Chapter 174 Don't let the fat and water flow into outsiders' fields?
A group of people with different ideas entered the large conference room, and Li Wenrui also stayed. After taking their seats, the negotiation began.
"Well, first of all, thank you for your recognition of my work. Before we talk, let me share my thoughts."
The negotiators from the major gaming giants were still thinking about how to speak, but Ye Zhiqiu spoke first.
Everyone's eyes turned to the protagonist in the conference room. Ye Zhiqiu said calmly: "The game license of "Zhu Xian" does not require a buyout, and must include a share-sharing clause."
"This is my bottom line. I agree with it in advance so as not to waste everyone's time. Let's talk about the rest later."
After saying these words, many negotiators suddenly widened their eyes, and Li Wenrui on the side was also extremely surprised.
Very strong and confident!
You should know that if there is generally a dividend clause, the contract price will inevitably be lower than the buyout price.
For example, if someone buys it out directly and gives you 5 million, and adds a dividend clause, the price may be only 1 million. After all, if you make money in the future, you will have to share it with you.
Although Li Wenrui is not an industry insider, he understands that this principle is similar to that of making movies.
After the game company obtains the IP authorization, it still needs to carry out a series of follow-up actions such as development, promotion, optimization and updates, etc. The investment is huge, and more importantly, the developed game is not necessarily guaranteed to be popular.
If the game of the same name "Zhu Xian" eventually hits the market, the money Ye Zhiqiu gets is far less than the buyout income. This possibility is not impossible.
Whether to settle for safety or take a gamble, Ye Zhiqiu gave his own answer.
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu said these words, it directly disrupted many companies' original plans, but giving up was impossible.
In the eyes of this group of professionals, the novel "Zhu Xian" is perfect for adapting into a game!
The sword flying, various spells, and monsters in the book are all full of highlights.
There is also the terrifying reader base of "Zhu Xian", almost all of which are the target age group of online games.
Of course, these smart game companies have done preliminary market research, and finally came to the conclusion that the question of developing this game is not whether it will make money, but how much money it will make.
At the beginning, each company was still hiding it and only made tentative offers.
Then, Penguin Games stopped installing it, flipped the table and doubled the price. Companies such as NetBill and Giant stopped working after seeing it. Several giants were furious.
In the end, Penguin Games, which still has deep pockets, won the "Zhu Xian" IP game license.
The price is 20 million plus proportional share!
This price stunned Li Wenrui who was watching.
Looking at the smiling face of the vice president of Penguin Games during the negotiation, he obviously felt that it was worth the money, and this is not the final price, plus the future profit sharing...
Even for a big shot like Li Wenrui, he felt that it refreshed his imagination a bit. It was so crazy!
On the spot, Ye Zhiqiu, Chengzi Reading, and Penguin Games signed a contract. There was an episode in the middle. Penguin Games proposed that two songs sung by Yu Caiwei-"Three Lives and Seven Worlds" and "Waiting Silence" would be used as games.
As for the soundtrack, Li Wenrui naturally readily agreed.
At the end of the process, Orange Reading Network and Penguin Games breathed a sigh of relief.
The vice president of Penguin Games shook hands with Ye Zhiqiu enthusiastically and started a family affair. The company Penguin and Ye Zhiqiu had some "friendship". During the semi-finals of "Sing a New Voice", Penguin Video was able to support Ye Zhiqiu.
Although everything is based on profit, this is the business world. The enemy of your enemy is your friend.
On that day, the news spread like wildfire that Ye Zhiqiu's "novel copyright" was sold for 20 million, and the artists in the Huahai Entertainment Building looked at Ye Zhiqiu with different eyes.
Damn it, do you want to show off like this? We are all singers, and we are all working hard to make announcements all day long, and you can get money just sitting in the company?!
The game license was sold at a good price, and everyone was happy. Shi Nuannuan and the executives of Chengzi Reading Network directly booked a hotel in Huahai to stay.
On the one hand, there are still some details that need to be finalized with Ye Zhiqiu. On the other hand, we also want to see if the film and television licensing of "Zhu Xian" can be settled in one go before going back.
However, Huahai Entertainment suddenly woke up and called all senior executives for a meeting overnight.
They don't understand online game development and so on, so they just watch the show.
But in terms of film and television, it’s my own business!
On the list of negotiating companies that are interested in turning "Zhu Xian" into a film and TV show, they are all friends! Even Yinghong Entertainment is included!!!
Huahai Entertainment's main business is music, and the film and television side has always been half-dead. In recent years, it has been trying to seek breakthroughs and has made a lot of efforts, but with little success.
Dong Peng is an example. A good actor has changed his career to become Ye Zhiqiu's agent.
However, such a huge IP as "Zhu Xian" is in the hands of its own artists. The film and television department of Huahai Entertainment did not make any move and almost let others take the lead.
It’s really off the mark!
Li Wenrui even wanted to kill people. Putting aside everything else during the meeting, his first decision was to demote the head of the film and television department, who was nearly sixty years old, to stay in the data room for retirement, and then promoted a young man.
After a lot of research, Huahai Entertainment came to the conclusion that the film and television version of "Zhu Xian" is an excellent opportunity for the company to break the business in this area, and it must be seized!
The next day, Ye Zhiqiu sat in the large conference room again, but the people across from him were all senior executives from Huahai Entertainment. They all looked at him with smiles, and the look in their eyes made Ye Zhiqiu feel scared.
"Well, Zhiqiu, I heard that you are planning to sell the film and television rights of "Zhu Xian"."
The newly appointed head of the film and television department is a middle-aged man in his early forties. Under Li Wenrui's burning eyes, he discussed with Ye Zhiqiu: "The company has plans to make a TV series recently, and we are worried about not being able to find a good script. You see.
, can you give priority to your own family?"
"Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields."
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqiu was stunned.
At this time, Li Wenrui had already spoken and said kindly: "Zhiqiu, no matter what other people offer, the price offered by the company will not be less. What do you think?"
Ye Zhiqiu did not agree immediately, but asked: "I would like to ask, if the film and television rights are purchased, how much money will the company be prepared to invest in this drama?"
The person in charge of the film and television department already knew this and replied: "'Zhu Xian' is a groundbreaking fairy tale novel. It will be the first fairy tale drama in the industry. No company has done it before."
"But the "Zhu Xian" novel is very popular and has a large fan base. We are not afraid that no one will watch it. We have roughly calculated that the production cost of the Xianxia drama is mainly in special effects and actors, as well as publicity. These three aspects
It’s the big head.”
"If we can get the copyright, the company is going to do something big this time and make a great turnaround in the film and television sector!"
"The total investment will not be less than 200 million!!"
The voice of the head of the film and television department was sonorous and powerful, and all the executives were full of fighting spirit.
Wow, that's awesome.
Ye Zhiqiu had no expression on his face and sighed secretly in his heart.
