By the time Fu Lei came back, the transfer agreement for the film and television adaptation rights of "Step by Step" had already been signed.
When the agreement was brought over, Sun Quan had already signed and stamped it, so what Fu Lei brought back was one contract, and the other must have been left to the original author.
When the contract was handed to Sun Quan, Sun Quan flipped through it and found no problems. He nodded to Lei and praised: "Not bad! Well done! Keep working hard."
Fu Lei did not smile, but frowned, and asked with some concern: "Mr. Sun, we are not a film and television company. If we buy this adaptation right, will it be useful? Can it really be sold?"
Sun Quan casually put the contract into the drawer, lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, you can find a way to contact Tangren to see if this company is interested in the adaptation rights of this book. Let's give it a try!"
"Is this...is this okay?"
Fu Lei looked very unsure.
Sun Quan looked at her and nodded slightly, "Try it! You won't get pregnant if you try, right?"
Fu Lei: "..."
After being dumbfounded for a few seconds, she nodded, "Okay! Then I'll think of a way. I hope this company will be interested in our adaptation rights! By the way, has the Tang Dynasty you are talking about previously filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?
Which company is that?"
"Well, that's the one!"
"Okay, I get it."
…
Back in her office, Fu Lei pressed her temples with a headache and smiled bitterly. It was easy to spend money but hard to make money. She really felt this feeling now.
When she brought a check to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", she felt fine. The initiative was in her hands. When the author of the book met with her, he was also very polite and did not understand the terms of the contract.
Not picky, it can be said to be quite smooth.
But now it's her turn to sell the rights to adapt the book, and she's getting excited.
It would be okay if she had connections in this area, but the key was that she didn’t know anyone in the film and television industry. She went online to find the contact information of other companies, and then sold them the film and television adaptation rights of online novels?
No matter how she thought about it, she felt it was unreliable.
But what can she do? The boss asks her to do this, does she have a choice?
Sighing, she smiled bitterly and searched for Tang Ren's contact information on the computer.
Not to mention, the contact information of a regular company is really not difficult to find. She quickly found several numbers and emails. Of course, these are similar to customer service numbers. She wanted to find the contact information of powerful figures in Tang Dynasty directly from the Internet.
, she Fu Lei doesn’t have that kind of skill yet.
Fight! What if the blind cat hits a dead mouse?
With this idea in mind, Fu Lei picked up the phone on the table and started dialing. The dialing beeped several times. When she was about to finish dialing the number she just found online, Fu Lei's fingers suddenly stopped.
He frowned and said to himself: "No! The success rate of doing this is too low. You can't do it like this, you can't do it like this..."
Muttering, she suddenly put the phone back, leaned back in her chair, squinted her eyes, and began to think. After a while, she suddenly got up and left the office, and came to Sun Quan again.
"Mr. Sun, I would like to apply for a batch of business trip funds. I want to go on a business trip!"
After entering the door, she said so directly.
Sun Quan, who was typing, raised his fingers and looked up at her with doubts in his eyes, "Where do you want to go? How much money do you need?"
Fu Lei: "That's it, Mr. Sun! I think the success rate of just making a phone call to recommend copyright to others is too low. I want to go to the other company in person, try to meet their general manager, and then recommend it to them in person.
I plan to visit three or five film and television companies first. If it doesn’t work, I will think of a way back, or continue to visit a few more companies. I think the chance of success in face-to-face sales should be much higher!"
"oh?"
Sun Quan thoughtfully reached out to pick up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. The method Fu Lei just mentioned was spinning in his mind. He agreed with Fu Lei's analysis.
The success rate of face-to-face sales is indeed much higher than the success rate of telephone recommendation, that’s for sure.
He realized that he had gone astray before.
I feel that in the original time and space, Tang Dynasty bought the adaptation rights of this book and adapted it very successfully. In this time and space, now that the adaptation rights of this book are in his hands, Tang Dynasty will definitely come to him to buy it.
But nothing is certain in this world?
Don’t you hear it—cooked ducks can fly?
These days, the development of Internet literature has reached a certain stage. There are a number of Internet articles with good reputation on major Internet literature websites. In this life, he bought the adaptation rights of "Bu Bu Jingxin" in advance. Who can
Do you know if Tangren will choose to adapt other works?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was.
Everyone knows with his knees that after he bought the adaptation rights of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", if the Tang Dynasty wanted to buy it from him, they would have to pay a higher price.
And if Tangren buys the rights to adapt other popular and well-reputed works of female broadcasters, it will definitely be much cheaper.
