I really want to hit the street

Chapter 265 One hundred million! (Down)

"Ahem! Let's officially start now. Today is the full copyright auction meeting for the novel "Infinite Time and Space". In principle, the price is the priority, and the opinions of the Qidian Copyright Department are the main ones, followed by the adaptation ability, the influence of the work, and the original author. Mr. Pu Dinglie’s wishes and other aspects will be considered comprehensively.”

Medegao introduced the opening remarks prepared in advance.

The general meaning is that the price will be given to the one with the highest price, but if there are other bonus points, you can also consider them.

According to the contract signed between the author and Qidian, copyright operation belongs to Qidian’s obligations and rights.

Pu Ding only has the right to make suggestions and dividends.

Of course, if the author really doesn’t want to sell, Qidian has no way to force the author to sign for the sale. However, if repeated negotiations are unsuccessful and malicious obstruction is made, Qidian can make an arbitrary decision and directly sign the contract, bypassing the author.

Therefore, this matter can be delayed for a while, but not forever.

Moreover, if the author wants to work in Qidian, he still needs to establish a good relationship with Qidian Copyright Department. Otherwise, what will happen if they stop operating your book in the future? I will freeze you directly and never sell this author’s copyright again.

Then isn’t the author stupid?

There’s no way someone would write a book and not intentionally want to sell the copyright, right?

Qidian has never seen it since operating copyright.

Not a single case!

There is an author who can sell the copyright of his work to ten thousand people, and he is not stupid.

After Medegao finished reading out the simple rules and opening remarks.

Major film and television companies can start to speak.

Come one by one according to the seats.

In fact, when placing the positions, McDermott was very careful and ranked the companies from small to large. This would make the prices look higher and higher, as if everyone is willing to spend more money to win the works, which makes it easier. Break through other people's psychological defenses.

The first person to speak was a rising star called ‘Good Monkey Pictures’.

The person who came was a somewhat ruffian man with a short hair.

"You guys, Qidian, are getting better and better at it. You haven't learned from our entertainment industry. You're quite skilled at using celebrities to raise salaries. To be honest, I don't object to doing something necessary to fight for your own interests." means, but I still want to tell you something. The adaptation of big IP is not necessarily based on money. It does not mean that which company gives more money or spends more money can make a good movie. ”

"You have seen the movies released by our Good Monkey Pictures in the past few years. The ratings and box office are all hits. Today I saw all the big guys here. I know that our prices may not be comparable to those of our predecessors. But our good monkeys are definitely more sincere than anyone else in filming the "Infinite Time and Space" movie series!"

"As long as the copyright of this book is given to us, there will be an unlimited series of movies every year, and it will not be a problem to build our country's movie universe!"

"Ju Pu, no, Editor Pu! You are also a screenwriter. How do you want your work to be presented on the big screen? A money-making traffic movie that everyone is clamoring for? Or a classic that can be passed down forever? You must be aware of it."

"So, for this bidding, we at Good Monkey Pictures are willing to pay 30 million to buy the full movie rights of "Infinite Time and Space". We only want the movie rights."

"hiss--"

Pu Jie took a breath of cold air.

Is this the weakest company here? ? ?

A direct price of 30 million for a movie copyright?

Still feel like you can’t win over others?

What the hell.

At this time, the person next to Good Monkey Pictures spoke.

"Hehehe~ Mr. Zhou joked again, you monkeys have made several good movies, but who hasn't made a few good movies? If I remember correctly, the "Cold Past" you released this year seems to be Did you pounce?"

Guangguang Film Industry, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and elegant, dressed like a lawyer.

Before, their company came to inquire about the copyright issues of "Infinite Time and Space", but was rejected by the copyright department.

Now, I am coming with the mentality that I will win, and I will not give in at all.

"We all have mature production capabilities. Don't talk about your dreams or pie-in-the-sky pie with others. Just tell us the price and that's it. We'll give you 40 million to buy the film rights of the novel. We'll suppress you!"

