The event created by so many organizations was of course unusual, and when Lin Han arrived at the scene, he found that many acquaintances were here!

In addition to the Renmin University Publishing House, which he is most familiar with, there are many well-known domestic copyright owners such as Literature and Art Publishing House, Ping An Publishing Group, Origin Chinese Network, China Film News, and even the dean of the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, the president of China Film Newspaper, the vice chairman of the National Writers Association, the vice chairman of the Screenwriters Association, and the big man of the Federation of Literary and Artistic Associations.

After Zhao Han saw his cash cow coming over, he immediately walked up to Lin Han, he stretched out his hand and shook it before saying, "I didn't expect you to participate in this event, how was the movie shooting?"

"It's going well, it's a bit of a bump, but it's expected. ”

Lin Han didn't understand why the publishing house would come to this kind of auction conference, could it be that they had the copyright in their hands?

At this time, the rest of the people recognized Lin Han, and Han Yongchun, the president of the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House, walked up to Lin Han, and he said with emotion: "I always knew that Xiaolin was a rising star, but I didn't expect that being so young would make us old guys embarrassed!"

"yes, I've heard that a lot of Hollywood studios are coming here for your rights. "Bi Junfeng of Phoenix Media Group looks a little young, but he is also in his forties.

"Xiaolin, the door of our Chongshu Office is always open to you, in case you feel that you want to change places one day, you can find us. Isn't it a problem to have a royalty of 30% or even higher, Mr. Zhao, right?"

Zhao Han knew that Lin Han would be targeted by other publishing houses or publishing groups when he came over, so he stood beside Lin Han and introduced him seriously: "The person who was joking with you just now is Mr. Song from Chongshu Publishing Company, and Mr. Bi next to him is the person in charge of Phoenix Culture Media Group, and Mr. An Ning, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association. ”

"You exalt me too much, I'm just an ordinary novel-writer, a little hobby to make movies, I don't deserve such high praise!"

Lin Han came here specifically to be able to sell his novels at a higher price, if he appeared, those film production companies should sell a few thin noodles, who made his company short of money now.

The person in charge of the Elephant Publishing House didn't think that they would be able to dig the foot of the wall on the spot, but now that Lin Han has planted a seed, they don't know when it will bloom and bear fruit.

In the following time, Lin Han has been greeting people, Rao has a good memory and can't help but get dizzy, which is why he rarely appears in public.

Fortunately, the organizer of the conference saved him at this time, and under the reminder of the host, Lin Han found his place and joined Miao Hong.

Just now, Miao Hong gave full play to his connections in the Hollywood area, and went to explore the wind in the film and television companies there, and found that not only Hollywood, but even many domestic film companies are looking forward to Lin Han's novels!

"Which company do you think will pay a high price today?" Lin Han's goal is to use these two copyrights to raise some funds, and it is impossible not to slaughter them fiercely.

Now many novels that I have never heard of can sell for tens of millions, and my two novels should not be much different!

Miao Hong shook his head, these are all trade secrets, and others can't reveal them, but he can detect clues from some people's demeanor, "I don't know anything else, but my old club Sony Pictures wants to make some progress next year, so a friend revealed that they will do their best to win the adaptation rights of at least one novel, but I don't know which one they will target." ”

"Do your best. "This is a public place, it is not appropriate to say some private topics, originally Lin Han also wanted to ask Miao Hong if he had asked for a childcare to help raise the price.

At this time, the leaders from the Yanjing Municipal Government began to speak on the stage, and Lin Han was bored and simply looked at the catalogue and introduction of the auction works provided by the auction organizer, and found a lot of interesting works!

These works are all from the more than 600 works that participated in the selection, and were finally shortlisted after strict primary selection and final evaluation, representing the highest level of film and television literature in China.

Among these books, there are "Jiangnan Trilogy", which won the Mao Dun Literature Award, the novel "The Book of the King" series written by Wentong writer Cao Wenxuan, who won the International Hans Christian Andersen Award not long ago, and "From Noon to Dusk" by writer Hu Xiwen!

Other online novels have also joined the ranks of adaptations, such as "Martial God Space", "Back to the Qing Dynasty as a Prince", "Tang Dynasty Small Landlord", "The Vast Starry Sky", "My Beautiful President Girlfriend", "Two Little No Guesses" and other works are impressively listed.

What surprised Lin Han the most was that the name of a TV series "Bao Qingtian" was also added to the auction, and the copyright owner auctioned these three words!

Although TV series related to Bao Zheng emerge in an endless stream every year, there are almost no TV series that can be directly called Bao Qingtian without adding a prefix and suffix, because these three words are the copyrights registered by others!

