After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

"That should be fine. 'Bud' probably just quoted that price on purpose, waiting for you to bargain."

"Also, I met with the manager of the company that said they wanted to buy the book and film rights, and I also looked up this company called New Lemon."

"It was founded by a director in the industry named Wei Ze. Although it's only a short time old, it has Penguin Capital behind it, so its qualifications are not a problem."

"In the past two years, the company has also produced two online movies, both of which were profitable."

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

This is the benefit of having someone to help him take care of these things.

The entertainment industry is a mixed bag, and novel copyrights have not yet reached the heights of the past, but the concept of IP has emerged, and the film and television adaptation rights of novels by well-known writers are becoming increasingly valuable.

This has given rise to a group of intermediary companies that first trick writers into signing the copyright for a very small price, and then resell it at a high price.

The simplest thing is to tamper with the contract, saying that it will be adapted into a theatrical movie, but keeping delaying filming because there is no time limit in the contract.

There are also those who churn out a film that no one watches, just to keep the copyright.

There are endless ways to cheat people.

When it comes to playing dirty, apart from the financial sector, few other industries are dirtier than the entertainment industry.

If Lu Qingfeng were to do it himself, who knows how much time and energy it would take.

And Yang Xiuxiu can focus on these things.

"They are willing to pay five million for the film and television adaptation rights of 'Those Years'."

Lu Qingfeng was stunned by the price on the other end of the phone.

When talking about this matter last time, Lu Qingfeng went to fully understand the current copyright market situation.

The copyright fees of a novel have a lot to do with the fame of the author, the scope of the novel's dissemination, and whether it is a popular genre.

It is common for popular works to be priced at over 10 million yuan.

But note that the prerequisite is that it is very hot.

There are not many such works on the market.

Most of them are in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions are rare.

Youth literature is currently the main force in theatrical film adaptations, with small investments and high returns.

This part is definitely a plus.

But his current fame does not support such a high premium, and there has been no precedent for successful adaptation before.

Although the work is popular, it is still in the serialization stage. How dare this film and television company take such a gamble without seeing the subsequent plot?

Lu Qingfeng himself estimated the price to be around two million.

He didn't understand whether this was because the person was stupid and had a lot of money, or if there was some other purpose.

Yang Xiuxiu quickly gave the answer.

"They want you to play the lead role."

This was calculated.

Lu Qingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I don't have time, Sister Xiuxiu, you can continue to talk to them. If you can reach an agreement, then talk about it. If you can't reach an agreement, then forget it."

Lu Qingfeng was not opposed to being an actor, he just felt that the time and energy he put in was not as much as the rewards in other aspects.

It takes at least half a month to shoot a movie.

Most of this time is wasted waiting for the show.

After the release, if the quality is not good, it will damage its own reputation.

If his acting skills were worse, he would easily be criticized by passers-by and his popularity would be ruined.

And all he could get was the film remuneration.

As for music, he can control the quality himself.

But for film and television dramas, even if the script of the previous life is taken out word for word, the effect will be very different if the director is different.

Unless you are the director and in control of the entire crew.

Similarly, he will receive cash for the film and television adaptation rights he sells, rather than any profit sharing.

As for the so-called profit sharing, the film and television companies would like you to do this so that they can share the costs.

In fact, although the film industry has high profits, its success rate is extremely low.

If you use copyright fees to invest, you may lose everything.

There is an iron rule in the film and television industry: don't invest your own money, because if you lose money, it will be the investors who suffer the loss.
