Chapter 968 Get the Copyright
Chapter 968 Get the copyright
The vice presidents of many film companies frowned. Lin Feng's price is too cheap. Although in essence, Lin Feng can offer a copyright buyout fee of US$1 million for each film involved and a 5% profit share, which is already quite good. However, considering the profits created once the filming of "Infinite Horror" starts, as well as the copyrights of movies and games, this price is very low. What's more, Lin Feng also asked for the copyright of related product development, which made many companies even more upset.
Thinking about it this way, the price is naturally too low and too dishonest. They earn so little!
Lin Feng naturally understood everyone's thoughts.
"Everyone, I hope you understand that the movies involved in my novel are familiar to everyone. It can be said that they are very familiar to all audiences." Lin Feng said slowly.
The vice presidents of many film companies frowned, not knowing what Lin Feng wanted to say.
"If you all feel that my price is too low and my sincerity is insufficient, then I can only regretfully say that we cannot reach an agreement to dedicate a wonderful TV series to all audiences." Lin Feng said helplessly.
Many vice presidents were taken aback when they heard this. They didn't expect that Lin Feng would...reject it so readily. Could it be that Lin Feng doesn't care about this at all? Everyone can't figure it out, and they can't figure it out.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Everyone, I just reminded you that these movies are familiar to everyone. It can be said that from the actors, to the scenes, to the development of the plot, the audience is quite familiar and understands them very well. Please allow me to make such a bold assumption. , If I am filming a TV series, I invite these original actors back, restore their costumes and restore the scenes in the play, just change the name, what do you think the audience will think?" Lin Fengchong said with many vice presidents spreading their hands.
Everyone frowned. If this is the case, then for the audience, this is undoubtedly the original work. After all, for the audience, the deepest memory is the sensory stimulation. The original crew of the original movie will be on the scene, even if the name is slightly different, for the audience, it is the original. In this way, it can be said that Lin Feng does not need to pay any copyright fees at all.
Of course, this involves a premise, that is, the salary of these actors. These are all movies, many of them are big productions, some of the actors are paid a lot of money, can Lin Feng afford them? But looking at Lin Feng's attitude, I am afraid that Lin Feng has been planning to invite the original crew of these original movies to shoot TV series from the very beginning.
Thinking of this possibility, the vice presidents of many film companies took a deep breath. With film actors and techniques,
It's too exaggerated to shoot a TV series, it's incredible. I'm afraid only Lin Feng can do such a crazy thing, it's too crazy!
"Mr. Lin, even so, if there is a formal authorization, I believe the audience will be more receptive, and it will be good for your follow-up related development, isn't it?" said the vice president of Fox Films.
"That's right, that's why I offered $1 million per year and 5% profit share. I believe this price is something other companies can't give you. After all, most of these movies are outdated, and no other company will buy them. Copyright." Lin Feng said firmly.
The vice presidents of many film companies nodded helplessly upon hearing this. It's true that, while these films were hits at one time, they're inevitably outdated and out of date. And these movies are not like the 007 series, and unlike Disney animations, they have always had a strong vitality. Once these movies are shown, most of them will disappear with the wind, and they will only appear occasionally in some future programs similar to movie history. talk about.
Therefore, Lin Feng's price is not low! But thinking of the possible profits of "Infinite Horror", the vice presidents of many film companies are really unwilling to sell all the copyrights of the company so cheaply.
Lin Feng frowned slightly. Although it is possible to shoot without copyright, it is impossible to develop related products. This is a rather large market with considerable profits, and Lin Feng does not want to give up.
"So, everyone, why don't we reach an agreement. Since I will be preparing to shoot for the protagonists of their respective countries based on the "Intercontinental Squad" that appeared in the novel this time, it can be said that more film materials will be needed, and at present I only buy 30 film materials are obviously not enough now." Lin Feng said.
Everyone was taken aback, not understanding what Lin Feng meant.
