"Someone wants to buy the TV series adaptation rights of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"???"
Pu Jie almost thought he was hallucinating while typing.
Outrageous!
Off the charts!
Pu Jie opened the system,
"Did you do this?"
System: "I don't understand what the host is talking about. Please go to bed early. Tomorrow is another day to challenge the supreme god of Internet literature~"
Pu Jie: "..."
What a secondary system.
But Pu Jie really doesn’t understand.
If there were no supernatural intervention, who would want to buy the rights to adapt his book?
He doesn't have a principal father.
Weird.
Pu Jie chatted with editor Xiaoxing again, but Xiaoxing didn’t understand much either.
He just said that a director wanted to buy his novel and adapt it into a TV series script.
"Which director?"
"Wei Fan, a new director"
Pu Jie went to the Internet to search for Wei Fan and found that he was actually a senior in the directing department of Beiyi Institute of Technology.
9 years older than him,
It has been five years since I graduated and I still have no representative work.
"Oh, a new director..."
Pu Jie suddenly felt something in his heart,
"Xiaoxing, does this adaptation right belong to our author?"
Xiaoxing was drinking milk tea in the office. When she saw it, she almost spit out her mouth.
"?"
"What the hell are you thinking? Qidian is the largest IP output website in the industry. If we didn't hold on to the copyright, we would have been in chaos!"
“When we signed the contract, it was already stated in the contract.”
"And don't think that it's a good thing for the author to hold the copyright. Without the professional control of the website, you can operate the copyright yourself... But wait to be cheated. The price you can negotiate is better than what the website will give you after all.
Even less!”
"Qidian has brought everyone together to form an alliance of online writers. It refuses to maliciously lower prices and represents the interests of Qidian authors. Don't think this is harming you."
Xiaoxing was afraid that Pu Jie would be in a bad mood and not update "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" properly, so he patiently explained to him the current operating strategy.
Qidian Chinese website remains standing because of its continuous IP library that continues to create value.
This is the foundation of the website, and there must be no problems with its operation.
Good works are one thing, but good copyright management is also very important.
Pu Jie felt helpless after hearing this.
He knew what Xiaoxing said was right. He had heard a true story in his previous life.
In the early days of online writing, when the copyright of the work was still in the hands of the author,
A certain tomb-robber master only sold the full copyright of his famous work for 100,000!
The film and television works made from his books have made hundreds of millions, but not a cent of his...
Because of this, he was ridiculed for many years and is still on the pillar of shame.
Since then, the website has added copyright operations to the signed contract.
The author only has the right to distribute profits and is not responsible for negotiations.
All proceeds go to the website and author.
As soon as this move comes out, outsiders will no longer be able to trick young authors into buying copyrights at cabbage prices.
The same is true for this world,
And because Qidian’s IP operation is very advanced, the regulations on copyright are more complete, fully ensuring the interests of the website and the author.
But there is one thing: you must obtain the author's consent to sell copyright. If the author does not agree, the website cannot force the sale.
After Pu Jie heard this, he felt a little disheartened.
If the website is responsible, it will be part of the royalties...
It is clearly stated in the system that all money paid by the website is considered royalties.
But Pu Jie still refused to give up and asked: "How much did he pay for it?"
If... the director offers more than 10 million, he will sell it.
A conversion rate of 1% is already 100,000.
The most important thing is that once he sells his work, it means that it can be adapted into a TV series.
At that time... as the original author, he will have some say in casting.
Zixia Fairy~ Hehe~ Zixia Fairy~ Hehe...
Ahem!
Pu Jie thinks 8 million is fine, just pay some compensation.
It’s not an unspoken rule, it’s mainly because I want to support the young director.
Editor Xiaoxing: "200,000"
Pu Jie: "???"
What the hell are you doing to send someone begging for food?
Pu Jie has been on the street for 5 years as the original starting point. Although he has never sold the copyright himself,
But I have still heard the deeds of the great masters in the industry.
A copyright can easily cost millions or tens of millions.
How come you only have 200,000 yuan here?
Give half to the website, and then pay the tax yourself. It is estimated that you will get more than 80,000 yuan.
Including two months of perfect attendance and the subsidy mentioned by the editor,
The royalties are estimated to reach more than 90,000 yuan.
good guy,
Get the minimum subsidy directly!
Absolutely amazing!
No, this is absolutely not possible!
"How...how did you get this number? Does Qidian accept it? Are the copyright fees for other works so low?"
Pu Jie even wondered if there was something wrong with the world.
Xiaoxing thought for a moment,
"This matter... um... is a bit complicated. The price offered to you is indeed not high, but this is the best result our colleagues in the copyright department have achieved. Originally, his bid was only 100,000."
"Let me tell you about Qidian's copyright operations. Qidian generally only operates high-quality books, that is, works with more than 3,000 orders, but this is the theoretical lower limit, and the real operation situation is...
A bunch of works with tens of thousands of subscriptions are being queued up. Only in special circumstances will works with an average subscription of less than ten thousand be considered. For example, some niche works may not have high subscriptions, but the content is solid and would be better made into a film or TV series.
And only if a film and television company takes the initiative to look for it.”
"The selling price is calculated based on the performance of the book. The higher the average subscription, the higher the price. The lower the average subscription, the lower the price. Therefore, the price of the high-quality book just now is the lowest. For a single copyright, it is only hundreds of thousands.
..."
"And your book "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"... has only been ordered at 10%, which is 300 times away from the minimum standard. Although there is some income from other aspects,... the copyright operation only depends on our main
The subscription status of the website is already a recognized standard in the industry, and it is difficult for us to raise the price.”
"To be honest, if your book can sell for 200,000 yuan in TV adaptation fees... it's already pretty good. This is why Director Wei Fan wants this book so much. If he insists a little longer, the Copyright Department
My colleague gave him 100,000 yuan. After all, except for Wei Fan, no other director will pay attention to your novel."
"You should think about it carefully. My suggestion is that you can sell it. There may not be this store after passing this village..."
Xiaoxing knows very well that although new media channels are popular, they do not support authors or their works.
No matter how popular that place is, I still haven’t subscribed to Qidian’s books.
Audiences forget about it after reading it. After a while, after the update, no one remembers the book, let alone who "Puding" is.
Pu Jie: "..."
In other words, the price of 200,000 is still an inflated price and cannot be higher.
If it were in his previous life, Pu Jie would have gone crazy with joy.
After completing the distribution and paying the taxes (this is very important), I will have more than 80,000 left.
After five years of writing books, he only made so much money...
But now,
Let this bullshit God-making system go through a toss,
Gone, all gone!
Originally, according to his plan, he could make a net profit of more than 90,000 yuan after writing it.
And if you sell the copyright of the novel, you can only earn a few thousand or even a few hundred yuan. Isn’t this a fool?
But!
Adapting a TV series means that Pu Jie has a chance...
this moment,
Pu Jie felt extremely tormented.
On one side is more than 90,000 yuan, on the other side is Fairy Zixia...
"Dog system!"
"Fuck the anti-addiction regulations!"
"No!"
"No!!"
"No!!!"
Xiaoxing: "What's wrong with you? Nothing?"
Pu Jie burst into tears,
"I won't sell this copyright! I won't sell it! It's too little!"
