Wei Fan discovered the news immediately and forwarded the article to Fu Weng.
"Look, Pu Ding has started to operate!"
Fu Weng:Σ(°△ °|||)︴
"With this wave of public opinion, not only will his book sell well, but many film and television companies will also pay attention. If you really want to film it, you have to rush to grab the copyright..."
Fu Weng: "Fuck! What's so evil about this?"
"This is Pu Ding, what do you think?"
Fu Weng: "Farewell, I'm going to buy the copyright first!"
After Fu Weng ended the call with Wei Fan, he immediately called the Qidian Copyright Department.
"Okay, I have decided to buy the rights to the TV series "The Rogue Doctor". You can sign the contract."
Qidian Copyright Department: "80."
"???"
"What 80?"
Qidian Copyright Department: "Copyright fees have increased, with a minimum of 800,000 yuan."
Fu Weng:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"I'll go! What I just asked the day before yesterday was 600,000! Do you want it to be so dark?"
"Who told you not to buy it the day before yesterday?"
Fu Weng:(*゜ー゜*)
"Ruthless enough, just wait for you!"
Wait until I go to the sponsor dad to ask for money ~ 嘤嘤嘤!
Fu Weng just caught up with the producer of Penguin Film and Television, and could invest in him to shoot a rural-themed TV series to test the waters of Penguin Film and Television.
At this time, I was shocked to hear that he wanted to spend 800,000 yuan to buy a novel without adapting the script!
"Is your crew... worthy of it?"
Fu Weng is a director who makes small-budget rural dramas. The cost of a drama is only 1-2 million. Now he has to spend 800,000 to buy the copyright of a novel that has not been adapted into a script.
crazy!
It’s just crazy!
The producer of Penguin originally wanted to spend 2 million to create a small-cost TV series with rural themes to fill in the current TV series library and see if it is possible to make a big difference with a small amount. After all, there are very few TV series in this category, and they are all
It's an old TV series filmed many years ago.
In this way, you can make the best profit, and even if you lose, you won't lose much.
This copyright costs 800,000 yuan, and if two small screenwriters are hired to adapt it into a script, it will cost at least another 400,000 yuan.
"No, absolutely not. My highest expectation is only 500,000 yuan. If we can negotiate, we can negotiate. If we can't, forget it."
Fu Weng felt bitter in his heart, knowing that he would be despised for his status.
Put it into the budget of other blockbuster directors, 800,000? That’s a penny!
It’s not enough for people to buy the hot-searched ones!
Here, he will be choked by the producers.
If he were more ruthless and confident, he could learn from Wei Fan, pay for the film himself, and cooperate with Penguin Films to share the profits.
But he is 40 years old, and he is old and young, so he can’t let go.
At this age, what we fear most is accidents.
"That's right! The copyright of this book belongs to Qidian. How about you think of a way to get his copyright cheaper?"
The producer's face showed a look of arrogance: "Hey, tell me earlier, I can just ask for it from there! Just wait!"
"okay!"
The producer called the Qidian Copyright Department: "I am Zhou Ke, the producer of Penguin Pictures. I have drawn up a contract for the TV series copyright of "The Rogue Doctor" and transferred it to my name. The copyright fee is 200,000.
.”
With Zhou Ke's qualifications and reputation, Qidian Copyright Department will have many requests from him in the future.
Qidian Copyright Department: “80!”
"What 80?"
"The copyright fee is 800,000, which is the minimum standard. If you want to buy it, I suggest you do it quickly. Several people are already asking. If you hesitate for a while, we will raise the price again."
"I'm Zhou Ke!"
"It doesn't matter if you're a joker, the boss sets the price."
Zhou Ke: "..."
"It's over! You're done, just wait!"
He will never buy the IP of Qidian Chinese website again and let them pay to death!
Fu Weng received a message from Zhou Ke, saying that he could not get the copyright and asked him to find another script.
Fu Weng: (╬￣ Pan￣)convex
"Hey... who can use ordinary cucumbers after seeing thick black eggplants?"
Fu Weng was a little frustrated.
Then he received a strange phone call.
"Hello, I am the secretary of producer Yang Ming of Neiku Film and Television. May I ask... are you free recently? Are you interested in directing a rural-themed film and television work on our website?"
"Ah this!"
...
Pu Jie was wrapped up in his quilt and couldn't come out for a whole day.
He felt that he could no longer love.
Then I received a call from the Copyright Department the next day.
"Hello, Mr. Pu Dinglie, the director named Fu Weng is willing to spend 800,000 yuan to buy the copyright of your new book. If there are no problems on your side, you can sign the contract directly online."
Qidian Copyright Department said this with a boastful tone.
