Chapter 88 [Selling the Rights of Novels and Fairy Tales!]

Jingcheng Radio.

"Director Jia. "The secretary came in.

Deputy Director Jia lowered his head and was busy with his work, "What's the matter?"

The secretary smiled: "I heard that Zhang Ye is interviewing the host of the TV station, and he has already submitted a lot of resumes to the TV stations in various provinces and cities." ”

Deputy Director Jia smiled, "He still wants to go to the TV station?"

The secretary said: "Yes, as far as I know, the other party has called him back, and no one wants him." ”

"Okay, I know the way. Deputy Director Jia asked the secretary to go back, and said that of course no one would accept him, because whether it was him or the director, he had already greeted his friends in the industry, although they were not as good as the TV station, but they also had a lot of contacts, maybe a person with poor conditions could not let the TV station or radio station hire them after saying hello, but a person whose conditions were not particularly good They said hello, but they could definitely let the peer unit not want this person, they can still do it!

This is called blocking!

As soon as "Dead Water" came out, Beijing Radio Station was already inseparable from Zhang Ye!

……

A full day.

Zhang Ye has no gain, every time he sends a resume to apply, the other party doesn't even give him a chance to interview, the reply is very fast, and he denies it without looking at it, it is definitely impossible to say that people don't know him, the general applicant has submitted a resume, even if you don't need it, you will definitely have to delay a few days before replying, some even drag on for a month or two, but there is no such thing for Zhang Ye, it can be said that it is basically a "second reply". Some people reply very politely, and some people don't speak politely, and there are emails that directly say "no one wants you"!

Finished!

The plan is in vain!

Dude is now a suspicion of all people?

After trying a few more times and still didn't work, Zhang Ye didn't have a rut, his stubborn temper came up all of a sudden, paralyzed, the TV and radio industry collectively banned me, right? Okay, do you really think that I can't live without you? Do you really think that I can only be famous by relying on you?

Zhang Ye immediately adjusted the short-term plan, the TV station must be entered, this is the only way and an important channel for his future development, but now the situation has changed, Zhang Ye has to make temporary adjustments, he is ready to put the TV station in the next step, this step He wants to first put the one thing that has been planned for a long time to be temporarily put on the schedule in advance, waiting for "Dead Water" The negative impact is slowly wearing, and being idle these days is also idle, of course Zhang Ye will not be stupid, otherwise his popularity will be lost every day, so he has to retain his popularity and make some money by the way.

I made a call to Xiao Fang, a former assistant at the radio station.

Toot toot, it's done.

"Hey, Xiaofang, I'm your brother Zhang. ”

"I know Mr. Zhang, I have your number. ”

"Are you off work?"

"Not yet, I'm sorting out the papers, and it's estimated that I'll have to work overtime until eight o'clock. ”

"That's the case, I have something to do with you, the last time a publishing house contacted our radio station to publish my "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", do you know about it? I didn't agree at the time, and the publishing house also skipped me directly, or the station leader deliberately did not let them contact me, what about me now, I want to find the phone number of this publishing house, I have already left the unit, and it is inconvenient to ask, and I can't ask if I ask, can you help me check?"

"Hey, I can't find this either, so I'll ask you someone else secretly, see if your colleagues are clear, just know what publishing house Lu Dao is, right?"

"Yes, Zhilu Dao Publishing House is also fine. ”

"Okay, then I'll do it now, you wait for my news. ”

"I'm sorry for your trouble, Xie Luxie, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around. ”

Putting down the phone, Zhang Ye lit a cigarette and waited.

After about twenty minutes, Xiao Fang's phone call came back, and she was very neat, or she was very concerned about Zhang Ye's affairs, "Hehe, Mr. Zhang, I asked, you take notes, the phone is 53276172, it is the Beijing Education Publishing House, one of the largest publishing houses in the capital, although they mainly publish some official books and works, but they also make commercial books." ”

Zhang Ye wrote it down and said busily: "Thank you so much." ”

Xiaofang whispered: "You don't have to thank me, in fact, it is Mr. Tian Bintian who knows that you need this, so he asked me to tell you, after all, he has been the anchor of "Late Night Ghost Story" before, contact the author, contact the publishing house, he is responsible, he knows best, uh, but Mr. Tian won't let me tell you that this phone number was given to you by him, I know everything with you, don't sell me." ”

Zhang Ye was stunned and said, "Tian Bin, he's so kind, and he still doesn't want you to tell me?"

