765 World Hugo Awards Conference 1
"Survival of Mars" was nominated for the Hugo Award, one of the five nominations.
Every year, thousands of science fiction works will be produced around the world, and only a few of them can be shortlisted for the Hugo Awards, and they are all powerful people in world science fiction literature.
Si Luofu is very optimistic about its adaptation potential. If it is made into a movie and is released globally, the box office will definitely not be bad.
"I can offer a price that you can't refuse." He was very confident and stretched out five fingers with a smile: "Fifty million US dollars."
"Fifty million?"
"Yes, other companies can't offer this price except Black Forest."
I thought the price was so high, but Chen Yao had no feelings when he listened to his offer.
Decisively refused: "no, the price is too low."
Si Luofu was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared: "From the perspective of a businessman, everyone hopes that the benefits can be maximized, but the price is no longer low, it is the most reasonable."
Chen Yao took a sip of coffee and said, "The physical book publishing income of "Survival of Mars" is more than 50 million.
With its IP value, it can also be adapted into games and animations. It’s too easy for you to buy them for 50 million."
Si Luof shook his head: "We are not interested in game adaptation, we need its film and television copyright."
He thought for a while and said, "On the basis of 50 million, we can add another 10 million signing fee.
This is the highest price that Black Forest can offer. If you continue to raise the price, we will not be able to continue to negotiate."
He felt that Chen Yao simply wanted a larger price, and now he directly capped the price. Without other choices, his attitude would soften and agree.
Can result...
"Then let's stop our negotiations." Chen Yao put down his coffee cup, turned around and left decisively.
This made Si Luofu stunned: "..."
Unexpectedly, his attitude was so decisive that he didn't even think about it.
Si Luof looked at his back and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "The price is not available for other companies except Black Forest.
If you reject us, you will regret it.”
Chen Yao walked out without looking back. Luo Kun didn't even react and the negotiation ended. He put down his unfinished coffee, got up and chased him out quickly.
"Chen Yao, I feel..." Luo Kun said carefully: "The sixty million US dollars are not low, you can earn 400 million rmb."
I feel that this big guy is so rich that he is numb to money. He can refuse this even if he costs 400 million yuan?
This is just a novel. How can I sell it at such a high price and look at it? Few people in the world can do it?
Chen Yao said: "The value of "Survival on Mars" cannot be underestimated."
In another parallel space, "Martian Rescue" made 4.3 billion rmb worldwide, although revenue does not equal profit.
But Chen Yao would never agree to sell the copyright of this book easily.
So what if there is no one to ask for the copyright, I have already prepared to set up my own film group and it would be better to leave it for myself to shoot.
The copyright fair ended in the morning, and the copyrights of the Hugo Award-nominated works were found, all from Hollywood film and television companies.
The only one who did not succeed in the transaction was Chen Yao, who left without any success.
However, Rojas's work "Building Planet" was bought by Black Forest for $80 million.
It is the work with the highest transaction price in this trade fair.
Many media speculated that "Building Planet" is likely to be the biggest winner of the Hugo Awards tonight.
After all, the copyright fair before the award ceremony was known as the barometer of grand prizes. All works that won the copyright transaction championship in previous years would laugh and say that they would finally win the highest award.
After lunch, Chen Yao returned to his room to rest.
I opened Twitter and this app is equivalent to a domestic Weibo account. If Chinese people don’t climb over the wall, they will not be able to get on.
Chen Yao doesn't have to cross the wall. As long as there is a normal reason, the relevant departments can apply for opening. People with international influence like him need to use Twitter.
In addition to Twitter, Facebook is also the most popular social platform abroad, but Chen Yao never uses Facebook.
After all, his own company also has a social platform and plans to push Xinyu software to the world and turn it into a social application for people around the world.
I am using Twitter for the time being. There are quite a lot of people discussing the Hugo Awards online. Every year, the award ceremony held by the World Science Fiction Association always attracts a lot of topics.
Part of it is fake news posted by foreign media, and on the other hand, some news posted by official Weibo is to attract more people's attention.
The morning trade will be posted online, and netizens are all talking about it.
"I just said that the science fiction works in China are not good. Look, there is no film and television company to buy its copyright."
"There is nomination list for his two novels, but he still cannot prove his strength? Who has two works shortlisted for this competition? Even Rojas can't do it."
"Compared with Rojas, Chen is no match at all. Look at Rojas, it costs 80 million US dollars. Remember correctly, this should be the work with the highest film and television fee rights in history."
"It's just that Chen doesn't want to sell it, and the offer is 60 million."
"Oh my God, I won't sell it for 60 million. That guy's head is fine, right?"
There are many people who are popular. A new topic on Twitter, comparing Rojas and Chen Yao, who will win the Hugo Award for Best Long?
The number of voters exceeded 128,000, of which 87% of netizens voted for Rojas's "Building Planet".
Lin Yuhan saw this number and frowned: "Your chance of winning the prize seems to be getting lower and lower."
After all, the Hugo Award was also generated through voting, although online voting does not equal official voting.
Chen Yao's face was very calm and his mentality was always stable: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it. If you get it, just use it as the icing on the cake."
Lin Yuhan asked, "If you can't get it, don't you think it's a huge regret?"
He won two Galaxy Awards in the country, and his science fiction industry has reached its peak in China.
The only thing that is lacking is a world-class science fiction award and a Hugo award.
Chen Yao said: "There will be a little bit."
In the evening, I changed into an orthodox black tuxedo suit in the hotel. I could usually do it casually, but it would be better to attend such a conference.
Lin Yuhan changed into a light yellow princess dress and looked more youthful and cute.
Luo Kun was also accompanied by the uncle. The uncle's outfit was a little rustic, wearing a solid color down leather jacket, which looked like he had been wearing for many years.
The three of them came downstairs, and a white man called to get on the bus and arrived at the gymnasium on a special bus.
"Ding Dong!" A message was received on the phone.
Meizizi: "I'm watching the live broadcast. No matter whether you win or lose, you are the best {love you}{bless}."
Chapter completed!
