Chapter 154: Getting Rich Overnight [Four More Requests for Subscription]

Zhou Kang patted his face, and the picture of Zhang Chu's new work being criticized by the judges for being incomplete, already appeared in his head.

"Can't you really change the genre? Short stories are very good!" Zhou Kang said earnestly: "Now that you are already a little famous, if the quality of the new work is not good, not only within your school, but also in the media, the commercial value will be greatly reduced." ”

Zhang Chu said with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle Zhou, the two armies are fighting, but you are suppressing the morale on your side." Once I've written it, you'll know what it's about. ”

Zhou Kang is just a literary agent, he relies on Zhang Chu, and he can't control the signed artists like other agents, after all, it's only a temporary cooperation now.

"Okay, okay, you can do it yourself, if you need me to help with public relations, just say it. ”

Oscar-winning actors and actresses are all public relations, although Zhou Kang has not done public relations for literary works, but thinking about the same reason, he still hopes that Zhang Chu can come up with high-quality works.

After the two said goodbye, they hung up the phone, and Zhang Chu hurried to start entering the system, and he needed to read the borrowed books through 10 times the time flow rate of the system.

These books can be searched in the system, and there is no need to flip through the physical ones, saving a lot of time!

The teachings of Christianity, Hinduism, and Yislan are slowly being understood, and although this acceleration function is quite consuming prestige, it is definitely worth the money.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Chu was woken up by the alarm clock, and there was no class this morning, so he happened to go to Menglong Culture Media Co., Ltd. to sign the contract.

Last night, he spent more than 30 hours in the system reading books, and a few hours in between to rest and relax his eyes and mind, and now he has almost understood the content of "Life of Pi".

Of course, it is difficult to reproduce the thinking of the original author, but it is much better than knowing nothing, he has already arranged the time, and when he signs the contract, he will go home and write.

Changed into a more formal outfit and called a car on his mobile phone to pick up people at the gate of the community, Zhang Chu didn't want to ride a bicycle across the city, so he was probably exhausted.

Yanjing is a little congested in the morning, and the streets on the map navigation are all red, representing the unimpeded green almost nowhere to be seen!

After coming to Menglong Company, Zhang Chu immediately found that the staff here had basically arrived, especially the employees of the legal department who had almost slept all night studying the final contract content.

Only after they have confirmed that it is done can they sign, so as not to leave all kinds of risks behind.

"BBC TV representatives have arrived and they want to sign the contract as soon as possible. Zhou Kang whispered in Zhang Chu's ear that 10% of the copyright fee given to Zhang Chu by the BBC belongs to himself and the company, which is not a small number, and he is naturally very concerned.

Zhang Chu nodded, he knew that the BBC spent a lot of money to buy back the copyright must be seriously created, and he really wanted to see Juan Fu and Watson appear on the TV screen.

The next time was like a robot, the two parties signed a contract under the witness of a lawyer, and Zhang Chu also got three film and television copyright authorization agreements, which are just exclusive authorizations, not sales.

Zhang Chu signed a pre-tax agreement with the BBC, and signed an after-tax agreement with Xu Ji's director studio and Huace Film and Television.

That is to say, no matter how much tax is generated, Zhang Chu does not have to pay, he has to make the two companies responsible, and he must get a tax payment certificate to finish.

However, when the work has not yet been released, he can only get 50% of the relevant fees, and wait until the film or TV series is produced to get the remaining 25%, and only after the final release and broadcast can he get the final 25%, which is divided into three payments.

In other words, he can only get 500,000 yuan from Director Xu Ji's studio and 3 million yuan from Huace Film and Television, and Menglong Culture Media has to take 10% from it, and in the end, Zhang Chu can only have 3.15 million yuan in his hands!

Fortunately, the BBC paid the copyright fee in a lump sum, and the screenwriter's fee will not be paid for the time being, and the money can only be obtained after the script of "Sherlock" is approved.

2 million pounds is almost 17 million yuan, this is the advantage of the currency!

It's a pity that he still has to pay 20% of the tax, and the rest is only 13.6 million yuan, and then 1.36 million yuan was siphoned off by Menglong Culture Media Co., Ltd., and Zhang Chu can finally get 12.24 million.

It seems that there is a big gap missing, but Zhang Chu is already very satisfied, if there is no professional help, maybe he will sell these copyrights at a lower price, where can he become a quasi-multimillionaire!

Together, the three copyrights can bring Zhang Chu 15 million yuan in income, most of which are provided by foreign television stations.

"No wonder those authors want to sell their copyrights one by one, it turns out that copyrights are so profitable!"

After Zhang Chu calculated the money he could get in his head, the whole person became as excited as a little hillbilly.

Although it can't be compared with those bigwigs who are tens of millions at every turn, their advantage is that they can export!

Even if the domestic copyright is low, after selling to foreign buyers, the foreign exchange earned back is much more valuable than the yuan, and now Zhang Chu is considering whether to exchange these pounds for yuan or continue to hold them.

In case the exchange rate falls, these pounds may not be worth that much money, but what if the exchange rate rises!

People always have to have dreams, otherwise how do you know that they can't be realized.

Those two physical books have worked hard to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, and they are not as good as casually selling a copyright.

This money not only doubled Zhang Chu's net worth, but also became rich overnight!

He became a multimillionaire within a few days, and Zhang Chu had already begun to figure out how he should use the money.

……

Just after signing the contract, Menglong Culture Media Co., Ltd., Xu Ji's director studio, Huace Film and Television, and BBC TV couldn't wait to reveal the news.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, it needs a certain amount of heat, and it is a waste if you don't make good use of the signing news.

As a result, news began to appear in various news media, and Zhang Chu, as a party concerned, also gained popularity by the way.

"The latest information: Zhang Chu's work "Psychological Crime" has signed a contract with Director Xu Ji's studio, and directed by Xu Ji, who has created many classic crime suspense movies such as "The Burning Sun", will invite domestic first-line male stars to star, and the lineup is worth looking forward to!"

"The BBC official website wrote that "Sherlock" will be written by Zhang Chu, the author of the original book, to create a modern Sherlock Holmes!"

"The dust has settled!" Zhang Chu's fanfic "Sherlock" landed on BBC TV with a seven-figure transaction fee!"

"The group photo is released, there will be a place for Zhang Chu on this year's rich list of writers!"

"Huace Film and Television Weibo officially announced that the TV series version of "Psychological Crime" was officially approved!"

"The chaotic copyright battle has come to an end, and Zhang Chu has become the biggest winner!"

"There is a golden house in the book, and the three copyright fees have accumulated more than 10 million, and Zhang Chu has completed the leap in a few months!"
