Chapter 130: Game Adaptation Rights
"Zha Lao, I originally wanted to make an appointment for your time in a few days, and made a special trip to the house to visit, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet you here today, it's really better to meet by chance, an unexpected joy! Today is the first day of the new year, I wish you a happy new year! Good health in the new year!" Lin Feng lowered his posture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not to mention that he is a fan of Jin Yong's books.
Old man Zha is almost 80 years old this year, older than his deceased grandfather, and respecting the old and loving the young is also a Chinese tradition.
Jin Yong smiled and nodded: "Thank you...... Oh, Lin Sheng wants to see me, is there something wrong?".
He thought that Lin Feng was just a fan of his books, so he came over to say hello.
In this life, Jin Yong's works are popular among Chinese all over the world, and he can almost meet his book fans every day to sign autographs and take group photos, etc., which has long been accustomed to it.
Listening to Lin Feng's tone now, it seems that he was going to make a special trip to visit, so it seems that he has something to ask for.
Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, he couldn't meet for the first time, and he made a request directly before he contacted his feelings.......
But the person on the other side who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, is old and refined, and it is useless to go around in circles.
Lin Feng nodded: "Your eyes are like torches, and the juniors take the liberty to disturb, you do have something to ask for...... I have an online game company in China, which is currently developing well, and it is also industry-leading in terms of technical research and development strength and operation. …… I hope to have the opportunity to obtain your authorization to purchase the adaptation rights of your work in the field of online games. As you know, games are also an integral part of the cultural and entertainment industry, and although they are not as good as movies and TV series adaptations in terms of the number of users and social influence, there are countless users who are loyal fans of your works, and they are also eager to see the scenery and pictures in those books in the game one day, and to become characters in person, and set foot in the rivers and lakes of their dreams. ”
Jin Yong listened to him with a smile and nodded slightly.
It didn't come as a surprise to him.
Over the years, whether it is movies, TV series, comics, games...... , too many people asked him to buy copyrights, and some of the results of the adaptation were satisfactory to him, and some he didn't like.
In any case, as a literati and a successful businessman, copyright is now his biggest source of income.
Someone buys copyright, of course Jin Yong is happy.
It's just that the strength of the other party, whether it has the ability to adapt the work, and whether it has feelings and intentions, is also the criterion for Jin Yong to consider whether he will authorize.
Lin Feng is now in the limelight, and the world knows that he is a new young billionaire, and his strength is naturally no problem.
In two years from scratch, a university graduate founded a legend of a NASDAQ-listed company, not to mention the traditional and conservative mainland business community, even in Hong Kong, which has never lacked the legendary stories of "self-made" and "getting ahead", Lin Feng's deeds are also amazing and admirable.
Jin Yong thought about it, didn't answer about copyright first, and asked with a smile: "Lin Sheng has also read my novel?"
Lin Feng nodded of course: "Zha Lao, I grew up watching your books, I remember the first one I read was when I was in the third grade of primary school, I rented "The Condor Heroes" at the bookstall at the door of my house, and the butterfly love flower at the beginning made me very impressed, and it is still unforgettable!"
"The Yue Nu picks lotus on the shore of the autumn water, with narrow sleeves and light Luo, revealing double gold chuan. The shadow picks the flowers like a face, and the heart is only a common filament. The wind and waves at the head of the chicken ruler creek are late, the fog is heavy and the smoke is light, and there is no time to come. The faint singing voice returns far away, and the sorrow leads to the south bank of the river. ”
He recited this passage casually, which made Jin Yong a little impressed.
Not to mention anything else, at least Lin Feng has done a lot of homework, and it seems that he is also a caring person.
Indeed, Lin Feng really didn't remember this sentence clearly for so many years, and he had indeed read it before he came.
Jin Yong was a little interested, and personally poured Lin Feng a cup of tea: "This is the Darjeeling black tea I must order every time I come here, try how it tastes." ”
Lin Feng bowed slightly to thank him, raised the teacup, took a sip, nodded and smiled: "Very good, delicate and soft, worthy of being known as the champagne in black tea." ”
Jin Yong asked again: "Lin Sheng, which of my works do you like the most, or which character?"
He was not complacent, but wanted to use Lin Feng's answer to figure out Lin Feng's character. After all, when most people read books, they like to substitute for the characters, and the characters they like generally have some shadows of their own.
Lin Feng thought about it, a little unsure...... , he said a little embarrassedly: "I like your works very much, except that Liancheng Jue is a little too abusive...... Uh, sorry. The rise of what he said brought out all the words that were often said in later generations.
Jin Yong smiled and motioned for him to continue.
