Chapter 25 Film and Television Copyright

Zhehai.

Huace 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. It plans to use this shareholder style to create a hit drama, increase the company's reputation, and increase the company's stock price.

"Xiao Wu, you are responsible for following up on the copyright purchase of this book. Don't mess up what Mr. Du ordered." Marketing Director Zhao Yipeng put the proposal book in his hand next to Xiao Wu's computer with a serious expression.

warned.

Mr. Du is the direct leader of their marketing department, and he can tell anyone to get out with just one sentence.

"Brother Zhao, is there any requirement for a price ceiling?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously. He is in his early thirties and has been in the workplace for nearly ten years. He is well versed in the rules of survival. The big boss's affairs must come first.

, and you have to do it beautifully to have the opportunity for promotion and salary increase.

"Although the physical book sales of this book are currently less than 150,000, it has occupied the first place in the sales list for two consecutive months. Mr. Du is determined to win. I can give you 1 million rights. The specific price is up to you.

Be sure." Zhao Yipeng thought 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 book. If it is made into a TV series, it has great potential to become a hit.

Xiao Wu nodded, indicating that he understood, and picked up the plan, with "Want to See You" written on the cover.

…

"Hello, is this Mr. Heyu? I am a staff member of the marketing department of Huaxe Film and Television. I would like to confirm with you whether the film and television copyright of the book "Want to See You" is still in your hands?" The person on the phone is exactly

It's Xiao Wu.

There was no class in the morning, so Chen Heyu went to the library to code as usual. On the way back, he received a call from Huacin.

Film and television rights?

Chen Heyu became interested. He originally thought that after the sales exceeded 500,000 and it gained a certain popularity in the circle, film and television companies would come to him. Unexpectedly, in just over two months, someone wanted to buy the copyright.

"Yes, the copyright is in my hands."

Chen Heyu was a little hesitant. After all, this book still has potential to be tapped. Sales and popularity have not reached its peak. If it is sold now, it will most likely not be worth the price.

"That's good." Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If the copyright was no longer there, his mission would be considered a failure.

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

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

Xiao Wu was stunned, why is Heyu different from the previous novel writers? Most authors are worried about selling their works. When encountering a small company without strength, they will make a TV series into a piece of dog food under the guise of respecting the original work.

However, it doesn’t matter if you go straight to the topic, because as long as you negotiate the price, you will have greater confidence.

"600,000, signed for five years. After expiration, Huazhu reserves the right to prioritize renewal." Xiao Wu first offered the first price, and he had to leave enough room for business so that he could have a way out.

Chen Heyu frowned. He knew very little about this industry. In his previous life, he only heard that the copyright of a book by so-and-so was sold for millions. How could he be here and only pay 600,000? Who are he looking down on?

"Sorry, I have no idea of ​​selling the copyright yet." Chen Heyu refused bluntly.

"Eight hundred thousand." Xiao Wu was full of confidence. Looking at this price, few people across the country were willing to pay this price. Especially for a novel that had just been released two months ago, the operational risk was too high.

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

Chen Heyu curled his lips and cursed profiteers in his heart, thinking that the author of "Blowing Out the Lamp" sold an IP worth several hundred million for a hundred thousand yuan. It was not because of these unscrupulous IP dealers that others missed out on getting rich overnight.

opportunity.

"One million, Mr. Heyu, this price is really not low. You have to know that the copyright of "Why Shengxiao is Silent" is only 1 million, and the sales volume of that book is more than twice yours." Xiao Wu was a little flustered and continued

He Yu was very dissatisfied with the two quotes. If he messed up the matter, the director and Mr. Du would not be able to explain it. Even if he kept his job, his life would probably not be easy in the future.

Then he explained and moved out the copyright price of Gu Man's novel.

"So low? Wait for me, I'll check." Chen Heyu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the price of film and television production in 2010 was so cheap. You must know that "Why Shengxiaomo" is also a future phenomenon-level TV series, and it only sold 1 million

.

I 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?

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 sufficient funds in the future, and find a company to jointly develop it, so as to maximize the benefits.

So, he thought about it and decided to refuse first.

"I have no idea of ​​selling yet. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will give priority to your company." Chen Heyu said politely and was about to hang up the phone.

"Mr. Heyu, if you have any requirements, you can tell us first. We will try our best to meet them. We are extremely sincere about this cooperation..." Xiao Wu spoke sincerely and made his last effort.

Require?

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

"In this way, if Hua Ce shoots a TV series, I need to have the right to suggest and deny the choice of male and female protagonists, as well as the script. Only if I agree to this condition will I be willing to sell the TV series copyright of this book."

Chen Heyu thought for a moment and left a difficult problem for the other party. Generally, film and television companies would not agree to this condition. To put it bluntly, he wanted the other party to give up on his own.

"Okay, I will communicate with the company first and contact you if there is any new information." Xiao Wu felt that this matter should be considered a mess. He did not think that Director Zhao and General Manager Du agreed to this condition and could only

Hang up the phone politely first.

Chen Heyu doesn't care either. If he can't agree to this condition, without his participation, can the show "Want to See You" be able to regain the glory of its previous life?

If a novel is given to ten directors, it will definitely be made into ten completely different movies. For example, the time-travel novel "The Excellent Butler" that was popular all over the Internet was later made into a TV series. Several original authors were involved.

Can you stand it?

Is it even remotely related to the original work?

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

If the drama version is successful, the story will be brought to the big screen in the future, and a lot of money will be made. Before the time travel, the movie version of "Want to See You" was released, and it still easily won 400 million box office after three years. In his

It seems that if Xu Guanghan's "Your Wedding" hadn't consumed fans' enthusiasm in advance, the box office of the movie version would definitely have exceeded 400 million.

Putting away the phone, Chen Heyu walked towards the outside of the school and made an appointment with Luo Wenwen to have lunch together. Recently, the two of them had invested a lot of energy and time in studying decoration, and they would meet at a restaurant outside the school at noon every day.

Chat while eating.

Although he was a freshman, he had already made preparations for marriage. Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
