Chapter 173: Simplified Copyright Sale!

Yang Fan felt a sense of sadness inexplicably, not only for Li Ming's affairs, but also for the entire ancient capital radio station.

Yang Fan sighed, "I didn't expect that guy to wilt so quickly, what about the other colleagues of our frequency?"

Huang Yu's voice was also a little lonely, "When I handed in my resignation letter today, I saw that Mr. Liu Yan's desk was empty, Sister Zhang also left a few days ago, and that guy Li Ming, I listened to the tone of his talk to me, and I probably didn't want to do it here, after all, the current station is too chaotic!"

Yang Fan sighed before hanging up the phone.

I do have some emotion in my heart, but the top priority now is to sell the copyright of the tomb robbery notes as soon as possible.

Huang Yu sent the phone number, Yang Fan called directly, but there was a busy signal, Yang Fan called several times in a row, and it was not until the last call that he got through.

"Hello, this is the Imperial Capital Publishing House, who are you?" came a middle-aged man's voice over there, but the place was very noisy, and it was probably in the publishing house.

Yang Fan restrained his emotions and said calmly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I am Yang Fan, the author of "Notes on Tomb Robbery". I heard from a friend that your publishing house wants to buy the copyright, right?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, "Oh, our company has this intention, but how do you prove that you are the original author of "Notes on Tomb Robbery"?"

Yang Fan directly added his WeChat and sent his Weibo homepage, and the other party believed it.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Yang Fan. We admire your name very much, that book sold 600 million, but it is a model in our industry!"

He said with a grin, but Yang Fan knew the deep meaning of this guy's words. You're so rich, why are you selling the rights to this book?

Yang Fan was not polite, and said shamelessly: "You are right, I am not short of money, but I promised my book fans and listeners that I would publish this book for them. ”

Of course, the other side knows all kinds of information about Yang Fan, and there are some guesses in his heart, but since he can come over to sell copyrights, no matter what kind of purpose he holds, it will be beneficial to them and no harm.

"Oh, I see. It seems that Mr. Yang is still a good star who respects fans!" The other party praised him without being salty, but Yang Fan accepted it gladly.

"So, I don't know if the copyright of your book is in your own hands or in your radio station?"

He knew that Yang Fan's book had been broadcast on the Gudu Radio, if this guy had signed some agreement with the station a long time ago, and he hastily agreed with Yang Fan's enterprise, what kind of losses would he have caused in the end, and a small employee like him would not be able to afford it in his life.

Yang Fan was of course prepared, when he decided to take out his tomb robbery notes on the radio, he had already asked Li Tianrui to apply for intellectual property protection, and he still went through the internal channel, and it took more than a month for the intellectual property certificate to come down.

Yang Fan opened a video and let the other party take a look at his procedures, which is also to protect his book, otherwise if the other party leaves any handles, or uploads it to the Internet, it will not be good for him.

"That's really good, don't hide it from Mr. Yang Fan, you said, our Imperial Capital Publishing House, although it has always been a political book, compared with other commercial publishing houses, there may be some deficiencies in machinery and equipment, but how can we say that there are also state-owned enterprises behind it, although we can't guarantee that your book will be restored back to the original, but it can also be restored, and it is guaranteed not to make you embarrassed in front of fans." ”

Yang Fan smiled on the other side of the phone, thinking that this person was quite funny, "Then you will be tired!"

reached the initial intention, and the staff on that side was also difficult to hide his feelings, and said with some joy: "On the side of our publishing house, there are generally two models, one is to share according to the share of sales, and the other is to buy out directly, I don't know which one you choose?"

This sentence is actually nonsense, Yang Fan has no shortage of that kind of quick money, besides, he is very confident in his book, of course, he will choose the sales share without hesitation.

But he still wanted to hear the other party's opinion, and by the way, try this publishing house and what kind of attitude it has towards the author.

The staff over there said very professionally: "If this book is a buyout share, our company can open a price of 8 million, of course, you must also know that this price is already a lot, after all, the development of online literature is also very limited, and suspense thriller is not like fantasy novels, its own audience is also very limited, so our company has actually taken a big risk by offering such a high price." ”

Yang Fan also understands very well, although he said that his tomb robbery notes are novels of the founding sect, but this group is very limited after all, and now it seems that the market is booming, but who knows when it will wither.

Hearing that Yang Fanbei didn't speak, the staff over there were slightly disappointed, you know, the editor-in-chief had repeatedly ordered them to mobilize, saying that if they could win over the tomb robbery notes and change them to a buyout contract, they would be able to get at least 5% But as an employee of a large publishing house, he also knows very well that Yang Fan is not short of money at all, selling copyrights at this time, one is to publish novels and give back to book fans, and secondly, think of him now just four lines, but he has not been able to find a job, he has a number in his heart, which is obviously a means to increase exposure.

Thinking of this, he said again: "If it is a royalty share, this will have to go through sales, but there may be some risks! Our share here is 15%, and you don't need to take care of all matters related to publishing, you just need to take out the copyright of the book." ”

This division is acceptable to Yang Fan. But you know how to bargain when you go out to buy vegetables, at this time, of course, Yang Fan also has to ask for a few words, after all, it's all money, don't want it in vain.

