120 Negotiation conditions (third change)
700,000 episodes, 30 episodes is 21 million, this price may have broken the exclusive purchase price of domestic cartoons.
Not only Liu Nianzhou was surprised, but the red eggplant on the side was even more shocked, several of his works have been made into animations, and he knows very well how pitted the purchase price of cartoons on video websites is.
As the top god of online literature, his work is a high-value IP, which is popular among games, especially mobile game companies. But in the animation adaptation, he has been repeatedly disappointed.
Therefore, when he saw the animation of "Diwu", he was moved, it was also an online adaptation, and the quality of this "Diwu" animation was no worse than those big productions of Neon.
What's more, he saw that the animation "Diwu" also had a huge effect on the promotion of the novel.
Liu Nianzhou used to be just an ordinary boutique author. However, since the broadcast of the animation "Emperor Wu", the novel's performance has been rising, and in just one month, the subscription has exceeded 30,000, and the subscriptions have quadrupled. When the animation reached the last few episodes, the thousand-degree search index even hit the top three.
That month, Liu Nianzhou's manuscript fee exceeded seven figures. It can be said that he relied on the animation of "Emperor Wu" to become a god in one fell swoop.
In the industry, countless people lamented that Liu Nianzhou had shit luck, and he became popular inexplicably.
A successful anime adaptation has such a great impact on the original.
He came over today with the purpose of adapting the animation. As long as the level can reach the animation of "Emperor Wu", even if he wants to sacrifice some interests, he will not hesitate to do it.
…………
The employee smirked when he saw the two of them in surprise. "It's nothing. Highest bidder. It's A71, one million and three million episodes. ”
Liu Nianzhou's mouth was open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He knows the details of the studio, and he knows exactly how much it costs to make an animation. Although he didn't participate much in the production of the second season, it can be roughly calculated.
Two months is considered the salary of the production team, five insurances and one housing fund. rent, utilities. The post-production of the animation, no matter how you count, will not exceed a million.
The price of one million episodes is one million, and thirty episodes are thirty-nine million. Net profit of 38 million.
It was only at this time that he really understood the great value of the "animation production system" in the computer room.
Red Tomato didn't know what was going on, he was thinking about something else.
The biggest worry on the Internet before was that the investors of "Diwu" would not invest in the second season because of huge losses. But now he felt. This concern is completely unnecessary. With a purchase price of nearly 40 million, the cost should basically be recovered. And then through other channels. Estimating profits is not a problem.
This means that the studio has been able to survive. Then I have a little more confidence in finding them to adapt.
The two of them had their own thoughts. I heard the employee say regretfully, "It's a pity that Director Zhong refuses to sell the exclusive broadcast rights." In the end, at the price of 120,000 yuan per episode, it was sold to five websites for the premiere rights. ”
Liu Nianzhou was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that last time, Zhong Yue would rather lose money than only play on a video website. Looking back now, there is no doubt that he made the right decision.
However, now the profit is less than 20 million. Zhong Yue actually gave up like this, how big is his ambition?
With this doubt, Liu Nianzhou took the red eggplant to see Zhong Yue.
………………
"I already know what you're here for."
After Zhong Yue sat them down, he said to Red Eggplant, "But, I think you also know how much investment it takes to make an animation of the caliber of 'Imperial Warriors'. ”
Red Eggplant knew that it would not be so easy to convince him, and said, "I heard Nian Zhou say that Mr. Zhong also has a mobile game company, and if Mr. Zhong is willing to adapt my novel, I can sell you the copyright of the mobile game." ”
Zhong Yue nodded secretly, he is indeed very sincere, a god of his level, the game adaptation rights have never been sold, especially the mobile game adaptation. It's all good stuff that game dealers rush to buy.
He pretended to think for a while and said, "In addition to the adaptation rights of mobile games, I also want terminal games, web game copyrights, movie copyrights, TV copyrights, and so on." If you agree, I can help you adapt the anime. ”
Red Eggplant was stunned, he didn't expect him to have such a big appetite. Although, apart from the game adaptation, whether it is the copyright of film or television, it is of little value. However, with the development of computer special effects technology, perhaps these copyrights will become very important. He didn't want to sell it easily.
"I'm going to think about it."
"No problem."
Zhong Yue was not in a hurry, and said, "It's rare to come and play in Yangcheng for a few more days." ”
"Okay, I'll give you the answer in a few days." Red Tomato said and took his leave.
Zhong Yue personally sent him out, and when he came back, he began to think about the movie.
So far, the two companies and one studio he has opened are not untargeted. From a mobile game company to an easy-to-manage APP, it is content and channels, which can be said to be a vertical development. When it comes to animation studios, it's a mold development.
His strategy, to put it bluntly, is a concept that was very popular some time ago, pan-entertainment.
The first season of "Emperor Wu" is to gain popularity, and the second season is to expand this popularity as much as possible. Once you get to a certain point, you can think about cinematization.
How hot the domestic film market is now, as long as anyone who watches the news knows. At such a time, if he doesn't go to the film market to make money, he will be sorry for himself.
Think about the Xiyang who makes a lot of money in the Spring Festival stalls every year, and think about the big movies of those variety shows. He feels that his "Emperor Wu" is cinematic, and he is still conscientious.
His goal is to open up the entire animation market, and one animation is certainly not enough. This time, his target was on the top gods of the online text.
Today is different from the past, when he chose Liu Nianzhou's works to adapt, he was somewhat helpless. Now that the popularity of the studio has been hit, it is natural to choose the works of the gods with higher IP value. Whether it is the size of the readership or the popularity, the works of the great god have incomparable advantages.
In fact, the conditions he put forward were not too harsh, and he would naturally buy these copyrights at market prices. will not let them suffer, and those copyrights that are not of high value at the moment are chicken ribs in the hands of others, but they are different in his hands.
Just like movie copyrights, let's not talk about live-action movies for the time being, animated movies will definitely come out soon. This is basically not difficult to make.
However, he didn't have to find these great gods, he really couldn't talk about it, so he went to find those authors with slightly worse grades. He can come up with one "Emperor Wu" and can also come up with a second part.
So, he wasn't in a hurry at all. (To be continued......)
PS: Okay, three more ask for a monthly pass.
