Shi Yu stood up from his editor-in-chief's office and walked slowly towards Zhuang Yuan's office.
Seeing the author sell the TV adaptation rights, to be honest, Shi Yu was a little envious and a little depressed.
When he learned that a film and television company came to buy the rights to adapt his novel, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep well for several days. Who knew that in the end, there would be no news at all.
Although he won't get a penny from selling the adaptation rights, outsiders don't know about it. In the eyes of outsiders, it's like he has sold his own copyright, which will make him very proud.
What makes him depressed now is that he has boasted so much, but who knows that he can’t sell it!
In fact, if it didn’t sell, then it didn’t sell. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Copyright prices and contract details may lead to a breakdown in negotiations.
But who would have thought that just as his side was silenced, the company sold the adaptation rights of two novels, and sold them before his.
Or it’s a novel written by the writer I own.
The copyright of Shi Yu was not sold, and Ningxia was also involved.
Ningxia was very happy when she learned that Yongsheng Entertainment had approached Qidian to buy the TV adaptation rights for the book "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
But who would have thought that they only gave a mere 200,000.
"To send away beggars."
Ningxia muttered when he heard the price.
Would Ningxia sell the TV adaptation rights of this book for just 200,000 yuan?
She would rather keep it and not sell it than give it away at such a low price.
At worst, I can just set up a film and television company and shoot the film myself.
To be honest, it is not easy to film this novel and make it a good hit, after all, it is a military TV series.
If Ningxia wants to adapt this film without being criticized, it will have to find connections to contact the army for cooperation.
In fact, the prices for novel adaptation rights during this period were not very high. After all, we had not yet entered the era of big IP.
The one million quoted by Qidian is indeed a bit high. If it is a novel like "Ghost Lights Up the Lamp" which has been published and has a large readership, selling it for one million is reasonable.
After all, the current price of novel copyright is around 30,000 to 300,000 to 500,000 yuan. Ningxia's entry into the million-level market does scare the entertainment companies a bit.
Even so, considering the popularity of this book, a bid of 200,000 is really stingy.
Yongsheng Entertainment saw that Qidian was unwilling to give in, so they finally raised the price by another 50,000. Yongsheng Entertainment also did not expect Qidian to ask for one million at the first moment.
This led to Yongsheng Entertainment finally giving up.
This order can only be dropped.
Actually, this is where the matter ends.
But who would have thought,
The negotiators from Yongsheng Entertainment were not idle after they returned. They complained about Qidian and were very unethical in spreading the word that Qidian was raising the price and was too ruthless.
This has caused all the film and television companies that had ideas about Qiidian novels to give up.
For film and television companies now, there are so many novels on novel websites. If you don’t sell, you can just go to another website and buy another novel. At this time, they still have an indifferent attitude.
Moreover, at this time, novel adaptation is just an experiment for film and television companies, and they will not spend a lot of money to buy copyrights.
After all, the average star's fee per episode is only around three to five thousand. Of course, this does not include A-list stars, but they are not much higher.
Those unknown little actors, even if they play the leading role in a TV series, can only get a salary of one or two thousand per episode.
Even for costume dramas, the production cost of one episode is only around 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. Assuming that a drama has 30 episodes, the highest revenue of a drama by the time it is broadcast will not reach 2 million yuan.
This also leads to the fact that these people would not spend a million to buy a novel adaptation. After all, before it is filmed, no one knows whether the audience will like it. It is not worth it to spend so much money to sell the copyright now.
A film and television company approached me because Qidian’s novels have a great influence now.
Qidian is now almost the only one in the market, and each novel on Qidian is more popular and more novel than the last. With the increase in the themes of Qidian novels, it has also in effect opened the IP era ahead of time.
In the past, when online novels were produced on an assembly line, film and television companies didn’t take online novels seriously at all.
In the past, in their eyes, online novels were not up to par, and only those novels published as physical books could catch their attention.
But with Qidian's bold moves, these people gradually changed their minds.
I also gradually saw the potential and popularity of online novels.
In particular, the commotion caused by the two published novels "Ghost Lights" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" paved the way.
Yongsheng Entertainment really didn't hold back this time, and this incident even made the headlines on Weibo.
Using Weibo has become a fashion now, and more and more people are used to using Weibo to record their lives.
It also makes Weibo more and more popular.
The reason why this Weibo post was able to become a hot search headline so quickly is of course because of the fame of Yongsheng Entertainment and Qidian. It would be strange if it didn't attract attention.
Shocking! Is Qidian's copyright genuine or just an exorbitant price?
Ningxia, who usually doesn't pay much attention to Weibo, knew the news as soon as it appeared on the hot search.
You don't need to ask to know who wrote this Weibo. Ningxia was so angry when he saw this news.
I immediately thought of removing this trending search and letting Yongsheng Entertainment experience what it means to be the boss’s confidence.
But it only lasted a few seconds, and Ningxia soon gave up the idea.
As soon as this incident hit the headlines, Ningxia received a call from Xiao Zichen.
Just like the game company, Xiao Zichen also found an actual manager for Weibo.
Ye Feng,
This is the Weibo CEO that Ningxia found, and his profile is also extremely dazzling.
Xiao Zichen has been on 1+1 during this period and hasn't really paid much attention to Weibo.
When Ye Feng took over Weibo, Xiao Zichen had already told him to follow Qidian.
Qidian made the headlines here, and immediately called the boss Xiao Zichen.
Ye Feng made this call just to ask his boss whether he wanted to remove this hot search on Weibo.
Xiao Zichen, who originally wanted to withdraw directly, paused and changed his mind. Holding the mobile phone, he paused on Jiao Bo's name, and finally chose to call Ningxia.
Xiao Zichen had learned his lesson after the last incident, and now he understood that he had crossed Ningxia's bottom line by making decisions on his own.
Only later did he realize that his actions were very disrespectful to Ningxia.
Think about it from another perspective. If it were him, he would also be unhappy.
When Ningxia received the call, she had already seen the hot search on Weibo at that time. At this time, Xiao Zichen called her; she knew why without asking.
If you have the privilege to use Ningxia, you are stupid, but you can't just press it. After all, Weibo has just established itself.
In fact, there was an example in the previous life for reference, which was to replace it with other hot searches.
But this road is not feasible in Ningxia.
But if you press it directly to kill it, the backdoor will be too obvious.
