Chapter 390: The Unsigned Condor
"Hello dear author. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYour work has been reviewed and has met the criteria for contracting. During the contract signing period, please do not modify the author's name or book title to affect the contract work. Please indicate your relevant information, add the QQ of the contracted editor, if you have any questions about the contract, or need to change the name, please contact the contracted editor for consultation. Contracted Editor QQ is ......"
Almost the front foot sticks to the back foot, and without waiting for Lin Mu to add the contracted editor, the contracted editor sent a message.
Last time, Lin Mu had contact with the website because of the "one-page book new book" incident on the Dianniang Internet, and he also added a few friends at that time, and this news was sent by one of the girls.
Contracted editor Manman: "Excuse me, are all the copyrights of "The Condor Heroes" still in your hands?"
When she spoke, she could hardly suppress the excitement in her heart, and bookmarked a page, what many editors dreamed of?
Many new female editors on the website motivate themselves with the slogan "Sooner or later, I will bookmark a page and press it under me to ravage in all kinds!"
Thinking of some extremely yy pictures, Manman almost wants to sing "Eighteen, Touch"!
Lin Mu had never worked on online novels before, and he was a reader in his previous life, so he was a little curious about this signing: "It's all here, what's wrong?"
Manman: "Well, that's right, although "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was not first published on the website, and the original contract signed will not be all A-level contracts, but since you own all the copyrights, the website still gives A-signed treatment and gives the highest standard recommendation effect. Please take a look at the contract first! The most important thing to pay attention to is the xx clause on page xx......"
Then, I saw that the other party sent him two documents, one was a personal information form, and the other was a contract to sign.
Lin Mu clicked on the signing contract, only to see that it was very long, and there were more than a dozen pages of contracts printed out, showing various precautions.
This is almost already the standard of the contract, each item is listed in detail, all authors are the same, for ordinary authors, there is nothing to doubt, just sign it.
But......
After Lin Mu looked at a few clauses that needed attention, he found that he couldn't sign this contract......
"The website owns the film and television adaptation rights, physical publishing rights and other copyrights of the novel, including but not limited to, the author's copyright income is divided into 50%, and the other ......"
This contract is nothing to ordinary authors, because the chance that an online novel can be published or even made into a film and television is too small, even if it is sold in the end, it is better to have a website to negotiate the conditions than to negotiate with those film and television companies and publishing houses as a layman. In this case, the website is closed in half, although it hurts, but it is understandable.
However, this kind of contract is not satisfactory to those top god-level writers, because their novel rights can be easily sold.
And Lin Mu now, needless to say, the popularity of "Shooting the Condor" has brought him tens of millions of benefits, which shows the depth of the benefits.
And in the future, "Condor Shooting" is bound to be made into countless versions, and there are also movies, and it may even be adapted into an online game, so it is not appropriate to give the copyright to the website in order to sign a contract.
Even if you want to shoot related martial arts dramas in the future, do you have to let yourself go to the website to buy the copyright before you can shoot it?
Moreover, after signing, you can just get a variety of recommended positions, set up paid chapters on the shelves, and earn some manuscript fees. This amount of money is really a drop in the bucket for the current Lin Mu.
Therefore, Lin Mu directly talked to Manman about this idea and expressed his attitude.
But the other party was a little confused: "Wait a minute, Shuda, do you mean that you think "Condor" will be made into a TV series and movie with different copyrights? Will you think too much? The Internet has held a relevant meeting and stated that if your company shoots related movies and TV series, you can not pay the copyright......
This is the idea of the website, you can do without film and television copyrights, after all, Lin Mu is doing film and television, although there are great benefits in this, but if you can exchange it for a page of the station, it will be worth it.
What they think about is the physical publishing rights of the novel, and now with the recruitment of the TV series, the story will also print several batches of physical books, all of which have been snatched up by Condor fans, and the benefits are also huge.
Even many foreigners, such as South Vietnam, are extremely looking forward to "The Condor", and it is not impossible for the novel to be published in more Chinese countries in the future.
But even so, they felt that Lin Mu was thinking too much.
It's just a martial arts novel to be made into a TV series, and you still want to make it into various versions?
Now that you know the plot, it's enough for readers to watch the first version, who will watch the same version of the plot later?
She didn't say these words directly, but only mentioned them vaguely, but Lin Mu was unmoved and had no interest in signing a contract.
Just kidding, the classic martial arts dramas in the previous life, even if they were made into scum by bad movie directors again and again, but every time a new version is filmed, it can still attract the attention of most audiences, how can one of them satisfy the audience's appetite?
In the end, I only talked about the drama "Condor", not to mention various versions in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan, and even Singapore and Vietnam have been remade. It's just that the Singapore remake of Pham Van Li's version is very good, while the Vietnamese version is very scary......
Lin Mu didn't say these words to Manman, because even if she said it, she must have thought that she was pretending to be a god-level force, and she would definitely eliminate the possibility of a date between the two in the future.
Ahem, just kidding.
After receiving the news from the vines, Lin Mu also stopped by to check his author's background, uploaded a few more chapters, and set them to be automatically updated.
But he went in style, but the vine wanted to cry without tears, and was hit by the pie in the face, only to find that the pie was made of iron......
The leader of the website looked at the screen behind him, and naturally knew what was going on, and at this time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and he was so depressed that he couldn't speak.
"Forget it, we should have thought that the copyright of "Condor" is so precious, how could a page of the book be given to us. It's too greedy, in fact, it's already a great surprise that a page of the book is willing to come to the website, don't think about it!" said the leader in charge.
Even to modify the contract, the website does not need any copyright, but no one dares to mention this. There are one and two, and now the whole industry is like this, if you give Lin Mu such a contract, what do those other Internet gods think?
"I don't want to sign a page of books with us, and I guess other famous artists are the same, and they are not willing to hand over the copyright to the website for the sake of the manuscript fee. Let's not rush, let's see what other websites do about it!" said a person in charge.
……
Lin Mu didn't care about these things, he clicked on the author's background at random, looked through it, and found that there was no other data to see, and before it was put on the shelves, there were only collections to see.
More than 87,000 collections?
Lin Mu was powerless to hold his forehead in pain, and his book fans were so lazy...... (To be continued.) )
