The royalties of twelve points are actually quite impressive.
In fact, if you look at the royalty figures purely, twelve points is already considered the treatment of a best-selling author, and it is definitely at the middle or even upper level. If it reaches fifteen points, it is the level of a great author.
For Sun Peng, who has never published anything, this ratio is definitely worthy of his novels, even if the novels are The Condor and Swordsman.
but……
"...The key lies in the right to adapt the novel!"
Regarding Lin Lin's doubts, Sun Peng patiently explained: "If it was just a simple book publishing contract, I would have agreed long ago, but the reason why I said it was an ordinary bestseller contract is because they asked for this contract
One signing lasts for twenty years, and it must also include film, television and game adaptation rights. This is absolutely unacceptable to me, even if they promise to give me a share of the profits from future adaptations!"
"Hiss..."
After hearing what Sun Peng said, Lin Lin suddenly took a breath of air!
God! Isn’t this condition good enough?
Pretending to be cool will get you struck by lightning!
After trembling for a long time, Lin Lin twitched the corners of her mouth and sighed: "You kid... you are going to heaven!"
Think about it, who was the last person in the Sun family whose words were printed?
If Lin Lin remembers correctly, my uncle once published a book about ancient Chinese literature. It is said that except for the 4,000 copies he underwrote for teaching, a total of less than 1,600 copies were sold. Even so,
The old man would occasionally mention it during family gatherings. It is quite a big deal that something written between the lines becomes printed...
Look at Sun Peng, is he a best-selling author? He even bargained with other publishers?
Sun Peng's tone was full of a sense of taking it for granted.
God knows why Shuxiang Publishing House is so optimistic about The Condor and Swordsman. They would rather give in greatly on the royalty ratio, extend the contract period, and win the subsequent adaptation rights. In order to convince Sun Peng, they are even willing to give extremely high prices.
I want to impress this new writer with a high dividend ratio for adaptation rights.
But who is Sun Peng? Can he be fooled?
Although I don’t know what Shuxiang Publishing House thinks, but as a time traveler, how can Sun Peng not understand the huge potential of adapting the two books? Let’s not talk about movies and games. It is just a TV series, and The Condor and Swordsman were adapted respectively.
How many times? How many people have you made famous?
Not to mention that just opening your mouth means you get twenty years of physical publishing rights. Are you kidding me?
If Sun Peng is really a newcomer, then there is really not much difference between five years and twenty years, because he does not have much bargaining power at all. But for the time traveler, the best choice is of course not to rush
, take your time!
Sign a five-year contract first, and then sign again when you become more famous!
It's just that in the eyes of others, this kind of performance is a bit ungrateful, or arrogant. For example, Lin Lin curled her lips after a brief shock and said: "Tsk, tsk, do you really think of yourself as a famous writer?
Do you know that only well-known writers have the right to choose? Especially for a big publishing house like Shuxiang, you, a guy who has not published a book yet, want to be picky..."
"Haha, what does it matter if it's not published?"
Before Lin Lin could finish her words, Sun Peng interrupted her and said with a smile: "Do you know what my new book... well, that is, the current collection of Swordsman is? How many can I get in one month after it is released?
Royalty?"
"Well……"
After hearing these words, Lin Lin suddenly fell silent.
After seeing the results of Xiaoao and She Condor, Lin Lin was inexplicably disappointed, but she also worked hard to study it carefully, so she knew that the conditions offered to her cousin by the publishing house were not bad. Similarly, she
I also figured out the approximate income of online novels, and understood that although Shooting Condor is free, Xiaoao, which is extremely popular nowadays, can definitely make a lot of money!
"Hmph! Smelly!"
After much deliberation, Lin Lin pinched Sun Peng hard!
Not happy!
This inexplicable feeling has been bothering Lin Lin for a long time. On the one hand, she is proud of her brother's success and spends time almost every day to see Xiaoao; on the other hand, someone who grew up with her,
She is almost the same age, but the guy who has always been inferior to her suddenly turned around. Not only did he surpass her, but her success also relied heavily on Sun Peng's words...
Lin Lin didn't fully accept the disappointment caused by this sharp contrast.
If it were the original Sun Peng, he would definitely have a confused look on his face, but at this moment he could vaguely guess the entanglement in his little cousin's heart, and he laughed and said: "So, if the conditions that satisfy me are not met, I would rather not give up."
Publish physical books, and you can make a lot of money from online copyrights anyway. Plus, Brother Xiang said he will give me another salary increase soon, so why should I be afraid of not having enough money? Tsk tsk..."
Without making a move, Sun Peng stabbed his little cousin's fragile little heart again.
"..."
Lin Lin felt so tired and didn't want to deal with this stinky guy anymore.
She is the same age as Sun Peng, and she calls herself cousin every day, but she has not graduated from college yet. Even if she wants to be an Internet celebrity, she has to rely on her cousin's scripts and the funds and connections of her mother and brother-in-law. But this guy in front of her just read
It’s just a junior college, but now the monthly salary is tens of thousands, and it seems that the novel will also make a lot of money...
"Forget it, I won't compete with this guy again!"
Pouting her little lips, Lin Lin finally understood. If she insisted on continuing to compete with this boy, she would die of a broken heart sooner or later!
Rolling her eyes, Lin Lin said weakly: "By the way, Brother Xiang told me that he wants to sign a new contract with you. Starting from the second season of Crazy Ms., you will invest in the script and subsequent copyrights, accounting for 10%.
Half of the shares...half of the script, 10% of the copyright!"
"Oh? How does he plan to make money?"
As soon as he heard about money, Sun Peng suddenly asked with his eyes shining.
"Uh...it seems like you want a share of advertising, right?"
Blinking her eyes, Lin Lin said with some uncertainty: "I don't know the details, but I seem to have heard him say that it's not cost-effective to sell it to the website all at once."
"I support your wise decision!"
With a slap in the face, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.
With Crazy Lady’s current popularity, how much money can you make by selling it to the website? If you really sell it directly to the website, it will be a big loss!
"The key is publicity, and the publicity of the second season is very important!"
After thinking for a while, Sun Peng said seriously: "I will mention it to Brother Xiang when I go to work tomorrow. I must invest some money to promote the second season!"
**Why are silk men so successful?
In addition to the fact that the content is interesting and meets the needs of reality, the website's publicity is definitely an extremely important factor. In this era of national entertainment, no matter how good your stuff is without publicity, it will be useless. For example, Sun Peng carefully selects jokes to put together
A successful crazy lady is definitely better than a sexy lady in terms of excitement, but her results are far from her. The fundamental reason lies in the publicity...
Of course, the popularity of Lin Lin and Dapeng is also very different!
Of course, Lin Lin was happy to see the success of promoting the Crazy Lady. She immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said: "I think it's okay. You can talk to Brother Xiang later and invest more in publicity fees and so on."
