If Dou Tingting could not remember the relationship between the two before, then when she noticed the subtle relationship between Sun Peng and the two celebrities, and then thought of the introducer Luo Cheng, then these two names were easily
Stringed together.
Who wrote those songs for Luo Cheng and Chen Feifei?
Lao Bai?
If she were not a real Chinese, I am afraid Dou Tingting would never have thought of the connection between these two names, just like her silly boyfriend Natsuhiko Mochizuki.
So Dou Tingting suddenly understood everything: why two big stars came to receive her when she came to Japan, and why Tanaka and Aoki were so polite to Sun Peng, as if they were a newcomer accepting an interview with a record company——
Of course it won't happen if there are only two good songs, but what if the other person is a guy who has written dozens of good songs and is already recognized as the world's top songwriter?
For a singer, this is definitely a top figure!
So when Dou Tingting saw Sun Peng talking to the two singers about the good results, and then started enjoying the food again, she understood where his confidence lay, and then...
"Jiajia's luck...is that good?"
Looking at Sun Peng who was eating calmly next to him, seemingly indifferent to the exchange between her boyfriend and the two celebrities, Dou Tingting suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She and Zheng Jia Neng have been good friends since childhood, except because they are
The neighbors have always been in the same school from elementary school to high school, and it’s because they have always been equally outstanding!
Regardless of family background, appearance, education, etc., there is not much difference between them.
But now...
Looking at her boyfriend who had been sitting next to her as if she were having an interview, and who was still aggrieved by Sun Peng's attitude towards the two domestic stars, Dou Tingting only felt heartbroken at the moment...
…
While Sun Peng was enjoying a feast of Japanese cuisine, a conversation related to him was also taking place across the Pacific in the United States.
"To put it simply, this laobai is not a simple picture book writer!"
Facing Francis Philips, the boss of Kaboka Animation Studio, Bob Hunter of the CBS Television Copyright Department was very disdainful, but he explained seriously on his face: "I think you should first
Let’s find out more about him. He is not only the screenwriter of "Criminal Minds", he is also a top musician. His songs have won the number one spot on Billboard for nine weeks this year. He is also one of the most famous writers in China.
1. The total sales volume of the works has exceeded 10 million units..."
Wouldn’t it be easy to find out these simple information just by looking it up?
"Oh my god! Ten million sets?"
After listening to Bob Hunter's words, Francis Philips' mouth opened into an O shape!
Of course he knows about the screenwriter of Criminal Minds, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to CBS to find out about the situation; as for the top musicians, he also knows it very well, because he only knew about the picture book "Frozen" through a music program
, and the person introducing this set of picture books above is none other than the new world-class music queen Chen Feifei!
but……
What the hell is a novel that has sold more than 10 million copies? Is there such a thing?
Of course, the sales volume of more than 10 million is not the key. The key is the total royalties represented by this number, which is tens of millions of dollars! And think about the number I just mentioned, Francis Philips
He understood immediately. He understood why Bob Hunter looked at him with that look just now.
After laughing twice, he couldn't help but blush.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Francis's face, Bob Hunter secretly rolled his eyes, picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of coffee, while showing a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
This guy has no idea how to do animation!
Today, this guy suddenly ran into his office and asked CBS to help contact the author of the "Frozen" picture book series, and then said that he was prepared to spend 300,000 US dollars plus 0.5% of the box office share to buy the movie.
Adaptation rights...
Three hundred thousand, why don't you just say thirty thousand?
If it weren't for the fact that CBS and Kaboka Animation Studio were owned by the same group, and the relationship behind Francis was very strong, to be honest, Bob Hunter wouldn't even want to deal with him!
Do you really think that all Chinese people are fools and can be fooled casually?
Forget about this picture book, take a look at the English copyright of "Criminal Minds". CBS has offered up to six million US dollars. Did Laobai agree? Although Bob Hunter knew that the other party deliberately wanted to push it.
The Chinese version of "Criminal Minds", so I would rather make less money than sell it, but...
That’s six million!
300,000 yuan to buy out the copyright of "Frozen", do you really dare to think about it?!
Of course, this does not mean that this picture book will definitely be worth much. After all, no one can estimate the value of an adaptation that has not been tested by the market. Take Kaboka Animation Studio as an example. Last year, the global box office of an adapted animated film was
630 million U.S. dollars, but the adaptation rights only cost 400,000 U.S. dollars; but the box office of the movie the year before last year was only 320 million U.S. dollars, but the adaptation rights cost a full 7 million U.S. dollars!
But when you make an offer, you always have to check who the author is, right?
If it is an unknown little writer, let alone 300,000 US dollars, even if it is 100,000 US dollars, he will agree to it with a little profit at most. But if the other party is a famous writer whose works have sold more than 10 million,
, he is also a top composer and an extremely good screenwriter...
If you impose such conditions, you are seeking to feel uncomfortable.
So after the other party calmed down, Bob Hunter said leisurely: "Francis, are you really so optimistic about this "Frozen"?"
"Of course, great story!"
Speaking of his professional field, Francis immediately nodded and said seriously: "The two heroines are both princesses, which fully demonstrated their courage and friendship, as well as magical elements, as well as Olaf and
Reindeer is such a cute pet, and...if you look at the whole story carefully, you will find that its entire structure and rhythm are completely based on the movie script, which can be said to be perfect!"
"Uh... is it that exaggerated?"
After hearing what the other party said, Bob Hunter also sat up straight.
"Yes, this is our opinion after discussion!"
Taking a deep breath, Francis said in a deep voice: "That's why I want to ask you to help contact the author and get the adaptation rights as soon as possible, but now it seems... I'm afraid I can buy the adaptation rights at a relatively small price.
The possibility is slim.”
Now that we know that the other party is a major author with sales exceeding 10 million, it will definitely be difficult to get the right to adapt it.
This is a very real world. He dared to offer such a price before because he did not understand the situation. Now that he knows it, he will naturally change his attitude.
So after a moment of silence, Francis gritted his teeth and said: "Bob, please help contact this laobai. I want to talk to him personally..."
