Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 578 The Problem of the Value of the Copyright of the Novel;
Apple Senior Writer Group.

The bosses laughed and chatted, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Perhaps it was because of the two new "big guys" that the group became much more lively.

Even many screen-peepers who hadn't seen each other for half a month showed up to say hello.

As for the "sour editor" who was molested by the bosses, he has quietly gone offline.

Tian Wenwen was very curious about the "Great Sage" and kept talking to him.

The "Great Sage" was also happy to cooperate, pretending not to know each other, and casually chatting about popular topics such as copyright derivatives of works.

The two sides chatted very speculatively and added friends.

Across a website, Tian Wenwen on the opposite side was very polite, with an "elegant, sunny, kind, ladylike" personality.

……

"If Wenwen finds out that you are playing with her in a vest, she will definitely not let you go."

Su Qiong looked at the content of the chat between the two speechlessly.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Tian Moyun said casually.

In his opinion, it seems quite interesting to understand Tian Wenwen's other side in this way.

This guy is completely different in reality and online.

In reality, she is heartless all day long and looks very sandy, but on the Internet, she behaves like a literary girl who has read poetry and books.

It's very interesting to set up a system for two people.

……

And just as Tian Moyun was chatting with Tian Wenwen, a piece of news flashed by.

A request has been made to add a friend.

I thought it was the boss of the senior writer group, but when I opened it, it turned out to be a game company.

Additional information: I am Li Yuan, the project director of [Fengyun Game].

He only said his identity, not his intention.

But the guy's intentions are already obvious.

Right now, with the popularity of "My Big Brother President", games adapted from online texts have also attracted the attention of game companies.

High-quality, high-selling, and suitable for adaptation, such as "The Monkey King", is naturally the first choice of game companies.

Tian Moyun didn't agree to add it, but just replied: "Don't talk about game copyright."

But the other party continued to reply: "The price is negotiable, we can bid up to 300 million, can you add a friend first?"

300 million!
Tian Moyun was a little surprised.

He also told Tian Wenwen before that the value of online game copyrights at this stage is basically in the range of 1 to 100 million.

As a result, now, less than an hour after he finished speaking, someone offered 300 million yuan to buy his game copyright.

Is reality so harsh?

"Sorry, the game copyright of "Monkey King" has been sold, so there is no need to add friends."

Tian Moyun continued to reply.

It is definitely impossible to sell the copyright of the game, this is the ace IP he plans to breed.

In the future, a series of copyright derivatives such as film and television dramas, movies, animations, comics, and published books will be developed around "Journey to the West" to create a behemoth from oriental culture-Journey to the West!

Let alone 300 million, even if the asking price is 300 billion, it is impossible to sell.

After all, if this "Journey to the West" is run well, it will be a top IP that will last for decades.

Just such a project can exceed the net profit of countless listed companies.

In "Journey to the West", there are too many things that can be adapted.

In addition to Sun Wukong, Monkey King, there are also a series of character IPs that can be derived, such as Nezha, Erlang God, Bull Demon King, Chang'e...etc.

Each one can be taken out to make an independent IP.

The IP value of "Journey to the West" is immeasurable, so it is naturally impossible to sell it.

……

Fengyun Games, Project Director's Office.

Li Yuan tried his best to get the contact information of the creator of "Monkey King", but was told that the copyright of the game had been sold.

This made him very disappointed, and he asked who the other party sold to with some reluctance, but he didn't get a reply.

"What a pity."

Li Yuan sighed, then, he had no choice but to take the next best thing and contact "Back Tire No. 1" to negotiate the copyright of the game.

After reaching the basic prerequisites for cooperation online, Li Yuan handed over the project to a reliable subordinate for discussion.

"Aren't we going to buy the game copyright of "Monkey King"?"

The subordinate game was puzzled.

He discovered that the title of the task given to him by his boss was not "Monkey King", but "Legend of the Blood Sword Hero".

He is also no stranger to the latter. When investigating online articles that could be adapted, he focused on this book.

However, in the answer sheet given by the marketing department, "Legend of the Blood Sword Hero" was obviously inferior to "Monkey King", so they didn't take it seriously.

It is somewhat unexpected to talk about the game copyright of this book now.

"I just contacted the author of "Monkey King", and they said that the copyright of the game has been sold."

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "That guy is very arrogant. I revealed my identity, but he didn't even approve the friend application. It doesn't matter if he doesn't cooperate, so as not to be offended."

"..."

The subordinate was silent.

He knew very well that if he could win the game copyright of "Monkey King", let alone being angry, it would be fine for him to be his grandson.

These days, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

In the face of absolute interests, who would care whether he was angry or not?
Li Yuan was so dissatisfied, not because of the other party's attitude, but because he had put in so much effort but didn't even have a chance to talk about cooperation, and he was just annoyed.

"What's the price range for the copyright of "Blood Sword Heroes"?"

subordinate asked.

"50-100."

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "The maximum can't exceed 150 million. This is the limit, and the copyright of this book is worth that much."

When estimating the copyright value of "The Monkey King", he said 300 million, which is far from a psychologically acceptable price.

