"On what terms?"

"You are not allowed to adapt derivative works based on "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" in any way, such as TV series, dramas, musicals, anime, reality shows, etc., even if it is based on the movie script of "Erlang God". ”

In the novel copyright market, this is the easiest trap.

Obviously, when authorizing, it was written that it was only the copyright of the movie, but the producer took advantage of the loophole and adapted the movie script into a TV series.

In this way, you can sophistry in court, and you are not adapting a novel, but an adapted movie script!

In the last life, many novels suffered from this dilemma.

The author sold the film adaptation rights and TV series adaptation rights separately to two companies, Guangguang Media and LeTV Pictures. LeTV Pictures, which bought the adaptation rights of the TV series, actually made a version of the movie according to the script of the TV series, directly bypassing the original author.

Qin Chuan now just wants to put an end to future troubles!

When Liu Daoyong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, our company has always only made movies, not TV series." ”

"Then let's just say it on the contract. ”

There is no basis for empty words, and if there is a dispute at that time, the court will not rule in favor of Qin Chuan because of this unsubstantiated sentence.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, don't look at everyone and harmony now, and when the contract is signed, you won't know.

"Are there any other requirements?"

Qin Chuan nodded and added, "I hope that after the contract is signed, you will release a relevant news or news announcement." ”

If you sell the movie adaptation rights, you have to let the big guys know!

Especially when it was sold to Blaze Pictures, it was a big deal.

Otherwise, publishing companies and film and television companies would have no way of knowing. After the briefing, the readers were happy, the novel websites were happy, and those companies had to come up with super high salaries.

Qin Chuan is using short-term millions of benefits to pave the way for his future self, and the long-term benefits are more than these millions of copyright transfer fees.

Liu Daoyong glanced at Qin Chuan at this time, this young man was not tempted by the immediate interests, he would rather take less money, but also grasp the copyrights in his hands, and even wanted to borrow from Flame Pictures and the movie "Erlang God"!

As long as you become famous, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?

"Our company only needs you the film adaptation rights of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" around the world, as well as the exclusive right to use VCDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and online streaming media. The rest of the copyrights will not be involved, but we can develop them together at that time. ”

Qin Chuan is now in Cao Ying, worried that he will be fooled into signing his name directly, and said: "Now my mind is a little confused, it is better to draft a contract first, and I will go back and discuss with the lawyer and then meet to discuss the specific terms in detail." ”

"Okay, Mr. Qin, you sit down for a while, I'll ask Xiao Yang to print the contract, and add what we just talked about to it with the industry's standard copyright transaction contract template, as for the price, write 8 million first, and then negotiate the price carefully." ”

Liu Daoyong knew that time was tight, but he didn't want to show it, so he didn't have to be asked to raise the price.

Yang Yang had been listening and had memorized a lot of things, so he hurriedly walked out of the office and began to add things to the contract template, and after a while, he clicked and printed it out.

"Teacher Qin, this is a preliminary contract. You can contact me after consulting with a lawyer, and I will take care of the schedule, can you do it?"

Qin Chuan carefully calculated the time, and he had to stay at school during the day next week, "I have to go to work all the time next week, and if I sign the contract, it may take time at night." Can you do it then?"

Originally, there was a shortage of teachers, and if he asked for leave again, two more classes would not be able to attend classes.

Liu Daoyong has no opinion on this.

Overtime in the film and television industry is normal.

"Teacher Qin, your book is almost finished, right? What are you going to write about in your next book?"

If the next book is not bad, you can consider a long-term cooperation.

Film and television companies are desperately buying IP, and the price of an excellent IP in the market is very high, so it is necessary to build a good relationship in advance.

Who knows that Qin Chuan was extremely stunned, "This book is still early, it will only be on the shelves on the first of next month, and at least 700,000 words have not been written." ”

The next book is far away!

Liu Daoyong, who hasn't read much online novels, is completely speechless.

If he knew that many novels of seven million words were not very long, he would probably be surprised that his eyes would have dropped, and how many movies would have to be made to present all the contents!

……

After Qin Chuan got the drafted contract, he walked out of the Flame Pictures building.

Not far away is a young man wearing a mask, he is surrounded by fans and paparazzi, the screams continue, and there are many star chasers running towards this side not far away, as if zombies are attacking the city.

Frightened, Qin Chuan hurriedly stayed away, for fear of being bumped into.

Although he was about to become a rich man, he still saved money and took the subway all the way back.

There are a lot of people who come out to play on weekends, and the subway is crowded, and Qin Chuan can even see the person next to him reading a novel on his mobile phone when he tilts his head slightly.

I wanted to Amway read my book, but I was too ashamed to speak.

When Qin Chuan returned home, it was empty, and Xie Yunmei went to the supermarket with the neighbors in the family home.

He used the computer to leave a message to the editor, the big-faced cat, and explained the copyright issue to the lawyer's needs.

Anyway, Huayue has to take 10% of the copyright fee, and it can't be allowed to take the money directly, so it has to pay some labor.

Sending a lawyer is the most basic, and Qin Chuan even wants the website to give a special recommendation, after all, he can help it earn a million.

Of course, it would be best if the two companies could work together.

However, Qin Chuan felt that it was not very realistic, the company definitely wanted to take 50% of the share, not 10%, and the appetite of large companies was much greater than that of the author.

The matter of copyright trading was put aside for the time being, and Qin Chuan returned his attention to the novel.

Listing is the most important thing!

The sale of the copyright of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" before it was put on the shelves was completely a coincidence.

is obviously famous for abuse, but it just happened to meet the script needs of the film company.

Yang Jian's origin movie just doesn't need the plot later in the novel, so Flame Pictures will buy it in advance.

Otherwise, a newcomer's work will have to wait until it is wonderful before anyone asks.

The publishing company asked for only the publication agent, not to buy the publishing rights.

Both have different concepts and meanings.

If the contract can be signed smoothly, it means that Blaze Pictures will use its long-standing reputation to guarantee "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", and the rest of the companies will not hesitate at all.

They are like vultures looking for food, and when they see a piece of meat, they immediately pounce on them!

"I don't know how much of these royalties can end up in my pocket, but I will be charged 10%, some personal income tax, and it seems that there is still some difference in buying a house. ”

Star City is an international metropolis, a political, economic and cultural center, with a permanent population of tens of millions, and housing prices are second to none in the country.

If you want to buy a house close to work, it's not enough to just have the right to adapt the movie.

That's why Qin Chuan wanted to take advantage of the situation to sell the rest of the copyrights.

Earning a suite for a book is considered a top writer!
