Chapter 57 Joint Offer (Amendment)
The price of Penguin Video is not high, only 150,000 yuan per episode, and it is still a buyout for the copyright of the entire animation.
The price... is a little lower, but Kappa has no choice. If it weren't for the same lineage, and Kappa himself took the initiative to ask for help, and if the Tencent manufacturer Daye was not short of money, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to sell it.
Fortunately, this is not the exclusive copyright. Kappa said that in addition to Penguin Video, he must find a way to bring Vanzhe a family and make a joint bid together.
However, if you say that, it is still difficult to do.
Most mainstream video websites think that the style is too niche and are worried about scale issues and are willing to buy the right to play. Some people who are willing to buy the price is so low that Fan Zhe is unacceptable.
With sales from multiple parties facing failure, Kappa is under great pressure - this is obvious that he will not fulfill his promise to Fan Zhe.
"Damn it, are they all blind? Is it good if I can't understand this movie?" He complained in private, but from an objective perspective, he could understand the peers outside.
I believe many people, like him, will laugh out loud after watching the sample. But the key is, can these lines and jokes full of "connotation" be combined with this European and American style that is rare in China, really become popular in the domestic market?
Although the animation price of the episode "Special Time Task Force" is only a few hundred thousand, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the production cost of such an animation cannot be compared with "Full Time". If you buy ten episodes, it will cost 300 million to 5 million.
Three to five million is not a big deal for these mainstream video websites, so they only buy a fraction of the hit drama. But there are young and handsome actors who are popular dramas, and there are those fans who support them. What is the animation of "Task Team"?
This original book is not particularly popular and has a niche animation. If you buy it and release it, it will be cooler and you will be able to get it completely cool. What should you do if your investment is wasted?
Therefore, in terms of attitude towards this work, all websites generally adopted a more cautious attitude.
There was only one person who made a quotation seriously.
Station A.
By the way, Station A is also a very magical place. It was originally a barrage website and a pioneer in the two-dimensional circle, but now it is almost no longer on the same level as Station B. It has also experienced the failure of closing the site, on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to afford a server, and unable to pay wages.
When they see that they are about to die, they will then pretend to be zombies and test them wildly on the cold edge.
Now it has been acquired by short video speedmakers, and the funds may be more abundant.
Uh...probably.
But no matter what, this small-scale European and American cartoon animation-style work produced by "Dimension Entertainment" is still affordable.
The price they gave was also 150,000 yuan per episode.
The two sides add up to a total price of 300,000 yuan per episode, and the price for a whole season is 3 million yuan.
After receiving a reply from Kappa, Van Zhe chose to accept it.
This price is within expectations.
The entire sales process was discussed by Lewen Group. Of course, the final decision was in the hands of Fan Zhe.
According to the agreement, Penguin Video and A will jointly bid, paying 1.5 million yuan each to pay Weidu Entertainment to purchase the animation copyright of the first season of the "Special Event Task Force". From the date of the contract taking effect, the copyright of the first season of the first season will be completely owned by them. All profits of subsequent animations, whether on-demand or advertising, or even the distribution of broadcast rights, will be shared by the two companies.
At the same time, Kappa also helped to win some things. For example, the two of them promised to invest a certain amount of resources to promote this work.
This result is not very beautiful, but it has met Fan Zhe's inner expectations.
Since that was the case, he didn't worry about anything more and signed the contract.
The copyright was sold. Although Fan Zhe was not very satisfied with the overall price, he was the only one at present.
The "Special Events Task Force" has a total of ten episodes, which has recovered three million yuan in production costs.
To be honest, it's not very profitable.
Although Fan Zhe did not pay for the copyright licensing fee, it was converted into the production fee for the second season of "The Full-Time Master", and it was also a investment.
If you count the salary of so many people in the project team and other costs, the profit will be about one million yuan per sale.
This is about 30% profit margin.
It seems good, but what about the value brought by the 'dimension'?
This amount of money is only a small profit for a normal production company. If you consider the cost of copyright purchase, you will have to lose money. Even if Fan Zhe has the "dimension" in his hand, he will not make a lot of money. After all, the subsequent income has nothing to do with him.
In the current situation, he had already considered it when he had just decided to produce the work "Special Events Task Force".
By relying on dimensions, a lower price can recover the cost of the first season and make a small profit, which is enough; next, Van Zhe still hopes that the work can cause a certain degree of response.
He has considered the risks of niche styles, which will make it difficult for mainstream video websites to buy animations at a high price before seeing the results. The solution to this problem is also very simple - at least for Van Zhe who has a 'dimensionality'.
Isn’t it enough to release the work and become popular?
Anyway, the first season will only have ten episodes, and it will be completed in one month. As long as the results of the first season are acceptable, the initiative in the negotiations in the second season will be in the hands of "Dimension Entertainment".
When carrying out cooperation on this project, Fan Zhe clearly stated that the price is acceptable, but he will never accept any negotiations on other aspects.
For example, peripheral authorization; for example, about the contract renewal of the second season.
Even if it was Lewen Group, it once mentioned that whether the content of the second season could be used as agent sales for them, Fan Zhe did not let go of this hole.
Although there is still a little bit of a tail to finish the dubbing and post-production of the first season, the project team led by Sun Yilang has entered the production work of the second season.
The goal set by Fan Zhe for them is to complete the production of the second season before mid-March next year. There are about four months between this and about fifteen episodes.
In Van Che's plan, before the production of the second season is completed, he should have completed the negotiations for the second season.
By then, the price of the second season will not be 300,000 episodes in total.
He will make all the money he earns this season!
