The contract for the work of Inspur Reading has a total of ten pages, involving many specific clauses and very detailed, basically covering all the copyright projects of an IP, and at the same time stipulating the rights and obligations of both parties, which is impeccable at the legal level.

Lu Chen mainly looks at the terms of copyright, generally speaking, the rights and interests of this contract are divided into five or five, and the website and the author account for half each, such as subscription, reward, derivative copyright and so on.

If Lu Chen signs this contract, then in addition to publishing, 50% of the copyright income of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be owned by Inspur Reading.

Lu Chen didn't feel any surprise at such a contract clause, he has now tested the waters in the online literary circle, and has a little understanding of the situation in the online literary circle, knowing that most of the websites are similar in terms of contracts, and there is no essential difference.

Only when you become a top author can you have the right to negotiate a contract with the website.

In fact, this is similar to the entertainment industry, and the artists who signed with the entertainment agency were much harsher at the beginning of the contract.

This is normal, capital always has to make a profit, there is no free lunch in the world, the website provides platform resources, it is natural to seek profit returns, otherwise how can it be worthy of investors?

But understanding is understanding, Lu Chen will not sign this contract.

His positioning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and subsequent martial arts works is a big IP, and it is impossible to divide major interests in order to gain a foothold in the online literature circle.

So Lu Chen looked at this contract, just to see a new one: Editor An, I have already read the contract, and it is very different from what I expected, so I don't plan to sign it, thank you.

This answer is obviously a bit unexpected by the other party: Can you tell us more about it?

Lu Chen: I won't give away the copyrights of film and television games, so I'm sorry.

An Xin: That's a pity, I've read your book "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it's really well written, and now it has a certain readership, but only after signing the contract can you get the website's recommended resources, in fact, film and television copyrights, etc., can only have value after the book becomes popular, can you understand what I said?

Lu Chen: I understand, but I'm sorry.

The editor of Inspur Reading was silent for a few minutes, and then said, "Well, if you change your mind, you can always ask me to sign up again."

Lu Chen felt that this editor was quite good, and he didn't get angry after being rejected, and he seemed very personable.

But the website she represented was adamant that the contract was not negotiable.

"Remembering the Present and the Ancients" is an unknown author, and there are thousands of the same authors, as one of the top online literature websites in China, it is strange that Inspur Reading is willing to modify the contract for him!

Of course, if Lu Chen shows his true figure, then it is estimated that all the conditions will be easy to say.

He asked: If I don't sign a contract, can the book continue to be updated?

An Xin: Of course, no problem, goodbye.

Ending the conversation with the editor of Inspur Reading, Lu Chen smiled dumbly.

Thinking about his original idea, he was still a little naïve, in fact, such a result should have been expected, but it didn't matter much, it was just an experience to satisfy curiosity, and it had no impact on his big IP plan.

Lu Chen uploaded all the manuscripts saved in the past few days to the draft box and set up automatic updates.

Since I have chosen the publishing platform of Inspur Reading, I will continue to send it, and it is not too late to promote it after accumulating enough words, at least it is worthy of the 2687 readers who collected "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

And the tips they support.

On July 5, Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er left Haijin and went to Hangzhou with the crew of "Full House of Romance".

Hangzhou is the second stop for the promotion of the new drama.

In the next half a month, they will travel to most of China, trying their best to retreat this urban romantic comedy into the vast market.

On July 15, Shonan Satellite TV's summer drama "Boundless Sea of Love" premiered in prime time in the evening.

On July 16, Lu Chen returned to the capital after finishing the publicity activities.

"The ratings of "The Boundless Sea of Love" are out"

In the studio, Lu Xi placed a thin piece of printer paper in front of Lu Chen, who had just returned.

Her expression was a little solemn.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't it good?"

Lu Xi said angrily: "You see for yourself, there is pressure now, right?"

