Chapter 135: Entering Europe and the United States
The preparation process of a TV series is quite cumbersome, although the copyright issue of the novel has been negotiated, but the actual start of filming will not be until half a year later, Tang and Song now have to hurry up and get the script out, while Gu Ge is going to attract investment, and start to prepare for the formation of the crew. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Langya Bang" is adapted by copyright and screenwriter, Tang and Song can get a total of 400,000 yuan, of which 270,000 is the screenwriter's fee for him, that is to say, the film and television adaptation rights of "Langya Bang" are only 130,000, which is naturally too little from the perspective of Tang and Song Dynasties, after all, he knows how high the ratings of "Langya Bang" are, but from Google's point of view, paying 130,000 yuan for a novel with almost no readers is quite a face.
Tang and Song Dynasty sold "Langya Bang" mainly because of the conditions he proposed, that is, in "Langya Bang", he asked for the recommended quota of two main supporting roles, this main supporting role is not the dragon set in "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", but the main character who has a name, has lines, and can promote the development of the plot, and is a character with a certain star-making ability!
Tang Song hasn't figured out which two roles he wants, but he has enough time to think about it, and he hopes that this opportunity can help his students really gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
After signing the agreement with Gu Ge, Tang Song began to get busy again, and the script adaptation was not a difficult thing for Tang Song, but it took a lot of time to do it.
After sending away the ancient song, Tang Song received a call from Song Ke again, the two advertising MVs have been completed after a month of post-production, Song Ke sent the two MVs to Tang Song's mailbox, and asked Tang Song to see if there is anything that needs to be changed.
"No problem, it's very OK, but this MV is too long, isn't it fifteen seconds for ordinary advertisements?" Tang Song thought it would be a fifteen-second small advertisement, but he didn't expect Song Ke to edit two short films that were nearly three minutes long, this short film is only suitable for playing on the Internet, it is obviously not realistic on TV, and the advertising fee is sky-high.
"These two MV companies are going to use them to hit the charts, and the short films played in the advertisements have to be confirmed by the sponsors, and it's useless to show them, so I didn't send them to you. Song Ke explained.
Sprite is an international brand with its own advertising department, Tang Song doesn't know how Rainbow International persuaded Sprite to hand over the advertisement to them to shoot, but in the end, the sponsor decided to put the advertising film on its own, but it can be understood.
"Do you have any comments from the sponsors?" asked Tang Song curiously.
The Sprite advertising department has a lot of opinions about Tang Song being responsible for the shooting of the MV, although Rainbow International did not mention this to Tang Song, but it can be seen in the attitude of the producer who is responsible for managing the funds dispatched by the sponsor during the shooting of the MV.
"Don't you really say it, in the morning, the senior leaders of their US headquarters came to inspect, and they liked our commercial very much, and they seemed to be planning to buy the copyright of this song as the theme song of their product, but now it has been dragged down by our Director Xu, I will tell you the truth, Director Xu probably wants to buy the copyright of your song. Song Ke secretly broke a fierce news for Tang Song.
"Isn't it, is it, you Rainbow International is still doing this kind of second-class dealer's thing, making the hard-earned money of small people like us?" Tang Song said incredulously, "How much money does sprite plan to pay for the copyright of my song, so that your company doesn't even want to lose face?" Fortunately, you have a thorough understanding with me, otherwise I may not be taken advantage of by the domess surnamed Xu!"
"I don't know the specifics, I'm just a little MV director, what can I know the inside story, in short, it's just such a thing, that's all I know, you keep an eye on yourself!"
Tang Song was glad that he still had such an undercover agent as Song Ke in Rainbow International, otherwise he would have to be cheated for a lot of money.
"You can't sell the copyright to Rainbow International even if you die!" Tang Song silently made a decision in his heart, most of the money to buy a house was still missing, no matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat, and they must not let the surnamed Xu take advantage.
The next day, Xu Zhiping really came to Tang Song in person to talk about the copyright of the song "We-Will-Rock-You".
"Director Xu, this song is a song I like very much, and I will definitely not sell it for copyright!" Tang Song, who had a long psychological background, opened his mouth and said that it was not for sale.
"Mr. Tang, there is no song you wrote before that does not sell copyrights, why is this song unwilling to sell?" Xu Zhiping continued to persuade, "The price can be discussed, we can give you a satisfactory price!"
"Satisfactory price?" Tang Song's purpose in putting out the non-selling items was to raise the price, "I don't know how much Director Xu is willing to pay." ”
"See the money!" Looking at Tang Song's hypocritical smile, Xu Zhiping scolded Tang Song in his heart for being shameless.
"The general price in the industry, Mr. Tang should know that we Rainbow International can give you 200,000 yuan for this song, and I believe that except for our Rainbow International, no entertainment company can give you more than this price!" Xu Zhiping said confidently.
"Sure enough, being rich is amazing!" Tang Song muttered silently in his heart, thinking of Xu Zhiping like a proud peacock when they met for the first time, even if they used money to smash it, they had to let themselves write a few songs for her, and they despised Xu Zhiping again in their hearts.
"Director Xu is really generous, but I'm curious why you Rainbow International are suddenly so generous, there is a saying that when things go wrong, there must be demons, the higher the price you offer, the more reluctant I am to sell!" Tang Song said with a wicked smile.
"Mr. Tang, I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why we at Rainbow International bought this song is because the senior management of Sprite's US headquarters hopes to obtain the copyright of this song as the theme song of their company's products for the next quarter. Xu Zhiping's answer was unexpected by Tang and Song, shouldn't this kind of thing be hidden from himself, how can he be a second-class dealer when he says it?
"Then let the sprite talk to me himself, you Rainbow International don't want to make a referral fee from it. Tang Song looked at Xu Zhiping, which made Xu Zhiping angry.
"Fart!" Xu Zhiping's all the connotations collapsed directly at this moment, "The reason why we Rainbow International want to buy the copyright of the song from you is because we don't want sprite to get the copyright of this song!"
Xu Zhiping's words surprised Tang Song again, he didn't want Sprite to get the copyright of "We-Will-Rock-You", what kind of routine was this? Tang Song found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
"Why?" asked shamelessly, this was a major advantage of the Tang and Song dynasties.
"Because this is a good opportunity for us at Rainbow International, an opportunity to enter Europe and the United States!" Xu Zhiping knew that if he didn't explain it to Tang Song, Tang Song would never give her the copyright.
"Entering Europe and the United States?" Tang Song was taken aback, what kind of routine is this?