How about they work so hard to help authors make money?
Come on, praise me!
Pu Jie was silent for a moment.
"100!"
I'm dead anyway, and no one of you backstab monsters can have a good life!
"What 100?"
"The copyright fee is 1 million!"
Copyright Department: "..."
What stimulated this man?
It’s understandable that he wouldn’t sell it for 300,000 yuan. After all, the adaptation value of this book is higher. The copyright department helped raise the price to a low price of 600,000 yuan, and finally negotiated the TV series rights for 800,000 yuan.
It’s already pretty good!
Don’t forget the fact that you ordered 1,000 yuan each!
"How about you... think about it again, this price is quite suitable."
"Don't listen, don't listen!"
Pu Jie hung up the phone. Now he just wants to drag the world to destruction.
1 million is not much, the website will share half of it, tax will be deducted from the other part, and the system will save 99%.
I got more than 4,000 yuan.
"..."
Thinking of this, Pu Jie felt even more uncomfortable.
In his previous life, he never thought that he would feel uncomfortable because of his messy writing.
Suddenly, he could understand Mr. Ma who regretted creating Ali.
"It turns out that he is also a person with a cheating system..."
After tricking others, Pu Jie continued to huddle in his quilt and doubt his life.
And when Fu Weng heard that Qidian Copyright Department had raised the price, his nose almost became angry.
"Hey, hey, hey! Then you were talking about the 800,000 yuan copyright fee! Why has it changed again? Don't bully others!"
The copyright department said helplessly: "We at Qidian did agree to sell at this price, but the author didn't agree. He refused to sign. What should we do? How about... you learn from the previous one and bought it from Pu Ding
Director Wei Fan, who owns the copyright, go and talk to him yourself?"
"I...okay."
Fu Weng first told Neiku.com producer Yang Chao the news.
Yang Chao had already expected it: "I knew Pu Ding and saw this rural trend..."
Fu Weng: "???"
"Rural themes are an unstoppable trend. The author named Pu Ding must have seen this trend before he started the book, so he updated his book so quickly to show all the wonderful and rich stories.
, thereby getting a better price in the copyright market.”
"In the article written by the outrageous cat, we can only see half of Pu Ding's skills. He didn't see it... Pu Ding also laid out the film and television industry in this book. An author of his level can't write a book
Is it possible not to consider the adaptation market? It’s impossible! So the price of 1 million...has long been included in his calculations."
Fu Weng: "???"
"Director Fu, don't talk to Qidian. I'll let the company's IP operation team negotiate. In addition to the copyright for the series, I also want the movie rights!"
"I saw a movie about Ashu wandering around the village. The character was well-written and layered. It reminded me of when my grandfather and I lived in the village. There seemed to be such a fool in every village who had nothing to do and wandered around.
, being teased by others. Because being with fools can give normal people a sense of superiority, people also like these fools. They hand them cigarettes, invite them to drink, and jokingly call them Mr. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so...
.But how did he become a fool? I think this story will be very interesting to film."
Yang Chao feels that in the whole book, the character Ashu touches him the most, and he may have the opportunity to put this character on the big screen in the future.
Fu Weng nodded unconsciously: "There is such a fool in our village..."
Counting three generations up, they are all farmers. This sentence cannot be wrong!
Fu Weng no longer cares about copyright matters.
After a heated exchange of words between Yang Chao and Qidian's copyright department, they finally won the film and TV series rights to "The Rogue Doctor" for a total price of 2 million yuan, which was a buyout.
This kind of book, which is not particularly popular, is usually bought out. In the future, Neiku.com will take the content of this novel and film whatever it wants.
Of course, in terms of terms, there must be requirements for the word count and quality of Pu Jie's subsequent creations, and they must not be unfinished, etc...
After the negotiation is completed, Pu Jie will be notified.
Pu Jie: "Okay!"
There are actually 2 million!
Getting rich instantly is not just talk.
Pu Jie hates it!
I hate myself for not completing the task, otherwise all the money... would have been spent!
The royalties are so great!
After several days, both parties refined the details of the contract many times and Pu Jie signed.
Copyright transfer completed.
Fu Weng said with disgust to Wei: "It's really not what you expected. Pu Ding's operation... is so sharp! If I had known, I would have bought it for 600,000 yuan."
"Look, you didn't listen to me, you didn't seize the opportunity, and you were manipulated by Pu!"
"It doesn't matter, Neiku.com pays the bill anyway. If I have a chance, I really want to see your legendary junior brother. I feel like he is like a big boss behind the scenes... He is dressed in black, hiding in the darkness, revealing his fascinating face.
The eyes of the soul freely control people's hearts..."
