Rin Chihara was slightly disappointed in the love field, but his career was proud, his hooves flew all the way, and he ran like a wild donkey - the drama "Hanzawa Naoki" was like a surging trend, almost unstoppable, and the ratings soared in less than a month.

The seventh episode has an average time-sharing rating of 32.9% and a time-sharing maximum rating of 36.2%, the eighth episode has an average time-sharing rating of 35% and a time-sharing maximum rating of 39.2%, and the ninth episode has achieved a good score of 37.7% and 43.23% respectively, and what is even more terrifying is that the ratings share has reached 84%.

This means that the program in the same period as "Naoki Hanzawa" basically has no audience, let alone ratings, but no one sympathizes with this group of unlucky people, critics and media don't care, they all stare at the ratings of "Naoki Hanzawa" and talk about it, thinking that a super national hit drama with ratings of more than 40% is about to be born, and even does not rule out the possibility of setting a new record.

At present, the record holder of the highest ratings in the world is the 88-year-old Taiga drama "Kido Yellow Gate", with an average rating of 42.7% in the time-sharing, and has defeated several challengers in a row, and there is no doubt that "Hanzawa Naoki" can exceed 40%, after all, the final episode of a season often has a very large increase in ratings, but whether it can break the record is the focus of the current debate, and it is very noisy for a while.

Rin Chihara didn't care about these rumors from the outside world, and kept his head buried in work.

At this time, it was the first weekend of September, the filming of the main drama of "Naoki Hanzawa" had completely ended, and the SP episode had also entered a state of waiting to be edited.

He had always felt lonely in this strange country, and he really didn't know what to do other than work.

But no matter whether he was dazed or not, the shutdown ceremony was still to be held, and Rin Chihara led the crew to thank the camera, and then removed the scene where the studio should be demolished, and the camera was directly sealed, obviously there was no plan to continue filming the second season of "Naoki Hanzawa" - this has been busy for nearly three months in vain, and there is no vacation at all, and it will be transferred for another three months, so there will be a real death in the crew.

The working group began to take a holiday in batches, waiting for the final season results to come out and then have a celebration banquet together, Chihara Rin also went back to his office, and began to think about what the focus of the season's work should be, but he had just returned to the office and sat for two or three hours, Shiga Ayumi called over and asked with a smile, "Does Chihara-sensei have time now?"

"Yes, do you have any instructions from Director Shiga?" Rin Chihara was helping the unlucky apprentice level up while thinking about the new script, and he did have time, so he immediately said, "Do you need me to go to your side?"

"No, no, I just want to give a gift to Chihara-sensei, as long as you're not busy. Shiga laughed and hung up the phone, and Rin Chihara looked at the phone in confusion, not understanding what the "gift" meant—could it be a special set of pufferfish?

As a result, before he could figure it out, Iori Murakami brought him two guests, two senior staff members of the Snow Publishing House, Yasushi Hoda and Yuto Ohata.

After asking them about their intentions, Rin Chihara was slightly surprised: "You want to publish "Hanzawa Naoki"?"

He really didn't expect this, it was all adapted from a book to a TV series, and he basically hadn't heard much of it from a TV series and back to a book.

Yasu Hoda, dressed in a professional suit, took out a document to show him, and said politely: "Mr. Chihara, this is market research data, and now many readers have responded to us, hoping to buy "Hanzawa Naoki", and we thought about it, this is a matter of mutual benefit, so we took the liberty to ask if your station has any ideas for adapting the TV series, and Director Shiga asked us to talk to you directly." ”

Obata Yuto was a little older, and added with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are actually not outsiders, and we are also a member of the "Yumoto Economic News", if Chihara-sensei has this idea, it is much better to hand it over to us than to hand it over to outsiders, and with the intention of Director Shiga, we will definitely give you the best conditions, you can rest assured." ”

Rin Chihara looked at Iori Murakami and asked strangely, "Is this possible?" I mean in terms of copyright, the copyright of "Naoki Hanzawa" should now belong to Kanto United Television, right?"

