China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 42 42. IP Adaptation Rights

Cao Yu felt that he had miscalculated, he really did not expect Yang Mi's acting skills to be so surprising.

It's just that this girl is too young, and her voice is different from what I imagined.

"How am I doing?"

Yang Mi looked at her boss's unbelievable expression, and felt complacent.

"good."

"Then let me play a role?"

"Let me think about it. Anyway, there is still some time before the shooting."

"Still thinking about it?"

Yang Mi can't help it, but the boss doesn't seem to be willing, so is it waiting for me to throw himself into his arms?

What are you doing?
"You go first, and I will definitely let you play. As for which role, we will talk about it later."

But he still didn't say it dead, Guo Furong is an extremely brilliant character in "Wulin Biography", and he must not play it badly.

Anyway, there are a lot of guest stars in "Wulin", even if she is not allowed to play Guo Furong, she can always play her cousin Guo Qiangwei, right?

After dismissing Yang Mi, Cao Yu inquired about the progress of the application for the filming permit, and planned to go back to the lounge to catch up on sleep, when his phone rang.

When I picked it up, it was a call from a stranger: "Cao Yu, right? I'm the manager of Tangren Film and Television. My surname is Liu. Director Zhang gave me your number. Are you free now?"

"Tang people?"

For people in the TV drama circle, this name is like a thunderbolt. Many hit TV dramas come from here. As a student of Nortel, Cao Yu's ears are numb when he hears it.

But this company, what do you want me to do?
"Yes, classmate Cao, your Duan Yu is portrayed very well, and you are an actor with great potential. Are you interested in coming to our Tang Dynasty for development?"

Hearing what the other party said, Cao Yu wanted to laugh a little. Do I need to sign with another company?

If it wasn't for his girlfriend who had already registered with this company, he wouldn't even bother to be the boss.

"Sorry, I don't intend to sign a contract yet, thank you for your kindness." Cao Yu immediately rejected the other party's invitation.

"Student Cao, you should know the strength of our Tang people in Nortel. Our resources are within the circle."

"I'm really sorry about it."

Cao Yu interrupted the other party before he finished speaking. Just as he was about to hang up, he suddenly remembered the script of "Immortal Sword" in his hand.

Wasn't "Sword of Heaven" originally filmed by the people of Tang Dynasty?Isn't it better to find the original owner to cooperate with than to find other people?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu, however, I have a script here, I think we can work together, please let Mr. Cai contact me when you have time, and I will talk to her."

"script?"

The one surnamed Liu was taken aback, he was just an agent, and the script aspect was not his authority.

"A costume fairy tale drama, if Mr. Cai is interested, tell her to contact me as soon as possible."

Cao Yu hung up the phone, but remained silent.

His original plan was to wait for the filming of "Wulin Biography" to recover some of the cost, and then look at how to invest in Immortal Sword. Since the original owner and the other party called, it would be better to talk first.

There are too few actors in my hands, and there is no suitable director, so it doesn't matter if I cooperate with Tang Ren once. Anyway, as long as I can make money and don't have to be too tired, why not do it?

But if you really want to cooperate, how do you cooperate?
"No, I almost forgot one thing! It's also thanks to Tang Ren calling, otherwise, Future He would be like them, and Future will be involved in lawsuits."

Cao Yu suddenly slapped his head, realizing that he almost made a fatal mistake.

The script of the "Sword of Heaven" TV series has been written, but what about the right to adapt it?That thing is still in the hands of other game companies.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly left the company and went to find Yang Shuxue.

"Immortal Sword One" is a stand-alone game. Yang Shuxue's company happens to have one of the distribution agents for this game CD. If you ask her for help, it may be easier to get the right to adapt it.

Cao Yu had been to Yang Shuxue's company several times, but the front desk knew him well and did not stop him.

"What did you do? How could the sales situation be so bad last month? It has dropped by fourteen points!"

As soon as he arrived at the door of Yang Shuxue's office, he saw his girlfriend scolding several subordinates.

Usually, Yang Shuxue was tender in front of Cao Yu, but it was really rare to see such a temper tantrum today.

"Mr. Yang, last month because many cities were affected by SARS, this is a normal phenomenon"

"I don't want to hear these useless reasons!"

Yang Shuxue's pretty face was gloomy, she patted the table heavily, and said, "According to your opinion, the sales situation will improve this month, but what about the performance? See for yourself!"

As he said that, he threw out a stack of documents on the table and fell directly on the bodies of several men.

"I didn't expect that my family, Shu Xue, has this side. Hehe, it's rare."

Outside the office, Cao Yu looked at it with great interest, feeling that his girlfriend, even if she was angry, was pretty.

Those subordinates were obsequious, and it took a while before they whispered: "Nowadays, many movies and TV shows can be found online, and Internet cafes can also watch them, so..."

"Then what do you mean, everyone should close the company and go home, don't you?"

"."

The heads of several subordinates were lowered even more, completely forced by Yang Shuxue's aura, all of them looked like grandsons.

Yang Shuxue looked at these people without saying a word, and sat back on the chair angrily.

Turning around, I found that my man was looking at me with a smile outside, and immediately calmed down a little, and said to the people in the office: "You guys go down first, have a meeting with some regional managers, and make a promotion plan as soon as possible. give it to me!"

"Yes"

Several people walked out of the office, saw Cao Yu sitting there, gave him a grateful look, and went back to their offices.

"Shu Xue, you look pretty when you're angry."

"I'm almost pissed off, isn't it beautiful?"

When Yang Shuxue was told this, her anger almost disappeared, and she asked, "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"I need your help with something."

Cao Yu closed the shutters in the office, then pulled Yang Shuxue up by himself, sat on the boss's chair by himself, and let the woman sit on his lap.

"Aren't you cooperating with Softstar? They have a game called "Sword of Immortal Sword". I am very interested and want to buy out their film and television adaptation rights. Please contact them for me."

"That's all? Or make a special trip?"

"I miss you a little bit."

"Then let's go home."

"You help me contact first, and if it's done, I'll reward you well later."

"I'm thinking about it now."

After finishing the shameless business, Yang Shuxue quickly contacted Baodao Daewoo Games through Softstar Company.

At this time, there was still no film and television adaptation of the game, so Cao Yu only spent less than 20, or NT$100 million, to successfully buy out the film and television adaptation rights of "Sword" [-] and [-].

And Daewoo also promised that when "Sword and Sword III" comes out, he will also sell the adaptation rights to Feiyu Entertainment.

With only 20 yuan, he won the permanent adaptation rights of this big IP. Cao Yu felt that this deal was really worth it.

As long as the right to adapt is in my own hands, no one else can use this theme to adapt film and television works, and I have fully grasped the initiative.

Even if I can't agree with the Tang people, when I have money, I can shoot whenever I want.

However, the price was that he was severely squeezed by Yang Shuxue.

"Husband, you told me before that the audio-visual industry would go downhill. I didn't believe it at the time. Now it seems that the trend has already begun. The Internet is simply terrible. There is everything."

In the evening, the two sat on the balcony, enjoying the evening breeze and chatting.

"What are your plans?"

"I've already bought some houses in Yanjing, but since real estate has such potential, I think it would be better if I build my own house?" Yang Shuxue looked into the distance, as if she was talking about something very easy.

"What? Real estate?"

But Cao Yu's heart was shocked suddenly. He really didn't expect that his woman was more powerful and ambitious than he imagined.
