The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Zhang Yanping observed the opponent in front of him. After discussing for almost a whole morning, including past memories, he still admired Ye Jiayi.

She was professional and well prepared.

It has to be said that in the previous discussions, he was indeed somewhat convinced.

However, there are too many things involved in this matter and too important.

Looking at his watch, it was already eleven and a half hours, Zhang Yanping stood up and said: "It's getting late now, Ms. Ye, let's take a rest first, we also need to discuss internally."

Ye Jiayi nodded slightly, with a graceful attitude.

"We have prepared a lounge for you. You can try our cafeteria, which is very good. If you want to go back and have a rest, you can also return to the hotel. At three o'clock in the afternoon, let's continue to meet in this office."

"OK."

After watching Ye Jiayi and the others leave, Zhang Yanping turned his head and said to the rest of his family members from 'Penguin Films', 'Penguin Investment' and 'Fist': "Let's go to eat first, and make some for the afternoon. Get ready. We'll meet in an hour."

...

Sitting in front of the laptop, Zhang Yanping was eating quickly while flipping through the documents.

In his mind now, he was weighing what Ye Jiayi said before.

The main content of the proposal put forward by Dimension Entertainment is actually a few:

First of all, Dimension Entertainment will never be purely a producer. From film investment and production to the sharing of the entire film and television copyright, this is the major premise of Dimension Entertainment's willingness to cooperate. Otherwise, what's the point of being a producer and earning that little money? Get angry and get kicked away?

Dimension Entertainment has long passed the age of being a producer for others.

Secondly, the second point, Dimension Entertainment requires the dominance of film production. In other words, from script to design, from shooting to post-production, it is all about dimensional entertainment. The two parties can cooperate, but when there is a disagreement, no matter the specific content or the direction, the idea of ​​dimension entertainment will be the main one in the end.

Ye Jiayi insisted on this very much, and she said that this was the request of Fan Zhe, the company's chief boss and chief content manager.

Cooperation is of course important in making content, but only one voice is needed to grasp the general direction. Fan Zhe doesn't want to have many different voices on one project, which will greatly affect the final result of the work.

These are the two most important requirements for Dimension Entertainment.

Of course, since it is a cooperation, it is impossible for Dimension Entertainment to pay nothing.

First of all, in terms of investment, Dimension Entertainment guarantees that the production budget of "League of Legends" will not be less than one billion yuan. Secondly, after the establishment of the project, Dimension Entertainment guarantees that when the "League of Legends" project is needed, all art resources will be given priority to this project.

Now, everyone knows how powerful Dimension Entertainment's art is. All their successful works so far may have different themes and styles, but one thing is the same: the visual effect is really strong.

Especially the most powerful one, that is the two or three minute opening animation of "Taiwu 2", the effect of that animation shocked the world. Not to mention domestic, even Blizzard Entertainment, which claims to be the best CG, can't do this.

It can even be said that if the "League of Legends" project is handed over to Dimension Entertainment, then at least in terms of production quality, there is no need to worry at all.

What's more, the production cost of one billion yuan is guaranteed, which is all real money.

In this regard, Zhang Yanping fully agrees with Dimension Entertainment.

Under such a major premise, the core of the real contention between the two sides lies in three issues.

One of the most important issues is copyright.

Originally, the two had absolute contradictions. Penguin refuses to give copyright, and Dimension Entertainment does not have copyright, so how can we talk about it?

But Ye Jiayi gave his opinion-I don't want the copyright of "League of Legends", I only take the copyright of some specific heroes.

Neither do penguins.

Some fringe heroes may be relatively good, but very representative characters like 'Garen', 'Yasuo', 'Wuji Juggernaut', 'Ash', 'Vayne', 'Ryze', It is impossible to hand over the penguin to death.

But it is unlikely that Dimension Entertainment will accept heroes like 'Doomsday Messenger Fiddlesticks' and 'Devil Clown Sacco'.

Ever since, Dimension Entertainment made another proposal.

The two parties signed an agreement, which stipulated that within ten years, all film and television adaptations under the "League of Legends" must first cooperate with Dimension Entertainment. Whenever a movie is shot, Dimension Entertainment automatically shares the movie copyright of the main characters appearing in the movie. This copyright sharing is limited, that is, Dimension Entertainment only enjoys film and television copyright, and the profit sharing derived from film and television copyright, and other interests have nothing to do with Dimension Entertainment.

This framework is acceptable to Zhang Yanping.

He did realize that if there is no copyright sharing, unless they produce it themselves, it is impossible for any large-scale film production and distribution company to be willing to be a purely producer for them. In the past, he also thought about using the power of "Penguin Pictures" to make this movie himself.

But that risk would be too great.

First of all, most of the film and television projects that "Penguin Pictures" participated in in the past were investment and channel sharing, and they ended up personally, from preparation to production to distribution. They really don't have much experience in this area.

For such an important project as "League of Legends", they are really afraid of rushing.

What's more, this kind of project requires an investment of at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and Penguin Pictures' own company is a bit hypocritical-although Penguin is big, there are many places to spend money. It hurts.

Therefore, it is inevitable to find others to cooperate.

If a small company is worried about making it for them, it is better to do it by itself; but if it is a relatively strong company, it does not accept pure production.

Not only Zhang Yanping, but also the upper echelons of Penguin have basically accepted a point of view: copyright sharing is an inevitable result.

But how to share is the key.

They can accept the framework proposed by Dimension Entertainment, but to what extent should they share it?

The two sides have been fighting over this this morning.

After finishing the meal and preparing various materials, Zhang Yanping went to the conference room.

After a while, people from Penguin and Fist arrived one after another.

There is another chapter before twelve o'clock
