Chapter 471 Is "Prison Break" A Big Company? (2/4)
Chapter 471 Is "Prison Break" a big company? (twenty four)
Yang Yi still has a lot of things to do. In the past two days, he also took time to go to Sahara Publishing House to receive visiting Hu Da and Qiangzi with Lu Benjie.
Qiyue has a good relationship with Sahara Publishing House, and has always maintained a state of cooperation, mining excellent online literature for physical publishing, which is also a major business of Sahara Publishing House.
Hu Da and Qiangzi came to talk to Yang Yi about the electronic publishing authorization of "Walk in the White Night".
"White Night" was released for a month, and its physical sales unexpectedly squeezed into the top ten of the monthly list. You know, this is not a new book list, what's more, "Walking in the White Night" is a relatively niche suspense literature. It can be said that it is a miracle to have such a result.
After all, not everyone is willing to read suspense literature, and most readers still prefer literary works or romance novels with a light and sunny plot.
Of course, for works such as "Walking in the White Night" that describe the protagonist so horribly, the audience should be narrower. The reason why they can break out in a small way is due to the sudden exposure of Yang Yi and Murphy's marriage relationship.
I have to say that this is not the hype they want. Although it has caused them a lot of trouble, it still benefits them in some ways! It's no wonder why some people are so obsessed with hyping themselves up that they don't even hesitate to throw dirty water on themselves!
One month after the release of "White Night", it was not unacceptable to launch an electronic publication. In addition, the conditions for opening the book were not bad, so Yang Yi signed a relevant contract with them.
"The day before we left, Global Pictures called our editorial department and said that they wanted to buy the film and television copyright of your "Prison Break". Before leaving, Hu Da relayed a message to Yang Yi.
Global Films, this is not a small film and television company! In Hollywood in the United States, it was rated as one of the eight major film and television production companies. This is not only an evaluation of capital operation, but also in the creation of film and television works and box-office revenue. The global film industry can be called a giant crocodile. exist.
Of course, the market for Chinese-language films in this world is even larger, and the global film industry will naturally not sit idly by. It also has a subsidiary in China. This time, it is the subsidiary of the global film industry, China, that is linked to China.
According to Hu Da's explanation, the current status of online literature adaptation is still relatively unclear. Except for Yang Yi's "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword", most of them are petty troubles, either the director is a rookie, or the management background is not enough.
Even though the cooperation between Chen Fengchen and Yang Yi has already caused quite a stir, causing many old film and television companies to pay attention to online articles, but just like today's global film industry, most of them wait and see, and few start!
The global film industry has been paying attention to the novel "Prison Break" since the beginning of the year. The current president of China, Xu Zhongwei, is ambitious to shoot it. Of course, he must use the resources of the parent company. After all, the background of this story is set to take place. in the US.
But they also hesitated for a long time. They have been watching the popularity of "Prison Break", and have been paying attention to the trend of the plot of "Prison Break", and even let people use vests to do polls in the book review area.
But a novel that is still serialized, there are too many uncertain factors! Well written in the early stage, who knows if it will collapse in the later stage? So they waited and watched, until now.
It was not until the online serialization of "Prison Break" was nearly finished that the global film industry began to contact and read it. Unfortunately, they found the wrong person. Unlike other authors, Yang Yi's works and film and television copyrights were all in their own hands.
"I have given your contact information to the people in the global film industry. Next, I will leave it to you to continue talking!" Hu Da and Yang Yi explained clearly, and then laughed, "To be honest, our editorial department cheered last night. After a long time, it is a rare opportunity to be seen by the global film industry, and I hope that "Prison Break" can be filmed as soon as possible, this is a very exciting story, isn't it?"
Yang Yi is not as optimistic as Hu Da. He does not want to easily sell the film and television copyright of his work. Since the global film industry wants it, Yang Yi must examine their attitude towards this work.
If you just want to make money by shooting casually, Yang Yi can't do it with him, no matter if they are Global Pictures or Universal Pictures! To shoot, you must have the attitude and commitment to shoot a blockbuster.
However, for Sahara Press, this is a good opportunity.
After Hu Da and Qiangzi left, Yang Yi asked Lu Benjie, "Is the negotiating team I asked you to set up ready?"
Yang Yi now has a big business and does not need to negotiate with others by himself. One of the important reasons for him to win the Sahara Publishing House is to let them take care of the copyright matters of those works for him.
"It's ready. I asked a headhunter company to recruit six senior lawyers and managers from the entertainment industry from all over the country to form this negotiation team together." Lu Benjie said quickly.
"In the future, we still need to find some people who are familiar with transnational cases and the rules of the European and American entertainment circles. We should broaden our horizons and take the road of globalization!" Yang Yi said, "But this time is a good opportunity, let them try it, neither am I Very free, basically ask them to talk for me and the people from the global film industry.”
Then, Yang Yi listed some of his own standards, and Lu Benjie gave the negotiating team a yardstick to judge.
Before Yang Yi left, he also asked about his fans with great interest: "By the way, I told you last time that a book signing was going to be held. How are the fans' feedback?"
Lu Benjie also cheered up, he sat up straight, and said, "After we conveyed your thoughts to the fans, we received a lot of feedback, but because you didn't give a definite time, they were a little worried that you would put All pigeons."
Lu Benjie also looked at Yang Yi closely, and his eyes seemed to convey the worried emotions of book fans.
Yang Yi was overjoyed, he said, "Who said I didn't have a fixed time? I'm just very busy in the past two months, so I can't get around! Let's do it, you can arrange for six signings in the first two weeks of May. How about it?"
"Can you confirm the time? Great!" Lu Benjie pushed his old-fashioned glasses and said with some surprise.
Yang Yi also smiled and said to Lu Benjie: "Because our time is limited, we can only hold six signings for the time being, but it doesn't matter, we will continue to hold it in other cities if we have the opportunity in the future! To make up for them..."
Yang Yi pointed to Lu Benjie and said, "You can ask everyone's suggestions on the website to see how everyone expects this signing to be carried out! Then you collect some of the most popular suggestions and give them to them. Me, I'll pick three and satisfy them as much as possible!"
Lu Benjie felt that this one was completely different from last year's Yang Yi. Before, Yang Yi was reluctant to hold a signing ceremony, but now, he has actively proposed to make some more tricks!
Is it because he has now become a public figure, "broken and broken"?
There are indeed reasons for this, but Lu Benjie does not know that the reason why Yang Yi has become so friendly is because Murphy is pregnant.
The plot still needs to be promoted. These chapters are a little boring, but they are very important for the subsequent development.
