Chapter 57 Joint Quotation
The price of Penguin Video is not high, and only 15 episodes have been released, which is still a buyout of the entire animation copyright.

The price...was a bit low, but there was nothing Kappa could do about it.If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same line, and the kappa pleaded for help, and the goose manufacturer had a big business and was not short of money, they might not be able to sell it.

Fortunately, this is not an exclusive copyright.Kappa said that in addition to Penguin Video, he must find a way to join Fan Zhe and make a joint bid together.

However, that being said, it is still difficult to do.

Most of the mainstream video sites feel that the style is too niche, worrying about scale and only willing to buy broadcasting rights.Some are willing to buy, but the price offered is too low for Fan Zhe to accept.

In the face of failure in multiple sales promotions, Kappa was under a lot of pressure - it seemed that he was about to fail to fulfill his promise to Fan Zhe.

"Damn, are they all blind? Can't understand this movie?" He complained privately, but in fact, from an objective point of view, he could understand those colleagues outside.

I believe that many people, like him, will laugh out loud after watching the samples.But the key point is, can this kind of lines and jokes full of "connotations", coupled with this European and American style of painting that is rarely seen in China, really be able to make a big splash in the domestic market?

Don't look at the animation price of "Special Time Task Force" which is only hundreds of thousands, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the production cost of this animation cannot be compared with that of "Full Time".And if you buy ten episodes, you will have to spend 500 million.

Thirty-five million, for these mainstream video sites, it is not a particularly large amount of money, and it is only a fraction of a popular TV series.But there are little fresh meats in the popular dramas, and there are so many fans to come to support them. What is the animation of "Task Force"?
This kind of original work is not particularly popular, and the animation style is niche. If you buy it and release it, if you say it is cool, it will be cool to the core. What if the investment is wasted?
Therefore, in terms of the attitude towards this work, various websites have generally adopted a more cautious attitude.

Only one family made a serious offer.

Station A.

Speaking of which, Station A is also a very magical place. It should have been the forerunner of the barrage website and the Two-dimensional circle, but now it is almost not on the same level as Station B.I also experienced broken things such as site closures, close to bankruptcy, unable to rent servers, and unable to pay wages.

When they saw that they were about to die, they would cheat the corpse and try frantically on the verge of being so cold.

Now it has been acquired by the short video Kuaishou, maybe the funds will be richer.

Uh...probably.

But no matter how you say it, this small-scale European-style cartoon animation style work produced by 'Dimension Entertainment' is still affordable.

The price they gave was also 15 per episode.

Adding up the two sides, the total price is 30 per episode, and the price of the whole season is 300 million.

After receiving Kappa's reply, Fan Zhe chose to accept it.

This price is still within expectations.

The entire sales process was negotiated with the help of Lewen Group.Of course, the final decision rests with Fan Zhe.

According to the agreement, Penguin Video and Station A will make a joint bid, each paying 150 million yuan to Dimension Entertainment to purchase the animation copyright for the first season of "Special Events Task Force".From the effective date of the contract, the copyright of the first season will be completely owned by the two of them, and all the profits of the follow-up animation, whether it is on-demand or advertising, or even the distribution of broadcasting rights, will be shared by the two.

At the same time, Kappa also helped to win something.For example, both of them promised to invest a certain amount of resources to promote this work.

Such a result is not very good, but it has reached Fan Zhe's inner expectations.

That being the case, he didn't worry about it any more and signed the contract.

After selling the copyright, although Fan Zhe is not very satisfied with the overall price, this is the only way for now.

"Special Events Task Force" has a total of ten episodes, which recovered the production cost of 300 million.

To be honest, it's not very profitable.

Although Fan Zhe didn't pay for the copyright authorization fee, it was converted into the production fee of the second season of "Full-time Master", and it was also an investment.

If the salaries of so many people in the project team and various other costs are included, the profit will probably be in the millions if the 300 million is sold.

That's a profit margin of about 30.00% more.

Seems good, but what about the value brought by 'dimensions'?

This amount of money, given to a normal production company, will only make a small profit, and if the cost of copyright purchase is counted, it will still have to lose money.Even Fan Zhe, with the 'dimension' in his hand, can't make a lot of money, after all, the follow-up income has nothing to do with him.

He had already considered the current situation when he initially decided to make the work "Special Events Task Force".

Relying on the dimension, the lower price can recover the cost of the first season and make a small profit, which is enough; next, Fan Zhe still hopes that the work can arouse a certain degree of repercussions.

He has considered the risk of a niche style, which will make it difficult for mainstream video sites to pay a large price for animation before seeing the results.And the solution to this problem is also very simple - at least for Fan Zhe who has 'dimension'.

Just release the work, won't it be enough if it becomes popular?
Anyway, there are only ten episodes in the first season, and it was finished in a month.And as long as the results of the first season are decent, then the initiative in the negotiations for the second season will be in the hands of 'Dimension Entertainment'.

When cooperating on this project, Fan Zhe made it clear that the low price is acceptable, but he will never accept any negotiation on other aspects.

For example, peripheral licensing; for example, about the renewal of the second season.

Even the Lewen Group once mentioned whether the content of the second season can also be sold to them, but Fan Zhe didn't let go.

Although the dubbing and post-production of the first season are still a little bit unfinished, the project team led by Sun Yilang has already entered the production work of the second season.

The goal Fan Zhe set for them is to complete the production of the second season before the middle of March next year.There will be about four months in the middle, and about fifteen episodes will be made.

According to Fan Zhe's plan, before the production of the second season is completed, he should complete the negotiation of the second season.

At that time, the price of the second season will not be only 30 episodes in total.

The less money he earned this season, he will get it back in the next season!
