The number one soft rice king in the entertainment industry

"I know why you are here. I am afraid of trouble, and I am willing to cooperate with your company. Let me talk about my conditions first! In addition to the Chinese distribution rights, I can give you the distribution rights of other language versions. And , [-]% royalties, if you agree, we will cooperate. If you don’t agree, forget it, I am not short of money..."

Su Yang directly stated his conditions.Su Yang has his own confidence, and Su Yang's confidence is that he is not short of money.Even if this book can make a lot of money, to Su Yang, it may be just the numbers in the bank card.

Besides, the conditions I raised are not too much.[-]% royalties, this is a normal price, not even a high price.

As for the distribution of the Chinese copyright, Su Yang naturally would not give it to Random House.China is Su Yang's stronghold. After the Chinese version of this book is released in the future, with Su Yang's reputation, this book will definitely sell well in China.

Zheng Yi was taken aback when he heard Su Yang's condition. The condition was not high, but completely within his own budget.He thought it would be very difficult to deal with Su Yang, after all, many of the more powerful writers in the United States are very harsh.

Before Zheng Yi came, he was ready to be slaughtered severely, but he didn't expect that the conditions proposed by Su Yang were not harsh at all, and they were completely within the scope of his authorization.

"President Su, no problem. We can fully agree to your conditions. I will ask the company's legal department to draw up the contract now."

Smooth, unprecedented success.

"Okay, happy cooperation..."

Su Yang nodded. For the novel "Game of Thrones", what Su Yang really cares about is the copyright adaptation.

TV series, movies and even future games, this is the big money maker.Of course, publishing novels can actually make a lot of money.

Now that Random House has come to sign the contract, Random House will definitely promote this novel globally in the future.The fame of this novel will only skyrocket after Random House starts its global promotion.

This is a win-win situation, Su Yang doesn't want to make it unhappy because of a little profit.What's more, there are still many high-quality novels in the system. If the cooperation is happy this time, I can get more benefits from my own novels next time.Thinking about the novels in the system, Su Yang felt that those novels were all vaults.

"Su, hello..."

After Zheng Yi left, Barr quickly came to the hotel.Seeing Su Yang, Barr hurried up.

"Mr. Barr, I'm very glad to see you again. You must have known about me and my company yesterday. I have a script here. If you are willing to be the director, I am willing to invest. As for your remuneration, You can rest assured. For this movie, I am willing to give you 200 million euros as a reward..."

Su Yang said directly, Barr laughed when he heard the reward.

"Thank you, Sue, you must have been sent by God to save me. May I read the script?"

Barr couldn't help asking, Barr wanted to read the script now.As a director, Barr had to read the script to determine whether he could make the movie well.

"no problem……"

Su Yang directly handed the script printed out today to Barr.

After looking at the name, Barr opened the script and read it seriously.In the coffee shop of the hotel, Su Yang was not in a hurry. While drinking coffee, he waited for Barr to read the entire script.

Barr looked very seriously, and the expression on his face gradually softened from the seriousness at the beginning, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

I don't know how long it took before Barr finished the script. After reading it, Barr raised his head and looked at Su Yang in surprise.

"Su, this script is great. I like this script. Don't worry, I will make this movie well. I thought you would let me make some special effects commercial blockbusters. To be honest, I'm not good at those. I like movies with art..."

Barr said excitedly.The script was beyond Barr's expectations.He thought that what Su Yang gave him was a commercial blockbuster, but now it is not the case at all.

It's a very heartwarming film, the kind Barr loves.The audience is moved by the story, and Barr was surprised by how exciting the story is.

The script was so well written, it was better than any scripts I had come into contact with before.Compared with this script, Barr feels that the script he wrote is nothing more than this.

Barr is not particularly pedantic, he just likes to tell better stories.

"Since you like it, I'll leave this movie to you. You can take a closer look at the script, and a special person will contact you in the next two days."

Su Yang smiled and shook hands with Barr.

"Thank you, Sue, well, can you advance part of my salary first. I can't pay the rent soon..."

Barr said with some embarrassment.

"No problem, I can pay first."

Su Yang nodded. He checked the information about Barr last night.Knowing Barr's character is quite good.As for paying the reward first, Su Yang didn't care. It's only 200 million euros, although it's not too little when converted into RMB.But it's nothing to Su Yang and Qingyao Media.

