Chapter 224 The first issue of the magazine
There is nothing strange about the film and television copyright of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" sold, and there is nothing strange about the price of 15 million. What everyone wonders is why the first person to take Chu Liuxiang's copyright was Haiyang Stv, not Xingyue GTV.
With the exposure of Gu Yongsheng's identity, his relationship with Xingyue TV has become clear. Especially after "Return of the Condor Heroes" became popular, Gu Yongsheng's close relationship with Gong Chengen, the young master of the Gong family, was also released in a planned manner. The Internet and gossip magazines even openly speculated that Gu Yongsheng had invested in Xingyue.
Therefore, when hearing this news, everyone was confused. Xingyue thought that this novel had no adaptation value, so she voluntarily gave up? Obviously, it was impossible. Although Gu Yongsheng's previous martial arts novels were adapted by several martial arts novels that failed to achieve the amazing ratings of "My Fair Princess", their results were definitely among the best in the industry. Especially "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", they have achieved impressive results as a prime-time rating championship many times. Moreover, the film adaptation has also applied for project approval, and several major film companies have expressed their investment intentions.
Xingyue TV has proved that investing in Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts is definitely a sure-making deal. As the most direct beneficiaries, they actually gave up this novel with more topical and adaptation potential, which is really hard to guess.
The most important thing is that this novel begins on Xingyue TV live broadcast. With the style of the eldest son of the Gong family, did not get the copyright when they collaborated at that time?
For a time, various speculations appeared on the Internet, such as Gu Yongsheng and Xingyue’s relationship was broken. "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was bought out by Qianhong, so he had no say. In order to balance Xingyue and the ocean, Qianhong covered the relevant forums with various specious and incredible analyses.
At this time, Qianhong Culture finally came forward to explain. First, they denied the speculation that they bought out "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and then emphasized in a particularly solemn manner. They made this decision, after discussing with Gu Yongsheng himself, and finally gave the ultimate truth of the whole thing: the reason why the novel adaptation rights were sold to Haiyang was because the price of Haiyang was higher.
There are not so many conspiracies, nor any relationships. There is no need to break up copyright disputes. It is purely the truth that the ocean bids high, simple and rough.
Of course, what Qianhong Culture said is not the whole fact. They did solicit Gu Yongsheng's opinions, and Gu Yongsheng also clearly told them that the novel had been verbally promised to Xingyue, but in such a contract era, verbal promises had no practical significance. In particular, Gu Yongsheng finally chose to leave Qianhong, and the sale of this adaptation rights became subtle.
Lu Yichou made three calls to Liu Jingting to communicate about this matter, pointing out that if you want to maximize the benefits of this novel, the best way to operate is to bid. While Lu Yichou was speaking, he sent the various auction procedures and planning books he prepared to Liu Jingting's email. The detailed rules of more than 20 or three pages made Liu Jingting unable to read them.
I have to say that after so long, Lu Yichou still has some understanding of him. For example, he is loyal, respects human nature, and does not like trouble. Of course, this plan is customized for his special quality.
"Of course he can see our purpose," Lu Yichou said when he was having a meeting with the operation director. "But, isn't this just a step? Xingyue dared to pay five million with his verbal promise. Isn't this clearly trying to make a fortune? Gu Yongsheng is not the kind of pretentious lover who will agree."
"But, his eight-time friendship with a young master of the Gong family does not seem to be fake."
"I have already given them "My Fair Princess", what else should I do? This time, Xingyue is not authentic. I asked them to add some points, and I only got an eight million. Isn't it fooling people? What is Gu Yongsheng's current value? They didn't ask about it? Eight million in eight series is really easy to plot."
Lu Yichou's anger naturally had the performance of a businessman, but he was really unhappy when facing Xingyue's attitude, especially Haiyang was so attentive and active, so he claimed 10 million, and it was a floating contract. That is to say, if the adaptation income exceeded a certain range, the subsequent share would be divided in a ratio of one thousand. After seeing Qianhong hesitating, he immediately raised the price to 15 million.
When I saw that they were coming to me with sincerity.
Therefore, when Lu Yichou talked with Gu Yongsheng, he vividly described this comparison and appropriately replaced his emotions. After three exchanges, Gu Yongsheng finally accepted the cooperation between Qianhong and Haiyang.
As soon as the cooperation was confirmed, Liu Jingting immediately received a call from Gong Chengen. Of course, he did not come to question it, but asked. Liu Jingting answered very frankly: "Your Xingyue quotes are too small, Qianhong will not agree. To be honest, I don't want to agree either. Your elder brother is too cruel."
Gong Chengen immediately felt ashamed and apologized repeatedly. He was so direct because he treated himself as a friend, otherwise he would have fooled him.
After Gong Chengen hung up the phone, he went directly to Gong Chengpin's office and saw Gong Chengpin talking on the phone respectfully.
"I'll call to explain myself, yes, I understand."
"This time, it was my misjudgment, okay."
