However, although official business is important, today is also the opening ceremony of Hanhai Culture Studio.
Seeing that it was past ten o'clock, Li Qing was thinking that if he didn't hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony until the afternoon, all the people watching the fun might have run away!
Therefore, after obtaining the understanding of Wang Yong and others, Li Qing summoned all employees and gave a passionate speech at the scene.
However, the speech did not last long. It only took about a minute or two before it was announced to be over.
After all, the total number of employees present was less than ten. If it were like a meeting held by leaders in the People's Hall, it would be ridiculous and generous.
Later, at the invitation of Li Qing, Wang Yong, Jiang Zhongnan, Weng Zhiling, Zhou Shu and others, together with Li Qing, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for today's studio opening ceremony amidst a round of applause.
Wendi Zhao and Xie Sijie were completely ignored.
Later, Zhou Shu enthusiastically took Weng Zhiling and others on a polite tour of the studio, introduced the studio's scale and development direction, and looked forward to the opportunity for several companies on site to cooperate.
However, the faces of everyone present were obviously absent-minded. While dealing with the studio manager with a bright smile, people were secretly guessing in their hearts.
Will China Film Group and Hanhai Culture be collaborating on some big projects?
At the same time, Li Qing, Fang Haotian, Wang Yong and others were also sitting opposite each other in the conference room of the studio.
"Master Qinglian, you know the purpose of our visit this time. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the successful opening of your studio and your business is booming. Now, Master Qinglian, do you think we need to discuss the "Xun Qin Ji"
Film and television rights?”
As soon as he sat down, Shan Zhilei said impatiently.
As the direct person in charge of the copyright operation department of China Film Group, Shan Zhilei's trip has been approved and expected by the board of directors. He is under unprecedented pressure.
Shan Zhilei had heard the news from the Hong Kong Cultural Publishing House, and knew that the Master Qinglian in front of him had dared to ask for 10 million before "Looking for Qin" was released.
But now, "Xun Qin Ji" is a big hit. It is even more popular than expected, beyond everyone's prediction.
So now, I'm afraid that "Xun Qin Ji" will be even more expensive than the original asking price.
If that's the case, the copyright plan for this trip to the mainland may be declared aborted.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Director Wang from the Cultural Publishing House suddenly asked to meet the Qinglian Sword Immortal in person...
Moreover, at this juncture, he did not hesitate to bribe the Qinglian Sword Fairy with the copybook that Mr. Cha Liangyong had given him.
Li Qing smiled and said: "If the price is right, I will definitely take action. Don't worry, you guys. In fact, after learning about the background of your company, I am still very relieved about handing over the film and television copyrights to you. I believe
We at China Film Group will not make "The Story of Qin" too bad."
When Shan Zhilei heard this, he felt a little happy. He nodded and said: "That's natural. Our China Film Group is the largest film and television company in Hong Kong, and we have signed a strategic cooperation plan with Hong Kong Cable TV. In the past few years, the TV series launched by us
, more than 70% of them are logged on TVB TV station’s eight o’clock prime time..."
Looking at the passionate Shan Zhilei, Li Qing smiled and said, "So, how much can you quote?"
Shan Zhilei immediately stopped his voice and glanced at Wang Dong. Seeing that Wang Dong smiled naturally and said nothing, he gritted his teeth and took out a contract from the folder next to him: "This is
Master Qinglian, you can take a look at the contract drawn up by our company. Our quotation is very sincere. I think there may be very few companies in the industry that can quote such a price."
Li Qing took the contract and flipped it over casually. Without looking at it carefully, he handed the contract to Fang Haotian, who was more knowledgeable, and asked Fang Haotian to find out the unreasonable parts of the contract.
Seeing Li Qing's perfunctory attitude, Shan Zhilei felt nervous and said quickly: "We currently want to acquire the TV series adaptation copyright and the film adaptation copyright of "Looking for Qin Ji". We offer three million, you have to believe it.
This price is already at the level of adaptation by top writers in the industry, and is almost the same as the price of Mr. Cha Liangyong’s works.
As for the TV series copyright, the price we give you is 50,000 per episode. Based on the manuscripts you have submitted, we estimate that the entire TV series will be around thirty-five to forty-five episodes in total.