Barr left with the script, walked out of the hotel, and looked at the sunny weather outside.Barr was in a particularly good mood. The 200 million remuneration will allow Barr to live without worrying about life for a long time.

"This time, I will definitely succeed."

Looking at the script in his hand, Barr couldn't wait to film this story.Barr likes this story and believes that this story can touch many people.

Barr believes that after the film's success, he will be even more brilliant than he was.For Su Yang, Barr also sincerely thanked Su Yang at this moment.Not only that, but he is also full of curiosity about Huaxia Barr at the moment. Barr has never been to that mysterious country.

Chapter 504 Big Drama: Exciting "The Walking Dead"

The book "Game of Thrones" began to ferment slowly in Europe and the United States. After reading the first volume, many people urged to update it, and at the same time introduced this book to their friends.

And Random House moved very quickly. After signing the contract, it took the fastest time to typeset and print the book. At the same time, it also put the e-book on the e-book store of Random House.Although Su Yang's Twitter has free books to watch, many Europeans and Americans do not pay attention to Su Yang.

However, there are a lot of users in Random Bookstore. Seeing the recommendation of Random Bookstore, many people curiously clicked on the book to read it, and urged to update it after reading it.

Su Yang did not continue to update the book on his Twitter. Now that he has signed a contract with Random Bookstore, he will naturally earn the money he should earn.After the first volume is brewing to a certain extent, I will hand over the manuscript of the second volume to Random Bookstore, so as to maximize the benefits. As for the cultivation of this IP, there is no need to worry too much.

A good IP needs time to develop slowly.In particular, the IP cultivated by this kind of novel will have more readers after a long time, and will have more audiences when TV dramas and movies change in the future.

Su Yang and their trip continued. After learning about Su Yang's plan, Tang Qing sent people to France to sign the contract with Barr.

While Su Yang's family was traveling, in Huaxia, a major drama was finally completed.

In the screening room of Qingyao Media, Tang Qing and a group of high-level executives were watching the newly produced drama "The Walking Dead".After such a long time of production, the first work of the zombie series IP is finally released.

The TV series "The Walking Dead" has gone through several twists and turns after the project was established, and the script has been revised many times. Not only Su Yang participated in it, but also many editors participated in it.The purpose is very simple, how to make this show compatible with Chinese audiences and foreign audiences.

For this, the editors also consulted together.The final strategy is to choose the place where the story takes place abroad.Because in this drama, there will be guns and other weapons.But in Huaxia, it is obviously not suitable.

The whole story chooses to take place in the United States, an American town similar to Chinatown.There are a large number of Chinese living here in this small town, as well as some whites, blacks and other races.

The reason for the virus leak is that the US military secretly conducted biological experiments in this small town, which led to the leak of the virus.Throughout the story, Su Yang and the editorial team also added a lot of private goods, exposing some of the ugliness of the United States.

This is not only the setting of "The Walking Dead", but also the setting of "Resident Evil" which is currently being produced. The setting of "Resident Evil" is also the same. Behind the mysterious umbrella company is the US military. Because of the human biological experiment, the virus leaked and caused the biochemical crisis.

Compared with "The Walking Dead", the progress of "Resident Evil" is much slower. The main reason is that "Resident Evil" is not only a movie, but also the development of the game. , "Resident Evil" will appear.

In the screening hall, everyone watched seriously.The whole movie has a very strong rhythm, explosive, exciting, suspenseful, bloody...

"Director Zhang, this domestic version cannot pass the review, right?"

Seeing such a bloody scene, Tang Qing couldn't help asking.

"Yes, not in China. But we took this into consideration when shooting. The domestic version is not too bloody..."

Director Zhang Ke nodded.In order to allow this drama to be broadcast in China, it has already been processed during filming.It's not like the gore of foreign versions at all.

For example, there are several kinds of zombies with guns, and the domestic version is just a small hole.The bloodiness has been reduced, but the foreign version is very exciting. Many times the whole head is blown up with one shot, and even the body can be blown into pieces of meat.

Such scenes are definitely not approved in China. Instead of large-scale deletions causing the plot to be unsmooth, it is better to deal with them during filming to avoid these bloody scenes.

"The quality is very good, please submit it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Let them negotiate with the platform..."

After watching a few episodes, Tang Qing said with a smile.

