Chapter 97: Lao Du's Immediate Plans
Your after-tax remuneration income in March totaled 1,716,694.58 yuan.
Du Caige counted and counted, and finally determined that he could pay the 1.5 million on April 15 in time.
The mood suddenly became beautiful.
The reason why the actual income is much higher than his original estimate is that he updates quickly, with 20,000 words updated every day, with quality and quantity, resulting in a very high follow-up and an increase in the average subscription.
In March alone, he updated nearly 700,000 words.
So after deducting 20% of the income tax, he can still get 1.7 million yuan. (This is not 1.7 million soft sister coins, compared to the soft sister coins of the same period, the purchasing power of the Great Chinese Dollar is much stronger, close to the dollar.) )
However, the number of words in "Zhu Xian" itself is not much, and if it continues to be updated at this rate, it will be completed by the beginning of May.
Therefore, Du Caige has already ventilated with the editor and plans to start publishing a new book on April 15.
Speaking of favor, he has a bit of a brain ache.
He noticed that at some point she had been speaking a little strangely, as if she was ...... Flirting with yourself?
This is not a good sign.
In fact, the relationship in the workplace is still simpler and more transparent.
Therefore, Du Caige hopes that the relationship between the editor and himself can be simpler and more stable.
Fortunately, he will change the channel in the next book, which means that he will change the editor-in-charge.
With his current position in the online literature industry, even if he proposes to change the editor-in-charge now, it is not difficult, and the editor-in-chief will agree.
It's just that he thought, after all, people have been helping him with all their hearts, and so far they haven't done anything bad to him.
Just because I was worried that the other party would be disturbed by personal emotions in the future and be unfavorable to myself, I fired others in advance, which seems a bit ...... Excessively?
For a while, Du Caige didn't know what to do, so he could only take one step and watch one step.
Anyway, you don't have to deal with her during the serialization of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
As for the future, if you write a Xianxia novel again, let's talk about it later.
With the continuous growth of the average subscription of "Zhu Xian", as well as the rewards that pop up from time to time, Du Caige estimates that his income in April is likely to increase to 2 million.
Then there is the seamless connection of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and there is no need to rush to sell the copyright for the time being.
I liked to mention to him that now I am interested in the copyright of "Zhu Xian", and the quotations are very low, which is not cost-effective.
Physical publishing only gives 6% royalties, and those who want to buy film and television copyrights only want to package it if they get 3 million.
Du Caige himself knows very well how great the potential of the IP of "Zhu Xian" is, and he will never sell it at this price. Now that the situation has eased, there is naturally no rush to sell copyrights.
Especially film and television copyrights, if you really can't afford to sell them, wouldn't it be fragrant to keep them for filming in the future?
And now the identity of the original owner has become clear, and he is the notorious top musician "Lin Ke".
Du Caige himself remembers many classic songs, and he can finally come out with a reasonable appearance.
After making Jiang Youxi popular and re-proving his strength, he can selectively cooperate with some famous singers to make some quick money to pay off his debts, and he doesn't need to rely on selling copyrights cheaply to solve his urgent needs.
Du Caige thinks that it is enough to talk about 10% of the royalties of physical publishing, after all, he is still a rookie author.
Of course, if the physical version of "Zhu Xian" also gets a hot sale, the next one will naturally have to add money.
As for the film and television copyright, Du Caige wants to disassemble and sell.
The copyright of the TV series is about 800-10 million.
Film copyrights must have box office shares.
Of course, Du Caige knows that for now, this price is difficult to negotiate.
But it doesn't matter, it's okay to put it first.
In a few years, when "Zhu Xian" is brewing to become a national IP, and when fans can't wait to see the story of "Zhu Xian" on the screen, the desire of thousands of fans will converge into an unstoppable trend.
At that time, profit-seeking capital was naturally willing to spend money.
Or simply, the film and television copyright will not be sold, and you will shoot it yourself in the future.
It's just that although Du Caige's hands are itchy, he really wants to return to the director's chair.
However, after rational thinking, he dismissed this idea for the time being.
At least for a short time, he won't be going to make movies.
On Earth, his most recent movie is a sci-fi blockbuster with an investment of 350 million.
The purchasing power of Azure Star Dahuayuan is very strong.
The purchasing power of 350 million soft sister coins on the earth is only equivalent to 100 million yuan of Azure Star Dahuayuan.
So on this blue star, if you want to make a movie, you have to get hundreds of millions of investment first.
It's not interesting to go back and make a little fuss.
Although when he just crossed over, he once thought about remaking "Crazy Stone" to make his first pot of gold.
But at one time, at another.
Now, his first pot of gold has been earned through web novels.
Du Caige's plan for the next few years is to continue to write novels to make money, consolidate his position in the field of online novels, and also enter the field of physical publishing.
Then as "Lin Ke", he sold some songs and made money in a two-pronged way.
After paying off the arrears and having a deposit of one or two hundred million, he will invest in making movies by himself.
After straightening out the goal, Du Caige buried his head in the case and continued to work hard to carry "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
......
"Sister Chen, the coffee you wanted. Juanzi hurriedly ran over and panted and handed Duan Xiaochen a hot Starbucks vanilla latte.
"Thank you. Duan Xiaochen walked quickly through the corridor without stopping, talking to Ouyang Jin while following the bodyguards and other staff members.
After coming to the underground parking lot and getting into the nanny car, the conversation between Duan Xiaochen and Ouyang Jin finally came to an end.
After resting for a while and taking a few quick sips of coffee, Duan Xiaochen said, "What I want you to inquire about, how is the progress now?"
Ouyang Jin frowned, "You concentrate on recording the show first, and when the show is over, we'll talk about it alone." ”
"That's good. Duan Xiaochen lowered the chair a little and tilted his head to take a nap.
Even though she had just had a cup of coffee, she fell asleep quickly.
A hint of distress flashed in Juanzi's eyes, and she gently broke her fingers and took away her unfinished coffee.
It took several hours, and after recording the variety show, Duan Xiaochen was so tired that he didn't even want to move his little finger.
But she still cheered up, and after returning to the hotel to take a shower, she asked Ouyang Jin to meet in the lobby downstairs.
Although she has a good relationship with Ouyang Jin, and she is very aware of Ouyang Jin's sexual orientation, and she will not cause scandals, she still pays attention to avoiding suspicion, and it is impossible to talk to him for a long time in a hotel room.
Because now she not only wants to make the media unable to catch the pigtails, but also to reassure fans, and even more so to reassure Du Caige.
She has just taken a bath, her skin looks like her skin is blown, her hair is still a little damp, and her fresh and refined temperament has risen to the extreme, like a hibiscus out of water, which is amazing.
The big eyes were misty, as pitiful and cute as a fawn, and the body was like a ripe peach, which made people want to take a bite.
However, Ouyang Jin is already too familiar with her, too familiar, and because of his special orientation, he has long turned a blind eye to her beauty.
The pair of peach blossom eyes only glanced at Duan Xiaochen calmly, and then withdrew his gaze, like an old monk in a fixed place, and the ancient well did not wave.
