Chapter 124

Journey to the West is laughing and tears. Zhang Chu is not sure whether he will praise or scold more after he writes the story of Zhu Bajie and Gao Cuilan. But since it is subverting Journey to the West, it must be subverted thoroughly. That love story is originally very romantic and beautiful.

When Zhang Chu finished lunch, before he had time to take a nap, his temporary agent Zhou Kang came over and knocked on the door.

"Is this the house you rented? Are you not planning to live in a dormitory?" Zhou Kang looked at the house and rented this kind of decoration next to Yanda campus. Houses of all sizes are definitely not cheap.

"It should be that both sides have to live in it. No one in the university cares about this."

Zhang Chu has passed the period of youth and is not in the mood to deal with the complicated relationships between roommates, and many things are not convenient in the dormitory.

Although Zhou Kang was Zhang Chu's elder, he was not convenient to say anything after he became a literary agent.

On the contrary, Zhang Chu instructed: "Uncle Zhou, don't report to my dad. If he finds out, he might call me to educate me well."

"Yes, but you still have to go to classes on time every day when you live outside, and you can't skip classes." Zhou Kang didn't want Zhang Chu's identity as a top student, which has become an important label for Zhang Chu.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the venue. Today's film and television copyright trading conference will almost all domestic film and television production companies, and there are also many overseas companies. They may not necessarily reach a deal on site, but they can just make their reputation famous."

After any novel is adapted into a film and television work, it will bring great explosions of audiences and readers, and people will have a stronger acceptance of film and television works. Zhang Chu also hopes that the two books he brought have a good boss, so that he can continuously bring his reputation.

The surge in reputation of lawsuits like the one in front of you cannot last long. New works are constantly being launched, and old works from previous works are also adapted into other forms of works. This is the serious development route.

A horse cannot be fat without night grass, and a person cannot be rich without windfall. Taking a lawsuit is a fortune made by Zhang Chu!

After Zhang Chu locked the door, he drove to the exhibition center with Zhou Kang. He was thinking about what price his two works should be sold. He didn't know the copyrights of film and television at all, and it was easy to suffer losses.

...

On the last day of the bookish China Large Book Fair, most of the people present here were staff from film and television companies, publishing houses, writers' agency companies, and writers' agencies.

In this era when the IP concept is prevalent, writers in any category want to get a share of the pie and sell their works, so that they can gain both fame and fortune.

Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang were not at all mixed in the crowd, they were just a small wave in the sea.

"Huace Film and Television people have contacted our company and said they have ideas about your works. In addition, Kate Media, Chuangyuan, and Phoenix Interactive Entertainment have asked about related matters, so you can rest assured."

The conference was crowded, and Zhang Chu could see that various competitors came from the posters, including online fantasy novels, urban love, campus youth and other themes, as well as contemporary workplace works, suspense works, and horror and supernatural works.

27 key recommended works, including "Psychological Crime", were placed around the exhibition center, and Zhang Chu didn't know which company he would hand over to produce this work in the end.

Although suspense mystery novels are niche in the publishing industry, there are quite a lot of viewers in film and television works, so adaptations of this type of work are very popular.

Since Zhang Chu owns his own literary agency, his "Psychological Crime" does not need to be named Nanhai Publishing Company, but the logo of Yanjing Menglong Culture Media Company.

When the two of them crossed the sea of ​​people and came to the booth of Menglong Culture Media, many people had gathered here.

A middle-aged man in a suit seemed to see a savior. He walked up and grabbed Zhou Kang's arm and said, "Old Zhou, you finally came. I just called you but didn't answer. These are people from film and television companies. They want to ask about the copyright status of "Psychological Crime".

Before he finished speaking, the man saw Zhang Chu beside Zhou Kang again and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "This person must be Zhang Chu. Our company is honored to be your agent."

"This is Mr. Wu from our company." Zhou Kang whispered in Zhang Chu's ear. He was really worried that Zhang Chu would not give face.

Everyone carried the flower sedan chair, and of course Zhang Chu would not do anything unusual in front of everyone. He shook hands with Wu Tong and responded: "I didn't expect this was our first meeting. I will bother Mr. Wu and Uncle Zhou in the future."

Wu Tong whispered to several people: "Now what everyone wants most is "Psychological Crime", among which Huace Film and Television wants two copyrights, and Guangli, Yida, and Haiquan have also taken a fancy to the copyright of the movie. Next to it are Haiquan Film and Television, Huanwen Film and Television, iQiyi, and Tencent Video. They want to buy the copyright of the TV series, and the latter two websites want to film and become online dramas."

"Do they have the conditions to say their own?"

Zhou Kang asked, these large companies are the most stingy, the contracts are the strictest, and the regulations are also rigid, but if they are made, the probability of success is greater than that of small workshops.

"Huace gave a total of RMB 5 million in copyright fees and directly bought out movies and TV."

This number sounds a lot, but Zhang Chu was not knocked unconscious. He frowned and said, "Is IP so valuable now, why did Huace give such a little?"

"He gave it so much. Do you know how much iQiyi gives? The online drama quote is only 1 million yuan."

"This is to send the beggar!" Zhang Chu did not intend to make it an online drama, but if it was broadcast on a TV station, the platform would be larger.

Zhou Kang spread his hands and said helplessly: "Who made you famous now is "Sherlock Detective", but it is impossible for a company in China to shoot this TV series or movie. Although "Psychological Crime" has a good review, it was released only now. It is not certain whether it can be popular."

These companies actually want to make a venture capital investment and take over the copyright when "Psychological Crime" is not popular. Otherwise, after it sells dozens or millions of physical books, the price will definitely not be the case now.

"If the conditions are not good, we don't have to rush to sell it. Let's wait for the price." Zhang Chu didn't want to sell it at a low price so easily. In the past two years, the IPs have been hot, and the price has risen quite sharply.

Wu Tong agreed: "Don't worry, this is related to our commission and will not cause you to suffer any losses. Now let's go in and meet these companies."

Copyright transactions are also a lot of shouting prices and paying back the money by sitting on the ground. It is impossible to achieve it overnight. The contract can be finalized by meeting directly and saying something. Negotiation must be carried out slowly.
Chapter completed!
