Chapter 966: Mulan
Paving the way for "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" with "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"?
In Sun Ya's view, this is a crazy idea, and it is completely worth the loss: you must know that the former is favored by countless film companies, believing that even if it can't replicate the success of "Frozen", as long as it is filmed well, it can win the super box office work. After all, since the box office explosion of "Frozen", the picture books under Laobai's name now have many fans, and their annual sales can stabilize at millions of sets!
The question is "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone", what does it have?
The domestic sales are not bad, and by the standards of other Chinese writers, its results abroad can even be regarded as excellent, and there are very few Chinese writers who can sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year. But this alone is not enough, at least compared with Lao Bai's martial arts, it is too far behind, so that Sun Ya can't understand why Sun Peng treats this child so seriously!
So after guessing Sun Peng's plan, she was so surprised.
"Wow, you're so smart, sister!"
didn't directly answer the second sister's question, Sun Peng blinked desperately, and sincerely admired his second sister's ingenuity - she just said that she wanted to transfer the adaptation rights of the two books, and she directly guessed the real purpose of the back, this brain turned too fast, right?
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"
"Well, I do have such a plan!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng stopped inking, nodded and said, "There will be at least seven copies of the Little Wizard Han Bo series, and it will be a very important IP in my plan!" From anime to movies with huge investments, Little Wizard is going to be the most valuable series to my name...... In the long run, my expectations for it will definitely not be less than those martial arts! ”
"Sizzle......"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Sun Ya couldn't help but gasp!
Isn't it less expected than martial arts?
What is this concept?
As Sun Peng's agent, she really understands the value of those martial arts too well!
With the quiet rise of martial arts culture in China, it has now deservedly become one of the popular cultures - this is not only the set of books under Lao Bai's name, but also the tens of thousands of martial arts that have been completed or are being updated on several major online websites!
And not only words, the development of martial arts culture is now blooming everywhere.
The Condor trilogy shines on the small screen, and although none of them has yet topped the annual ratings, almost all of them are among the previous lives. And the martial arts adaptations of other companies also have good ratings, especially the click-through rate on the network is higher!
This kind of fresh stuff is more in line with the needs of those young people.
So in the past year, after Sun Peng nodded and agreed, Sun Ya has released the adaptation rights of several other films one by one. The second thing that reaps a large number of copyright transfer fees is secondly, and more importantly, the TV series has a large audience and a wide range of influence, which can attract a large number of fans to Lao Bai!
There are also anime and games, with the increase in DreamWorks' revenue, as well as the hot sales of the Condor trilogy adaptation game after its launch, all of which have made major game companies value martial arts games to a big level, and the adaptation rights of martial arts master Lao Bai's works have directly rushed to the top of the game adaptation offer!
The transfer of the adaptation rights of each part means tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of income to Lao Bai!
So when Sun Ya's economic company began to operate the adaptation rights of those martial arts last year, and began to sign various transfer contracts this year, she could almost book the top spot on the writers' list at the end of the year - no writer can stand at the top of the entertainment industry like Lao Bai, with so many fans and supporters, and no one has so many bestsellers who are still at the peak, let alone anyone who will release all the adaptation rights of the work in one go!
The value of those martial arts is simply immeasurable!
But now someone told Sun Ya that there is a set of books that are as valuable as these martial arts, even if the person who said these words is Lao Bai himself, how can she be convinced?
Looking at the expression of the second sister, Sun Peng knew that she didn't believe it, but fortunately, Sun Peng didn't need her to believe it, just smiled and said: "Okay sister, what will happen in the future, that's in the future, you just need to pass on my words now......"
……
Sun Peng's attention to the Little Wizard series is indeed not much different from martial arts.
Because he knows very well the height that the Harry Potter series has reached on Earth, even if it is difficult to completely replicate it in this world, as long as it can reach fifty or sixty percent, it is enough to set an unattainable benchmark! Even if the overall value of martial arts will be on it in the future, but if you go it alone, the little wizard will definitely not be scared!
So with "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" as a foreshadowing, there is nothing wrong with it!
And when the news that Lao Bai wanted to transfer a picture book and a movie adaptation right at the same time was released, as Sun Peng expected, countless film companies moved when they heard the news, and Sun Ya, who had just been idle, was busy like a dog again.
No way, the celebration banquet of "The Matrix" has only been over for a short time!
And from last summer to this summer, "Bourne's Identity", "The Sixth Sense", "True Lies" and "The Matrix" have been released one after another, and the box office has shocked filmmakers dizzy, not to mention the major domestic companies in China, even Hollywood's script for laobai is also very red now, who wants to let go of such an opportunity easily?
So it was just a "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe", which quickly attracted the real giants of Hollywood. Even "Han Bo and Lingshi", whose influence is far less than those picture books and martial arts, companies such as Lotus Pictures and the Forbidden City also inquired as soon as possible, and then the major Chinese giants quickly followed suit......
……
"Simply put, it's going to be a live-action movie!"
Lazily spread out on the sofa, Sun Peng took his mobile phone and explained to Chen Muchen: "From the beginning, I never thought of changing "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" into animation, that is not its destination. A family-style movie that combines live-action and CG is what it should be! And in any case, the story is set in the West, so it has to be filmed by Hollywood! As for DreamWorks...... Let's pick another one. ”
“…… All right. ”
Hearing Sun Peng say this, Chen Muchen suddenly felt relieved.
In fact, of course he doesn't care about the adaptation rights of a picture book, but Chen Muchen is worried about Lao Bai's other works. If Sun Peng quietly sold the adaptation rights of several picture books, then DreamWorks would really cry - compared to other old animation giants, they can count on Sun Peng's script.
So after breathing a sigh of relief, Chen Muchen said in a serious tone: "Okay, then Qingqing and I have already chosen!" DreamWorks' next animation, we want to do Mulan......"
