The second volume of the paid plot completed sales of 1.36 billion, not to mention the sales of various paid props and derivative props, it can be described as fruitful and amazing.
Not only that, "Transformers" has also shown amazing popularity and ability to attract gold in other fields. The peripheral products derived from Transformers and co-branded products are also on sale.
For example, the joint series of the world-renowned sports brand Knight, once sold out, even triggered a panic buying boom.
Transformers toys are even more popular all over the world, and they have become children's favorite toys, and they are in short supply for a while.
The Hornet, one of the protagonists of Transformers, has not yet been launched, and the global pre-order has already crushed all competitors of the same level, and the global popularity is also very high.
According to the relevant media, the "Transformers" IP has almost harvested pockets from children to middle-aged people. It is really the hottest and most gold-absorbing super IP of the year.
And Xingbang Pictures also cooperated with Zhengfeng again, planning to shoot the "Transformers" movie, which is expected to be released next year.
Not only that, Who and Zhengfeng Comics Studio also published a series of comics "Transformers". The comics are based on the planet of Cybertron, telling the story of Cybertron, and then more comprehensively the story of "Transformers" and The Cybertron worldview was shown to countless fans, and the animation project was officially launched.
The success of "Transformers" and its ability to attract gold really made many people greedy.
In a manor in San Francisco, Ernst Klein has just been examined by a private doctor.
"Mr. Klein, your body is recovering very well, but you still need to rest for a while!" said the private doctor.
"Thank you, Doctor Phils!" Ernst Klein said in a deep voice.
"Then you rest first!" The private doctor left the room, and soon a man with blond curly hair walked in. This man was very handsome, estimated to be only in his twenties, with a hint of arrogance on his face.
"Dad, what did the doctor say?" The young man asked casually. His name was Rui Klein, Ernst Klein's only son. Ernst had a wife before, and the two had never given birth to a child. , But the child passed away in an accident because of his wife's negligence.
His wife also blamed herself deeply for this incident, and then got depression, and finally committed suicide.
Ernst Klein has not remarried for many years. Now this wife is a very famous beauty in the entertainment industry and a very scheming woman. She used means to successfully conceive Ernst's child. And naturally married into the rich.
Rui has inherited his mother's appearance well, so he looks dignified, but because he has been with his mother since he was a child, he is somewhat contaminated with his mother's arrogant character.
"It's nothing big, why are you here?" Ernst Klein said while lying on the bed.
"What did you think about the things I told you last time?" Rui Klein said.
"Absolutely not, you don't need to persuade me. Infinite Space can have the current achievements, officially because we have given all partners the greatest benefit and respect. We have already made a lot of money. There is no need to play the value of the IP derivative part. This would violate their fundamental interests!" Ernst Klein said sharply.
"But we could make more money, do more things, and make our market value higher, and we are not infringing on their interests, but helping them to better operate their IP and develop in depth. We can Establish a professional operation team to help every supplier to package and operate IP to maximize profits. The more they make money, we can make more money, so why not!
You should be aware that many small studios and companies are not very good at in-depth development of their IP value. They did not seize the opportunity and reasonably develop the IP derivative value when the copy was the hottest, and wasted the opportunity and profit, even Encountered infringements in many countries, it is difficult for them to defend their rights, or they do not have the energy and strength!
But if we leave the IP to us for operation, we can better protect their IP and protect their interests better! "Rui Klein said straightforwardly.
In fact, he has been unable to understand why his father did not hold the copy IP rights of the copy suppliers firmly in his hands to maximize the benefits. After all, they are currently in a monopolistic position, and it would not matter if they requested more appropriately.
Especially in the past two years, after the emergence of these explosive IPs such as "Fast and Furious", "Avengers" and "Transformers", Rui Klein has shown great horror attraction and influence in other fields. Heartbeat.
"We originally had services related to IP generation operations and in-depth development. Suppliers are free to choose. What you propose is a mandatory clause. This is completely different in nature. The rules of the platform have been established for many years, and it has already become a supplier. The tacit understanding and consensus with us, if we rashly make changes, especially this kind of overlord clause, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with suppliers, which is not conducive to the development of Infinite Space!"
"What can they do if they are dissatisfied? Many of their companies will not survive if they leave our platform. They have no choice. What's more, we are also for mutual benefit. This is not a bad thing in itself! And as you said, this rule has been established a lot. Years, he needs to keep pace with the times, I think everyone can understand!" Rui Klein said a little excitedly.
"No need to say anything. In short, I don't agree. You don't want to make this idea again. Okay, I'm going to rest. You can go back!" Ernst Klein closed his eyes.
Rui Klein hesitated to speak, but he knew that his father was stubborn and difficult to be persuaded, and although he was an excellent game engineer and designer, he was definitely not a qualified businessman, at least he did not love money at all. So in many concepts, there is a big difference from myself.
When he walked out of his father's room, Rui Klein flashed a very evil thought in his mind. He hoped that his father's condition would worsen, but this evil thought was only a fleeting moment, the most basic conscience in his heart. Let him put away those bad thoughts with blame.
Although his father's relationship has been very ordinary since he was a child, and even the relationship between his mother and his father has survived in name only, in any case, Ernst Klein is his father, and he shouldn't have such thoughts.
Rui Klein thought like this...