After all, when talking about business, we always pay attention to "extravagant asking prices and paying back the money on the spot". If you directly say the psychological bottom line, the business will be difficult to succeed.

But what about "Blood Sword Heroes"?

The price limit given by Li Yuan is 150 million, and the first price mentioned during the negotiation will not exceed 50.

There is a huge difference in the treatment of the two books.

even if--

They are on the sales list, one is the champion and the other is the runner-up.

……

a few days later.

The game copyright transaction of "Blood Sword Heroes" has been finalized.

On the [Apple Literature Network] website, an announcement was posted again:

"Warmly congratulate our site for reaching the second million-level copyright transaction. "Blood Sword Heroes" has been sold to [Fengyun Games], so stay tuned."

As soon as the news came out.

Those colleagues who were still watching suddenly exploded.

"My God, the second book on the entire network to reach the million level is actually [Apple Literature] again."

"It's amazing. During this period of time, there have been news of copyright sales, but the million-level one hasn't appeared yet."

"As expected of a leading website in the online literature circle, it won the second million-level copyright deal so quickly."

"Am I the only one who thinks this price is a bit low? "The Legend of the Blood Sword and Heroine" is the second best-selling work on the entire website."

"Isn't it low? The book "My Brother, the President of the Thunder Group" is a special case and cannot be copied."

"Yeah, compared to that book, "The Legend of the Blood Sword Hero" is normal, and a million dollars is already a sky-high price."

"If my book can be adapted, don't say 100 million, even 100 yuan will do."

"Don't think about so many good things. At present, all the online articles that sell copyright are the top brands of all major websites."

"Go to [Apple Literature] and try to write a book, in case we can also sell the copyright."

……

It's not just the people who eat melons who are envious.

The people in charge of other novel websites were also envious.

Selling the copyright of website works is not just as simple as picking up a sum of money for nothing, but can also enhance the popularity and influence of the entire website.

During this period, if anyone can sell the copyright, the valuation of the website financing will increase by several percentage points.

pity--

This kind of thing is destined not to envy or envy.

【Apple Literature】As a leading website, with the backing of 【Thunder Group】, it is easier to sell copyrights to game companies.

But what about their websites?

They don't have much intersection with the game industry, and it is particularly difficult to sell copyrights, and the price is also suppressed to death.

Not to mention the million-level, it is already a big surprise to sell 10,000+.

……

Apple Senior Writers Group.

"Congratulations to the designer for selling the copyright and earning millions."

The bosses congratulated one after another, and by the way, let the lucky guy treat him to dinner.

Bald designer!
The author of "Blood Sword Hero".

He is still confident in selling the copyright of his book, but the million-level price still catches him off guard.

In his opinion, if it can sell for about 50 yuan, it is already a high incense.

"thank you all."

The bald designer typed back: "I'm really overjoyed to be able to buy it at a high price of one million. If you come to my place to play, I will definitely welcome you."

"I just found out about this, congratulations." ——The Great Sage sent a message.

Tian Moyun was also a little surprised at the copyright price of "The Legend of the Blood Sword Hero".

But thinking about the game business that bought the copyright, it seems reasonable.

[Fengyun Game] is a first-class manufacturer in the game industry in Daxia, second only to the top four, with an annual profit of over [-] million.

Their Director Li just opened his mouth and offered 300 million yuan to buy the copyright of "Monkey King", which shows that he is quite generous.

And after being rejected by him, it was normal for the other party to settle for the second best and buy "Legend of the Blood Sword Hero", which was second only to "Monkey King".

……

"I heard from them that they originally planned to buy the copyright of "Monkey King", but after you rejected it, they chose me."

The bald designer typed and asked: "Brother Dasheng, I heard that your copyright has also been sold?"

Everyone was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that there was something else hidden in this matter.

But think about it.

The performance of "Monkey King" is nearly three times better than that of "Legend of the Blood Sword Hero". There is no reason for the game company to ignore this book.

"Well, it's sold."

Tian Moyun replied.

Thinking that they might wonder why the sale of the copyright by themselves was not advertised by the website.

So he added a vague sentence: "I signed the sharing model, and there is no profit for the time being."

Split into patterns!

The bosses who originally wanted to ask, suddenly trembled.

Many of them have sold their copyrights, but the prices vary.

But the copyrights of their works are all bought out, a sum of money is bought out directly, and then it has nothing to do with them.

It is far inferior to the sharing model of "Monkey King".

To know--

The risk is quite high in the sign-and-share mode. If the game is not profitable, you may not get a penny.

But if the game becomes popular, the income from such a copyright alone can exceed a hundred times that of novel subscriptions.

……

"Brother Sheng, you are too powerful."

Song Guoer, a female video boss, was a little envious: "My book didn't sell the game copyright, but I'm talking about the film and television copyright and the physical book, but the price given by the other party is only a few hundred thousand less, and there is no negotiation at all. Opportunity, no right to speak at all."

"It's normal."

Tian Moyun replied casually: "It is very difficult to sell game copyrights for women's works, but adaptations of film and television dramas and publications are very suitable. This aspect sells well, and the income is much stronger than game copyrights."

