Chapter 195: It's a bit unreasonable
"Hmm" Deng Lin held his glasses and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Ningzi, you talk to them tomorrow, remember not to sign any contract, don't promise any promises, you say all the problems and then consider it, I don't know much about this aspect of the situation now, give me two days, I will check the information in this area and find my colleagues to understand the situation of potatoes, and then we will talk to them about signing the contract." ”
Although Deng Lin's part-time law firm is not very well-known in the eyes of ordinary people in the Jinshawan area, it is involved in various fields of business, and has participated in many review and approval work, so the inside information of many enterprises can be understood as long as they are patiently analyzed. Speaking of which, although this kid is not very reliable, as a standard rich child, this backstage strength is leveraged.
Take this lawyer office as an example, it is a well-known existence in the professional field, and professional and experienced lawyers who want to enter have to be reviewed and screened layer by layer, and they can be stuffed into a non-professional who comes to work part-time, of course, Deng Lin is barely a professional now, although it is not yet a formal regular.
Shen Ning nodded in response, and nodded slightly in his heart, it seems that his decision is right, Deng Lin, this kid is indeed a manufacturable material, plan and then act. Shen Ning didn't plan to settle this tomorrow, the bamboo pole had to be knocked out little by little, and tomorrow he just wanted to touch the bottom line of the potato from the side and prepare for maximizing his interests.
"Anla, my brother's happy life in the second half of his life depends on you, junior" Shen Ning waved his hand at Deng Lin.
"Don't be big or small, call the third brother," Deng Lin corrected very seriously.
In fact, the age difference between the six people is not much, except for the eldest Lei Tianhu, who is one year older, everyone else is the same age, and even the fifth toilet is only two weeks older than Shen Ning. Therefore, Shen Ning has always been obsessed with the end of his ranking, and strongly asks for his skills to be ranked from the new ranking.
The next day, Shen Ning spent the morning in his brother's house very leisurely, and it was almost twelve o'clock before he rushed to "Yaqin".
This time point is the busiest time for the restaurant, and when Shen Ning arrived, it was already overcrowded, and Shen Ning was still wearing flip-flops and five-point pants T-shirt, and he really felt like a flock of chickens and cranes in the crowd.
went straight into the small private room in the innermost row of the restaurant, and the people who were sitting and drinking tea inside were obviously a little stunned when they saw Shen Ning come in.
Shen Ning took a quick glance, in his fifties, black retro striped glasses, black and white hair but neatly combed, a neat white shirt, and the tail corner tucked under the jet-black belt.
"It seems that he is a serious and old-fashioned person, and it is not easy to do it. Shen Ning thought.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Ma Dong, Ma Editor?"
"That's... Xiao Ningzi?" Ma Dong still had a confused expression.
Shen Ning nodded affirmatively, and Ma Dong looked at Shen Ning incredulously: "Are you really that little Ningzi?"
"It's like a fake," said Shen Ning, who found a seat by the window and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.
After getting Shen Ning's affirmation, Ma Dong believed it, but he still had this incredible expression on his face.
In Ma Dong's mind, he thought that a person who can write such a sophisticated pen as an eagle shooter and a huge and complex content framework must be a person with rich life experience, and the old man is not, no matter how he says it, he must be a person in his forties and fifties.
Shen Ning calmly twisted the small teacup in his hand, looked at Ma Dong with a smile, and felt a burst of joy in his heart. He almost understood what Ma Dong was thinking at this time, but he didn't rush to explain. Shen Ning enjoyed Ma Dong's ghost-like expression, and thought to himself: "Geniuses are often extraordinary, how can you be understood by ordinary people."
After a long time, Ma Dong patted his head: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, I can see from last night's sentence Ma Hemei and the whip, it should be a person with unreliable brain circuits." No matter how much middle-aged and elderly people jump, they can't be so mavericks, I'm so stupid, really, I just know that there are wolves in winter...... Ahh
After sorting out his thoughts, Ma Dong calmed down and looked at Shen Ning.
