Chapter 549: 1996!

Although He Yun really wants to win the animation adaptation rights of "The Wandering Earth", can it be made into an animated film? When to start this animation project is a question.

Why! It's also very simple!

It's really too big a science fiction work, and many of the settings in it are not something that ordinary screenwriters can adapt well.

What worries He Yun even more is that for this sci-fi film, can Yunyi Animation make it, and how long will it take to make it?

That's all a big question mark.

After thinking about it, He Yun finally decided to take it for the time being, and he had to wait for the opportunity to think about it later.

So, he immediately agreed to Liu Cixin's request on the phone, and promised him that he would send him the contract for the transfer of adaptation rights in the near future.

Seriously, this science fiction work, won its adaptation rights at a price of 8,000 yuan, and put it in future generations, it is almost unimaginable.

Although it is only an anime adaptation right, such a price is indeed too low.

However, Liu Cixin thanked He Yun vigorously on the phone, saying that He Yun looked up to him too much.

He said that 8,000 yuan was enough to cover his salary for a year and a half.

As you can imagine, he didn't really realize how valuable the copyright of his work was.

To be honest, He Yun couldn't bear this, and even felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

But then again, it's not that he is unwilling to pay a higher price to buy the adaptation rights, in fact, when he was in Jincheng, he agreed with Liu Cixin about an approximate price.

At that time, he directly offered a price of 30,000 yuan to buy the animation adaptation rights of this work.

But Liu Cixin refused on the spot.

He waved his hand again and again and said that 30,000 yuan was too high, and his works were not worth so much money at all.

Also, although I don't pay attention to any 10,000 yuan households now, in ordinary cities, 30,000 yuan can buy a house.

At this time, although Liu Cixin is a little famous, there is still a big gap compared with a great writer like He Yun.

He felt that he could buy a house by selling the adaptation rights of this work, which was simply a fantasy.

Therefore, he finally politely rejected the high price of 30,000 yuan proposed by He Yun, and only planned to accept 8,000 yuan.

You say you can blame He Yun for this!

Definitely can't be not!

.........

After winning the copyright of this science fiction work, He Yun received calls from several other science fiction writers, including Xinghe, Yang Yun, Wang Jinkang and others.

On the phone, they more or less expressed their willingness to sell the adaptation rights of their works to He Yun, and also said that the adaptation fee is not high, at most one or two thousand yuan.

In this regard, He Yun hesitated again and again, and finally refused.

The reason why he chose to refuse is not because the quality of these people's works is not good, on the contrary, the quality of the works of their group of science fiction writers is not to be said, and it can even be said that looking at the whole country, they are all top-notch existences.

But the problem is that if He Yun gets all of them at a low price, he will face them again in the future, not to mention his conscience, and more importantly, how to deal with them after winning the adaptation rights of these works.

Do you really want to stock it up and make it slowly in the future?

Or will you always be making sci-fi animations in the future?

You know, not every science fiction work is suitable for adaptation into animation works, and Yunyi Animation can't just do science fiction animation.

Therefore, He Yun finally did not agree to their request for the sale of adaptation rights.

Of course, not agreeing at this time does not mean that you will not agree in the future.

Since he promised to help at the meeting a few days ago, he won't break his promise.

He may choose to work with other companies, or wait until the future to take a better look at the animation of these sci-fi works.

However, what he didn't expect was that his refusal eventually caused misunderstanding among everyone.

It is precisely because of this that in the next few days, he was "tossed" by several phone calls from editor-in-chief Yang Xiao, Wu Yan and others, and he couldn't hold on.

For this reason, he had to count the number of interested science fiction writers and the corresponding science fiction works, and after talking to them one by one by phone or other means, he finally bought the animation adaptation rights of fifteen science fiction films.

These fifteen sci-fi films have been carefully selected by him, and they are more suitable for adaptation into sci-fi animation.

Of course, in the selection process, he naturally didn't call Wang Ruoyan together, after all, he knows animation better than He Yun.

As for the cost of the purchase, He Yun didn't pay much money, and he used more than 45,000 yuan in total.

To be honest, not much!

The average work is less than 3,000 yuan.

If this price is put in the future, it is unimaginable.

After buying the adaptation rights of these works, He Yun convened some members of the animation design team and made a detailed file for these works, temporarily wrote down some of everyone's adaptation ideas, sealed them together with the original works, and considered whether to produce them when the right opportunity came.

Wang Ruoyan was naturally puzzled by He Yun's operation, he couldn't help but look at He Yun and asked, "He Yun, why are you doing this?" If you bought the adaptation rights, why seal them up? ”

"Hey..... Isn't there no way I can't help it? Nowadays, how can we have the funds and personnel to make these animations! He Yun couldn't help but sigh lightly and explained to him.

At this moment, he regretted a little why he had to "brag" to everyone in person.

If the cowhide hadn't been blown so big, there would be no scene today.

"Uh......."

Regarding He Yun's answer, Wang Ruoyan was speechless, what else could he say.

..........

After entering 1996, He Yun could clearly feel the economic recovery, and the development of all parts of the motherland was more rapid.

And as the day of Xiangjiang's return is getting closer and closer, the chaos in Xiangjiang is becoming more obvious.

No, on this day, after He Yun had just finished revising the paper and handed it over to Professor Liu for review, he suddenly received a call from the Special Administrative Region.

The call was made by Zhang Lai.

He said on the phone that they wanted to completely buy the broadcast rights of "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire", which was filmed in cooperation with Xiangjiang TVB, and even planned to buy the production rights of He Yun's later works.

Moreover, through Zhang Lai's analysis, he said that TVB should want to continue filming several sequels of "The Rise of the Great Qin Empire".

Obviously, the extremely high ratings of this TV series have made TVB attach great importance to it, so much so that it does not hesitate to buy out the production rights.

