This surprised Gao Leng

I have to admit that the Internet gods who became popular a few years ago or even ten years ago have a unique advantage in selling film and television copyrights, not only film and television copyrights, but they are often bought out with full copyright.

What is full copyright?

It is publishing copyright, film and television copyright, game copyright, etc., all the copyrights you can think of are packaged and sold, and the full copyright buyout is more expensive, and it is also a common practice in the industry, but there is a small insider here: many less famous authors have not sold all the copyrights, but they have also sold the film and television copyrights.

Why don't these less-than-famous authors, who only sell film and television copyrights, adapt themselves?

In fact, most of this film and television copyright is fake.

It's not that no one really buys it, but it's not the film and television company that buys the film and television copyright, but the copyright dealer. Copyright dealers, as the name suggests, are to buy the film and television copyrights of lesser-known authors at a very low price, not all copyrights, and if you become popular in the future, I will sell them to film and television companies at a high price, and if they are not popular, I will sell them at a low price.

If the full copyright needs millions, or at least more than one million, to be sold, the copyright dealer only needs film and television copyrights, which may require less than 100,000. Often, this kind of book that only sells film and television rights cannot be filmed immediately, and there is no possibility of asking the author to be the screenwriter of his own book.

Besides, if it is really the film and television company that bought the film and television copyright, it must also be bought by a small film and television company, and the large film and television companies are all bought out with full copyright, and it is impossible to only film and television, otherwise they will not be too lazy to talk to other copyright companies after shooting.

This is filmed, the paper must be a big seller, but the copyright is in the hands of others, just to make money for others, you can still adapt the anime, right? Therefore, if a large film and television company plans to shoot a certain book, it will buy all the other copyrights of the book, whether it is the publishing rights, game copyrights, or adaptation rights.

This is the full copyright buyout, after the shooting and broadcasting, it is convenient for all parties to fully launch and make a profit.

Basically, as long as you are the real god of the Internet, the copyright is sold in full copyright.

Then why are these gods who sell all copyrights unwilling to be screenwriters of their own books? They all say that film and television dramas destroy the original work, often the screenwriter changes too much, and there are many gods who are really powerful in the online literature industry, and there are many gods who sell all copyrights, why would they rather adapt their books into a piece of than write their own screenplays?

There are two reasons for this, one is that screenwriting is different from writing, and it is troublesome to write, and the second is money. In general, the trouble of adaptation is not a problem, the second is the most important: money.

In the empire, screenwriters don't have a lot of money, especially famous screenwriters are reluctant to adapt the Internet, and the money given by ordinary screenwriters is usually fifty or sixty thousand yuan per episode, ranging from one or two thousand words per episode, which is still the price of a general fairly good screenwriter, and unknown screenwriters are only one or two thousand episodes.

One or twenty thousand words has fifty or sixty thousand dollars, which seems to be easy for the well-known gods of the Internet who update tens of thousands of times a day, and they adapt their own, and they are familiar with writing by themselves, and they can make more money, why don't they adapt it themselves?

It's actually not as simple as it seems.

Screenwriting and writing are different in the first industry, it's not that the Internet gods can't write, although they are different, but they are the same, they are all playing with words.

What the gods don't want is that this episode is one or two thousand words, which needs to be revised again and again, annoying.

Write your own new, have the final say, write a chapter in an hour or two, upload things directly, more gods have their own studios, and they also have their own writers, and they don't even need to write by themselves, tell the synopsis of the story to the writer, and the writer finishes writing, just take a look at it yourself.

How hassle-free?

If you write your own screenplay, you may have to change it four or five times if you write one or two thousand words, and it will take a month for these four or five times. It's too much effort to update a chapter yourself.

Fifty or sixty thousand a month, a lot? Then you are wrong, the real god earns at least 10 million yuan a year, you go to calculate, the great god who earns 10 million a year will be willing to earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a month, and he will be called to change a manuscript by himself How many times?

Don't talk about the gods, let's just say that the top three of the best-selling list of a certain horizontal Chinese network, that is also 450,000 per month easily, which is still less, if you add a proper public account tip, 670,000 per month is the basic configuration.

In addition, if the full copyright is sold, it will be millions more per year.

How much does a point of Chinese cost?

At a certain point, it is a big station that forcibly pushes the daily income of the great god's book just by subscribing, and the highest can reach 100,000 yuan, except for the few lords who are about 100,000 yuan a day, and the top 30 are at least more than 10,000 per day, every day!

Adapting oneself every month is always changing, not to mention annoying, and it also affects oneself to write a new book, and influencing oneself to write a new book is equivalent to losing money.

At the end of the day, it's not cost-effective to pay for it.

But the film and television company can't give you more than 100,000 yuan a month, or a book adapted to you for millions of dollars, and you want to adapt your own, right? Besides, 50,000 or 60,000 yuan per episode is already the price in the industry, if you find a cheaper editor, you can get 10,000 or 20,000 yuan per episode, save more money?

Therefore, if the author really really wants his film to be done well, it is to adapt it himself, earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a month, and give up the new book.

Giving up a new book is a taboo for online authors, and giving up a new book is equivalent to cutting off their own financial routes, so they will not adapt it themselves.

Therefore, if there is a conscientious screenwriter on the Internet, then it's okay, the play is very good, if the film and television company has no money and finds a cheap screenwriter to adapt it for you, it will ruin the original work.

"This is really good, but the screenwriter is not easy to find, the well-known screenwriter is unwilling to change, the unknown screenwriter, this needs to be changed, if it is not changed, then it will not be filmed. The team leader sighed.

"Please change it for the author. Gao Leng thought for a while: "If the price increases, it must be much better for the author to change it, after all, he knows his own books best." ”

"This author is a woman, she has never shown up, I don't know if she is willing to change it, but the main thing is that I don't know if she has the ability to change. ”

High-quality TV series have extremely high requirements for screenwriters. It seems that this author has never had screenwriting experience, and the team leader is a little afraid to hand over the adaptation rights to this author.

Especially female authors.

"Female?" Gao Leng was a little surprised, this book is obviously a male frequency article, how could it be written by a female author?

"Yes, female. The team leader nodded affirmatively: "The author of this book is a woman. ”

This surprised Gao Leng, picked up the information in his hand again and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is obviously a male frequency article, but it is actually a female author, which is a bit interesting." ”
