Chapter Twenty-Eight: Role Determination
Qi Ming felt that Wu Fengqi's statement was very reasonable, but Qi Ming did not agree with Wu Fengqi's predicted ratings.
Before there was condor shooting, when it first appeared, it was also to create a new pattern of martial arts, no one could have imagined that once it was released, the sales of newspapers and periodicals would increase so terrifyingly, and the number of newspapers and periodicals was predetermined, which was growing at an alarming rate.
And this is just what I see in real life, on the Internet, Condor shooting has set off a small-scale craze, and even entered the top 20 of the total search list of thousands of songs.
This all proves a problem, that is, the acceptance of the people is very strong, provided that your stuff is good.
As for why this novel will go to film and television first, it has actually been carefully considered by Qi Ming.
The Legend of the White-Haired Witch, written by Liang Yusheng, was published in 1957, and the story is unfolded throughout with the female character Lian Nishang as the first character, which is completely different from previous novels with male characters as the protagonists.
Because of this, although this novel is extremely exciting, it even made Liang Yusheng a well-known martial arts master.
But this novel has a big drawback, that is, because of the female characters as the protagonists, the sales of this novel at that time were not good, although Liang Yusheng was already a master of writing the groundbreaking martial arts of Dragon Tiger Dou Jinghua.
However, this novel erupted in a blowout after being filmed, and the sales of the white-haired witch biography, which did not sell well, increased several times.
Later, after film and television adaptations over and over again, the novel The Legend of the White-Haired Witch was completely brought into the public's sight, and it also achieved the prestige of Liang Yusheng's martial arts.
Because of this, Qi Ming considered film and television first, although the public acceptance here is very high, and the white-haired witch will be serialized by the Condor Shooting Series, and it will also become a popular martial arts novel, but Qi Ming still feels that film and television first is the most appropriate.
Let the white-haired witch be the first film and television, in addition to the summary of the blue planet, Qi Ming also focused on another thing, that is, shooting the eagle.
As a well-known TV series on the Blue Planet, if Condor Shooting appears directly in this world, although it will also cause a sensation, I am afraid that it will not be a big sensation, because Condor Shooting has not yet been sold nationwide, so its influence is limited, so it will not be able to maximize the film and television coverage of Condor Shooting.
However, if the Legend of the White-Haired Witch is first filmed, the public will have a new concept of the new martial arts, and will pay more attention to the author of the White Witch.
As for the ratings of the White Witch after the film and television, Qi Ming is not worried at all, because the plot of the Legend of the White-Haired Witch is there, and the White Witch is a novel suitable for film and television.
"My idea is very simple, that is, after the White Witch is screened, I want to recover the copyright fee in the way of ratings, and if the ratings do not reach 2.0 by then, I will not charge the white-haired witch a penny for film and television adaptation." Qi Ming said after listening to Wu Fengqi's analysis.
"Brother Qi, I know that you are very optimistic about the film and television of this novel, but as a friend, I have to advise you to think twice, the ratings are really mysterious, as long as you nod, I will report to the above when I go back, I believe that the film and television copyright of this novel will give you a suitable price." Wu Fengqi said after hearing this.
Gu Qingyuan also pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Qi, I have never heard of your idea, although I think it is feasible, I still think that you don't need to take this risk, I think it is most appropriate to sell the film and television copyright directly." ”
Qi Ming naturally knew that Gu Qingyuan and Wu Fengqi were thinking about themselves, after all, as long as the film and television rights were sold, a large amount of money would be credited to the account, and as for the ratings in the future, it would be completely irrelevant, and it could be said that there was no risk.
But if the copyright fee is charged on the basis of ratings 2.0, it is a risky move, and if you are not careful, you may not be able to get a copyright fee, after all, there is a vengeful woman to learn from the past.
"Thank you two elder brothers for thinking about me, I, Qi Ming, am not a stubborn person, but this idea is a decision that I have been thinking about for a long time, so don't persuade me." Qi Ming said with a smile, his words full of gratitude.
Wu Fengqi and the others also knew Qi Ming's character, so when they heard Qi Ming say this, they didn't persuade each other, but returned the topic to film and television copyrights.
"Then I want to hear what you're talking about, Brother Qi." Wu Fengqi took the notebook on the side and began to draw up a simple contract.
"With the ratings of 2.0 as the boundary, below 2.0, I don't want a cent of royalties, but if it exceeds 2.0, then I will charge 100,000 yuan per 0.1 ratings as the copyright fee for the novel."
"And the most important point is that I have the final decision on all the characters in this show." Qi Ming said.
Wu Fengqi was typing on the keyboard while thinking about Qi Ming's words.
"There must be no problem with the ratings according to what you said, I think many copyright directors in Fenghua will be very happy to hear what you say, after all, this is a completely empty glove white wolf for us Fenghua, an extremely excellent new martial arts, without charging a single copyright fee for us to shoot and screen, which can be described as a completely win-win situation."
"As for your second request, Brother Qi, I think I need to go back and discuss it with the relevant personnel, after all, we Fenghua has a lot of star-making plans every year, and I can't directly agree to you, but I understand very well that Brother Qi needs the role to finally decide on power, after all, in this novel, only you know that the actor is the most suitable." Wu Fengqi said to Qi Ming.
"Then there's Lao Angkor." Qi Ming said with a smile.
"Work within the division, say what is labor." Wu Fengqi replied.
Seeing that the film and television copyright was negotiated, Gu Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Brother Qi, if you still treat me as a brother, you can't choose another publishing house when your novel is published, otherwise I, Gu Qingyuan, will have to turn against you." ”
Seeing Gu Qingyuan's pretending to be serious, Qi Ming said, "Don't worry, where is Brother Gu, the copyright of this novel is there." ”
Hearing Qi Ming say this, Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart.
Everyone present understood people, so everyone knew the meaning of Qi Ming's words, especially Wu Fengqi, when he heard Qi Ming say this, he couldn't help but rethink Gu Qingyuan's position and treatment again, and felt that it was necessary to reflect properly with the above after going back.
After all, as long as Gu Qingyuan is in the martial arts publishing house, there will be a steady supply of Qi Ming's martial arts boutiques.
The business was basically finished here, and all that was left was to see if it could be fulfilled, so everyone began to relax and enjoy it.
"Are you the author of the Condor Shooter?" Just as everyone was relaxing, a girl who was washing her feet asked.
