Chapter 105: Because of Your Father
"I'm sorry if I can't be part of the screenplay, but I don't have much expectation for the adaptation. ”
Arriving in Donghai City, Qi Yu went directly to the headquarters building of China Literature Group and met one of the copyright buyers who was already waiting here.
After looking at the relevant contracts, Qi Yu put forward his own opinions and said: "It's not that I don't trust your company's professional screenwriters, but I have a deeper understanding of my works. In the process of creation, I know very well which of the content is the real reason why 300,000 readers choose to subscribe to the genuine version. ”
It seems to be soft and hard.
Qi Yu's words made Tang Li, the representative of Orange Light Entertainment, laugh.
"Mr. Qi. Tang Li said: "We know very well that there are a lot of shining points in your works, and it is precisely because of this that we can't wait to get the full authorization of the IP adaptation." But I need to remind you that novels are very different from anime, TV series, and even games in many ways. ”
"Our company's screenwriters are all well-known in the industry, just like our Orange Light Entertainment, they are also among the best in the entire Huayu. Just talking about TV dramas, in the past year, two of the top 10 TV dramas in terms of ratings and top 10 Internet hits were produced by our company. ”
"So, our professionalism is unquestionable, just like your professionalism on the web. ”
It seems to be touted, but it is really beaten.
Tang Li also summed up with soft and hard words: "We don't mind Mr. Qi Yu becoming our screenwriter consultant, but directly involved in the work of screenwriters, I'm sorry, we don't distrust Mr. Qi Yu, but every company has its own process system and way of operation." ”
Qi Yu frowned slightly.
Tang Li's answer was much better than he expected, both in terms of attitude and words.
Because Orange Light Entertainment is really a big company, otherwise, it would not be possible to pay a ten-year license fee of 30 million for the full copyright.
But about the adaptation of the work, especially the adaptation of the novel "Jiang Ye", Qi Yu really values it.
If it was "In the Snow", who had never filmed a TV series before he crossed over, he might not be so insistent.
But "Jiang Ye" was not only made into a TV series, but also had a good reputation.
"Ms. Tang Li. ”
Qi Yu didn't want to smash his reputation, and said: "You see if this will work, I will help your company produce a set of scripts for free, and even storyboard scripts are no problem." Then, a professional from your company will take a look and if it is a good fit, how about we sign up again?"
Kindness?
Tang Li was stunned.
She is also well-informed, especially in the adaptation authorization of online articles or physical novels, I don't know how many authors I have seen.
Among them, there are many more famous than Qi Yu.
However, none of them had the confidence of Qi Yu to dare to put forward such an idea.
Screenwriting is very different from writing a novel.
It can even be said that 99% of authors do not know how to write a screenplay.
"Is it because of the screenwriting major you're studying?"
Tang Li suddenly thought of Qi Yu's profile, a freshman majoring in choreography and directing at the 41st level of the 22nd Xincheng Art Academy.
"In principle, we have no problem, and we also need to thank Mr. Qi Yu for his support to our work. Tang Li said: "But has Mr. Qi Yu considered a problem, that is, the popularity of the novel "Jiang Ye", at most half a month, the popularity of this novel will drop a lot, if you can't complete the signing within half a month, the popularity will be transformed into our company, and the related character selection...... Then the value of this novel may have to be discounted. ”
A novel that took only two weeks to create, with sales of 30 million credibility points in three days, and a summary half a month later, it is very likely to break through 40 million.
After all, there was no piracy of this novel in a short period of time.
In other words, it is 40 million a month to create a value, plus the full copyright authorization fee, 70 million value, no matter how much the author can share, it can become an extremely hot news.
Popularity represents the number of eye-catchers.
It is also a guarantee of click-through rates, ratings, and the number of users of the game after being adapted into a TV series, anime, etc.
Qi Yu laughed and asked, "What if I can finish the script within a week?"
Tang Li only then remembered that it only took Qi Yu two weeks to finish writing this novel.
In terms of speed, no one can beat it on the whole network.
"If it's a week, we're fine. Tang Li said: "But if the script you create does not meet our company's production standards, then I hope that Mr. Qi Yu can also think more about it during this week." ”
This concludes the negotiations.
Both sides are straightforward and don't go around so many circles.
And similar negotiations, Qi Yu has conducted a total of three times, and the three companies he faced are basically at the same level as Orange Light Entertainment, even if it is not much worse.
After wasting an afternoon, Qi Yu signed another platinum contract and finally left the headquarters building of China Literature.
"When I'm done the day after tomorrow, I'll invite a few more bosses to drink. ”
The editor-in-charge, editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief and others also all knew what Qi Yu was going to do, and immediately talked about the scene that I didn't know if it was a scene.
"Rest assured, we will definitely support you, and not only that, but we will also mobilize other writers in our company to advertise for you. ”
Qi Yu was really happy to hear this.
Don't look at his current collection of two books that has exceeded one million, but there are still many online novel lovers who have not read his novels, or do not like to read his novels.
Turnip greens have their own love, and the same applies to the platinum god.
Without mentioning some thanks, Qi Yuyou, Ding Lisi, and the company's lawyer rushed to the studio.
When signing the contract, Ding Lisi, as his agent, and the company's lawyer must be there.
"In other words, when "In the Snow" is finished, you will be able to complete the gambling agreement between us?"
In the car, Ding Lisi asked in a somewhat strange tone.
The quotations of the three companies are not lower than 30 million, and the sales of "Jiang Ye" have also exceeded 30 million in the past few days.
Even if Qi Yu can only take half of it, and he needs to pay taxes, then he counts the manuscript fee when he collects more "In the Snow", and the copyright fee that is destined to be sold.
100 million, it's really not difficult.
Qi Yu calculated a little in his heart and said: "Not necessarily, the copyright fee of "In the Snow" is definitely not worse than "Jiang Ye", but in terms of manuscript fees, because "In the Snow" has pirated versions, it may not be as good as "Jiang Ye". ”
"But ......"
Ding Lisi's breath was tight, and she couldn't be afraid of anything.
"But after "In the Snow", I will continue to open new books, and the results should not be worse than "In the Snow", plus the few songs I have already posted, and the few songs that may be released in this competition, at the end of the year...... It should be fine. ”
At the end of the year?
Of course, this end is not the end of the Gregorian calendar, after all, it is already November.
But even at the end of the lunar calendar, it will only be more than two months?
So, after more than two months, is he going to part ways with Qi Yu?
It seemed that he sensed that Ding Lisi's emotions were not the right source, Qi Yu smiled: "What do you want? Don't worry, in our gambling agreement, there is also to help you become famous, even if you earn 100 million, if you don't help you become truly famous for a day, I won't ask for the ownership of the company." ”
"Besides, even if the VAM agreement is completed, I also said that I want to give you equity. I can't make you famous, but you won't help me make money, right......?"
Ding Lisi also echoed and laughed twice, but deep down, she was even more sad.
It turns out that just to complete the agreement, just so that I can help earn money?
Qi Yu didn't know what Ding Lisi really thought in her heart, if she knew, she would definitely say: No, not because of these, but because of your father, because of "King Kong Que".
