Wen Ying muttered.
Yuan Fenghui wanted to find a stick to hit Wen Ying with. She scanned the office and saw only a pot of gladiolus in full bloom. Yuan Fenghui considered for a second whether to pull up the gladiolus and hit Wen Ying with it, but ultimately decided against it. The gladiolus was a gift from Director Fan of Hunan Satellite TV, congratulating Yuan Fenghui on moving to a new office.
Wen Ying slowly backed away, almost sticking to the office door, ready to run away at any time.
"It's not my fault. You didn't explain yourself clearly, only saying you'd give me a cut based on the adaptation's revenue. How do I know if that's book profit or net profit? For example, if the broadcast rights to a TV series sell for 100 million—let's assume it sells for 100 million. If the production cost of that "prodigy" is 50 million, then 5% of 100 million and 5% of 50 million are quite different, right?"
5% of 100 million is 5 million.
5% of 50 million is 2.5 million.
The most expensive adaptation rights for Shui Mingyue's novels sold for 2 million. Logically speaking, Wen Ying should be satisfied even if it was only 5% of 50 million.
If Wen Ying didn't know how much the price of film and television adaptation rights would increase in a few years, she should have been satisfied with the 2.5 million yuan share of the adaptation rights - but she knew it would increase!
Wen Ying is not short of money now and is not in a hurry to sell the film and television adaptation rights of "Teenage Idol". It was Yuan Fenghui who proposed to buy it, so Wen Ying could only name the price according to her own ideas.
Yuan Fenghui thought about it carefully. "For TV series, I can give you 5% of the book profits. I estimate that the broadcast rights of youth campus dramas can only be sold for tens of millions. I can't give you 5% of the box office revenue for movies. You know that the bulk of the box office revenue actually goes to the theaters. Whatever is left in Tianjiao's hands, I will give you 5% of this portion of the revenue!"
"That's fine...but I have to include the revenue from the online broadcasting rights."
Youth campus dramas may not make much money on TV, but they are very popular on online platforms!
Wen Ying was holding on to this point tightly, refusing to budge. Yuan Fenghui just found it funny: "I thought you wanted other derivative income, such as DVDs, songs, etc."
Wen Ying was very generous: "No, I've given all the other derivative profits to the company and won't participate in the profit sharing."
Hehe, if we give profits to the company, Wen Ying can still get a share of the money.
Being both the original author and a shareholder in a film and television company is such a great feeling. If I hadn't invested 10 million in Tianjiao and instead rushed to buy a sea view apartment in Shanghai, how could I have made so much money by reposting the same book over and over again?
Wen Ying suddenly became generous, and Yuan Fenghui seemed to be thinking about something.
When Tianjiao first signed the contract for "The Princess' New Clothes" with Hunan Satellite TV, it retained the online broadcasting rights.
Wen Ying seemed to have always cared about this.
Personal computers are becoming increasingly popular, not just desktop computers, but also laptops for many white-collar workers and college students. With the rise in popularity of computers, more people are online, and many people are choosing to watch TV shows on their computers.
But are online broadcasting rights really that valuable?
Rely on advertising?
Still pay.
If you pay, a drama will only cost a few dollars, I wonder if anyone is willing to buy it.
Watching TV shows on a computer is limited by internet speed and the device itself, so the picture quality is still far inferior to what you'd see on a TV screen. The movie-watching experience is even worse, with the internet rife with pirated movies that offer little more than a storyline, not a cinematic aesthetic. And let alone movies with computer-generated special effects, which you can't truly appreciate unless you see them in a theater!
Yuan Fenghui is very familiar with the entertainment industry and can compete with various forces within the circle, but Yuan Fenghui cannot predict the future.
In just a few years, Yuan Fenghui felt that all the insurmountable obstacles had been overcome.
The internet speed is faster, the equipment is newer, and online platforms are charging for genuine products!
Wen Ying chuckled, and Yuan Fenghui thought: This little fox might know something but refuses to tell. Humph, if she doesn't want to tell you, then I'll have to keep a closer eye on the online broadcast rights for the company's dramas from now on!
Yuan Fenghui negotiated the contract with Wen Ying as the director of Tianjiao, and then helped sign the contract as Wen Ying's agent. The identity switch was really smooth.
Wen Ying sold the film and television adaptation rights of "Teenage Idol" to Tianjiao. She herself did not see a penny in cash, but it didn't matter, because Wen Ying would get the money sooner or later.
There is another advantage to selling the adaptation rights to the film and television company in which you have invested: there is no way to falsify the calculation of the adaptation income!
The agreement was signed smoothly and both parties felt they had made a good deal.
Wen Ying returned to school and met the captain of the school basketball team again when passing by the playground.
Originally, Wen Ying just thought that the other person looked familiar and didn't pay any further attention. Suddenly, Xie Qian said that there was someone who looked like Rukawa Kaede. Every time Wen Ying passed by the playground, she would take a second look, trying to find the real-life version of Rukawa Kaede.
The captain of the basketball team, the rich second-generation senior and the talented student in the journalism department, all three think that the other is a strong rival, and all three have the same starting point in pursuing Wen Ying.
Wen Ying looked at the playground a few times, and the rich second-generation senior and the talented man were so heartbroken that they almost broke on the spot.
The captain of the basketball team was extremely happy. He felt that he was ahead of his two competitors and had successfully impressed Wen Ying.
This Aurora Rukawa Kaede thought about it for a long time and decided to strike while the iron is hot and give Wen Ying a ticket to the semi-finals of the Magic City High School Basketball League, hoping to win Wen Ying's heart with his performance on the court.
Closer, closer, Junior Sister Wen Ying is getting closer.
When Rukawa Kaede, a student from the Zhendan school, saw Wen Ying coming out of the corner of his eye, he deliberately knocked the basketball away to block Wen Ying's way.
Next, he only needs to recover the basketball, care about whether Wen Ying is frightened, and then take advantage of the situation to apologize to Wen Ying by giving her the tickets for the semi-finals. This will leave Wen Ying with the most romantic first impression.
The ball flew out as planned, blocking Wen Ying's way.
"Ryukawa Kaede" ran over with his long legs, grabbed the basketball with his long arms, and his movements were as handsome as if the protagonist of a comic book had come in person!
"Classmate, I'm sorry—"
Wen Ying's phone rang, and she interrupted the carefully prepared lines of "Ryukawa Kaede", "Sorry, I have to take a call."
Okay, this is a little different from the script.
But it doesn’t matter, “Ryukawa Kaede” is willing to wait.
Sports does not mean barbarism, he is very gentlemanly.
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Wen Ying's face changed slightly. She didn't bother to say anything to the "Ryukawa Kaede" standing in front of her, and turned around and ran away.
"Ryukawa Kaede" stood there, holding the basketball in one hand and the ticket to the semi-finals in the other, looking at a loss.
——The script wasn’t arranged like this!!
