices!
None of the Bills of Motion Pictures acquired. That's why there is one in the minds of many reporters. Bold thoughts. However, the acquisition of "MGM Pictures" involves an amount of up to $400 million, just for the rights to adapt a novel, which is a bit too exaggerated.
But no matter what Lin Feng thinks, he can give everyone an answer today.
Lin Feng glanced around. Smile slightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to this press conference, and I'm sure you've all guessed what you're going to do today. Lin Feng said slowly.
Many reporters held their breath and waited for Lin Feng to speak.
"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to those readers who have enthusiastically supported Infinite Terror, and how much they have supported Infinite Terror. And some really nice advice, xiexie, thank you very much. Lin Feng got up, bowed slightly, and said.
Although the major domestic TV stations did not broadcast this press conference live, Lin Feng's "TV station" and "Tomato Network" under "Second Shijie" broadcast it live. Western readers and many readers who watched the press conference through the Internet heard Lin Feng's words. Their hearts were pounding, and they were very much looking forward to Lin Feng's next words. I don't know if Lin Feng will be able to adapt "Infinite Horror" into TV, movies, or games as they wish.
"For all of you, enthusiastic readers and fans want to adapt "Infinite Terror" into TV and movies. and games, I personally very much agree with and look forward to it. However, there is a problem with this, that is, the words of Lin Feng made everyone's hearts tense when they heard it.
Listening to Lin Feng's words, many readers also think of the many scenes in the novel, if you want to adapt it into a movie, or a game, the true restoration of these scenes will inevitably involve many scenes, which will involve many copyright issues.
What should I do? Lin Feng is going to do it.
"Personally, I'd love to adapt it into a TV, movie, or game, but I can't get the copyright. Especially if some companies want to sit on the ground and raise prices, it will be a blow. I hope that those companies will be able to lower royalties for the sake of fans and game fans around the world. If I can't lower it, but start the price, I can only regret that I am sorry! After all, I want to shoot "Infinite Terror". Actor fees and post-computer production alone are a lot of expenses, and there is really no financial resources to pay high copyright fees. Lin Feng sighed helplessly.
After hearing this, many reporters were in an uproar. Lin Feng's trick is wonderful, the pressure exerted by many readers and fans on Lin Feng is now all passed on by Lin Feng's light words to those companies that own the film rights involved in the novel, if these companies really want to sit on the ground and raise the price, Lin Feng can give up, and then readers will not blame Lin Feng, but will blame those companies, which not only has no impact on Lin Feng and his companies, but is of great benefit to them, and can gain the trust of readers.
But Lin Feng is more than that. ,
"Of course, I'm going to try to make it happen. I'm going to have a copyright summit in the near future. A discussion was held with the film companies that own the film rights involved in these novels to discuss the cooperation between the two parties. I hope that many film companies will be able to attend!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Many reporters secretly gave a thumbs up, so that those film companies could not refuse. It will have to come. After all, this kind of thing, if it doesn't come, will have a big impact on its image.
The so-called public standard gold,
The power of the deer in the small world is too great. Even the government will give in, not to mention that the film is public, and now these readers are not crazy enough, not fanatical enough. Pressure on these studios also.
"If we finally reach an agreement with a number of studios, I can guarantee that the filming of the Infinite Horror series will start in the shortest possible time. At the same time, I will take the suggestions of many readers. It will be modeled after the many squads involved in the novel, based on each sub-committee's opinion, and each will shoot a TV series independently, and then the fate of each squad will be decided according to the audience's vote, whether they will be eliminated, or move on. The audience will even be able to decide whether each member of each squad lives or dies. Lin Feng said with a smile.
