Chapter 178: The contract of "Water Margin" is signed

"Whose phone call made you like this?"

Lin Yang asked curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Gangzi and Hao Jun all looked at Qin Feng, obviously wanting to know the answer as well.

"Don't leak it!"

Qin Feng smiled and sold a pass, took his mobile phone and walked to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Trick up!"

Lin Yang muttered, and then continued to chat with Gangzi and them.

But everyone's minds were no longer on chatting, and their curiosity fell on Qin Feng's inexplicable phone call.

……

The call came from the editor of the novel website, and the editor's name was very good, **Hua Qiushi.

The name of the website is Origin, which is very similar to the starting point of the previous life of the online novel, and is the largest Chinese online novel site at present.

The Origin editor had already contacted Qin Feng, and when he posted "Harry Potter" on Weibo, the other party sent a private message, hoping to put this novel on the Origin website for the first time.

For various reasons, Qin Feng rejected the other party, and also rejected the editors of all websites, and adopted the method of Weibo publishing, and then physical publishing.

The method he adopted made many novel websites very helpless and envious.

This time, he stated on Weibo that he would publish "Water Margin" on the novel website, and as soon as the news was released, it immediately caused a sensation in the online literary world.

Every fiction website and editor saw the huge benefits involved, and naturally they swarmed it!

As soon as Qin Feng sent out the news on Weibo, countless editors contacted him through private messages on Weibo and other means, hoping to get the first release of this novel.

Chunhua Qiushi was one of the first editors to contact him.

Considering that Origin.com has the strongest comprehensive strength, and the editors are also enthusiastic and professional, Qin Feng chose Origin.com as the first website of "Water Margin".

The two sides had already communicated online before, and Qin Feng also told each other his conditions.

After a few days of consideration and weighing, Origin.com decided to accept his conditions, and Chunhua Qiushi came to negotiate the contract today.

"Hello, is it Chunhua Qiushi? I'm Qin Feng."

Qin Feng walked to the balcony, closed the balcony door, slid on his mobile phone and began to answer.

An enthusiastic male voice immediately came from the other end of the line.

"Hello Mr. Qin, I'm Origin Editor Chunhua Qiushi, and I've arrived at your school, where can we meet?"

"Wow! So fast! I thought you had just gotten off the plane and saw the five-star hotel next to the school? Wait for me in the café on the second floor of the hotel, I'll contact the lawyer, and I'll be there soon."

"See, then we'll wait for you at the hotel, we'll see you later"

"Okay, see you later"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng immediately called Mr. Wang Jianxin and asked him to come over and help him review the contract.

Teacher Wang didn't go to the law firm today, and Qin Feng said hello last night when the school was preparing for the start of school, so he would be able to come over soon.

After making the call, Qin Feng walked into the dormitory, put on his coat, and prepared to go home to get his laptop, and then go to the hotel.

Before leaving, Lin Yang and the others asked about the content of the phone call again, and Qin Feng threw them two words - confidential!

Looking at Qin Feng's departing back, Lin Yang and the others hated it so much, but they didn't have a point!

……

"Is there a lawyer to be present? It's too solemn, isn't it? We won't cheat him, the contract was drafted exactly according to his will, so what's not to worry about?"

Chunhua Qiushi hung up the phone and said helplessly to the two colleagues who came together.

One of these two is the editor-in-chief of history, and the other is the company's in-house.

The expression of the autumn water is very indifferent.

"There is no harm in being rigorous, Qin Feng is different from other authors, he is a popular star, and when it comes to contracts, he must be more careful than ordinary people"

"That's right, he's really different, and this contract is unique, isn't the company making too many concessions?"

"Hehehe, it's normal for you to have this idea, or that sentence, Qin Feng is different! In his case, the company is not thinking about making money, the book company can even choose zero share, and it is willing to put it on the website for the first time.

Don't forget, he has more than 20 million Weibo fans behind him, and so many people like his cross talk and songs, what a huge and tempting piece of cake!

Hearing these words of the editor-in-chief, Chunhua Qiushi also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, a popular star author in the entertainment industry like Qin Feng is too rare, and it is normal to give the current superior conditions.

Qiushui Changtian paused for a moment and continued:

"He is becoming popular like a rocket, and his popularity is getting higher and higher, and he will definitely bring countless attention to the website when he publishes a book, which is equivalent to an advertisement with a great effect, and it is a long-term free advertisement!

