Chapter 967: Applying Pressure
In the midst of the breath-holding points of many reporters, Lin Feng slowed down today's press conference on whether "Infinite Terror" was adapted into TV, movies, and games. Before attending this meeting, many reporters also read Lin Feng's masterpiece "Infinite Terror", and they were deeply impressed by his ability to write such a novel theme, bold thinking, and huge background. Although the text is so-so. But Lin Feng is not a writer but a businessman after all, not to mention that the selling point of this book 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 and understood it.
Especially after reading so many suggestions. Many reporters have a deeper understanding of "Infinite Horror", and they also deeply feel that if it is adapted into a TV, movie or game, it is indeed very exciting and exciting. However, many journalists are more knowledgeable than enthusiastic fans, but they are deeply aware of the crucial copyright issues.
If "Infinite Terror" wants to be adapted into a TV, movie, or game, it is delusional if it does not solve this copyright issue. And more importantly, I'm afraid that these enthusiastic fans are doing bad things with good intentions. The so-called no traitors and no businessmen are now clear, and many fans want "Infinite Terror" 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 the price!
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 adaptation rights of one book, which is a bit too exaggerated.
However, no matter what Lin Feng thinks, he can give everyone an answer today.
Lin Feng glanced around. Smile slightly. "Thank you very much for joining us for today's press conference, and I'm sure you've all guessed what you've been talking about 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 all the readers who have enthusiastically supported Infinite Terror. And some really nice advice, Xiexie, thank you very much. Lin Feng got up and bowed slightly.
Although the major domestic TV stations did not broadcast this news 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 online heard Lin Feng's words. Their hearts were pounding, and they were very much looking forward to Lin Feng's next words. I wonder if Lin Feng will be able to adapt "Infinite Terror" into a TV, movie or game as they wish.
"For all of you, enthusiastic readers and fans want to adapt "Infinite Terror" into TV and movies. And the game I personally very much agree with and look forward to. However, there is a problem with this, that is, Lin Feng's words made everyone's hearts tense when they heard it.
Listening to Lin Feng's words, many readers also think of many scenes, if you want to adapt them into a movie, 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 really want to adapt it into a TV, movie or game, but I can't get the copyright, and I have to be powerless. 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 sit on the ground and start the price, I can only regret and say sorry! After all, I want to shoot "Infinite Terror". Actor fees and post-production alone are a lot of expenses, and I really don't have the financial resources to pay high copyright fees. Lin Feng sighed helplessly.
Many reporters were in an uproar after hearing this. 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 fluttering words to those companies that own the film rights involved, 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 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. Hold a symposium with the film companies that own the film rights involved in these cases to discuss the cooperation between the two parties. I hope that many film companies will be able to attend then!" 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, if this kind of thing does not come, it will have a great impact on its image.
The so-called public standard gold
There is too much pressure on public opinion in the small world. Even the government will succumb, not to mention that the film is public, and now these readers are not crazy enough and 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 series, and each will shoot a TV series independently based on each sub-committee's opinion, and then the fate of each squad will be decided according to the vote of the audience, 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 ** 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 Terror will also be able to add more viewers. It's going to be a virtuous cycle.
Sheep are for anyone. They all have a kind of patriotic complex, especially in this kind of knockout game, even if they don't like it 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 reading "Infinite Terror" across the country, "Infinite Terror" 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 end of 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, supported Lin Feng to shoot their own independent TV series, of course, if you want Lin Feng's idea to become a reality, you must first be authorized by various film copyright companies, otherwise. It's all a mirage, it's all a mirror.
Appeal! Appeal! Strong appeal! A global fan of "Infinite Terror" shouted on the Internet, hoping that many film copyright companies could authorize Lin Feng to realize 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 Fenglai came out like this, and the result pushed all the pressure on them. If they take the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price. Lin Feng shook it outside when he arrived, it was good, and their companies would definitely be installed on the ground. The reputation of being greedy for money and being rich is not a good reputation.
Of course, no matter how much pressure the reader has, they can turn a blind eye, after all, the reader still looks at the actors, the director and the plot when watching a movie, rather than seeing which movie it was filmed by. It can be said that the reader's appeal is nothing at all. They're still holding on!
No presumption
But once this matter is discussed, Lin Feng can completely imitate a movie like "Screaming" to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix, and change the name a little. can be openly released. As for reading, although it is a bit awkward to look at it this way, under Lin Feng's precautionary shot, this is not unacceptable. In this way, the film companies that ultimately hold these copyrights did not gain any benefits, but caused a commotion.
No, no, no, vice presidents of many film companies, look at me, I look at you, you think this matter is calculated, no matter what, they are calculated by Lin Feng. And it's a blatant calculation. "What do you think about it?" I believe the price is very sincere. Lin Feng pointed to the contract in front of him and said.
The vice presidents of many film companies can't see the sincerity of the contract when they look at it. Lin Feng's bargaining chip is actually a full copyright buyout of $40,000 a year, and Fei Linfeng can adapt it into TV, movies or games at will, including related products. Of course, these studios also get a profit share from their nephews.
