The Walking Dead's explosive fire naturally attracted strong attention from outsiders.

Many TV viewers love the Walking Dead so much.

This shows how it is evident from the rating of up to 9.1 points on the imdb website.

Of course, the rating of this 9.1-point evaluation will definitely drop as it continues to air, but the conservative rating of 8.5 is absolutely no problem; at the same time, the Walking Dead, who only broadcasts for one day, has more than 100,000 messages on the official website, which is even more popular than the premiere of the jailbreak.

The next day.

Shortly after Zucker got up, he answered a call from TV Group President Donna Lang Lei.

"Boss, since the early morning, when our Walking Dead data was released, Upn TV has received up to 20 calls. Either overseas TV stations, or sales agents of DVDs and videotapes; just now, we also received calls from Dark Horse Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics, seeking the right to adapt comics of Walking Dead TV series."

Zhuke's mouth suddenly raised slightly.

This is all the money!

"Ms. Donna, what are the pursuit of jailbreaks by those overseas TV stations now?" Zucker asked.

"Boss, of course they won't give up jailbreak, after all, that's an ace drama that 20 million people watched."

That's right, Zucker did not directly mention the Walking Dead, but mentioned the jailbreak.

In fact, as early as more than ten days ago, when the prison escape began to become popular, the TV group received calls from 7 overseas TV stations one after another.

The purpose is self-evident!

Of course, it came to escape from prison.

Zhuke smiled and said, "Ms. Donna, we have been jailbreak for so long and have not taken over overseas copyrights. Isn't it just waiting for the Walking Dead? Now I officially notify you that you can sell it." "Boss, received it!"

Ms. Donna is such a shrewd person, she certainly understands Zhuke's plan.

A jailbreak and a hit in America has attracted the attention of many overseas TV stations; however, there is another Walking Dead movie.

Capital pursues profits, so they are certainly rushing.

Moreover, if two TV series are on sale at the same time, the TV group's profit will be maximized, which is much more profitable than the sales of a single movie and TV series.

At 9 a.m. that day.

Donna Lang Lei personally took charge of the Jin Shuguang TV Group, and the first one to meet was Marvel Comics.

"Hello, Ms. Donna, I am Marvel's executive shareholder Salbormatt. The purpose of my visit this time is to make the copyright and serialization rights of the comic adaptation and serialization rights of the Walking Dead TV series."

Salbormatt is not an ordinary person.

He is one of the top executives of Marvel.

Now Marvel Comics is in a quagmire, insolvent, and on the verge of bankruptcy and reorganization. The struggle between major shareholders and Marvel executives is also intensifying, almost on the surface; and in the future, the person who ends Marvel's infighting will end is Salbormatt.

In the future, David Messel is the first person to propose the concept of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe".

The Marvel executive David Messel contacted was also Salbormatt.

It is no exaggeration to say that Salpormatt is definitely a very critical figure in Marvel's rise in the future.

"Ms. Donna, please believe in our Marvel strength and we are confident that we can create the Walking Dead comics successfully."

Saarbormat said in a deep voice.

However......

Donna Langley unceremoniously rejected Salpormatt's request for cooperation.

"Mr. Polmatt, your company is trapped in a long internal struggle, which is not a short time, but has lasted for several years. How do you make me believe in Marvel's sincerity?"

"Along with that, how much does Marvel Comics still have now?"

"How much money do you plan to buy our adaptation rights?"

"As far as I know, Marvel now owes debts to major banks, no less than $300 million. What money do you pay us?"

Donna's call was extremely harsh, but these were facts.

Even though Polmat had a deep face, he felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

The next time...

Ms. Donna met with DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics respectively.

Their purpose is naturally to be adapted by the Walking Dead comics.

There is no need to be much DC Comics. As a subsidiary of Time Warner, its strength is naturally unparalleled; the company's superheroes Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman Flash... are even more famous all over the world.

Although the establishment of Dark Horse Comics is only more than ten years, which is far less than the history of DC Comics and Marvel Comics, its development in recent years has been quite good.

The disguised monster under his rogue, Hellboy, is also well-known. Even the comic serialization rights of the Spartan 300 Warriors copyright obtained by Zucker from Miller are also part of the Dark Horse Comic.

"Ms. Donna, long story short."

dc comics represent: "For the sake of the Walking Dead, I dc comics are willing to pay $1.2 million in copyright purchase fees, and your company will also enjoy the profit of comic sales of 5."

This price is definitely a sincere price.

However, Ms. Donna eventually rejected him.

Why?

Because Ms. Donna put forward a prerequisite!

Jin Shuguang TV Group has the final decision on the direction of the follow-up plot of the Walking Dead comic.

In other words, the copyright of the comic can be sold to you, but it is not necessary to change whatever you want. It must be approved by Jin Shuguang TV Group.

Donna couldn't give up on this prerequisite!

Zhuke would never allow it.

How much profit can a comic be?

What Zhuke values ​​is the large profits of the Walking Dead film and television, which is the key point.

If this final decision is given up, the subsequent TV series of the Walking Dead will be completely lost control and the losses will be infinitely magnified.

How could Zhu Kouku agree?

Unless there is a pitfall in your mind!

Finally, after two days of negotiations, Jin Shuguang TV Group reached an agreement with Dark Horse Comics on the adaptation rights of the Walking Dead Comics.

1. Dark Horse Comic paid $1.2 million to obtain the right to adapt the Walking Dead;

2. Jin Shuguang TV Group enjoys 8 profits from the sales of Walking Dead Comics;

3. Jin Shuguang TV Group enjoys the final decision-making right to serialize the Walking Dead comics and can stop the operation;

The subsequent agreement contents include more than 20 legal statements on rights and obligations.

"Although the Walking Dead comics are also very profitable, they are far less profitable than the movies and TV series. However, we cannot ignore this. After all, the serialization of comics will promote the spread of the influence of the Walking Dead." Zhu Ke looked at the contract in his hand with satisfaction.

The full copyright operation of games, peripherals, music, etc. is also a great future for money.
Chapter completed!
