Li Qing cleared his throat and said, "I choose to retain the film and television rights."
Cai Afen reacted and smiled a little reluctantly: "Are you kidding?"
"Of course not." Li Qing smiled and then said seriously: "I am very serious."
Looking at Li Qing's clean and bright smiling face, Cai Afen suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. She squeaked and was speechless for a long time.
Li Qing suddenly felt that these young people were a little cute. Compared with later generations who would always ask for full copyright and would not stop until they squeezed out all the personal interests of the author, these young people were as pure as animals just waiting to be slaughtered.
Aries.
"Why?" At this time, lawyer consultant Wen Quan couldn't help but said: "Why don't you want to sell the film and television copyright? Perhaps the cost of the film and television copyright is higher than the profit from the publication of your work!"
"No reason, I just feel that you may not be able to accept the price I offered..." Li Qing smiled.
Cai Afen's eyes lit up. As long as it was about money, in her opinion, it was not a problem!
You know, Director Wang approved a high price of five million for him. Leaving aside the two million traditional Chinese publishing copyright fee, he could give him a high price of three million for the film and television copyright alone!
Three million, at this price, Cai Afen is confident that she can stun all the first-line writers in the country!
However, just when she was about to confidently and coolly express to Li Qing that money was no problem, Li Qing's words made Cai Afen feel cold.
"The minimum film and television copyright is 10 million. If I don't film within two years, I have the right to take it back."
Li Qingping said calmly: "Can you accept this price and conditions?"
The scene became a little quiet.
Cai Afen's face turned a little red, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Ten million?
He turned out to be ten million!
Oh my god!
The lion's mouth is not so exaggerated, right?
Wen Quan and others were speechless. Their eyes when looking at Li Qing changed a bit, with disgust on their faces.
This man looks quite handsome, but why does his brain seem to be a little abnormal?
One【＄【＄【＄【＄,m.※.co￠m ten million? Which domestic writer's film and television copyright is worth this price?
This is a sky-high price!
Basically unattainable price!
Li Qing looked at these people's interesting reactions with a smile on his face.
The price of 10 million may be very common in later generations, such as Guo Jingming's "Times" and Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum". But in this era, there is absolutely no writer whose works are worth so much!
Therefore, this situation is one that cannot be discussed further.
Suppressing the surging anger, Cai Afen took a deep breath and said with a stiff smile: "Wait a moment, this price is too much higher than we expected. Let me ask our leader for instructions."
Li Qingtou.
After looking at each other with Wen Quan and others, they stood up together and came to a remote corner of the cafe.
"Afen, is this Qinglian Sword Immortal mentally ill? Is he after money? Ten million! Oh my God... I'm going crazy!"
"We can't decide this matter. You should report it to Director Wang quickly. It happened suddenly. I think the film and television copyrights are very likely to be corrupted. This Li Qing doesn't seem to be an easy boss to give in. He will definitely lose it."
Not willing."
"I don't think we should have given him such a high buyout price in the first place. Look, look. I knew things were going to be bad! This guy must be treating us as stupid people with too much money.
Got it!"
Even though the other three suppressed their voices and roared angrily, Cai Afen could only listen quietly.
Even if someone criticized her initial attitude, Cai Afen did not refute it, because the guidance on this matter mainly rested with her. Since she had taken responsibility from the beginning, she would not shirk the responsibility.
After everyone had vented their violent emotions, Cai Afen silently took out her cell phone and called Director Wang.
As soon as they saw Cai Afen's actions, the other three people immediately restrained their voices.
They could only vent their emotions in front of Cai Afen, and it was absolutely impossible to bring their emotions to the higher-ups.
After all, the mission of this business trip is mainly based on Cai Afen's opinion. Even if she is jealous, internal fighting will never be welcomed by the top management no matter which company she is in.
"Is it done?"
As soon as the call was connected, I heard Director Wang’s questioning voice.
Cai Afen suddenly felt a sore nose. Director Wang had given her so much trust and authority, but in the end, she had messed up the most important thing!
When she thought of this, Cai Afen felt extremely aggrieved. She began to tell what happened, as well as the price and conditions offered by Li Qing. In the end, she was a newcomer who had only entered the workplace for two years and had not gone through such a big battle.
He couldn't control his emotions, and his voice was choked, "I'm sorry, Director Wang..."
"You don't have to do this."
Director Wang was silent for a moment, then smiled: "This Qinglian Sword Immortal looks very ambitious! Okay, just buy the traditional Chinese copyright. As for the share, the price of 10% is too high, so I started this.
The prices of other writers are well known. You tell him, 8%, we can pay a million royalties in advance! If you choose 10%, that's okay, but the advance royalties will be gone. You can explain this to him clearly.
He should understand. Well, one more thing is to try to get him to promise to be the first to consider China Film when selling the film and television rights of "Looking for Qin". Of course, this does not include the exaggerated price of 10 million!"
Cai Afen hummed several times in a row. When Director Wang finished his instructions, she burst into tears and smiled: "Okay, Director Wang, I promise to complete the task."
After hanging up the phone, Cai Afen swept away the decline in duty and waved her hand energetically, "Let's go, sign the contract!"
Wen Quan and others were a little surprised. They didn't understand what the big boss told Ah Fen, which caused Ah Fen's mental state to change so quickly. However, despite their doubts, they still hurriedly followed.
Li Qing was a little surprised after hearing the conditions relayed by Cai Afen.
In fact, he is still prepared to make some concessions, such as 9% or something. After all, these days there are not many companies like Cultural Publishing House that know both the general concept and the product...
But since the other party let him choose, he naturally chose 10%.
A million royalties advance?
Although Li Qing is very greedy, he is not a quick success person at heart...
Of course, the premise of this sentence is that he can predict future events. For example, "Xun Qin Ji" is destined to become famous...
So, if he wrote the book himself...
Then he will definitely choose a two million buyout!
As for whether to agree to the priority of film and television rights, it was not written into the contract anyway, so Li Qing naturally agreed happily.
Although he kept the copyright of "Looking for Qin" in his hands with the intention of selling it at a price, he even wanted to wait for the studio to gradually grow and develop and recruit the crew to work alone.
But if you do this, the gains will be too slow!
I can't afford it myself. After all, it will definitely not be realized within three to five years. After all, it is still unrealistic.
Therefore, his most important purpose is to wait until "Looking for Qin" becomes really popular before selling off the film and television rights.
By then, the film and television rights of "Xun Qin Ji", which has sold over a million or even millions of copies, will not be available for just 10 million.
It has to be at least doubled, right?
If it were other unknown works, that would be fine. But for the work "Looking for Qin", Li Qing definitely has this confidence.
After carefully checking the contract and confirming that it was correct, the two parties began to fill in the agreed contract contents and signed their names. This copyright authorization contract officially came into effect.
After chatting for a while, they finalized the delivery date. Cai Afen and others, who couldn't wait to go back and submit the work, chose to take the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
After the people from the publishing house left, Li Qing stayed in the cafe for a while, then called the waiter, stood up, paid everyone's bills distressedly, and walked out of the cafe.
The afternoon was just right, the winter sun was shining brightly, looking at the dry and lively streets, Li Qing stretched out with a smile on his face.
Everything is developing in the best direction...
The plan in my heart is also being realized step by step.
The road is promising!
The video store on the street is playing a folk song - "Those Flowers" in sequence!
Bao Yunyun's soft and sensual voice came, and Li Qing was in a good mood, and he unconsciously began to hum along with the singing.
I don’t know how Sister Yunyun’s new album is selling...
Also, when will my % sales share be settled to me?
Chinese New Year is coming soon and I am very short of money! (To be continued.)
