"You came here specifically today. Could it be for this matter?"

No matter how Zhou Kang looked at it, he felt that his boss was not like a diligent person. He could never come here in person if he said something on the phone or WeChat.

The dividend ratio of peripheral products is indeed a top priority, but 10% is equivalent to pulling out the teeth of the tiger and robbing their profits from these big companies.

No film company will worry about overexposure, but about low-quality exposure. In fact, the more high-quality exposure, the better, which is conducive to improving the level of publicity of the film.

The production process of derivatives is usually those qualified companies apply for authorization from the film manufacturer with IP. The film chamber will review the company's financial capabilities, number of users and design capabilities. When the review is approved and authorized, the film chamber will give the company a detailed description of the categories that can be produced, the IP validity period and share ratio.

Of course, it is also possible that the film merchants themselves find downstream companies to produce them. Just like the products in Disney stores are not produced by their companies, the products in the store are authorized to derivative manufacturers, and works that meet the quality and design and safety standards can be selected from them.

The most direct influencing factor in whether a movie sells well is the popularity of the movie. Different types will have different audiences, whether it is a family-friendly type or a preference for women, men, teenagers and children.

10% is almost an impossible number to discuss. Zhou Kang doesn’t think Hollywood companies will have the courage to break the industry rules!

Zhang Chu didn't know what the agent was thinking at this time, so he replied on his own: "I came here this time to ask for an interview and give my readers a peace of mind so that they can rest assured that they don't have to wonder whether the "Lord of the Rings" series will be released on time."

Zhou Kang turned his head and looked out the window: "Can the sun really hit the west side? There were so many media outlets who wanted to interview you before, but you didn't agree. As a result, now I remember to look for the media again, what else do you have to ask for?"

"It's faster and more authoritative, and it won't be taken out of context."

"Actually, my suggestion is to wait a few days later. The Cannes Film Festival has entered its later stages, and the call for "Farewell My Concubine" is getting higher and higher. If the movie can win the award, you, the original author, will also have a light on your face. In addition, you can also meet with people from Universal Pictures for detailed discussions. If you have the intention to cooperate, you can announce it at the same time!" Zhou Kang persuaded. He knew very well that Zhang Chu would not be able to accept a second interview in a short time, and of course he wanted to add some substantial content to the interview content.

However, Zhang Chu spread his hands and said, "Let's talk about what's going on in the future. Is there any media that can interview today and announce the results today?"

"It's better to record a video yourself. I can help you immediately. If you need makeup and lighting, the girls in our company can help."

"I mainly want to find a media with higher authority. If not, forget it. I can just open a filter and take a selfie, which is much easier!"

Zhou Kang sighed: "You are tortureting us. The speed required is probably only possible to be realized on various news programs. We can't ask if the news broadcast is still lacking in material, right?"

Zhang Chu waved his hand in disappointment, got up and walked outside.

Before others could step out of the company's door, Ye Shumei, who had just finished the video conference with others, appeared, "Boss, are you ready to leave after visiting the company?"

"Sister Ye, if I don't leave, I will be blocked on the road. If you have anything you want to know, please ask Uncle Zhou. I have just talked to him for a while. I have worked hard, remember to get off work early!"

Zhang Chu found that the time on the watch was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the evening rush hour was gradually brewing.

The boss is leaving, who can keep it!

Ye Shumei sighed, shook her head and looked at Zhou Kang, "Old Zhou, our boss is here so hurrying over. Isn't it just to deliver fruit to everyone, right?"

Now the office has almost become a fruit shop, and all kinds of fruits are packed and sent.

Not only are there cuts and cuts, but there are also many that employees can take home.

"He wanted to come here to ask for an interview. It would be better to post the interview now, saying that it would make fans wait and feel at ease and not worry about the sequel to "The Lord of the Rings". In addition to live broadcasts, he would shoot videos by himself. He planned to shoot videos slowly after he went home. However, in addition to this topic, we talked about the revenue sharing of derivatives of the "The Lord of the Rings" series of movies..."

