With a fucked-up mood, Sun Peng left Luo Tianwang's house.
Chen Feifei was naturally overjoyed. Although she lost an international producer, she got four more songs from Sun Peng. This is the meaning of what was lost and reaped in the east. Even Luo Cheng was very happy later. After all,
It would be good for him if the Queen of Heaven succeeds, and if Sun Peng is so generous, is he afraid that he won't have any good songs for him in the future?
Only Sun Peng himself felt a little heartbroken.
On the one hand, it will naturally take a long time to write the four songs, but on the other hand, I am also heartbroken that there are few songs missing from my personal collection!
We’ve already given you six good songs, so why keep the remaining four?
Give it your all!
Now Sun Peng just wants to see if the album he put together using ten earth classics can crush the so-called international producer Luca Thomas.
Yes, I'm talking about crushing!
There is no doubt at all whether Chen Feifei can beat Thomas and Wang Rui's combination Sun Peng. Even if she doesn't complete these four songs this time, Thomas has no chance of winning. But since this matter is related to him, and Chen Feifei's performance also makes
If Sun Peng is satisfied, he doesn't mind letting this sister experience the pleasure of crushing an opponent...
Sun Peng had already made up his mind when he called Feifei Chen to come.
Isn't it the privilege of a time traveler to do whatever they want? Otherwise, what's the point of just making money with the things in your head? Unless those songs are meant to rot in your stomach, wouldn't it be enough to give them early and late?
only……
"Sister, I'm very busy recently!"
When he returned home and saw his second sister coming to the door, Sun Peng said with a bitter look on his face: "I have to prepare a new animation, write a story for a new picture book, and write four more songs for Chen Tianhou... By the way, I forgot to tell you
You said, I just promised to write four more songs for Sister Feifei today, and the conditions are the same as last time... so I don’t have time!"
"Busy? No matter how busy you are, will you be as busy as me?"
Eyes widening, Sun Ya said angrily: "You kid, do you know what my life is like now? I usually have to work in a law firm, and I have to be responsible for handling all your novels, picture books, music and scripts... Oh
, and copyright! Do you know that I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a week? Look, look, look at the big dark circles under your sister’s eyes!”
Raising a pretty face, Sun Ya stretched her hand directly in front of her younger brother's eyes.
"Well..."
After staring at it carefully for a long time, Sun Peng said with a shy smile: "It's nothing, sister, you are still so beautiful, unparalleled, and your charm is still there... Ouch!"
Withdrawing her finger from tapping Sun Peng's head, Sun Ya bared her teeth and said, "I don't care, it's your business anyway. If you don't go, I'll give up!"
"No, I'll go, why don't I go?"
Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng sighed helplessly.
What’s all this!
How long have the brother-in-law, the second sister, and Golden Eagle Video been entangled with each other about the copyright of "Criminal Minds"? It hasn't been finalized yet, so they have to drag Sun Peng to talk about it one last time - he really can't figure it out.
What's the use of going?
He doesn’t understand the art of negotiation, so why should he be a mascot?
In fact, what Sun Peng is most afraid of is talking to people, because he knows that although he has lived for so many years, he basically hangs out in schools and hospitals. It is okay to talk a little, but it is easy to negotiate with real swords and guns.
You will be eaten to death if you agree to the other party's conditions in a daze. So the best way is to tell the second sister your requirements and conditions, and then let the professional talkers do it...
Isn't this great!
Seeing her brother's reluctant look, Sun Ya explained helplessly: "Xiaopeng, your sister is just your agent after all. In the eyes of others, she does not have the right to make the final decision. Some things still require your presence.
Even if you reject someone in the end, you have to say it yourself for it to count, right? And... I think the conditions offered by Golden Eagle Video this time are pretty good, so you can consider it."
Perhaps seeing Sun Peng's firm attitude, after a long period of wrangling, Cao Jialiang also understood that he might not be able to scare anyone. The most important thing is that the success of "The Two Prides" also brought a lot of pressure to him——
He was ordered by his superiors to win over Sun Peng.
Furthermore, Zhao Jinxiang already knew about the overseas TV station, so he would be really stupid if he pretended to be stupid again.
So he decided to take a step back. Golden Eagle Video finally stopped focusing on the full copyright, and instead focused on the domestic subsequent copyright. In order to completely solve this problem, Cao Jialiang also gave two solutions.