Numerous journalists took a deep breath. This patch is fierce enough, if Lin Feng shoots a TV series according to each continent, this in itself can satisfy the desires of fans from all over the world, and at the same time, Lin Feng actually adopts the audience vote to decide the fate of the "squad", which is a very bold decision, an epoch-making decision, which will connect the audience and TV together, and will attract more viewers who are not "Infinite Horror" to join this "Infinite Horror Shijie", which will further expand the sales of "Infinite Horror". Increasing the number of fans of Infinite Horror will also be able to add more viewers at that time. It's going to be a virtuous cycle.
Sheep, for anyone. all have a patriotic complex, especially this kind of knockout game, even if they don't like it very much, they will pay attention to it and support their "national team".
Clever! Clever!
Lin Feng's jihua is obviously very much in line with the appetite of many readers of "Infinite Horror". After all, for the reading of "Infinite Horror" across the country, the novel of "Infinite Horror" is based on Chinese, which is somewhat distant and estranged for Westerners, and now Lin Feng shoots a separate and tandem TV series according to the differences of each country, which is undoubtedly very good.
After the press conference, many readers expressed their views on this matter on the Internet for the first time, without exception, they all supported Lin Feng's proposal, and supported Lin Feng to shoot their own independent TV series, of course, if you want to make Lin Feng's idea a reality, first of all, it must be authorized by various film copyright companies, otherwise. It's all a mirage, it's all a mirror.
A global fan of "Infinite Terror" shouted on the Internet, hoping that many film copyright companies could authorize Lin Feng to fulfill their dream. For the appeal of many readers, many film copyright companies are also a headache.
Originally, they were going to get a vote for this matter, and they were going to get a vote from Lin Feng ruthlessly. After all, Lin Feng's money is not so easy to earn, and it has always been his money. Taking advantage of others, now that they finally have an opportunity, they will naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came out like this, and as a result, all the pressure was put on them. If they take the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price. Lin Feng shook it outside when he arrived, that's good, their companies must be set up on the ground. The reputation of being greedy for money and loving wealth is not a good reputation.
Of course, no matter how much pressure readers have, they can also turn a blind eye, after all, the main thing for readers to watch movies is to look at the actors, directors and plots, not to see which movie was filmed. It can be said that the appeal of the reader is nothing at all. They're still holding on!
No presumption
However, once this matter collapses, Lin Feng can completely imitate a movie like "Screaming Laughter", steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and change the name slightly. can be openly released. As for reading, although it is a bit awkward to look at it this way, under Lin Feng's precautionary shots, this is not unacceptable. In this way, in the end, the film companies that hold these copyrights do not get any benefits, but cause a commotion.
Don't count! Don't count! Many vice presidents of film companies, you look at me, I look at you, they all think that no matter how this matter is calculated, they are all calculated by Lin Feng. And it's a blatant calculation. "Guys, how's it going, how are you thinking about it?" I believe this, and the price is very sincere. Lin Feng pointed to the contract in front of him and said. ,
When the vice presidents of many film companies look at the contract, they can't see the sincerity. Lin Feng's bargaining chip was actually a full copyright buyout fee of $40,000 per year, which Lin Feng could arbitrarily adapt into TV, movies, or games, including related products. Of course, these studios also get a share of the nephew's profits.
That's not a low price. After all, the rights to these films of many companies are not sold, and they have been stored in the warehouse, which is of no use. On the contrary, selling to Lin Feng can earn a little extra money. It's not much, but it's more or less a subsidy. It's just that this is a bit far from everyone's ideal price.
The vice president of the film company, Zou frowned, Linfeng's price is too cheap, although in essence, Lin Feng can offer a copyright buyout fee of $10,000 per film involved in the film and !; profit share, which is already pretty good. But. Think about the profits that Infinite Horror will make once filming starts, as well as the rights to the movie and the game. That's a low price. What's more, Lin Feng wants to be related! P product is copyrighted, which makes many companies angry.
Thinking about it this way, this price is naturally too low, and it is very insincere. They earn too little!
Lin Feng naturally understood everyone's thoughts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will be clear-faced. The movies involved in the novels are all familiar to everyone, and it can be said that they are very familiar to all audiences. Lin Feng said slowly.