Hanlin Culture Media Company has made full preparations to welcome the visit of the gold medal producer of Universal Pictures tomorrow. Not only did it take the first draft of Zhang Chu's English version of "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Twin Towers", but it also made many targeted preparations specifically for this.

As a foreign brokerage company, it is extremely difficult to learn the specific content of other writers’ copyright transaction contracts from Hollywood companies!

Originally, it was a commercial secret that needed to be kept confidential, and it would not be announced to the public in normal times, let alone let a foreign company know about it.

Zhou Kang and his team worked hard for a long time, but they only got some data from Random House. These data were the numbers that Random House agents had negotiated with Hollywood film dealers.

But the works are different and the writers are different, so the prices will naturally vary greatly.

Ye Shumei and the others are aiming at JK Rowling. Even if they can't get the same high copyright fee as her, the difference cannot be too far!

Random House has not low royalties for Zhang Chu, and has already obtained a royalties of the same level as hers, but the sales volume of the works is far from comparable to that of the time being.

According to rumors, the sales of seven Harry Potters worldwide exceeded 450 million copies, and estimated revenue of up to 7.7 billion US dollars. This series of books has earned Aunt Rowling more than 1.2 billion US dollars.

At the same time, she also has a 10% box office share in each movie. The cumulative box office of the eight movies is close to US$8 billion, and conservatively estimated that it also has a share share of US$700 million.

Not only that, the exclusive TV broadcasting rights of these eight Harry Potter movies are not a small number. Rowling has 50% of the TV broadcasting rights. When NBC TV spent $250 million to buy eight movies in a package, the income was very considerable!

In addition, through the Magic World theme park built by Warner, she received a licensing fee of more than $60 million at one time.

In addition, the sales of tickets, goods, food and beverages for theme parks are also divided. Even if the possibility of "The Lord of the Rings" being built into a theme park is not high, it does not prevent Zhou Kang and others from considering these contents.

The more detailed the contract content, the better it will save you the time to regret it.

From the moment, the influence of "The Lord of the Rings" is not as good as "Harry Potter", which has been popular all over the world. Works of that level are hard to come by.

Even Zhang Chu has not found a series of works comparable to "Harry Potter" in the system's database!

There are already many works in this world, and he can only choose from works that have not appeared for the time being.

If he hadn't discovered that the bookstore had "Harry Potter" sales when he was traveling to this world, he would have wanted to write the story of the little wizard, so that he would do nothing in the second half of his life and would have lie on the checkbook.

...

The transportation in Yanjing has never disappointed.

There are a series of red brake lights in front of it, which looks spectacular!

At first, he could still run at a speed of 20 kilometers, but later it gradually dropped to walking and snail speed.

Zhang Chu sat in the driver's seat and looked at everything around him boredly. He was not used to listening to books in the car, and at most he hummed songs with music.

It seems that the traffic light is still more than 60 seconds away. I just picked up my phone and turned on the front camera. After considering the sentence, I said to the video: "Hello everyone, I am the one you are most obsessed with. I heard that everyone is questioning my character online. Now I will tell you good news. The Lord of the Rings series is coming to an end. The Double Tower Ark has been written, and the Return of the King has also written the most gao. I will meet you as soon as possible after I finish writing and revising it."

Time was limited, so he sent the video without checking the effect, and then put his phone next to him and continued driving.

Now the writing progress of "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" is very good. Frodo and Sam have arrived at the Volcano of Doomsday, but the Supreme Lord of the Rings is getting heavier here, and Frodo almost struggled with all his strength to fight against it.

The novel also describes two lines in parallel. Aragon led the human coalition to attract the attention of the orcs, the ring spirit and the demon king Sauron, just to create opportunities for Frodo and others.

In fact, Gandalf and others had no idea about Frodo's itinerary, they just wanted to take a gamble and want to take a gamble.

Only authors and readers from the perspective of God will know that this trust is worth it!