Iori Murakami smiled: "The copyright is always yours, and in terms of copyright, Director Shiga has already instructed that the publishing rights of literary works will be returned to you, and you can use them as you like, and the income will be yours in full." ”

Rin Chihara was stunned, and suddenly realized, this is really a gift.

Shiga is too careful, seeing that the results of "Hanzawa Naoki" have exploded, I am afraid that he will run away or be abducted back by the Big Five, this is giving him sweetness!

It's really hearty, he's doing a good job here, and he doesn't plan to run for the time being, but the sweetness given by Shiga Ayumi is really sweet enough, and he is really willing to spend money in order to win people's hearts - it can really be negotiated, which represents a lot of money!

It's still quite easy to make money as a writer, but to what extent can you go best? It's so good that you don't want to go back to China!

For example, Murakami X tree, who lives abroad all the year round, said that he should write well on the surface, but in fact, everyone guesses that he is to avoid taxes - according to the provisions of this tax law, if you live overseas for a long time, you don't have to pay taxes in this book, it can be seen that this guy's royalty income is so high that it is extremely heartbreaking to pay taxes, and he doesn't even want a home.

Of course, this is a guess, but in the case of the high income of writing books, it must be fine.

It's just that I'm afraid that the literary script is very different, and readers may not necessarily buy it, but because of copyright, as long as the book is printed, whether it can be sold or not, the publishing house must pay royalties, that is, as long as the "book" is given to the publishing house, it is basically equivalent to getting a sum of money?

This gift is really good, it is equivalent to part of the bonus for the success of the drama "Naoki Hanzawa", Ayumi Shiga is generous enough, it's a bit interesting!

Chihara Rin couldn't help but have a good impression of Shiga Ayumi +200 again, and immediately became interested, he is in urgent need of money now, so why don't someone send money to the door? It is none of his business whether the publishing house pays or not, anyway, he didn't want to be a writer in the first place, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the publishing house.

He immediately turned out the literary script of "Hanzawa Naoki" and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Do you think it is feasible to change this and print it directly?"

Yasuya Hoda and Yuto Obata immediately took it and looked at it together, it took more than half an hour, and then talked in a low voice for a while, Yuto Obata smiled and said: "It's good, it's just a little shorter, I hope it can be slightly adapted to flesh out the details and text, but Mr. Chihara don't worry, if you are at ease, you can hand it over to us directly." ”

Xuexia Publishing House is also a large publishing house, there is no shortage of gunners and editors, and it is very optimistic about this project, and I feel that the market should be quite large. It is said that the people have the habit of buying books and collecting books, mainly because the government has continued to encourage this behavior for many years, and the money to buy books can be used to offset a certain amount of personal taxes, and for people with good incomes, many times it is equivalent to not buying for nothing, including a large number of office workers - these people like the drama "Hanzawa Naoki" very much, so when they see a book published, it is very likely to buy a collection.

They were sure that they would sell the book, and as for helping Rin Chihara polish the manuscript again, they just did it and didn't find it difficult to do anything.

It didn't take much of his own time, and Rin Chihara was more satisfied, and immediately said, "That's troublesome, but I want the final review right, and I agree to it before it can be published." As for the cost......"

Yasu Baoda had no opinion on the right to review, and immediately said: "Generally, the royalty of the second published works in the industry is 8~10%, how about we pay the highest 10%?"

Chihara Rin didn't know much about the publishing industry, and the original owner didn't have any relevant memories, so he immediately looked at Uemura Iori, and Uemura Iori naturally wanted to help him raise the price, and said with a smile: "I've heard that the royalty of Mr. Yuko Asami is 14% before......"

The word royalty does not refer to the tax, but to the share of money that should be given to the author according to the copyright, for example, 10% of the royalty multiplied by the price of the book and then multiplied by the number of prints, which is the share that the copyright owner should take.

