Jesse, a representative from British bbc TV, spread his hands, "We are the hometown of Sherlock. The story of "Detective Sherlock" takes place in modern London. Is there anyone who is more suitable for filming this TV series than us?"

"Mr. Turner, our CBS plans to invest tens of millions of dollars, including building studios and shooting outdoors. Zhang, considering CBS's influence in the United States, if the TV series is handed over to us to produce, it will be very beneficial to the sales of the English novel in the United States. We will help introduce it to the largest and best publishing institutions in the United States, and this market is quite broad."

Commercial competition is nothing more than that. Why can a novel without an English version attract so many TV hits?

One is nothing more than a news report flying all over the sky, and the other is because the protagonist is Sherlock Holmes. Everyone in the world knows that there is an amazing detective named Sherlock Holmes. The last reason is because the story is very novel.

"The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" has been filmed many times, and the content that can be filmed has been filmed. Many viewers are well aware of the plot, and it is undoubtedly difficult to rejuvenate.

But now Zhang Chu's book is different. He actually moved Sherlock Holmes to the present. When crime dramas are prevalent and when such a detective appears in the era of advanced technology, can he still solve countless unsolved cases and arrest those crimes?

Holmes is not the focus, living in modern Holmes is the focus!

"Joseph, you actually seduced a young child in this way." Baker, the representative from HBO, began to reveal the shortcomings. "Do you know how much it costs to shoot a TV series? These public TV stations are very fond of the ratings and the reputation of the audience. As long as the ratings are not good, they will immediately cut the drama without mercy. And we hbo film the full season at one time, and then broadcast it slowly on TV, and will not be affected by the ratings."

This is very important for a young writer who needs to become famous. If the first TV adaptation is cut by the TV station, it is very likely that the price of subsequent adaptation rights will be greatly reduced.

Zhang Chu also knew that this was true. When he was watching American dramas before, he often encountered new dramas that performed poorly, and then he was cut in the middle. Some were broadcasted in a hurry to end the matter, and some didn't even have the ending.

Who can be sure that the adaptation of "Sherlock" is as successful as it was in his previous life?

Perhaps Baker's words are a bit sensational. After all, if the copyright of a TV series bought at a high price and the shooting cost is cut directly, it will definitely be a loss. The TV station will not cut it easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

"CBS TV has the widest audience in the United States, with each TV series viewing more than tens of millions, and we also believe that the TV series adapted from this novel will perform well."

"Wait a moment, in terms of audience groups, who can compare with us? Looking around the world, there are not many TV stations that can be compared with our BBC. If it appears on our TV station, it will appear in the rest of the world."

Just like the Sun never set empire, the current BBC also has the confidence to base itself on the UK and spread the world!

However, these old foxes were talking all over the sky, and no one involved the real core of things, that is, how much they were willing to spend to buy "Detective Sherlock".

When talking about copyright and transaction fees, they are all hooligans.

In fact, Zhang Chu came here to gain a lot of experience, and at the same time gave Zhou Kang, Wu Tong and others some time to buffer them, so that they, the literary agents who had never operated international business, quickly searched for copyright transaction fees and various treaties for European and American writers, and tried not to be cheated.

This is probably the model of the first step. Before it was sold in China, I would sell the foreign copyright first. Zhou Kang and the others were very energetic and went abroad directly.

"Gentlemen, I believe any of you TV stations have the ability to produce this TV series, but I'm curious, at what price do you want to buy the TV series adaptation rights?"

"Sherlock" has several plots of cases. If the filming becomes a movie, one of them can only be intercepted, so it is more appropriate to shoot a TV series.

Baker, Joseph, Richard and others looked at each other, worried that their offer would be heard by the other party.

Only then did Zhang Chu realize that Zhou Kang could not count on English, and there was only one translator next to him, which was definitely not reliable.

So he suggested without any haste: "I saw everyone's sincerity, but this is a business act after all, and I have to be responsible for myself. Otherwise, what if you bring an interpreter to talk to my agent tomorrow?"

"Of course, we're happy."

"A good suggestion, today we just came here to join in the fun."

"Then we'll meet again next time!"

These representatives are now just coming to do preliminary contacts and then going back to feedback to the United States or the United Kingdom headquarters.

Perhaps they all underestimated the attractiveness of "Detective Sherlock" and attracted several large TV series production companies. Now it seems that it is definitely unrealistic to want to make low-priced TV series adaptation rights, and they are not ready for a price war.

...

Representatives from several foreign TV stations just came, and the media outside gathered like sharks that smelled fishy. Even the film and television companies that originally wanted to buy the copyright of "Psychological Crime" put down their things and became onlookers.

After all, compared with them, bbc, cbs, hbo, and fox are the top players in the world's entertainment industry. Now Gao Wan suddenly came to the novice village, and the goal must be quite large!

"What are they doing here?"

"Who knows, I must have bought the copyright. I don't know if I have a crush on "Psychological Sin" or "Detective Sherlock".

"Old Wu, what's going on with you? Secretly transfer the copyright abroad?"

"At least, I'll give you a sure letter, what is your target price."

Now Wu Tong from Menglong Culture Company is also a little puzzled. He originally thought that selling a copyright of 5 million yuan was the highest price for a newcomer. Now with the help of foreign TV stations, it is not difficult to start the price on the ground.

He comforted and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. The copyright of Zhang Chu's works has not been authorized yet, so please don't worry."

At the entire film and television copyright fair, all media, all writers and even all film and television companies focused their attention on Menglong Culture. Who would have thought that an unknown small company would become the focus of the audience because of the work of a newcomer?

But this is not an ordinary newcomer, but a super newcomer with a reputation all over the world!