"Do you want to let President Su take a look?"

Zhang Ke couldn't help asking.

"President Su is on vacation, and he explained it before he left. We can decide many things by ourselves. President Su has confidence in you."

Tang Qing said with a smile that Su Yang had already explained it before he went on a trip.Don't look for yourself if you can't find yourself in the company's affairs, and don't let the company's people become dependent on themselves.

In fact, the company has a lot of talents, after all, they are recruited with high salaries.They only need to grasp the general direction, and they can complete the rest by themselves, without bothering themselves at all.

Only in this way can I be more relaxed.But for the company and its employees, in the past few years when Qingyao Media has been rising rapidly, everyone has relied too much on Su Yang.They don't feel much confidence in many works without Su Yang's eyes.

But this time, Tang Qing didn't let them trouble Su Yang any more.Su Yang had already participated in the writing of the script, and the script was very good.

The first season of "The Walking Dead" has a total of twelve episodes, and the main actors in it are all Chinese actors.And the protagonist is more familiar to everyone.

Su Donghai is the star of "The Walking Dead", playing a deputy sheriff of a small town.In this TV series, Su Donghai's fighting power is beyond the charts. Playing the roles of everyone is not only powerful in fighting power, but also has great wisdom and responsibility under the seemingly simple and honest appearance.

This time, Su Donghai wants to show the world a strong Chinese man and let everyone know what a strong Chinese man is.Su Donghai is also very well-known in China now, and the "Survival in the Wild" series is Su Donghai's masterpiece.At the same time, Su Donghai also played different roles in many movies and TV series.Although they are not the protagonists, Su Donghai has a special image every time he appears.

This time, Su Donghai finally became the protagonist.Moreover, he is the protagonist who is going international. In the past few years, Su Donghai, like Qin Shumo, is also learning and improving under Su Yang's arrangement, working hard to learn acting skills.

After several years of study, Su Donghai's acting skills are different from the past.At the beginning, Su Yang set Su Donghai's character as a Chinese tough guy.Now "The Walking Dead" is just the first step. With the expansion of Qingyao Media, more powerful tough guy movies will appear one after another. Su Donghai's burly guy and tough guy image will shine on the international stage in the future .

And this time Su Donghai's performance has also been recognized by everyone, Su Donghai performed very well in this drama.The addition of Su Donghai also made this drama more interesting and exciting, and directly added a lot of points to this drama.

Chapter 505 The Chinese TV Series Going International: "The Walking Dead" is about to start broadcasting

Netflix's review department, when Netflix got "The Walking Dead", reviewed the TV series as soon as possible.

When they reviewed it, they were surprised to find that they didn't seem to feel any sense of disobedience in this Chinese TV series from Qingyao Media.

The story takes place in the United States, and there are many American characters. It feels like an American drama.Of course, the quality of this American drama also surprised Netflix.

The quality is very good, and everyone is fascinated by it.This plot is not only exciting and suspenseful, but also full of warmth and Chinese humanistic philosophy.

After watching the first drama, you will have a preliminary understanding of Chinese people's concept of family, kinship, friendship and love, including some concepts of faith.

Although the story takes place in the United States, there are a large number of Chinese and even Chinese students studying abroad and people visiting relatives in the small town.

After watching the twelve episodes of the first season of "The Walking Dead", all the reviewers gave this TV series an excellent grade.

Within Netflix, an excellent audit rating is considered the highest level.Works that can be rated as excellent will enjoy Netflix's largest resource tilt.And such dramas often become classic dramas, bringing a lot of benefits to Netflix.

However, there are not many TV dramas that can be rated as excellent, especially in recent years.Now, a TV series from China has been rated as excellent, which really surprised Netflix.

Although they know that Netflix cannot eat the big market of China, but in the Asian market, especially the Southeast Asian market, there is still a big market for this kind of TV series.Compared with traditional European and American dramas, "The Walking Dead" is obviously more marketable.

"According to the requirements of Qingyao Media, this cooperation still adopts the pay-on-demand model. The first two episodes are free, and the full episode is $19.9 on demand..."

A staff member said that Qingyao Media is unwilling to sell its own works.Therefore, the cooperation still adopts the pay-on-demand model. The first two episodes of the twelve-episode TV series are free, and the average of the next ten episodes is two dollars each.