"Everyone, you should know that with the promotion of the "Infinite Horror" novel, many readers have rented discs when reading the novel, or downloaded the movie online, and watched it again to understand the plot of the movie. I think this should be a business opportunity for everyone. We can cooperate. I will choose movies according to the needs of the TV plot, and then you can select 2-3 movies of the same type for bundled screening. Then I will launch a series Activities, such as players who guess which movie it is, will be able to get certain rewards, for example, lucky viewers can be selected to visit the live shooting of a TV series, or have the honor to play an extra in a TV series." Lin Feng said with a smile.
When everyone heard it and thought about it carefully, it was a good idea. In this way, many of their films will undoubtedly create profits for the company again, and can rejuvenate for a second time. Anyway, these films are stored in the warehouse, and they are still in stock, and they can be shown for screening, which is more or less a little income.
"How is it, everyone? Are you satisfied now?" Lin Feng asked.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and nodded. They are very satisfied with Lin Feng's bargaining chips, especially as they can promote other films of the company to be released again, which is undoubtedly a very satisfying thing.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng signed a copyright buyout agreement with the vice presidents of many film companies, and immediately held a press conference to announce that he had won all the film copyrights involved in the novel. And announced that the TV version of "Infinite Horror" will start filming in the near future. Moreover, Lin Feng also announced that he would use as many characters as possible from the original film to participate in the filming of the TV version of "Infinite Horror", and announced that the scripts of "Intercontinental Squads" from various countries will be called for, and the winner will receive 500,000 US dollars Bonuses and the right to participate in the filming of TV dramas.
Hearing this news, the whole world was shocked.
For many media, Lin Feng was able to win many film copyrights so smoothly, which in itself surprised many media. According to them, these film companies should take the opportunity to make a fortune this time. Unexpectedly, many film companies agreed only for a mere $1 million and a 5% profit share, which really surprised many Western media.
Of course, what was even more unexpected was that Lin Feng actually announced that he would use the original crew from the original movie to participate in the filming. This kind of courage is simply jaw-dropping. You know, most of these movies are shot in Hollywood, and the actors and techniques are all from Hollywood. Lin Feng actually wants to mobilize Hollywood movie actors to shoot TV dramas. This is a big deal! And it was filmed all over the world!
But it is undeniable that Lin Feng's actions made all the readers happy. The "Infinite Horror", which they have been looking forward to a lot, will finally be filmed into a TV series. It's finally going to be made into a TV series!
Immediately, enthusiastic readers from various countries began to adapt the scripts with the "Intercontinental Squad" as the protagonists based on the original "Infinite Horror". If you adopt it, you can also get a bonus of 500,000 US dollars, which is very tempting.
Of course, not only that, but Lin Feng also announced that he will develop "Infinite Horror" as a stand-alone game and an online game. All kinds of rationalization suggestions, and even many talents in the industry volunteered to join the development team about "Infinite Horror", and claimed that they were willing to start from scratch, from the bottom.
For this situation, it was undoubtedly beyond Lin Feng's expectations, beyond the expectations of "Second World". It is undoubtedly even more incredible that they are willing to condescend to start from the bottom.
Of course, there is only one reason for this, and that is everyone's enthusiasm for "Infinite Horror", or in other words, their optimism about "Infinite Horror". Such a game needs to be developed with the same groundbreaking thinking as "Infinite Horror", and it will be an epoch-making game. If you are lucky enough to join this game development team, even if the current salary is low, it will be a rare opportunity for them to experience their life experience, which will be of great benefit to everyone's future development of.
Of course, for the "Second World", there is a shortage of talents. After all, the stand-alone game and the online version of "Infinite Horror" must be developed at the same time. The existing third game development department, Wu Gang's department only has more than 200 people , which is not enough. Just take this opportunity to search for talents.
You bastard, you have poached all the talents, what should we do? ——Many domestic game companies said indignantly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they cursed, they couldn't change this fact. It is undoubtedly a very sad thing that excellent talents cannot be retained despite the same or even higher remuneration. But this cannot be blamed on those technical talents. It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. The "Second World" is clearly more promising, and there's no reason why they shouldn't come.
There was good news from South Africa just as the Second World held a sensational recruitment drive.
