Chapter 190 Actually Selling Copyright?

Time flies, and it's June NO.30 at once.

"After five days of rest, it's time to start working again."

In Hangzhou, director Qian Beiqian stretched his waist. The filming of the TV series he directed was finished in the middle of the month, so he had a rare few days off.

As for the later publicity, when will it be released, this is not very urgent, especially the publicity, it is okay if he does not appear, anyway, it is a TV series, unlike a movie that needs to attract box office, the TV series has a long broadcast time, and there is time to brew and explode, and there is an assistant director Help him with chores.

"By the way, this book Met Yourself in the Past is really popular. It has an average order of 15! It has a high order of 50 to [-], and all channels of Qiwen are promoting this book, which is really scary."

Qian Bei exclaimed, compared to his rough understanding before, nothing happened during the holidays these few days, he specifically investigated the data of this book, really strong!
Among other things, the second position on the best-seller list contains a lot of gold. In fact, many people buy the copyrights of Wen’s books, except for those who have a clear goal from the beginning, otherwise they will definitely refer to the best-seller list. Best-selling best-selling, which means sales The quantity also represents the recognition of the book by paying readers.

"The number of people who have read this book on Qiwen has exceeded one million. Counting other channels, there should be 200 million. If only paying readers are counted, and Qiwen plus other channels, there should be more than 20 people who have read it from beginning to end. Finish the book."

Qian Bei thinks this result is good, and he can buy the copyright. In the future, if he makes a movie, with the support of those book fans and his own fans, the box office on the first day should be 500 million, not to mention [-] million!

"No, Qian Bei, you have to calm down! Make the TV series first, and then make a movie after the response is good. This way, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It is not a dream to have a box office of over [-] million."

I don't mention whether Qian Bei has big ambitions, but he definitely wants to make money. Except for people like Geng Jie who rely on simulators, few people would think that they have too much money.

Moreover, the box office of over [-] million is a great achievement, and there will never be more than [-] directors in Huaguo with a box office of over [-] million.

Don't look at the fact that there are quite a few movies with a box office of over [-] million. This is the result of years of accumulation. Some directors even directed three or four movies with a box office of over [-] million.

After Qian Bei made his decision, he planned to contact Wen and wanted to buy the copyright.

He wants to earn more in the past few years, and retire after a few years. He doesn't want to imagine some directors and actors who have not retired at a very old age. He plans to be more Buddhist and retire at the age of 45.

"Money is a good thing, but money is endless, and making money is for enjoyment. Spend a few more days with Yuanyuan (wife) and then start working."

Qian Bei has filmed many urban dramas and has his own understanding of life. He does not plan to continue to struggle at the age of 50.

Qian Bei didn't get a phone number from the copyright department, but the director also has his own circle, he doesn't know it but other directors do.

Five minutes later, he got the phone and started talking.

The people from Qiwen's copyright department fought with Qian Bei. They had long been prepared to sell the copyright of this book, and they had already prepared their speech skills.

To be precise, as long as the books that have been in the top five best-seller lists have not sold the copyright, they will be ready to speak, so that they can dominate when someone comes to buy the copyright.

The copyright department is more laid-back than other departments, but this department is very important, and they create a lot of profits for Qiwen.

So they don't fish all the time, but occasionally struggle, which is also their fun in their spare time.

Those who can enter the literature are at least undergraduates, and they are not ignorant, and they still have a lot of knowledge.

Someone from the copyright department communicated with Qian Bei, and someone notified the editor-in-chief, Umbrella.

Although the copyright department tried its best to wrestle with Qian Bei in order to gain more benefits, it was not them who made the final decision, but Umbrella.

certainly!It is not possible for Qiwen to sell copyrights every day, otherwise it would be too busy. The copyright to sell one book a day is too exaggerated, and one book a week is in line with the situation.

And not all of them are film and television adaptation rights, some are copyrights of animation, comics, and games.

As the editor-in-chief Umbrella arrived at the copyright department, the real negotiation began.

Umbrella: One-buy price, 1000 million, although the price is high, but the money can be exported

After hearing this, Director Qian sneered. He knew that it wasn't really asking for 1000 million, it was just a negotiating tool.

Qian Bei: That’s not how the lion opened its mouth. Has this book really reached tens of millions of copyright fees?
Umbrella: Director Qian, you have to know that this book has only been published for a few months, so it has the potential to be even higher
Umbrella is not afraid that Qian Bei will be scared away. He still knows the director Qian Bei. He is very good at filming urban dramas. He has never bought the copyright of a novel. This is the first time. Now it seems that he really likes this novel.

Qian Bei: Potential is potential, not strength, and the author is a new god, not an old master, let alone platinum. I think 200 million is appropriate

Umbrella: That’s not the case, it’s true that the flame in the furnace is the new god, but his strength is stronger than some platinum gods, so let’s do it!Let's take a step back from writing, 800 million

After 10 minutes of wrangling, both parties became a little impatient. The difference was that Qiwen was suddenly not in a hurry, or Umbrella was not in such a hurry.

Umbrella: Director Qian, you just said that you are chasing this book, so you also know that this book has two timelines, and you can completely adapt it into two movies and two TV series. You don’t lose money, the price is 700 million yuan, or you can buy the film adaptation rights or TV series adaptation rights separately

Umbrella was calm and composed. If it wasn't for Qian Bei who worked hard on his own and was the director of a big company, he would need at least 800 million yuan to agree.

After wrangling for a while, the price was finally set - 700 million, which was exactly the same as the price simulated by Geng Jie.

This price is not particularly high, but it is also considered to be of the upper class. The operation before starting the article was not in vain.

In fact, the effect of selling separately is not so good. After all, this book has not been fermented for several years like Da Zhetian, otherwise, the copyright fee would have to be doubled at least.

Next, wait for Umbrella to notify Qingtian, and then Qingtian notifies Geng Jie.

When Geng Jie agreed, he and Qian Bei set off for Shanghai to come to Qiwen headquarters to sign a contract together, so that Qian Bei could use the film and television adaptation rights of the book Met Yourself in the Past.

In fact, the copyrights of some divine books, film and television dramas and movies are sold separately. This is true for Zhu Xian, so is Da Zhe Tian, ​​and so is Dou Luo.

Some books are so popular, even if the filming after the adaptation is poor, relying on their feelings, they have won hundreds of millions of box office, and the director has also made a lot of money.

Although the director was criticized by book fans afterwards, those directors didn't care, as long as they could make money, they even dared to do it next time.

As long as you can make money, so what about making bad movies and selling your feelings, you can easily earn tens of millions, why not do it!

The so-called directors, except for a very small number of people who have pursuits, who are not rushing to make money, let alone directors, it should be said that the entire entertainment industry is like this.
