Bincheng, a star-rated hotel.

Operation Officer Liu is holding coffee and wearing a bathrobe on the sofa in the living room to work leisurely.

In his hand, he was holding the phone and talking.

"Yes, so that game isn't actually called Dead Time, it's called Dead Space."

...

"That's true, it's just a name, the name is not important, what matters is popularity and popularity."

...

"Hahaha, that's true. Maybe the movies are out, maybe the games aren't finished yet. Director Jin, you also know this. ”

…

"That's okay, I'll stay in Bincheng for about 3 days at most, Director Jin will see when you are free and we can meet and talk?"

...

"No problem, then it's decided that Jin Dao!"

…

…

The two tugged at each other for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

After the call, Operation Officer Liu directly threw the phone aside, and then picked up the coffee, took a sip, and showed a comfortable expression.

Then he crossed Erlang's legs, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"I really didn't expect that I could talk about such a business on a business trip to Bincheng. 26 million, one film and television adaptation right, tsk. ”

Operation Officer Liu grinned lightly.

Through the conversation with Director Jin just now, he asked the other party that since he wants to rely on film and television dramas to promote newcomers, why don't he just ask a screenwriter to write a bloody love drama, but to adapt the game to make a movie?

Although Operation Officer Liu is not a person in the entertainment industry, and he has not watched those bloody dramas, he also knows that Xiao Xianrou's debut relies on this kind of love to attract young people.

The difference is that some are modern romance dramas, and some are costume romance dramas.

And Director Jin just smiled and patiently explained to him.

said that the current industry is not easy to mix, and the debut of newcomers in various companies relies on romantic dramas and handsome and cold characters.

Everyone in the industry plays like this, and whether the artist can get ahead now depends on the artist's own face.

So, if you want to stand out in such a situation, you have to play some tricks and do something different.

So like a game adaptation of a movie, it's actually a good choice to test the waters.

It was a success, and both gamers and viewers reaped the benefits.

Fail, that's fine. The artist has been launched, the fame has been made, and all that remains is to operate slowly.

Of course, the plot of the game must be in line with the current entertainment market.

That is, love is the mainstay.

And the artist can't be too dirty and messy, which will have an impact on her image.

After explaining, Operation Officer Liu also understood a lot.

Actually, after talking for a long time, it is nothing more than filming a different romantic drama in the name of games.

The point is in the gimmick of the game.

Think about it, other people's families are this love, that love.

The only thing in my house is the game adaptation.

Isn't this difference coming out? Isn't the curiosity of the audience coming?

Isn't there traffic?

Operation Officer Liu smiled and didn't say anything.

For him, as long as he is willing to pay for it, he can adapt this game however he wants.

I even hope to buy all the game copyrights that the company has hidden and no one cares about.

In this way, surplus value can be brought into play.

In short, the matter of cooperation is going in the direction he planned.

But then, his phone rang...

...

…

"What? You say we don't have copyright at all? ”

Operation Officer Liu was stupid.

Listening to the report of his personal secretary on his mobile phone, he couldn't believe it.

"You mean, we at Infinite Online Entertainment not only have to provide them with channel resources, but also have to pay for the promotion costs in the early stage? When it's over, only take a commission? So time-consuming and laborious in the end, there is no copyright? ”

[... Yes, Mr. Liu. ]

Hiss –

Operation Officer Liu gasped, as if he had heard something fantastical.

"Is it written in black and white on the contract?"

[... Yes. ]

Operation Officer Liu: ......

"Who made this contract? Didn't you give it to the legal department for review!? ”

Operation Officer Liu's voice was heavy, and he had a tendency to want to roar. Hearing this, the little secretary on the phone trembled slightly.

That's how it feels... I felt from the boss of the small company surnamed Meng that now he was led by himself again...

This feels... I really want to cry without tears...

[... It's the director of the second product operation department.,Surname is pity.,Female.。 ]

"Director?"

Operation Officer Liu frowned, and his voice was raised again.

"Did you explain this to her? This is the business we talked to Amagi Pictures. ”

The secretary nodded and whispered in response.

[Yes, but she also said that there is no copyright of the work, so it can't be arranged.] And let me tell you about it, I'm afraid that something will happen to your business...]

"That's it? No results? ”

[Not yet...]

Operation Officer Liu took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.

"Did you contact the company that makes the game? What do they say? ”

After hearing this, the secretary hurriedly told the process of contacting Meng Shu carefully, during which he did not dare to add oil and vinegar, nor did he dare to bring his own subjective opinions.

After about ten minutes, Operation Officer Liu asked loudly after listening.

"You're saying they don't want to hand over the copyright? Do you still want our Unlimited Online Entertainment to continue to provide them with promotion channels and pre-publicity costs? Is there such a good thing? ”

The secretary was a little scared, but continued to tell the leader what the conversation was about.

[Yes...] They don't seem to care about working with us... Even if the cooperation is terminated... They can also do it themselves... And let you or the chairman call him...]

"Let me and Mr. Liang call him?"

Operation Officer Liu loudly expressed his dissatisfaction.

You, a small company that makes games, have eaten so many benefits with our unlimited online entertainment, and still hold the copyright of your works?

Now, you're more confident?

And let us call you?

Operation Officer Liu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Nowadays, it is true that the copyright is not in your own hands, and this is an established fact.

But I've already made an appointment with Director Jin for an interview, so I can't end it here, right?

The top priority is to find a way to get the copyright first, so that you will not miss the contract, and you can continue to negotiate business with Amagi Pictures.

Twenty-six million royalties...

Operation Officer Liu made a decision in his heart.

"You told that company in the past that we were interested in buying the rights to their Dead Space and asked them to quote a price."

