Chapter 55
In the film and television industry, every month I feel that I was a fool last month.
Copyright transaction prices are rising almost every month, and the increase makes housing prices difficult to match!
"IP" is the most talked about in the industry, and the core of writers' chats and conversations is always inseparable from full copyright development.
From publications, movies, TV series to derivative games, IP can be displayed in various forms.
Writers are facing more and more business negotiations, and Qin Chuan has already had this understanding since he published his first novel.
It's too laborious to talk about and I can't figure out a lot of things.
For newcomer authors, it is normal to have no box office dividends.
Even a slightly stronger film and television company will not give dividends to writers or screenwriters. It only has one-third of the box office, and there will be no more scattered one-third of the box office.
Not to mention Qin Chuan, most of the great masters cannot get box office dividends.
Companies give high prices when they compete with each other, but this is a contest between capitalists and will not really let others get cheap.
Almost everyone knows how to propose giving dividends. Once a company takes the lead in giving dividends, it will break the rules of the industry and be isolated.
Qin Chuan has always known the importance of writers and agents, and he had no capital to look for them before.
In his previous life, he attended the writer training held by the city, and one important condition was the importance of writer agency. Without the operation of the agent Christopher Ritter, the author of "Harry Potter" would find it difficult for the little wizard wearing glasses to make honey global by himself.
I thought that after the "Eternal Suffering and Waters of Longing East" was completed, someone would ask for copyright. At that time, there was naturally a manuscript fee and a little more confident.
Qin Chuan has made plans now. After the new book is on the shelves, he will use the right to adapt film and television online as a stepping stone. At that time, there will definitely be an agent in contact.
He is fishing for Jiang Taigong, and he is willing to take the bait!
He lowered his head and used his mobile phone to download the modified full version of the contract sent by Li Xiang. Qin Chuan knew that Lieyan Film would definitely bite him to death on various divisions and would never let go.
If you ask for dividends, won’t those big-name screenwriters make trouble?
Qin Chuan provides 50,000 words of novel content, and they want to refine this simple plot into a script, which is not small.
Even Qin Chuan suspected that the starring Lin Xin might not necessarily have box office dividends and DVD sales dividends!
Anyone who can perform such a big IP can do it.
Choosing newcomers is for low pay and high plasticity. The producers will not be stupid enough to give high prices.
The second, third and big gatherings will increase the pay.
Since that is the case, the copyright fee naturally cannot be too low.
Previously, Lieyan Film wrote about 8 million yuan, and Qin Chuan asked for a total of 15 million yuan in the three departments. Considering that the discretion was less, he filled in 14 million yuan on the copyright fee, which was 10 years.
Ten years later, "The End of Life and the Suffering Water" can be sold to other film companies to shoot movies.
Unless Flame Films is willing to renew the contract!
Then the renewal price is not that cheap.
The three movies are 14 million, and each movie is only 4.65 million Chinese coins on average, which is really not a big deal.
After writing it, Qin Chuan sent the contract to Yang Yang, the producer assistant, to give others a headache.
Since the other party has spent so much effort, he must want to buy the movie adaptation rights as soon as possible.
It would be a waste if you don't take the opportunity to have a good talk.
His purpose was very clear, and he put forward a lot of almost impossible conditions for Lieyan Film to reject, and then asked for a slightly higher possibility.
This is easy to be agreed.
For example, if he wants a high copyright fee, after rejecting various share terms, Lieyan Film always has to get some quotations of 14 million Chinese coins, and will not bargain for 8 million as before.
...
Yang Yang had a headache when he saw these terms.
The copyright fee of more than 10 million yuan is something outside the budget. When formulating the budget, I never thought I would ask someone else to buy copyright.
The scripts of each previous movie are original scripts completed by the screenwriter themselves. There are so many classic novels and mythological stories to support it, so it is not difficult to write the scripts reasonably.
Now Liu Daoyong is still thinking about how to settle the copyright fee of more than 10 million yuan.
The company will definitely not increase its budget until the end.
Giving copyright fees has made many investors dissatisfied. If they share the profits, who will take out the divided part from?
Other investors won’t, and Lieyan Film won’t.
Although Liu Daoyong is a producer, he is actually a senior worker and not a boss.
Yang Yang directly crossed out a series of copyright income!
He is also betting.
Between his own company, no other company has taken a fancy to the movie adaptation rights of "The Suffering of Life" in the Longest.
Don’t look at Huayue.com recommends the copyright of this novel to all familiar companies.
But the premise that those companies are interested in this is that Lieyan Pictures wants to make this movie. If Lieyan Pictures gives up, the rest of the companies will also give up, and there is no doubt about the signature.
The plot of "The End of Life and the Suffering Water" is indeed very novel, but it is a abuse of the text after all.
These days, the audience and users like to abuse their articles are a minority, and most of them still hope to watch some relaxed film and television works in addition to their bad life.
Except for copyright fees, there is no other way!
"It must be Huayue who gave Qin Chuan a suggestion behind his back, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a contract." Yang Yang was not too nervous, "Fortunately, Qin Chuan did not sign an agent, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with."
It is difficult for the writer to give up his face and will not break the slap in the end.
But the agent is not so restrained and usually increases welfare benefits in various ways.
Yang Yang still feels the most comfortable working with Qin Chuan himself.
"There shouldn't be much chance to cooperate in the future. Just this time, just do it once and for all."
The task is heavy, and the movie script must be completed within a week so that you can get a license before shooting.
In fact, the license supervision is not strict. You can review any rough script and get a license. At that time, the release version is different from the rough filed script. It can be said that the script has been modified and edited while filming.
However, in order not to be caught by his peers, Lieyan Film will require every link to be implemented as much as possible.
"14 million is too high, 12 million is about the same."
As a producer assistant, Yang Yang knows the financial situation of the crew very well.
Saving two million will make you more abundant, but you will never be able to make enough.
In order to get Qin Chuan to agree, Yang Yang had to promise a media resource.
After signing the contract, Lieyan Film will release relevant information and support the platform of "Life and Sorrow in Life" in the form of official announcement!
The invisible value of this resource is even more than 10 million!
Even if it is a bad book, as long as the adaptation of the Flame Pictures announced, it can be made into a key project for full copyright development.
If you want to make money, go to other companies!
Use Flame Pictures as a springboard.
Chapter completed!