My sister was annoyed that Lu Chen didn't discuss with her before, and said in front of reporters that the ratings of "Full House of Romance" would reach a maximum of 4%, which made the studio more or less fall into a passive situation.

Lu Chen said too much, and the pressure on the studio was great.

And Lu Xi also felt that the target of 4% was set too high - this is to break a new record!

Now that the most powerful opponent has taken the lead, my sister can't help but worry about how it will end up in the future.

She really wanted to knock Lu Chen's head with her mobile phone and ask if your kid got carried away?

Now that the premiere ratings of "The Boundless Sea of Love" have come out, he still doesn't care about laughing heartlessly, which really makes Lu Xi angry!

Lu Chen made a gesture of surrender, and then picked up the printer paper.

The ratings of the first episode of "The Boundless Sea of Love" were 1.35%, the second episode was 1.43%, and the average rating of the two episodes was 1.39%!

Such ratings are quite dazzling, and they also exceeded Lu Chen's expectations.

No wonder Lu Xi has such a look.

In fact, the number of TV dramas produced in China every year is huge, most of which can be on the screen, and the ratings are generally between 0.1% and 1%, and breaking 1% is already considered a success.

With an average rating of 1.39% for the two episodes, "The Vast Sea of Love" can be described as a preemptive and a big start!

You must know that the ratings of the first and second episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" last year were only 0.22% and 0.26%.

Although the publicity momentum of Shonan Satellite TV in the early stage was very large, and this TV series also gathered a large number of stars, it is inevitable that there will be high ratings, but I didn't expect it to be so high.

Lu Chen does not doubt the authenticity of the ratings of "The Boundless Sea of Love", because the investigation of the ratings of domestic TV programs was independently completed by the New Vision Company under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which belongs to a state-owned third-party authority, and its authenticity is beyond doubt.

Now the pressure on the premiere of "Full House of Romance" is great, because on the 22nd, "The Boundless Sea of Love" will continue to broadcast the third and fourth episodes, competing with "Full House of Romance" for ratings.

The only advantage of "Full House of Romance" is that it was premiered by Beijing Satellite TV and Zhedong Satellite TV at the same time, which can increase the comprehensive ratings to a certain extent, but in the face of a fierce opponent, it still feels very suspenseful.

Lu Xi frowned and said: "We still have a week to discuss with other companies and increase investment in publicity, so we have to suppress their momentum!"

If it is better than the early publicity, "Full House of Romance" is worse than "The Vast Sea of Love", and now it is considered a remedy.

Lu Chen thought for a while, shook his head categorically and said, "No need, it's enough for us to maintain the current rhythm." ”

He, Chen Feier and the crew of "Full House of Romance" have gone to seven major cities in China for publicity in the past half a month, and they have invested a lot of advertising in traditional media and new media, and their budgets are about to be overrun.

The publicity in the early stage is already sufficient, and if you want to achieve better results, you have to at least double the investment.

That's more than worth the loss.

Moreover, TV dramas are different from movies, TV series are serialized for a long time, and the importance of audience word-of-mouth is more important than publicity.

Lu Chen believes in the quality of "Full House of Romance", so why bother to fight to the death with Shonan Satellite TV in publicity.

The one who can have the last laugh is the winner!

But Shonan Satellite TV's thinking is obviously completely different from Lu Chen's, and after the first two episodes of "The Boundless Sea of Love" got high ratings, they immediately launched a new propaganda offensive.

Hu Yang, the star of "The Boundless Sea of Love", immediately updated his blog, with the title "1.39%", and released a photo of him opening champagne in the hotel and celebrating with friends.

At the same time, Hu Yang interacted frequently with other actors in this drama, and his pride was beyond words!

In contrast, Lu Chen's blog fell into a brief silence.

This can't help but give people an illusion, as if "Full House of Romance" and "The Vast Sea of Love", the duel between Lu Chen, Xiangnan Satellite TV and Hu Yang has already been decided! ――

The first more is sent, asking for subscription support. (To be continued.) )
