"The Legend of Conquering the Demon has been written for three years and has been completed. Now it is best to make it into a movie." Enci said.
"It's like this, even if the film and television sells for four million, it will only be two million if it is distributed to you. After tax is deducted, it will only be about one million." Doudou said.
Hua Xiangyu nodded and said: "That's right, we will sell it in a package and ask for 100 million. You can divide it into 50 million. According to the current tax rate, you can still get more than 40 million."
"Compared with more than one million and more than 40 million, which one do you think is more attractive?"
The two of them persuaded each other.
"More than 40 million is tempting, but have you ever thought about what if no one buys it?" Enci added, "It's just something on the shelf, worthless."
"You have to believe in your own strength." Hua Xiangyu was a little embarrassed, but he still said so.
Enci smiled and said: "I believed in my own strength, but now I don't believe in you."
The atmosphere in the reception room became awkward.
This guy's emotional intelligence is really low, so he directly challenged the website.
Doudou said: "Enci, you have been writing for more than ten years. You are an old author and have witnessed the development of the website. When did we deceive you?"
"I believed it before, but after the website started financing and seeking to go public, I no longer believe you." Enci shook his head and said.
Ning Feiyang didn't want to see the quarrel, so he said, "Manager Hua, do you think the film and television we produced will be a big hit?"
"It goes without saying that the novel "The Legend of Conquering the Demons" is very influential."
"You can go to the street and ask, at least three out of ten people have read this novel."
"Especially teenagers, they are the main consumers of movies. Whether they are developed into games or made into movies, they will make a lot of money." Hua Xiangyu said with certainty.
Doudou also helped: "This novel has extraordinary influence. You plan to invest 400 million US dollars in making a movie. We are asking for 100 million yuan. This price is really not high."
"Since you are so confident in this novel, you should split the copyright and sell it."
"Think about it, we have obtained the film and television rights, and it has been made into a movie and it has become popular. The value of the IP of "The Legend of Demons" will naturally increase."
"At that time, wouldn't you make more money by selling other copyrights?" Ning Feiyang asked.
Hua Xiangyu and Doudou looked at each other and opened their mouths, not knowing how to refute.
Enci cast a grateful look at Ning Feiyang, thinking that he was so good at being a boss that he could make the other party speechless with just a few words.
Wang Qi also secretly marveled and said with a smile: "If you don't sell them separately, it proves that you have no confidence."
"In short, these are the rules of our website. No matter how much you say, it's useless." Hua Xiangyu clapped his hands and said.
"Engi, your existence today is inseparable from the website. You have to think about it carefully." Doudou also spoke.
Wang Qi said coldly: "Don't play the emotional card, don't think we don't understand capital operations."
"If the website couldn't make money from Enshi, would it recommend him and praise him?"
"In the final analysis, other people's novels are better. Did you do this with Enci's consent?"
Full of gunpowder smell.
"I've also heard that no less than twenty companies came to negotiate the copyright for this novel, but they were all scared away by your asking price."
"If this continues, when the novel's popularity subsides, it's still unclear whether it can be sold, let alone 100 million." Enci said angrily.
Internet novels are different from others in that they pay attention to timeliness. Generally speaking, the popularity is the highest during the serialization period.
It is the best time to publish simultaneously, adapt it into a game, and film a movie or TV series.
The Legend of Conquering Demons has ended, and its popularity is declining, which is why Enci is anxious.
"Enci, we can understand your mood. Our website is operating, so you can rest assured." Hua Xiangyu said again.
"Your terms are too overbearing. The author creates the work and the copyright is handed over to your agent, but they also have the right to know."
"It's true that you want to sell it at a high price, but you must also consider the author's feelings. I think we can give them some rights appropriately. Otherwise, we can sue you." The lawyer took up the legal weapon.
Now that the words have been said, there is no need to pay any attention to human feelings.
"Let me tell you, don't think that we don't understand the law. We hired a lot of lawyers to draw up contracts."
"They are all professionals. If you want to sue us, you can." Hua Xiangyu said arrogantly.
The faces of Ding Wanqing and others became even more embarrassed. It was like this last time. This time they said so harshly, but the other party still remained unmoved.
Several people's eyes fell on Ning Feiyang.
"Call your boss and I'll talk to him," Ning Feiyang said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter who you call, this is the rule of our website." Hua Xiangyu waved his hand and said, "Our boss is not here, I have the final say on copyright."
"If you are willing to buy it, that's the price. If you don't want to buy it, I won't give it away. I still have things to deal with."
Doudou cleared her throat and said: "Enci, based on readers' feedback, the update of your work is pretty good. Keep up the hard work."
The meaning is very obvious, so don’t just follow along and mix things up, go back and code.
Several people had no choice but to walk out of the office.
"You bastard, it's so unreasonable to formulate such a domineering clause." After Wang Qi went out, he started scolding.
"If there is no other way, we can only change the theme." Ding Wanqing said.
Enci looked apologetic and said, "I'm so sorry that your trip was in vain."
"This has nothing to do with you." Ning Feiyang waved his hand.
"Brother, when did we admit that we were cowardly and just give up?" Wang Qi clenched his fists, "How about I go up and teach that kid a lesson?"
"If lessons can solve the problem, is it your turn to take action?" Ning Feiyang stopped him.
Needless to say, if you fight over this matter, you will definitely be punished by the system.
What should we do?
Ning Feiyang and the others began to think in the stairwell.
A flash of inspiration occurred and I had an idea.
"If you have a computer, let me use it." Ning Feiyang said.
Ding Wanqing handed over the notebook.
After Ning Feiyang opened it, he turned on the hotspot on his phone, connected to the Internet, and started tapping.
A series of codes appear.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Wang Qi asked.
The rest of the people were also confused.
Enci frowned and said, "Boss Ning, are you...programming?"
"Fuck, brother, you are very powerful, but why are you showing off this skill?" Wang Qi was puzzled. (To be continued)
