After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 338 Buying Copyright

After arranging this matter, Li Zhuo was not in a hurry to leave.

Parents and sisters are all in the imperial capital, which is equivalent to being here at home, so they will naturally accompany the family when they come.

Moreover, since he is here, although he is not very interested in running the company, he still has to put on a show. He has been going to Vientiane Entertainment quite frequently these two days.

With enough cash flow, Liu Chun began to improve the company in all aspects.

The place I rented before was too small, and I rented it in a large compartment of 22 square meters on the 300nd floor of Fuer Building on the East Third Ring Road. Now that the department is going to expand, Liu Chun rented the entire floor area.

The single-floor area of ​​Fuer Building is 1470 square meters, and the monthly rent is 22 yuan. Liu Chun talked with the property manager and finally rented it at a monthly price of 14 yuan.

Now that there are many office buildings in the imperial capital, the vacancy rate is high, and property managers are also worried about not being able to rent them out.

Liu Chun compared prices with him pragmatically, went out to a high-end restaurant for dinner with him, and then found two young girls to serve him and made a full-body horse killing chicken.

After that, the property manager happily gave him a [-]% discount of his authority, and wiped out the three thousand change.

The company occupies an area of ​​the first floor, at least the various departments can be spread out, and the less crowded together.

Moreover, when they go out to recruit, they also look like a big company, so that people will not be disgusted when they see the company's residence.

Liu Chun used to be an executive at Zhongnan Cultural Film and Television Company, and he knew everyone well. He quickly called and started poaching people. He poached a few well-connected managers, producers, and directors, and poached a few more from the original company. A middle management, began to build the company's structure.

Various departments have been built one after another and are gradually on the right track.

The economic man began to focus on the newcomers in the entertainment industry and the freshmen of the acting academy. The copyright department began to look for good IP adaptation seedlings on the online platform, and the production department was planning to make a film and television drama to try their hands as soon as possible...

Li Zhuo didn't ask about specific matters, but he had to check the general direction, and he couldn't let these people get away with it, otherwise Huo Huo's money was too much, and he couldn't stand it as a boss.

The people in the production department were the most enthusiastic, and the person in charge even brought Liu Chun to find Li Zhuo, and proposed to go to Shanghai to buy the film and television copyright of the stand-alone game "Gu Jian Qi Tan III" and make it into a TV series.

Li Zhuo has played this game before, the design is really good, Li Zhuo quite likes it, and it is called the light of domestic stand-alone games.

But if you want to make a drama, this is just a joke, Li Zhuo just gave it back:

"Don't think about it, it's impossible. If you want to make a good film, you need tens of millions of dollars in special effects alone. In addition, you must choose a well-known actor who suits you. Without a real investment of [-] million yuan, you can only make a bad film."

Too much risk.

Liu Chun didn't agree at first, but now that the boss said no, he could only smile wryly.

The person in charge of the production department laughed awkwardly and said:

"Boss, this,... There is always a way to lower the special effects, spend less money, and only need to choose two or three famous actors for the role, and choose young actors for the rest, which is cheaper. Besides, we can also raise funds, and we can also let other companies or long-form video The platform comes in and shares the cost together..."

After Li Zhuo heard this, he looked at the young person in charge, and felt that he was still very aggressive. He tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously, thinking about this problem.

In fact, it is not impossible, it is nothing more than spending more money.

Li Zhuo then said:

"According to what you said, it's actually a bad movie, but you reminded me that I don't know if Gu Jiansan's film and television copyright is still in the hands of Wangyuan Shengtang Company. Send someone to contact it as soon as possible. If it is still there, ask How much money are you willing to sell film and television rights to?"

No matter what, the ip of this game is quite valuable. Get the copyright first, and keep it in your hands if you can't shoot it, so as to avoid being made into a bad movie by other companies.

This is a matter of the copyright department, and Liu Chun intends to arrange it himself.

Li Zhuo stopped him and said:
"Wait a minute, wait until I finish talking."

