Chapter 347
Putting down the phone, Cheng Minru's expression changed several times, and finally became helpless. ∷VIII8∷Reading∷Book,.2∞≠
Seriously, Bright Times and Sugar Man are also good competitors?
Gu Cancan actually asked her to go to Sugar Man to talk about the full agency of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
Sugar Man Film and Television in China, it is also a famous film and television golden signboard, since 1999 began to produce TV series, Su Youpeng's version of "The Peerless Double Pride", Li Ruotong's version of "Yang Men Female General", etc. are all produced by Sugar Man, especially "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which has created a ratings myth, made Sugar Man famous.
However, Sugar Man also has obvious shortcomings, and it basically has no decent resources in terms of movies.
Although the TV series is also popular, it is obviously not as good as the movie.
Cheng Minru carefully pondered the Sugar Man film and television and sent someone to contact the Sugar Man.
"Cheng Minru, director of the copyright affairs department of the bright era?"
Zhang Dan, director of the marketing department of Sugar Man, listened to the report of his subordinates and was very surprised.
"What is the other party doing here?" Zhang Dan asked.
At first, she thought that Bright Times wanted to work with actors from Sugar Man, but after thinking about it, the person who came was the director of the copyright affairs department, which should not be the selection of actors.
"The specific party didn't say it explicitly, but it seems to be related to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
Zhang Dan sat up straight: "When will the other party come?" ”
"Tomorrow morning."
As the director of the marketing department, Zhang Dan has been campaigning for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" recently.
Before the filming of this TV series started, everyone was full of confidence, thinking that they could replicate the miracle of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and make a lot of money, but they never expected that after filming, they would not be able to sell it.
Because of the country's recent policy of restricting the indiscriminate adaptation of costume dramas, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was affected by Chiyu.
The satellite TV that worked closely with Sugar Man all expressed their desire not to make this film.
Although Sugar Man's earning power is also high in Huaxia Film and Television Company, it also has an obvious weakness.
Poor cash flow.
Sugar Man pays high dividends every year, and most of the cash flows into the pockets of shareholders.
So much so that when "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" could not be sold smoothly, Sugar Man had a cash flow problem.
This TV series can't be sold, and the filming of the later TV series actually has an impact.
For this reason, Zhang Dan, director of the marketing department, has been very worried recently.
Now the Bright Times Copyright Affairs Department is here, and it is not clear what the reason is, but Zhang Dan attaches great importance to this matter and specially reports it to Cai Yinong.
Cai Yinong is a native of Taiwan, and the reason why Sugar Man was able to get the film and television rights of the Fairy Sword series is basically because of Cai Yinong's face.
After listening to Zhang Dan's report, Cai Yinong said in a strong voice: "No matter what purpose the other party is reporting to come, we have to entertain well, the bright era is very strong in film production, if we can cooperate with each other, it will be of great help to our artists." ”
The next day, Cheng Min came to the sugar man as promised.
The reception specifications of the sugar man were very grand, Zhang Dan led a group of people downstairs to greet them, and the actors who did not have an appointment in the company were basically all there.
In the conference room, the guests and hosts sat down, and after greetings, they talked about the topic.
"Actually, I came today as our Mr. Gu meant," Cheng Minru took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu used to like the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" very much, and I heard that after your company made it into a TV series, I have been looking forward to the release. But I heard that because of national policies, this drama has not been released as scheduled, so Mr. Gu asked me to understand, if this drama wants to be a full-fledged agent, I don't know what your company thinks? ”
The so-called carte blanche actually wants to buy "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" and monopolize it in his hands, that is, whether it is sold to the TV station in the future, no matter how many rounds of broadcasting, it is a decision made by the bright era.
Zhang Dan didn't expect that the appetite of the bright era was so big, and he actually wanted to take full control of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
This presents a problem for the sugar man.
Sugar Man is indeed in urgent need of funds, but they are also quite optimistic about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", thinking that after the release of this TV series, it will be recognized by the market.
I just don't know when it will be broadcast on TV.
"Mr. Cheng's proposal is relatively sudden, let's discuss it." Zhang Dan also did not express a complete refusal.
Cheng Minru visited the Sugar Man accompanied by the staff of the Sugar Man, and Zhang Dan urgently had a meeting with Cai Yinong.
