"Come, Dongguo, let's sit inside and introduce someone to you. ”

When he arrived at the place where he had supper, Dong Guo Yao was about to sit down with everyone, but was stopped by Song Yicong.

Although Dong Guo Yao knew in his heart that Song Yicong didn't have any good intentions, he didn't say anything, and followed Song Yicong to the private room inside.

Song Yicong pushed open the door, and Dong Guo Yao saw a middle-aged woman of about forty-five or sixteen years old sitting inside, with a melon seed face, short hair, and wearing an off-white suit, a typical working woman.

Dong Guo Yao frowned and turned his head to look at Song Yicong.

Seeing Dong Guo Yao looking at him with some doubts, Song Yicong hurriedly said: "Come, Dong Guo, let me introduce to you, this is my lover Li Ailian, the president of Jiangzhou Literature and Art Publishing House." ”

Dongguo Yaowenyan instantly understood Song Yicong's idea in his heart, this guy wants to eat the copyright of his "Passing by Your World".

"Hello, you're Dongguo, right? Your 'City Night Homecoming' is really good, especially which song in this issue, "The World's Farthest Distance", is simply written great. ”

Li Ailian stepped forward with a smile on her face, and while praising Dong Guo Yao, she stretched out her hand to him.

"Hello, good luck. Dong Guo Yao shook her hand as he spoke.

"Okay, since it's all my own people, then let's get straight to the point, I listened to your 'City Night Homecoming' tonight and think the story of "Passing by Your World" is good, and after hearing that you still have dozens of short stories, our publishing house thinks that if these small stories can be combined into a book, the market prospect should be good, so we want to invite you to publish a book, what do you think. Li Ailian asked.

When Dong Guo Yao heard this, he thought that this appearance was inevitably a little too ugly, the two husbands and wives were embarrassed, not only wanted to embezzle the film adaptation rights of the story "Passing by Your World", but also didn't even want to let go of the story of his entire book.

However, Dong Guo Yao does have plans to publish a book, although he is a little disgusted by the two of them, but he still said: "Okay, I just want to make a collection." ”

He thought to himself, as long as the price is reasonable, other copyrights can be held in his own hands, and it is not impossible to hand over the publishing rights of "Passing by Your World" to Jiangzhou Literature and Art Publishing House.

"That's great. Li Ailian and Song Yicong glanced at each other, and a triumphant smile appeared imperceptibly in their eyes.

"I don't know what kind of price your literary publishing house can give to "Passing by Your World"?"

Since people went straight to the point, Dong Guo Yao was too lazy to be polite, and was directly ready to talk to Li Ailian about the publication price.

"Price. Li Meilian pondered for a moment and said, "How about I give you two thousand for a story?"

When Dong Guo Yao heard this, he was silent.

Seeing that Dongguo Yao was silent, Song Yicong spoke: "Dongguo, you have to think about it, two thousand for a story is not low, it is almost worth a month's salary." ”

"Director, I know, but you should also know that the film adaptation rights of the story "Passing by Your World" alone should be no less than seven figures, and giving me 2,000 for this story is like selling me dozens of stories, which is too ......."

Dong Guo Yao didn't continue, he believed that even if he didn't say Song Yicong, he knew what he wanted to express.

He just wanted to tell Song Yicong and his wife that Lao Tzu is not a fool, one story is two thousand, you can stay where it is cool.

"Dongguo, you must know that the copyright of the story "Passing by Your World" is now in the station, and the contract is clearly written, and the copyright of the program materials used by the anchor belongs to the radio station. In this way, if you are willing to hand over the copyright of the entire book "Passing by Your World" to us, we will give you an additional 50,000 yuan for the film adaptation fee, you can consider it. Song Yicong's words were ordinary, but the threat was obvious, he was warning Dong Guo Yao in disguise, if you don't agree, then you don't want to get any money for "Passing by Your World".

"Two thousand in one story, it's too low. Dong Guo Yao said.