Lin Feng continued: "If you choose the best of the best, the favorite should be the Condor Heroes and the Smiling Proud Jianghu." When I was a child, when I watched the Condor Heroes, whenever I saw Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu after going through hardships, when a group of people in Chongyang Palace worshiped in front of Wang Chongyang's portrait to get married, they would have tears in their eyes. I still remember Yang Guo said loudly: "If you betray, you will betray to the end." Patriarch Wang and Patriarch's mother-in-law are heroes and heroes, a hundred times better than you and me, but they dare not get married. If the two patriarchs have knowledge, they may not say that ours is not!" he said these words with a radiant spirit, and he really had the generality of looking up to a hundred generations and having never seen anyone before. ”
When Lin Feng said this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zha Lao, when I was a teenager, this scene had a great impact on my outlook on love and life!"
When Jin Yong heard this, he glanced at Ye Weiyu, who was sitting in the distance, and showed a smile like a naughty child: "Really?"
He was also a little happy that Lin Feng was able to recite the passages in the book, and it seemed that he was really a die-hard book fan.
Lin Feng smiled and continued: "I loved Yang Guo when I was a teenager, and then I watched Xiaoao Jianghu, and I realized that what I really liked was Linghu Chong...... , I'm not afraid of your jokes, what impressed me the most was the laughter made by Mr. Huang Zhan in the later adapted movie. Smiling proud of the rivers and lakes, smiling proudly, how difficult it is. ”
Jin Yong nodded, it was a little strange, seeing that Lin Feng was young and ambitious, handsome and chic. It should be smooth sailing, a noble son-like character like "Yang Kang".
As the elder brother of the Huashan faction, he became a "scum" who competed with famous and decent families overnight, and became a ...... of the demon sect that he had always hated.
It can be said that the tribulation has reached the extreme, but fortunately, Hu Chong has an open-minded and uninhibited personality, and after the vicissitudes of life, he has become more and more mature.
However, to be able to achieve such a career, presumably Lin Feng is not as easy and simple as it seems on the surface.
Jin Yong's heart flashed, and he said with a smile: "I think that Lin Sheng is more like Zhang Wuji in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, who was unknown before, and became famous all over the world as soon as he came out of the mountain. ”
Lin Feng knew that he was referring to Menglong's listing, and said modestly: "Old Cha, you have a good reputation!"
complained in his heart, who is like Zhang Wuji!
Indecisive, not to mention, was actually tricked by Lao Zhu, and gave up the good country that Mingjiao had at his fingertips, and he was also drunk.
After Jin Yong chatted with Lin Feng, he had a certain understanding of Lin Feng, and felt that this young man was quite sincere and true.
It's okay to buy the game rights to him.
He turned back to the topic: "So, Lin Sheng, I don't know which work you want to buy the copyright of?"
Lin Feng asked rhetorically: "Can you buy them all?"
"......" The old man was a little stunned.
Jin Yong asked strangely: "Shouldn't all my works be suitable for adaptation into games, right?" A few years ago, Taiwan's Zhiguan Company bought all the game copyrights, but later it seems that the development was not very good, and many of them have not been adapted. ”
Lin Feng thought about it, and he couldn't chew it too much, so he smiled and said, "What you said is that I'm too greedy,...... Well, I'm going to exclusively buy the online game adaptation rights of the four works of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon Babu", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". What do you think?"
Jin Yong didn't expect Lin Feng to revise the plan, and there were still as many as four.
"May I ask, after buying the copyright, which novel is Lin Sheng going to develop first?"
Lin Feng did not hesitate: "Of course, it is "Tianlong Babu", in this work, the map is large: Song, Liao, Dali, Tubo, Xixia and other countries, and there are many sects: Xiaoyao School, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Xingsu, Tianshan, Beggar Gang, Gusu Murong Family, etc., and the exercises are also diverse, which is very suitable for adaptation into online games. ”
Jin Yong nodded in agreement.
He doesn't know much about online games, but Lin Feng does.
Since Lin Feng is so confident, it's okay to let him try, anyway, the copyright is sold to him, if it doesn't work, it's better to take it back when it expires.
"Okay, Lin Sheng, I preliminarily agree. This is the contact information of Xu Xiaodong ((Stephen), the general manager of Minghe Publishing House, the specific licensing agreement and price, you can talk to him, and the licensing of all my works in the three places has been handed over to Minghe to be responsible. Jin Yong took out a business card and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to negotiate, my hope is to be able to have the exclusive license of these four works in the field of online games for ten years, as for the price...... Of course, if you think the price is low, you can also increase it a little more. ”
Jin Yong asked slightly, to be honest, he really had no concept of game copyright.
But, 20 million? Is there so many?......
When he sold all the copyrights of his works to Zhiguan, it was less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although on the surface, Lin Feng still needs to talk to Minghe.
But in fact, Minghe was originally his own company, and Jin Yong had already agreed to this offer in his heart!
He smiled and nodded, "I don't know much about this, Lin Sheng, you can send someone to talk to Stephen." ”
Lin Feng also smiled, raised the teacup, and drank the tea leisurely.
The old man was obviously moved.