"It's okay to sell it. Now that the country has an ancient restriction order, no one knows when it will be canceled, and we sugar people can't wait forever. ”
"Can't be sold! I think this drama has the potential to be a big hit, and the national policy will not always be so strict, as long as it survives this time, wait for the stars later. ”
"How can you hold on, the company's expenses are so large, you can't keep waiting with hundreds of people, right?"
"There have been no new works, and artists will also have floating hearts."
There was a lot of talk in the conference room, and there was a lot of talk about it.
Cai Yinong quietly listened to the discussion of his subordinates and did not say a word.
Zhang Dan couldn't stand it anymore, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Now there are two roads in front of us. one, keep sticking to it; The other is to quickly withdraw funds and start the filming of a new TV series as originally planned. The pros and cons of this have just been made clear. Listen to Mr. Cai's opinion. ”
Cai Yinong glanced at the senior management in the conference room, and said lightly: "The current return of funds is indeed a very important thing, but "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was filmed with a lot of money and invested a lot of resources, so it is a pity to sell it like this." In my opinion, the discretionary sale is not considered, but there may be other forms of cooperation with the bright times. ”
"We can try to ask Bright Times to invest."
Someone suddenly spoke.
In fact, when it comes to the bright era, many people of the sugar man are envious, jealous and hateful, the bright era started as a popular movie, and the later masterpieces are one after another, in just four years, it has grown into a behemoth, and the sugar man can only look up now.
"Some time ago, did you róng zī?"
"They have a close relationship with Mango Technology and have in-depth cooperation."
"If we invite the other party to invest, it can greatly alleviate the company's financial difficulties."
Cai Yinong's face darkened.
When the bright era is a charity fund, if the other party wants to invest, it must be shares, and she attaches great importance to shares.
She is also ambitious.
"I mean to invite them to work with us on a TV series. Bright Times is not as good as us in TV drama production, and we can consider cooperating in TV dramas. Cai Yinong said.
SubtextAs for what you said about introducing investment in the bright era, don't think about it.
"Then what attitude should we have to reply to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"?" Zhang Dan asked.
This TV series wants to get stuck in Cai Yinong's chest now, and it's a pity to abandon it if it's tasteless.
"You've been in contact with people from the Bright Era, what do you think is their attitude towards this TV series?"
Zhang Dan pondered and replied: "Although Cheng Minru proposed to buy the full copyright, it seems that she is not determined to get it. ”
"What about the price?"
"900,000 episodes."
As soon as this offer came out, there was some commotion in the conference room.
"So high!"
"It's okay for the price."
Cai Yinong was also a little surprised when he heard this offer, and at the same time a little moved.
According to the expectations of the sugar man, the first round of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" can sell 600,000 per episode, and the remaining two, three or even more rounds are expected to reach 40-500,000 per episode.
Now the bid of the bright era has probably reached the peak price of the broadcast revenue of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", and the people of the sugar man will of course be tempted.
"Zhang Dan, you and Director Cheng of the Bright Times replied, 1.5 million per episode, and we can sell this drama with full authority." Cai Yinong said.
“……”
Cheng Minru was speechless when she heard the other party's offer, and she was simply stunned.
Is Sugar Man crazy?
"Director Zhang, I came here with great sincerity." Cheng Minru sighed, 1.5 million per episode, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has a total of 37 episodes, so it is 55.5 million.
Is Sugar Man going to treat the bright era as a big wrong?
Zhang Dan is also a little embarrassed, this price is indeed a bit too outrageous.
"The TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is indeed well-made...... she could only explain a few words weakly.
After Cheng Minru reported back to Gu Cancan, she received a reply and said to Zhang Dan: "Our Mr. Gu said that the maximum is 1 million episodes, and when it is broadcast, Sugar Man needs to coordinate the actors to cooperate with the publicity. Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I actually don't agree with Mr. Gu to buy this TV series so willfully, now the ancient limit is so strict, I don't know when I can play it after I buy it, maybe it will be smashed in my hands. I'll be honest, now I can only be willing to buy it in the bright era. ”
Zhang Dan smiled: "In fact, there are several TV stations that have expressed their willingness to buy, but the other party is a small TV station, and we don't want the pearl to be dusty." In this way, I will discuss it with our President Cai again. ”
Cai Yinong offered a price of 1.5 million per episode, and he didn't think about the bright era and agreed in one breath.
