After a long time, Caron still didn't wake up from the shock.
After all, his new work had just been rejected by the editor. In the words of the editor, it had little development value.
But in the blink of an eye, Chen Feng actually began to directly inquire about his intention to sell the copyright of his work.
This change is also too rapid.
However, the feeling that this kind of work is suddenly recognized by others, and that someone is willing to spend money to buy the copyright from him, still makes Cuarón very comfortable.
At this moment, Caron was even really tempted.
It’s said that it’s hard to find a good friend. Now that you’ve met someone who knows the stuff, you might as well sell the copyright of your work.
But soon, he gradually calmed down.
Because the development of the whole thing is really weird, and the young man in front of me who seems to be very rich does not know his identity, so it is really not a rational thing to agree to other people's requests so recklessly.
What's more, my works are created in English, and the comic styles are all foreign styles. But now, a person from a Chinese-speaking area wants to buy my own copyright. This seems very inconsistent, right?
Due to cultural differences, if the copyright of your work is bought by another party, will it be impossible for you to get ahead in the future?
A series of doubts slowly emerged in Caron's mind, so the expression on his face slowly changed from the initial shock and excitement to doubt and confusion.
Finally, after a few minutes of silence, Caron slowly asked some of his questions.
He asked very cautiously, but also very detailedly, and listed the many doubts in his mind one by one.
Tao Xianzhi listened carefully to Kalon's questions, and then translated the content to Chen Feng.
After hearing this, Chen Feng shook his head and smiled.
Indeed, he was a little anxious. When no one knew each other, he rashly asked about purchasing the copyright. It was really reckless. No wonder others would be suspicious.
So, Chen Feng took out a business card from Ping An Investment Company and handed it to Caron.
This card was designed and printed by An Ruohua for him. After all, Ping An Investment Company is now quite famous in the industry, so there are still things that should be included.
Caron took Chen Feng's business card with some confusion, looked at it for a few times but didn't quite understand it.
Later, Tao Xianzhi patiently helped introduce Chen Feng's identity.
When he heard that Chen Feng was in the movie business, Cuaron's eyes widened immediately.
Movie, this was really beyond his expectation.
However, at the same time, Chen Feng's position in Cuaron's heart immediately became much more important.
Because Cuaron knows very well that the reason why comic IPs in superhero series are becoming more and more expensive is because of the continuous development of the film market in recent years, as well as the increasing number of movies adapted from comic books, and the box office is also increasing.
good.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to adapt your comic works into movies, that would definitely be one of the most exciting things!
Especially a fantasy world like "Avatar" will definitely become more attractive if it is changed into the form of a movie.
But the Chen Feng in front of me happens to be a movie maker!
…
However, even though he figured out Chen Feng's identity and understood that Chen Feng's desire to buy the copyright of his works was not a joke, this kind of thing was a big deal after all, and Cuarón himself needed to think about it carefully.
Therefore, before Cuaron finally left, he still did not agree to Chen Feng's request, and did not even ask for a specific quotation.
However, Chen Feng was not discouraged. Everyone sent Cuaron out of the villa very politely. They watched the foreign painter with a somewhat eccentric temper slowly leave before returning to the living room.
"Is Cuaron's work really that good? Do you have to buy it?" An Ruohua asked with some doubts.
Chen Feng nodded.
"Well, I think it's very good. If it can be adapted into a movie, it will be an amazing movie."
Tao Xianzhi, who was standing next to him, thought for a while and said: "However, comic book movies require a lot of special effects. As far as I know, many foreign companies are currently making superhero series movies, but not many are successful. Domestic ones
Is it more difficult..."
"Yes, it will indeed be difficult..." Chen Feng thought for a while, but suddenly smiled: "However, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you find a way to do it, you will be able to overcome it. Didn't we also film "The Wandering Earth"
Is that so? We shouldn’t be afraid to challenge even more difficult subjects.”
When he said this, Chen Feng's face was full of confidence, and that kind of courage made Tao Xianzhi admire him very much.
…
After Caron returned to his residence, his mood could not calm down.
Someone wants to buy the copyright of his own work, and it seems that he is not joking about it. This kind of thing makes him feel a little uneasy.
Although Caron acted very calmly in front of Chen Feng and the others, now at home, he finally didn't have to hide anything.
So he kept pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes stopping suddenly and thinking about something, and sometimes shaking his head constantly and continuing to run back and forth.
In short, he was not calm at all.
Although he has many concerns, he is still extremely excited when faced with the possibility of selling the copyright of his works.
Finally, Cuaron called his former editor's phone number with some anxiety.
Although the other party had just rejected his manuscript, now only he could answer some of Cuarón's doubts.
After a while, the call was made. The other party was in rare free time, so Caron was able to chat with the other party for a few more words.
After the polite greetings, Cuaron carefully began to inquire about the price of film and television copyrights for comic works.
When talking about this kind of thing, the editor opposite was also a little excited.
"Comic adaptation rights have high and low prices. The highest prices, such as those of the most popular superhero series, are almost priceless, because the author holds the copyright and will never sell it directly.
Most of them are jointly developed, and some people can even participate in the box office share... Of course, there are also film and television copyrights of some works that have been bought out, and the current known price is as high as several million dollars..."
After hearing such astronomical figures, Cuaron felt his blood surge. Although the work sold for millions was not his, it at least gave him a lot of hope.
However, another comment from the editor later made him fall into the ice cave again.
"Of course, the copyrights of less famous works cannot be sold for a good price. For example, those comics you published in the past few years would be considered lucky if they can sell for tens of thousands of dollars now. There are more
There are so many copyrights for works that no one cares about.”
"So, Cuaron, I advise you to change your drawing to a superhero series as soon as possible. Don't waste time on your fantasy planet blue alien work..."
