Chapter 47 Movie Copyright 【Please recommend and collect】

In addition to the mythical movie universe, Flame Pictures has also invested in the production of many fantasy fairy tale movies and comedy movies.

This company's positioning is very precise, aiming at the box office, and the awards are based on fate.

It's best if you can get the award, but it doesn't matter if you don't get it. Anyway, you are not trying to win the award.

Now what Qin Chuan is more puzzled about is why this film company is interested in "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong".

No matter how you look at it, this is not suitable to be adapted into a movie, even if it is made into a TV series, it has to challenge the nerves of the audience.

"Could it be that you want to throw money at me and tell me not to continue writing?"

Qin Chuan, who had a big brain hole, couldn't stop at all, and all kinds of weird ideas popped up.

Maybe there is such a possibility.

Lie Yan Pictures disliked that they abused Yang Jian too much, which affected Erlang God's heroic, powerful and tall image, and would destroy the audience's goodwill towards Erlang God Yang Jian, resulting in lower box office and so on.

Obviously this is just Qin Chuan's wishful thinking, normal people would not write like that.

I wrote too many novels, which affected my daily thinking.

For people in the film and television industry, weekends simply do not exist!

Not even 2 minutes after Qin Chuan's friend application was approved, the producer assistant sent a message.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, on behalf of Lie Yan Pictures, I would like to ask if you still have the right to adapt the film "Life Grows to Hate Water and Changdong"?"

Yang Yang's head is as big as a bucket now.

The filming of Erlang Shen's origin movie was delayed, and several screenwriters even recommended a novel together with the male protagonist, thinking that this online novel would be of great help and inspiration to script creation.

The producer saw that it was not an option to procrastinate like this, so he had to contact Qin Chuan to see if he could start the movie as soon as possible, otherwise the production cycle would be too late.

Qin Chuan replied by typing: "The copyright is still there."

"It's like this. We happened to have a movie about the origin story of Erlang God Yang Jian. Both the screenwriter and the lead actor thought that part of the plot and setting in "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" will be closer to the movie."

"Oh, do you want to buy the film adaptation rights of this novel?" Qin Chuan quickly understood what it meant.

He really didn't expect that he wrote this book just to gain popularity, but in the end he would simply occupy the magpie's nest. The novel will soon become the basis of that movie!

Yang Yang didn't know how to evaluate those three screenwriters. They couldn't even finish a commercial movie script and had to ask for help from foreign aid. What's the use of asking them!

But the producer didn't speak, and an assistant himself couldn't even reveal what he meant.

"That's right, we want to buy the film adaptation rights of this novel. Of course, the film will not be made according to the novel. According to the concept, we will only excerpt the fragments of Yang Jian's childhood, apprenticeship, and saving his mother in Fu Xijing. There’s this flashback approach.”

The novel has so much content, and it's also quite cruel. The movie is to film the struggle of Erlang Shen Yang Jian to survive and become stronger in the prehistoric period.

Nothing else is involved at all.

I bought the whole novel just for a short plot. After all, novels cannot be cut into small pieces and sold separately like pork!
Of course, the origin movie is to shoot these things, and it is absolutely impossible to shoot the plot in the novel.

If we really want to film it, the cost of hundreds of millions will be wasted.

It's not that "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" is not good-looking, but that it is not suitable for audiences to spend money to watch it in cinemas.

Qin Chuan replied readily: "As long as the conditions are right, of course we can trade."

It's not good to keep the copyright in your hands, it's good to have a part of the content filmed!
Raging Flame Films is a reliable company, basically it will not mess up, and it is well-known in the industry and among the audience.

If the film adaptation rights were really sold to Lie Yan, it would be equivalent to holding a golden thigh!

The mythological movie universe is so popular that the whole world knows it. If the main plot of its new film is adapted from an online novel, then Qin Chuan doesn't have to worry about exposure at all.

Publishing, audiobooks, TV shows all have to come to you.

As for the suitable conditions, it depends on Qin Chuan's mood.

Anyway, it is impossible for Lieyan Pictures to directly use the plot from "Life and Hate", as it would turn into huge scandal!

How many competitors waited for Lie Yan Pictures to make a mistake, but unexpectedly they were still creating materials out of thin air.

"Mr. Qin, if you have time, you can come to our headquarters building as soon as possible to find out the specific situation. Some things can't be explained on the Internet."

"Then what are the conditions you gave, let's talk about it first."

Qin Chuan is not in a hurry anyway, as long as the novel is here and updated slowly.

Yang Yang typed: "We are going to use 500 million to buy out the film adaptation rights of your novel. This novel will be used in the shooting of one or more films, and we will sign your name at the end of the film."

This price is sky-high for Qin Chuan, who has a bank card balance of less than 1 yuan!
But he was not ready to agree.

The budget of commercial blockbusters shot by Raging Flame Films starts at 3 million yuan. Like "Yang Jian", the filming cost is 3 million yuan, and the promotional funds are 2 million yuan. The total production cost has reached a terrifying 5 million Chinese dollars!
If the box office is less than 15 billion, it will lose money.

"The 500 million Chinese currency is only signed for this movie. If you need the plot of "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" in the future, you will pay separately. It is impossible to buy the trilogy once. In addition, the signature cannot be placed at the end. It must Put it at the beginning, even if it's a short time."

Qin Chuan was counting on this movie to advertise.

At the end of the movie, the audience is gone, who will watch the subtitles!
Even if they are waiting for the Easter egg break, they will not read the subtitles seriously, but chat about the plot or watch their mobile phones.

He knew that he was asking prices all over the sky, and there was nothing wrong with fighting for benefits.

It depends on how the flame film industry will counter the price later.

The other party already has a screenwriter, all they need is this core content!
Yang Yang earnestly began to sell miserably: "Mr. Qin, don't look at the large investment of our film, in fact, most of the cost is used for shooting and production. The lead actor Lin Xin's salary is not much, your copyright fee is too high , has exceeded our budget.”

"It's not my salary, it's just the cost of filming and production. It's not that I need to get 1500 million for a movie, but this one only needs 500 million."

This price is actually a low level among the IP prices of online novels.

Why do internet gods earn so much?

You can't earn tens of millions from subscriptions, mainly by selling copyrights.

A film and television copyright or game copyright can cost tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

Some people don't sell copyrights at all, but start their own studios or companies, convert copyrights into investments, and share in film and television.

"To be honest, I can't make the decision. Otherwise, let's make an appointment. We, Producer Liu, will come to the headquarters on Sunday afternoon to check the revised script. This script is written according to the plot in the novel. If Producer Liu If he is satisfied, he will discuss it with you, do you think three o'clock in the afternoon will work?"

For the copyright fee of several tens of millions, it is worthwhile for Qin Chuan to sacrifice his weekend rest time.

Even if the negotiation breaks down, you can go to the film company to learn more.

So he replied: "Okay, you can leave a contact information, I will call you when I arrive at your company."
