Chapter 23 On the Importance of IP

"Proxy copyright?"

Chen Lin, who was recording the game information, turned around and answered the phone in surprise.

As soon as he put it to his ear, a polite voice came from the opposite side.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen? I'm Su Peng, the person in charge of marketing at station b, and I want to talk to you about the copyright of "Prison Break Rabbit"."

"Yes, I am, and you guys move pretty fast."

Chen Lin frowned, a little surprised.

Has the video site already rolled so hard now?

"Mr. Chen was joking. In our line of work, what we pay attention to is the sense of the market. I wonder if your studio has any plans to represent copyright?"

"Yes, but it depends on whether the price is suitable."

In Chen Lin's system, only the revenue generated by the game will get the wealth value, and other extra income will not be counted into it.

But there is no way, he is poor.

Originally, the previous two games earned more than 300 million.

But since the establishment of the studio and the expansion of equipment, there is not much left.

In addition, there are still so many employees waiting to be fed, and new game development and personnel recruitment are all very expensive places.

The revenue of the two games alone is not enough.

Gotta figure out a way to make some extra money.

"Price." Su Peng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said, "How about 60 yuan? Buy the agency copyright for the first and second seasons of "Prison Break Rabbit" for two years."

"Less." Chen Lin replied without thinking, "With the current popularity of "Prison Break Rabbit", the price of 30 per season is too low, at least 50, unless you give up the exclusive copyright."

The agency copyright of animation is the same as that of games, which are divided into exclusive and non-exclusive, and generally only sold for two years.

Whether to renew the contract depends on the follow-up situation.

As long as you are not stupid, you know that exclusive copyright is definitely much better than non-exclusive copyright, and the benefits that can be generated are naturally different.

Su Peng didn't speak, and seemed to be having a psychological struggle.

Because he can't guarantee that no matter how high the price is, he can get back the cost. After all, "Prison Break Rabbit" is just a small-scale animation.

Once it dies suddenly on the shelves, and the performance fails to meet expectations, resulting in losses, the senior management will definitely be scolded.

"I can also give you the premiere of the third season."

At this time, Chen Lin's voice sounded, adding another handful of firewood to it.

"Good! Deal!"

Su Peng gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

Although the exclusive copyright of 50 per season is much more expensive than expected, it will be different if the premiere of the third season is included, and it will definitely attract a lot of enthusiasm.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Lin hung up the phone.

He has made a lot of money for nothing, and he is in a good mood, at least the short-term financial problem has been solved.

Anyway, it only needs 18 wealth points to make a CG animation of the jailbreak rabbit for one season, which is not a loss.

After thinking about it, he called out the interface and took a look.

[Game Wealth Value: 147 million/1000 million]

There are more than 100 million wealth points left.

The goal of 1000 million is still far away.

Considering that it takes a part to make games, you need several games or a big blockbuster to save up at once.

After thinking for a long time, he looked at Du Xing who had just come back from the outside.

"Duchen, how is the investigation of other manufacturers going?"

"The investigation has been completed, Mr. Chen." Du Xing quickly took out a document from his pocket, and quietly moved over.

"This is the result of my investigation and statistics at the venue in the past two days, and some of them are inquired from colleagues and friends of other manufacturers."

Chen Lin took the information and looked at it, good guy, he has recorded the game materials exhibited by major manufacturers and studios densely, and even recorded the upcoming game project plans of some major manufacturers.

This made him give Du Xing a high look.

I didn't expect this guy to have this talent.

"Well done, more detailed than I imagined, are you interested in being transferred to the marketing department?"

"Ah? Isn't that good?" Du Xing scratched his head, "I still prefer to sit in front of the computer and write codes. This time I was lucky enough to meet a few friends to investigate so much."

Prefer to write code?

What a strange hobby
These employees under him are indeed not ordinary people.

However, Chen Lin still respected his personal choice, and said, "Okay, if you want to change departments in the future, you can tell Lao Song."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Duchenne grinned, not annoyed at losing a promotion opportunity.

Perhaps it was his free and easy personality that allowed him to make so many friends in the circle, and he even made friends with other manufacturers.

This reminded Chen Lin of when he was a code farmer.

That's really called a person who doesn't hear things outside the window, and only has 1 and 0 in his eyes.
Shaking his head, he looked at the information in his hand again and studied it carefully.

Soon, he discovered the clue.

Including Huanhai, nearly [-]% of these major manufacturers are developing survival and adventure-themed games.

Even half of the remaining [-]% are considering expanding their business in this direction.

The reason is very simple, because a large number of well-known movies such as outdoor adventures and battlefield survival have appeared in China recently, which pushed the popularity of this subject to its peak and was sought after by countless netizens.

Such a large and attractive cake, the major game manufacturers will naturally not let it go, immediately change their plans, and join in the development of this type of game.

Chen Lin is very clear.

Market demand is the main factor that determines the game industry.

A game that is popular in this world may not be equally popular in another world, and there are many uncertain factors in it.

And the development trajectory of the game industry in this world is obviously different from what he had imagined.

If he only concentrates on making games he thinks are good without getting familiar with the market demand, there is a high possibility of failure.

"I think, I probably know what to do in the next game."

After reading the information, a confident smile gradually appeared on the corner of Chen Lin's mouth.

"The next game? Mr. Chen, do you have a plan for a new game?"

The four employees who were greeting the players turned their heads one after another, both excited and looking forward to it.

Their idea is simple.

As long as there are games to do, they will have more wages.

There is no need to start work when there is an outsourcing order like the previous Liming Studio, and panic when there is no order.

"Well, survival adventure games, if nothing else happens, this game will be our first IP in the wild!"

Chen Lin stood up from his seat, full of arrogance, and anyone could feel a strong determination from him.

With a new idea, he didn't need to stay here any longer. He turned his head and said, "I'll go back to the studio to prepare, and I'll leave this to you. Is it okay?"

"No problem, just leave it to us!" The four answered in unison.

Because of the appearance of the second season of Jailbreak Rabbit, more and more players have been attracted, and the scale is even more terrifying than yesterday.

At this speed, it is only a matter of time before Huanhai is surpassed.

As long as the player traffic is sufficient, they are still very confident in the games they have worked hard to make.
