Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 95: Hang street lights sooner or later!
The so-called dinner party was just a conversation between Zhou Hao and Peter Lam, while Lin Xina was responsible for eating.

This girl usually has to eat within the calorie intake limit every day, which is basically the same as being fed with feed. It is a rare occasion when she comes across a big meal, so she will come and have a try.

Peter Lam said he was not happy about it, but in the end he turned a blind eye and let her come.

After eating just two mouthfuls of the cold dish, Peter Lam couldn't wait to get down to business.

"There are no outsiders here, so I won't beat around the bush. We at Shanhai are very interested in your Nirvana in Fire and we want the film and television rights to it."

Zhou Hao learned his lesson this time. "Boss Lin, my words don't count. Part of the copyright is in Miaobi's hands."

“Xiao Zhou, you are being boring.” Lin Jianyue shook his head and said with a smile: “It is true that Miaobi has some copyrights, but most of it is still in your hands. And with your current position in the industry, you still have some say.”

"As long as you nod, Miaobi will give you some face no matter what. Besides, Shanhai already has a strategic cooperation agreement with Miaobi."

"If that's the case... why did you come to me alone?" Zhou Hao was a little confused. "Ordinarily, if you just go through the formal process, Miaobi won't object."

Peter Lam took a sip from his wine glass and said, "Since last month, we have already tried to contact Miaobi three times."

Zhou Hao was stunned, "Why haven't I heard anything about it?"

“That’s normal.” Peter Lam said with a smile, “Because Miaobi is now treating you as a cash cow, the copyright of your works has actually been put up for auction by them, and the highest bidder will win.”

"Miaobi has worked so hard to promote your Nirvana in Fire for a purpose. Capital never does business without profit."

Zhou Hao frowned when he heard this, "But Miaobi has already been with you Shanhai..."

Peter Lam shook his head. “In any field, laws and contracts are used to constrain honest people. As long as the benefits of breach of contract are high enough, there will be people willing to trample on all the rules.”

"If you can betray a law that is under fire, how much more so a commercial cooperation contract? As long as your script can bring enough profit, the liquidated damages in the contract are meaningless. There is plenty of capital willing to pay for it."

Zhou Hao was stunned. "But so far, my works haven't achieved any convincing results in the film and television industry. Can this drive up the price?"

"Xiao Zhou, you underestimate capital." Lin Jianyue shook his head and smiled, "They are just bad, not stupid. They can clearly distinguish between good and bad things!"

"What kind of subject matter is good? What kind of stories do audiences like? What should normal aesthetics look like? Do you think they don't know it in their hearts?"

"They know it better than anyone else! But the high-quality series that the audience wants are too time-consuming and costly, which runs counter to the purpose of capital pursuit! Those works that are short-lived and fast-paced and aimed at leeks are the best sickles!"

"As for what kind of damage this overdraft harvest will cause to the entire circle, they don't care at all. After destroying the ecology of this circle, they will move on to the next field."

"Your Nirvana in Fire has so many hidden elements that can be explored. It is indeed very suitable for film and television adaptation and has great plasticity."

"In the hands of a normal crew, it can become a very classic light-political costume drama."

"When it comes to those crews who like to stir up too much sugar, they can just adapt it and dig out several couples to make a sweet and abusive costume idol drama."

"There is even another possibility... The industry is now beginning to explore a new genre called Danmei. Your novel also has the basic material for this genre, so the cost of adapting it is very low..."

"Cough cough cough-"

Lin Xina almost choked to death on a mouthful of salmon, her pretty face flushed red, "What's going on? Even this kind of thing can be filmed now? It's so disgusting!"

“It’s too normal.” Peter Lam sighed. “Think about it, who are the main players in the fan circle… As long as there is profit, those investors don’t care about the social impact.”

Zhou Hao got goosebumps after hearing this. He had witnessed with his own eyes in his previous life how crazy those BL CP fans were!

Rushing for blue V online and causing trouble at offline gatherings, it’s almost no different from shoe cult!

He could imagine what would happen if the copyright of "Nirvana in Fire" fell into the hands of those BL drama crews - Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan, they are so good!

Meng Zhimei Changsu, Lin Chenfeiliu...

