It is no wonder that today's writers and writers like to cooperate with Tiandi Media, Li Wenhua really spares no effort to promote the books produced by the company, and now He Mu wants to buy the copyright on a large scale, and he proposed the film copyright of the two bestsellers of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Tibetan Code".

He Mu likes the two series of bestsellers mentioned by Li Wenhua very much, and also thinks that it will be very shocking if it can be successfully adapted and filmed into a movie, but the premise is that the level of special effects must be high enough, and now the country has not reached this level, find a foreign company, then the money will go to the sea, in fact, capital is not a problem, even if He Mu only has more than 30 million on hand now, he also has the ability to make a movie with a cost of 100 million, and it is enough to partner with a few more companies, but it is a question whether the cost can be recovered after filming. Now the box office of the domestic film market exceeds 200 million, even if it is a big hit, and the risk of a film with an investment of more than 100 million is too great, so he will not consider a special effects blockbuster that burns money before the market capacity is not so large.

But then again, these two series of books are really tempting, "Quote a price." He Mu glanced at Li Wenhua.

Li Wenhua smiled, ""Notes on Tomb Robbery" is out to the fourth volume, almost half of it has been written, "Tibetan Code" has six volumes, and it is not far from being written, both series are super bestsellers comparable to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", with millions of readers across the country, and now I can call the shots to sell the complete film and television adaptation rights of the two series, including those that were not written later, but the price will definitely not be low. ”

"What a circle, just say it."

"Friendship price. Eight million per series. Li Wenhua squinted his eyes and said.

He Mu's even twitched, "The weather is good today, what do you eat at night?" ”

"It's not expensive. What do you think, the content of the two novels is so rich, which one can't make seven or eight films, on average, a movie is only more than one million, which is really not expensive, and now the two novels have not reached their peak. In another year or two, their influence will only grow, and I will definitely not sell it if it is less than 10 million. Li Wenhua continued to flicker.

"You said I wouldn't buy it if you broke the sky. After I bought it, I couldn't shoot it immediately, it was too expensive, and the two novels were not finished, what if the author was the eunuch of the worst queen. The brand image was ruined all at once. ”

"This one is reassuring. We signed an agreement, it's almost impossible for eunuchs, and you don't understand the copyright transaction of the novel, pay a certain percentage of the adaptation fee first, and then pay the rest after it is really filmed, but if it can't be filmed within the time limit, then I'm sorry, we will continue to sell the adaptation rights. The part of the money collected before will not be returned, "Li Wenhua still does not give up." "If you think about it, it really won't cost a lot of money."

He Mu was moved, it is true, as Li Wenhua said, these two bestsellers will become more and more popular with time, and the adaptation fee will rise to a sky-high price, no one buys it now just because there is no precedent for success in this regard, people are waiting, or they hope to wait for Du Qifeng to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" before making plans, but He Mu is very adventurous, he dares to be the first, Du Qifeng is slow to shoot the theme of tomb robbery, maybe he will be the first, If you buy out the film adaptation rights now, it will definitely be more cost-effective than buying it later, and of course the risk will be greater.

"The term of the copyright is counted as several years." He Mu asked, he had a decision.

"Six years." Li Wenhua replied.

"If you haven't filmed a whole series in six years, you can sell it to other companies later."

Li Wenhua shook his head, "As long as you shoot the first part within six years, we have no right to dispose of the rest of the film, we are tied up with the whole series, you buy the whole series, if your movie has been filmed, and it is not finished, and we sell the copyright to others, it will be regarded as an infringement of your film copyright, and when you finish filming, we will consider reselling the copyright to a third party (Note 1). ”

Six years later, in 2015, if he hasn't had the courage to make a big production for so long, then He Mu can really go to, "Okay, it's decided, I bought the copyright." ”

"Well, one hundred million! You're a real tyrant! ”

"Wait, I'll just buy one." He Mu stopped the elated Li Wenhua.

"Ah, just one copy?" Li Wenhua was slightly disappointed.

He Mu nodded, "I'm not a real tyrant, I don't have confidence in two big-scale series, just one, when will I wait for me to develop and then consider others." ”

"Which one do you want?"

""Notes on Tomb Robbery", I'm very interested in tomb robbing, it's too sensitive to the West's Tibet, I'd better not touch it yet, think about how much control in your publishing industry is really much looser than our film industry, if you shoot "Notes on Tomb Robbery", you have to think about how to pass the radio and television level, there can be no ghosts, and it can't be too bloody." He Mu sighed.