Under this premise, will Tang Dynasty really insist on buying the rights to adapt "Bu Bu Jing Xin"?
Therefore, it is not possible to wait and see!
A positive sales attitude like Fu Lei's is desirable.
There are so many companies in the film and television industry now. Even if the Tang Dynasty doesn't want it, they can still sell it to other companies. Taking the initiative is better than waiting for the future.
"Mr. Sun, what do you think?"
Fu Lei asked.
Sun Quan nodded with a smile, "That's right! It's great that you have such enthusiasm! Okay, I agree. In this way, you can take Xu Qin with you, and you two will have someone to take care of you. When you meet with the company leaders, just say
Xu Qin is your assistant, don’t let others underestimate you! As for the funds, you can withdraw them from the studio’s account first! Just give me a breakdown of the expenses later!"
Fu Lei: "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Sun Quan: "When do you plan to leave?"
Fu Lei: "Let's go in two days! Several writers will apply for the job in these two days. When the interviews are over, I will leave!"
Sun Quan smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
…
New year and new atmosphere.
For any company that has some pursuits, after every New Year, it will hold several meetings to set a new goal for the new year, and then call on the whole company to work together to achieve that goal.
The same is true for Tang Ren Company.
No, at the recent company meeting, they set a new goal - to select another high-quality IP and adapt it into a TV series in the new year.
Why use the word "Zai"?
Because before this, Tangren chose the IP "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to adapt into two TV series.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" was previously an online game. A game was actually adapted into a TV series by them, and it became extremely popular. This naturally allowed them to try out the benefits of adaptation.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has been filmed and aired long ago.
The sequel "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" has also been filmed. Now the post-production is almost completed and the premiere is not far away.
Under such circumstances, Tangren naturally had to prepare new projects and could not let everyone in the company sit idle for a long time.
As one advertisement said: We do not produce water, we are just porters of nature.
The same is true for the Tang Dynasty. They are not interested in creating a script and then making it into a TV series.
To be precise, most domestic film and television companies currently like to find ready-made IP adaptations.
For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon" and other mature IPs have been released again and again.
Compared with those companies that like to fry leftovers, Tangren is very courageous and dares to try new things.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is an example.
In the original time and space, dramas such as "Bu Bu Jing Xin" are also examples.
Lan Yunhua is the manager of Tangren’s copyright department.
Because of the company's next major direction established at the conference after the year, she has been very busy recently. Not only has she assigned the big task of finding the next IP to her subordinates, but she herself has also been a little busy lately.
During the day, she has to sit in the office and review the pre-selected projects submitted to her by her subordinates. At night, she has to go out to entertain the heads of various large and small websites, as well as banquets with some well-known or unknown screenwriters.
To the general public, it is a secret that Tang Dynasty is currently selecting IPs for new dramas, and few people know about it.
But to people in a certain circle, the secret has long been made public.
For some well-informed people, even before this year, when the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was completed, they had expected that Tang Ren would be looking for a script for the next drama in the near future.
People with strength and action have long begun to find ways to promote the resources they have, such as the heads of copyright departments of various large and small online websites.
Some screenwriters who have been thinking about selling scripts all day are also trying every means, hoping to catch up with a senior executive of Tangren to sell the scripts they have.
Not only can he sell it for a fortune, but he can also expect that his fame will skyrocket after his script is made into a TV series by Tang Dynasty. From now on, his mother will no longer have to worry about losing his script.
Among them is the copyright manager of Jinjiang Novel Network.
Lan Yunhua picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Thinking of meeting the person in charge of Jinjiang Novel Network tonight, he smiled slightly.
I was really looking forward to it.
Because she has long heard that online novels have been very popular in recent years and there are many readers, so there should be a number of good quality novels published.
Jinjiang Novel Network is one of the major websites for girls’ online novels and ranks quite high.
So she has great expectations for tonight's meeting.
She hoped that she could gain something tonight and solve her biggest trouble recently.
For such a large novel website, there should be no shortage of good works with potential for adaptation, right?
She thought so in her heart.
Just then, the landline phone on her desk rang, and Lan Yunhua picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Manager Lan, two ladies came to my mother's front desk. They claimed to be from a studio called Xianyu. They said they had business to discuss with you. They insisted that I ask if you would like to see them? They are here.
Been here all afternoon."
"Say I don't have time!"
After Lan Yunhua finished speaking, she hung up the phone, looking a little impatient. In fact, there had been too many similar bullshit studios approaching her to sell scripts recently. She was still patient at first, but her patience gradually ran out.
