The West Gate of Yan University is also known as the alumni gate. It was built by Yan University alumni in 1926. It has a history of nearly a hundred years. Two mighty stone lions stand in front of the door. The vermilion gate and the four words "Yanjing University" on the door make people yearn for it.

This is the foundation of China's number one university, and Zhang Chu fell in love with this place at a glance.

The Yan University campus was already crowded in the early morning, and senior students had arrived early.

In early September, the green trees on the campus are still there, and only a few temperate trees shake off the leaves in the autumn wind. The sound of reading is heard.

Zhang Chu wandered in it, and occasionally saw those looming pavilions among the lush trees.

Following the map guidance, Zhang Chu walked towards Weiming Lake, with green trees, asphalt paths, three or two students walking together, and foreigners swaying by bicycle. This picture looks quiet and comfortable.

On the lakeside, the old gentlemen and old employees have started morning exercises. Although they are staggering and gray-haired, they are in good spirits and are used to exercising under the willow trees by the lake every day.

In the pavilion by the lake, there were already people holding various books to start learning, and the learning atmosphere was quite strong.

Yan University campus is very large, and Zhang Chu walks in it, combining the map on his mobile phone with reality, and spending it here in the next four years. There is no harm in getting familiar with it in advance.

When the autumn wind blows, those who have boyfriends will hold their boyfriends tightly, and those who have girlfriends will hold their girlfriends' hands.

But Zhang Chu is awesome, he is not afraid of the cold!

Just when he was infinitely hurt by those couples, Zhou Kang called over.

"Uncle Zhou, is there anything you need to ask me for?"

Zhou Kang, who is at Menglong Culture Media Company, said with some joy: "We have now got the preliminary quotes of these companies, and the conditions are different. Are you not busy now? If you are not busy, come to the company to discuss with us what the specific results will be?"

However, Zhang Chu was tortured by Yanjing's traffic enough, and he flatly refused, "It's the same with you on the phone. I'll have to go to the library to take a look later. Maybe there's no time."

Zhou Kang didn't care. After all, the employer of the world was the biggest. Anyway, the contract had not been reached yet. Now it was just a preliminary intention. He and others were on the negotiating table.

"Huace Film and Television's first offer. This time they gave two copyrights to sell them in packages, a total of 8 million yuan, and it is claimed to be tens of millions. In addition, when promoting TV series and movies, the original work will be promoted, and you will sign the title at the opening of the TV series."

8 million yuan is still very attractive to Zhang Chu, who currently has a deposit of only 620,000 yuan. Moreover, Huace Film and Television is also the first listed company in China that mainly focuses on TV series, and the quantity and quality of film and television series are very good.

However, Zhang Chu still plans to listen to the quotes from other companies before talking about them, what if there is a higher price.

"In addition to Huace, there is also Director Xu Ji's studio. They are willing to provide a share of 2 million + 2% to win the film copyright of "Psychological Crime". At the same time, Director Xu Ji is willing to add you to the list of screenwriters. Ci Wen also wants two copyrights, but they are quite generous in offering a price of 4 million + 5 million."

Zhou Kang was already full of joy. He chose to be Zhang Chu as a literary agent, and the benefits brought by a writer were more than that of other people.

The authors he brought in the past were very difficult to sell the copyright of film and television. Even if it was launched, it was a bargain price to ask grandpa to pay homage to grandma. Now, those big companies are actively seeking to buy it, so their backs can be straight.

"Yida Pictures has the most money. They want the copyright of "Psychological Crime" and have called out a price of 12 million. However, Yida Group's performance is not good now, and I don't know if it will affect the film industry."

Zhang Chu carefully calculated in his heart what kind of success he wanted to achieve in this psychological crime.

Do you want to be a high box office?

The box office of suspense, reasoning and thriller works is not particularly high, and the audience is mainly male. These people rely more on the quality of word-of-mouth. If the reputation is not good, it is impossible to have a high box office.

If this "Psychological Crime" is made into a bad movie, Zhang Chu is really a little sorry for the original novel.

"How much do you think this movie can get? If we work with Director Xu Ji, will the 5% box office share exceed 5 million?"

"Director Xu Ji's works over the years have a basic foundation. If he chooses actors with both popularity and strength, then the box office of 200 million yuan will definitely be there, and the 2% box office share is about 4 million yuan. This share ratio plus the copyright fee of 2 million yuan is about 6 million yuan. But if its box office reaches 500 million yuan, then you can earn 12 million yuan by the film copyright alone."

Zhou Kang sighed. Xu Ji has produced movies in his studio in recent years. It would be great if he cooperated with Huace or Ciwen and Yida. With the guarantee of a large company and Xu Ji's quality, why worry about the low box office!

Zhang Chu thought about it carefully in his head and asked, "If you go to the director Xu Ji studio now, can you grind the share ratio higher? 2% seems a bit too low."

"You are full and don't know that you are hungry. How many actors want to get the box office scores? What's more, you are an ordinary new author. It seems that director Xu Ji really likes "Psychological Crime". Let's talk about your 2%."

"I just want to separate the copyright of the movie and the copyright of the TV series into two items to sell, so that the profit can be maximized. After all, Huace, Ciwen and Shanying are mainly TV series, and it is just right for them to buy the copyright of the movie."

Zhou Kang nodded in agreement, "I will contact them and give full play to their strengths. In addition, the CBS also quoted $1 million. If you write the second part of Shenxia, ​​they are willing to raise the price under the premise of excellent quality."

"What about bbc?"

One million US dollars is about six or seven million yuan, which is quite gratifying. You should know that "Detective Sherlock" has not yet met the audience.

Perhaps this is the key to the TV station's consideration. Most viewers do not know this story. It is very fresh and will not be guessed as the ending.

"The bbc gives 800,000 pounds, and they need you to translate it into English, and they are worried that the rest of the people who translate it will affect the script and characters."

800,000 pounds is actually similar to 100 US dollars, and there is no news about hbo and fox.

Zhang Chu knew that he could not be too greedy. The number of $1 million is considered medium among European and American writers. "Then continue to contact them and discuss it. I hope the price and conditions can be better. If you reassure them, just say that I have started translating Shenxia now."

Originally, "Sherlock Detective" was a British drama, and Zhang Chu only had to restore it, which was simpler than a novel.

"By the way, if I take out Shenxia's English script, will we have more chips?"

Zhou Kang didn't know whether to doubt or believe it, "Or why don't you try it and write a scene first."