The huge network traffic and hot spot effect he brings are the most important things for the website, what can the website lose? at most a few referral slots, even if these efforts will be quickly earned back from the sales share."

That's right, the most valuable thing for the author of the novel website is the recommendation position, but in the case of the website, there is no cost, who is not given?

The most valuable thing that the author brings to the novel website is, of course, the network traffic and attention, and the online novel is gradually entering the IP era, and the network traffic has become the most critical data to measure the quality of a novel.

Qin Feng undoubtedly has such an ability, no matter what website he publishes, he will definitely bring a lot of popularity and traffic to the website.

The three of them chatted as they walked towards the hotel.

Or the editor-in-chief said, Chunhua Qiushi and legal affairs listen.

Qin Feng is also a little different from others, he has his own advertising skills, which is too rare! The previous "Harry Potter" and "Water Margin" can be seen in the early promotion.

Not to mention his active promotion on Weibo again and again, just ask if there is a writer who can compile a novel into a cross talk and promote it to the people of the whole country on the Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, only he can do this!

So such a popular star, such a book that is destined to be a hit, do you think the website will let it go? Not to mention his current conditions, even if he is harsh, the company will nod and agree!"

Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the hotel, walked in with a smile, and went down to the café on the second floor under the guidance of the staff.

……

Qin Feng waited in front of the teaching building for two or three minutes, and Teacher Wang arrived.

After saying hello, the two walked to the hotel next to the school.

On the way, Qin Feng introduced the communication between himself and the editor, and also told Mr. Wang the signing conditions, so that Mr. Wang would review the contract according to his own requirements and avoid all possible loopholes.

It is not an exaggeration for Qin Feng to be so careful, no one knows the importance of "Water Margin" better than him, this is one of the most brilliant pearls in the history of Chinese literature!

After the release of this novel, it will not only attract the attention of countless readers and make a lot of money, but also cause a sensation in the entire literary world.

His status in the literary world will definitely improve rapidly with the release of this masterpiece, and the more time passes, the heavier his status will be, which is not something that "Harry Potter" can compare and give!

In addition to e-reading copyrights, there are also film and television adaptation rights, comic adaptation rights, online games, audio novels, etc., as well as all other peripheral rights, but where novels can be involved, this book will not be less!

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a super gold mine, a bigger gold mine than Harry Potter, inexhaustible!

If the copyright of the novel can be retained permanently, he is completely sure that his descendants will be able to rely on this novel without worrying about food and clothing, and even die of fine clothes and food.

Of course, this is just his good wish, and the copyright cannot be kept permanently, even so, it is necessary to avoid all unexpected situations at the moment, and when signing the contract, no matter how careful it is, it is not superfluous!

The hotel is very close to the school, and just after the briefing, the two of them arrived.

When they entered the café, as soon as they said the name of Chunhua Qiushi at the bar, the waiter led them to the private seat.

After bringing it, the waiter left.

Qin Feng stepped forward with a smile and lightly knocked on the wooden screen.

"Please come in"

Qin Feng and Teacher Wang bypassed the screen and saw three men.

"Mr. Qin, hello, I am Chunhua Qiushi, the origin editor who contacted you, and my real name is Liang Hua"

Chunhua Qiushi immediately stood up with a smile and came up to say hello.

"Hello Mr. Liang, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm Qin Feng, this is Mr. Wang Jianxin, my law teacher, and my lawyer."

Chunhua Qiushi shook hands with Teacher Wang, and then began to introduce the two men beside him.

"This is the editor-in-chief of historical novels on Origin Network, Qiushui Changtian, his real name is Hu Qing, this is the company's legal counsel, Cheng Yuneng"

After a polite greeting, everyone got to the point.

Qin Feng said with a smile:

"I said when I communicated with Mr. Liang before, I only authorize the copyright of the book "Water Margin" for electronic reading, and I will retain all the other rights and interests, I wonder if your website can accept this condition?"

Qiushui Changtian nodded and said:

"After discussion, we decided to accept this point, and it will be reflected in the contract, but I still want to ask, why is Mr. Qin unwilling to give us the rest of the authorization?

Our website has very good results in physical book publishing, film and television adaptation, game production, etc., if you are willing to authorize, we will definitely give you the most satisfactory answer"

Qin Feng replied with a smile:

"I believe all of what you say, after all, you are the best in the industry, and you must be doing a great job, but I do intend to keep these rights for myself.

