Zhang Panpan gradually realized that he had been talking to Yang Guang for a long time here, and as a director, he seemed to have been sprayed by him for a long time, and he was unhappy, and the matter of the "Three-Body Problem" project was getting farther and farther.

At this moment, Yang Guang suddenly pulled the topic back again, only to see him say: "I have two plans here, Director Zhang, you may want to consider it." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Panpan replied, "Please speak." ”

Yang Guang said in an orderly manner: "Since you are so determined to direct "The Three-Body Problem" in person, then let's sign a gambling agreement, and I, Yixing Media, will pull a few investors to come over and set up a new sci-fi project for you, with a cost budget of 200 million, and 100 million will be announced and distributed to you, that is, a total of 300 million projects, directed by you, if this project can finally reach a box office result of 10 billion and the reputation is not bad, then the project of "Three-Body Problem" will be handed over to you to do, do you dare to take it?" ”

The box office performance of 10 billion is compared with the investment cost of 3 billion, for the producer, it can only be said that it has just passed the original line, and the box office of more than 10 billion has begun to make real profits.

Zhang Panpan was also taken aback when he heard this, the production cost of 300 million yuan is definitely the ceiling-level cost budget of the mainland film market at the moment, and there is no higher budget than this.

Sure enough, backed by Qunxing Capital, it is wealthy!

After a while, Zhang Panpan couldn't help but ask: "What if you can't reach it?" ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "You owe me 300 million, it's not too much to hand over the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" as compensation, right?" ”

In fact, the loss of 300 million is not enough, at most the loss is about 100 million, and even if it can protect the capital without losing money, Yixing Media will not be stupid to invest in the whole movie exclusively, and it will definitely fool a few big injustices to come in and share the risk equally.

For other producers, the box office of the movie is divided into about one-third, but Yixing Media also has its own Yixing cinema line, most of which are directly operated cinemas, so a large part of the cinema chain also belongs to Yixing Media.

Maybe it can save the capital, unless it is said that this movie is really lost to grandma's family, and it can't even get a box office of 100 million.

Zhang Panpan didn't respond, and instead asked, "What about the second plan?" ”

Yang Guang, who was still smiling, said in an orderly manner: "This second one is the most simple and direct, I will open 50 million for you, the copyright belongs to me, you take the money to quit, and the copyright bought for 100,000 yuan will return 500 times a year. ”

Zhang Panpan couldn't help but fall silent.

The two plans given by Yixing Media, the former's VAM agreement is risky but high-yielding, if it succeeds, it will be fame and fortune, and since then it has become famous in the mainland film industry and has become a first-line science fiction director, but in case of pouncement, not only will there be no penny, but the copyright will have to be handed over.

And the second plan is the most stable and risk-free, take the money out directly, 100,000 yuan becomes a huge amount of 50 million a year, and the direct wealth is free.

At the end, Zhang Panpan looked at Yang Guang and said, "Mr. Yang, can you give me three days to think about it." ”

Yang Guang nodded neatly and said: "No problem, I'll give you an answer after thinking about it, but I want to remind you that looking at the entire film circle in the mainland, except for my Yixing Media who dares to play like this and has the money to play, there is absolutely no second company that will accompany you to play a big-budget sci-fi film." ”

The implication is that except for Yixing Media, you can't find a home.

Yang Guang added: "I hope you can give me a cautious answer after thinking about it, the degree of interest we are interested in the IP of "Three-Body Problem" has not been deliberately disguised to you, but it is not a big deal to have "Three-Body Problem". ”

After a short conversation, Zhang Panpan also left.

Walking out of the reception room, Yang Guang's assistant followed him and said, "Mr. Yang, which plan do you say he will choose?" ”

Yang Guangman didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter which one he chooses." ”

The assistant said: "What if he chooses the first option, really enlivens the project, and wins the VAM agreement?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang stopped and glanced sideways at his assistant, sneered and said lightly: "As long as he signs this gambling agreement, it means that he is out from that moment on, I have 10,000 ways for him to lose, and Yixing Media can get the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" at zero cost, I hope he can choose to get out of the game with money at a reasonable price, everyone is worry-free, hehe......"

In other words, if Zhang Panpan chooses the first plan to bet with Yixing Media, the film project fails but the company will not lose money, as long as Zhang Panpan's sci-fi project gets a box office result of about 500 million, Yixing Media's overall investment will not lose money, because there is a return to the theater line, and there are several investors to come over to share the cost equally.

But the box office was less than 100 million, and Zhang Panpan failed to gamble, and then he could only fulfill the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" to Yixing Media in accordance with the agreement.

