Chapter 487: Step into the Billions of Steps!

20 million US dollars seems to be a lot, but in fact, Lin Han basically only needs to pay more than 10 million US dollars, and the copyright is now less than 3 million US dollars and there is no need to talk about it at all, if Miao Hong negotiates well, it will not be a problem to become 5 million US dollars.

This is already the price of super copyright, and it is high for ordinary newcomers to give hundreds of thousands of dollars in film copyright fees, but for top writers such as Lin Han and JK Rowling, the copyright fee must also be paid, and the box office dividends and peripheral dividends must be paid!

"Gray's 50 Shades" (also known as Fifty Shades of Grey) also sold for $5 million in film rights, and it makes no sense that Lin Han would be worse than these writers, he has many novels, and the sales targets are all top-notch.

"The thing in front of us now is, how much liquidity can you come up with, boss. "Miao Hong actually only knows that Lin Han's royalties come from a lot of sources, and the sales momentum is also good, and the most important thing is that the proportion of contracts is very high, but he doesn't know Lin Han's specific assets!

"You can rest assured about the money, there is no problem with more than 10 million dollars. ”

Lin Han didn't say a big deal, he remembered that some time ago, when his novel sales were at their peak, he could make two million dollars a week!

Of course, $2 million is hard to sustain, but even if it falls, it won't become as low as making $100,000 a week.

Now the money Lin Han earns is not converted into RMB many times, he earns pounds in the UK, euros in Europe, and dollars in the United States, and it is actually more convenient to have these foreign currencies.

In fact, now the Galaxy company's stall is a bit big, and no substantive results have been made, the team that developed "Resident Evil" is a golden nest, and there are also "The Martian", "Jurassic Park", "Bouquet for Algernon" and many other projects are being launched at the same time, and the steps are really a bit big!

Now, if the negotiations with Lionsgate go well, then there will be another "I, Robot", which is getting bigger and bigger, and if there is a project that does not recoup its costs, it will be quite risky.

At this time, Lin Han finally realized the risk, and he said: "The next goal is to expand the rest of the copyright of my novel, and promote it to more countries and markets, not only to make movies and TV series, but also to try games, and try not to participate in investment as much as possible." ”

"I'm going to do that too, it's time to slow down a little bit. ”

Miao Hong realized that the Galaxy Group was not as big as Sony Pictures when he was in charge, it was just a newly established company, and it was not very profitable to roll out too many projects at the same time.

"Well, now these projects are enough for us to be busy until next year, take the opportunity to secretly teach more, making money is one thing, and we have to learn from them. ”

The two chatted for a while about the company's development before shifting the topic to nearby gossip.

Miao Hong said jokingly: "Boss, you are now entangled by Zhong Xuan's kraft candy, he only admitted defeat on Weibo before, saying that he can't write a better novel than "Red Rose and White Rose". And guess what?"

"He has admitted defeat, what else do you want?" Lin Han shrugged his shoulders and began to turn the pen with one hand, he didn't know the specific situation without looking at Weibo, so it shouldn't be a good thing to think about it.

"Zhong Xuan, he is not as good as the quality of the novel, but better than the sales!"

"The Time Traveler's Wife" has been completed for a long time, and the book number and sales time of the National People's Congress Publishing House have been determined, and it will be released nationwide on November 1.

In the case of the English version, Lin Han did not start translating it, but handed it over to the translator to do it, but it is expected that the translation will be completed before the end of the year, and it will definitely be released in February next year to meet overseas readers.

Lin Han doesn't know what Zhong Xuan's "Three Life Stones" is about, but in terms of sales, his opponent is only himself!

This year's book sales list has become the stage for Lin Han's performance, and almost 10 months have passed, of which 7 of the monthly sales champions belong to Lin Han, and in the 3 months when he did not win the championship, at least one novel remained in the top three.

As for the annual list, almost all the novels released during this year are on the list, and even "Resident Evil", which was scolded by professional critics, has sold more than three million copies in a few months!

There were still people who could compete with him for the first place in the annual sales list, but now the temporary leader is "Inception", followed by "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest", and "Hyperion" came from behind, surpassing Lin Han's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Resident Evil" in a row.

In terms of sales, if you want to shake Lin Han, unless it is his own great mistake, is the quality of "The Time Traveler's Wife" very poor?

You have to be blind to think so.,There were a lot of hot discussions during the serialization and after the book.,The prediction of this book is guaranteed to be 3 million copies!

