Chapter 17: A Book Conferred God!(2/2)
I finally fell in love with the novel, but the author actually held the copyright and refused to sell it.
200,000,
He thinks that he has already given a lot,
Why do directors like to find works from the Internet and make them into film and television works?
Is it because the story is well written?
yes,
But not all,
One very important point is... Internet articles naturally have huge traffic,
Those paying readers are loyal fans of this book,
They have paid real money to prove that they will support the book,
Then if it is made into a film and television work, it will also attract a large number of fans of the original work to pay for it.
Therefore, this is also the reason why the more subscribers there are for books on the Qidian website, the more expensive the copyrights will be.
Wei Fan bought "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" simply because he fell in love with the story of this novel.
The story and writing style in it coincided with his shooting concept.
If he buys this novel, he can only buy novels,
No traffic, no fans.
Even if the performance of this work is too poor, it may be criticized after it is released...
"A new author, a new work, with nothing but some popularity on Weibo, how can he have the confidence to reject me?"
Wei Fan has no plans to increase the price,
He has not saved much money over the years, plus the investment he can get,
The total shooting cost was only 4 million,
For scripts, up to 20% of the upfront cost will be given!
You must know that this is just a novel. To adapt it into a filmable script requires the efforts of screenwriters.
The novel adaptation rights are RMB 200,000, and the screenwriting team’s fee is RMB 600,000.
After much thought, it was difficult for him to give a higher price.
"If he holds the copyright so much, could it be that... he has a back-up plan?"
Thinking of this, Wei Fan's mind was suddenly opened.
He heard someone from Qidian’s copyright department talk about the author’s background.
"That's right! He majored in screenwriting, so he must know his stuff, and if I remember correctly... Wang Xiang is currently leading the screenwriting department at Beiyi. With him as an old screenwriter in charge, students should be able to distinguish the pros and cons, so since he doesn't
To sell...there must be a way for me to raise the price."
"This student...is definitely not simple!"
Wei Fan knew,
He can't delay it any longer,
He was determined to win this novel,
Chapter completed!