Shen Ning was still drinking tea, ignoring Ma Dong's gaze, and looking at the scenery outside the window comfortably, as if there was some attractive scenery outside the window. Well, Shen Ning is just looking at the beautiful eyebrows passing by outside the window, not pretending to be deep, not to mention, the girls in this season are really tempting.
"Uh... What do you call a brother?" Ma Dong asked as he saw Shen Ning ignoring him.
"Shen Ning, just call me Xiao Ningzi" Shen Ning finally turned his gaze.
"Mr. Shen, hello, although it's the first time we've met, I'm not polite or anything, the purpose of my visit today is to talk to Mr. Shen about the signing of the book "Condor Shooting"!" Ma Dong felt that he couldn't delay any longer, and went straight to the road.
"It's no problem to sign the contract, but what kind of treatment does your company plan to give me?" Shen Ning asked as he looked into Ma Dong's eyes.
"This is the contract we have preliminarily drawn up, you can take a look" Ma Dong took out a contract from his black leather bag and handed it to Shen Ning.
Shen Ning took a quick look, put the contract on the table, and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
"What's the matter? Are you not satisfied? If there is any problem, Mr. Shen can raise it, and we can discuss it again. Seeing that Shen Ning was silent for a long time, Ma Dong's expression seemed to be a little nervous, and he hurriedly remedied.
In fact, the treatment in the contract is still good, and the treatment directly given to Shen Ning is the top god-level treatment. General authors, after they are put on the shelves, and the company's subscription and reward are divided into five or five points, and the great god author can be divided into seventy percent if it is a little higher. Then add a variety of attendance awards, quarterly awards, annual awards or something, and the treatment is still good.
And the treatment of potatoes to Shen Ning is eighty percent, which is rare in potatoes, except for the old kind of veteran-level authors, basically this is the highest. It can be seen that potatoes still attach great importance to Shen Ning, but Shen Ning is still not very satisfied. In fact, Shen Ning is quite satisfied with the revenue sharing, but there is a clause at the end of the contract on the issue of copyright ownership, which makes Shen Ning very dissatisfied.
The terms and conditions include the copyright of film and television, physical book publishing, adaptation, etc., and the potato requirements account for half.
Shen Ning couldn't accept this. Although the Internet is now in power and the physical market is declining, there is still a huge audience base. With the classic degree of Mr. Jin, I believe that even the audience who has seen it once on their mobile phones will still be generous to buy a paper version to treasure.
Then, the most important point is the film and television adaptation rights, which Shen Ning is even more impossible to give up. You don't see how popular the movies and TV series adapted from the "Condor Trilogy" in the previous life are, even if you find some bad movies made by traffic stars who rely on hype and have no acting skills, the ratings can explode, which shows how far the old man's cattle have broken.
Shen Ning didn't want that at that time, when he made a lot of money from this, someone would snatch food from his bowl. You think, you stole a chicken, and you were chased, and you were chased by dogs, and you plucked your feathers, and you made a fire to roast, and finally the chicken was ripe, and when you were about to feast, someone next to you came to chop half of it for you, can you bear it?
"The treatment is reluctant, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to divide half of this copyright, right?" Shen Ning stared at Ma Dong's eyes and said slowly: "I'm afraid you also know that the quality of this book, less than a month after it was released, has become popular to this extent." I can tell you for sure that this is not a quarter of the way through, and I believe that by the time I finish it, I believe it will reach a certain level, right?"
And, most crucially, this is a good adaptation for film and television dramas. I believe that many people will be willing to see it adapted into a TV series, isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to ask me for half of the copyright?"
"Let's take it a step further, I don't post it on your potatoes, but in other places, such as Shengda Bowen, even if it is posted on some small websites, this will still be as popular as it is now......"
After saying these words, Shen Ning didn't say anything more, just looked at Ma Dong quietly.
"Admittedly, as you said, this book is indeed of high quality, and it will be even more popular in the future. But as far as the category of martial arts is concerned, whether it is sales or publicity channels, or the audience, the strength of our potatoes is much stronger than the other two,"
