"Mr. Gu, there is something wrong with the copyright of [Gu Jian Qi Tan] that you asked me to buy before." Gu Wei received a call from Zhao Mingcheng.

Since the establishment of the film and television company, Gu Wei has left the copyright acquisition to Zhao Mingcheng. After all, the film and television company will be fully responsible for the production of film and television dramas in the future.

Gu Wei's studio is responsible for his brokerage business and some personal matters.

Gu Wei frowned, "What's going on?"

He is still deeply impressed by this TV series that became a hit after it was released in 2014.

One TV series brings together many future A-list stars. Due to the popularity of this TV series, classmate Li He suddenly transformed from an 18-tier street kid to a hot traffic star.

It even later became one of the so-called "Four Big and Three Small", and [Gu Jian Qi Tan] contributed a lot.

"Shanghai Zhulong Information Technology Co., Ltd. does not want to simply sell film and television adaptation rights, they want to find film and television companies to cooperate in development.

At present, in addition to us, Huanrui Century is also in contact with them. "Manager Zhao said.

[Gu Jian Qi Tan] is a role-playing stand-alone game developed by Zhulong Company in 2010.

At the beginning of 2012, it won the honor of "Top Ten Most Popular Stand-alone Games in 2011" at the Domestic Game Industry Annual Conference.

Because there have been successful film and television adaptations of the "Sword and Fairy" series of games in the past, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is also considered a popular big IP in the industry.

"To what extent is copyright discussed now?" Gu Wei asked

"We and Huanrui Century are communicating with Zhulong, and Zhulong is also hesitant. It's just a matter of price.

Although our company has experience in investing in popular movies, Huanrui is incomparable to us in the field of TV series production.

It seems now that our copyright quotation is higher than that of Huanrui, but Huanrui's hardware is better than ours. "

Zhao Mingcheng hesitated and said again.

"Mr. Gu, I think Zhulong will most likely choose Huanrui in the end. If the TV series doesn't do well in the end, they will still lose money no matter how much copyright they give. They value the subsequent publicity effect more."

"Okay, I understand. Keep following me over there, don't give up, and wait for my news." After saying that, Gu Wei hung up the phone.

Gu Wei remembered that the production companies of "The Legend of Ancient Swords" were Huanrui Century and Guangguang Media in addition to Zhulong.

As early as August 2012, Enlight Media announced its investment in Huanrui Century, subscribed for 4.5 million shares of Huanrui Century, held 4.81% of the shares of Huanrui Century, and promised to invest huge amounts of money to purchase the TV series produced by the company. project.

It seems that [Gu Jian Qi Tan] is one of the cooperative projects.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Wei dialed the number of Wang Changtian of Guangguang Media.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Gu Wei."

"Gu Wei, how is the filming going? Is everything going well for the crew in Thailand?" Wang Changtian asked enthusiastically after receiving Gu Wei's call.

Wang Changtian has great enthusiasm for the movie "Tang Detective".

After the domestic launch press conference, I had a dinner with Gu Wei and others.

He tried his best to win over Gu Wei, Lu Yang and Chen Zhixi, and also asked Gu Wei if he should invest more. Gu Wei declined politely, saying that the new director did not have the confidence and was afraid that Mr. Wang would lose money if he invested too much.

"Everything went well with the movie. After all, with Producer Chen and Senior Brother Lu helping me, it was very easy for me as a director.

Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wang. "Gu Wei replied with a smile.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Gu Wei said

"Mr. Wang, it's like this. My company and Huanrui Century are interested in the film and television adaptation rights of a game at the same time, and we are currently in the competition stage.

I am thinking that instead of competing, it is better to cooperate in development. If we have money, we can make money together, and avoid competing with each other and letting others take advantage.

I heard that Guangguang is a partner of Huanrui Century. Mr. Wang, you are still a shareholder. Don't you want to find someone to make peace with it? "Gu Wei told Wang Changtian the whole story.

"Well~, this matter is not a trivial matter for Huanrui, I have heard about it recently. Originally, if Huanrui was successful in this project, Guangguang would also invest part of the money in it.

In that case, I'll communicate with Huanrui Century and tell them what you mean.

You wait for my call. "

Wang Changtian thought for a moment and said.

"Sorry, Mr. Wang."

The filming of the movie is proceeding step by step as planned.

The last scene of 'Axiang' has been filmed and Zeng Li has wrapped.

Although she is the heroine in name, Zeng Li's role is actually not as numerous and important as the two supporting roles of Xiao Pan and Chen He, who play an embellishing and connecting role in the entire movie.

The crew held a small wrap-up party to send off the heroine, and of course it was Gu Wei who suggested it.

Originally, Gu Wei and Zeng Li discussed whether they could return to China with the crew after the filming of the movie was completed, but Zeng Li did not agree. She thought that since the filming was over, staying on the crew would easily make people gossip, so it was better to return to China.

There was no other way, Gu Wei could only agree.

So he discussed with Producer Chen and held a small closing banquet, just for one table, with several directors from the production and directing team, Lu Yang and Chen Zhixi.

While saying farewell to Zeng Li, it also allowed her to get acquainted with these people, especially Producer Chen and Producer Lu, to increase her connections so that they could think of her for any suitable roles in the future.

After all, Zeng Li doesn't have a big brokerage company to back him up, and he doesn't have much resources, so it's still difficult to take on roles.

"Sister Li, after the movie is finished filming, I will definitely find you when I return to Beijing."

Gu Wei said reluctantly

Zeng Li didn't have much sadness about separation. He patted his strong chest gently and said to him with a smile.

"I'm waiting for you, my door is always open for you." After saying that, he turned and walked into the airport.

Two days later, good news came from Zhao Mingcheng.

Huanrui Century agreed to cooperate with Gu Wei's company Wei Tianxia to develop the film and television version of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

The reason is easy to understand.

The first is the face of Guangguang. After all, Guangguang is not only a shareholder of Huanrui Century, but also an important partner of them.

The second reason is also for risk considerations. After all, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is a Xianxia TV series with a large investment. The risk is not low, and one more partner can also share the risk.

The third is to avoid vicious competition that will lead to an increase in copyright fees and increase the cost of filming.

As a result, the planned TV series will be jointly produced by four companies: Huanrui Century, Enlight Media, Shanghai Zhulong and Weimingxia.

"Mr. Gu, although Huanrui has agreed, the specific investment share still needs to be negotiated. It is estimated that they will not give up too much.

Moreover, Huanrui proposed that the filming of the TV series should be controlled by them. "

"I want to play the male lead in [Gu Jian Qi Tan]. In exchange for the control, I can hand it over to them, and I can also make some concessions in terms of investment share.

Our company does not have contracted artists, and other roles including the heroine can give joy and light. "

"I understand, Mr. Gu.

The conditions we have given are already quite favorable, and I think Huanrui has no reason to refuse. "Zhao Mingcheng said confidently.