In terms of physical fiction publishing, I have reached a preliminary agreement with Huaxia Publishing Company, and they will publish this novel and list it nationwide.

Of course, the physical book publishing is after the website is released, and it will not affect the reading and traffic of the website, and I am ready to hand over the rest of the rights and interests to the company I am about to establish, so I can only apologize."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the two editors immediately gave up all other thoughts.

Obviously, Qin Feng is very mature in considering all aspects of "Water Margin", and even has a complete set of publicity and marketing plans.

Not only did he find the largest publisher to publish, but he also prepared to set up his own company to deal with the relevant rights, and it was completely impossible for the rest of the people or companies to get their hands on these rights.

Qin Feng paused for a moment and continued:

"What percentage of your sales share can you give me?"

"Because you are different from other online writers and have a large number of fans, our website has decided to adopt a 28-ratio split for the book "Water Margin" after discussion.

As long as the revenue generated by the novel on the website will take this sharing ratio, the website is 20%, you are 80%, which will be indicated in the contract.

Regarding the specific sharing ratio, please also keep it confidential, if it is announced, it may cause dissatisfaction among the rest of the writers, in the online novel industry, you are still a newcomer after all, and this sharing ratio is unprecedented."

Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction:

"I'll keep it a secret, this percentage is more in line with my expectations, the two most important things have been solved, and now we can talk about signing the contract."

"Okay, this is the contract we have prepared, in duplicate, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it, if you think there is anything inappropriate, we can talk about it again.

After the negotiation, we will give feedback to the company immediately, the legal counsel in Shanghai is on standby at any time, and the new contract will come soon, we just need to print it out."

Qiushui Changtian said and handed over the prepared contract.

"You guys are really thoughtful and efficient, no wonder it can become the largest fiction website in China!

Since you have brought the contract, let Mr. Wang review it, so that you can avoid some unnecessary troubles, let's not worry."

After speaking, Qin Feng handed the contract to Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang took the contract and sat aside, and began to review it carefully.

The legal counsel of Origin also followed, and was in charge of explaining the terms and conditions.

Qin Feng chatted with the two editors in a low voice.

……

Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, Mr. Wang finished reviewing the contract.

There is no problem with the contract, it fully reflects Qin Feng's meaning, and the rights and interests of the website are also the same.

After receiving Mr. Wang's affirmative reply, Qin Feng immediately smiled and said:

"Since there are no problems with the contract, let's sign it now"

"Great, please fill in some relevant information, the complete contract will be generated soon, print it out and you can sign it"

"Okay!"

After speaking, Qin Feng began to fill in the details of the contract on the computer, which was nothing more than relevant identity information, bank card numbers, and the author's pen name and the like.

Qin Feng didn't use any pen name, he used his real name.

This is a book that will be passed down through the ages, and it is a matter of honoring the ancestors, how can you use those pseudonyms that do not know the so-called!

After filling in the relevant content, he sent it to Chunhua Qiushi in person.

Then the actual licensing contract began to be formed on the in-house counsel's computer.

……

After signing, Origin Legal Stamped the company seal, and when the novel was launched, the authorization contract officially began to be performed.

At this time, it was almost dinner time, and he didn't change places, so Qin Feng invited them to a meal at the hotel.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he left the hotel with Mr. Wang.

Origin: The three stayed in the hotel and flew back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning.

Before leaving, Qin Feng told them that the novel would be launched tonight, and he would make an announcement on Weibo, believing that the first two chapters would attract countless readers.

The three of them are also very excited, and they will definitely pay attention to the launch of the novel, and they will pass the review as soon as possible, so that the book can meet readers as soon as possible.

They hope that the novel will set a record for the first day of the Origins book.

After leaving the hotel and saying goodbye to Teacher Wang, Qin Feng went back to his residence directly.

Liu Yan, Ye Xiaotong, Lin Yang and all the classmates in the school will be waiting at home.

After signing the authorization contract, Qin Feng called them and told them to come and witness this historic moment together.

After receiving the call, Liu Yan and the others immediately ran over excitedly, waiting for Qin Feng to go back and send the book!

Everyone wants to witness the online premiere of this novel.

I want to see what kind of book this is, which makes Qin Feng so solemn! I want to see if this book can set off a storm in the literary world as Qin Feng said!
