Chapter 206 Operation Officer Liu’s method

Bincheng, inside a certain star hotel.

Operation Officer Liu is holding coffee and working leisurely on the sofa in the living room wearing a bathrobe.

He was holding a phone in his hand and talking loudly.

"Yes, so that game is actually not called Dead Time, it's called "Dead Space"."

"That's true, it's just a name. The name is not important. What's important is the popularity and popularity."

"Hahaha, this is true. Maybe the movie has been released, but maybe the game has not been finished yet. Director Jin, you also understand this."

…

"That's ok. I'll stay in Bincheng for about 3 days at most. Director Jin, do you think we can meet and have a chat when you are free?"

"No problem, then it's settled, Director Jin!"

…

…

The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

After the call ended, Operation Officer Liu threw the phone aside, then picked up the coffee and took a sip, showing a contented expression.

Then he crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested.

"I really didn't expect that when I came to Bincheng for a business trip, I could negotiate such a deal. Twenty-six million, a film and television adaptation right, tsk tsk."

Operation Officer Liu grinned lightly.

Through the conversation he just had with Director Jin, he asked him that since he relies on movies and TV series to promote new talents, why not just hire a screenwriter to write a bloody romance drama, but instead make a movie based on game adaptations?

Although Operation Officer Liu is not from the entertainment industry and has never watched those bloody dramas, he also knows that Xiaoxianrou relies on this kind of romance to attract young people when he makes his debut.

The difference is that some are modern romance dramas and some are just costume dramas.

Director Jin just smiled and explained to him patiently.

It is said that the current industry is not easy to work in. Newcomers from various companies rely on romantic dramas and handsome and cold characters to make their debut.

Everyone in the industry is doing this, and now whether an artist can get ahead or not depends entirely on the artist's own face.

Therefore, in order to stand out in such a situation, you have to play some tricks and come up with something unique.

So adapting a game into a movie is actually a good choice to test the waters.

If it succeeds, both gamers and fans will benefit.

If it fails, that's okay. The artist has been launched, the reputation has been established, and the rest is to slowly operate.

Of course, the plot of the game must conform to the current entertainment industry market.

That is, love is the main thing.

Moreover, an artist should not be too dirty or messy, as this will affect her image.

After the explanation, Operation Officer Liu also understood a lot.

In fact, after talking for a long time, it was just a different love drama in the name of a game.

The point is the gimmick of the game.

Think about it, other people's families have this kind of love and that kind of love.

The only one I have is a game adaptation.

Isn’t this difference just there? Isn’t it also the curiosity of the audience?

Isn’t there traffic?

Operation Officer Liu smiled and said nothing.

For him, as long as he is willing to pay, he can adapt the game however he wants.

He even hopes to buy out all the company’s hidden game copyrights that no one cares about.

Only in this way can the residual value be exerted.

In short, cooperation is going in the direction of his plan.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang

…

"What? You said we don't have any copyright at all?"

Operation Officer Liu was dumbfounded.

Listening to the report from his personal secretary on the phone, he couldn't believe it.

"You mean, we, Infinite Entertainment, have to provide them with channel resources, but also advance the early promotion costs? We only get a commission when it's done? It's so time-consuming and labor-intensive, and in the end there's no copyright?"

[Yes, Mr. Liu.]

hiss--

Operation Officer Liu took a breath, as if he had heard some fantasy.

"Is the contract written in black and white like this?"

[Yes.]

Operation Officer Liu:.

"Who made this contract? Didn't it be reviewed by the legal department!?"

Operation Officer Liu's voice was thick and he almost wanted to yell angrily. Hearing this, the secretary on the phone trembled slightly.

It was this feeling that I felt from the owner of a small company named Meng, and now it was experienced again by my own leader.

This feeling... really makes me want to cry...

[She is the director of the second product operation department, surnamed Lian, female.]

"director?"

Operation Officer Liu frowned and raised his voice again.

"Have you explained this to her? We are negotiating this business with Amagi Pictures."

The secretary nodded and responded quietly.

[I told you, but she also said that she didn’t have the copyright to the work and couldn’t arrange it. She also asked me to tell you about this, for fear that something might happen to your business]

"That's it? No result?"

[Not yet]

Operation Officer Liu took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.

"Have you contacted the company that makes the game? What did they say?"

After hearing this, the secretary hurriedly recounted the process of contacting Meng Shu in detail. During this period, he did not dare to add any exaggeration or add his own subjective opinions.

For about ten minutes, after Operation Officer Liu finished listening, he even asked loudly.

"You mean, they don't want to hand over the copyright? Do you want us, Infinite Entertainment, to continue to provide them with promotion channels and pre-publicity expenses? Is it such a good thing?"

The secretary felt a little scared, but continued to tell the boss what the conversation was about.

[Yes, they don’t seem to care about our cooperation. Even if the cooperation is terminated, they can still do it themselves. They also asked you or the chairman to call him.]

"Let Mr. Liang and I call him?"

Operation Officer Liu expressed his dissatisfaction loudly.

You, a small company that makes games, have benefited so much from our unlimited online entertainment, and you still hold the copyright of your works?

Now, you feel more confident?

You want us to call you?

Operation Officer Liu took a deep breath to calm down.

As of now, the copyright is indeed not in my hands. This is an established fact.

But I have already made an appointment with Director Jin for an interview, so it can’t end there, right?

The top priority is to find a way to get the copyright first, so that we won't break the contract and can continue to negotiate business with Tiancheng Pictures.

Twenty-six million royalties...

Operation Officer Liu made a decision in his mind.

"Go over and tell that company that we intend to purchase the copyright of their "Dead Space" and ask them to quote a price."

"Remember, our maximum bid is within three million."

"After we win their copyright, let them go. We, Infinity Entertainment, cannot continue such a risky and loss-making cooperation. Do you understand?"

[Okay, I understand Mr. Liu.]