"Since he wanted to die, no one stopped him. ”

Lin Han crossed Erlang's legs, his expression was very relaxed, he still thought it was something, Zhong Xuan was probably angry and had chosen a path that was the most unlikely to win!

Miao Hong also deeply agrees, it is not easy to see the birth of a legendary writer with his own eyes, and it is rare in the history of domestic literature to have such a strong domination of the sales list, as if Lin Han's book is the only one left in the market.

"In this situation, we don't have to do anything at all, and people with a little longer brains already hate this person. ”

Although Jong Hyun's goal has been achieved, as long as the recent news mentions "The Time Traveler's Wife", his "Three Lives Stone" will be mentioned, but this reputation is not positive at all, and now he is notorious!

Just as Lin Han and the two were chatting, Zhanlan Culture, the publisher of "Three Life Stones", also announced that the national release of the novel would be on November 1, officially fighting Lin Han.

After repeated defeats, they made it clear that the carriage and horse wanted to tie up with Lin Han, and use Lin Han's fame to increase the popularity and sales of their novels!

Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly walked in, and she said righteously: "We can't let their ideas succeed, otherwise any cat or dog will have to bombard you in the future, or forcibly touch the porcelain and tie your works together!"

"Relax, relax!" Lin Han hurriedly said, "You must not set this precedent, you must beat him and Zhanlan Culture down, lest there will be this writer and that publishing company in the future." Let's figure out a way, and then we will recalculate it with the National People's Congress Press. ”

"Maybe we can sign an exclusive sales contract with those distributors, for example, as long as you have your novel in this bookstore, you can't put his novel on the shelves. Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly suggested, she couldn't tolerate Lin Han always being provoked by a group of writers, could it be that she was really going to be bullied when she was young?

Who knew that Miao Hong shook his head, "First of all, it is impossible for a bookstore to do this, although Zhong Xuan is annoying, but the bookstore can also make some money from Zhong Xuan's books, this is to make the bookstore give up its own interests, which is very unrealistic." In addition, if this clause is exposed, Lin Han will be pointed out by thousands of people and become the target of accusations by other writers, and maybe there will be some laws and regulations. ”

"If their bookstore agrees not to sell Jonghyun's novels on the shelves, then Lin Han can hold a book signing session at this bookstore to help improve sales. As for the latter one, there are no laws and regulations at all, relying on the constraints of the industry itself. ”

Chen Jiaxuan knows such terms well, in the initial stage of releasing records in the entertainment industry, she was often used such tricks, and in the end, she directly used her family background to solve it!

Miao Hong and Chen Jiaxuan's goals were placed on Lin Han, only to see Lin Han snap his fingers and think for a moment, then shook his head firmly, "We can't do this kind of thing, what's the difference between us and them if we do it? ”

"Well, since you insist. ”

Chen Jiaxuan was a little disappointed, but at the same time a little relieved, fortunately Lin Han is not the kind of person who will not compromise in order to achieve his goal.

After walking out of the office building, Lin Han did not go home directly, but turned around and went to the bank, he had to see how much he was worth!

This may not be believed by others, where does someone not even know how much money they have, in fact, Lin Han is really like this, there are too many remittances every month, and in the absence of special supervision, all indicators are unknown.

In the VIP room, Lin Han looked at the string of money transactions he had printed, and he said to his girlfriend in surprise: "Before I knew it, I would become a billionaire?"

"Thanks to you, I have earned more than 10 million yuan, not to mention yourself. Chen Jiaxuan was not surprised at all, the literary agent contract she signed with Lin Han could guarantee her 10% of her income, and in some cases, she did not reach 10%.

The bank teller in the VIP room couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly after seeing the numbers on the card by chance, she obviously recognized Lin Hanlai, but she didn't expect that the famous writer's net worth was so high unconsciously!

In front of Lin Han, he had more than 130 million yuan balance alone, and foreign currencies such as US dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars, and Canadian dollars combined were almost 100 million, just 100 million dollars!

The domestic market is limited, even if there are more and more readers of science fiction, there is still a gap compared with the world, so Lin Han's overseas income is basically completely domestic.

The most important point is that because Lin Han pays the manuscript tax, he only needs to pay 14% of his income, and he does not need to pay personal income tax!

As long as the personal income tax exceeds 80,000 yuan, 45% must be paid, which is half of the income!

Therefore, Lin Han is equivalent to saving 31% of taxes and fees, which is why top writers are reluctant to revise the income tax on remuneration, saving such a big cut!
