For many people, Legend Pictures and Alibaba Pictures seem to be not very famous at all. The ones they are most familiar with are the six traditional Hollywood film companies and the more famous ones in China.

Legend Pictures was acquired by Wanda, while Alibaba Pictures has supported it later. Both companies have strong financial backgrounds. This top capital must seek a good story to support it when entering the film market. Small-scale battles are not their style!

In fact, Legend Pictures' status in Hollywood is also quite embarrassing. Compared with the six major Hollywoods, this company is essentially a film investment company that does private equity funds. It shares its own risks by investing together with large Hollywood studios, and is not independent enough.

On the other hand, as Hollywood has reduced its mid-box office volume in recent years, the Matthew effect has accelerated, and companies like Legend Pictures generally find it difficult to get investment in high-concept top blockbusters, and the risk of investing in filming by themselves is very high. The previous large-scale game IP-adapted movie "Warcraft" was slightly disappointed all over the world!

This time, Legend Pictures made a desperate bet and bought the movie adaptation rights for "The Wandering Earth" for $11 million, just to make a difference in the global box office market like "Martian Rescue" and even "Jurassic Park".

After all, film investment companies are easy to go bankrupt. It is obviously not easy for Legend Pictures to transform from a fund provider to a content manufacturer!

In fact, even Galaxy Pictures founded by Lin Han is relatively risky, and the recovery cycle and accounting calculation of the film business are characterized by a long cycle, which will cause the company to generate huge capital demand.

Now that Galaxy Pictures wants to invest in the movie "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy", Lin Han needs to sell his novel copyright. In the future, it can only be compensated through rounds of bank loans. This way, the capital chain is very fragile. If one or two movies fail, it may collapse!

However, compared with "Jurassic Park", "The Wandering Earth" is much inferior in fame, which is why the big Warner Bros. companies did not continue after the price rose to $11 million.

If Lin Han is willing to take "Inception" out for auction, the price may be more than 20 to 30 million US dollars. After all, the degree of spread of novels will greatly affect the price!

But "The Wandering Earth" is better because of its clever imagination and is suitable for adaptation. This price is basically the limit that major film companies can take out. The estimated price is around 10 million. Legend Pictures has an additional $1 million, so they will naturally accept it.

"Fortunately, Hollywood companies have obtained the copyright. Their special effects are more conscientious. Domestic filmmakers are enough to shoot romance films. Special effects and other things are really not good. I won't talk about the rationality of the novel for now, but when I think about it, the picture is very ignited. The earth is full of engine nozzles as tall as a mountain. Which domestic film company can shoot such a scene?"

This comment expresses the voice of netizens. Although people who have been tortured by the special effects of domestic movies for a long time are unwilling to admire foreigners, the fact is indeed so there is no need to argue.

"There are also shots that describe the movement of the earth and the backflow of sea water. If this can be taken, it will definitely become a classic picture! Just imagination when reading novels makes my heart surging!"

"Don't you think that the old man in the human world has been hiding for decades when he came to the ground to see the sun being overly excited and was burned. The plot is amazing and shocking?"

"I just watched "The Wandering Earth". If the last song could be sung, the desolation would probably make the audience cry. This should be one of the greatest space operas!"

Netizens began to recall the impressive scenes in the novel one by one. They communicated with each other and looked forward to the birth of the movie together!

Although this novel is not long, there are countless places that leave people with emotion. Any scene is enough to shock people. So after seeing the copyright sold to a reliable film company, everyone is looking forward to the final finished film, although it takes one or two years to wait.

...

In fact, Lin Han also quite understands the ideas of this group of people. He used to be one of these people. He was very excited to hear that Liu's movies were going to be made into science fiction movies, but in the end he was heartbroken by the cold reality.

In this life, he handed over his favorite short story to Legend Pictures, hoping that it can shine its own light and bring this story to audiences all over the world!

While Lin Han was reading comments on Weibo, the page suddenly turned into a caller ID. Miao Hong actually called him. The two of them separated from the copyright auction not long ago.

"Old Miao, what's wrong with you?" Lin Han asked with concern.