Xiao Fang sighed, "After you leave, Mr. Tian's life is not easy, you don't know what to do, yesterday the station has removed Mr. Tian's position as the anchor of "Ghost Stories in the Night", and let him host the class, and there is no post." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Ye wondered: "Can't, didn't I let him get back on when I went down?"

Xiaofang explained: "It's because of Jia Yan, isn't Jia Yan's new column "Flying Youth" aired eight or nine episodes, except for the very high listening rate of the first issue, it is getting lower and lower, in fact, the first issue is also due to the popularity of your "Old and Young Story Club" to have that kind of listening rate, not the normal level, and now the shortcomings of the program have been exposed, and yesterday's listening rate was only 0. 46%, I heard that it will be cut off soon, so the above transferred Jia Yan to "Late Night Ghost Story", as long as your "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is finished, Jia Yan will replace it, after all, the supernatural novels of tomb robbery are very popular now, and there are also many excellent works that follow your trend on the market, as long as you buy a copyright, you can use the heat to increase the listening rate, the station is obviously paving the way for Jia Yan, giving him qualifications, Mr. Tian...... Naturally, he fell victim. ”

Zhang Ye frowned and said, "Lao Tian is so miserable?"

"Alas, your song "Dead Water" didn't wake them up, and now the station is getting more and more chaotic, anyway, I heard that Mr. Tian has handed over his resignation report, and he should leave today and tomorrow. Xiao Fang said.

The phone hung up.

Zhang Ye sat on the bed and listened to the fact that the former enemy had fallen into this field, he was not a little happy in his heart, but he was still very uncomfortable!

Let's put this thing aside.

Zhang Ye made this call according to the number Tian Bin gave him, but he didn't get through the first time, maybe the other party was a little busy, and he got through the second time.

"Hey, who's who?" the other party was a middle-aged man.

Zhang Ye said: "Hello, I am Zhang Ye, the original author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I heard that your publisher wants to talk about copyright publishing?

The middle-aged man was stunned, "You are the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

Zhang Ye smiled: "Hehe, it's me, it's like a fake." ”

"Hey, but don't you sell copyrights?" the middle-aged man wondered.

Zhang Ye said: "I never said that you got the information from my unit, right? The unit has not informed me, I don't know what they said, and I have left my job now." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was very excited, "Oh, that's great, we've been worrying about how to talk about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but your unit has not let go, it's easy to find you, Mr. Zhang Ye, this matter is my responsibility, you can talk to me about copyright, do you want to take royalty share or do you want to buy out the simplified publishing copyright at one time?"

"What's the price?" asked Zhang Ye.

Middle-aged humane: "If the royalties are normal, we are all a ruler, look at the sales share, if it is a buyout, we quoted you two million radio stations at the beginning, of course, this is just the beginning, and now "Ghost Blows the Lamp" The influence in the market is getting bigger and bigger, and the response is also very enthusiastic, many people are looking forward to being able to publish physical books, just say that a few of the current imitation and follow your tomb robbery novels, and the sales have also reached hundreds of thousands, I don't say that you should be able to understand, and I don't hide it from you, so the rating of your work must be higher, well, so let's be the master, we don't count it according to how much a thousand words are, the price is four million, we only need the simplified publishing copyright, and the other copyrights are still yours, how about it?"

"It's a bit low, isn't it?" Zhang Ye was not satisfied with his tone, but in fact, he couldn't be happier, obediently, four million? How much instant noodles is enough for him to buy!

But think about it, it's not much, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" sold crazy in his world, and he doesn't know the exact number the author gets, but it should be more than four million.

The middle-aged man paused and said, "Teacher Zhang, I don't know what your expectations are, but please believe me, the only one who is willing to pay four million to buy the copyright of a book is our Beijing Education Publishing House, and it just so happens that this year, our funds are more flexible, and we have changed to other publishing houses, absolutely no one dares to bet like this, in case the sales are not good......

