120 Talk about conditions
700,000 per episode, 30 episodes are 21 million. This price may have broken the exclusive purchase price of domestic cartoons. △↗
Not only was Liu Nianzhou surprised, but Hongqi next to him was even more shocked. Several of his works were made into animations, and he knew very well how crooked the purchase price of the video website for cartoons.
As a top online writer, his works are a high-value IP, which is popular among games, especially mobile game companies. However, he has been disappointed in animation adaptation.
So, when he saw the animation of "Diwu", he was immediately moved. It was also an online adaptation, and the quality of this animation of "Diwu" is not inferior to those of Neon's big productions.
More importantly, when he saw the animation "Diwu", it also played a huge role in promoting the novel.
Before Liu Nianzhou was just an ordinary masterpiece. However, since the animation of "Diwu" was broadcast, the novel's performance has been rising steadily. In just one month, the subscription exceeded 30,000, and all of them were converted. When the animation was broadcast to the last few episodes, the Qiandu Search Index even reached the top three.
That month, Liu Nianzhou's royalties exceeded seven figures. It can be said that he became a god with the animation of "Imperial Wu".
In the industry, countless people lament that Liu Nianzhou had lost his luck and became popular inexplicably.
A successful adaptation of the animation has had such a great impact on the original work.
Today he came here with the goal of adapting animations. As long as he can achieve the animation of "Diwu", even if he wants to sacrifice some interests, he will do whatever he wants.
…………
The employee smiled proudly when he saw the two of them in surprise. "This is nothing. The highest bid is a71, one million and one episode."
Liu Nianzhou opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. He knew the details of the studio and the cost of making an animation was very clear. Although he didn't participate much in the production of the second season, he could roughly calculate it.
Two months is the salary of the production team, five insurances and one fund, rent, water and electricity, and post-production of animations, no matter how much it counts, it will not exceed one million.
The price of one million episodes per episode is 39 million, and the net profit is 38 million.
It was only at this time that he truly understood the huge value contained in the "animation production system" in the computer room.
Hongqi didn't know the inside story, he was thinking about another thing.
What I was most worried about online before was that the investors of "Diwu" would not invest in the second season because of huge losses. But now he feels that this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. The purchase price of nearly 40 million should basically be able to recover the cost. Then through other channels, it is estimated that profits will not be a problem.
This means that this studio can survive. Then you will be more confident about the adaptation of them yourself.
The two of them had their own thoughts. The employee said regretfully, "It's a pity that Director Zhong refused to sell the exclusive broadcast rights. In the end, he sold the premiere rights to five websites for an episode of 120,000 yuan."
Liu Nianzhou was stunned at first, and then remembered that the last time, Zhong Yue would rather lose money than just play it on a video website. Looking back now, his decision was undoubtedly correct.
However, now he earns 20 million less. Zhong Yue actually gave up like this. How great is his ambition?
With this doubt, Liu Nianzhou took Hongqi to see Zhong Yue.
……………………
"I already know what you are here."
After Zhong Yue asked them to sit down, he said to Hongqi, "But, I believe you also know how much investment it takes to create an animation of the same level as "Diwu".
Hongqi knew it was not easy to convince him, and said, "I heard from Nianzhou that Mr. Zhong also has a mobile game company. If Mr. Zhong is willing to adapt my novel, I can sell the copyright of the mobile game to you."
Zhong Yue nodded secretly. He was indeed very sincere. A master of his level never had to worry about selling game adaptation rights, especially mobile game adaptations. They are all good things that game dealers are rushing to buy.
He pretended to think for a while and said, "In addition to the mobile game adaptation rights, I also want PC games, web game copyrights, movie copyrights, TV copyrights, etc. If you agree, I can help you adapt animations."
Hongqi was stunned, not expecting that he had such a big appetite. Although, apart from game adaptation, copyrights for movies and TVs are of little value. However, with the development of computer special effects technology, these copyrights may become very important. He did not want to sell them easily.
"I want to think about it."
"no problem."
Zhong Yue was not in a hurry and said, "It's rare to come here, let's have a few more days to play in Yangcheng."
"Okay, I'll give you the answer in a few days." Hongqi said, then said goodbye.
Zhong Yue personally sent him out, and after he came back, he began to think about the movie.
So far, the two companies and studios he opened are not aimless. From mobile game companies to Yishang apps, they are content and channels, which can be said to be vertical development. To animation studios, they are model development.
To put it bluntly, his strategy is a very popular concept some time ago, pan-entertainment.
The first season of "Imperial Wu" was to gain popularity, while the second season was to expand this popularity as much as possible. After reaching a certain level, you can consider making a movie.
Nowadays, everyone who reads the news knows how popular the domestic film market is. At this time, if he doesn't go to the film market to make money, he will be sorry for himself.
Think about the movies that make money every year during the Spring Festival, and think about watching the big movies of variety shows. He thinks that his movie "Diwu" is still conscientious.
His goal is to open up the entire animation market. Having an animation alone is definitely not enough. This time, his goal is to those top masters of online literature.
Today is different from the past. He chose Liu Nianzhou's works to adapt them, and he was somewhat helpless. Now, the studio's popularity has been made, so he naturally has to choose works of masters with higher IP value. Whether it is the reader scale or popularity, masters' works have unparalleled advantages.
In fact, the conditions he proposed were not harsh. He would naturally buy these copyrights at market prices. He would not let them suffer losses. Those copyrights that are not worth a lot of money at present are useless in others' hands, but they are different in his hands.
Just like the film copyright, if you don’t mention the live-action movie for the time being, animated movies will definitely come out soon. This is basically not difficult in production.
However, he didn't have to find these great masters. If he really couldn't reach an agreement, he went to find authors with slightly worse grades. He could also produce one "Imperial Wu" and the second one.
So, he was not in a hurry at all. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