, that is, between 1.75 million and 2.25 million.”
Following Shan Zhilei's description, Li Qing nodded gently in agreement.
In fact, he barely has preliminary control over the prices of film and television adaptations on the current market, and he also knows that China Film Group is sincere and the prices offered are relatively reasonable.
If the price for the film and television rights was really 10 million, like the price I shouted out in order to refuse, then it would be really a fool's errand.
After a while, Fang Haotian checked all the terms of the contract and nodded to Li Qing, saying that there was no trap. Shan Zhilei's offer was basically consistent with the situation described in the contract.
After listening to Fang Haotian's report, Li Qing smiled, straightened up, and looked at Shan Zhilei: "I wonder if Mr. Shan checked the snail rankings just released in Taiwan before he came here."
When Shan Zhilei heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I saw it on the way here."
Li Qing nodded: "So, where does the novel "Looking for Qin" rank on the snail list?"
Being stared at by Li Qing, Shan Zhilei felt his heart tremble inexplicably, and answered honestly: ""Looking for Qin" is currently ranked first in the list of martial arts novels..."
"What's the overall ranking?" Li Qing asked.
"The overall list... No. 1." Shan Zhilei said with difficulty.
When Li Qing heard this, he was a little surprised in his heart.
Because he was in the mainland, he could not know the specific data of the snail list at the first time.
But listening to Shan Zhilei's words at this time made Li Qing a little stunned.
"Looking for Qin" can occupy the first place in the ranking of martial arts novels, which was something Li Qing could have expected.
After all, it can occupy the first place in the martial arts novel rankings on the Butterfly rental list for one month in a row. This obviously represents the popularity of "Xun Qin Ji".
But to be able to occupy the first place in the overall rankings is simply a heart-felt investment, which shocked Li Qing's heart.
How many copies of "Xun Qin Ji" were produced in one month?
At this moment, this question kept echoing in Li Qing's mind.
However, he did not immediately ask, but changed his words: "Have Mr. Cha Liangyong released any works recently? Or, where is his latest work ranked on the list?"
"Mr. Cha Liangyong wrote his last final work "The Gang of Beggars" ten years ago, which once occupied the top three on the list..."
As he spoke, Shan Zhilei came back to his senses.
Qinglian Sword Immortal is using Mr. Cha Liangyong’s record to increase his own worth!
In other words, he is not satisfied with the price he proposed for film and television adaptation copyrights!
This made Shan Zhilei suddenly feel nervous.
At this time, Wang Yong, who had been smiling and silent, spoke: "Master Qinglian..."
As soon as Li Qing heard this title, he sweated profusely and said quickly: "Farewell, Director Wang, just call me Li Qing."
Wang Yong paused for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Li Qing, I now have a plan. I think it is a common choice for both of us."
Shan Zhilei looked surprised. He had no prior knowledge of the plan suddenly announced by Director Wang at this time.
"Li Qing, you once mentioned the price of 10 million for film and television rights, right?" Wang Yong asked.
Li Qing was a little embarrassed: "I said that as a joke, I didn't even think about it at the time."
Wang Yong smiled and said: "I understand, after all, the value of "Xun Qin Ji" was not confirmed at that time. But now, since "Xun Qin Ji" can be ranked first on the snail list, it will naturally confirm and increase its value infinitely.
, then, the original quotation and the current quotation are naturally different."
"You're right." Li Qing nodded.
Wang Yong shook his head and smiled: "In fact, after careful consideration in recent times, I feel that for the adaptation rights of "Xun Qin Ji", although the price of 10 million is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable.
possible……"
Hearing these words, the conference room suddenly became silent.
Shan Zhilei's eyes widened almost instantly, his pupils flashing with shock.
Mr. Wang, what does this mean?
10 million for the film and television rights of "Looking for Qin"?
My God, for the price of 10 million, I can buy two TV series!
Director Wang is too willful!
Li Qing's expression seemed very surprised. After a pause, he asked with interest: "Can you continue to talk about it?"
"Ten million, I can give it, but I need to buy out the entire copyright, and the buyout period will be at least ten years." Wang Dong said calmly. (To be continued.)
