Chapter 52: Shocking the Editorial Department [Asking for Recommendations and Collections]

Monday mornings are always about panic.

Whether it is a student or an office worker, this day is the most hated.

Xu Qiang never opens his work email and TT during off-duty hours, even if something big happens, he has to wait until he goes to work to solve it.

The bus and subway in the morning were too crowded to be squeezed, and the clock-in time was two or three minutes late.

"Qiangzi, the meeting will be in half an hour. ”

"Okay, I'll turn on the computer first. ”

I can do a lot of things in half an hour, Xu Qiang turned on the computer, and a large number of message reminders and the author's friend reminders immediately popped up on TT, email receipt notifications, etc.

There are many things that accumulate over the weekend, and these can only be viewed one by one.

Some authors can't write a novel and want to finish it, some authors want to release a new book, some people are asking for recommendations, and some people are hesitating whether to write a certain plot.

Editing is not a one-on-one service, and there are always hundreds or thousands of authors who come to the door on weekends, especially part-time authors.

Xu Qiang has a good personality, is not impatient or impatient, replies and solves them one by one.

When he saw the message sent by Qin Chuan, the whole person was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but come out with a dirty word: "Damn, this will sell the copyright?"

The monitor read: "Maoda, Flame Pictures has taken a fancy to my book and wants to buy the film adaptation rights for the movie "Erlang God", can the lawyer from the copyright department of Huayue introduce it to me?"

When Xu Qiang signed "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", it was completely novel.

Nowadays, most of the online articles belong to the type of flat and stable, and readers are pursuing innovation and want to see the type of winning with curiosity.

As a result, the novel became popular unexpectedly, and the Qianlong Forum, the author group, the reader group, and the book review area were all discussing and recommending it.

It has even formed a "good atmosphere" of pit readers and friends.

In the end, a big star was pitted in and brought it directly out of the circle!

Mo Hongguang, a colleague sitting next to him, asked curiously: "Which book sold the copyright?"

"People grow and hate water!"

"I remember that this book hasn't been on the shelves yet, right? Another colleague, Du Zhishang, held a teacup and sighed, "Which company is so discerning? Newcomers should not be deceived by the leather bag company, sell the copyright very cheaply, and regret it later." ”

Xu Qiang's heart sank, he was really worried that Qin Chuan would be deceived!

He said that it was Flame Pictures and bought the copyright to make a movie about Erlang God Yang Jian. ”

"That's terrible! It's a liar. ”

"That's right. Didn't Blaze Pictures start filming a long time ago? I remember seeing the news at the beginning of the year that the Erlang God movie was about to be released. ”

"Life is so abusive, if it is made into a movie, maybe a viewing hall will be full of sobs, and the audience will probably tear the producer apart. ”

"Quickly ask Qin Chuan if the contract has been signed, don't be deceived!"

Colleagues gossip.

Even if he is not Qin Chuan's editor-in-charge, he doesn't want the author to be deceived at this time.

Xu Qiang typed quickly: "Are you sure it's someone from Blaze Pictures? Don't sign the contract, I'll contact the legal department immediately and ask a professional lawyer for help." ”

At this time, Qin Chuan and a group of students were standing in the canopy next to the tennis court to avoid the rain.

The weather was gloomy just now, and in the blink of an eye, there was a violent storm.

A few small canopies could only cover the overhead, and the strong wind blew the rain directly in, and only the innermost few people were not wet.

Qin Chuan heard the reminder of the mobile phone message in his trouser pocket, he turned his back to the rain curtain outside, unlocked the phone himself, and typed in response: "I went to the Flame Pictures building to talk to them, and I also searched for the identity of the producer." They don't need the whole novel of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", they just choose a few tens of thousands of words from it for adaptation. I'll send you the draft contract to see. This 8 million must change, and I have to pay at least 10 million, and it is better to have 1200 or 1300. ”

Xu Qiang felt that it was best to ask Huayue to send an official letter to Blaze Pictures to ask if there was such a thing, and then he saw the first version of the contract that had been filmed, and he didn't know what to say.

The novel is only more than 100,000 words, and there are still a few days left on the shelves, and Blaze Pictures is willing to spend so much money to just buy the film adaptation rights, and don't want any other copyrights.

How much is it needed?

However, Xu Qiang thought about it, the copyright fee of 10 million is really a drop in the bucket compared with the global box office of tens of billions, and if you add the rest of the income, a movie in the mythical movie universe has to be doubled!

The conditions are so superior that even Xu Qiang was thrilled when he saw it.

Don't look at the income of the gods, but the film copyright owners are very shrewd and basically don't give high prices.

The high price is generally game copyright, TV series copyright, and animation copyright.

The main reason is that the competition pressure in the Chinese film market is high, the online article is too long, and after the adaptation, it offends both fans and the audience, and it is not pleasing to both sides.

If it is made into a TV series, it can better show the worldview of the novel.

Xu Qiang had to admire Qin Chuan, he tossed such a big thing silently!

A newcomer has something to do with the famous mythological movie universe. In the case of propaganda materials flying all over the sky, as long as there is a little more media to write, "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" will be a big hit!

"Hadron, what are you smirking at?"

"Is it really a flame?"

"Hurry up and verify!"

"I'll see, let me see. ”

"Two days ago, Yang Jian's actors were still pushing this book on Weibo in disguise. Was he acting in marketing, or did he really discover the book at that time?"

"A book is adapted into at least three movies, which is a good deal!"

"Good guys! 8 million copyright fees, and you have to sign the opening credits. Qin Chuan can't be the son of Flame Pictures, right?

The group of editors were all joining in the fun, gathering together, craneing their necks and looking ahead.

If it is a great god, it is not surprising to sell the copyright.

It's just a newcomer, or a newcomer whose novels haven't been put on the shelves!

Sell the film adaptation rights to Blaze Pictures, and the value of the rest of the rights will increase dramatically, and maybe set a new record!

No newcomer has yet made it to the list of rich writers when he writes his first novel.

Even if 10 million Chinese dollars is not enough for Qin Chuan to be on the list, at least 20 million will be needed.

And for him, this is just selling the rights in the other direction.

The staff of the legal department has already received Xu Qiang's feedback, and is in full swing to contact Blaze Pictures, if the news is verified, there will be a special lawyer to contact Qin Chuan.

Xu Qiang really didn't expect that he could sign such a treasure with a guarantee of 50 thousand words, which was too unexpected!

"What are you doing here, why don't you come here for a meeting!"

Lin Huiming knocked on the partition of his desk, and his tone was a little low.

"Boss, I'll report good news to you, Blaze Pictures is ready to buy the film adaptation rights of Qin Chuan's "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong"!"

Lin Huiming, who has always been old-fashioned, couldn't help but widen his eyes, turned his head and asked, "What? Flame Pictures?

How did these two come together?