That's not a low price. After all, these film copyrights of many companies are not sold, and they have been stored in the warehouse, which is useless. On the contrary, selling to Lin Feng can earn a little extra money. It's not much, but it's a subsidy. It's just that this is a bit far from everyone's ideal price.
Chapter 968 Get the Copyright
Zou Zong, vice president of the film company, frowned, Linfeng's price code is too cheap, although in essence, Lin Feng can offer $1co for the copyright buyout fee of $1co for each film involved, as well as!; This is already quite 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 also asked for the copyright of the related P product, which made many companies angry.
Thinking about it this way, the 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. The movies involved in the line 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, and they didn't know 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 were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Lin Feng to be... Will be so happy to refuse. It's so, it's surprising -- it's kind of unbelievable.
Could it be that Lin Feng didn't care about this at all? Everyone couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out. Lin Feng smiled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just reminded you that these movies are all familiar to everyone, and it can be said that from the actors, to the scenes, to the drama exhibition, the audience is quite familiar with them, and they are very familiar with them. Qingrong - I make such a bold assumption, if I invite these original actors again during the filming of the TV series - come back and restore the costumes in their plays, restore the scenes, just change the names, what do you think the audience will think?" Lin Fengchong said, 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, it is the original for the audience. 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, but Lin Feng pays 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 - That said, if there's a formal authorization, I'm sure it'll be a little easier for the audience to pick up, and it's good for your follow-up, isn't it?" said the vice president of Fox Films.
"That's right, that's why I've offered $1co a year and a profit share, which 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 used to be popular, but inevitably. They are outdated, they are already 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 once they are screened, most of them will be scattered with the wind, and will only be occasionally talked about in some future programs similar to film history.
Therefore, Lin Feng's price is not low, but it is thought of 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 open related products, this is a fairly large market with considerable profits, and Lin Feng doesn't want to give up.
"Then you might as well come to an agreement with us. Since this time I will be preparing to shoot the "intercontinental squad" that will appear in Natoki for the main characters 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 right now. Lin Feng said.
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what Lin Feng meant.
"You should know that with the promotion of "Infinite Terror", many readers have rented a disc or downloaded the movie online when watching it, and watched it 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** and I will launch a series of activities at that time. For example, players can guess which movie is "C-VI.", "A certain reward can be drawn, such as the lucky audience can be selected to visit the live shooting of the TV series, or have the honor of playing a dozen extras in the TV series. Lin Feng said with a smile.
When everyone heard it, they thought about it, and it was a good idea. In this way, many of their films can undoubtedly create profits for the company again, and they can have a second spring. Anyway, these movies are in stock. It's also a library-store-holding-being that can be taken out for screening. It's also a little bit of income.
"How are you, are you satisfied now?" Lin Feng asked.
Everyone, look at me-I-look at you, nodding your head. 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 copyrights involved. and announced that the TV version of "Infinite Terror" will start filming in the near future. Moreover, Lin Feng also announced that he would choose as much as possible from the original movie to participate in the filming of the TV version of "Infinite Terror", and announced that the winners of the open call for scripts from various countries "Intercontinental Squad" will receive a prize of so many US dollars and the right to participate in the filming of the TV series.
When I heard the news, I was shocked.
For many media, Lin Feng's ability to win many film copyrights so smoothly makes many media outstanding. 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 only want to be a mere $1oo million. The profit share achievement agrees with this fact - it is too surprising for many Western media.
Of course, what is even more surprising - is that Lin Feng actually announced that he would choose the original cast from the original movie to participate in the filming, which is simply jaw-dropping. You must know that most of these movies are recruited by Hollywood, and their actors and jishu are all Hollywood, Lin Feng actually wants to mobilize Hollywood movies to shoot TV series, which is a big deal! And it is also shot worldwide!
But it is undeniable that Lin Feng's actions have delighted all readers, and they have been looking forward to the much-anticipated "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 drama fed by the "intercontinental squad" of various countries based on the original book of "Infinite Terror" - I should know. In addition to satisfying their respective fanaticism for Infinite Horror, it is also very tempting to get a $50,000 prize if you are lucky enough to be adopted.
Of course, not only that, Lin Feng also announced that he would open "Infinite Horror", but the stand-alone game and online games also set off a frenzy of all "Infinite Horror" fans again, and they 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 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, and no one in the "second shijie" preparatory department thought that just by virtue of "Infinite Horror", the company could 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 Horror". Or rather, R's optimism about "Infinite Horror". For such a game to start, it 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 and start a team, even if the current income is low, it is a rare opportunity for their life experience, which will be of considerable benefit to everyone's future exhibition.
Of course, for the "second shijie", there is a shortage of talents now, after all, it is necessary to open the "infinite horror ・" stand-alone game and the online version of the game at the same time, and the existing third game department. Wu Gang's Tridacnum only has more than XII. This is not enough. Just by passing this opportunity. Massive search for talent.
What should we do if the bastard talents are all taken away by you?—Many domestic game companies said indignantly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they cursed, it couldn't change this fact. It is undoubtedly quite sad that the same or even higher treatment cannot retain outstanding talents. However, this can't be blamed on those jishu talents, the so-called people go to high places, and the 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.