Many film companies frowned, not knowing what Lin Feng wanted to say.
"If you think the price of the concubine is too low. If the sincerity is not enough, then I can only say it with regret. We couldn't agree on a great TV series for all audiences. Murafeng said helplessly.
Many vice presidents, hearing this, were stunned, they didn't expect Lin Feng to be... Will be so happy to refuse. It's so, it's amazing, it's a little bit unbelievable.
Could it be that Lin Feng didn't care about this at all? Everyone couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't figure it out. Lin Feng smiled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just reminded you that these movies are familiar to everyone, and it can be said that from the actors, to the scenes, to the development of the plot, the audience is quite familiar with it, and they all know it very well. Qingrong - let me make such a bold assumption, if I invite these original actors back during the filming of the TV series, restore the costumes in their plays, restore the scenes, and just change the names, what do you think the audience will think?" said Lin Fengchong, many vice presidents.
Everyone frowned. If this is the case, then for the audience, this is undoubtedly the original work. After all, for the audience, the deepest memory is sensory stimulation, and the original cast of the original movie is immediately in battle, even if the name is slightly different, for the audience, it is the original work. So. Lin Feng can be said to have no need to pay any royalties at all.
Of course, this involves a premise, that is, the salary of these actors. These are all movies, many of them are still big productions, and some of their actors are paid a lot of money, can Lin Feng pay them? But looking at Lin Feng's attitude, I'm afraid that Lin Feng was ready to invite the original cast of these original movies to shoot the TV series-7 from the very beginning.
Thinking of this possibility, the vice presidents of many film companies took a deep breath. It's too exaggerated to use movie actors and jishu to shoot a TV series. It's incredible. I'm afraid this kind of crazy thing can only be done by Lin Feng, it's crazy!
"Mr. Lin, even so, if there is a formal authorization, I believe that the audience will be a little more receptive, and it will also be good for your subsequent related development, right?" said the vice president of Fox Films.
"That's right, that's why I've offered a $10,000 per year lCo and a profit share, a price that I believe no other company can give you. After all, most of these movies are outdated. No other company will buy the copyright. Lin Feng said decidedly.
The vice president of many film companies, the referee, nodded helplessly. This is indeed true, although these - movies were once a hit, but inevitably. They are outdated, they are the yellow flowers of yesteryear. And these movies are not like the Oy series, unlike Disney's animations, which have always had a strong vitality, and most of them will be scattered with the wind once they are screened, and will only be occasionally talked about in some programs similar to film history in the future.
Therefore, Lin Feng's price is not low! but it is associated with the profits that "Infinite Horror" may generate. The vice presidents of many film companies really don't want to sell all the company's copyrights so cheaply. ,
Lin Feng frowned slightly. Although you can shoot without copyright, you can't develop related products, which is a fairly large market with considerable profits, and Lin Feng doesn't want to give up.
"In that case, ladies and gentlemen, it is better for us to come to an agreement. Since this time I will be preparing to shoot the "Intercontinental Squad" that appeared in the novel as the protagonist of their respective countries, it can be said that more film materials will be needed, and at the moment I only buy the film materials of "Li", which is obviously not enough now. Lin Feng said.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should know that with the promotion of the novel "Infinite Horror", many readers have rented discs when reading novels, or downloaded movies on the Internet, and watched them again to understand the plot of the movie. I think this is a business opportunity for you. We can work together - I choose the movies according to the needs of the TV series, and then you can choose 2-!j movies of the same genre to bundle up, and then I will launch a series of activities. For example, players can guess which °C is it, staring at Ya-, VI.", "A certain reward, such as being able to draw lucky viewers to visit the live shooting of the TV series, or having the honor of playing a dozen extras in the TV series. Lin Feng said with a smile.
