Fiction writers, or rather, people who live on words, fall into three main types. One is that they have a very unclear understanding of the value of their own works, and basically sell them when they give money for film and television adaptation rights; the second is that they have a clear understanding of the value and market of their works, and will negotiate within a reasonable range; and the third is the kind that is whimsical, vainly trying to sell a work, and then you can buy a house in the third ring road of Beijing.

People like Mu Ming, who buy copyrights, are naturally the ones who like to sell for money, but it's a pity that the output of such an honest child is too low, and it is obviously not enough in recent years. So relatively speaking, the second type of author is still a good choice.

However, the facts tell us that often the third type is the most numerous. Especially for some newcomers who have become famous with one book, their quotations always have a kind of magicalism.

"Actually, these authors gave me an outrageous offer, and I can understand it somewhat, after all, they probably don't know what the average of the market is. Gao Yubing said indignantly: "The key is that the copyright operation departments of some reading websites and publishing companies, they know the market situation best, but they also have no bottom line, what should we do?"

"Why are you so angry? Mu Ming said strangely: "The sky is asking for a price, and the money is paid back on the ground." They don't call a high price, so how can they let you bargain. By the way, you said last time that you had two books to talk about, how did it turn out?"

"Oh, I was trying to tell you. Gao Yubing sorted out his mood and poured: "I didn't talk about "To Youth" I told you last time, and it was signed by others. And then there is a "Flower Thousand Bone", which was signed, but it was 15% higher than the estimated price you gave. ”

In addition, Class A works also bought a "Langya Bang", and then, Class B works bought "Shanshan to Eat", "Battle of Changsha", "Psychological Crime" and "The Promotion of the Crown Princess"; We haven't had time to pay attention to C-class works, and for the time being, there is only one "Good Man of the Tang Dynasty" to talk about, but there is no intention of selling copyrights on Dianniang's side. With the addition of the previous three, a total of eight works have been bought. ”

In Mu Ming's list for Gao Yubing, all the works are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Category A refers to the big IP with strong influence;Category B is the most cost-effective part of the works,It is also part of Mu Ming's main efforts;Category C is the less important part, not much bought, not a lot of it.

Along with the classified list, there is also Mu Ming's floating budget price according to the current market considerations. After all, when they negotiate contracts, they still have to have a certain degree of freedom.

"Hmm, that's it......" Mu Ming whispered thoughtfully, the situation was not as optimistic as he expected, but it was not bad. Mu Ming was not too disappointed with the few works that were preempted, after all, it won't take long for these film and television works to appear, so it's normal to not buy any of them.

The only bad news is that Dian Niang currently has no idea about the copyright sale of the work. You must know that "Douluo Continent", "Breaking the Sky", "Full-time Master" ...... These are the top IPs.

I remember that Dianniang was later acquired by Teng Xun Baba, and I don't know when it happened. If you have enough funds, it's best to buy Dianniang. One is for the brand value of the mother itself, the second is for the huge IP library, and the third is for the hatred that he wrote more than 100,000 words in his previous life and did not sign the contract!

"Don't worry too much about those who fail to sign contracts, we want efficiency. Do you still remember the idea of doing problems taught by the teacher when I was in school? It's easy to get it right, and it's hard to skip it. Now, it's the same. Mu Ming said into the phone.

"I know that. Gao Yubing admitted: "But, Mu Ming, is it really useful for you to buy so many copyrights?"

"Rest assured. In less than three years, you will know how valuable my 'Super Invincible Large-scale IP Purchase' plan is!" Mu Ming said confidently.

“…… Well, is there such a shame in the name of our program? Since I graduated from elementary school, I haven't used words like 'super' or 'invincible' to describe a thing. ”

"Well, how about changing the name to the 'Cosmic Thunderbolt Ultimate Mass IP Purchase' program?"

“…… Forget it, it's good if you're happy. Gao Yubing didn't bother to say anything more, and directly deducted the phone.

Mu Ming put away her phone slowly, young man, the content of the plan is the most important, does it matter what the name is?

However, this phone call reminded Mu Ming that as he bought more and more copyrights of his works, the various related procedures he had to go through would become more and more complicated, and he couldn't get much out of his own words. So he had to pull a team out, at least, he had to have a paperwork to sort out the formalities.

Lao Gao is one, but he has to negotiate the contract, and he is in Jiangcheng, although it is not too far from Jingbei, but it is not very convenient after all. Moreover, it is a bit of a waste to let Lao Gao deal with these formalities.

There are also a few people who are in charge of the contract with Lao Gao, who are actually not bad, and they have been in charge of these things, so they can get started better. It's a pity that they are still people in their prime after all, although they were temporarily borrowed by Mu Ming, they still have to go back in the end.

You can also recruit new people, but I have always been recruited before, and now that my roles are reversed, I really don't know what to do. According to Mu Ming's idea, of course, he wants to recruit a few capable people. But if you are really capable, most of them will not take a fancy to this grass platform team. The most important thing is that this kind of talent is not like those stars, how can Mu Ming, a rookie, tell who is capable and who is not?

As the saying goes, ask your mother if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask your father if you don't decide on foreign affairs. After asking for help from Mu's father based on the current situation, it didn't take long for Mu's father to find someone who met Mu Ming's requirements and actual situation.

There are two men and one woman recommended by Mu's father. The man's name is Hu Tao, a native of Dongshan, a graduate of Dongshan University of Political Science and Law, who interned at the law firm of Chen Shanyi, a friend of Mu's father, whom Mu Ming knew, while preparing for the judicial exam.

The woman's name is Sui Qianqian, a native of Jingbei, a newcomer from Mu's Father Group who has just been here for less than two years, and is ready to resign and return to Jingbei because of family reasons.

Both of them are young people who are more than enough than the upper and lower than the bottom, and they are not much older than Mu Ming. So after soliciting the opinions of the two, they were introduced to Mu Ming. Anyway, a young man with this strength is enough to meet Mu Ming's requirements. Of course, Mu Ming has to pay for the salary or something.

Mu Ming took the time to meet the two, and the attitude of the two was still relatively enthusiastic, after all, Mu Ming would pay them wages in the future. Mu Ming still trusts her father's vision, and after asking some questions, she signed a work contract with the two.

When a new person joins, you have to prepare a proper office location. Mu Ming rented an office in an office building near Sanyuanqiao as an office space for her studio. Someone has land, and Mu Ming's "Shuimu Culture Media Studio" finally has a prototype.

Well-it's a pity that Mu Ming's funds have been a little tight recently, so she can only rent a small office. Otherwise, it's still beautiful.
