To create such a work in an all-round way that does not know the true appearance, Zhang Chu doesn't know how to evaluate the leaders of those companies, should he praise them for their foresight, or do they believe in themselves a little too much?

With just a book title, a subject introduction, and a preface of a few hundred words, he granted the copyright to this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which is really unbelievable.

"I finally understand why there were rumors in my previous life that a certain great god alone earned millions from Perfect World. I'm pretty much at that level now, right?"

Zhang Chu laughed at himself and said that there is still a gap between the number of readers he has now and the top Internet gods, one physical book and one network, and the focus of the two fields is different.

The works of the top Internet gods have also been published, and the popularity can spread from the Internet to the physical field.

This is also why on the Rich Writers List every year, the income of online writers is generally higher than that of physical book writers, they write a lot, and they can adapt a lot, especially in the field of games.

Who can expect a Life of Pi adaptation into a game?

Fantasy and Xianxia are originally a bit like upgrading maps, all kinds of quest clues, and all kinds of maps are naturally available, and it is much easier to adapt!

At present, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" seems to have such conditions, the Internet is serialized in magazines, audiobooks are synchronized, and comics and radio are just one game company away.

However, game companies value the influence of the work, and what they need is the name, and now "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is still in the cradle, of course, no one wants to throw money into it.

Only after it becomes popular will there be local tyrants who will throw money over, after all, most of the game developers are rich owners!

……

I don't know how much alcohol the people of Menglong Culture Media drank with the leaders of those cooperative companies, and where they did it, until the afternoon of the next day, Zhou Kang told Zhang Chu the content of the negotiation.

Even he was worried that Zhang Chu would not understand, so he went to the campus of Yan University to explain, which was from three o'clock in the afternoon until the bell rang after five o'clock.

Zhou Kang, who was in an excited state, went directly to a Western restaurant outside the school with Zhang Chu, and chatted while eating.

"Our legal staff are going crazy, and we have to prepare six contracts in one go, but Mr. Wu specifically promised that after you officially sign this order, you will give us bonuses and benefits!"

Zhang Chu took a sip of water, and while waiting for the food to be served, he asked, "Didn't you come here to explain the various terms to me?"

Zhou Kang took out a stack of papers from the bag, these are rough contracts, not the final version, "This is the agreement of the origin Chinese network, they will take the method of buying out at a high price to obtain the serial rights of "Ghost Blowing Lantern Essence Ancient City". Note that this is only a serial right, and it is signed once for each part, not a whole set of books in one go. ”

Of course, they also have to wait for the price to sell, the first part of the book must be a little lower when it has not been tested by the market, and rashly signing the whole book will definitely cause disputes in the later stage.

Zhang Chu asked puzzledly: "What does this serial right mean?"

"It's very simple, that is, when the network is serialized, it can only be exclusively published on the origin Chinese website. However, after the physical book of the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House comes out, it can be published on all online channels that can sell e-books in the form of e-books. ”

"That is to say, they bought a time difference?" Zhang Chu understood it, "The price of this 3 million should still be quite high, how can the origin Chinese network give such good conditions?"

The price of 3 million is really not low for a 200,000-word work, after all, what they are discussing here is not the complete works of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but "The Essence of the Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

The price is secondary, and the way of signing one piece is quite harsh in Zhang Chu's opinion, but people just agreed to it.

There will be no pie in the sky, and the origin of Chinese Network can achieve the leading position in the online literature industry is not made by doing charity.

So Zhou Kang said with disdain at this time: "People bought "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for 3 million yuan, even if you don't sign a contract with them later, their goal has been achieved." They can create a whole new category, make the subject bigger and stronger, and it can be regarded as the most orthodox tomb robbery. ”

"There are so many popular works on the Internet, and there is no shortage of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". They want to prosper the entire horror and suspense category, attract more talented authors to join in writing about this genre, and buy horse bones. ”

Zhang Chu suddenly realized, it seems that the origin of Chinese Network has connected so many companies together in order to help them advertise their orthodox status!

This is a new theme developed by Zhang Chu, the originator of tomb robbing, and at the same time, he also borrowed other companies to expand the influence of tomb robbing, and this only needs 3 million yuan.

It's not just about advertising on the TV, they're the biggest winners!

Origin Chinese Network doesn't mind if "Ghost Blows the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City" can earn back the 3 million yuan, what they need is follow-up influence.

Leave this part of the readers who like tomb robbery and horror and suspense, and attract the rest of the authors who are good at writing this style, if the whole classification is up, I don't know how much 3 million the income will generate!

"Sure enough, none of the merchants are simple. Zhang Chu muttered to himself, he still thought that others were fools.

Zhou Kang just smiled, and he continued: "Yanjing Radio Station directly cooperated with Himalaya FM, they bought the audio copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and first broadcast it on the radio station by the announcer in the "Late Night Ghost Story" column, and after the program was broadcast, the audio of this episode of the program was placed on Himalaya. ”

Professional equipment, professional announcers, this is a priceless invisible wealth, an experienced ghost story announcer can amplify the fear and have a greater contagion!

As for the comics, the progress may be a little slower, even if Zhang Chu can hand over the follow-up content to the artist first, but at most it will be one issue a week, and it is impossible to update a chapter every day like serialization.

As for the conditions given by the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House, the conditions are very superior, 15% of the royalties plus 5 million prepaid remuneration, as long as you sign a contract, you can get the 5 million!

Then the rest of the money will be taken after the manuscript fee he has distributed exceeds 5 million, which can be seen the arrogance of the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House.

Although they have lost some of it, the content of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can already be seen and heard on the Internet, magazines, and radio, and it is estimated that some readers will not buy physical books anymore.

But it also got a lot of things, such as these channels helped it open up its popularity, greatly expanded the influence of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and expanded the entire market.

If the previous market was a pool, then at least the market after it should be a lake, or even an ocean!

If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing, and it's the right thing to do if you give up the small profits in front of you and look to the future.

Nanhai Publishing Company is too limited, staring at the small profits, and does not want "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be seen by the audience before it is published, so they will be out of this competition!

Win-win cooperation is king!
