Since Zhang Heng understands the importance of IP, of course he wants to snap up the hottest IP in Xiangjiang at present, but if he wants to shoot these IPs, of course, he must first buy their adaptation authorization, otherwise he will be accused of infringement.

Zhang Heng still remembers that in 2016, the classic suspense tomb robbery novel ghost blowing lamp author "Tianxia Ba Sing" v. the film "Nine-Story Demon Tower" producer and director infringement case, in BJ City XC District People's Court trial, in addition to the copyright dispute of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Zhang Heng remembered that the "Miyue Biography" screened at the end of 2015 also caused controversy about intellectual property rights, "Miyue Biography" was posted after a 7,000-word draft was favored by director Zheng Xiaolong's company It can only be a matter of opinion.

In addition, there are many popular dramas that have been involved in copyright disputes, such as "No War in Peking", "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", "Ordinary World", "To Youth" and so on.

Of course, Zhang Heng would not make these mistakes, so he asked Liang Shuyi to discuss this matter.

"Miss Liang, you also know that I have taken over ATV, but I found that the scripts given by ATV's screenwriting department are very ordinary, and I found that there are many best-selling martial arts novels in Xiangjiang, and I want to get the adaptation rights of these novels, I don't know what you think?"

Liang Shuyi thought for a while and said, "This is very good, martial arts novels have a lot of fans of the original work, and it is easy for us to attract the attention of the audience after we adapt them into a script and shoot them, especially Mr. Xiangjiang Jin Yong's martial arts novels are very popular, we can buy the copyright with him"

Zhang Heng nodded when he heard Liang Shuyi's words and said, "Mr. Jin Yong's novels are indeed very popular, but Jin Yong's martial arts novels have been remade a little frequently in the past two years, which will make the public have visual fatigue, so I think Mr. Jin Yong's novels can wait first, and there are many novels in Xiangjiang that we can shoot other first."

Liang Shuyi thought for a while and said, "Other novels have also been adapted into TV series and movies, but I think it is still Mr. Jin Yong's most suitable to be made into a TV series, although there have been a lot of remakes in the past two years, but I believe that the ratings are still guaranteed, and ATV should be a little more stable at the beginning." ”

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "I don't think so, I think the feasibility of adapting the novels of Liang Yusheng and Gu Long, who are also the three great masters of martial arts novels with Mr. Jin Yong, is no worse than Mr. Jin Yong's novels." ”

Liang Yusheng? …… Cologne? Liang Shuyi thought about it, and indeed they also have many novels adapted into film and television dramas, although these adapted film and television dramas are worse than Jin Yong's in Xiangjiang, but I believe they are still very reliable, so she asked, "Then Mr. Zhang, which one do we adapt?" ”

Zhang Heng said confidently, "Let's buy the copyright first, Jin Yong's "Deer and Ding Ji", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Condor Heroes",

Gu Long's "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "The Peerless Double Pride", Liang Yusheng's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" and "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" The copyrights must be purchased.

"Do you have to buy the rights to these novels?" Liang Shuyi asked

"Yes, you have to buy it, and it's best to buy all the exclusive adaptation rights of these novels for 30 years, including film and television adaptations, game adaptations, comic adaptations and other copyrights, it doesn't matter if the price is higher, if you can't get the exclusive adaptation authorization, you also have to get the authorization for the permanent adaptation of ATV novels

"What does this exclusive license mean?" Liang Shuyi's brain couldn't turn for a while.

"It means that in 30 years, except for our ATV, no one in other TV stations and film companies in Xiangjiang can adapt these novels and then shoot them into movies and TV series, which means that if he shoots, no one else is allowed to shoot them," Zhang Heng said, "As long as they agree, it doesn't matter if the price is higher." ”

"This ...... It is estimated that they will not do this kind of killing chickens and eggs, but it is possible to take this permanent adaptation authorization. Liang Shuyi said with a frown

Zhang Heng thought about it later, the idea of an exclusive buyout is indeed a bit fantastical, Jin Yong and the three of them are not stupid, of course they hope that the TV station will shoot their novels well, and then the price of film and television licensing will rise, rather than a one-time sale.

"You try to talk about it! However, the permanent adaptation authorization of the novel must be obtained," Zhang Heng said

"Oh well! I believe that if the price is high, they should agree to the permanent adaptation and licensing, and as for the exclusive buyout, I can only try to say. Liang Shuyi said

………………

………………

A week later, Liang Shuyi came to Zhang Heng's office again, after a week of hard work, Liang Shuyi has reached an agreement with Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, Gu Long, the three grandmasters of martial arts novels, Times Media Group spent a total of 30 million Hong Kong dollars on the purchase this time, and obtained the permanent adaptation authorization of 12 novels of Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and Gu Long's martial arts triumvirate, in addition to Wen Ruian's "Four Famous Catches", "Cloth Clothes", Wang Dulu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Shi Yukun's "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" Several classic novels are adapted and authorized.

At the same time, Chow Yun-fat's contracts have been processed, so they have jumped to ATV, and at the same time, many second- and third-tier artists and behind-the-scenes talents of wireless have jumped with them.

When this news was known to the outside world, it caused an uproar in the film and television industry, and major newspapers in Xiangjiang reprinted the news one after another.

The popular wireless student was dug up, and ATV will have a big move - Ming Pao

At the same time, reporters were looking for Zheng Shaoqiu, Chow Yun-fat, they wanted to interview them, when Zheng Shaoqiu, Chow Yun-fat, they faced reporters and said, "They (ATV) are very sincere, and we have given enough liquidated damages, we don't owe anything to wireless."

In the past few days, the news of their group's job change to ATV has been published every day, and it has not slowly subsided until a week later, but just a few days later, there was news that Times Media spent sky-high prices to buy the adaptation rights of martial arts novels, so Times Media once again occupied the newspapers in Xiangjiang.

It is rumored that Times Media spent a sky-high price to buy a novel adaptation script for ATV to produce a TV series, so let's look forward to ATV making the best TV series - Oriental Daily

Recently, because Times Media Group spent a sky-high price to buy novel adaptation rights, the value of the three giants of martial arts novels led by Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and Gu Long has risen sharply, and the price of their novel adaptation rights has more than tripled, and at the same time, the value of most martial arts novel writers in the industry has risen to a certain extent - Ming Pao

Due to the sky-high adaptation rights of Times Media, Xiangjiang once again caused a martial arts craze, which also caused the number of authors of Xiangjiang martial arts novels to surge by three percent compared with last year-Sing Tao Daily

Zhang Heng didn't care about the disturbances from the outside world, but concentrated on preparing ATV's next ATV shooting plan.