.
Either sell off the domestic copyright, or use the copyright to become a shareholder.
The former is the simplest. Golden Eagle Video invests a lump sum of money at one time to buy out all subsequent copyrights of "Criminal Minds" - of course, it is limited to domestic ones. Later, Sun Peng's scripts are paid per episode; the latter is a little more complicated, that is
Sun Peng took out the copyright and invested in it, and jointly established a company with Golden Eagle Video and Lao Zhao to specialize in producing "Criminal Minds".
Anyway, in one sentence, Golden Eagle Video does not want the copyright to be in the hands of Sun Peng alone anymore.
The show "Criminal Minds" is worth their efforts.
Several TV stations have quoted offers for second- or even third- and fourth-round broadcast rights, and "Criminal Minds" has been played online more than 1.8 billion times, making it one of Golden Eagle Video's best dramas at the beginning of the year. In addition, many foreign companies
Institutions have expressed strong interest, which made Golden Eagle Video see the huge potential of this drama.
They don't want to be in a passive situation like this one again.
This is the inevitable result of capital's pursuit of profit. There is nothing surprising. Zhao Jinxiang and Sun Ya also believe that they should agree to one of the plans. After all, no matter what aspects are considered, the subsequent filming of "Criminal Minds" cannot be separated from the support of Golden Eagle Video
, it would not be good for everyone if there was a falling out. Moreover, Golden Eagle Video only wants the copyright of the domestic version, which still leaves a huge space for Sun Peng's imagination...
After the second sister's explanation, Sun Peng also understood this, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Sister, which one do you prefer?"
"Well...it depends on how confident you are in "Criminal Minds"!"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Ya said seriously: "If you think "Criminal Minds" has great potential, it is definitely more suitable to invest in the copyright. And in order to get all the copyright this time, there are quite a lot of concessions there. I am willing to
I'll give you a 15% share. Only
However, the requirements of Golden Eagle Video for the network broadcast rights must be determined in the contract, and the buyout price will also fluctuate based on the on-demand volume of the previous season... As for the one-time sell-out, Golden Eagle Video has now sold 70 million, which is estimated to be very high.
It’s hard to talk about it any further.”
Just for the copyright alone, you can get 15%, which is really a good condition.
Moreover, regardless of whether it is a share purchase or a buyout, Sun Peng's screenwriter's fee is calculated separately, so after a short pause, Sun Ya continued: "According to my judgment and that of your brother-in-law, if "Criminal Minds" can be filmed into a fifth season...
No, maybe as long as the fourth season is filmed, it is enough. As long as the level of the first season is maintained, your share will be enough to be higher than 70 million. But if only three seasons are filmed, or the subsequent ratings and on-demand numbers drop...
…”
For Sun Ya, this is indeed a troubling question.
Even a professional Golden Eagle video evaluator would have a hard time judging what will happen two or three years from now, let alone a lay lawyer like her. The only thing she can do is to compare the current quotations of various TV stations and those from foreign countries during negotiations.
The TV station's offer was taken into account, and the one-time buyout price was negotiated to 70 million.
This means that they believe that the total profit of "Criminal Minds" can reach at least 500 million!
Five hundred million...
Secretly curling his lips, Sun Peng gave Golden Eagle Video a contemptuous look from afar!
If he were the little doctor who didn't know anything before, Sun Peng might still have opened his mouth and exclaimed, and then praised that a domestic drama earning 700 million is too exaggerated. But he knows that China's economy is more developed in this world.
The TV drama industry is more complete, and more attention is paid to genuine movies. There are many TV dramas that make as much money as Americans!
It’s common for American TV series to invest millions of dollars per episode, but it’s common for Chinese domestic dramas to invest tens of millions per episode, right? What level of profit should a TV series with an investment of hundreds of millions make? “Criminal Minds” again
How many seasons can be filmed?
Five hundred million? Are you looking down on others?
Although the ratings will definitely drop due to aesthetic fatigue in the future, but with the approach of "Criminal Minds", even considering the possible differences between the two worlds, there should be no problem in filming four or five seasons, right?
Therefore, the matter that the second sister was struggling with was not a problem at all for Sun Peng. He quickly smiled and said: "Okay, I understand. Please help me make an appointment. Then we will have a good talk with Manager Cao.