"It's kind of fun. Lin Han didn't expect that the copyright could still be played like this, if he didn't appear, I'm afraid Bao Qingtian would be in charge of the finale, after all, the TV and movie adapted by Lord Bao Zheng has a very high audience and a very good mass base.

After one leader after another, the auctioneer in a suit officially came to the stage and started today's auction!

In order to have a good start, the organizer deliberately put the popular romance novel "The Most Beautiful Years" in the first place, this kind of romance novel is the favorite of almost all TV drama producers, and it is suitable for finding little fresh meat to star, and the ratings don't have to worry.

So the price jumped all the way from 3 million to 5 million, and even rushed all the way to 8 million, and was finally bought by a domestic film and television company!

In the era of big data, the influence of the work is the key to measurement, so this price is unexpected and reasonable.

In the next time, Lin Han saw what the IP frenzy was in the real sense, the copyright of the most ordinary novel was sold for 3.5 million yuan, and none of them were unsold, and even the right to use the three words "Bao Qingtian" was sold for 12 million yuan!

Crazy, crazy!

It seems that these film and television producers are all big tyrants, and these IPs are all cabbages on the side of the road, buy them casually!

"The next auction is the only science fiction romance novel of science fiction master Lin Han, "The Time Traveler's Wife", this novel has infected countless people around the world, love and waiting are even more popular with readers as the Bible, and its global book sales have exceeded 8 million copies, the cumulative number of Internet searches has reached 4 billion, and the starting price is 3 million US dollars!"

Yes, when the rest of the novel transactions were settled in RMB, Lin Han's Galaxy Pictures directly began to use US dollars as a unit, which was convenient for Hollywood.

The starting price of $3 million directly exceeds the previous highest-priced IP, which is converted into almost 20 million yuan!

Many people at the scene squinted their eyes, will anyone really buy it?

Their doubts didn't last for a few seconds, and the companies holding up their cards were dizzying, and they had waited so long in front of them for these last two novels, otherwise they wouldn't have come to this place at all.

Sony Pictures was the first to offer a price of $3.1 million, and Legendary Pictures was not inferior at all, and did not take this too seriously!

"3.5 million!"

"3.6 million!"

"3.8 million!"

"4 million!"

The soaring prices made the group of bigwigs in the publishing house very envious, and also made many of the writers present particularly jealous, which is the earning power of top writers.

Obviously, in Lin Han's work library, these two are not particularly good IPs, but these film production companies are particularly agreeable!

If "The Time Traveler's Wife" is made into a movie, many people estimate its box office to be about $300 million worldwide, and if it can explode, it can probably reach $500 million.

After all, the theme of romance movies + science fiction is easy to gain a good reputation, but it is unknown whether it can be converted into a box office, but the price of several million dollars is also a challenge for these companies!

After all, they still have to consider the problem of actors, there don't seem to be many actresses who can carry the box office of romance films, and the salaries of these actors are all top in Hollywood, so the cost is much higher.

This is China, and there are more than one or two rich companies, and Alibaba Pictures has begun to make efforts, and it has offered a super high price of $7.5 million, which has made Sony Pictures hesitate.

Sony Pictures' goal has always been "The Wandering Earth", because this work is atmospheric enough, and it is difficult for a film with too small a pattern to gain a high box office, and they feel that if this film is made well and promoted in place, it can hit the global $1 billion mark!

Unfortunately, the budget is limited, and they are not willing to spend too much money on "The Time Traveler's Wife", lest someone else grab the novel they really want.

So when Ali Pictures officially filmed this sci-fi romance novel, Lin Han was also relieved, and the $7.5 million was really beyond expectations!

The next "The Wandering Earth" really gave people a glimpse of what appeal is, with a starting price of $3 million, and three minutes later it surpassed just $7.5 million, but no one stopped at all.

This is no longer something that domestic film companies can get involved in, and even Huayi Brothers, Wanda Film and Television, and Ali Pictures can only watch the Hollywood giants compete against each other!

Sony Pictures looks like it is determined to win, Paramount Pictures and Lin Han have just tasted the sweetness and want to continue their relationship, Legendary Pictures is rich and capricious, Fox is rich and capricious, Fox is rich and not worried, this kind of science fiction suitable for adaptation into a movie is very rare, and even many people have begun to fantasize about what this novel will look like when it is made into a movie.

The price increased little by little, and in the end, Legendary Pictures, an upstart in the film industry, was in the bag, which was actually with Wanda, and the price of $11 million has become today's king!

The film adaptations of Lin Han's two novels sold for $18.5 million, which is the biggest winner today!
