Chapter 85: The Copyright Dispute
"Li Liuxian?"
The editor named Watermelon Taro asked uncertainly, he had never met him before, and the only writer who had agreed to meet in the morning was Lee Jun-ho.
Seeing that he was so young, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, because in his opinion, writers who can write excellent historical essays are generally quite old, and young people's knowledge reserves and social experience are not so high, and it is difficult to write good articles with a strong sense of history.
Li Junhao's expression was also a little strange, he didn't expect the editor to look so ...... Cute, not too old, nodded and said, "It's me, I made an appointment with you yesterday." ”
"Come in with me, get a sign, signing a contract is very simple, just fill in a document. ”
The editor of Watermelon Taro said with a smile, "I helped you arrange a recommendation in the morning, and after signing the contract, you can change the status of the work immediately, and then help you arrange a few big recommendations, and directly put it on the shelves."
There has been no precedent for this before, and it was put on the shelves in just a few days, but your collection is enough, and now it only lacks exposure, as I have already told the editor-in-chief.
I read your book last night, and the content is very good! If I hadn't gone to work today, I would have read it all in one sitting!"
found that Li Junhao was very young, the editor of Watermelon Taro was no longer inhibited, and took him to get a door card, and the author often visited the company, and simply registered his name and mobile phone number.
If the girl Zhao Shiyu didn't contact Li Junhao last night, then just come over today and sign the contract, don't think too much, anyway, he doesn't know much about this business, just listen to the company's arrangement.
However, Zhao Shiyu of Watermelon Pictures has decided to buy the film and television rights of the book "The Early Years of the Ming Dynasty" at a high price, and the price is not low, Li Junhao hesitated for a while at the moment, and poured cold water on the enthusiastic editor of Watermelon Taro: "That...... Wait a minute, there are some things I want to talk to you about. ”
The editor of Watermelon Taro paused, looked sideways at Li Junhao and said, "What, are you still hesitating to publish on which website?"
Our site is definitely the best for you, with more readers than other sites, especially the history genre, which definitely doesn't have as many readers as we have.
Last month, there was a platinum, just the remuneration got more than 900,000 yuan, this is not counting the cost of adaptation of various channels, in March this year, we sold a book of great gods, the copyright fee is as high as more than 6 million, no matter from which point of view, our website is the best.
Judging from your book, it is definitely not a problem to become a god in one book, and I will definitely give you the best recommendation!"
After Li Junhao heard it, he thought that the copyright fee of the book after becoming famous seemed to be very high, where did he understand these things, in ancient times, they were all "taken for nothing", and the printing of books was to give the author face, as for the remuneration or something, it all depends on the boss's mood.
Then he said: "It's not because of this, someone approached me last night and said that they were going to buy the copyright of my book, and the price was quite good, so I was hesitating. ”
The editor of Watermelon Taro was a little confused, and asked curiously, "Have you written other bestsellers before?"
"No, this is the first time I've written a book. ”
"Oh, it's absolutely no problem for you to publish this book, and our company can also help, now it's not very profitable to publish physical books, and electronic online sales channels are the big one."
Even if you sell the publishing rights, this is not in the way, and the rest of the copyrights can be entrusted to us.
Fifty-fifty percent of the sales proceeds, if the results meet the standard of signing the Great God Covenant, it can be higher, if it is platinum, then it is almost all your own, and the upside is infinite. ”
Many authors contact the publishing house on their own, and then sign a contract with the publishing house through the company, which is not a big deal in the opinion of the editor of Miguataro.
Now the top priority is to sign Li Junhao, and the collection in two days has reached more than 50,000, which is far beyond the gods, which is enough to show how good Li Junhao's works are.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Junhao actually told: "It's not publishing, they want to make a TV series and give me 1.5 million."
I checked the other party's information, it should be true, she told me that after signing a contract with your company, she will share half of the remuneration, isn't that so?"
The editor of Watermelon Taro was immediately dumbfounded, now the IP adaptation industry is good, yes, but it hasn't been like this, look at Li Junhao with shocked eyes, a new book that has just appeared, and there is no same plot on the Internet, and someone has already wanted to buy film and television copyrights?
Not all works are suitable for making TV series or movies, in addition to the work itself, it depends on luck, among the gods of the company, many of them have not been able to sell the copyright, but someone has already contacted Li Junhao?
All this is too amazing in the eyes of the editor of Watermelon Taro, and he subconsciously felt that Li Junhao might have some way, the starting point was higher than ordinary people, and his tone was suspicious, and he asked him: "Now there are many liars, be careful of losing all your money, and being taken away from the copyright in vain, this kind of thing has not happened before."
If you sign a contract with our company...... According to the regulations, there is indeed some operating fee, but this is your own contact, and you have not signed a contract, I will help you ask the nonsense editor-in-chief later.
1.5 million, if we talk about it, maybe it can be higher, our company has cooperative relations with many film and television companies, and good works don't have to worry about not selling, your book is indeed very suitable for adaptation into a TV series.
Which company contacted you? Maybe I know. ”
The editor of Watermelon Taro was obviously talking to him, and Li Junhao felt that it didn't matter if he told him, so he said calmly: "Watermelon Pictures Company seems to have just been established."
The woman who contacted me last night said that she was the daughter of the chairman of Perfect Entertainment Group, surnamed Zhao, do you know?"
“…… Coincidentally, I really know each other, but I've only met once. ”
The editor of Watermelon Taro was a little worried at the moment, and found that the signing of the contract seemed to be a little hanging, and continued: "It seems that he founded a company by himself, but I don't know what the name is, I'll help you ask later." ”
Li Junhao nodded, this editor is a good person, he wants to know how the company will deal with it, if he forcibly decides to divide this part of the copyright fee, he can only give up the plan to sign the contract, and the two days of code words in exchange for more than one million are enough to satisfy him.
The editor of Watermelon Taro took him around and introduced the company's operation methods, and then asked Li Junhao to drink tea in the lounge first, and he hurriedly went to find the editor-in-chief of the gibberish and told him about it.
Someone bought the copyright, and the editor-in-chief paid a lot more attention to the book "The Early Years of the Ming Dynasty", and after asking some questions about Watermelon Taro, he called someone from the Perfect Entertainment Group he knew, and learned that Watermelon Pictures Company was indeed the daughter of their boss's family.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Watermelon Taro, "Wait and call me back."
My friend knew the girl surnamed Zhao and said to help me ask her, if it was really her going to buy the copyright of the book, it would be a bit of a problem.
But maybe it's also a good thing, if the book's results are excellent, the price of 1.5 million is definitely not high, become a great god and pack it out, it is estimated that 5 million is possible, I have been the editor-in-chief for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a demonic book......"