"Huh. ”

When Song Yicong heard this, he snorted coldly, and was about to say something, when Li Ailian hurriedly spoke: "That's good, we can also sign according to the number of words, and we will give it to you...... What do you think of five hundred words?" Li Ailian gritted her teeth, as if she had made a difficult decision.

"Does 500 words refer only to simplified publishing rights, or does it include a series of copyrights such as film and television adaptations?" Dong Guo Yao said.

Li Ailian didn't expect Dong Guo Yao to understand this, she originally wanted to deliberately say the price of 500 words directly, and wanted to directly win the full copyright of the book "Passing by Your World" at a high price, but she didn't want Dong Guo Yao to shatter his dream with a word.

"500 words is quite a high price, of course, it is all copyrighted. Song Ailian said.

"Full copyright is impossible. ”

As soon as he heard that the copyright was full, Dong Guo Yao directly refused.

Because he knows how much value "Passing by Your World" can derive, he wants to keep the copyrights of film and television, audiobooks, e-books and other copyrights to make a lot of money.

Five hundred words seems very high, but that's just compared to other novels, if you want to buy the full copyright at the price of "Passing by Your World", it is tantamount to an idiot's dream, how could Dong Guo Yao agree.

Hearing that Dong Guo Yao refused directly without thinking about it, Li Meilian was quite surprised, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Don't refuse in a hurry, we still have a plan, that is, you will grant us the exclusive text publishing right of "Passing by Your World", and our Yellow River Publishing House enjoys the exclusive publishing right of "Passing by Your World", so that the other copyrights are still in your hands, but the price will be much lower than the full copyright." ”

"What does exclusive copyright mean?" Dong Guo Yao asked for the first time when he heard this concept.

"Exclusive right of publication simply means that within the term of the exclusive right of publication agreed in the contract, other publishing houses can no longer exercise the right of publication of "Passing by Your World", that is, the right of reproduction and distribution as stipulated in Article 10 (5) and (6) of the Copyright Law. Li Meilian said.

"How long is this period, and what is the region?" asked Dong Guo Yao.

"The term is generally ten years, of course, the specific details can be negotiated and revised, and the regional is the domestic simplified Chinese publication. Li Meilian spoke.

"What about the price?" asked Dong Guo Yao the question he was most concerned about.

"There are three price schemes, one is a buyout, I can give you 200 words for your book; the other is a buyout plus share, that is, you are given a guaranteed buyout price, and then the rest of the manuscript fee is divided according to the sales of your book; the last is a simple share, that is, you get as much as the book sells. ”

"How exactly is the buyout plus share divided. ”

"If you buy out and add a share, I can give you a buyout of 16 thousand words plus an 8% share for this book. Li Meilian said.

"It's too low, isn't it?" Dongguo Yao frowned when he heard this.

"It's low, it's not low, you have to know that top writers like Zhang Ming and them are only 10% of the price before tax. Hearing that Dong Guo Yao actually said that the 8% share was a bit low, Li Meilian immediately retorted.

She didn't lie to Dong Guo Yao, under normal circumstances, the normal royalty of novel publishing is about 6%, and the royalty rate of a famous artist may be 10% or 12%, but that is a famous artist after all.

If it weren't for the story of "Passing by Your World" Zhang Dai Studio's bid was so high, they wouldn't have chatted so much with Dong Guo Yao, and they would have started copyright negotiations directly with Zhang Dai Studio.

Although Dong Guo Yao didn't know who Zhang Ming was, it seemed that the 8% share was not low when he heard Li Meilian's words, and he didn't know much about the modified world, so he continued: "Oh, that's the case? Okay, let's sign a buyout and add a share, but the price has to be increased." ”

"Okay, two hundred words in a thousand words, plus an 8% sales share, can you accept it?"

"Isn't it a little less?" Dongguo Yao said again when he heard this.

"Then how much do you want?" asked Li Meilian directly.

"Six hundred words per thousand, plus 9% of the sales share, if you can, we will sign the contract now. Dong Guo Yao said.