It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either.For Americans, $20 may be the price of a hamburger.Moreover, copyright awareness in Europe and the United States is stronger than that in China, and everyone has long been used to spending money on copyright.

This cooperation is four or six points.Netflix gets [-]% of the revenue, and Qingyao Media has nothing to do about it.As the world's largest streaming media platform, Netflix often takes the initiative in the hands of Netflix.

Although Netflix also has competitors, in terms of the number of users, Netflix is ​​the most powerful.What's more, the cooperation between the two parties has just begun, and Qingyao Media does not have much capital at present.

In the future, with more and more good dramas and good IPs in Qingyao Media's hands, this ratio will definitely be negotiated again, and Qingyao Media may have the initiative at that time.After all, Qingyao Media holds the copyright. If the first season of "The Walking Dead" becomes popular, then Qingyao Media is qualified to negotiate terms with Netflix. If Netflix refuses to let you, Qingyao Media can not only choose other platforms for the second season , The first season can also be directly withdrawn from the Netflix platform after the contract expires.

Netflix quickly replied to Qingyao Media, and the contract signing was completed very quickly.

In China, Qingyao Media's cooperation is still full-platform cooperation.Because the domestic anti-monopoly law has become more and more perfect in the past few years, and the monopoly copyright of TV series, including movie music, has become more and more strict. Now even Penguin dare not go too far.

Especially for Qingyao Media's works, now Qingyao Media's works are the resources that all platforms want.Everyone knows that Qingyao Media's works make money, so if the three major platforms pay to monopolize resources, then the small platforms can't get along.

So now Qingyao Media's works are basically all-platform cooperation on streaming media platforms.Especially for pay-on-demand works, everyone only publishes one platform, and everyone earns money together.

However, some variety shows still require everyone to spend money to grab the copyright.For Qingyao Media, this is naturally a good thing.Only by operating on the entire platform can the popularity be maximized and the most earned.In the past few years, the works of Qingyao Media have made a lot of money in this way, and gradually other companies have learned this way. Although they are not as good as Qingyao Media, they still make a lot of money.

"Qingyao Media's new drama "The Walking Dead" will be broadcast globally on May [-]st, with Su Yang acting as the screenwriter..."

"Target overseas markets, talk about the big IP of Qingyao Media's zombie series..."

"Let Chinese TV dramas go international, Qingyao Media is ambitious..."

The publicity officially started, and Su Yang and Qin Shuyao also released the news on their Weibo and other social platforms.After the news was released, the TV series naturally aroused heated discussions at home and abroad.

"Wow, Qingyao Media is getting more and more awesome..."

"This is about going international..."

"I want to go to Qingyao Media after graduation..."

"Hahaha, Zhucheng welcomes you, from now on, Qingyao Media will belong to our Zhucheng..."

"The last time I passed by Qingyao Media Headquarters, it was very beautiful..."

"Wow, the screenwriter is Su Yang Ouba again, but unfortunately the director is not..."

"Suyang Ouba is so handsome..."

Su Yang's fan base is too large. After the news of "The Walking Dead" was announced, the director was ignored by countless netizens.People from Qingyao Media are already familiar with this.Anyway, as long as Su Yang participates in a work, then he is the most prominent.

Everyone envied and rejoiced at the same time.Because Su Yang's appeal is too strong, as long as this work can get in touch with Su Yang, basically there is no need to consider the results.

In Europe and America, Su Yang's appeal is also very strong.During this period of time, Su Yang's reputation in Europe and the United States rose rapidly.The reason is because of the book "Game of Thrones".

"Game of Thrones" has not only been published in English, but also in Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and other languages.

Random House has a strong translation team, and after they have translated this book, they will publish it globally.Therefore, the popularity of this novel is slowly brewing in Europe and America, with more and more readers.And Su Yang's Twitter fans are getting more and more.

So when Su Yang posted the news on Twitter, many book fans also looked forward to this TV series.And Netflix has also begun to warm up the TV series.

"The Walking Dead", Qingyao Media's annual drama, is finally about to kick off.Even Su Yang and Qin Shuyao, who are traveling, are full of expectations for this drama, looking forward to the good results of this drama in Europe and the United States. If the results are good, then the reputation of Qingyao Media will be opened up. For Qingyao It is very important for the nationalization of the media.
