Ye Jiayi and Zhang Yanping's first cooperation negotiation on the "League of Legends" movie ended in a rather unsatisfactory way.

The two sides didn't talk about any problems, but Wedo Entertainment mentioned the sharing of copyright rights of "League of Legends", which directly made Zhang Yanping furious.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, if we were willing to accept the sharing of copyright rights, then we would have negotiated a partnership with a company like Disney a few years ago. If your company has such an unrealistic idea, then we don't have any need to talk about it. ”

He is telling the truth, IP ownership, which is something that Penguin cannot talk about with the outside world.

As a game that can be regarded as a national game in China and has countless fans in the global market, "League of Legends" is simply a priceless treasure in all aspects of its IP value.

For predators like penguins, they are not short of money, on the contrary, this level of IP is a real scarce product.

This is almost the same for those movie tycoons in Hollywood.

Hollywood has more experience in operating IP and series than anyone else. At the same time, they are super misers in terms of copyright.

Only those big companies eat the copyright, and they never see them spit out.

For penguins, the copyright of "League of Legends" is absolutely impossible to share.

They would rather not do it, and would rather let LOL movies be buried in the copyright vault forever, rather than take out the copyright and share it with others.

After the collapse of the first talk, Ye Jiayi also basically confirmed this point from Zhang Yanping's attitude and the information collected from all sides.

It is unlikely that Dimension Entertainment wants to share the copyright of "League of Legends".

However, in the same way, if you just take money to be a producer, it is also impossible for Ye Jiayi.

Wedo Entertainment is no longer the company that made content for people back then, and the model of "Full-time Master" animation is just a road that must be passed when the company was established in the early days and lacked funds. At this time, it is impossible for Wedo Entertainment to be a simple producer.

If this is the case, the contradiction between the two sides in cooperation will be more acute.

Moreover, for both parties, the other party is not a necessary choice in cooperation.

If Wedo Entertainment wants to make blockbuster movies, they have their own production capabilities and high-quality copyrights in their hands - even if they didn't have it before, they have it now.

For example, it is also a game adaptation movie, and the popularity of "Taiwu 2" is also very good, so isn't it the same with this IP? And not to mention the film copyright, all the copyrights of "Taiwu Picture Scroll" are in the hands of Wedo Entertainment.

They don't have to do "League of Legends", this is Fan Zhe's personal hobby and feelings, yes, but it is not necessary in business.

For Penguin Pictures, at present, it seems that finding Dimension Entertainment as a producer is not a must-see. They are now in further contact and negotiation with a number of Hollywood film and television companies, although the results of the negotiations are not very satisfactory, but they are not to the point where they can not play it completely.

As a result, the cooperation between the two sides on "League of Legends" has settled down for the time being.

Later, Fan Zhe also had a whim and asked Ye Jiayi to ask, it is unrealistic to buy the copyright of the entire "League of Legends", but is it possible to buy the copyright of a few heroes? It's like Marvel sold Wolverine, the X-Men, and Spider-Man.

Can you take a few of the popular heroes from League of Legends, such as 'Night Hunter?' Wayne', 'Demacia's power? Galen's film rights, bought separately?

In this regard, Penguin Pictures is not as resolute as before, but their response is still to refuse to sell.

But Ye Jiayi believes that the operability of this is relatively much higher.

What's more, even if you can't buy the copyright, it is not impossible to negotiate cooperation with more suitable conditions.

Ye Jiayi has no feelings for League of Legends, but from a purely commercial point of view, this work is still very valuable. If it can be talked about, it will certainly be of considerable help to Dimension Entertainment.

To this end, she set up a project department and continued to maintain contact with Penguin Pictures.

……

At the end of October, there was a big event for the employees of Wedo Entertainment - the company's annual meeting.

Every year, all the employees of Wedo Entertainment will be organized on this day to have a good time together.

It stands to reason that most of the company's annual meeting will be arranged at the end of the year, and the year will be over.

Wedo Entertainment is not, it is so maverick, and the annual meeting is held in October every year to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of each company.

This year is a year of explosive growth for Wedo Entertainment, in terms of business, the success of film and television dramas and animation content is not unusual, and the most important thing is the huge success of the game "Taiwu 2", which has made Wedo Entertainment's revenue swell to a very exaggerated level.

The annual revenue of the entire company this year is almost 10 billion.

As a result, the annual meeting has become more generous.

The whole company up and down, about six or seven hundred people, gathered in a fixed hotel, ten people a table, each table alone for almost 3,000 yuan, wine, juice and other drinks, but also for their own use.

In front, there is also a stage with real-time broadcast to the big screen, which is the same as some high-end parties, and the host is a few HR sisters and little brothers of the company, and after the opening remarks, there are performances such as singing and dancing, sketches, etc.

Half of these performances were rehearsed by the company's employees themselves and then put on stage, and the other half invited some stars.

For example, Chen Yu and Una, a group of actors from dimensional agents, have arrived, and a small stage play has been arranged.

In addition, some star singers were invited.

The whole party really cost a lot of money.

But the deep-pocketed dimension entertainment doesn't care at all!

In the various programs of the annual meeting, various intervals of eating and drinking, and there are also welfare lotteries that are popular to see.

Wedo Entertainment is very generous on this. Every employee, regardless of rank or position, was given a shopping card with 1,000 yuan points, which was directly used as cash.

In addition, the company also prepared quite a lot of gifts for its employees, the winning rate is said to cover 100%, and those who are unlucky can draw dozens of hundreds of things, and those who are lucky can also get things worth one or two hundred yuan.

They didn't engage in any gimmicks like a Ferrari, it's not that they can't afford it, but it's not interesting, the same investment, adding a few more 100,000 yuan level gifts, is more affordable.

An annual meeting is happily coming to an end.
