Zhang Siya's work efficiency has always been very high.

Zhao Qian asked her to help find someone to evaluate the copyright, and she called the law firm that afternoon, and only two days later, the other party came to the door with the data.

In fact, there is a special appraisal agency doing this kind of work, and the law firm also has related business, Zhao Qian in line with the idea that more things are better than less, so he directly entrusted the law firm that he had cooperated with the company to be responsible for.

"Hello Mr. Zhao, see you again. ”

In the reception room of the company, a lawyer surnamed Wu greeted Zhao Qian with a smile on his face, and the law firm naturally welcomed Zhao Qian, a big customer.

Zhao Qian smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello lawyer Wu, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Li Wanqing and the two of them sat on the other side.

After the two sides finished the polite exchange, Mr. Wu began to get to the point: "Regarding the various copyright values of several works under your name, our firm has made a value assessment, this is a detailed table, you can take a look at it first." ”

After speaking, he handed over a document, which was about the evaluation of the copyright value of the four copies under Zhao Qian's name, and the corresponding prices were marked at the back, and the price of some of the copyrights that had been sold was lower than the price sold at that time, which is understandable.

It's good to be able to do such an accurate assessment in two and a half days.

When Zhao Qian looked down at the evaluation report, Lawyer Wu kept looking at his expression nervously to see if there was any change, and every time Zhao Qian frowned slightly, Lawyer Wu's heartbeat would suddenly speed up.

After reading it, Zhao Qian nodded and said, "It's really good, thank you, we'll settle the relevant expenses later." ”

Lawyer Wu smiled on his face and answered, "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your trust and support. Today, we are mainly studying and discussing the simplified copyright of the book "Diba", as well as the valuation of the copyright of comics and animations, and our firm has also prepared relevant plans. ”

"First of all, simplified copyright, Mr. Zhao, your request is to take the royalty rate share, right? Then our suggestion is to strive for a royalty rate of 12-15%, and then the number of first printing is tentatively set at 200,000 copies. ”

"200,000 copies?"

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows: "Will it be too much?"

He is publishing simplified for the first time, and he doesn't know the domestic physical book sales market, and it seems that except for some chicken soup articles, there is no sales in the category, especially the Internet category.

The one who set sail for the physical book sold better was Tang San, and the book "Tang Gate" alone created a record of total sales of more than 10 million. It is said that the total annual sales volume exceeds 20 million copies, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, Zhao Qian didn't ask.

The works of the platinum god are not badly sold, and there are still tens of millions of sales, while the average author, the total sales can sell more than 100,000 copies, which is already very powerful.

Now Lawyer Wu directly comes to the first printing of 200,000 copies, which is a rhythm that scares people to death, and many authors may not be able to sell 100,000 copies until they finish writing.

Who knew that Lawyer Wu just smiled, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry at all, your book is completely a phenomenal work, and you underestimate its influence." According to our statistics, whether it is the Baidu search index or the number of online clicks and readings, the book "Diba" is the first in this year's online classification, and even crushes many online bestsellers. ”

"And we also took the time to do a simple market research, distributed 1,000 online questionnaires, and 1,000 offline questionnaires, and successfully recovered 1,931 copies, and found that there are still more readers who are willing to buy your physical book, accounting for 5%, of which are mainly college and middle school students and office workers. ”

"So the number of 200,000 for the first printing is not an exaggeration at all. It may even be underestimating the market, after all, the number of online readers is growing every year, and the number of paying users is also increasing. This has to depend on the conditions of the publisher first, and we can bargain. ”

Zhao Qian tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, seriously thinking about the profit brought by this number. If you can really print 200,000 copies for the first time, it will definitely be much more cost-effective than a simple buyout.

The unit price is 23 yuan * 200,000 copies * 12% royalty rate = 20,000 yuan

According to the number of words of the emperor, it is still possible to publish 40 copies, and the 20 million will be in hand.

, it's not that I don't know, I'm scared!

Simplified Chinese publishing is so profitable?

Although it is because of the number of words in "Emperor Ba", the works of other authors are at most four or five million words, and the simplified Chinese is 200,000 words per volume, which is already a lot of 20 volumes. But 20 volumes, if each volume can print 10,000 or 20,000 copies, it is also a lot of income.

This is just an ordinary Internet god author, Zhao Qian remembers that the best-selling author Yang Zhi made a lot of money by selling physical books. The "LONGZU" series he wrote, the first printing was 1.5 million, and it was sold out of stock, and he continued to reprint. Each subsequent volume was a first printing of more than 1.5 million copies.

If you think about it this way, it seems that 200,000 copies of your first printing is not a lot. What's more, these 200,000 copies are to be put into 34 provincial-level administrative units, 333 prefecture-level administrative units, and 2,862 county-level administrative units across the country, with an average of less than 70 copies per city.

Seems to work.

Seeing Zhao Qian nodding slightly, Lawyer Wu continued: "Do you know the book "The Age of Orange and Yellow"?"

Zhao Qian's expression moved: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it." "This book is the work of a digital station, and it has been passed down by some people.

Lawyer Wu laughed: "If I told you that this book has a first printing of 150,000 copies, would you think it would be an exaggeration?"

Zhao Qian finally put his mind at ease, damn, even the first printing of this book dares to open 150,000 copies, what is there to coax with 200,000 copies?

Dry!

"Understood, thank you, Mr. Wu. Zhao Qian felt more and more that he was right to recruit people to evaluate the value of copyright, at least he didn't lose to his grandmother's family.

Lawyer Wu smiled and nodded: "You're welcome, it's our duty to share the worries of our customers." Then there is the manga and anime copyright, I suggest that you can split it up and sell it, the physical single book of the comic will be published by the publishing house, the electronic version will be serialized online, and the anime will be sold to Penguin Animation. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian frowned again: "It's good to be like this, but what if they don't agree?"

Lawyer Wu smiled casually: "If you don't agree, you can negotiate slowly, and you will always be able to reach an agreement, and then the role of the lawyer will be reflected." If you need it, we can help you. ”

Zhao Qian was noncommittal: "Then how much do you think comics and anime can sell?"

Lawyer Wu obviously did his homework to come, and he didn't even turn over the information: "The physical single book of the comic can also print 200,000 copies, and the electronic version needs to be carefully discussed with the publishing house, and the copyright of the animation is not less than 4 million." Believe me, this IP copyright is definitely worth the price!"

Zhao Qian was thrilled by what he said.

You must know that even the full copyright of the comic and anime of "Urban Immortals" was only sold for 3.8 million. Now just one animation copyright wants to sell 4 million, isn't it a bit whimsical?

But what if it does sell?

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then it will trouble Lawyer Wu." ”

Lawyer Wu's eyes lit up: "Don't bother, Mr. Zhao is waiting for my good news!"

Zhao Qian turned his head to Zhang Siya and said, "Manager Zhang, then I will trouble you to talk to Lawyer Wu about the relevant cooperation fees, and I will go to the bathroom first." ”

Professional things are left to professional people.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao!" Zhang Siya took the information he handed over and began to enter the business negotiation mode.
