What "Agitation Literature" wants is the priority for film and television adaptation, not the film and television adaptation rights.
It is difficult to negotiate the film and television adaptation rights. If this book does not cost hundreds of thousands, it is unlikely that the film and television adaptation rights will be obtained, but the publisher is unwilling. Although Li Nan and Fang Xingkai are very optimistic about this book, the potential is potential and cannot be realized for the time being.
, it is impossible for the publishing house to take risks for this.
Regarding the priority of film and television adaptation, the specific profit distribution depends on what is written in the contract. If Zhang Zhong agrees to the royalty plan, they will then negotiate on the distribution of income from the adaptation rights.
Zhang Zhong didn't expect Fang Xingkai's call to come so quickly. Just as he was about to go to bed and lie down for a while, his cell phone rang.
"Editor Fang, have you discussed it so quickly?"
Fang Xingkai smiled and said, "Well, the editor-in-chief attaches great importance to it. We have given a new rough condition. The royalty is 13 points, signed for ten years, and the priority for film and television adaptation is also signed for ten years. What do you think?"
After raising three points, Zhang Zhong did not expect the other party to be so decisive.
As for whether these three points are worth the priority for film and television adaptation, in fact no one can say for sure. How much the three points will cost depends on the sales volume after the book is published. If the sales volume after publication is miserable, then these three points are not worth it.
It's no longer worth the money.
However, Zhang Zhong is quite satisfied with the new conditions. He didn't struggle with royalties before because he is a newcomer. A 10% royalty should be enough. If it were higher, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't give it.
So I wanted to keep the copyright in my own hands as much as possible to give me a higher degree of freedom.
But he underestimated the other party's determination and was actually willing to use three percentage points in exchange for priority in film and television adaptation.
Thirteen percent royalties are already among the best in the industry.
"Well, I accept this condition, but we have to discuss the priority of film and television adaptation in detail."
"Of course. If it's convenient, I'm going to Jiangyang City tomorrow. We can talk in person and finalize the details of the contract," Fang Xingkai said.
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised. He didn't expect the publishing house to be in such a hurry. But it's a good thing to hurry up. He nodded and said, "Yes, sure. You can arrange the specific time and place."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhong held his head and leaned on the bed. The weather was still hot in late summer, and the air conditioner in the room was too old to work, so Zhang Zhong didn't turn it on.
There were some camphor trees planted next to the apartments in the old [Biquge www.biqugew.co] old community. The fruits on them were ripe and turned into a purple-black paste when they fell on the ground. The smell was also pungent and unpleasant.
A gust of breeze blew in, and there were two very conflicting feelings in his nose and skin. He coveted the coolness of the breeze, but also hated the unpleasant smell carried in the wind.
If this book develops well, you can change your house after a while. Even if you can't afford a house with the royalties, you can rent a better house.
Dad can quit his canteen. If he can't bear to do it, you can find another place for him and replace the canteen with a large one.
Pengpeng's kindergarten costs 9,000 yuan per semester, which should be okay, but if she needs to change her residence, she will have to find another kindergarten.
No, Pengpeng will be in the middle class next semester. The classmates in the class have all been together for a year. It will take time to adapt to a new environment.
It’s better to find a better house nearby. There seems to be a new building next to the subway entrance. There are several small high-rise buildings in it. There is also a garden on the first floor. I saw it when I was jogging in the morning.
There is a garden next to the new building. You can take Pengpeng for a walk when you have nothing to do. From where they live now, they have to walk nearly two kilometers, which is a bit far...
Zhang Zhong's thoughts were flying far, and he had even thought about how to arrange Pengpeng's education in elementary school and middle school.
There are also his parents, who are not young anymore and it is time to retire and take care of themselves. He has been lying in bed for five years. In these five years, the old couple has no son and Pengpeng has no father. This is all owed to him.
He came down and now he has to make up for all these things when he comes back.
[System prompt: The points have accumulated to 100, and 10,000 points can get you a lucky draw opportunity, please work hard.]
When Zhang Zhong was thinking about the future, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind. The system had not appeared since the last draw, but he did not expect it to suddenly appear at this time.
But it came and went so quickly that Zhang Zhong had no time to react.
This system is very cold. There is no explanation or interaction. There is only one sentence at a time, leaving Zhang Zhong to explore everything on his own.
Last time he was thinking about what points were and how to get them. Now the system told him that the points had accumulated to 100, but he couldn't figure out where these 100 points came from.
[Tip: The cultural impact of the host on this world will generate points, excluding the impact of items obtained by the system. 】
There is actually a prompt.
Zhang Zhong chewed this sentence carefully. As long as he has an impact on the culture of this world, he can get points. The greater the impact, the more points he will get.
The latter sentence does not include the impact of items obtained by the system, which means that "Jieyou Grocery Store" cannot provide him with points.
So--
The points he has gained now should all come from "Journey to the West".
"Journey to the West" was brought by him himself and spread through the Internet, it must have had an impact on the culture of this world.
However, Zhang Zhong didn't understand the point calculation mechanism and didn't know how the hundred points were calculated.
But no matter what, if he wants to get a chance to win the lottery, he must continue to influence the culture of this world.
This is not a simple thing. "Journey to the West" happened to be photographed and uploaded to the Internet. It became a small hit and could not continue at all.
Write down "Journey to the West"? It's impossible for him to have this ability, at least not now.
Zhang Zhong reads books more carefully than ordinary people, and his memory is stronger than ordinary people, so he can even remember the eighty-one difficulties. But remembering these does not mean that he can reproduce the book.
If you talk to some people about Conan, he can tell all the cases in great detail. If you talk to him about pirates, he can even tell you every move. But if you ask him to write these stories, he will
That won’t work.
This is probably the case with Zhang Zhong now. The last time he talked about "Journey to the West" in Kendaji, he also used the simplest language. It was okay to listen to it as a story, but if it was written down in words on paper, the feeling would be completely different.
Already.
But Zhang Zhong can’t record a video telling a story.
Just think of a way.
After much deliberation, there was no good solution, so Zhang Zhong decided to resort to the desperate method. He would first write it out based on his impressions, and then revise and polish it as a whole. If it didn't work once, just do it twice, and if it didn't work, do it three times, and it would always be polished.