"Brother, you're not kind, I'm in this book, not to say how good it is, but at least it's the only one in the world, and the prospect is definitely not to be said, so you give me 15% of the share, isn't it too much?"

"Mr. Yang Fan, I think you may have misunderstood, you go out and inquire, as long as anyone can exceed our share, how much will they add? ”

He is indeed very confident that this time the leader has made a big move, because the income of the publishing house was relatively good last year, so he can make such a big effort.

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, and then followed the other party's example, pretending to be professional and said: "You know, I used to write online novels, look at these current thriller and suspense novels, they are basically written according to my way, and people are also making a lot of money, I must be guaranteed, brother, you are in this business, you should know better than me, after all, my works have withstood the test of the market." ”

The man hesitated for a moment, and then said again: "But the audiobook of your book was broadcast once on the ancient capital radio, and the effect must be greatly reduced." ”

"How can it be the same, at the beginning, few people listened, and in the middle of the year, people listened, and most of them missed the front, and this time it is just right for you to make money. ”

The two of them talked back and forth, and after grinding for half an hour, Yang Fan finally got three more points.

However, people also have a request, that is, to combine all these short and long fairy tales he wrote, and they want to publish a picture album of fairy tales.

Yang Fan also knew what the other party meant, after all, this was a champion fairy tale decided by the Education Bureau, which could make their Imperial Capital Publishing House rise to the limelight. For Yang Fan, these things are tasteless and a pity to discard.

Yang Fan simply sold it directly, but he didn't use that kind of share for this copyright, but directly took two million, the price was neither high nor low, and the two of them didn't blush here for the money.

At the end of the matter, Yang Fan suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly said: "That, the copyright of my fairy tales and novels does not include overseas copyright!"

The other party smiled awkwardly and immediately responded. They are not the Central Publishing House, so how can they have so much energy to publish abroad?

"Then Mr. Yang, I wish us a happy cooperation first. However, I also have something to discuss here. Because I'm also a listener of tomb robbery notes, this novel ended a few days ago, and I thought I couldn't hear it in front of me, but I didn't expect that the ancient capital radio station would start to replay it again, although I really want to know the content, but we're doing this job, and you have to understand. Besides, haven't you already resigned from the radio station? So that's what we think, for the sake of both of us, we are going to take some measures to make the Gudu Radio station ban the rebroadcast of the broadcast, Mr. Yang Fan has no opinion, right?"

Yang Fan only remembered this stubble now, so he hurriedly said: "Mutually beneficial and win-win things, of course there is no problem, and you can rest assured, the audio copyright of this book is in my hands, as long as you don't harm my rights and interests, I have nothing to say." ”

Yang Fan's attitude was already so clear, and the other party had nothing to say, the two discussed a time to sign a contract, and hung up the phone.

This kind of sharing model, Yang Fan has tried it before, but there is a feeling of repeated trials.

The novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is really not covered, Yang Fan has really read his derivative version, and he has strong confidence in this novel in his heart.

Besides, he just sold a simplified copyright, traditional copyright, movie copyright, TV series copyright, game copyright, etc., as long as the book is popular enough, the benefits that can be generated are great, Yang Fan is deeply aware of it.

The other party was also very fast, and the contract was drawn up in half an hour, and then the colleagues of the Ancient Capital Branch of the Imperial Capital Publishing House came directly to the door, and the two of them discussed the details of the contract again, and signed the contract that night.

For the high efficiency of this publishing house, Yang Fan couldn't help but secretly speak, worthy of being a high-end talent, people like us are simply out of reach.

The next day, in the morning.

It was raining lightly outside the house, and Deputy Director Wu was smoking a cigarette and playing with the jade ring in his hand, feeling very comfortable for a while.

With a bang, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a small leader walked in recklessly, and just wanted to speak, he heard Deputy Director Wu say with a smile: "How did I teach you, so that you want Mount Tai to collapse in front of you and not change your face, do you know it?"

The little leader was scolded by the director, but he hurriedly said, "Oh no, Director Lu." Early this morning, we received a lawyer's letter from the Imperial Capital Publishing House, saying that we had infringed on the copyright of their "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and asked us to end the infringement quickly, otherwise we will go to the court to sue us. ”

Deputy Director Wu swooped, jumped up from his seat, and slapped the table hard.

This is our program on the Radio Station in the Ancient Capital, and they have actually sued us for infringement, this is obviously our program, are they pumping their brains?"

The little leader was also very helpless, but he still stubbornly said: "But, this ...... This novel is indeed the private property of that Yang Fan, and he did not give our company a written authorization, in this case, it will be difficult for us to file a lawsuit, and if we do, we will definitely lose!

"What? What the hell is this Xiao Yang going to do, doesn't he feel sorry for the show he created single-handedly?

The little leader on the side rolled his eyes and said in his heart, "Are you sophisticated in your personal feelings?" In order to get promoted and make a fortune, you should use other people's achievements to curry favor with the leaders. In the end, he was exposed, and he jumped over the wall in a hurry, and blocked Xiao Yang in front of the entire industry, but now he is talking about human sophistication with others, isn't this too shameless?

Deputy Director Lu's teeth itched, but he really couldn't do anything. Let's not talk about the fact that the publishing industry and the broadcasting industry can't get along.

Let's just say that the Imperial Capital Publishing House has a background in the capital, and they can't afford to provoke the ancient capital radio station.