"Yuko Asami is the first work, and the royalty is naturally a little higher. "Yasu Hoda is a price according to the default rules in the industry, so naturally it is impossible to let go easily," Mr. Chihara's work is actually equivalent to having been published once, so it will naturally be slightly reduced. ”

"Chihara's work is also published for the first time, and the popularity of the TV series shows that it has opened up an audience for the book, and taking 10% is too little. Murakami Iori argued with reason, and Yuto Obata soon joined the battlefield, and the three of them had a heated discussion, and finally decided to pay royalties at 11.5%, print 15,000 copies of the first edition to see how it went, and if the sales were good, they would reprint again.

Rin Chihara couldn't interject, so he listened and calculated how much he could catch this time.

If it's about 3,000 yen per volume, that's nearly 5.2 million yen.

Shiga Ayumi's bonus is level.,Start with five million yen.,If it's high, it's not possible to have tens of millions of yen.,And the meaning of his hint is obvious.,As long as you stay in Kanto United TV and continue to work.,The right to adapt the literary work of the script in the future will be left to me?

After he finished calculating the money, Murakami, Obata and Hoda also determined the conditions, and then immediately called someone from the legal department to draft a formal contract, stipulating the rights and obligations of both parties, and quickly got everything done.

After sending the guests away, Iori Murakami came back and smiled: "It's okay, Chihara, you're making a fortune." ”

"I'll invite you to drink when I turn around!" Chihara Rin smiled, "It seems that Director Shiga is afraid that the two of us will run away, did he tell you anything?"

Iori Murakami smiled: "The main reason is that he is afraid that you will leave, but he did mention that he wants to change the short contract to a long contract." ”

When they came to Kanto United Television, they only signed a one-year contract, after all, there were no results at that time, it was not good to ask for a high price, and it was too much of a loss to sign a long contract, and Shiga Ayuki was thirsty for talent, but it was not clear whether Chihara Rin could really produce results, and there was no objection at the time, so it was decided for the time being, and now that half a year has passed, it is estimated that I am not at ease at first, and I am already thinking about changing the contract.

This is quite normal, and Rin Chihara is not surprised, mainly because he is worried that the consortium and the Internet upstarts will do it, and he will be involved as cannon fodder, otherwise it will be nothing to sign for five years and ten years at a time.

He smiled: "Let's not rush, let's wait and see!"

Murakami Iori has no opinion, anyway, she will definitely follow Chihara Rinto, and now as long as she waits for the other party, she will pay a high price, so there is really no need to rush. She saw that she had nothing to do with herself, and got up to leave, but Chihara Rin stopped her and said, "By the way, Bai Mujun has also contributed to literary scripts, how much do you think it is appropriate for me to share him?"

Iori Murakami was surprised and said, "Do you need to give it to him?"

"Of course, he's the second author!" "Chihara Rin is not a person who likes to eat alone, and I'm even more afraid that no one will help him in the future, if it weren't for Murakami Iori not participating in the creation of the script, otherwise she would have shared her share, and said directly: "The points must be divided, but the points are a little uncertain." ”

"He's supposed to help you with your work, and he's not unpaid. Murakami Iori felt that it was unnecessary, but he knew Chihara Rin better, thought about it and said, "If you feel that you can't go away, you can give him another remuneration...... I remember that a 350-word manuscript in a magazine is usually priced at about 5,000 yen, so you can count the words and pay him. ”

Chihara Rin pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, let's take a look at the situation first! If the book sells well, it will be given to him at 1% royalty, and if it does not sell well, it will be given to him according to the remuneration." ”

Murakami Iori has no opinion, anyway, it's Chihara Rinren's money, he can spend it however he likes, and said with a smile as he walked out: "Chihara, don't save so much when you have money soon, order a better suit, you will use it soon." ”

Rin Chihara was thinking about the money, and looked up and asked strangely, "Are there any big occasions lately?"

Murakami Iori can be regarded as serving Rin Chihara, obviously the salary is very high, but he has been wearing a few clothes back and forth, and he doesn't know where he spent the money, and said with a smile: "We have a very good hope of winning the star award, and we will attend the award ceremony then, please be sure to dress well, you are now the face of our crew!"

Rin Chihara reacted at this time, by the way, there is still a prize to win at the end of the season!

Is it the first award in your life?
