The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 645 How Much Money Does Jiangnan Make 3
This is actually a very wrong idea, and it can even be said that he stabbed himself in advance.

Because a TV series like this that is already famous abroad has very serious preconceived stereotypes. As long as your adapted TV series is slightly different from the original version, you will immediately get angry reprimand from fans of the original version.

But if you really shoot exactly the same, you will get more ridicule. Let’s imagine, from 2000 to 2022, how many TV series have been changed twice and changed three times. It’s not that the TV series are not as good as the original version. Which one is there? Can it really get the ratings and the memory of the audience?
Instead, it's better not to advertise that it is an adaptation of a TV series.

All in all, adapting a TV series is something that is not human inside and out. You may get a little traffic at the beginning, but you will definitely get a lot of infamy in the end.

The only TV in history that was able to adapt a TV series and get a huge broadcast, probably only had the temptation to go home, but because Hunan Satellite TV did not promote it from the beginning to the end at that time, it was an adaptation of a Korean TV series. In addition, there are too few audiences who have seen the original work, so instead, with its high-quality script and classic plot, it became a hit at the time.

On the contrary, later a film and television company bought an adaptation of Full House, and then hyped up the adapted TV series. As a result, because of the acting skills of the male and female protagonists and the slightly brain-dead script, which was better than other brain-dead TV series at the time, it was sprayed like a dog. Bloody head, never red from beginning to end.

By the way, by the way, the temptation to go home has finished the script, and the original Korean drama "Temptation of Wife" was released in 2008, and now there is nothing at all, but the temptation to go home is being filmed, and it is currently in the hands of Tangren Film and Television One of the two half-step masterpieces.

In the future, if there is still a TV series called Temptation of a Wife, then there is a high probability that Tang Ren Film and Television will be asked to purchase the copyright.

So even if Boss Huang bought the adaptation of the script of Friends, he would never take the initiative to promote that it is a revised version of Friends, and the name is not even called "Friends", but is still called "Love Apartment", which is probably a little bit of Boss Huang. Little obsession.

Of course, Boss Huang will not admit that when he was negotiating with the TV station in the United States to buy the adaptation copyright of "Friends", the other party asked for 2 million US dollars.

After all, Friends can be regarded as the most popular TV series IP in the world at that time. Television production companies in countless countries want to buy the copyright of the script adaptation of Friends, and then adapt it to local Friends.

It’s just that the production company of Friends didn’t sell it. It’s not that they were reluctant, but the price was very high. So Jiangnan Group was the first to discuss the copyright of the adaptation of Friends, so they naturally set the price high.

Boss Huang felt that 2 million dollars was too high, so it would be better to sneak up on his own plagiarism, at worst push the director and screenwriter out and make the audience scold him. Our boss Huang himself is naturally a white lotus.

After all, this is all done by his subordinates, so what does it have to do with our boss Huang.

Then the two sides started a period of extremely tangled negotiations. After a month of negotiations, both sides were very angry.While negotiating, the production company of Friends repeatedly emphasized how well-known its own IP is in the world, and the three words "Friends" alone can sell for 1 million U.S. dollars.

So the negotiator of Tangren Film and Television directly said on the negotiating table, "Then I don't want these three words, you can sell the script to me for [-] million!"

"The other party thought that the representative of Tangren Film and Television was speaking out of anger. After all, all the companies that changed Friends were aimed at the three characters of Friends. Who would do this kind of thing that only buys the content of the script and not the name of the TV series? things."

So the other party answered directly, "Okay, if you promise not to use the name of Friends, and promise not to use "Friends" as a promotional rhetoric in external publicity, I will sell it to you for [-] million!"

"..." The negotiator vaguely remembered the fact that Boss Huang didn't seem to care about the name Friends, so he quickly called Boss Huang to report!

"There are such good things!" Boss Huang was overjoyed when he heard that, and asked the negotiator to agree to this condition without saying a word, so the other party could only look at the brand new version produced by Tangren Film and Television.

Thinking that my family has been struggling for a month, the negotiation is really tiring, and if the name of Friends is not used, then I seem to have more operational plans, so the two parties reached a script adaptation contract.

It was agreed that Tangren Film and Television, which has purchased the right to adapt the script, must not use names such as Friends or Friends China Edition, and is not allowed to use related names for publicity, otherwise it will have to pay 1 million U.S. dollars and other conditions, and then signed the contract. Boss Huang bought the rights to adapt the screenplay of Friends.

The next step is naturally to arrange for the screenwriters under him to start adapting the script of Friends, and there is another advantage of directly buying the script adaptation rights of Friends, that is, the script of Friends has a total of 10 seasons, and one season can be released every year.