Next company: “45 million!”

Next company: "50 million!"

Pu Jie was frightened as he listened to their bidding, feeling that he could pass at any time.

Are you paying the royalties for my book?

You are trying to buy my life, Mr. Pu!

And these are just for buying movie rights, not other copyrights.

Medegao interrupted: "Ahem! Everyone, our book "Infinite Time and Space" can be divided into many parts, each with a movie world and sold separately. You can try to quote one movie at a time, for example. "Resident Evil 1".

Everyone: "."

There was silence for a moment.

"Shit! Your Qidian is getting darker and darker! The copyright of a novel is sold separately, right?"

"Unheard of, unheard of! Just to make some money, I don't have any shame!"

"Without the plot before and after, how can the feeling of the film be unified? Not to mention that there are sequels such as "Resident Evil 2" and "The Mummy 2" in this book. Do you want to buy another one? By the way, don't you? Will you also write the plots of "Resident Evil 3" and "The Mummy 3"?"

Pu Jie thought about what was in his mind.

“It really does”

Everyone: "Fuck! We can't separate them anymore!"

Otherwise, we would shoot "Resident Evil 1" by ourselves, while another company would shoot "Resident Evil 2", and another company would shoot "Resident Evil 3". This would be too stupid.

The biggest taboo when creating an IP is to change the company to shoot it.

Regardless of what Qidian's people say, the heads of the eight companies discussed it for a while and felt that this matter cannot be handled as Qidian said and must be taken down together. They can cooperate with multiple companies to shoot, transfer between companies, etc. , but the total copyright cannot be divided.

Otherwise it will be troublesome in the future.

Medgao had a toothache. He originally wanted to help sell it for a sky-high price, but it turned out to be unrealistic.

"Then you go ahead and apply. In addition to movie rights, there are also comics, animations, TV series, etc. you can talk about."

So there was another wave of confrontation between major companies.

Seeing this situation, Pu Jie knew that it was time for him to go!

They have to give up the idea of buying books at high prices.

"Ahem! Let me say a few words."

Everyone looked at the author Pu Ding, who had been silent.

Pu Jie said: "Actually, the movies in my book are not easy to shoot. The "Resident Evil" series requires a large number of zombies and a lot of special effects. The shooting costs are extremely high, and the production is also very difficult. It is not necessarily It can be shot well. In the same way, the same is true for "Alien". If the special effects are not done well, it will be like a child's play, and it will not be outstanding. Moreover, the world in my book has many foreign backgrounds, and the domestic acceptance is not good. It must be good."

"So, do you understand what I mean?"

The person in charge of Huayi nodded.

"understood."

Pu Jie was very happy. He knew that what I wrote was not easy to shoot. He hurried back and thought about it again. He calculated the cost and then looked at it. It would be best to postpone the settlement until this cycle.

Huayi person in charge: "Before Mr. Pu said it, I might have been a little hesitant about whether each of the movie worlds in it would be good to watch, but after Mr. Pu said it, I understood. As a screenwriter, he must have considered the movie world. The actual shooting problem, the difficulty, the special effects, and the plot will definitely be very effective!

In addition, it has a foreign background, which makes it convenient to win awards at foreign film festivals, screen in theaters in other countries, and have cultural output taken into consideration. I admire it!

So. I’ll add money!

80 million! I will win all the film copyrights at one price, including what you will write later. When the time comes, please give Mr. Pu your free advice on the script, and of course your retouching fee will be indispensable. "

Pu Jie: "???"

What the hell do you know about a hammer!

Grass!

Huayi directly raised the price to the top!

The highest price that web IP can achieve.

Other film companies were silent for a while, this price was beyond their affordability.

On the other side, Medegao opened his mouth in surprise.

Then he secretly said to Pu Jie: "It's still the God of Pu! In just a few words, he raised the price to this point. I admire him."

Pu Jie: "???"

"You are so stupid."

"Whatever."

"Tired, destroy it."
