Chapter 41 Settle down to grind steel

"Great, you finally replied to my message, the sky has eyes, what is your penguin number? Over there, Dong Solstice replied to Fang Dalei's message, with the expression of a crying villain's face behind him.

Fang Dalei smiled and sent the Penguin to the winter solstice, and received a friend verification message in less than five seconds.

After Fang Dalei added Dong Solstice as a friend, Dong Solstice quickly sent a message: "Hello Thor, I am the editor of Grinding Steel, Dong Solstice, we are very optimistic about your new book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and I want to sign an exclusive contract with you." ”

"How to sign an exclusive contract?" Fang Dalei asked.

"We offer you a platinum contract to promote your work across all channels. Leishen Da, you will exclusively license the work to our website, we own all kinds of copyrights of the work. Of course, the signing fee of your platinum contract will not be less, which is easy to say, and the future work will be updated according to the price of the platinum contract, so you don't have to worry about sales. Winter Solstice explained.

Speaking from the heart, the conditions for Sansheng to authorize the winter solstice to give Fang Dalei's book are quite good, and a newcomer's new work directly opens a platinum contract, which is absolutely unprecedented, which can also show the courage of Sansheng.

The problem is that Sunshine still underestimated Fang Dalei and underestimated the impact of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern", this is a work that has influenced an era, and it is conservatively estimated that the big IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will bring more than 5 billion yuan to the copyright owner.

Of course, this 5 billion is also the sum of all kinds of adaptations, including movies, TV, comics, games, etc., despite this, this income is also quite amazing.

And back then, the original thing was because the copyright was authorized early, and in the end, although the book made a lot of money, it didn't have much to do with him, so he could only take a small head.

Since he knows that this is the result, then Fang Dalei has no reason to cheapen the website with this money, so he will not let out the copyright of the adaptation.

So, Fang Dalei left a message to the winter solstice: "It's better like this, I won't sign any platinum contract with you, just sign the most ordinary sharing contract, how much money is sold on the website, how much the reader rewards, and half of the two parties." As for copyright, in addition to digital publishing copyright, so other copyrights belong to me, of course, you grinding steel under the same conditions have priority to buy my other copyrights, in addition, I will give you an audio copyright authorization, after all, you do audio is still good. ”

"This ......" As soon as he saw the conditions proposed by Fang Dalei, Dong Solstice was stunned, it was the first time he had seen someone sign a contract with the website like this. In the past, if they told the author to open a platinum contract to each other, as long as they were not god-level authors who had been famous for a long time, they would jump up happily and would not ask for anything else at all.

This Thor is good, don't want platinum, directly share, this kind of thing seems to have only happened once when I ate tomatoes, and that's because people sell well, and it's more than buying out.

The problem is that you are a newcomer to Thor, and you have not been tested by the market at all, so is it not good to sign a platinum buyout contract comfortably? There is no risk at all, so why bother to sign a share?

Even if you sign it, whether it's S sign or A sign, the website has all kinds of adaptation copyrights, which is like Raytheon, which only gives digital publishing copyright and audiobook copyright.

So Dong Solstice continued to persuade Fang Da Lei bitterly, hoping that he would change his mind, and kept instilling in him the fact that he was a newcomer, hoping that he would be lost.

Who knows that Fang Da Lei Wang Ba has an iron heart, so he has to sign the contract according to what he said, otherwise he would rather not sign a contract, only be a resident author on the website, write resident works, he has full confidence in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", you don't sign the steel, I can sign wherever I go, and seeing that the book is about to become popular, I am anxious to grind the steel.

"Thor, your request is really a bit difficult for me, this is beyond my authority, why don't you wait a minute, I can ask our boss?" said Dong Solstice embarrassedly.

"Well, Winter Solstice Editor, I don't embarrass you, I know this request is a bit excessive, but from my point of view, I am very confident in this book, this book will definitely be an instant hit, and I have no reason to push the things that are sure to make money to outsiders, do you say? Besides, I also left you a copy, don't you give you the digital publishing copyright and the audiobook copyright?" Fang Dalei typed unhurriedly, " In this way, you ask your leaders, if you can, I will find a lawyer to come to your door to sign a contract, if not, we will not be benevolent and righteous, and there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”

"Okay, big, you wait for my good news!" Dong Solstice replied to Fang Dalei's message.

Speaking of which, if you really want to sign a contract like this, Fang Dalei really has to find a lawyer to deal with it, after all, the contracts for grinding steel are all model contracts with a fixed format, for each author is the same, he asks for various rights like this, and the final signed contract must be newly signed, and all the terms in it have to be seen by a lawyer clearly, after all, the benefits brought by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the future are too great, and it is difficult to ensure that there are no loopholes or loopholes in the contract.

Speaking of lawyers, Fang Dalei naturally thought of Xue Qingya, which was also the reason why he told Xue Qingya that he had something to ask her, and he had already thought about asking Xue Qingya to help him deal with this contract.

On the other side, Dong Solstice hurriedly ran to Sansheng's office and told Sansheng about Fang Da Leiti's request.

Sansheng held the huge thermos cup, thinking while drinking tea, and the other finger kept tapping on the table with his knuckles, and those who were familiar with it knew that he was making an important decision.

After a while, Sansheng came back to his senses and instructed Dong Zhi: "This Thor is really confident enough! Agree to his request, we can order a special edition of the contract for him, since he said that he wanted to come and talk in person, then we will meet and talk about the specific details, to be honest, I am very curious about this person, what kind of person is it, can have this kind of unbelievable novel in his head." ”

"But boss, this kind of contract is not in accordance with the rules, let alone explaining to the shareholders, even if it is known to other authors, it is estimated that it will cause trouble. Dong Solstice said worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll take it up to me if there's any problem, and I'll explain it to the board in person. I'm quite optimistic about this book, even if there is only digital publishing and audiobook copyright, it is also of great benefit to us, not to mention that we don't need to pay the signing fee and buyout money, the share is a sure profit for us, and the traffic that Thor's book can bring to our website alone is enough to determine everything. Otherwise, do you think that the works of those platinum gods are really worth 500 yuan or 1,000 yuan per thousand words? Aren't you fancy their readership and their drainage ability? As for other authors, that's easy to do, whoever wants to think that their books will be popular, then they can also do it according to this example, otherwise don't force it. ”

In this kind of major event, Sansheng has always been very decisive, and decided to sign a special contract with Fang Dalei in a few words, and later, he was quite satisfied with his decision, because the positive impact that Fang Dalei brought to the grinding of steel was really something he couldn't think of at the beginning.
