Chapter 265 One Hundred Million! (Part 2)

"Ahem! Let's officially start now. Today is the full copyright auction meeting for the novel "Infinite Time and Space". In principle, the price is the priority, and the opinions of the Qidian Copyright Department are the main ones, followed by the adaptation ability, the influence of the work, and the original author. Mr. Pu Dinglie’s wishes and other aspects will be considered comprehensively.”

Medegao introduced the opening remarks prepared in advance.

The general meaning is that the price will be given to the one with the highest price, but if there are other bonus points, you can also consider them.

According to the contract signed between the author and Qidian, copyright operation belongs to Qidian’s obligations and rights.

Pu Ding only has the right to make suggestions and dividends.

Of course, if the author really doesn’t want to sell, Qidian has no way to force the author to sign for the sale. However, if repeated negotiations are unsuccessful and malicious obstruction is made, Qidian can make an arbitrary decision and directly sign the contract, bypassing the author.

Therefore, this matter can be delayed for a while, but not forever.

Moreover, if the author wants to work in Qidian, he still needs to establish a good relationship with Qidian Copyright Department. Otherwise, what will happen if they stop operating your book in the future? I will freeze you directly and never sell this author’s copyright again.

Then isn’t the author stupid?

There’s no way someone would write a book and not intentionally want to sell the copyright, right?

Qidian has never seen it since operating copyright.

Not a single case!

There is an author who can sell the copyright of his work to ten thousand people, and he is not stupid.

After Medegao finished reading out the simple rules and opening remarks.

Major film and television companies can start to speak.

Come one by one according to the seats.

In fact, when placing the positions, McDermott was very careful and ranked the companies from small to large. This would make the prices look higher and higher, as if everyone is willing to spend more money to win the works, which makes it easier. Break through other people's psychological defenses.

The first person to speak was a rising star called ‘Good Monkey Pictures’.

The person who came was a somewhat ruffian man with a short hair.

"You guys, Qidian, are getting better and better at it. You haven't learned from our entertainment industry. You're quite skilled at using celebrities to raise salaries. To be honest, I don't object to doing something necessary to fight for your own interests." means, but I still want to tell you something. The adaptation of big IP is not necessarily based on money. It does not mean that which company gives more money or spends more money can make a good movie. ”

"You have also seen the movies released by our Good Monkey Pictures in the past few years. The ratings and box office are all hits. Today I saw all the big guys here. I know that our prices may not be comparable to those of our predecessors. But our good monkeys are definitely more sincere than anyone else in filming the "Infinite Time and Space" movie series!"

"As long as the copyright of this book is given to us, there will be an unlimited series of movies every year, and it will not be a problem to build our country's movie universe!"

"Ju Pu, no, Editor Pu! You are also a screenwriter. How do you want your work to be presented on the big screen? A money-making traffic film that everyone is clamoring for? Or a classic that can be passed down forever? You must be aware of it."

"So, for this bidding, we at Good Monkey Pictures are willing to pay 30 million to buy the full movie rights of "Infinite Time and Space". We only want the movie rights."

"hiss--"

Pu Jie took a breath of cold air.

Is this the weakest company here? ? ?

A direct price of 30 million for a movie copyright?

Still feel like you can’t win over others?

What the hell are you?

At this time, the person next to Good Monkey Pictures spoke.

"Hehehe~ Mr. Zhou joked again, you monkeys have made several good movies, but who hasn't made a few good movies? If I remember correctly, the "Cold Past" you released this year seems to be Did you pounce?"

Guangguang Film Industry, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and elegant, dressed like a lawyer.

Before, their company came to inquire about the copyright issues of "Infinite Time and Space", but was rejected by the copyright department.

Now, I am coming with the mentality that I will win, and I will not give in at all.

"We all have mature production capabilities. Don't talk about your dreams or pie-in-the-sky pie with others. Just tell us the price and that's it. We'll give you 40 million to buy the film rights to the novel. We'll suppress you!"

Next company: “45 million!”

Next company: "50 million!"

Pu Jie was frightened as he listened to their bidding, feeling that he could pass at any time.

Are you paying the royalties for my book?

You are trying to buy my life, Mr. Pu!

And these are just for buying movie rights, not other copyrights.

