Chapter 203 Copyright is not sold, but it can be cooperated!
"What's the matter, don't you believe me?" Ren Gangyi asked with a smile, "Brother, if you agree, we can sign an agreement now, and we can transfer money to you at the bank tomorrow, it's just a phone call." ”
"Believe, of course I believe Brother Ren." Xiao Fei nodded.
Ren Gangyi looked hesitant and glanced at Xiao Fei: "Then you don't feel at ease to hand over your work to me to operate?" Afraid I'm going to spoil them? ”
The huge copyright fee of 2 million failed to impress Xiao Fei.
This made Ren Gangyi feel a little incredible.
He is willing to pay such a large amount of copyright fees, naturally not because of the extra money, but because he is really optimistic about the prospects of the two books, with such a large sales volume and such a wide influence, if it is made into a movie or TV series, it is meaningless to make a lot of money.
Ren Gangyi was born in a family of merchants, and his sensitivity to the market is still quite high.
In this era, the film and television industry is developing so rapidly, and the revenue of a popular film and television drama has opened up channels in all aspects. Like these two books by Xiao Fei, the potential for tapping is considerable.
Buying a lifetime copyright for 2 million is a bit expensive, but it's still worth it.
Xiao Feixin said, I really have concerns about this, but I said: "Brother Ren, that's the case, I also have my own considerations for the film and television copyrights of my two works." ”
"Oh? I don't know what my brother thinks? Can you tell me about it? Ren Gangyi asked with a smile.
Xiao Fei did not hide it: "I originally planned to develop the film and television rights of my works by myself. ”
"Oh!" Ren Gangyi was taken aback.
"Of course, this is all for the future, and it definitely won't work now." Xiao Fei spread his hands. "I'm still a student. I don't have the energy to do that. Now that I see you, I change my mind again. Or can we work together? ”
Xiao Fei doesn't know the details of Ren Gangyi, but he still has a set of ways to know people.
Ren Gangyi's eyes are clear, his expression is natural, and his behavior exudes an elegant atmosphere, such a person should be trustworthy.
Moreover, Xiao Fei also has a little impression of the Ren family in Zhejiang Province.
Although the company controlled by their family is not the kind of well-known enterprise that is popular and well-known throughout the country, its strength is still quite good.
"Cooperation?" Ren Gangyi asked rhetorically.
"Yes, cooperation!" Xiao Fei nodded.
Ren Gangyi frowned and said, "Brother." It's not that I don't want to work with you, it's just that you know what? All investments are risky, as far as the current situation is concerned, as far as I know, more than 90% of movies and TV series are loss-making, although your book has a great impact, but it may not necessarily be popular when made into a film and television drama, my suggestion is that you might as well sell me the copyright. This way, your earnings will be more secure. ”
Of course, Xiao Fei knows that Ren Gangyi's words are true, don't look at the current film and television entertainment industry, but the water is still very deep. There are even fewer people who can make money from it.
It is rare for Ren Gangyi to be so honest with himself.
"Because it's risky, so. I just hope to share it with Brother Ren, you see if this will work. I publish the rights and screenplays, and at the same time invest 20% of the money. It's up to you to do it yourself, let's work together, share the benefits evenly, and share the risks, how about it? Xiao Fei said with a smile.
Ren Gangyi didn't speak, staring at Xiao Fei for a few seconds.
Xiao Fei also looked at him calmly.
Then, Ren Gangyi sighed and said: "Okay, I promise you, it's just that the cost of a film and television drama is at least tens of millions, and it is not easy for you to earn so much manuscript fee, you don't have to worry about the capital investment, I will raise funds, you only need to invest in the copyright of the work and be responsible for the screenwriter, and the income is still fifty-fifty." Actually, what I'm thinking about now is that if the first film and television drama can be filmed without losing money, it will be a success! What I'm afraid of is that when the time comes, brother, you will work in vain, and you will have no gain, and you will complain about my brother! ”
Hearing Ren Gangyi say this, Xiao Fei thought to himself, a kind person!
The copyright and the screenwriter are not worth half of the shares in any case.
Moreover, Ren Gangyi was too worried about Xiao Fei.
"How can that be? Wouldn't I have taken too much advantage? Xiao Fei said with a smile, "I can still afford 20% of the capital investment, and, Brother Ren, your self-confidence must be strong, you have to believe that my work will be as popular as my book when it is made into a TV series, as long as it can be filmed, it will be successful!" ”
Ren Gangyi laughed "haha" and said: "I have always believed in a saying: before victory, think about defeat, only by being fully prepared can we strive for the greatest possibility of success!" Of course, I have enough trust in my brother's work, but I just don't have much confidence in myself! After all, I hadn't done this before, but after some inspection, I spread out the stall, and the pressure on my shoulders was also very high, and I was worried that my family would be disappointed in me. ”
"Actually, it's relatively simple to run film and television dramas, you just need to be an investor, and then, find the right person and hand over the job to him." Xiao Fei said.
"That's what I said, but I'm afraid it's hard to find the right person, right? Brother, brother, I still say the same thing, you'd better sell me the copyright, and I'll be responsible for the success or failure. Ren Gangyi said.
"Nope! I still think that cooperation is the most appropriate. Xiao Fei insisted on his opinion.
"That's okay, but you don't need to invest in the capital investment, or according to what I just said, you only need to invest in the copyright of the work and be responsible for editing, accounting for 50% of the shares." Ren Gangyi is also very stubborn.
Xiao Fei felt that it was better to show off his strength.
He said to Ren Gangyi: "Brother Ren, I won't tell you, I now have a book planning company under my own name, and my two works "Fish Walking on Land" and "Bright Sword" are both operated and published by my own company. ”
Xiao Fei's words were in Ren Gangyi's ears, which surprised him.
"What? That Hanmo Book Culture Planning Company is your company? He asked, surprised.
Xiao Fei smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's a company I did in partnership with a friend of mine." Xiao Fei said with a smile.
"It's unexpected!" Ren Gangyi smiled and shook his head, "My brother is so business-minded. ”
Ren Gangyi has been paying attention to Xiao Fei recently, and of course he knows that the first printing of Xiao Fei's two books is very amazing, "The Fish Walking on Land" has a first printing of more than 700,000 copies, and "Bright Sword" is also more than 300,000 copies.
If you do the math, this is quite profitable.
"It's just a small fight, and it can't be compared with Brother Ren." Xiao Fei said modestly.
"You're still calling it a petty fight? When my brother is your age, he still can't achieve anything! Okay, brother, I'll take advantage of you. Ren Gangyi said.
Both of them are Shuangli people, and after talking about the details of the agreement, they agreed to cooperate in the filming of the "Bright Sword" TV series first. (To be continued......) u