"Even if the copyright of Gu Jiansan is bought, it is not suitable for filming now. I will talk about it after I have raised all the funds. It is estimated that it will be next year or the year after that."

Naturally, Li Zhuo is not bragging. With his golden finger ability, it will be easier for him to make this ip film and television drama.

It usually takes a long time to raise funds for such a large investment, which is the norm in the industry.

Li Zhuo said again:
"In this case, I remember that there is an author named Weiyu in female frequency, who is suspenseful, and the writing is good. "Half Demon Si Teng" has also become popular, "Dragon Bone Incense" and "West Out of Yumen" are also quite good. If she is famous, the copyright department will also contact her to see if she still has unsold film and television copyrights, if so, we will buy them back and practice."

"Yes, her articles are very popular, and the articles of the female channel are also easy to adapt." Liu Chun also knows the author, mainly because the drama "Si Teng" is popular.

The copyright department soon received news that most of the copyrights of Weiyu's articles had been sold, and only the film and television copyright of "Three Lines of Reincarnation" was still in hand.

Li Zhuo called the general manager Liu Chun and the heads of various departments into a meeting to study this article called "Three Lines of Reincarnation". He is actually a man, and he doesn't usually read many women's articles.

Everyone was discussing while reading the article. Everyone held a mobile phone and typed ideas on the computer notebook at hand from time to time. The style of painting was very strange.

They read the online article for more than two hours, and the result of the discussion afterward was that the story was suspenseful and the characters were pleasing, so it would be no problem to buy it and shoot it.

I don't know why other companies didn't like it, maybe it's because the novel is too famous?
After confirming this matter, the copyright department sent people to purchase the copyright of the novel.

At the same time, the news from Gu Jiansan was that the mobile game copyright has been sold, and the film and television copyright is still in Wangyuan Shengtang's hands, but the asking price is very high.

The news came that Gu Jiansan's film and television copyright was asking for 2500 million yuan. This price is indeed... No wonder such a popular IP has not been sold yet.

It is said that the research and development expenses of the entire Gu Jian San only cost 3000 million yuan. Is this intended to directly pay back the cost of a film and television copyright?

Li Zhuo complained, but he quickly took the company's people to the SJS High-tech Park of the Imperial Capital, where Wangyuan Shengtang was.

He met Mr. Meng, the boss of this company, and Li Zhuo was in his office, and chatted with him alone for nearly two hours.

Li Zhuo asked him how he felt about investing in stand-alone games, and his answer was that he was tired.

"The stand-alone market is small, and there are many piracy. If you invest too much money, you can only lose money. If you invest too little money, you will not be able to achieve results. Moreover, foreign 3A games are the mainstream, and comparisons are inevitable. In the end, it often ends up being thankless..."

"If it's just like this, it's nothing more than making a stand-alone machine. Once there is some success, online game companies will come to recruit people. What Tencent, Netease, Mihayou, the money paid is much higher than my company. Those who have proved My own gamers are even willing to give double or triple the treatment, how can this be able to keep people, after the establishment of the ancient sword 4 project, the progress is not fast, it is because of this reason..."

After hearing this, Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"So I'm here to give you money, I'm here to ask how to sell Gu Jiansan's film and television copyright?"

Boss Meng laughed loudly after hearing this:

"Brother, I personally don't take care of specific matters. Let me call and ask the people below about the situation."

This is also an old fox who pushes everything down, saving face and bargaining.

Li Zhuo smiled "sincerely" and said:
"I seldom ask about specific matters. This time, it's about the company. I heard it's the parent company of Gu Jiansan. As a loyal user, I definitely want to open my eyes."

"Then we are the same, brother." Boss Meng smiled "sincerely".

This Boss Meng is rather shrewd, it is a bit difficult to take advantage of him.

Li Zhuo then asked casually:
"I heard that Gu Jian 4 is going to be a 3A game. I'm afraid the investment will be at least hundreds of millions, right? Is there a funding gap?"