Miao Hong replied in a low voice: "Everything is fine here. We have reached a temporary agreement with representatives of Alibaba Pictures and Legend Pictures. They will come to the company tomorrow to discuss the specific contract content. I called me and the people from the National Writers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles were asking you, probably because I wanted to get you to join the association. I don't know what you think?"

This made Lin Han ask. He has never joined any organization. Except for the Association of Popular Science Writers, this is what he was introduced to the past.

Of course, this science writers association and the National Writers Association are not the same thing, although there are overlaps in the identities of some personnel!

But Lin Han has never had any good feelings for the Writers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. One is because these two groups have too much negative news online. The other is because people from the Writers Association often can't get along with Lin Han, and criticize them like flies all day long to criticize them. It seems that Lin Han, the big boss, is where they gain reputation.

After a while, it would be strange if Lin Han wanted to join. He was not idle. He would be led by others to pay the membership fee to listen to others mock him. This is crazy!

"I think I'm pretty good now. I haven't joined the Writers Association yet. Otherwise, you can give me a little tactful tone."

Miao Hong had a bitter face. He thought for a while and persuaded: "Boss, you have a lot of dealing with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Writers Association. Think about it, most domestic journals and magazines are under the Writers Association, and you have to be selected by the Writers Association for awards. The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is even wider. Whether it is a screenwriter or a director, they are all literary and artistic workers. You can join them and not participate in the activities!"

Lin Han knocked his head, and he joked: "After entering, I just had a good relationship with them. Do you think their remarks have a great impact on me?"

This is not something Lin Han is angry about. The Writers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles have basically changed their minds. They can get in with money. The good literary and artistic groups have become places where dirt is hidden.

Recently, the literary world has not been at all stable. Xiong Aichun, chairman of the Fenyang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, posted a poem online and was criticized for being angrily hit on the website. The vice chairman of the Shaanxi Writers Association was accused of plagiarism again. The 192 characters in a 205-word poem are similar to other people's works, which can be said to be a loss of face.

Even yesterday, another chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles had an accident. Gu Chongrang, chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, was investigated by the police. These cultural people always do uneducated things, which led to the entire literary world becoming chaotic!

There are many strange things in the literary world. A few months ago, Gao Hongbo, vice chairman of the China Writers Association, was reported under his real name. A writer contributed a national first-class cultural relic to him in order to win the Mao Dun Literature Award.

It is said that cultural people do not act, but there have been more than once fights between writers and writers. The chairman of the first-level photography association followed and beat the local Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The media is no longer surprised!

Even in the first sentence of the inscription handwritten by Ms. Zhao Ning, chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, wrote a little more of the words "Fenghua" in her prime, but the editor-in-chief of the magazine actually came out to endorse her and was unwilling to admit her mistakes!

From the inscription of the Chairman of the Writers Association to the editor's review, no one found this typo. After such a strange thing was exposed, he actually threw the pot on netizens. This really lost all the face of the Chinese literary world!

The Writers Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which were so bad that they wanted to pull Lin Han in. This was not the first time they tried it. Seeing Lin Han earned more than 100 million yuan at a time, these two organizations certainly wanted to chew some meat from him.

But Lin Han is not willing to go to the muddy waters. He has achieved success and is not even too late to hide, so he will run in bored!

As the name suggests, the Writers Association is a writer's association. The so-called writers are good at literary creation. In the past, those who could join the Writers Association were those who created literary works of a certain quantity and quality.

But now you have clearly marked the price and you can join the Writers Association as much as you give, transform yourself into a writer, and then ruin the reputation of this group.

In the current Writers Association, except for real writers, editors, professors, and leaders can join, and even businessmen who have nothing to do with literature can join!

As for the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the full name of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles. It is one of the initiators of the CPPCC. It includes a wide range of literature, drama, movies, television, music, dance, art, photography, calligraphy, folk art, acrobatics, folk art, mass art, art education, etc., all belong to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

The China Federation of Literary and Art Circles implements a group membership system, with 52 existing group members, such as the Chinese Writers Association, Dramatists Association, Filmmakers Association, Directors Association, etc. Only the Writers Association is an equal member of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and all are ministerial-level!

Therefore, Miao Hong’s suggestions make sense. Lin Han does fall into these categories, but it does not mean that he must join it.

After Lin Han hung up the phone, he didn't take this seriously at all. At present, filming is more important.