Zhang Ye interrupted: "The sales volume can already be expected, isn't it? Follow the trend of my works are all selling like this, if "Ghost Blows the Lantern" comes out, the sales will definitely be several times higher than theirs! I think you should know the market better than me. ”

The middle-aged man said: "But your program has been published on the radio, and many people have listened to it, so this aspect will also discount sales." ”

, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was first released on his side, but it was on the Internet, and there are still few people who have seen it? But I haven't seen low sales after publication!

There was a bit of bargaining.

Zhang Ye bid six million.

And the other party can only give a maximum of 4.8 million, which is a lot.

After the last time, he couldn't talk about it, and the middle-aged man pondered for a while, and said: "That's it, Mr. Zhang, six million is fine, but you want to sell us the publishing rights of your "Little Rabbit Obediently", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Wizard of Oz", we are an educational publishing house, and we do this ourselves, and we can make a booklet with illustrations, and each story can be made and distributed, a total of six million!" Obviously, they have already understood Zhang Ye, and have done a survey on his fairy tales, and know the value of those stories!

"Fairy tales don't include overseas copyrights, right?"

"Khan, not included, is also a domestic simplified, overseas publication...... We don't have that ability either. "The middle-aged man said that your vision is big enough, and you are already thinking about selling fairy tales abroad?

Zhang Ye calculated, the price was okay, "Okay." ”

"Okay, because I'm in a hurry, let's meet now, shall we sign the contract?" The middle-aged man said: "I am also a loyal listener of your "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I think this novel seems to be over in the end, so after signing the contract, we will send a lawyer's letter to Beijing Radio Station to stop broadcasting "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the audio copyright is in your hands, right?"

"Yes, the copyright is all mine. Zhang Ye said.

"That's it, if you wait for the broadcast to finish, there will be no suspense, it will definitely affect sales, since you have left your job, I think you have no opinion on stopping the broadcast, right?"

"Of course not, you just need to contact us. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this to us, then I'll draw up a contract right away!"

The talks were completed, and both sides were happy.

It is said that the price of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is indeed not particularly high, it can only be said to be reluctant, but Zhang Ye knows very well that the sales myth of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in his world is not created in a short time, but a long-term process, one year, two years, three years, are all accumulated sales, and the six million bought out by the publishing house was given in one breath at the time, considering inflation and other factors, Zhang Ye did not lose at all, and this is just a simplified copyright, not a game, Movies and the like, so he was very satisfied.

Sign the contract.

Talk about details and publicity.

……

Early the next morning.

Deputy Director Jia just came to work at the radio station, and before he could enter the office, the secretary hurriedly ran over, "Director Jia, something is wrong, the Beijing Education Publishing House has sent us a lawyer's letter, asking our radio station to stop broadcasting "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" immediately, otherwise they will sue us for infringement!"

"Infringement?" Deputy Director Jia said angrily: "Our program, what rights are infringing!"

The secretary smiled bitterly: "But, but the novel was originally created by Zhang Ye, and he did not authorize it to us, the lawyer's letter is now with the director, and I heard that it also has Zhang Ye's signature on it." ”

Deputy Director Jia's anger soared, "What is this Xiao Zhang going to do? Ah? We stopped the show after it has been on the air for so long? How do you explain it to the audience?"

The secretary sighed, "But legally, we are indeed ......"

The office phone rang, and Deputy Director Jia walked a few steps to pick it up, "Hey, oh, Director...... What? It's really off the air? But how can this stop! The story isn't over yet...... But...... Okay, I know the truth, I'll tell you to go down...... You can rest assured. ”

Taili didn't want to lose money in a lawsuit, so the director compromised!

Deputy Director Jia hated it so much, this Zhang Ye! Everyone is gone, and the ghost is still lingering, isn't it?

It is true that they blocked Zhang Ye, and Deputy Director Jia naively thought that Zhang Ye would not be able to get on the stage in his life, and he would fall silent in obscurity, such a big "ban order", what waves could he set off without the show? But Deputy Director Jia and they only now understand one thing in hindsight, they may be able to suppress Zhang Ye in the broadcasting system, but they are completely helpless in other fields!

Publishing?

They can't block it if they want to!

And Zhang Ye not only has the ability to be a radio host! He also has the ability to create! He also has his own novels and fairy tales! Jumping out of the circle of the broadcasting system, Deputy Director Jia angrily found that Zhang Ye can still mix well! This made him very annoyed and helpless!
