The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 195 0195, Super Fan (1)

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

As soon as he walked out of the office, Wang Defa handed Yunfeng a folder and said, "Crazy, this is the price estimated by the Operations Department for the licensing of the online drama and film adaptation of Release the Witch. Take a look at it when we discuss it later."

"Okay." Yunfeng opened the folder and took a look.

It says: The license for the web drama and film adaptation of "Release that Witch" is four million + 10% profit sharing.

He had not asked the company how much it had spent on the copyrights of the books it had negotiated with Panda Chinese Network, but considering the price now, the buyout of the copyrights of the online drama, movie, and comics alone would cost at least over 15 million.

Compared with the copyright fees of hundreds of millions for those popular online novels on Earth, the cultural industry on Blue Planet is still developing and the craze for online novel adaptations has not yet started, so the copyrights of these popular online novels cannot be sold at a very high price.

It was more like in the early 2000s on Earth. I remember there was a rumor that the copyright of Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" was sold for 100,000 yuan, but in 2018, the buyer sold it for 120 million yuan.

It is precisely because Yunfeng has the memories of his previous life and has witnessed the development of cultural undertakings on Earth that he told Wang Defa and Ma Siyu that the Legend Copyright Company is not a middleman but a copyright operator.

Copyright operations can be mainly divided into two modes.

1. One is group operation, such as China Panda Group, Penguin Entertainment and other large groups with complete industrial chains. Within these groups, each chain can interact and communicate with each other, share resources, and form a closed loop. Relying on their own resources, they can create a pan-entertainment ecosystem.

2. The other is open operation. Most of the companies that adopt this development model are growing companies whose internal industrial chains are not comprehensive enough. Therefore, they generally focus on several links in the full copyright development chain and cooperate with other companies to jointly carry out full copyright development, each leveraging the advantages of their platforms to achieve win-win results.

but……

Legend Copyright Company is just starting out now and has not yet reached a certain scale, nor does it have any industry, so the only option is cooperation.

Yunfeng and Wang Defa came to the conference room, where there was a woman and two men, all with blonde hair and blue eyes.

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

Then, he introduced the three foreigners, "This is Mr. Yun from our Legend Copyright Company. He is also a crossover novelist and cartoonist Chao Yun Mu Yu."

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

His current writing and painting level is still far from being considered “master”.

The three foreigners all stood up.

Yunfeng first shook hands and greeted Alex and Arabella.

However, when Mike came to him, he suddenly hugged Yunfeng and said apologetically: "Please forgive my rude behavior, Mr. Yun, I really like your novel "Release the Witch"."

Yunfeng was really shocked, but after listening to the explanation, he realized that it was a foreign book fan, so he smiled and said, "Hello, nice to meet you, thank you for your support."

The good thing is that Chinese is used all over the world, so there is no need for translation, even though he knows English.

Wang Defa saw Mike's expression yesterday, showing that he wanted to meet Yunfeng very much, so he guessed that he was a book fan, and said, "Let's sit down and talk."

After sitting down.

Mike still stared at Yunfeng, and said excitedly: "Mr. Yun is so talented at such a young age. The combination of magic and technology, relying on modern science and engineering knowledge combined with the witch's magical ability to create technological products, this idea is really amazing. Release the Witch can be called a masterpiece."

Yunfeng felt embarrassed by the compliment and said quickly, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Mike."

However, Mike's direct gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable. He heard that same-sex people can get married in England.

Yunfeng immediately got to the point and said, "I'll listen to De..."

This was a slip of the tongue, so he quickly corrected himself and said, "Boss Wang said that you three want to purchase the web series and movie rights for Release That Witch?"

Alec smiled and said, "Yes."

Arabella continued, "However, Mr. Wang said that your company adopts the licensing method and does not directly sell copyrights."

Yunfeng nodded and began to talk nonsense: "Think about it, if a novel of two to three million words is filmed according to the original plot, it will take at least hundreds or thousands of episodes, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. If the plot is adapted and the number of episodes is reduced, the original fans will have objections, and there will definitely be an impact if they make a fuss."

At this point, he paused deliberately before continuing: "No matter what, there will be risks, so in order to help you reduce costs, our company has come up with a win-win solution."

Wang Defa was stunned when he heard this, thinking: A madman can deceive people with all his tricks. SBC had adapted several real novels before, and the two situations Yunfeng mentioned did occur.

but……

They had never tried this kind of cooperation.

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

Yunfeng smiled and said, "For Release that Witch, the web series and movie licensing is five million plus 15% of the profit dividend."

Wang Defa breathed a sigh of relief. He forgot to remind Yunfeng not to quote the lowest price at the beginning. Since they were negotiating, there would be a process of bargaining.

When Arabella heard this, she asked, "Is it an exclusive license? And how many years is it for?"

Yunfeng replied: "It is an exclusive license for a period of three years."

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

Arabella exchanged glances with Acrylic, then said, "Excuse me, we need to discuss this."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "Please do as you please. Do you need us to step aside?"

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

The two of them called Mike and started discussing in a low voice in English.

Yunfeng blinked.

Did they think we didn't understand English so we shouldn't avoid them?

Indeed, since the rise of China in the 30s and Chinese becoming the world's universal language, there is no such subject as English in China. Children born in the 40s, for example, basically do not know English unless they major in English in college.

But Yunfeng is an exception. Even though he didn't get [Skill Language: Stand out from the crowd·Professional Level], because his soul came from Earth and he had passed the Level 4 English test, his spoken English might not be that good, but he could understand.

Wang Defa, who was standing by, couldn't understand anything. The only English words he knew were "Yes", "No", "Ok" and "Thank you".

Yunfeng listened for a while in silence, his expression didn't change much, but his heart changed drastically.

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

I drop well.

A book lover invests in the film and television adaptation of his favorite author's work, and this kind of thing actually happened to him.

On the blue planet, are foreign book fans so fierce?
To be honest, I was a bit shocked.

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

Mike said, "Mr. Yun, I really, really like your book Release the Witch, and I really want to get the rights to adapt it into a web series and a movie, but..."

After expressing his love once 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. Four million + 10% profit dividend."

Yunfeng had actually heard this result a long time ago.

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

In fact, on Blue Planet, the production of film and television dramas is highly efficient and has a short cycle. This is the optimal period determined by a large amount of data analysis. Moreover, when the period expires, only the exclusive authorization will be withdrawn. If the filming has not been completed, it can continue.

This price was exactly what the Operations Department estimated. However, Yunfeng did not respond directly. He said, "We also need to discuss this. Please wait a moment."

Mike smiled and nodded.

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