214, get rich!
The movie is called "山の郵便配達" in the neon country, and the published one is also called this name, but there is a subtitle below - Peng Jianming's Collection.
The cover of the whole book is a gradient color from green to yellow, and there is a hazy image of a father and son wearing a hat, and it looks like a watercolor effect, which is very beautiful.
On the waist cover of the book, there are stills from the movie - the father and son walked across the bridge, and the conspicuous "Yinghua [山の郵便配達] original] is printed on it.
Filming, in neon language, means movie.
In addition to this, there are also records of films and awards in China, such as the Golden Pheasant Award for Best Picture, starring and supporting actors, and the gimmick of the National Excellence Award.
Speaking of waist seals, Ning Yuan doesn't like this thing, it's no different from chicken ribs, and like Golden Week, it was also transmitted to China from the neon country.
The book is priced at 1280 Neon Coins.
However, just like movie tickets, Neon Nation books are also sold at discounts, ranging from 6% to 80% off.
In the contract signed by Ningyuan with Kodansha, it is clearly written: the price is 1280, and the unit price is 830.
According to this price, it is basically six or five percent off.
Royalties are called printing tax in the neon country, of course, it is not a tax, but the part of the sales amount returned to the author by the publishing house, which is the author's income.
Royalties are calculated according to the number of copies sold, but in Neon Country, the unit price of stamp tax is not the selling price, but the quoted unit price, which is equivalent to the recommended retail price of Huaxia.
Converted into Huaxia coins, a discount of 59 yuan is completed, and Ning Yuan takes 8% of the royalty, which is equivalent to selling a book, he can earn about 4 yuan 7.
And when they came to Ningyuan, the 30,000 copies of the first printing of this book had already been sold, and now the 50,000 copies of the second printing were sold.
The sale of 30,000 copies alone can bring 140,000 yuan to Ningyuan, and of course, you have to pay about 13% tax.
Regarding this aspect, because it involves his own interests, when he bought the copyright with Peng Jianming, Ning Yuan understood-
Huaxia's regulations are that if the foreign tax in China exceeds the domestic one, then there is no need to pay another in Huaxia, and the declaration at the end of the year is OK, and if it is lower than the domestic one, then it is necessary to make up the difference at the end of the year.
And the domestic manuscript tax standard, more than 4,000 is basically a tax rate of 11.2%, and the neon country's is significantly higher than that in China, so there is no need to make up more at that time, but it also makes Ning Yuan have to complain: It is really evil capitalism, and the taxes are higher.
Of course, the price of books in Neon Country is also higher, for example, the price of Peng Jianming's single book in China is only 16 yuan, which is more than three times the price of 59 compared with the discounted price in Neon Country.
If you look at it this way, well, capitalism is quite fragrant.
Now the money of the 30,000 books has been transferred to the account opened by Ning Yuanlai in Huaxia Bank before they withheld taxes, and Huaxia Bank had a branch in Edo as early as the eighties.
The income is more than 120,000, excluding the cost of buying copyrights, there is a surplus of more than 20,000 yuan, and as for the follow-up royalties, they are all Ning Yuan's.
I'm so happy, after Ning Yuan got their remittance receipt, his heart was as bright as the sun now.
Back then, this episode sold nearly 200,000 copies in a year in Neon Country.
And now it's hotter than it was back then, and it's definitely only a lot more. Even if there are 200,000 copies, after deducting the 100,000 yuan and tax for buying copyrights, Ning Yuan can earn more than 700,000!
Boom Earn!
Although Ning Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of a lot, in that year, Shueisha, the publishing house that published in the previous life, the price they gave Peng Jianming was definitely not as good as their own.
Although Ning Yuan didn't know the price they bought from Peng Jianming, according to what Ning Yuan learned when he negotiated the contract with the talk talk club before, the buyout price of the newcomers in the Neon Kingdom publishing industry is generally 10,000 words, which is more than 700 yuan when converted into Huaxia coins.
But there is one point, this is a newcomer to the neon country, but the businessman is profit-seeking, although Peng Jianming in this time period has a certain reputation in Huaxia, but he is only a niche in Huaxia, not a best-selling author, and the publication price is 300 words per thousand.
And when it comes to Neon Country, Peng Jianming is still in the category of newcomers, without any appeal, as for the movie - at that time, the distributor was in preparation, and no one knew that the box office would explode, and the publishing house was unlikely to give a high price.
An overseas copyright, let alone 300, even if it is 100 or 200, it is a surprise for Peng Jianming, and for businessmen, if it can be bought out with two or three hundred, why spend 700?
In this way, even if it is calculated according to 130,000 words, that is, thirty or forty thousand yuan, otherwise when Ning Yuan opened his mouth of 100,000, it would be impossible to surprise Peng Jianming.
After all, Ning Yuan is a middleman, and he has to make the difference.
So at the beginning, Ning Yuan also smiled with Peng Jianming: "If the movie sells in Neon Country and drives the sales of the set, don't say that I take advantage of you." ”
It was originally a contract written in black and white, buying out the copyright of Neon Language, even if Peng Jianming was no longer angry, it was useless, so Ning Yuan didn't need to go online, just use this tone to give him an epidemic prevention shot.
And Peng Jianming shook his head with a smile: "Even if you sell it high, I won't be blushing, the price you gave is already higher than I imagined, just worried that you won't lose." ”
The afternoon signing meeting surprised Peng Jianming, although he also knew that the movie was sold out in Neon Country, but he still exclaimed: "Why are there so many people?"
Ning Yuan smiled but did not speak.
At the end of the evening, Peng Jianming couldn't even hold his chopsticks, he could only use a spoon, he slumped in the chair and sighed:
"Thinking that there are more than a dozen more in the future, I really feel like I'm crazy, and I dare to even agree to such a thing!"
"If you have money to earn, you will have an income of one dollar if you sign a book, and you can earn a thousand yuan in one afternoon, I want to too, but unfortunately I am not an author. Ning Yuan said with a smile.
As he spoke, Ning Yuan scooped a spoonful of seafood soup for Peng Jianming with a soup spoon: "This is nutritious, you can make up for it." ”
Peng Jianming smiled bitterly: "No matter how much it is, it's hard work, it's four hours, and my head is almost dizzy." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ning Yuan: "I have to say, you really have vision, you have to make money this time, I envy you." ”
However, he added: "There is envy, but I am not red-eyed, when you paid the 100,000 yuan at the beginning, but you took a big risk, I don't have the courage." ”
Han Ping also said with a smile on the side: "He does have the courage, he took the initiative to come to Neon for distribution, and said that he couldn't sell the 60,000 US dollars given by the publisher, and he made up for it." ”
Peng Jianming was even more shocked, looked at Ning Yuan with wide eyes, and only gave a thumbs up after a while: "You cow!"
It's just that the thumbs up tremble slightly.
The next day, the box office statistics of the previous day came out, with a total of 200 theaters and more than 600 screens in the three theaters, with a total box office of more than 50 million!
And most of the box office is concentrated in the two shows of the night, with an average of more than forty people per game.
As for Ning Yuan, after calculating with a calculator, his eyes lit up: "I'm rich!"