Now listening to Zhang Dan's reply to the 1 million episode, she thought for a while and said, "Promise her." ”
In such a bright era, at the price of 1 million episodes, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was bought.
During this time, the starting point also had results.
Wu Wenhui agreed to sell the film and television animation copyrights of the films that Bright Times fancied to Bright Times.
Cheng Minru went on a business trip this time, and the task was completed very successfully.
Qidian sold the film and television animation rights of four books at one time, which caused an uproar in the online literature industry.
At this time, the status of online literature was still low, and many people did not recognize this profession.
But with the fact that Qidian has *** the film and television animation copyrights of four books at a time, this matter has also been on the entertainment news, and the name Qidian has entered the eyes of many people for the first time.
In fact, as early as 2005, the bright era bought the film and television animation copyright of "Zhu Xian", and later adapted "Heartless Mage" and "Step by Step".
Now that the bright era has extended its tentacles to the fire book of the starting point male frequency, anyone who cares can see that the bright era wants to cultivate the ambition of online text iP.
For online writers, they have more longing for their careers.
The rights of the four authors were sold, and the reactions of the four were different.
The direction is very excited, "The Legend of the Master" is his first part, the monthly income of the Qidian subscription is less than 10,000, and now the animation adaptation fee can be 150,000, which is a lot of money.
Butterfly Blue is also very happy, he and his girlfriend developed in the capital after graduation, and his girlfriend went to work, and he chose to be a professional online writer, which is actually very stressful.
However, he has a high talent in online articles, and every one he writes is well received by readers, and he is already the platinum god of Qidian.
Butterfly's recent girlfriend discussed buying a house, and the money was still 300,000 yuan, and then the good news came that the animation copyright of "Online Game Melee Mage" was sold, and he could get a share of the copyright fee of 250,000, which greatly relieved his financial pressure.
The cat is very calm. His income is also high among platinum writers, and he has no pressure to buy a house, and after learning that the film and television copyright of his work "Celebrating More Than Years" is sold, he can get a copyright fee of 500,000, and he only replied to the editor lightly, saying that he knew.
And the dream is like a god, but there is a fire in the heart.
He believes that Qidian disrespectfully sold the copyright of his book without consulting him.
The person who practiced martial arts was angry and spoke out angrily on Weibo, criticizing the senior management of Qidian for not taking Qidian's writers seriously.
However, this matter did not make a big fuss, and under the appeasement of the editor, the god-level still quieted down, but this matter had planted a seed of unhappiness for each other before the god-level and the starting point.
……
"Thank you for the gifts, I'll take a drink first." Si Jing smiled sweetly at the camera, got up to pour water, and looked at Xiaoyue, who was still sleeping.
Since she resigned and moved to buy a house for live broadcast, she has had a hard time at first, but with the growth of her live broadcast time, her popularity has slowly increased, and now she is also a third-tier female anchor in YY.
Well, after all, it's a divorce shǎo fù, and with a little milk baby, the natural competition is no more than those bewitching jian goods.
However, although she is a third-tier anchor, Si Jing is a professional musician after all, and her professionalism is not to be said, with a group of more loyal fans, her income is a little higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers, and she is enough to support her and her children.
Now that Xiaoyue has been more than a week, she has less and less sleep time during the day, and she is noisy at night, Si Jing doesn't want her children to be disturbed, and she never exposes Xiaoyue to the camera during the live broadcast.
Inevitably, her live broadcast time became unstable, and her income dropped a lot.
As the child grows up and becomes sensible, Si Jing knows that being an anchor is not a long-term solution.
Just when Si Jing was a little anxious, Gu Cancan came to her house to play once, telling her that "The Voice of China" was about to be held in the bright era, and hoped that Si Jing would participate in the competition.
Si Jing is a serious professional, she is beautiful and beautiful, and her experience also has good hype points.
It is very in line with the selection criteria of "The Voice of China".
And Si Jing can make her debut with "The Voice of China", and of course the livelihood of her and Xiaoyue is no longer a problem.
This time, Si Jing did not refuse Gu Cancan's proposal, she promised to participate in the show.
