Chapter Fifty-Eight: The White Wolf with Empty Gloves

A few hours later.

Inside Wang's office.

Richardson's lawyer examined the Arcane Throne comic book licensing contract and the non-disclosure agreement.

Then, the two agreements were handed to Mike Richardson.

The tall middle-aged white man looked at the contract on the table for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and reluctantly signed his name.

Wang gradually smiled and looked at all this.

Then, while shaking hands with the other party, he said, "I wish you a happy cooperation." ”

Richardson put away the document and said to Wang gradually with a gloomy face: "We will complete the first edition of the comic book of "Arcane Divine Seat" within a week. ”

"When the time comes, I will show you the sample book first. Then, we were talking about how many copies to distribute. ”

Wang gradually nodded and said, "My request is to control the cost of each comic at about $1.5." ”

"We will also do some publicity for the comics within the limited publicity channels. ”

Richardson put the cold coffee on the table and drank it down.

Then, he walked out of Wang Yan's office with the lawyer.

And the smile on Wang Yan's face suddenly retracted.

He immediately turned to Tom and said, "The contract for the game copyright and 50% of the comic rights authorized to EA, you can complete it as soon as possible." ”

"Get the $900,000 licensing fee first, and then talk to them about the subsidy cost for each comic. ”

"The minimum is $1.5 per comic. ”

Tom looked at Wang gradually in amazement, and said, "You don't plan to spend a little resources on the comic version of "Arcane Divine Seat"?"

"Why didn't you spend resources?" Wang gradually asked: "On the headline of the website, it is written that the comic copyright and game copyright of "Arcane Throne" have been sold, and I hope that the majority of readers will support "Arcane Throne", isn't it considered a resource?"

Tom looked at Wang Jian fixedly, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I think that under your leadership, the website may really grow to an astonishing point." ”

Wang gradually waved his hand casually and said, "You call Dorsey in, we need to publish this news on the website." ”

"Let authors know that they can sell all kinds of copyrights without going through a publishing house. Then, motivate them to come and publish their work on our website. ”

"Understood. Tom nodded, and walked out of the office.

Moments later, Dorsey walked in.

As soon as he came in, he complained loudly: "We just fixed the bugs on the website, won't we have to revamp it again?"

Wang gradually shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a big change. ”

"You only need to add a click entry to the homepage of the website to sell the surrounding copyrights. ”

"As soon as people click in, they can know which works have been sold through the website for a high licensing fee. ”

"Is that all?" Dorsey muttered, "and that won't be difficult. ”

"By the way, you can call in a couple more editors from the site. ”

"I have something to explain. ”

"Okay. Dorsey also turned away.

Then, four young editors walked in.

Of these four editors, two are unsatisfactory editors who were originally mixed up in the publishing house.

The other two are "writers" whose works have not been published.

Wang gradually looked at them and asked, "Recently, apart from "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Arcane Throne", are there any particularly good works. ”

"We can't just rely on these two novels and read them for a fee. ”

The older editor said: "There are a few novels, both literary and ideological, and we are very optimistic. ”

"It's just that readers are not very enthusiastic about reading. ”

"Show me which ones. ”

The editor walked up to Wang's computer, tapped the keyboard a few times, and said to Wang, "That's it. ”

Wang gradually looked down for a moment, and his eyebrows furrowed.

The first book is to learn the style and writing style of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

All kinds of characters are mixed, in reverse order, and there are constant interludes.

The second book is even more exaggerated, it is simply an inferior American version of "Notre Dame de Paris".

Throughout the story, the protagonist is either betrayed by his brother or abandoned by his girlfriend.

In the end, on Christmas Eve, drunk on the streets of New York.

Wang gradually took a deep breath and said, "You must understand that we are not traditional literature. ”

"Our strength lies in novelty and fantasy. ”

"The most important thing is that readers are happy to read it and are willing to spend money. ”

"But," one editor replied, "aren't you not allowed to publish content above PG-13?"

Wang gradually rubbed his head and said, "Do you have to PG-13 to make readers like it?"

"Think about your usual daydreams, suddenly there is an endless amount of money, a beautiful woman crying and shouting to marry you, you suddenly have a special function. ”

"These can be written as novels and published on the website. ”

Wang gradually pointed to the novels on the computer and said, "These are just a faΓ§ade." ”

"Today, I'm going to teach you what works you need to focus on. ”

"First of all, in the first three chapters, the protagonist has to show something different. ”

Secondly, even if it is a tragedy, it must also give the reader a sense of substitution. ”

"Finally, and most importantly, an article that readers will like and spend money on is a good article. ”

"Literary and ideological, I threw it aside. ”

"Except for well-known authors, don't talk about literary works and don't appear on the front page of the site. ”

"Got it?"

The four editors looked at each other for a moment before whispering, "Understood." ”

Wang gradually pointed to the "I Am Really an Archmage" that had been blocked, and said, "This person is not bad, you can try to contact him." ”

"Let's see if he has any new works. If so, you can put the work on the front page without infringing the copyright of other works. ”

"Okay. One editor agreed, a little depressed.

Wang gradually looked at the other party and said: "In the future, in addition to the basic salary, your salary will also increase a part of the bonus depending on the sales of the works you are responsible for." ”

"Alright, you guys get out. ”

The eyes of several editors who heard this lit up instantly.

Wang gradually looked at their departing backs and shook his head gently.

There are still stinky problems brought by those publishing houses.

However, I believe that soon, the dollar will wake them up.

He sighed.

In the current situation, the website can only rely on its own "Arcane Throne" to support it first.

So...

I can only code words as soon as possible.

Wang gradually frantically coded words on the keyboard while looking at the third book in his mind that was about to reveal his true face.

I just hope that this is a good adaptation of the novel.

He stood up and watched the sun set over the horizon.

Suddenly, I felt a little craving for tomatoes and scrambled eggs that my mother had made in my previous life.

ps: Novice online article, I feel the bottleneck period.

It's a bit boring to write ...

However, the level is limited, sorry.