Li Wenhua patted He Mu on the shoulder, "You filmmakers can always come up with a way, there are policies and countermeasures, but radio and television should indeed be changed, I remember that the old films in the past were not so strictly controlled, and there were ghosts and dew points, and later they asked for harmony." ”

That's it, He Mu spent 8 million to buy the film adaptation rights of the "Tomb Robbery Notes" series, including the four that have not yet been written in the plan of the third uncle of the Southern School, He Mu paid 1.5 million first, and then paid the later part after the first part of the movie was released, presumably the third uncle, who regretted not being on the writer's rich list last year, should have no problem this year, and Li Wenhua decided to wait for the fifth part of "Tomb Robbery Notes" to release the news, so that it will definitely stimulate the sales of "Tomb Robbery Notes", Judging from last year's sales statistics, the average sales volume of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is not as high as "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Tibetan Code", but this year the situation may be different.

In just ten minutes, He Mu and Li Wenhua finalized the acquisition of novel adaptation rights with a total value of more than 10 million, but at this stage, he only needs to pay about 2 million, and then pay the rest after the movie is made within the time limit, which is the big head, so the authors of the novel hope that their works can appear on the big screen as soon as possible, which is not only an opportunity to enhance the popularity of themselves and their works, but also means that they can get all the adaptation fees.

"What's going on, how are you choosing, in fact, you don't have to be limited to the celebrity list, in fact, there are some actresses with good plays who are not on the list." After talking about this business with Li Wenhua, He Mu looked at the Tao Qu people who had gathered in a pile.

Tao Quduo spoke first, "It stands to reason that Sun Li's popularity is in full swing now, it is a good choice, the drama is good, and the person is beautiful, but she has just joined the crew of Liu Zhenwei's "Cyborg", and it is impossible to have a schedule for us in the short term, so I passed it." ”

Chen Li continued: "This Chen Hao and Gao Yuanyuan are both beautiful and popular, but I'm afraid that the acting skills won't satisfy you." ”

He Mu commented, "Gao Yuanyuan is indeed incompetent in acting, she is a beautiful vase, Chen Haolu's acting skills are good, how to say that she is also from a professional class, but she is not beautiful in my eyes, so pass." ”

"You're really demanding," Beth muttered, then continued, "So we finally helped you find three more suitable candidates on this list." ”

"Which three?" He Mu took the newspaper, and there were three names marked on it, Zhang Jingchu, Yuan Quan, and Zhang Yuqi.

Zhang Jingchu and Yuan Quan are both well-known actors, although Zhang Jingchu is a professional director, but as soon as she debuted, she was the female number one in "Peacock", and later cooperated with famous directors such as Tsui Hark and Er Dongsheng, and then entered Hollywood, and cooperated with Cheng Long in "Rush Hour 3", many media have said that she is very likely to take over Zhang Ziyi's class, and she is a very potential actor.

Yuan Quan got back together with Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan afterwards, but he was also a lot more low-key, with not many actions, and recently he was acting more in dramas, and rarely appeared in front of the media. She is Zhang Ziyi and Qin Hailu's classmates, at the beginning, several of their girls were known as the "Five Golden Flowers", and now they are all famous, although Yuan Quan's achievements are not as high as Zhang Ziyi, nor are she like Qin Hailu who has won the Golden Horse Queen, but she is very popular with the mainland audience, and her fresh temperament is especially loved by college students, and her acting skills are not to be said.

As for the last person to choose Zhang Yuqi, she became famous for Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7", and later starred with Zhou Xun, Gui Lunmei, etc. Xu Laowei's "Women Are Not Bad", with a rapid upward momentum and continuous advertising invitations, as if there was a Huang Shengyi, the difference is that she didn't wait for her own Yang Zi, and now she is still a star master. Zhang Yuqi does not have many works, what is discussed the most is her rich and contented figure and strong aura, her acting skills are not lost, and several works she has acted in are also passable, this aspect is not as good as Zhang Jingchu and Yuan Quan, but there are probably not a few people who like to go to the cinema to see her, who makes her popular.

The three candidates He Mu are more satisfied, he doesn't think that the role of Xiaomei is indispensable, there is such a role in the film industry, no one can play it, but Xiaomei is not, as long as she is beautiful and has good acting skills, you can give it a try, "Xiao Nan, you send an invitation letter to all three of them, attach the synopsis of the script and my sincerity, see what they ask for, we can pick the one that makes us the most satisfied." ”

Next, He Mu assigned a task, and the entire company had to put down "Night. The glory brought by "Shop" began to run for "Glass Heart", looking for a venue, this is a love film, to make the movie look beautiful; Pull sponsorship, this time you have to be restrained, there are not many places that can be implanted, don't make the audience disgusted; There is also the start of publicity, He Mu wants to know as soon as possible inside and outside the circle that he is going to make a move again!

"Now 'Glass Heart' is a top priority, whether we are short-lived or sustainable depends on it!" He Mu made the most reluctant statement, and then looked at Xiao Nan, "Book me a plane ticket and go to the magic capital today." ”
