Chapter 420
"Teacher Xiao Zhang, please stay!"
A strange middle-aged man walked over quickly, picked up a business card and said, "It's a bit presumptuous, let me introduce myself. I am Zhang Jian from Horgos Yuexing Film and Television Media Co., Ltd. I wonder if Teacher Xiao Zhang is available now?"
Horgos almost captured the entire entertainment industry, and many film producers come from this inconspicuous small place because they have unique tax and policy benefits.
Among the mainstream domestic film companies and celebrity-agent film and television companies, more than half have chosen to register in Horgos, with a total of more than 600 companies, including Light, Huayi, Bona, LeTV, Huace, Huanrui Century, Yaolai, etc.
What’s even more funny is that more than 100 film and television companies are registered on the 8th floor of the inspection business building of the Horgos City Cooperation Supporting Area. At first glance, I thought that the floor was full of stars, but in fact they were all leather bag companies!
Where is the celebrity area of the Belt and Road Initiative? Companies who want tax reductions have registered their registration in Horgos, a city where 99% of Chinese people don’t know where they are.
Zhang Chu took the business card and looked at it, then put it in the inner pocket of the small suit, and replied: "Mr. Zhang, you are polite. If you have something to say, don't be polite. We might be a family eight hundred years ago."
"Yes, I can't write two Zhang Lai in one stroke. Teacher Xiao Zhang, then I'll just say it. After watching this movie, I found that the story is very well written. The success of a movie cannot be separated from a good story. I want to ask if the adaptation rights of the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" have been sold?"
"Not yet. In fact, we are not sure how to deal with the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light"? Should each movie be sold separately or all of them together."
The main reason was that he was scared by the extremely complicated copyright spider web of the world's previous life singing "Ghost Blows Out the Light". Zhang Chu didn't want to see many different Hu Bayi appearing on the big screen at the same time.
Zhang Jian was delighted and he introduced it quickly, "We Yuexing Film and Television are very strong. We have participated in the production of more than 100 films. The box office champion and runner-up of this year's Spring Festival period are all invested by our company. So don't worry about the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" movie, it will definitely make it the best in the cinema."
"Mr. Zhang, are you fooling new people again?"
Just as Zhang Chu was still thinking, Tu Qiwei, vice president of Yida Films, walked over slowly, "Fraud? Is this a liar?" Zhang Chu felt a stern in his heart, and he couldn't help but get a little attention. There are many liars in the film and television industry, and you must not suffer any losses!
"Mr. Tu, you can't just falsely accuse others. Am I that kind of person?" Zhang Jian pretended to be angry and did not admit it at all.
Tu Qiwei looked at Zhang Jian. He was supported by Yida Group behind him, and he had no scruples at all. "No one in the industry knows that Yuexing always takes advantage of his own tricks. He has never made a movie by himself. He invests in others."
In fact, Zhang Chu did not agree to hand over the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" to Yuexing Film and Television. He would not have taken out the things when he talked to strangers.
"The film and television industry is too complicated, so I'd better go home and take a shower and go to bed."
"I have to congratulate you Xiao Zhang. Director Xu shot your story very well. If nothing unexpected happens, it may become one of the best-selling works this year!"
Tu Qiwei should have been socializing with other colleagues now, but he appeared beside Zhang Chu, which made everyone in the screening room quietly focus their attention on Zhang Chu.
Everyone is a wise man. There are not many young best-selling writers, and even fewer works are suitable for adaptation into movies!
Zhang Chu actually has more advantages than other writers, because his works have already had a precedent for successful adaptation. "Detective Sherlock" triggered the British Isles, "People" attracted half a Hollywood company to grab it, and now "Psychological Crime" has the potential to explode again.
All the film companies here are all moving, who doesn’t want to sign the rest of his works as soon as possible?
"Mr. Tu, you're just joking. Which book is not a bestseller in Zhang Chu? If you want to say which book in the book market this year is the most popular, it must be "Ghost Blows Out the Light". I have read several analyses that said that this book has locked in the annual championship in advance, and it is said that it sold 5 million copies, right?" Zhang Jian helped to promote it.
"No, that's all a matter of Ying'er. If I sold so many 5 million copies, I wouldn't be happy. There were only about 2.1 million copies, and the electronic version was selling well."
Zhang Chu denied repeatedly that he wanted a single book to sell so high. Even if "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has become popular on the Internet, it has only been more than three months after all.
Tu Qiwei smiled and said, "I don't know if Xiao Zhang, you have considered whether our Yida Pictures. The movies we produce ourselves will definitely have an inclination in filming and promotion, and there should be no one in the entire film market that is stronger than ours!"