A busy voice came from the phone soon, and Gong Chengpin held it silently for five or six seconds before putting it down.
"Grandpa?" Gong Chengen asked.
"yes."
"Talk about Gu Yongsheng?"
"yes."
Gong Chengen walked to the guest seat, Da Lala sat down, looked at the elder brother and said, "How much did you give?"
“Eight million.”
"Eight...million?" Gong Chengen almost squirted water.
"Do you have something to do?" Gong Chengpin glanced at his younger brother indifferently and asked.
"What do you think? Such a good project, because of your selfishness..."
"Enough!" Gong Chengpin interrupted, "How much do you know about the company?"
"I don't know much, but you don't think it's too much if you put a business of 30 million to 8 million?"
"You are holding on to your friends, when can you put the company first in thinking about things?"
Gong Chengen smiled and said, "Don't think you are the only one who is fighting for the company, you are the only one who is fully committed to the company."
Gong Chengpin sighed with a rare sigh and said, "We are now building a film and television base, the largest film and television base in the country."
Gong Chengen was stunned. He had been busy with "My Fair Princess 2" recently, and he didn't even know about such a thing.
"Not many people know about this. Don't talk about it everywhere for now."
"You told me that I want me to explain it to him?"
Gong Chengpin defaults.
"If this is the case, shouldn't we win him more?"
Gong Chengpin was silent. He was unable to speak now. Judging from his previous cooperation with Gu Yongsheng, he seemed to have a very weak sense of contract, gentle and kind, but he was full of martial arts spirit. He paid attention to making promises when doing things, but this time...
"Then this "Book and Sword" is also about to give up. He told me before. Now there are ten film and television companies that have come to him to discuss cooperation."
"Five million." Gong Chengpin didn't want to say much, so he gave the result directly.
Gong Chengen was also stunned for a while and said, "He started his intention in "Return of the Condor Heroes", so the whole cooperation was natural and we can't do this in the future. I can't kidnap him based on friendship. All he can do is give me priority."
"Five million." Gong Chengpin emphasized for the second time, with a look of "Don't you understand this?"
"You talk to him."
Gong Chengpin looked down at the documents on the table and said, "What else is there?"
"It's gone." Gong Chengen turned around and left.
"Xiao En--" Gong Chengen walked to the door, Gong Chengpin suddenly shouted, and Gong Chengen stopped and turned around.
"I apologize to him for me."
Gong Chengen didn't answer and turned around and went out.
...
The day before leaving the UK, Ye Jue and Sun Boya arranged a one-day trip to London. After arriving in London, Liu Jingting discovered that he was the only one present, which was the first time he was here. Here, his road-death attributes also exploded the most thoroughly.
"Liu Jingting, I didn't expect you to be talented. You are actually a road tycoon."
After going to the bathroom and getting lost to everyone, it took an hour to successfully get back with everyone, Kang Lingyue couldn't help but complain.
Liu Jingting smiled bitterly. In that world, he didn't even understand the third-rate small city where the university was located, let alone an international metropolis like London?
"All road deaf is because of laziness," Yang Lilu looked at Liu Jingting and said, "As long as you are willing to remember the road, how can you not find the direction for so many landmark buildings?"
Liu Jingting did not defend himself, and humbly accepted everyone's criticism. Then, at a certain intersection, he once again stubbornly went the wrong direction.
"I think it's a matter of talent, so God is more than fair." Sun Boya said with a smile.
The Fair God had a heavy rain that night.
In London, with temperate oceanic climate, it is understandable that it rains heavily in winter, but Yang Lilu, who lived alone in a foreign hotel for the first time, was so scared that she couldn't sleep. After several attempts, she decided to go to Kang Lingyue to set up a shop, and then she knocked on Liu Jingting's door.
The magazine and "Return of the Pearl 2" are about to be released, and of course Liu Jingting has not yet slept. After opening the door, he saw Yang Lilu and asked in confusion: "Have you walked into the wrong door?"
Yang Lilu is so embarrassed. Fortunately, she even scolded him for being crazy during the day, but the result is...
"Haha, I'm also a roadblock..."
"No, I'm here to find you."
Liu Jingting immediately took a look at him, "It's so late, it's not good for you to come to me," and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
Yang Lilu gave him a fierce look and then returned the same way.
...
On the plane back to China the next day, Yang Lilu took the initiative to choose to sit with Kang Lingyue.
When the plane landed in the river and sea, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The first episode of "My Fair Princess 2" was already halfway through. Liu Jingting learned the news not because Gong Chengen told him, but that there were TVs playing the drama at the airport.
At this time, more than 65% of the TVs in the country were playing this drama.
After a year, the "return of the pearl" storm swept across the country again.
The day after Liu Jingting returned to China, he announced on his microblog: the new magazine "Jianglu" was launched nationwide on March 3. In addition to "Book and Sword Eternal Revenge" being moved to the magazine serialization, there is also a new martial arts novel that follows "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"!
The commemorative activities there have not been completely over yet, and the works here have already come out.
Chapter completed!
