Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- "Surviving Mars" was shortlisted for a Hugo Award nomination, one of five nominations.
Every year, thousands of science fiction works are produced around the world, and only a few can be shortlisted for the Hugo Award. They are all the strongest in the world of science fiction literature.
Silov is very optimistic about the potential of its adaptation. If it is made into a movie and released around the world, the box office will definitely not be bad.
"I can offer you a price you can't refuse." He was very confident, smiling and holding out five fingers: "Fifty million US dollars."
"Fifty million?"
"Yes, except Black Forest Company, no other company can offer this price."
I thought the price was high, but Chen Yao felt nothing when listening to his quotation.
Decisively refused: "No, the price is too low."
Silov was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared: "From a businessman's perspective, everyone hopes to maximize profits, but this price is not low and is the most reasonable."
Chen Yao took a sip of coffee and said, "The physical book publishing income of "Surviving Mars" is more than 50 million.
With its IP value, it can also be adapted into games and animations. It is too easy to buy it for 50 million. "
Silov shook his head: "We are not interested in game adaptation, what we need most is its film and television rights."
He thought for a while and said: "On top of the 50 million, we can add another 10 million in signing fees.
This is the highest price Black Forest Company can offer. If you continue to raise the price, there is no possibility for us to continue the negotiation. "
He feels that Chen Yao just wants a bigger price and is directly capping the price. If there is no other choice, his attitude will soften and agree.
But the result
"Then our negotiations will end here." Chen Yao put down his coffee cup, turned around and left decisively.
This time, Silov was stunned: ""
I didn¡¯t expect that his attitude would be so decisive and he wouldn¡¯t even think about it.
Silov looked at his back with a sneer on his lips: "Except for Black Forest, no other company can offer this price.
"Reject us, you will regret it. "
Chen Yao walked out without looking back. Luo Kun didn't even realize that the negotiation was over. He put down his unfinished coffee, got up and hurriedly chased after him.
"Chen Yao, I feel" Luo Kun said cautiously: "Sixty million US dollars is not low, you can earn 400 million RMB."
I feel like this boss is so rich that he is numb to money. 400 million, how can he refuse this?
This is just a novel. How many people in the world can sell it for such a high price?
Chen Yao said: "The value of "Surviving Mars" cannot be underestimated."
In another parallel space, "The Martian" made a huge profit of 4.3 billion RMB from its global release, although the revenue is not equal to profit.
But Chen Yao would never agree to sell the copyright of this book easily.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if no one wants the copyright. Anyway, I¡¯m already planning to set up my own film industry group. It would be better if I leave it to myself.
The copyright trading fair ended in the morning, and the copyrights of the Hugo Award-nominated works have all found buyers, all from Hollywood film and television companies.
The only one who didn¡¯t succeed in the transaction was Chen Yao, who left with nothing.
However, Rojas's work "Building Planet" was bought by Black Forest Company for US$80 million.
It is the work with the highest transaction price at this fair.
Many media have speculated that "Building a Planet" is likely to be the biggest winner of the Hugo Award tonight.
After all, the copyright trade fair before the award ceremony is known as the barometer of the awards. The works that have won the copyright trade championship in the past will laugh and win the top prize in the end.
After lunch, Chen Yao returned to his room to rest.
Opened Twitter. This app is equivalent to the domestic Weibo. Chinese people cannot access it unless they circumvent the firewall.
Chen Yao does not need to circumvent the firewall. As long as he has a normal reason, he can contact the relevant departments to apply for activation. An internationally influential figure like him needs to use Twitter.
In addition to Twitter, Facebook is also the most popular social platform abroad. However, Chen Yao never uses Facebook.
After all, his own company also has a social platform, and he also plans to promote the Xinyu software to the world and make it a social application for people around the world.
For the time being, I will use Twitter. There are quite a few people discussing the Hugo Awards online. The awards ceremony held by the World Science Fiction Association every year always attracts a lot of topics.
?Part of it is fake news sent by foreign media, and the other sideThe following are some messages sent by the official Weibo, all with the purpose of attracting more people's attention.
The morning transaction will be posted online, and netizens are talking about it.
"I just said it, China's science fiction works are just not good. You see, there is no film and television company to buy his copyright."
"His two novels have been shortlisted for nomination. Doesn't that prove his strength? Who has two works shortlisted for this competition? Even Rojas can't do it."
"Compared to Roxas, Chen is no match. Look at Roxas, 80 million US dollars. I remember correctly this should be the highest paid film and television production in history."
"It's just that Chen doesn't want to sell it. The asking price is 60 million."
"Oh my God, if you don't sell it for 60 million, is there anything wrong with that guy's head?"
There are many people talking about it. A new topic on Twitter is comparing Rojas and Chen Yao. Who will win the Hugo Award for Best Novel?
More than 128,000 people voted, and 87% of netizens voted for Roxas' "Building a Planet."
Lin Yuhan saw this number and frowned: "Your chances of winning the prize seem to be getting lower and lower."
After all, the Hugo Awards are also determined by voting, although online voting is not equal to official voting.
Chen Yao's face was very calm, and his mentality was always stable: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it. If you get it, just treat it as the icing on the cake."
Lin Yuhan asked: "If you can't get it, don't you think it's a huge regret?"
He has won two Galaxy Awards in China and has reached the pinnacle of the Chinese science fiction industry.
The only thing missing is a world-class science fiction award, the Hugo Award.
Chen Yao said: "It will be a little bit."
In the evening, I changed into an orthodox black tuxedo suit at the hotel. It can be casual at ordinary times, but for a conference like this, it is better to be more formal.
And Lin Yuhan changed into a light yellow princess dress, which made her look more youthful and cute.
Accompanying him on the trip was Luo Kun. The uncle's outfit was a bit rustic. He was wearing a solid-color down leather jacket that looked like he had worn it for many years.
The three of them came downstairs and were greeted by a white man to get on the bus and took a special bus to the stadium.
¡°Ding dong!¡± A message was received on the phone.
Meizizi: "I'm watching the live broadcast. No matter whether I win or lose, you are the best {love you} and {blessings}."
She can¡¯t come to the scene and won¡¯t arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