He didn't pay attention to the other party's book.

He didn't even pay attention to 【Apple Literature Network】.

But this does not affect his judgment on online works.

Combined with previous life experience, many female frequency book adaptations are very popular.

Like "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", "Three Lives III", "The Patriarch of Demon Dao"...

However, the adaptation of male frequency books seems relatively deserted.

Except for a few books, most of the "obviously wonderful" books, no film and television company is willing to take over.

Copyright price, shooting cost, risk assessment... a lot of questions.

There is another very fatal problem -

Many film and television companies understand the adaptation of web texts as "low-cost web dramas" and "traffic dramas".

This has also led to the fact that these film and television companies are not willing to spend a lot of money to produce after spending a lot of money to buy the copyright.

They just want to be perfunctory, they just want to finish it quickly, they don't care about the details or the script at all.

I'm going to finish it in a hurry, and then spend tens of millions of publicity costs to harvest the wallets of original fans + traffic star fans.

to be honest--

Big IP + traffic star + million-level production cost + tens of millions of publicity costs = magic drama!Earn money!
This is the film and television company's understanding of web text adaptation.

To give a very apt example:

Fighting horses!

……

Off track.

While expressing their congratulations, the bosses also asked Tian Moyun who sold the copyright of the game to.

Because it is divided into models.

Therefore, it is very important to which company the game copyright is sold to and how much the other party is willing to spend to produce it, which is related to the vital interests of the creator.

"..."

Tian Moyun didn't want to say it at first.

He also said things like "divided into models" casually.

But at this point, you can only continue to circle.

then.

He typed back: "Sold to [Happy Games], the development cost is temporarily kept secret."

Happy Gaming Company!

The top producers in the game industry are not inferior to the "Big Four", or even surpassed by companies.

Everyone was shocked again.

I thought it would be a first-class manufacturer at most. After all, no matter how high it is, it is difficult for the author to have the right to negotiate, and the other party will not give too much preferential treatment.

But I never thought that it would be such a giant-level manufacturer.

and--

[Happy Game Company] is well-known in the industry in terms of development strength and capital investment.

The game adaptation of "Monkey King" made by them may be another masterpiece comparable to "Sword".

This is really developed.

……

"[Happy Game] has the experience of successfully adapting web articles, so I chose them."

Tian Moyun explained it like this.

The bosses recalled the game "My Brother CEO", and immediately understood.

"Hahaha, welcome."

The diligent little mosquito sent a message: "Brother Dasheng, don't worry, I have a good relationship with [Happy Games], I will help you keep an eye on the development progress, and I will definitely not let you down."

Tian Wenwen was very happy.

after all--

[Happy Game] It also has something to do with her.

And "Monkey King" is her favorite book.

[Happy Game] With the game copyright of this game, she can also take this opportunity to learn about the development process and so on.

This feeling is as happy as watching dramas and opening VVIP.

"is it?"

Tian Moyun casually said: "Then thank you, little sister Mosquito."

……

"Pfft~hahaha."

Seeing this, Su Qiong couldn't help laughing.

Brother Dasheng?Mosquito little sister?

This title is also really interesting.

"Is it so funny?"

Tian Moyun glanced at her.

"It's not funny...puh ha ha ha."

Su Qiong failed to manage her emotions. After a while, she couldn't help asking: "If you tease her like this, if she finds out, I'm afraid she will be very angry."

Little Suqiong has no brother.

However, she thought about it carefully, if she met a "senior" or "big boss" on the Internet, after the two gradually became acquainted, she confided a lot of thoughts, and finally found out that the other party was actually her father...

It explodes in minutes!
It's really... the heart to kill.

Social death, collapsed autism!
"I'll pay attention."

Tian Moyun nodded lightly: "Actually... I didn't just do this to tease her, I'm not so idle."

"It's just... I want to get to know her in another way."

"I can feel that there is some generation gap between me and her, which may be caused by my growing up too fast."

"Now, I don't really understand many of her thoughts."

"So, I hope to get to know her in this way and know how she arranges her life."

"I hate the feeling of being restrained, and I don't want to restrain others. I want to let her grow up, but I am worried that she will go astray..."

"So, I planned to get along with her in a different way. This is the reason why I signed up for a trumpet."

"As for what to do if she finds out in the future?"

"I've already figured out a countermeasure."

"Like-minded netizens are attracted to each other and have an inexplicable affection. This kind of thing comes and goes quickly."

"Once we get to know each other really well, I'll keep it a mystery and interact less with her, but at the same time get to know a lot of her thoughts."

"This kind of pure confidant netizen relationship is very good, even if it is known, it will not embarrass her."

……

"That's it."

Su Qiong pursed her lips, thought for a while, and said softly: "Having a good brother is really an enviable thing."

"It's the same with having a good husband."

Tian Moyun smiled, kneaded her little hands, and asked, "What do you think about the wedding? Eastern style or Western style?"

"As for the honeymoon..."

"This can only wrong you. With our current status, it may not be safe to go abroad."

"I'm afraid we can only go out to play with the big leaders when they go abroad."
