Entertainment Godfather

After hanging up the phone, Yasuyuki Hirata's expression was very serious.

After Hirata Yasuyuki, the vice president asked slightly nervously: "President, how did things go?"

Hirata Yasuyuki sighed and said: "The other party is not a short-sighted person. Even if I offered 15% of the shares to tempt him, he did not agree immediately. Fortunately, things can still turn around. Next, you will personally be responsible for negotiating with the people they sent. , we must firmly tie this person, it is related to the future development of our company.”

"President, I don't understand."

The vice president frowned and said: "Although Mr. Theking is very important, is it really worth paying a large amount of shares to win him over? After all, he only has two works in the West. Even in the future..."

"madness."

Yasuyuki Hirata interrupted the vice president and sneered:

"Do you think I haven't considered this? If it were just a Theking, I certainly wouldn't use so many shares to win over the other party. I would carefully consider even 5% of the shares, but don't forget the true identity of Theking. , he is the most talented writer in the history of Luoyang and Longguo. He owns one of the top five publishing companies in Longguo. He can not only write works that are popular all over the world, but also make waves in the country. How big is the market in that country? Let’s be clear, he is a rare genius throughout history, and there is always no harm in getting close to such a genius!”

"Even so..."

"Yes, I am betting on his future. He is a young man who is less than thirty years old this year. I think there will be a place for him in the forest of the future world. If my bet is right, Kadokawa Publishing House will dominate Japan’s publishing industry is not a problem!”

The vice president was thoughtful.

Indeed, anyone who knows Luoyang will not doubt this person's future potential, and he has just investigated a series of deeds about Luoyang. This is a person worth fighting for...

"I see!"

The vice president gritted his teeth and said: "I will let him become a member of Kadokawa Publishing House. Even if he invites a wolf into the house, he will be a hungry wolf who can take our chickens and dogs to heaven!"

"No, he's a dragon."

Hirata Yasuyuki smiled slightly: "There is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom, which says that when encountering a storm, one will transform into a dragon. I like the culture of the Dragon Kingdom and this sentence very much. I think he is the dragon I am looking for."

Shuimu Culture, boss’s office.

After Luoyang hung up the phone, he decided to let Hua Qi talk about cooperation with Kadokawa Publishing House. The cooperation between this company and him has always been very stable and efficient. It is a good partner. There is no problem in continuing to contact them.

Hua Qi quickly came to the office.

She seemed surprised by Kadokawa Publishing House's wooing of Luoyang: "The third shareholder, is this considered a huge investment?"

Luoyang smiled and said: "You have spent a lot of money, but it is not enough, so your goal in this negotiation is to get a higher share. If successful, the publication of our works in Japan will be very smooth in the future, which is beneficial to us. cultural output.”

That's right.

It’s cultural export!

In the past life, only foreign countries exported Chinese culture. Japanese cartoons, Korean TV series, American blockbusters, etc., all had a lot of influence on the Chinese people. Through these works, the Chinese people understood the culture of these countries, and some even produced Hari, Ha The story of the United States, Kazakhstan and South Korea, so Luoyang plans to let the Dragon Kingdom export its culture to the outside world in this life.

Comic "Dragon Ball", Dragon Kingdom background.

Comic "Detective Conan", background of Dragon Kingdom.

Of course, it is difficult for Luoyang to orientalize works such as "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter" with strong Western elements. Once these works are changed to an oriental background, it is unknown whether they can continue to be successful, but Even so, he will carefully add some oriental elements to it, just to let foreigners understand the Dragon Kingdom better.

Patriotism?

Who doesn’t have some patriotic feelings?

Although Luoyang is not an angry young man, he is still very happy to do what he can for his country. This is also a common value of Chinese people in previous generations.

"I see!"

Hua Qi nodded heavily.

Luoyang knocked on the table and continued: "If the agreement is reached, they will represent the major copyright issues of "Harry Potter". When the time comes, you will tell them my request. No matter which film and television company finally gets the "Harry Potter" For the film and television rights of "Lippert", we have to adopt a box office sharing method instead of selling the rights directly. I can also provide high-quality scripts to the film and television companies."

"Biotake share?"

Hua Qi did not expect that Luoyang would adopt such a copyright management method.

Luoyang smiled and said: "I am optimistic about the movie adapted from this novel. It will definitely be as popular as the novel."

In the previous life, Time Warner invested heavily to put "Harry Potter" on the screen. In 2001, the first film premiered at a box office of US$313 million, setting a record of being released simultaneously in more than 4,000 theaters around the world and becoming the world's highest-grossing children's film. Waiting for 8 records in film history, the box office of each movie then skyrocketed, and DVDs, toys, computer games and other derivative products also became popular around the world. On November 18, 2005, Harry Potter children's clothing was released simultaneously with the movie. The Ganghui Plaza store alone sold more than 2,200 pieces in one afternoon. Jewelry, watches, gifts and stationery items all set off a rush for Ham fans.

In your past life, how many people in China have read the original work of "Harry Potter"?

Obviously this number will not be directly proportional to the number of people who have watched the "Harry Potter" movies. Although novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long are very popular, most people know about them through movies and TV shows. Form, this is why Luoyang has always paid more attention to copyright development.

In short, "Harry Potter" is a huge treasure chest.

If he handed over the various copyrights of "Harry Potter" at the buyout price, it would be a waste of money, so no matter what form of copyright, he had to operate it in the form of a share.

He believed someone would be willing.

Because Theking in this life has the foundation laid by "Sherlock Holmes", his reputation is definitely not comparable to that of J.K. Rowling who just wrote "Harry Potter" in his previous life, and the "Sherlock Holmes" TV series has achieved unprecedented success in the West. It has proven itself to a certain extent. Under such circumstances, the success of the "Harry Potter" series of movies is almost foreseeable.

Hua Qi nodded.

"I understand, boss. I'm going to set off in the next few days to contact people from Kadokawa Publishing House. It just so happens that the foundation's affairs have begun to go through judicial procedures, so no one needs to keep an eye on it for the time being."