Medegao interrupted: "Ahem! Everyone, our book "Infinite Time and Space" can be divided into many parts, each with a movie world and sold separately. You can try to quote one movie at a time, for example. "Resident Evil 1".

Everyone: "."

There was silence for a moment.

"Shit! Your Qidian is getting darker and darker! You're selling the copyright of a novel in pieces, right?"

"Unheard of, unheard of! Just to make some money, I don't have any shame!"

"Without the plot before and after, how can the feeling of the film be unified? Not to mention that there are sequels such as "Resident Evil 2" and "The Mummy 2" in this book. Do you want to buy another one? By the way, don't you? Will you also write the plots of "Resident Evil 3" and "The Mummy 3"?"

Pu Jie thought about what was in his mind.

“It really does”

Everyone: "Fuck! We can't separate them anymore!"

Otherwise, if they filmed "Resident Evil 1", other companies filmed "Resident Evil 2", and another company filmed "Resident Evil 3". This is too stupid.

The biggest taboo in creating IP is to change companies to shoot.

Regardless of what the people from Qidian said, the heads of the eight companies discussed it briefly and felt that this matter could not be done according to Qidian's words. They must take it down together. They can shoot with multiple companies and transfer between companies, but they cannot divide the total copyright.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome in the future.

Mai Degao had a toothache. He originally wanted to help sell it at a sky-high price, but it turned out to be unrealistic.

"Then you can continue to apply. In addition to movie copyrights, there are also comics, animations, TV series, etc. You can talk about it."

So the major companies had another wave of confrontation.

Pu Jie saw this situation and knew that he should go up!

They have to give up the idea of ​​buying books at a high price.

"Ahem! I have a few words"

Everyone looked at the author Pu Ding who had not spoken much.

Pu Jie said: "In fact, the movies in my books are not easy to make. The Resident Evil series requires a large number of zombie extras and a lot of special effects. The shooting cost is extremely high and the production difficulty is also very high, so it may not be shot well. Similarly, the same is true for Alien. If the special effects are not done well, it will be like a child playing house, and it will not be outstanding. Moreover, the world in my book has many foreign backgrounds, and the domestic acceptance may not be very good."

"So, do you understand what I mean?"

The person in charge of Huayi nodded.

"I understand."

Pu Jie was happy, knowing that what I wrote was not easy to shoot, so he went back to think about it again, calculated the cost, and then looked at it. It would be best to delay it until the settlement of this cycle.

The person in charge of Huayi: "Before Mr. Pu said that, I might have been a little hesitant, whether each movie world here can be filmed well, but after Mr. Pu finished speaking, I understood. As a screenwriter, he must have considered the actual shooting problems of the movie world. It must be very effective if it has difficulty, special effects, and plots!

In addition, there is a foreign background, which is convenient for going to foreign film festivals to win awards and being released in other countries' theaters. Cultural output has been considered. I admire it!

So. I will increase the money!

80 million! Get all the film copyrights at a flat price, including what you write later. When the time comes. Regarding the script, please feel free to give me advice, Mr. Pu, and of course your writing fee is indispensable."

Pu Jie: "???"

You know a hammer!

Fuck!

Huayi directly raised the price to the top!

The top price that online literature IP can reach.

Other film companies were silent for a while. This price was beyond their affordability.

On the other side, Mai Degao opened his mouth in surprise.

Then he whispered to Pu Jie: "Pu Shen is still great! With just a few simple words, he raised the price to this level. I admire you."

Pu Jie: "???"

"Fuck you."

"Whatever."

"I'm tired, let's destroy it."

Pu found that he had no control over the situation today.

Looking up at the ceiling, his eyes were dull, as if he was a handsome guy who had been ravaged by many rich girls countless times.

All the sounds in his ears were filtered out.

After a while.

Pu Jie heard a number, and then everyone stood up.

"One hundred million!"

Pu Jie: Σ(°△°|||)︴

After shaking hands with the person in charge of Huayi, Mai Degao returned to his seat.

"Huh? Where's Pu Shen? He was sitting here just now."

Minghe was also a little puzzled.

"That's not right. I didn't see Pu Shen leave."

When others were looking for Pu Ding, Qi Fei found Pu under the table.

"Pu? Why are you shaking?"

Pu: "Quick, give me Xiao. Xiao. Bei. Bei Ji!"
