The richest man

Chapter 129 Take All Cologne Copyrights

"As soon as "Shanghai Bund" came out, who was really fighting for the top! This TV series is really wonderful. It once caused Hong Kong's crowds to empty out, causing everyone to watch TV dramas at home at night. This is unique in the history of Hong Kong! The screenwriter of "Shanghai Bund" Zhang Jun, worthy of his title of "Hong Kong's No. [-] screenwriter", is really awesome! The reason why "Shanghai Bund" is so successful is mainly due to the excellent script writing! Here, I admire Zhang Jun completely! !!" A well-known Hong Kong critic wrote in "Ming Pao".

After "Shanghai Beach" was broadcast, Zhang Jun's screenwriter became even more famous.

Countless people paid high prices to ask Zhang Jun to write a script for them, but it was hard to find a play, and Zhang Jun seldom wrote scripts for other companies.

Phoenix TV.

Huang Xizhao said to many high-level TV stations: "Although "Shanghai Bund" is popular, everyone can't relax their vigilance. We will continue to work hard and create greater glories! The boss also wrote three scripts for us, namely "Heroes Huo "Yuan Jia", "Chen Zhen" and "Celestial Change". Everyone knows the ability of the boss as a screenwriter, so if there is no accident, these three TV series should be comparable to "Shanghai Bund". Therefore, when shooting these three TV series, we must Be very careful and don’t make any mistakes!”

"Yes!!!"

----

When Huang Xizhao and others were in a meeting, Zhang Jun was thinking about adding more popular TV series to Phoenix TV.

"Now, I have obtained the film and television adaptation rights of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. If I also obtain the film and television adaptation rights of Gu Long's novels, I will not have to worry about having no films to shoot." Zhang Jun muttered, his eyes could not help but brighten, I think this idea is really good.

Mastering the IP of Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts novels, why worry about ratings?It is enough to establish Phoenix TV's position as the number one throne in Hong Kong!
Zhang Jun immediately thought of Gu Long's "Legend of Chu Liuxiang". After this novel was adapted into a TV series, it became popular in Asia, especially in the Baodao area. Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Chu Liuxiang" set a record of 70% of the highest ratings in Baodao.

"Wen Jun has a white jade beauty, carved by wonderful hands, extremely beautiful, and I am so yearning for it. Tonight, Zizheng, when I step on the moon to get it, Jun Su Yada, I will not make me go back and forth in vain! Fuck, Chu Liuxiang wrote this In a word, it’s too f*cking to feel, decisively making it into a TV series!!!”

Zhang Jun couldn't help feeling a little excited.

He loves the character Chu Liuxiang very much, and he must buy the adaptation rights as soon as possible, otherwise he may be caught by tvb first!

Zhang Jun immediately picked up the phone and called Huang Xizhao's office.

Huang Xizhao just finished the meeting and returned to the office.

"Boss, what are your orders?" Huang Xizhao asked.

"Right now, send people to Baodao to buy Gu Long's film and television adaptation, and then start filming "Chu Liuxiang"! By the way, go to TVB and get Zheng Shaoqiu to play the role of Chu Liuxiang, and Zhao Yazhi to play Chu Liuxiang's confidante My confidant Su Rongrong."

"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away!" Huang Xizhao responded immediately.

"Well, that's it, I hung up the phone."

----

At this moment, the inside of TVB TV station can be described as devastated.

Jin Yong's martial arts drama, which has always been unfavorable, can't match "Shanghai Bund", everyone is downcast.

A young employee drooped his head and passed the door of Run Run Shaw's office.

The door was half closed, and Run Run Shaw's angry voice came from inside.

"Jin Yong's novels are not good, then go to Gu Long's novels, we must immediately make a good TV series to attack "Shanghai Bund"!!"

"Yes! I'll contact Gu Long immediately!"

Coincidentally, both TVB and Phoenix TV went to Gu Long to buy the adaptation rights.

If Zhang Jun knew the news, he would be glad that he ordered Huang Xizhao to buy Gu Long's novel adaptation rights in advance.

----

On the same day, Huang Xizhao sent people to Baodao and met with Gu Long.

Gu Long had two hobbies in his life: drinking and women.

But if you want to drink and meet women, of course you need to spend money.

In order to drink, make friends, and meet women, Gu Long is often penniless because it is easy to get rich. He writes something and immediately exchanges it for manuscript fees and squanders it.

This time he heard that Phoenix TV wanted to acquire the right to adapt his own novel, which made him very excited.

That night, Gu Long warmly received the people from Phoenix TV, and negotiated the price of the adaptation rights at the banquet.

Phoenix TV offered 500 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out the adaptation rights of all the works he has created so far, including film and television, games, comics, toys and so on.The number of works is about 40. Some works may not be well-known, but they also have certain value, it depends on how to dig.

For Gu Long, this amount of money is undoubtedly the biggest sum of money in his life, and he can squander it for many years.

In fact, at present, no one is willing to pay such a high price to buy all other copyrights of Gu Long's novels.

With Gu Long's reputation, the film and television adaptation rights of a novel are usually tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

If the TV station needs it, it only needs to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy the copyright from him.

Therefore, Gu Long wanted to get 500 million Hong Kong dollars, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Of course, it is precisely because Gu Long is extremely short of money, likes to drink and pick up girls, spends money like water, and is drunk today when he has wine, and does not value the long-term future benefits of copyright.That's why Zhang Jun proposed this method.Buy out all the adaptation rights of his novels at once.

It can't be said that Gu Long's eyes are wide open and short-sighted when he sees money, but the money given is too much, and he is sure to hit every hit, which directly moved him.

The next morning, after he sobered up, he signed a contract with the representative of Phoenix TV.

Just after the contract was signed, TVB came to the door and expressed their willingness to spend 3 Hong Kong dollars to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "Chu Liuxiang".

"I'm sorry, you guys are late, the film and television adaptation rights of all the novels I wrote have already been sold to Phoenix TV..."

The tvb representative was stunned when he heard this. This Phoenix TV station is too exaggerated. It actually bought all of Gu Long's novels. How should I go back to deal with business...

The tvb representative could only return to Hong Kong in despair.

When Shao Yizhen, Li Xiaohe and others heard the news, they felt that Zhang Jun was a lunatic and a fool. They spent a huge sum of 500 million yuan to purchase the copyrights of so many novels, and they were useless at all.

On Zhang Jun's side, when he learned that Phoenix TV had won the rights to adapt so many novels by Gu Long, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"Fortunately, Gu Long likes to drink and date women, and he spends money without restraint. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to get so many copyrights!"

At noon that day, Zhang Jun called all the heads of Phoenix TV, DreamWorks, Legendary Comic Group, and Legendary Toys to a meeting...
