Chapter 25 Film and Television Copyright

Zhehai.

Huashu Film and Television Marketing Department.

As the largest local film and TV drama production company in Zhejiang, it has just been successfully listed in the south, and intends to use this shareholder wind to strive to create a big hit drama, enhance the company's popularity, and increase the company's stock price.

"Xiao Wu, you are responsible for the copyright purchase of this book, Mr. Du ordered, don't mess up." Zhao Yipeng, director of the marketing department, put the plan in his hand next to Xiao Wu's computer, and said with a serious face.

Du is always the direct leader of their marketing department, and it is a matter of one sentence to let anyone get out.

"Brother Zhao, is there any requirement for the price ceiling?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously, he is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has been in the workplace for nearly ten years, knows the rules of survival, the big boss's affairs have to be put first, and he has to do it beautifully to have the opportunity to be promoted and raised.

"Although the physical book sales of this book are currently less than 150,000 copies, it has occupied the first place in the sales list for two consecutive months. Zhao Yipeng pondered for a moment, and then said slowly.

At the morning meeting, the director of the production department also said that this book covers multiple concepts of love, suspense, and time-travel, and has a fan base of the original work.

Xiao Wu nodded, indicating that he understood, and picked up the plan book, which said "I want to see you" on the cover.

……

"Hello, is it Mr. River Fish? I am a staff member of the film and television marketing department of Huashu Film and Television, and I want to confirm with you, is the film and television copyright of the book "I Want to See You" still in your hands? The person on the phone is Xiao Wu.

There was no class in the morning, Chen Heyu went to the library to code words as usual, and received a call from Huashu on the way back.

Film and television rights?

Chen Heyu was interested, and thought that after the sales exceeded 500,000 and there was a certain amount of popularity in the circle, no film and television companies would come to the door, but he didn't expect that it was only more than two months, and some people wanted to buy the copyright.

"Yes, the copyright is mine."

Chen Heyu hesitated slightly, after all, this book still has potential to be tapped, and the sales and popularity have not reached the peak, if it is sold now, there is a high probability that it will not sell at a price.

"That's good." Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, if the copyright was no longer there, his mission would have failed.

"Mr. Heyu, we are a first-class film and television drama production company in China, with sufficient experience and strong strength, if you sell us the copyright, we will definitely be able to shoot a drama ......that you are satisfied with," Xiao Wu said sincerely.

"Stop! What's the price? Chen Hayu interrupted him.

Xiao Wu was stunned, how is the river fish different from previous novel writers, generally authors are worried that their works will be sold, and when they encounter small companies that are not strong, under the guise of respecting the original party, they will make the TV series into a lump of dog food.

However, it doesn't matter if you get straight to the point, because as long as you negotiate the price, you will have a greater certainty.

"600,000 yuan, signed for five years, after expiration, Huashu reserves the right to renew first." Xiao Wu first threw out the price of the first version, leaving enough space for business, and he had a way out.

Chen Heyu frowned, he didn't know much about this industry, he had only heard of anyone who sold millions of copyrights to a book in his previous life, how could he come to himself and only give 600,000 yuan, who do he look down on?

"Sorry, I don't have any idea of selling the rights at this time." Chen Hayu bluntly refused.

"Eight hundred thousand." Xiao Wu is full of confidence, this price is looking at the whole country, and few companies are willing to pay this price, especially a novel that has just been released for two months, and the operation risk is too high.

"Sorry, it's not about the price."

Chen Heyu pursed his lips, scolding the profiteers in his heart, thinking that the author of "Blowing the Lantern" sold IP worth hundreds of millions of yuan for 100,000 yuan, and it was not done by these unscrupulous IP dealers, who caused others to miss the opportunity to get rich overnight in vain.

"1 million, Mr. River Fish, this price is really not low, you must know that the copyright of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" is only 1 million, and the sales of that book are more than twice as many as yours." Xiao Wu was a little flustered, two consecutive offers, Heyu was very dissatisfied, if this matter was messed up, the director and Mr. Du could not explain, even if he kept his job, the future would probably not be easy.

immediately explained, moving out of Gu Man's novel copyright price.

"So low? You wait for me, I'll check. Chen Heyu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the film and television price in 2010 to be so cheap, you must know that "Why Sheng Xiaomo" is also a phenomenal TV series in the future, and it only sold 1 million.

opened Qiandu, and found the relevant announcement in the top news, it was really 1 million, Chen Heyu was a little helpless.

To sell or not to sell?

In terms of market value, 1 million is indeed the right price.

From his point of view, it is better to keep the copyright, wait for the funds to be sufficient in the future, and find a company to partner in the development in order to maximize the benefits.

So, after thinking about it, he decided to refuse first.

"I don't have the idea of selling it yet, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will give priority to your company." Chen Heyu said polite words and was about to hang up the phone.

"Mr. Heyu, what are your requirements, you can talk about it first, we try our best to meet it, and have great sincerity for this cooperation, Huaju......" Xiao Wu said earnestly, making the last effort.

Request?

Chen Heyu really didn't have any ideas for a while, but he just felt that the price of 1 million was a cheap sale, which was difficult to accept.

"In this way, if Huashu shoots a TV series, I need to have the right to suggest and reject the selection of the male and female protagonists, as well as the script, and I am willing to sell the TV series copyright of the book only if I agree to this condition."

Chen Heyu thought for a moment and left a difficult problem for the other party, the average film and television company will not agree to this condition at all, and to put it bluntly, he wants the other party to give up by himself.

"Okay, I'll communicate with the company first, and I'll contact you if there's any new information." Xiao Wu felt that this matter should be considered a mess, he didn't think that Director Zhao and Mr. Du agreed to this condition, so they could only hang up the phone politely first.

Chen Heyu doesn't care, if he can't agree to this condition, without his participation, can the drama "I Want to See You" regain the glory of the previous life?

A novel, thrown to ten directors, will definitely be made into ten completely different movies, for example, the popular cross-flow novel "The Best Family", after it was later made into a TV series, how many original parties can watch it?

Does it still have a half-dime relationship with the original book?

Therefore, if you don't make this million, there is no need to ruin a phenomenal TV series.

If the drama version is successful, the story will be put on the big screen in the future, and it will be able to make a lot of money, before the crossing, the film version of "I Want to See You" was released, and it still easily won 400 million box office after three years, in his opinion, if it weren't for Xu Guanghan's "Your Wedding" that consumed the enthusiasm of fans in advance, the box office of the film version would definitely be more than 400 million.

Put away the phone, Chen Heyu walked outside the school, and asked Luo Wenwen to have lunch together, recently, the two of them have invested a lot of energy and time in order to study the decoration, and they will make an appointment at a restaurant outside the school at noon every day, chatting while eating.

Although he was a freshman, he already had preparations before marriage, and when he thought of this, he unconsciously showed a happy smile on his face.