He does have the confidence to speak. Yida Cinema is blooming all over the country and contributes a lot of box office. If the film quality is good, it will definitely be guaranteed in the screening.
However, Zhang Chu just smiled politely and said, "I haven't finished writing the work of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" yet, and there are seven movies waiting for me to write. I don't want to see different actors playing Hu Bayi on the screen, so I want to sell these eight works together."
"There are seven more?" Tu Qiwei and Zhang Jian were both surprised by the news that Zhang Chu accidentally revealed.
I have always wanted to be Oriental Disney. Yida Cinema needs such a strong IP support. Tu Qiwei made a quick decision and promised: "Xiao Zhang, I think we can discuss in depth and carry out deeper cooperation. This will be a super event that subverts the domestic entertainment industry. We can learn from Warner and JK Rowling to jointly create a tomb robber world!"
Others haven't felt it yet, but Tu Qiwei was attracted by the scene outlined in his own words. Harry Potter is not so easy to imitate, but "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is actually not too bad in China.
Since joining forces with Warner Bros., the wizarding world of Harry Potter has become a popular culture symbol for the whole world, immersing the whole world in magic.
These works ignited the global reading revolution, and then these works set off an unprecedented cinema!
"If Mr. Tu has this idea, you can communicate with my agency." Zhang Chu's palms were sweating slightly.
He admitted that he was also attracted by the blueprint outlined by Tu Qiwei. Unless the book writers really love literature and are willing to be poor, JK Rowling is their best business idol!
From being poor to being the rich global writers, doesn’t JK Rowling’s counterattack just show the infinite possibilities of writing a book?
Without Warner Brothers, the little wizards had indeed become popular. They complement each other and jointly created a brand new community of witchcraft and magic.
"In fact, I am very optimistic about "Ghost Blows Out the Light". It can not only be adapted into movies and TV series, but also developed into video games, consumer products and digital project business products. Our all-round partnership can also establish a Ghost Blows Out the Light tomb robbery theme park in Yida Paradise."
The Harry Potter series has won over $7.7 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing movie series of all time.
At the same time, the influence of this work has also successfully expanded to businesses such as television, family entertainment, consumer products, video games, digital projects and tourist attractions.
This success made Yida Group very envious, but unfortunately there is no good IP in China to support such a big project!
But now, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" seems to have such a prospect. If the subsequent few movies can maintain the quality of the first movie, Tu Qiwei will have enough confidence to operate this project.
This will be his achievement from being promoted from Yida Pictures to the senior executive of Yida Group headquarters. Now he wants to call Zhang Chu back to write the article!
Zhang Jian was stunned when he heard this. He felt that this seemed to be not the world he knew. He just wanted to find Zhang Chu to get close to him and see if he could get the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
Even if you don’t buy your own company, you can transfer it to other companies at a high price and make a lot of money from it.
"Mr. Tu, are you too high in "Ghost Blows Out the Light"? Can this be compared with the "Harry Potter" series?"
After Zhang Jian said this, he realized that the author was right in front of him, and he seemed to be a bit sinner.
However, Zhang Chu didn't pay attention to this at this moment. Perhaps it is a very correct way to create a Ghost Blowing Light Tomb Raider theme amusement project in Yida Paradise.
Anyway, every amusement park has a haunted house project. If you replace it a little, it will be much more distinctive. Maybe it will attract more people to come for pilgrimage, and even have more Chinese characteristics during Halloween.
The height that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in the previous life can be achieved in this life!
But he didn't know whether these contents were Tu Qiwei's own sudden idea or Yida Group's thoughtful thoughts.
If it were the former, it would be obvious that it would be too early to be happy.
Zhang Jian didn’t know what other people’s ideas were like. He was so complicated at this moment. It turned out that I had never seen the true value of “Ghost Blows Out the Light”!
The rest were surprised by Tu Qiwei's grand goal that the current domestic film profitability situation has not been completely developed, and most of the profits come from the box office of the movie.
After the movie is released, the playback rights are sold to several major video websites or TV content suppliers, such as peripheral development, which is still at the most primitive stage.
Everyone knows that Disney makes money because not only has high box office movies, but also has higher profits in the development of movies around them.
Does "Ghost Blows Out the Light" really have the chance to become a work of the same level as Harry Potter?
It is almost impossible from a global perspective, but it seems very likely in China.
If the project of Yida Paradise can be really completed, then "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will really leave a strong mark in history!
Chapter completed!