You must know that there was a contract between Yunyi Film and Television and TVB before, and if the sequel is filmed, the two parties must cooperate in filming, at least one of the producers.

But now, people want to buy the production rights completely, and the meaning is already obvious.

I just want to leave you out of play!

If it were another company, He Yun wouldn't have paid attention to it at all.

But in the face of the high price they offered, He Yun hesitated again.

It's not that he personally likes this money, but the Yunyi Film and Television under his name is really inseparable from this money.

It turned out that as Yunyi Film and Television gradually got on the right track, the company's expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and He Yun planned to build a huge team of screenwriters, so the shortage of funds was naturally getting higher and higher, and most of the money he earned from other sources, such as manuscript fees, was invested in this company.

Although he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, and he still owns several properties, which are even worth more than a billion in the future, these are not worth much now, and he will not be stupid to sell them.

"What to do?"

These two words popped up in He Yun's mind.

Hesitating, he finally had to give in to reality.

He instructed Mr. Jang to sell the production rights to TVB, but he had to sign a supplementary agreement that would lapse if they didn't make it within six years.

In other words, there is a time limit for this production right, and the purpose is to be able to recover this production right in the future.

After all, this is his own work, and if he puts it in the hands of others to develop IP, he is still the one who suffers.

Regarding He Yun's request, Zhang Lai hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed.

Soon, on the second day, Zhang Lai told He Yun a good news, and TVB agreed.

And Yunyi Film and Television can also get 1.3 million from it.

This money, to be honest, is a lot of income for Yunyi Film and Television.

Although Yunyi Film and Television still has a production plan for one movie and two TV series this year, according to Zhang Lai's estimates, at most it will be able to earn back one or two million.

If you don't get it right, it's good not to lose money.

After all, the current film and television environment is like this, if you want to really make money, you have to rely on movies, and they are commercial films that can make money, not some literary films.

That's right!

In the past two years, although Yunyi Film and Television has also produced several movies, they are all literary films, and they have not made any money at all, at most, they have gained some experience and lessons.

If you want to say it's worth it, it's really worth it, if you want to say it's not worth it, it's not worth it, because before and after, He Yun has injected millions of dollars into the company.

With so much money, you can buy several houses, and buying a house in the Special Zone at this time is the best choice for future appreciation.

But He Yun didn't do this, in her opinion, as long as the money is enough, what's the use of making so much money.

All right!

He Yun is indeed a bit Versailles.

But that's what he's pursuing, and it's never changed.

It's far away, it's far away, or it's back to the present.

For the adaptation and production of film and television, He Yun only cares about the two major issues of script and screenwriter training, and he basically leaves the rest to professionals like Zhang Lai.

The reason for this is because he has always believed in a truth, the layman should not easily guide the insider.

.........

At the end of January, the weather in Kyoto is still immersed in snow and ice.

School is also out for the holidays.

What makes He Yun worthy of celebration is that his previous paper finally passed the review of Professor Liu, and he was recommended to an academic journal as a recommender.

As for the outcome, he is more confident.

After all, his academic standards are not covered.

In the evening, the courtyard.

He Yun sat with the family and ate dinner.

During the meal, chatting and chatting, the sixth sister He Xiaolian was involved in Kyoto TV's animation project "Zodiac".

After more than half a year of preparation, TV Kyoto finally gave up on the animation project.

The reason is very simple, they find that they can't compare to the Modu Art Film Studio after all.

Don't look at the fact that the studio is going downhill now, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and they are still able to make excellent animations.

Moreover, Kyoto TV also found that not only is the animation production department of the big brother CCTV working hard to improve its production level, but also various private animation companies have been established one after another.

For example, in Kyoto, there are several, as well as Yuhang, Modu, and Special Economic Zone.

And, of course, Yunyi Animation.

With so many production units and companies joining in, TV Kyoto found itself as if it had no advantage.

Therefore, many leaders feel that continuing to produce is a waste of Taiwan's funds and a lot of manpower and material resources.

Rather than this, it is better not to shoot, and even in the future, to shoot as little as possible.

Although there is no one to lay off the animation production department, this is a bad signal.

So much so that He Xiaolian was secretly worried.

Indeed, if the animation project is reduced or the direct department is abolished, this will undoubtedly be a huge blow to He Xiaolian.

It is precisely because of this that He Xiaolian put all her hopes on He Yun.

He Yun didn't expect things to turn out like this at this time.

After thinking about it, there was no good way.

In fact, He Yun didn't know that with the development of the economy, the original planned economy began to be less and less suitable for the era of market economy.

Many systems and units will also be reformed.

The wave of layoffs will once again usher in a peak moment.

Especially at the end of this century, many units and factories will usher in great changes.

Of course, all this is not obvious to He Yun, a writer and university professor.

After all, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to resign, Kyoto Normal University will not quit him for the time being.

"Fourth brother, what should I do in the future? You have a word! At the dinner table, He Xiaolian looked at He Yun anxiously and continued.

"What to do? Are you a god when you are the fourth brother? Everything can help you out! Don't think about it so much now! Do your own thing, and wait until that day comes! ”

"And you're not too young, you can't always look at me in everything! You should have your own opinions and ideas. ”

When He Yun said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly and didn't say anything more.

And at this moment, the other people present heard He Yun's words, and they couldn't say anything more.

As for He Xiaolian herself, she also lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

And so it was, January 1996.

A few days later, He Yun's family and He Xiaolian also returned to their home in the countryside of Hunan Province to welcome the arrival of the Lunar New Year.

After a few days, the New Year has finally arrived.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, when the bell rang at twelve o'clock, He Yun couldn't help but sigh deeply and muttered, "Another year has passed!" ”