There are CPs everywhere, it’s scary just thinking about it!
"As far as I know, at least three companies have contacted Miaobi now." Peter Lam continued, "If you want evidence, I can provide it to you."

Zhou Hao didn't say anything. He knew very well that it was basically impossible for Lin Jianyue to tell such a lie as the cost of exposing him was too low.

"If you don't want the adaptation rights to end up in the hands of a weird crew, you should take the initiative into your own hands." Peter Lam added.

Zhou Hao nodded, feeling a little unhappy.

If "Nirvana in Fire" was finally filmed into a low-quality, saccharine drama or even a BL drama, he would never be able to accept it.

Miaobi is now looking for people to contact without saying a word, which is a bit disgusting.

After quietly observing Zhou Hao's expression, Peter Lam continued his lobbying while the iron was hot.

"Xiao Zhou, with the filming of Day and Night now underway, you should have a rough idea of ​​our Shanhai style. If you plan to personally select a partner, I hope you can give us priority." "We can't guarantee that we can make Nirvana in Fire a classic, but at least we won't change it into something weird. You will still be in charge of the script, and we will fully respect the original author's opinion."

Hearing this, Lin Xina also put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhou Hao expectantly.

If we were to ask who most wants to bring "Nirvana in Fire" to the screen, she would definitely be one of them.

This book is exactly what she likes!
When Mei Changsu died in the ending, she also secretly wiped away her tears.

If this work was adapted into a crappy TV series, she would be so angry that she died!

She has no control over other crews, but if it is handed over to Shanhai Film and Television to shoot... whoever dares to mess around will be directly closed and let Grandpa go!

Seeing the expectant eyes of the two, Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment and decided to play it safe. "I'll go back and talk to Miaobi first to see what they have to say."

"As long as my words are still effective, I will definitely give priority to Shanhai."

Upon hearing this, Peter Lam smiled immediately.

"Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you. We won't give you a hard-and-fast offer this time. We will directly give you a share of the copyright revenue."

Damn it?

Zhou Hao's heart was instantly moved.

The copyright income of "Nirvana in Fire" is no small sum. The copyright was sold at a sky-high price of 2.5 million during its first broadcast on Earth, which caused a sensation in the entire film and television industry!

The second and third rounds of broadcasting rights were snapped up by major TV stations and continued to sell well.

What’s even more frightening is that the popularity of this drama spread directly overseas to the entire East Asia region, and even set off a viewing frenzy in Japan.

There are even gossip brochures about Nirvana in Fire on daily flights, showing how popular it is.

As long as Shanhai's version is not bad, the copyright income will definitely be astronomical.

Even if the dividend ratio he can get is extremely small, as long as the profit base is large enough, the dividends he gets will still be a huge fortune!
This partner is available!

But first, we have to sort things out with Miaobi.

These black-hearted capitalists are going too far!

Hang street lights sooner or later!
After returning to the hotel, he immediately opened the editor-in-chief's chat box.

Without any fancy politeness, he got straight to the point: "Boss, is the company secretly selling the film and television rights of Nirvana in Fire?"

In the study room of an apartment in Mingzhu City.

Yan Lei, who was reviewing the recommended places, opened the chat box and his heart skipped a beat.

"Who told you that? That's not true!"

Feng Lai Shi Jie: "There is no best. Boss, you dug me out, so I have always respected you, and I also have deep feelings for Miao Bi."

"In the past two years, many websites offered to buy me out for a huge sum of money, but I ignored them. Partly because I was optimistic about Miaobi's future, and partly because of nostalgia."

"But if the website does something behind my back, don't blame me for not being sympathetic. I'm not the first one to break my promise."

"I know, I know." Yan Lei was already sweating profusely, as this gentleman was his designated right-hand man.

If he gets so angry that he changes jobs, he will vomit three liters of blood!

"Don't worry, I'll find out the situation and get back to you as soon as possible!"

"Okay, please."

After the chat, Yan Lei slammed the table hard, cursing non-stop.

The real owner has already come to question us, so this cannot be groundless.

But as the editor-in-chief, he really didn't hear any news at all.

In other words... the company may have concealed the truth about him as well.

These damn black-hearted capitalists finally managed to support a great IP star, but now they can't wait to squeeze his blood out of him.

They didn't even bother to give the editor-in-chief a bite of soup... Could their eating habits be any uglier? !
