Chapter 67: The Ancient Sword

"Mr. Gu, you ordered you to let the copyright of the [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] you bought something go wrong." Gu Wei received a call from Zhao Mingcheng.

Since the establishment of the film and television company, Gu Wei has handed over the copyright acquisition to Zhao Mingcheng, after all, the film and television company will be fully responsible for the production of film and television dramas in the future.

Gu Wei's studio is in charge of his brokerage business and some personal affairs.

Gu Wei frowned, "What's the situation?" ”

He is still deeply impressed by this TV series that became popular after its release in 14 years.

A TV series gathers many first-line stars in the future, and Li He is also due to the popularity of this drama, from an 18-line small street to a hot traffic star.

and even later became one of the so-called 'four big and three small', and [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] contributed a lot.

"Shanghai Candle Dragon Information Technology Co., Ltd. does not want to simply sell film and television adaptation rights, they want to find film and television companies to cooperate in development.

At present, in addition to us, Huanrui Century is also in contact with them. Manager Zhao said.

[Ancient Sword Legend] is a role-playing stand-alone game developed by Candle Dragon Company in 2010.

At the beginning of 12 years, he won the honor of "Top Ten Most Popular Stand-alone Games of 2011" at the annual meeting of the domestic game industry.

Because there are successful cases of film and television adaptations of the [Fairy Sword] series of games in the past, [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] is also a popular big IP in the industry.

"What extent is copyright now?" Gu Wei asked

"We and Huanrui Century are communicating with Candle Dragon, and Candle Dragon is also hesitating, which is nothing more than a matter of price.

Although our company has a track record of investing in popular movies, Huanrui is incomparable to us in the field of TV drama production.

Now it seems that we are higher than Huanrui in terms of copyright quotation, but Huanrui's hardware is stronger than ours. ”

Zhao Mingcheng hesitated for a moment and said.

"Mr. Gu, I think there is a high probability that Candle Dragon will choose Huanrui in the end, if the TV series is not filmed well in the end, no matter how much copyright is given, they will still lose. They pay more attention to the follow-up publicity effect. ”

"Okay, I see. Over there, you continue to follow, don't give up, wait for my news. After speaking, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

Gu Wei remembered that the production companies of [Ancient Sword and Strange Tan] in the original time and space, in addition to Candle Dragon, were Huanrui Century and Light Media.

As early as August 2012, Guangguang Media announced its investment in Huanrui Century, subscribed for 4.5 million shares of Huanrui Century, held 4.81% of the equity of Huanrui Century, and promised to invest a huge amount of money to buy the TV series projects filmed by the company.

It seems that [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] is one of the cooperation projects.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Wei dialed the phone number of Wang Changtian of Light Media.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, I'm Gu Wei."

"Gu Wei, how is the movie going, everything is going well with the crew in Thailand, right?" Wang Changtian received Gu Wei's call and asked very enthusiastically.

For the movie "Tang Detective", Wang Changtian has great enthusiasm.

After the domestic start-up press conference, at a dinner with Gu Wei and several people.

He tried his best to win over Gu Wei, Lu Yang and Chen Zhixi, and also asked Gu Wei if he wanted to invest more, Gu Wei excused the rookie director with no confidence, and was afraid that Mr. Wang would lose too much, so he politely refused.

"Everything went smoothly in the movie, after all, with Producer Chen and Senior Brother Lu on the side, I was still very relaxed as a director.

I am tired of you, and you are always worried. Gu Wei replied with a smile.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Gu Wei said

"Mr. Wang, that's right, my company and Huanrui Century have taken a fancy to the film and television adaptation rights of a game at the same time, and they are now in the competition stage.

On my side, I thought that it would be better to cooperate in development than to compete, so that everyone can make money together, and also avoid competing with each other and letting others take advantage.

I heard that Guangguang is a partner of Huanrui Century, and Mr. Wang, you are still a shareholder, don't you want to find someone to make peace? Gu Wei told Wang Changtian what happened.

"Eh~, this matter is not a trivial matter on Huanrui's side, I have heard about it recently. Originally, if this project was completed by Huanrui, the light would also invest some money into it.

In that case, I'll communicate with Huanrui Century and tell them what you mean.

You wait for me to call. ”

Wang Changtian thought for a moment and said.

"Trouble Mr. Wang."

The filming of the film proceeded as planned.

After the filming of the last scene of 'Ah Xiang', Zeng Li was finished.

Although she is nominally the heroine, in fact, Zeng Li's role is not as many and important as the two supporting roles of Xiao Yan and Chen He, and plays an embellishment and tandem role in the whole movie.

The crew held a small finale banquet, which was regarded as a farewell to the heroine, of course, it was proposed by Gu Wei.

Originally, Gu Wei discussed with Zeng Li whether he could wait for the film to finish filming and return to China with the crew, but Zeng Li did not agree, she thought that since the filming was over, it would be easy to cause gossip in the crew, so it was better to return to China.

There was no way, Gu Wei could only agree.

So he discussed with Producer Chen and made a small finale banquet, just one table, several directors of the crew and director team, Lu Yang and Chen Zhixi.

While sending Zeng Li off, she also let her get acquainted with these people, especially Producer Chen and Producer Lu, to increase some contacts, and these two can think of her if they have any suitable roles in the future.

After all, Zeng Li doesn't have a big brokerage company as a backer, and he doesn't have any resources, so it's still difficult to take on the show.

Bangkok Airport

"Sister Li, when the movie is finished, I will definitely look for you when I return to Beijing."

Gu Wei said reluctantly

Zeng Li didn't have much sorrow, patted his strong chest lightly, and said to him with a smile

"I'll wait for you, my door is open for you at any time......" After speaking, he turned around and walked into the airport.

Two days later, there was good news from Zhao Mingcheng's side.

Huanrui Century agreed to cooperate with Gu Wei's company Wei Mingxia to develop the film and television of [Ancient Sword and Strange Tan].

The reason is understandable.

The first is to have the face of the light, after all, the light is not only the shareholder of Huanrui Century, but also their important partner.

The second is also for risk considerations, after all, [Ancient Sword Strange Tan] is a Xianxia TV series with a large investment, the risk is not low, and one more partner can also share the risk.

The third is to avoid vicious competition leading to an increase in copyright fees and the cost of filming.

In this way, the planned TV series will be jointly produced by Huanrui Century, Guangguang Media, Shanghai Candle Dragon and Weimingxia.

"Mr. Gu, although Huanrui agreed, the specific investment share still needs to be discussed, and it is estimated that they will not give too much.

Moreover, Huanrui proposed that the filming of the TV series needs to be controlled by them. ”

"I want to play the leading role of [Ancient Sword and Strange Tan], as an exchange for the main control can be handed over to them, and some concessions can be made in terms of investment shares.

Our company has not signed an artist, and other characters, including the heroine, can give Huanrui and light. ”

"Understood, Mr. Gu.

The conditions we gave are already quite superior, and I think there is no reason for Huanrui to refuse. Zhao Mingcheng said confidently.
