Mo Bai naturally knows that in the eyes of others, Journey to the West cannot be regarded as a masterpiece.

But it doesn't matter.

It's hard to get people to accept it all at once.

However, Mo Bai had already thought of a fairly good publishing plan.

"I am Mo Bai, the author of Journey to the West, and now I officially authorize the copyright of Journey to the West to any publishing house in China......"

Generally, a publisher will only contract with one publishing house.

However, now for Mo Bai, a publishing house is far from being able to spread Journey to the West to thousands of households.

Although he knew that such a license might not be accepted by some large publishing companies. There are even jokes, but it doesn't matter if it's not in vain. He believes that as soon as Journey to the West is sold, no matter how big the publishing house is, it will follow up.

In fact, it is.

When Mo Bai announced the authorization on Weibo, countless domestic publishing companies were in an uproar.

"Is that Mo Bai stupid, authorizing all publishing companies in China, who is he?"

"This kind of authorization, a ghost publishing company will take it. ”

"After I publish it, other publishers also publish it, isn't it obvious that I am competing with everyone in the country?"

"This guy is insane, and he still really thinks of himself as a masterpiece. ”

A group of publishers complained from time to time.

"What a masterpiece of the world, people now regard the Journey to the West written by themselves as a masterpiece. ”

"Masterpieces?"

"Yes, it's not just a masterpiece, it's also at the level of the four famous books. ”

"Is this guy crazy?"

"I think so, too. ”

Treating Journey to the West as a masterpiece may be okay.

After all, after so many years, such a strange and strange work has been produced, which can be regarded as a masterpiece of the world.

However, if Journey to the West is regarded as a masterpiece, it is not acceptable to ordinary people.

Not to mention, the four famous books.

Any famous work, without a few hundred years, is not qualified to be called a masterpiece.

The four masterpieces are the pinnacle of the Chinese border, and they are the highest existence of Chinese culture and art.

No matter how well written Journey to the West is, it cannot be at the same level as the four famous novels.

It's just that, compared with these large publishing houses, some small publishing houses seem to be extremely unexpected.

"Good news, good news, everyone, Mo Bai has granted the copyright of Journey to the West to all publishing companies in China. ”

"In other words, we can also publish, as long as we pay the royalties to Mo Bai at that time. ”

Perhaps it can't be described as an accident, but it is more appropriate to use an opportunity. Generally, it is basically difficult for small publishing houses to receive some famous works and some well-known writers, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with small publishing houses, and they can only sign contracts with some unknown small authors at most. The asymmetry of resources has always made it impossible for these small publishing houses to grow bigger.

"Don't be so excited, you have to know that there are dozens of large publishing houses that refuse to publish Journey to the West. ”

"Isn't this our chance?"

"You're so optimistic about Journey to the West?"

"Of course...... I am a reader of Journey to the West, from the first chapter of Journey to the West to the end now, I believe that this is definitely a masterpiece. ”

"Masterpiece, is it still at the level of a masterpiece?"

"In terms of time, it may not reach the masterpiece, but in terms of artistic value, I think it has already been exceeded. Of course, I know that many people may not be able to accept it at once, but I really feel that Journey to the West is better than the four famous novels. Therefore, I have decided that our publishing house will do its best to take over the publishing task of Journey to the West, and publish as many copies as we can......"

"You're crazy, what if the book you publish can't be sold at that time, and some other publishing houses are very speechless about this way of authorizing everyone, but Journey to the West is not bad, each will publish hundreds of thousands of copies, so many publishing houses together, the number is also large, you publish so many at once, it is equivalent to looking for death. ”

"No, no, no...... If this is really a masterpiece, I think the more copies it can publish, the better. And, I think, now is our best chance. Those large publishing houses haven't reacted yet, and if we don't seize this opportunity now, when they really discover the value of Journey to the West, we will be too late. ”

"You're really decided?"

"Yes. What about you...... Together?"

"Give me a day, I'll finish reading Journey to the West. ”

A day later.

Hundreds of small publishing houses made a decision together.

……

Starting point.

"Mo Baiju, people from various film and television companies, comic companies, and game companies have come to consult, how to sell the copyright of your Journey to the West?"

The starting point editor Bohan said excitedly to Mo Bai.

"Well, I'm going to think about it......"

In fact, the four famous works of the previous life have no copyright.

Hundreds of years of works, if you want to give the copyright, you can't give it to anyone.

However, when I came to this world, Journey to the West, one of the four famous novels, really has a copyright.

However, this also made it difficult for Mo Bai.

How much should he sell for a work in the realm of the four famous novels?

There was no precedent for this in a previous life.

Even in this world, no one has ever sold it.

Sold less, sorry for the fame of Journey to the West.

It's sold a lot, these guys, not to mention whether they will buy it, maybe they can't afford it either.

"Bo Khanju, comics, games, let's not talk about it, film and television, what do you think is the copyright fee for Journey to the West?"

Mo Bai asked about Bo Khan.

"We are also making estimates about this, and it should be able to sell for 100 million. ”

Speaking of 100 million, Bohan also sighed.

100 million.

There is really no one in Huaguo who has sold a copyright fee of 100 million.

If this really sells 100 million, I am afraid it will be another national sensation.

It's just that, compared to Bohan's excitement, Mo Bai shook his head: "This, it's only 100 million." ”

Mo Bai was about to cry.

Journey to the West only sold for 100 million, I don't know if Mr. Wu Chengen will jump out of the coffin board and scold himself to death.

"Mo Baiju, you use this talent word so well, 100 million is already the most awesome record in Huaguo, what else do you want?"

"Forget it, forget it, 100 million is too little, don't sell it. ”

Outright rejection.

Although Mo Bai is not short of money, it is impossible to sell the film and television rights of Journey to the West for 100 million.

"Then Mo Baiju, how much do you want to sell?"

"It's not much, 10 billion. ”

"100000000000 ......"

I'm ......

Bohan almost cried: "10 billion is not much?"

"What's more, to be honest, in fact, I'm reluctant to sell 10 billion?"

Although Journey to the West did not have copyright in the previous life, anyone could shoot it.

However, if you really want to say that the copyright of Journey to the West is definitely a sky-high price.

10 billion Mo Bai have some feel less.

As for what is the real copyright value of Journey to the West, to be honest, Mo Bai doesn't have this concept.

I had to casually say the price of 1 billion.

"Oh my God...... Mo Baiju, you really want to sell 1 billion. ”

"Yes. ”

"Nothing less?"

"You can only more, not less. ”

"Well, I'll relay your words to them. However, don't get your hopes up, 1 billion is too big, even if they are willing to buy it, they can't afford it. ”

"Okay, if I can't afford it, I'll shoot it myself. ”

Nodding, Mo Bai said.