And it is a separate project, no matter how bad the film made by Zhang Panpan, there is no need to worry about hurting the value of the IP of "Three-Body Problem".

At this time, Yang Guang looked at his watch and ordered: "Go and arrange a flight the day after tomorrow." ”

The assistant nodded, "Okay." ”

Yang Guang has a more important task, that is, to visit Da Liu in person, Cao Chenghui explained the important things of the big boss behind the scenes at this time, and went to the author of "The Three-Body Problem" to take 110 million copyright fees to directly package and buy the full copyright of all science fiction works under the author's name.

……

On Friday, August 27th, Meditation Villa.

"Over there at Yixing Media, the copyright boots you want to buy have landed." Tian Jiayi, who came back from the company, was reporting to Fang Hong on her daily work at the moment, and she continued: "Yesterday, Yang Guang led people to contact the author of the "Three-Body Problem" series, and it went very smoothly, and the two sides met in less than five minutes to negotiate. ”

When Yang Guang met with Da Liu, he didn't expect the executives of Yixing Media to come to see him, and finally confirmed that he was not a liar, but then when Yang Guang opened his mouth to buy the full copyright of all the works under his name for 110 million yuan, Da Liu was also stunned for a while.

And the 110 million astronomical copyright fee also includes "Three-Body Problem" and "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", which have been sold for 100,000 yuan, and 10 million yuan each, which he did not expect.

After reacting, Da Liu only asked, "You're not kidding?" ”

Yang Guang's answer was succinct: "No kidding. ”

After that, Da Liu agreed without hesitation, and it only took four minutes of communication time for the whole process, less than five minutes.

"The Three-Body Problem" can be sold for 100,000 yuan, and Yixing Media really can't find any reason to bargain at a sky-high price of 110 million yuan.

Although Da Liu is doing decent work in the power plant under the Yangqi Power Group, his job is also stable, and he is also an engineer, he can fish for a long time at work, and he is very comfortable.

But the salary is not high, he is over 40 years old, his desire to buy a house in the provincial capital city is far away, from his 100,000 yuan to sell the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", you can get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

100,000 yuan is Da Liu's current salary for several years, and 110 million is a proper astronomical amount.

At the end, Tian Jiayi said: "The other is the copyright of "Three-Body Problem", Yixing Media gave two plans, and Zhang Panpan chose a gambling agreement. ”

Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and said leisurely: "Isn't it fragrant to take the money out directly?" If you have to toss blindly to the end, you have to rejoice in the air, don't do it, you have to return to zero. ”

Obviously, the historical trajectory of this part has changed again, and from the moment Zhang Panpan chose the gambling agreement, he was already destined to play lonely, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and the money was not obtained and the copyright was gone.

However, Fang Hong was not surprised at all, because of the original historical trajectory, Mr. Lin of You Zu met Director Zhang's needs, and invested 1.2 billion yuan to make 6 "Three-Body Problem" movies, each with a budget of 200 million yuan, directed by Director Zhang.

For a project of this level, 1200 million has to shoot 6 films, even if all the actors have zero salary, all the 1200 million is spent on special effects, and the budget of 120000000000 is only enough to shoot 2 films.

With a budget of 200 million, you can imagine what kind of disaster it will be.

In the original historical trajectory, Director Zhang had no experience in running large projects at all, and he did not have enough artistic ability to control the film.

As a result, the leaders came to the company to inspect with great interest, and looked at the "Three-Body Problem" sample by name, and after watching it, they were disappointed, and the "Three-Body Problem" project that cost a lot of money was abandoned, Mr. Lin was heartbroken, and finally the two dogs took the blame, and then renegotiated, and the result was that they spent 120 million yuan to buy the copyright from Director Zhang, and Director Zhang and his wife took the money out.

Director Zhang is crooked, he earned 120 million yuan with 100,000 yuan, not to mention, he also lost one or two hundred million yuan to Mr. Lin, and he was addicted to directing blockbusters.

Mr. Lin became a big wrongdoer, and then he was poisoned, lost money and died, and the bizarre plot of reality is more tortuous than the movie itself.

However, in Fang Hong's life, with the intervention of Yixing Media, it is probably impossible to appear, and it is impossible for Director Zhang to make more than 100 million after defeating Yixing Media.

But...... The bamboo basket is empty!

The project of "Three-Body Problem" is not in a hurry to start anyway, Yixing Media has time to play with Director Zhang, and Director Zhang is at most using the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" at the expense of directing science fiction movies, and realizes that he is not that material, and then it is gone, and he is out.

As for wanting to retire with more than 100 million? That's only in dreams.
