What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 205: Big money
www.lnmao.org, the fastest updated chapter of what to do if the heroine ran away from the book!
Chu Ge feels that this kind of thing is not that fast. When people set up a project and need to evaluate it, it will take several days just to read your book carefully, not to mention a lot of things that will follow.
But it happens to be a bit of a coincidence. . .
In fact, Lao Zhu could have been more efficient at the beginning.
Because he transferred Cai Zhijian's film and television company back to his own name in a matter of seconds. With this foundation, he can buy the copyright himself. The price will be whatever the other party quotes, and he will just throw it away. It doesn't matter if you press the bottom of the position, just repay the favor to Chu Ge.
Finally, Zhu Mengmeng, who was still in the hospital bed and had not been discharged from the hospital, reminded her father: "I don't think they want money. If they sell it to press the warehouse, they probably don't want to sell it. They obviously want to shoot it as soon as possible. Dad Your company can't shoot this."
Lao Zhu recalled what Chu Ge meant, and it was indeed like this. He himself also promised that "it would be a shame for me to find a small workshop."
So I gave up the idea of buying it myself and invested instead.
In order to promote "IP" to old friends, he also deliberately learned about Chu Ge's book, and unexpectedly found that it was much simpler than originally imagined...
The performance of the book itself is very good, so forget it. The key is that it is actually famous outside the circle. Outside the circle, the two authors seem to be more popular than the book...
Lao Zhu immediately became happy and directly dialed the number of an old friend: "Lao Xie, haven't you been worried about finding a good project for the past two years? Why don't I recommend an Internet IP to you? Like?"
"Internet IP..." Lao Xie knew very well: "A male channel and a female channel?"
"...male video."
"In the past two years, those who filmed male IPs have suffered a lot of compensation. I think it’s better to forget it... If it’s a female channel, we can still consider it..."
"Aren't there also some that are popular...such as Qing Na?"
"Lao Zhu, you don't understand this. It is an ambitious work of the Renjia Group. It is carefully crafted and not willing to invest. The quality is extraordinary. And that book is a rare male channel that focuses on the relationship between the main characters. The story network, instead of upgrading the battle as the main line, is much easier to change than the average male channel... This is also the reason why the female channel is easier to change than the male channel. In addition, the main audience of TV is still female... What is the IP of your male channel? Why don't you try asking those who make animations that might be more suitable?"
Lao Zhu knows that it is difficult for practitioners to cheat these days. Everyone knows their business. This is not an era where just brushing up recommendation votes and blowing up a few PPTs is enough. But he became more confident and said with a smile: "The one I want to recommend to you meets your requirements very well."
Lao Xie was not very interested, so he reluctantly said, "Oh? Tell me."
"This is a group portrait novel. Although it is also an upgraded main line, the color is relatively light. It mainly talks about various characters... By the way, the most popular among them is a heroine-type character."
"Oh?" Lao Xie said with a smile: "Are you so good at boasting that group dramas can be popular on the Internet? You are also writing a heroine on a male channel... Could it be that some nephew wrote a book about street crime? Let me fool you. What is the highest popularity index? Is the character’s popularity in double digits..."
Lao Zhu only used five words to explain everything: "Top eight on the best-selling list!"
"Huh..." Lao Xie was stunned for a moment.
This time I really got a little interested. Everyone knows that group portraits are difficult to write. There are many people who claim to want to write group portraits, but most of them don’t even know their grandma. If you can write in the top few, I guess you are really good at writing.
And there is actually a heroine-type character who is the most popular... As long as Lao Zhu is not boasting, it seems that we can really do some research.
Lao Zhu started to add more emphasis: "And the problem you mentioned about female viewers, in fact, quite a few female viewers know about this book. It has its own traffic, although it is not much compared to the traffic required by TV. It’s not easy. Ordinary idols may not be more popular than them..."
"Huh? You seem to be making me laugh, Lao Zhu..."
"Go online and look at Love in Early Autumn. It's quite popular, and the man in it is the author..."
Lao Xie: "???"