"Remember, we can bid up to three million."

"When we get their copyrights, let them get out. It's impossible for us to continue such a risky and loss-making cooperation, do you understand? ”

[Okay... I understand Mr. Liu. ]

"Also, the supervisor surnamed Liu called her along. Since she is the person in charge, let her be responsible to the end, and make sure that the copyright matter is negotiated for me! ”

[Okay Mr. Liu!] ]

After speaking, Operation Officer Liu hung up the phone.

Looking at his phone, recalling the secretary's report just now, he still felt a little ridiculous.

You must know that the companies that cooperate with Unlimited Internet Entertainment, all at the level of small and medium-sized enterprises, only have the right to develop and produce products, but have no ownership.

To put it simply, Unlimited Online Entertainment is giving orders to these small and medium-sized companies, and the copyright is still on the side of Infinite Internet Entertainment.

Therefore, Operation Officer Liu has always felt that "Dead Space" was also funded by Infinite NetEntertainment and the only game to be developed.

But I didn't expect it to be not!

In this cooperation, Infinite Net Entertainment is actually just a positioning role to help promote distribution.

This was a big surprise to him, and it also made him have to face reality.

Okay, since the copyright is not ours, then I'll buy your copyright.

Of course, this is the end of the future cooperation.

It's too risky for us to pay for promotions like this.

Once the game doesn't sell well, the promotion money invested will not be recovered.

Moreover, the promotion cost often accounts for the majority of the money, at least more than one million, and more than ten million!

With such a large budget, our unlimited online entertainment came out first?

Can the sales of your game be guaranteed to be several times more than the advertising cost?

Therefore, from the company's point of view, Operation Officer Liu will not continue this kind of cooperation.

At the same time, such a small company will not be allowed to rely on the channel resources of unlimited online entertainment.

After all, it's a business, not a hard money after helping.

If you want to continue to work together, you can't have exclusive copyright.

There is no such good thing in the world!

...

An hour later, the secretary called.

Operation Officer Liu picked it up and listened to the report.

But the news she brought made Operation Officer Liu's eyes widen.

"He said he wouldn't sell? Three million don't sell? So how much does he want? ”

"How much is not sold? What does he mean? ”

The secretary on the other end of the phone didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly relayed the words of the little boss.

[He said he didn't want the game to be revised.] In the future, if there is a chance, he will personally go to the film and television company, so you don't have to trouble us to help in the middle...]

When Operation Officer Liu heard this, he immediately understood what he meant.

At the end of the day, the small company just wants to make all the money.

What is going to connect with the film and television company in person, I don't want Infinite Online Entertainment to get involved in it at all.

Okay, I've relied on unlimited online entertainment for so long, and now you want to come by yourself, right?

Fulfill you!

Operation Officer Liu understands that it is not okay not to give some color, otherwise they still think that unlimited online entertainment is a kind of stuff for them to knead.

"Go tell the only game that our collaboration is over. But don't be so straightforward, go and draft a notice, think about the words, and try to find problems on the contract. Because we will not do this kind of time-consuming, laborious and risky thing. ”

"I want to see what their expressions will be after our infinite online entertainment comes to the real place! Copyright? OK! Don't do anything without unlimited online entertainment, that's funny! When the time comes, come back to us and cooperate again, won't your copyright fall into our hands? ”

The secretary on the other end of the phone hurriedly said yes, and then hung up the phone to implement.

On the other hand, Operation Officer Liu, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

Although the words are now clear, the copyright is really not in hand.

And he and Director Jin have determined the time to meet, so they can't default at that time, right?

Operation Officer Liu thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to the secretary.

Half an hour later, the secretary replied.

As soon as Operation Officer Liu saw the content, he immediately smiled.

The above news is that the trademark of "Dead Space" has not been registered in all 45 categories!

Only the category of 41-Education and Entertainment has been temporarily registered.

And Operation Officer Liu thought of a way that would neither delay the cooperation with Director Jin nor require the only game copyright.

That is to preemptively register the remaining 44 categories, and then sue the only game for trademark infringement!

He firmly believes that with the ability of the legal department of Unlimited Internet Entertainment, it can't deal with a small company?

When the lawsuit is won, the name "Dead Space" will be owned by Infinite Net Entertainment in a dignified manner.

And the only game can either change its name, or appeal, and the cycle repeats.

But what if you just have a name and no specific game?

This can also be solved.

Because who can guarantee that the game will be completed on time?

When the time comes, as soon as the contract with Director Jin is signed, his movie will come out, and the game on his side will be 'difficult to deliver', which is also reasonable.

After all, compared to the development cycle of the game, the shooting cycle of the movie cannot be shorter.

Even Director Jin himself understands this truth, so when his movie is finished and released, the game may be gone, or it may not be made yet.

But that's all for later, anyway, his movie has already become, and the popularity of the early game has also been rubbed in.

It doesn't really matter if the game is there or not.

In itself, Jin Dao is interested in the early popularity brought by the name of the game, rather than the game itself.

In addition, the plot of the movie is also based on original love, so I don't worry about anything wrong at all.

The only difficulty is that the problem of changing the main character of the game cannot be realized.

But this problem can actually be solved for Jin Dao, who doesn't understand the game.

Just tell him that replacing the character model will increase the immeasurable development cost of Infinity NetEntertainment, and it will also increase the development time exponentially.

If this continues, the royalty may increase by 26 million.

Hearing such words, presumably Director Jin will also seriously consider whether to do this.

In addition, if the original "Dead Space" is made, it will also be a different game.

It doesn't match the name 'Dead Space' anymore.

A completely new game!

So after thinking of this method, Operation Officer Liu dialed the secretary's number...
