The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 195 0195, super fans (1)

Yunfeng and Wang Defa got up and went to the meeting room.

As soon as he left the office, Wang Defa handed Yunfeng a folder and said, "Madman, this is the price estimated by the operation department for the authorization of the online drama and movie adaptation of "Release That Witch". .”

"Okay." Yunfeng opened the folder and glanced at it.

It says: "Let go of that witch" web drama and movie adaptation authorization, 400 million + 10% profit dividend.

He didn't ask how much the company paid for the copyrights of the books that the company went to Panda Chinese.com to discuss, but now considering the price, the three copyrights of a single book of online dramas, movies, and comics add up to at least one. More than 500 million.

Compared with the copyright fees of those popular online novels on the earth, which cost hundreds of millions, now that the cultural industry is developing on Blue Star, the adaptation of online novels has not yet started, and the copyrights of these popular online novels cannot be sold at high prices.

It’s more like 10 on Earth. I remember rumors that the copyright of Liu Cixin’s "Three-Body Problem" was sold for [-] yuan. In [-], the buyer changed hands and sold it for [-] million yuan.

It is precisely because Yunfeng has the memory of his previous life and has witnessed the development of cultural undertakings on the earth that he told Wang Defa and Ma Siyu that Legendary Copyright Company is not a second-hand dealer, but a copyright operator.

The copyright operation can be mainly divided into two modes.

1. One is group operation, such as Huaxia Panda Group, Penguin Entertainment and other large groups with complete industrial chains. Within these groups, various chains can interact and share resources, forming a closed loop, relying on their own resources A pan-entertainment ecosystem can be created.

2. The other is open operation. Most of the companies that adopt this development mode are growing companies whose internal industrial chain is not comprehensive enough, so they generally focus on several links in the full copyright development chain and cooperate with other companies. The companies cooperate to jointly carry out the development of full copyright, and each takes advantage of the platform to achieve a win-win situation.

but……

The legendary copyright company is just starting now, has not yet formed a scale, and does not have any industry, so the only option is cooperation.

Yunfeng and Wang Defa came to the conference room, and there were a woman and two men sitting in it, both were blond and blue-eyed.

Wang Defa put on a smiling face, and first introduced to Yunfeng: "These two are Mr. Alec and Ms. Arabella from SBC Company, and this is Mr. Mike."

Then, he introduced to the three foreigners: "This is Mr. Yun of our legendary copyright company. He is also the crossover king of the novelist and the cartoonist Chaoyun and Muyu."

When Yunfeng heard Wang Defa introduce himself like this, three black lines appeared on his forehead.

His current level of writing and painting is still far from the title of "home".

The three foreigners all stood up.

Yunfeng first shook hands with Alec and Arabella to say hello.

However, when he arrived at Mike, he suddenly hugged Yunfeng, and immediately apologized: "Please forgive my impolite behavior, Mr. Yun, I really like your novel "Let Go of That Witch" so much." .”

Yunfeng was really taken aback, but after hearing the explanation, he knew that he was a foreign book fan, so he smiled and said, "Hi, nice to meet you, thank you for your support."

It is good to speak Chinese all over the world, no need for translation, although he can speak English.

When Wang Defa saw Mike's expression of wanting to see Yunfeng very much yesterday, he guessed that he would be a book fan, and immediately said: "Let's sit down and talk."

After sitting down.

Mike still looked at Yunfeng intently, and said excitedly: "Mr. Yun has such a talent at a young age, the combination of magic and technology, relying on modern science and engineering knowledge and witch's magic ability to create technological products, this idea is really true. It's so amazing, "Let Go of That Witch" can be called a shocking work."

Yunfeng was so embarrassed by the praise, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Mike is over the award."

However, this Mike's staring eyes made him a little unnatural. I heard that same-sex marriages are allowed in England.

Yunfeng immediately entered the topic and said, "I listen to virtue..."

This is a cliché, and he quickly corrected it: "Mr. Wang said that the three of you want to buy the online drama and movie rights of "Let Go of That Witch"?"

Alec smiled and said, "Yes."

Arabella continued: "However, Mr. Wang said that your company uses authorization and does not directly sell copyrights."

Yunfeng nodded, and started to talk nonsense: "Think about it, if a novel with 300 to [-] million words is filmed according to the original plot, it will take at least hundreds of episodes, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive; Adaptation, reducing the number of episodes, then the original party will have opinions, and it will definitely have an impact if there is a commotion."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, and then said: "No matter what, there will be risks. Therefore, in order to help you reduce costs, our company has thought of a win-win approach."

Wang Defa was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and thought to himself: The lunatic is playing tricks on others, and returns the same set.

SBC has adapted several physical novels before, and there are indeed two situations mentioned by Yunfeng.

but……

They have never tried this kind of cooperation.

Acrylic asked: "Then, how do you charge for your company's authorization?"

Yunfeng smiled and said: "As far as "Let Go of That Witch" is concerned, online dramas and movies are authorized, 500 million + 15% profit dividend."

Wang Defa breathed a sigh of relief. He forgot to remind Yunfeng not to quote the reserve price at the beginning. Since it is a negotiation, there is a process of bargaining.

Upon hearing this, Arabella asked, "Is it an exclusive authorization? How many years is the term?"

Yunfeng replied: "It's an exclusive authorization with a period of three years."

According to the copyright authorization rules on Blue Star, ordinary authorization means that multiple people can shoot together, while exclusive authorization means that only one can shoot.

Arabella exchanged glances with Acrylic, and then said, "Sorry, we need to discuss it."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "Please go ahead, do you need us to avoid it?"

Arabella shook her head and said, "Thank you, you don't have to avoid it."

The two of them called Mike, and then started a quiet discussion in English.

Yunfeng blinked his eyes.

They don't think we don't understand English, so don't avoid it?

Indeed, since the rise of China in the 30s of the new century, Chinese has become a common language in the world, and there is no such subject as English in China. Like their children born in the 40s, unless they majored in English in university, they basically would not know it.

But Yunfeng is an exception, even if he didn't get the [Skill Language: Stand out from the crowd·Professional level], it is because the soul is from the earth, and he has passed CET-[-] in English, so he may not be able to speak very well, but he can hear it.

Wang Defa on the side couldn't understand, and the only English he knew was "Yes", "No", "Ok", and "Thank you".

Yunfeng listened quietly for a while, his expression didn't change much, but his heart changed a lot.

From their conversation, I learned that this Mike is actually an investor.

I drop well.

Book fans invest in the works of their favorite authors for film and television, and this kind of thing happened to them.

On Blue Star, are foreign book fans so "violent"?
To be honest, I was a little shocked.

After about five or six minutes, the discussion between the three of them ended.

You Mike said: "Mr. Yun, I really really like your book "Let Go of That Witch", and I really want to get the authorization to adapt it for web dramas and movies, but..."

After expressing his love again, he changed the subject and said, "After all, this is an investment, so I still have to listen to Alec and Arabella's advice, 400 million + 10% profit dividend."

In fact, Yunfeng had already heard the result.

The point they were arguing just now is that the authorization period is too short and the price is too high.

In fact, on Blue Star, the production efficiency of film and television dramas is high and the cycle is short. This is the best number of years based on a large amount of data analysis, and when it expires, the exclusive authorization is only withdrawn. If the filming is not finished, you can continue filming of.

And this price happened to be the price estimated by the operation department. However, Yunfeng did not reply directly, saying: "We also need to discuss it, please wait a moment."

Mike nodded with a smile.

Yunfeng and Wang Defa got up to a corner of the conference room.