If you put yourself in your shoes, you will know the pressure on Aragon and the others. They are two hobbits who have never traveled far away. They want to go through many obstacles and destroy the Lord of the Rings at the base of the Demon Lord. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to happen.

Zhang Chu wrote that the speed was getting faster and faster. The time it took for the King to return to the King was much less than the time it took for the first Lord of the Ring to appear, almost one-quarter of it!

All the settings, all the characters, and all the context have been made. Now we are gradually gathering the clues and putting them all together.

The two lines that were originally parallel were getting closer and closer and finally closed.

From this we can see how important it is to make full preparations in the early stage!

If you haven't thought about the subsequent plot, you will be confused when writing it. You don't know what to write next. It's impossible to write a series of three works in such a short time.

The prequel of "The Hobbit" and even "The Silken Side" were placed on the other side by Zhang Chu.

Now readers should read these trilogies thoroughly instead of taking out all the contents, which will not be of any benefit.

"Oh, I'm really born to be a hardworking life. After writing "The Lord of the Rings", I have to fill in the pit of "The Ghost Blows the Light". I hope it can be finished when the movie is released."

Zhang Chu arranged himself clearly!

This was probably the most tiring time he had in his writing years, and he could not do it without systematic help.

These days he has given himself more energy potions, vitality potions and time in the system space than usual.

The biggest hope is that the series of novels "The Lord of the Rings" cannot be destroyed in my own hands, otherwise I will not be able to forgive myself!

While driving along the way, Zhang Chu was thinking about how to make "The Lord of the Rings" quickly have many readers. He couldn't make it happen before making a movie after it was released for decades. At that time, the daylily was cold.

"In my previous life, the novels led the Lord of the Rings movies, and then the movies fed back to the novels. I'm afraid there is no time for novels to slowly ferment, so I can only let the movies drive first."

Then only by making top-notch movies can this be achieved. Good or excellent must be excellent!

When he was thinking about these things, he followed his Weibo fans surprised to find that Teacher Zhang, who had not been able to update his Weibo for a long time, finally remembered his Weibo password, and this time he posted a short video of more than 30 seconds!

"Contracting Teacher Xiao Zhang's beauty and beauty era, I declare that I am a beauty fan, not a book fan!"

"This is the victory of Yan Fan! What are those two books? Can you eat them? Teacher Xiao Zhang posted more videos and selfies."

"Who knows what subtitle Zhang Chu said, whether the last king returns or the dead returns? What kind of cavalry is coming in front? This is the rhythm of war!"

"I once again felt the profoundness of Chinese. I would like to ask Teacher Zhang to subtitle next time, otherwise it would be troublesome to guess."

"I don't believe it! Unless the novel is placed in front of me, it will definitely be fake news! fake-news"

"Be careful, it seems like this was recorded while driving!"

"The speed is so fast. Since the second part is finished, please post it first. Let's read the second part first. You can write the third part slowly, don't worry!"

His fans are now curious about the subsequent plot direction, and at the same time speculate on the two subtitles in Zhang Chu's mouth, causing countless people to watch.

On Zhihu’s popular discussion list, there are more than 800 speculations about the subsequent plot of "The Lord of the Rings", and it is rare to have so many people in a short period of time!

"I think it should be the return of the dead. It was mentioned in the first novel that the Ring Spirit is actually nine human kings, but he was deceived and imprisoned by Sauron and became the black knight who helped the evil. I guess the plot later is that Frodo used the power of the Supreme Ring to untie the constraints on the Ring Spirit, allowing these former human heroes to return and help them defeat Sauron!"

"It's awesome to see from this perspective. Since this is the case, you can also call the return of the king, the return of the human king!"

"I knelt down to the boss. I really want to see the scene where the Ring Spirit rebels and then everyone beats up Sauron!"

"The Ring Spirit is just Sauron's subordinates. Even if they turn against him, it is useless. They must have defeated it with the Lord of the Rings."
Chapter completed!