When everyone heard it and thought about it carefully, it was a good idea. In this way, many of their films can undoubtedly create profits for the company again and rejuvenate the second spring. Anyway, these movies are in stock. It's also a library-store-, which can be taken out and shown. It's also a little bit of income.
"How is it, everyone, are you satisfied now?" Lin Feng asked.
Everyone looked at me, I, looked at you, and nodded. Lin Feng's chips were very satisfied. In particular, it can also promote the company's other films to be released again, which is undoubtedly a satisfactory loss.
Immediately, Lin Feng signed copyright buyout agreements with the vice presidents of many film companies, and immediately held a press conference to announce the acquisition of all the film rights involved in the novel. and announced that the TV version of "Infinite Terror" will start filming in the near future. Moreover, Lin Feng also announced that he would try his best to use the color from the original movie to participate in the filming of the TV version of "Infinite Terror", and announced an open call for scripts from various countries "Intercontinental Squad", and the winner will receive a prize of SO million US dollars and the right to participate in the filming of the TV series.
When I heard the news, I was shaken.
For many media, Lin Feng's ability to win many film copyrights so smoothly is in itself outside many media. As they seem. This time, these film companies should take the opportunity to rip off the bamboo. Make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, many film companies are just for a mere million dollars r,.and!; The profit share of the achievement agreed, which is really too surprising to many Western media.
Of course, what is even more surprising is that Lin Feng actually announced that he would choose the original crew from the original movie to participate in the shooting, which is simply jaw-dropping. You must know that most of these movies were filmed by Hollywood, and their actors and jishu were all Hollywood, and Lin Feng actually wanted to mobilize Hollywood movie players to shoot TV series, which was a big deal! And it was shot all over the world!
But it is undeniable that Lin Feng's move has delighted all readers, who are looking forward to the long-awaited "Infinite Terror" - which is finally going to be filmed into a TV series.
It's finally going to be filmed into a TV series!
For the first time, enthusiastic readers from various countries began to adapt the "Intercontinental Squad" of various countries based on the original work of "Infinite Terror". In addition to satisfying their respective fanaticism for "Infinite Horror", if they are lucky enough to be adopted, they can also get a prize of 500,000 US dollars, which is very tempting.
Of course, not only that, Lin Feng also announced that he would develop "Infinite Horror" but a stand-alone game and an online game, which once again set off a frenzy of all "Infinite Horror" fans, who posted to the "second shijie" and put forward various rationalization suggestions, and even many talents in the industry recommended themselves and were willing to join the development team about "Infinite Horror", and claimed that they were willing to start from scratch and start from the bottom.
For this situation, it is undoubtedly beyond Lin Feng's expectations, out of the "second shijie" preparatory department, no one thought that just with "Infinite Terror", the company can recruit elite-talents from the industry, and these talents are actually willing to deign to start from the bottom, which is undoubtedly even more incredible.
Of course, there is only one such pavilion, and that is the crowd's enthusiasm for "Infinite Terror". Or rather, optimistic about "Infinite Terror". Such a game, to be developed, also needs to have the same creative thinking as "Infinite Horror", and it will be an epoch-making game. If they are fortunate enough to join this game development team, even if the current income is low, it is a rare opportunity for their life experience, which is of considerable benefit to the future development of everyone.
Of course, for the "second shijie", there is a shortage of talents, after all, it is necessary to develop both the "Infinite Horror" stand-alone game and the online version of the game, and the existing third game development department. Wu Gang's Tridacnum only has more than XII. This is not enough. Just by passing this opportunity. Massive search for talent.
Bastard, the talents are all taken away by you, what should we do?—Many domestic game companies said indignantly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they curse, it can't change this fact. It is undoubtedly quite sad that the same or even higher treatment cannot retain outstanding talents. But this can't be blamed on those jishu talents, the so-called people go to high places, and water flows to low places. The "second shijie" is obviously more promising, and there is no reason why they should not come.
When the "second shijie" was preparing for a nationwide recruitment campaign, good news came from South Africa.
