If he keeps "Blind Spot" in his own hands, this series will not be adapted for film and television for at least five years, otherwise Zhang Zhong would not sell the film and television adaptation rights of "Blind Spot".
If the two volumes are packaged and sold together for five years for 25 million yuan, it will not actually make much money, and the average will be just over 12 million copies.
On average, the annual film and television audio adaptation fee for a book is only more than 2 million, which is very little for Zhang Zhong's current level.
However, there are many conditions for Zhang Zhong to sell the film and television adaptation rights, including that the script adaptation must first be approved by him as the original author, otherwise Zhang Zhong will not let the film be made if he says it will not be made.
Therefore, buying the copyright of Zhang Zhong's works is risky. If Zhang Zhong makes things difficult for them, they will have no recourse.
If Zhang Zhong adds a condition that the film will be broadcast for three years, it will take less than five years and only three years to recover the copyright.
Of course, as long as the other party doesn't go too far, it's impossible for Zhang Zhong to do such a thing.
Others also knew that Zhang Zhong would not do such a thing, so they dared to come over and buy his copyright.
Headquartered in Yanjing, Hyde Film and Television Company is also a well-known company in the industry. The two parties have had contact with each other once before because of the film and television adaptation of "Harry Potter".
However, Zhang Zhong had no intention of selling "Harry Potter" at that time, so the cooperation between the two parties was not reached.
Under normal circumstances, companies that sell copyrights will screen partners very strictly. If the other party is not a big company, they will not consider it even if the money is higher.
Because there are many second-rate dealers in the film and television industry now, some people may spend money to buy the copyright first, then use some means to hype it for a period of time, and then sell the script at a high price to earn the difference in price.
Even if the copyright contract signed at the beginning clearly stipulates that the copyright cannot be resold, these second-rate dealers can still find loopholes.
Yu Dongyu had suffered a loss before.
At that time, Yu Dongyu had just become famous. Someone set up a leather bag company to buy the copyright from him, and talked to him a lot. Finally, Yu Dongyu was bewitched and sold the copyright, hoping that the other party could produce a film and television series as soon as possible.
.
But this delay lasted for several years, and when Yu Dongyu's fame had reached a higher level, the second-rate dealer took the opportunity to resell the film and television adaptation rights of the work.
The copyright fee of 2 million yuan was resold for 10 million yuan, with a net profit of 8 million yuan.
The most annoying thing is that the second person who bought the rights made a mess of the movie, made a fortune and ran away.
Some people say that Yu Dongyu was too naive at the time and believed the other party's words easily, and did not set any restrictive treaty.
Some people also said that the second-hand dealer was very discerning and had long seen Yu Dongyu's potential, so he was able to hoard it.
Moreover, second-rate dealers also take risks. If Yu Dongyu didn't become popular later, the two million would have been wasted.
In Zhang Zhong's view, these are all nonsense. Although Yu Dongyu was not as popular as he is now, selling the film and television adaptation rights of his work for two million was not expensive at all.
Even if Yu Dongyu doesn't have any outstanding works later, that work can still sell for at least two million, and there will be no loss at all.
As for Yu Dongyu being innocent, it is indeed true. He had just become famous at that time, so he did not expect such things to happen, and because he was eager to make his works into films, he suffered a loss.
But simplicity is not the reason for others to deceive him. Such deceptive second-rate dealers deserve to die.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhong went to Shizhong College. There was an exam in the college today and he was going to invigilate the exam.
There were few teachers in Shizhong College and the examinations were intensive, so Zhang Zhong assigned himself some tasks of invigilating the examinations.
When Zhang Zhong arrived in the classroom, many students had already arrived.
The students were chatting in groups, but when they saw Zhang Zhong coming, they all said hello to him.
"Principal, you are the one to invigilate this exam."
The name of the invigilator will not be written on the exam notification form in advance, so the students only know that Zhang Chong will invigilate the exam.
Zhang Chong said with a smile, "Well, I'm here to invigilate the exam. I'm usually not very active in class, but the exam comes quite early. You guys are still half an hour away from the exam, so you've almost arrived."
In fact, Zhang Zhong has no position in saying this, because as long as it is his class, students go there very early, otherwise they may not be able to find a seat.
But what Zhang Zhong said makes sense. If it weren't for Zhang Zhong's class, usually very few students would arrive at the classroom more than half an hour early.
The attendance rate of Shizhong College is very high. If it were a slightly worse school, it would be good if the students could arrive in class on time, but asking them to come early would be a fantasy.
Zhang Zhong sat on the podium and did not check whether there were any cheat sheets on the table.
On the one hand, he is quite reassured about the students, but on the other hand, the modern Chinese literature test paper they took today is relatively difficult, and it is not easy to make cheat sheets.
Even if Zhang Zhong leaves them open to make cheat sheets on the table, I'm afraid they won't be able to copy anything.
Moreover, college students usually cheat in exams in order not to fail the exam. This situation basically does not happen to students in Shizhong College. Their goals are higher and cannot be achieved by cheating.
It was only five minutes before the exam that Zhang Zhong got the test papers from the grading teacher and distributed them to the students.
The exam time for this course is two hours, which should be said to be plenty of time.
Although the test paper is relatively difficult, it only has 100 points and has very few questions.
Those who know how to write can finish it quickly, and those who don’t know how to write can finish it in an hour and a half even if it is just messing around.
After Zhang Zhong handed out the test papers, he looked at the time. He estimated that he would be able to collect the test papers and get off work in an hour and a half at most.
Zhang Zhong would not be idle during this hour and a half. He took out his pen and notebook and began to organize the lesson plans for the next semester.
The existing lesson plans are all centered around Zhu Guangqian's discussion of aesthetics, with some other things added in, but they have never been systematic. He plans to sort them out and try to bring something different to the students in the next semester.
After writing for about an hour, Zhang Zhong raised his head and glanced at the students below. He was quite surprised, because after an hour, no one had turned in the paper.
Zhang Zhong shook his head. Maybe the test paper this time was really difficult, so the students were taking it very slowly.
However, half an hour later, the exam time had passed for an hour and a half, and there was still not a single paper handed in.
This is really strange. Even if the test paper is very difficult, I won't be able to turn in no paper at all like now.
