Chapter Seventy-One: The price is too low
"Hey, hello. Li Feng connected his mobile phone.
"Hello, isn't it Mr. Li?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Li Feng said politely.
"I'm Liang Xinrong, Director of Content at SITC Media Group. The other party said lightly.
"Oh!" Li Feng waited quietly, he hadn't heard of SITC Media Group, but he knew about SITC Publishing House.
The physical publisher of Lin Siyun's last book is SITC Publishing House.
Haifeng City, Qiuyang Building.
In the office, Liang Xinrong rested his legs on the desk and said calmly: "I think, you should have guessed the reason why I called you?"
"One thing, is it a matter of publishing?" Li Feng was a little strange, last time someone from SITC Publishing House contacted him, how did he change it to SITC Media Group this time?
Liang Xinrong smiled slightly: "Not only publishing, but also film and television adaptation rights, we also plan to buy it." ”
"Which one?"
Li Feng was a little surprised, although Lin Siyun's last book "The Little Daughter-in-law of the Republic of China" was popular, it was too fantasy and not suitable for changing into TV series or movies. In the case of the new book, although it has become popular on the Internet, and there are signs of a complete fire, it is only more than 100,000 words now, and it is too early to talk about adapting it into a TV series or movie.
At the very least, you have to wait for the book to be finished, right? Otherwise, if the book is not finished, how can it be adapted into a film and television drama?
"Do you think your sister's first book has the qualifications to be adapted into a film and television drama?" Liang Xinrong said disdainfully.
Li Feng couldn't help frowning.
"In the past two days, you brothers and sisters should come over to Haifeng City! When you call me, I will have someone pick you up and arrange your food and lodging. ”
Liang Xinrong knew that he was a little polite when he spoke, but he didn't take it to heart. A new book that is only more than 100,000 yuan, although the data is really popular, but he is not a well-known author, whether he can maintain the popularity and finish the book is a problem, he really can't look at it. If it weren't for the editor-in-chief of its publishing house, Tai He, who personally called and strongly recommended it, and this old guy was one of the two major feudal officials of the group, and his status was higher than him, not to mention that he personally came forward to contact him, he would have clicked away.
"Sorry, I don't have time. ”
Li Feng directly shook his head and refused, just kidding, with this attitude, what price can he afford?
What's more, no matter how high the price is, the other party needs to come to the door to negotiate.
He didn't have time to go out of town.
In fact, according to his expectations, Li Feng planned to let Lin Siyun handle the various copyrights of the book "Reincarnation" by himself.
Because in a few months, Lin Siyun will turn sixteen years old to receive her ID card, and she will be regarded as half a foot into the ranks of adults. Li Feng plans to return all the decision-making power to Lin Siyun and let her learn to handle everything by herself.
But even so, he would not agree to let Lin Siyun go to other places to negotiate the contract.
After all, he was only sixteen years old, and he didn't worry about letting a pure and beautiful little girl go out to the field alone to negotiate a contract with someone.
"Don't have time?" Liang Xinrong seemed to hear something incredible, he was surprised: "Do you know how difficult it is for a novel to be adapted into a film and television drama? Do you know how difficult it is to sell the film and television adaptation rights of a book that has only written more than 100,000 words and the author is only a little famous on the Internet? Do you know how difficult it is to be favored by our SITC Media Group for film and television adaptation rights?"
"Let's talk about it in a few months!" Li Feng said lightly.
"Say it in a few months?" Liang Xinrong frowned, he thought about it in a few months.
Ketaihe has already explained that he must get all kinds of copyrights for this book as soon as possible.
"Your attitude is very bad. Liang Xinrong's tone became a little stern: "If you don't think that your sister's book still has some potential, you don't need me to make this call in person." But if you think you have a little potential, you can be arrogant, then you are wrong. Under SITC Media Group, we have a large number of well-known writers and a large number of high-quality film and television dramas. ”
Li Feng was happy, he smiled and said, "I think I have a bad attitude, you can not talk about it." Just like I think your attitude is even worse, I choose not to talk to you, goodbye. ”
After speaking, Li Feng hung up the phone directly.
On the other side, Liang Xinrong was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.
"Damn, I've never seen anyone like this. ”
"I thought that my sister's book had just shown some signs of fire, and she could follow the chicken dog to heaven, and there was no one in her eyes?"
"Arrogance, I don't know how thick the sky is. Even those successful and well-known writers are polite in front of me. ”
Liang Xinrong scolded and scolded for a long time, and finally picked up the phone again.
"Taihe's old thing, more than 100,000 words will let me buy the film and television adaptation rights, if it is rotten in my hands, I will see what you do to rely on the old and sell the old. ”
Liang Xinrong was angry, he really didn't want to talk to Li Feng anymore.
Not only because of Li Feng's bad attitude, but also because he felt that a person like Li Feng, who did not know the height of the sky and did not understand the sophistication of human feelings, had little possibility of giving him a benefit.
However, he still had to make this call.
Otherwise, with the fiery temper of Ethay, he learned that he had not bought all kinds of copyrights, and he could have lifted his desk.
On the other side, Li Feng made tea and was reading a novel while drinking tea, when the mobile phone rang again.
At first glance, the caller ID seems to be the same number just now.
After a moment's hesitation, he answered the phone anyway.
"If the royalty is increased by eight percent, the film and television adaptation rights can give you 300,000 yuan. Liang Xinrong opened his mouth hard.
"It's too low. Li Feng shook his head.
"Too low? Do you understand the market?" Liang Xinrong was furious: "The royalty is eight percent, which is already two points higher than the previous book." In terms of adaptation rights, it would be good for a newcomer to have more than 100,000, and I will directly give you 300,000. You don't really think that a random novel, the adaptation rights can sell millions of dollars, right? For a newcomer like your sister, even if it is really adapted into a film and television drama, the total investment will be millions at most. ”
"I finally replied that I will not sell any copyright to "Reincarnation" to you, I hope you don't call again, goodbye. ”
Li Feng was really not interested in arguing about these things, so he simply clicked off this SITC Media Group.
Replaced by the business director of SITC Publishing House who came to him last time, he can still patiently talk about his own conditions. What kind of director is this...... He didn't even bother to open his mouth.
Bang!
Liang Xinrong finally couldn't help but smash the phone out.
"I don't know what to do, when you can't sell a dime, I'll see what you do!"
"Dare to sit on the ground and raise the price, that old thing is highly recommended, don't think I can't guess what you must have in here. Guan Gong played with a big knife in front of him, you are still too tender. ”
"It's okay, I thought I couldn't help you when I climbed that old thing. In terms of film and television dramas, SITC Media Group does not have much influence. Available in the publishing world...... I made a phone call, and it was difficult for you to publish!"
"I think you can survive for a few days, and when I find out that there are not many publishing houses that even come to your door, there are times when you cry and shout and beg me. ”
