Chapter 52: Why Don't You Say Two Hundred and Five?
Kappa wanted to learn more about the Special Events Task Force, and Fan Zhe agreed to him.
It is true that Kappa is the head of the animation project team of "Full Time Master", but he is also the leader of the copyright development of Lewen Group, which can be regarded as the top management of the group, and in the area of copyright marketing and development, in addition to the boss, it is he who has the final say.
"Full-time" is a key project of Lewen Group, and he must keep an eye on it. But the news that 'Dimension Entertainment' is preparing to develop "Special Events Task Force" also makes him very concerned.
Although the copyright has been sold in full, and the follow-up income of this work has nothing to do with the Lewen Group, to be honest, Kappa still very much hopes that the adaptation of this work will be successful.
The main business of Lewen Group is to make online novels. Its Qidian Chinese website is the largest Chinese reading website. From the opening of the station to the present, in the past ten years, I don't know how many excellent works have been accumulated. At the same time, the development of Levin Group has been getting better and better in recent years, and almost every once in a while, some excellent works will appear.
With such a huge treasure trove of content, the best way for Levin Group to appreciate is to make its works more valuable.
Online reading is certainly the most important basic disk of Lewen Group, but if you want to develop further, it is better to maximize the value of its IP.
Under this premise, they attach great importance to the adaptation of films, television, animations, and games of each work from Qidian. Obviously, if the adaptation of the work is very good, then it will in turn bring the value of other IP copyrights that have not yet been sold, and the tide will rise with it.
What's more, although all the copyrights of the work "Special Events Task Force" are now in the hands of 'Dimension Entertainment', but ...... Isn't it true that IP development is such a thing?
Kappa doesn't think so.
As far as he knew, the organizational structure of the 'Dimension Entertainment' company had just been built, and even from the eyes of a person like him, it was too shabby. The personnel and finance departments are still handled by Fan Zhe, the boss and several subordinates, the marketing department for external publicity, the Ministry of Commerce responsible for external communication, and the legal department responsible for law-related issues...... These important support departments don't even have a shadow.
With the ability of 'dimensional entertainment', Kappa will not doubt that he can make animations and do them well.
But in this highly competitive market, quality alone is not enough for a work to be successful in a broad sense.
At the beginning, when Fan Zhe was doing the remake of "Full Time", he was clever. With the original work and animation of "Full-time Master", which have become very famous, it has gained wide recognition by winning by quality.
The situation of the "Special Events Task Force" project can be very different. First of all, in terms of the popularity of the original work, this niche work is very different from "Full Time" itself. What's more, it is still the first time it has been adapted, and none of its predecessors have been drained.
In this case, the quality of the work is good, and it is easy to make a situation of applause. For 'Dimension Entertainment', it is even possible that when the work is made, it will not be sold.
But when it comes to working with Levan Group, it's a very different story.
After all, such a large group, the marketing channels will be very rich. And the adaptation of the work "Special Events Task Force" has become popular, which is also very helpful for Lewen Group to continue to promote its other IPs - their copyrights are sold expensively, and works with slightly better results dare to ask for tens of millions.
In this regard, after thinking about it, Fan Zhe also decided that if the conditions are right, it is nothing to cooperate with Lewen Group.
……
I came with the intention of cooperation, but after seeing a series of conceptual design drawings provided by Fan Zhe, Kappa retreated.
He smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Fan...... You are really bold. ”
Dare to do this kind of thing.
Fan Zhele said: "I don't have any guts, I feel like this style, so I did it." ”
"Mr. Fan is really willful, with millions of investments, he doesn't care so much......" Kappa couldn't help his desire to complain.
Fan Zhe smiled but did not say anything.
His expression, in the eyes of the kappa, looked like a victory.
Kappa was a little suspicious.
Judging from his own professional level, it is really difficult for such a niche work to produce results. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have thrown himself into it.
But......
Thinking about the remake of "Full Time", and then thinking about the quality of the finished animation of the second season of "Full Time" in the three episodes that have been made by "Dimension Entertainment", he feels that he should trust the other party.
"According to what you said, the animation "Special Events Task Force", you also want to do a quarterly broadcast, ten episodes in one season?"
"Yes."
"That'...... How about 1.5 million to buy the broadcast rights of this set of animations? ”
Fan Zhe laughed directly, why don't you say two hundred and five?
Kappa was also embarrassed to have fun.
If you calculate it, people just bought the copyrights of the two works "Task Force" and "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution", and spent 3 million to buy back 1.5 million of the finished animation products? Hehe......
Although I know that the production cost of this work will not be too high, this price is obviously impossible.
However, in the style of this work, the kappa would not dare to offer a higher price.
Fan Zhe retracted his smile and said solemnly: "Then let me put forward an idea." After we finish producing this work, we can hand it over to you for operation, and you can get a certain share of the proceeds from the sale of the animation; The peripheral copyright development of animation works can also be assigned to you, but this division does not involve subsequent works. And you are responsible for the operation of the work, including sales and publicity, what do you think? ”
Kappa quickly calculated in his heart that this was acceptable.
His face was impassive: "In general, this cooperation model sounds pretty good, we can try it." However, we will definitely need further negotiations on the implementation of the share ratio and the specific terms. ”
"That's fine."
"Okay, I'll talk to our boss then."
After determining the general intention, Fan Zhe mentioned another thing.
"Can you contact the author of the Special Events Task Force?"
"What?" Kappa was vigilant, the author's resource is very sensitive.
"Take it easy, I just want to invite the original author to join in the adaptation of the animation script."
"It's not a big problem, but we have to contact the author first, and this is still based on the author's own wishes."
"Hope to hear good news from you."
After sending off the kappa, Fan Zhe put the matter behind him for the time being.
He trusts Kappa and the owners of the Levan Group to make the right choice.
