Chapter 324 Novel Copyright Issues

Old K: "Zhefan, it's been three days, and I haven't replied to the message, I called you, but I can't get through, what's going on?" Don't let anything happen. However, according to the news, although something happened to you, people are still safe, I hope so! When you're back, you must report my safety as soon as possible. ”

Old K: "Zhefan, are you back?" I see that all the media say that if you come back today, you will fly directly from New York back to the capital, and you should have landed now, right? The company that wants to buy the copyright has raised the price again, and they said that they can increase it by another 5 million, and the film and television copyright fee will reach 20 million. This is already a new record for the price of royalties, and even the ghost blows the lamp is less than 20 million. ”

Zheng Zhefan looked at Lao K's information one by one, and said in his heart, it seems that someone really wants to buy the film and television copyright of "The History of a Mortal's Heavenly Court Struggle" at a high price.

For Zheng Zhefan, this is not a big deal.

It is also possible to sell the film and television rights of "The History of a Mortal's Heavenly Court Struggle".

He looked at it, and Lao K's latest message was sent half an hour ago, and he replied to Lao K: "Brother, I have returned to China safely, because my mobile phone was lost in the United States, and I can't replace the card, so the mobile phone has not worked, and I haven't read the information on QQ, and the reply is late." Regarding the film and television copyright of my book, I think the price of 20 million is okay, but if not, you can sign an agreement with the other party to sell it. ”

It didn't take long for his message to be sent to Lao K, and Lao K quickly replied with a message.

"Zhefan, you finally replied to the message, it's really torturous, I've been waiting for your reply for a long, long time, I thought it was so long ago." Old K said.

"Haha! Not that exaggerated, right? Zheng Zhefan responded.

"It's true, it's really painful, because the other company's urging is also urgent, especially after you become famous in the United States, they are even more anxious, what do they say, as long as you sign the agreement, you are ready to make a movie about the story of this book first, and the actors are ready to decide, it is those very popular little fresh meat, one by one the characters in your book, they think that your book must be very popular when made into a movie, and maybe it can be popular all over the world." Old K said.

"Slow work and meticulous work, filming in such a hurry, I think they want to borrow my popularity, right?" Zheng Zhefan expressed his skepticism.

"Avatar" took more than two years to complete, greatly exceeding the filming budget, and the production cost was as high as more than 200 million US dollars.

The TV series "Journey to the West" was filmed for 6 years.

Good film and television works are generally carefully crafted.

In this way, the classics can be achieved.

And China's film and television companies are now generally losing patience, they all want to make quick money, and rush to catch up with the show, so that the works are shoddy and miserable.

Looking at many film and television dramas now, it really makes people feel disgusting.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Zhefan will question.

His own writing can be described as a classic of online writing. If the movie made is shoddy and unbearable, how can he be embarrassed?

"That's right, they do want to borrow your popularity, and they also say that the book has a wide readership now, and there are a lot of die-hard readers, there are millions of die-hard readers, and if these die-hard readers buy tickets to watch the movie, it can generate a billion dollars at the box office. Coupled with your current reputation in the world, it is likely that you can also distribute to many countries around the world, and you can make a lot of money. Because of this, they still want to make the movie a big production, otherwise they wouldn't invite those high-cost little fresh meat to star. Old K said.

Zheng Zhefan pondered.

He was thinking, perhaps, I can win the film and television copyright of "The History of a Mortal's Heavenly Court Struggle" by myself, direct and act by myself, and play film and television entertainment.

Now, when it comes to painting, he's been able to play to the extreme.

It's a good time to break new ground.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhefan said with a smile: "Brother, copyright, I decided to buy it myself and do it myself, the copyright price is still 20 million, I will pay 30% of the website in proportion, do you think it's okay?" ”

According to the previous agreement with Qidian, Zheng Zhefan has the right to take back the copyright and operate it himself, but he has to pay a proportional fee to the website.

"Huh? Are you kidding? Lao K was very taken aback by Zheng Zhefan's words.

"No kidding, I really have this plan." Zheng Zhefan said.

"Zhefan, it's a lot of trouble to make film and television dramas, you do it yourself, and it's not too professional, why don't you leave professional things to professional people to do?" Old K persuaded.

"I plan to set up my own film and television company, recruit a vote, and make a little famous, China's film and television industry, I think there are a lot of problems now, and I am willing to use my own efforts to break out a better way." Zheng Zhefan replied.

"In that case, well, let's sign the copyright sales agreement as soon as possible." Old K said.

"Cheng, did I go over to look for you, or did you send someone over to talk?" Zheng Zhefan asked.

"Let's send somebody. What about tomorrow? Tomorrow, if you can, a colleague from our copyright management department will visit you. Old K said.

"Yes, you can let them come." Zheng Zhefan said.

"Zhefan, do you have any plans to open a new book in the near future? I read your book review section, and there are hundreds of reader comments every day, all urging you to open a new book. Old K mentioned the new book again.

"Dude, the matter of the new book, I can't open it for the time being, I have too many things, let's take it a while." Zheng Zhefan said.

"When it's past the Spring Festival and the spring flowers are blooming, it should be okay, right?" Old K said again.

Zheng Zhefan scratched his head.

Actually, he didn't want to continue writing. He's lost interest in online writing a bit.

He hesitated, but decided to tell the truth: "Dude, perhaps, I won't write in the future." ”

Lao K actually thought of this possibility.

However, he still persuaded bitterly: "Zhefan, you have such a good talent, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't write?" Moreover, how disappointed you will be if you don't write so many readers who are waiting for you to open a new book! I think that if you continue to write, you are quick to think and write quickly, and it will not affect your other work at all. No matter how you say it, online writing can be regarded as literary art, and it is much higher than the gold content and forced style of online live broadcast, I think it would be better if you gave up the live broadcast and persevered in writing. ”

Zheng Zhefan smacked his lips.

He replied, "Dude, I'm really, I'm not interested in writing anymore, I'm sorry." Besides, I'll stop the live broadcast as well. Maybe one day I'll rewrite it, but it's not possible anytime soon. I can't lie to you. ”