And because the scripts of Friends are generally of high quality, it is conceivable that the popularity of iPartment will not decrease in the next 10 years, and all audiences can drive to the latest iPartment every year. Taken together, this is probably a bright sword I also need the card of Niu Cha.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Boss Huang directly deleted the characters of Lu Zhanbo and Tang Wanyu when adapting the script, and then added Zhang Wei and Zhuge Dali only to the characters into the script. The script of the final 8 protagonists, and this script routine will last for a total of 10 seasons.

It's not that Boss Huang is dissatisfied with Lu Zhanbo and Tang Wanyu, it's just that the scenes of this pair in the previous life were scattered, and the CP also seemed very chaotic.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Zhanbo's character design is far less brilliant than Zhang Wei's character design. Originally, he was only a cameo in the first season. Zhang Wei, who came out of the toilet, was forced to rely on his own character design Charm, from a cameo character to a resident character in iPartment, and successfully became the biggest attraction of the whole show in season 1, he and Zhuge Dali’s CP basically took care of everything at that time hot search.

So Zhang Wei is undoubtedly more successful than Lu Zhanbo, so Boss Huang simply let Zhang Wei appear on stage from beginning to end.

However, because of the extra CPs of Zhang Wei and Zhuge Dali, the script of Friends, which was originally 6 pairs of CPs, needs to be expanded. Considering that 10 films will be filmed in one go, this requires a total of more than 200 pairs from beginning to end. The script of the episode moved the knife.

Now Tangren Film and Television has organized a professional screenwriting team to work on it, but it is estimated that it will take a year or two to change the script, and it will take a long time to wait.

Tangren Films and Television was followed by Jiangnan Game Studio, that is, Daewoo Game Studio, which was previously acquired by Boss Huang and produced Legend of Sword and Fairy. Later, Boss Huang simply changed its name to Jiangnan Game Studio.

However, the current revenue of this game company is 0, because they have not yet produced any actual products. The Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, which is currently under development, is expected to wait until 05 to debut.

Although the entire series of Legend of Sword and Fairy has been logged into the 00 game center before, as a benefit, it is free for all players, and no penny has been received.

As for the blind box, peripheral products, and TV series adaptation rights, they were all licensed to Jiangnan Commercial for free, and income was not considered at that time.

However, starting from 04, this game studio will start independent financial accounting. At that time, everything will be done according to the business process, and it will be able to generate income when Xianjian 4 exits.

Of course, since the name has been changed to Jiangnan Game Studio, they can no longer stick to the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. They have already separated a team and are working on a brand new game called "Plants vs. Zombies" ".

This game is naturally made by Boss Huang to Jiangnan Game Studio, and it is amazing that Boss Huang told everyone in the studio that he had a dream in which he dreamed that zombies wanted to eat it, and he ran all the way In a house, I found a magical plant that can continuously spit out peas, and the peas shot by this plant have a miraculous effect on zombies, and can directly kill zombies, so Boss Huang was saved.

After waking up from the dream, Boss Huang ordered the studio to make the game, and at the same time gave the general structure and gameplay of the game.

When they first received this task, the employees of Jiangnan Game Studio were devastated. It is too nonsense to decide to make a game just because of a dream.

But Boss Huang's order has no room for rejection, but when they actually started making this game, the attitude of the entire Jiangnan Game Studio gradually changed. Up to now, Jiangnan Game Studio's confidence in this game has changed. It is very sufficient, and the person in charge of the studio even said that this is a game that will not be inferior to Legend of Sword and Fairy.

The most important thing is that the mode of this game is very unique. The producer checked all the computer games in the world and found that there is no game similar to the gameplay of Plants vs. Zombies. This alone can be a big hit.

In addition, Boss Huang is very quick to give money, and the game is produced in a cartoon style. The whole progress is surprisingly fast. By July, Plants vs. Zombies will be available on the OO game center.

So we can look forward to the financial report of Jiangnan Game Studio in 2004.

After the game studio, it was Jiangnan Mall's turn.

After experiencing the e-commerce war last year, the entire Jiangnan Mall has no rivals in Huaxia. It looks aggressive and has integrated three top e-commerce companies in China. In the novel, as an opponent of Jiangnan Mall, in exchange for a few chapters of text descriptions, I don’t have the ability to describe it, so I’m about to go bankrupt if I run it like this.

At the beginning of this year, eBay may have decided to replace the original Chinese CEO Li Guoqing with an Indian CEO from the United States, thinking that this person has the ability to change the world, Boss Huang didn't even bother to know the CEO's name.