He has actually heard of Love in Early Autumn... because his son is a marriage-phobic gamer who doesn't even go on blind dates. However, he is actually willing to go on a blind date during this period. When he asked, he said it was because he was so sweetened by Love in Early Autumn that he yearned for it. In love...
Of course, Lao Zhu is exaggerating that he is more popular than idols, but it is true that there is indeed a certain amount of traffic outside the circle. Lao Xie asked: "After talking for a long time, don't tell me that this couple wants to debut?"
Lao Zhu was startled: "No, no, I'm sure there is no such thing."
"You can't really recommend it to me because you really think it has potential, right?"
"Why not? I am very optimistic about it. Not only do I recommend it, I also invest, at least half of it." Lao Zhu smiled and said: "What, I won't cheat you?"
Lao Xie became serious and said, "Wait a moment, I'll let the risk control department evaluate it."
Lao Xie's film and television company is well-known in China. It is not a grassroots team that makes decisions casually. Logically speaking, this evaluation process will take a long time. Coincidentally, when he asked the following for evaluation, the answer he got was: "Mr. Xie, the copyright department of the other party has recommended this book to us before, and we have evaluated it."
Old Xie asked curiously: "What a coincidence...what's the result?"
“The team gave it an A rating... It’s good in all aspects, it meets our needs and plans, and there’s no censorship risk. But the main problem is that the investment is too high if we want to achieve good results. The risk is very high. We put it aside after studying it..."
Lao Xie nodded slightly. This is a problem that even good male videos cannot avoid. No matter how good your book is, it is useless. The scenes are huge and there are many special effects, which makes the cost too high and the risk too great. Once you try to control costs, the result will most likely lose its charm and no one will even look at it.
To put it this way, Lao Zhu really didn’t cheat anyone. It’s not easy for his own team to get an A rating. It’s not a problem with the work itself that it was shelved. And when it comes to "in line with the plan"... this means that it is in line with the annual shooting plan that their company has previously formulated, including ancient costumes, fairy tales, group portraits... isn't this delivered to your door?
Cost issue... Lao Zhu promised half of the investment, and the risks were shared evenly... Although Lao Xie doubted that if he followed this budget, Lao Zhu might not be able to spend half of the investment... It doesn't matter, we are not just looking for one investor. Yes, Lao Zhu finally has some reassurance...
Whether it is filmed or not, according to this evaluation and analysis, it should be valuable to get the copyright first... For the huge shooting budget, buying a copyright is just a piece of cake.
When Lao Xie thought of this, he waved his hand and directly rejected the evaluation department's suggestion of shelving: "Go and inquire, we want this copyright. By the way, it's not just film and television rights. As long as the other party is not a lion, try to win it. Full copyright!"
With a simple decision from the big leader, the bill that might have been put on hold for a lifetime was started immediately.
This is the difference between Lao Zhu bringing investment and asking friends to recommend it, and the company's copyright department working hard to push it out. Even if the work itself is excellent, top-down promotion and regular evaluation and review, it is obviously not a concept or a result. ……
Inquiry, quotation, counter-offer... After two or three rounds of negotiation, the editor's notice came to Chu Ge: "Chu Ge, Chu Ge, our current quotation is three million for the full copyright. After five years, the other party agreed, and you need to agree, and it will happen!"
This is the author’s right to know and to veto, and that’s all. He has no part in the negotiation process... This is the result of many authors’ collective efforts.
In other words, this three million is just a drop in capital, but for the author, it is really a huge sum of money... and it will only be sold for five years, so this condition is really okay.
However, Chu Ge was indifferent to the huge sum of three million, and only made one request: "I must participate in the adaptation of the script, otherwise it will not be sold."
The editor held it back for a long time and only replied with three words, completely destroying the image of the cute girl: "Fuck! Awesome!"

Note: Directors, screenwriters, stars, etc. that may appear in movies and TV shows are purely fictional. There is no need to look for real-life prototypes. They are indeed purely made-up. It's just that writing is one of the main lines of the male protagonist's career, so it is inevitable that these things are needed, and the plot does not account for a big part... There is also no need to match up with Pingzi. Pingzi has never written a group portrait, nor has he expected to make a film or TV show, but he is looking forward to anime, but it's a pity. So many books have never been completed...
