Yulong Group.
Left man's office.
A paper contract is placed on the coffee table, and a crystal ashtray is placed next to it. Two men sit on the couch and smoke cigarettes. A woman sat silently on the sidelines.
"Hu Ge, I can't believe it, the first and second parts of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" have been written? You sent me the electronic version last night, and I saw it at four o'clock in the morning, and there were still 20,000 words left unfinished, so I was reluctant to read it, so I kept it. Zuo Danan looked at Hu Yifan, who was smoking, and said.
At this moment, Hu Yifan has more and more beards and longer hair, although he is decadent, he is more like an artist.
"Brother, I'm better than you, I'm done. When was the lower part written? How many are there? Zuo Feifei looked at Hu Ge expectantly.
Hu Yifan shook his head with a smile: "I don't know." However, the outline has been set early, there are nine in total, the seven-star King Lu, and the sand of the Angry Sea, just the first and second parts, and it is estimated that there will be a total of 1.5 million words in the finale. ā
"If the following parts are written, I hope you can still sell me the copyright." Zuo Da Nan said.
Hu Yifan didn't speak, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said, "These two must be sold to Yulong, because this is what I owe you and Feifei." ā
"As for the manuscript fee, why don't you settle the word count? At present, the simplified Chinese publication fee is relatively famous, and 1000 words per thousand words is not bad. The two have a total of 170,000 words, which is 170,000, which is not low, why do you want royalties? Zuo Danan said with a smile.
Hu Yifan said in his heart, tomb robbery notes, a myth in the publishing industry, sold 12 million copies in 9 years and 9 copies! For a cow book of this level, a thousand words are not as good as royalties. What is royalty, which is the unit price of a book multiplied by a certain percentage and then multiplied by the number of books sold or printed.
"Hehe, let's take the royalties, I don't want to be too high, 8% is fine, as for the number of printing, the first printing of 100,000 copies."
In this world, the current royalty rate is 5%-10%, and according to the results of tomb robbery, it can definitely reach 10%.
"Okay, so how do you set the price for each one?" Zuo Da Nan said.
Hu Yifan thought about it, and the previous price seemed to be more than 30 yuan, and said, "Let's set it at 30 yuan a piece." ā
Zuo Danan was a little surprised, "It's set so high, can it be sold well?" ā
Hu Yifan said: "It's not high, it's okay." If it is the ninth finale, the price of 40 is easy to sell. ā
Zuo Feifei wrenched his hands and counted: "If the two 100,000 copies are sold out, the manuscript fee you can get is close to 500,000!" ā
Hu Yifan smiled: "Almost." As for the live broadcast copyright of 500,000, the copyright of TV series is 600,000, and the film copyright is 900,000, which is too low. ā
Zuo Feifei pouted: "I also feel low, my brother is very picky." ā
Zuo Danan smiled: "Then how many contracts do you say?" ā
Hu Yifan smiled: "All copyrights are 5 years. Although Mr. Zuo, you are good to me, I shouldn't open my mouth, but for example, live broadcast copyright, I heard that you took 30 million in advertising fees, is it too low to give me 500,000? ā
Zuo Danan glared at Zuo Feifei, and said in his heart, this little traitor.
"Ahem, then you can make a price." Zuo Da Nan said.
Now that advertisers have signed contracts, they are urging, and the live broadcast copyright must be taken down.
"The copyright of the live broadcast is 1 million, the copyright of the TV series is 2 million, and the copyright of the film is 3 million." Hu Yifan said seriously.
"Isn't it a bit much?" Zuo Danan said with a smile.
"Not much. I don't believe that your TV series advertising endorsements will be much less than live broadcasts, as for movies, the box office should be around 3-500 million. Hu Yifan said.
Zuo Danan stood up suddenly, because the world box office of more than 300 million is considered a very top work.
"You can't brag. If the movie can be sold for 500 million, the copyright of the film adaptation is 5 million, and it will not be a loss, excluding the remuneration of actors, the salaries of other personnel, and the cost of production and shooting, our Yulong Group can make at least 1-200 million net income. Zuo Danan said.
"Hmm." Hu Yifan said.
"Do you have so much confidence in yourself, or do you think you're a prophet?" Zuo Da Nan said.
Hu Yifan said: "If you don't want to, I will keep the film and television copyright for development." As far as the IP of tomb robbery notes is concerned, 10 billion in 10 years is still possible. ā
10 billion in 10 years?
Zuo Danan was shocked.
"What does IP mean?" Zuo Da Nan said.
Hu Yifan said with a smile: "A work, if the global fans reach 100 million, it belongs to a super IP; If it reaches 10 million, it is a valuable commercial IP that everyone is vying for. All 9 tomb robberies were completed, and after the copyright of the English book was sold, the number of fans around the world exceeded at least 10 million, or even more. ā
After thinking about it, Zuo Danan went out and made a phone call, and then said to Hu Yifan: "I believe you once." ā
Subsequently, the two signed a contract.
In addition to not getting the simplified manuscript fee, Hu Yifan won a total of 6 million copyright fees for live broadcasts, film and television in one go. Zuo Da Nan is also very refreshing. On the spot, he transferred 6 million yuan to Hu Yifan's bank. After all, today's Yulong TV is still very well funded.
After getting the money, Hu Yifan was leaving.
"When you get rich, you won't invite me to a meal?" In the corridor, the left flying lane.
"You don't need to eat. I bought a gift for you, and I apologized for hugging you that time. As he spoke, Hu Yifan took out a box from his pocket, which was pretended to be a ring, jadeite.
"Laokeng ice jade, customized, but not worth tens of thousands of dollars, engraved with a traditional flying character, I hope your future acting career will soar." Hu Yifan said.
Zuo Feifei was very moved to accept this gift and happily put it on, it was just right. Think about it, how to send me a ring, don't you understand that rings can't be given indiscriminately?
"What do you mean by giving me a ring? People give rings to the meaning of a marriage proposal. "Left Feifeidao.
"Eldest sister, you're thinking too much. To tell you the truth, I customized 4 rings and gave them to 4 people, should I propose to 4 people? This is a parting vow, and when I take care of some things, I will go to apply for a visa and go abroad. ā
"Parting rings? In addition to wedding rings, there are also parting rings...... 4 people? And Sister Fei'er, Sister Huo, and Sister Xiao Ran? Zuo Feifei asked.
Hu Yifan nodded.
"Going abroad? Which country can tell me? Zuo Feifei asked.
"No, you can't. I'm gone, take care. Hu Yifan turned around to leave.
"It's so sudden, I don't have any gifts for you, give you a kiss." Zuo Feifei rushed over, hugged Hu Yifan, and then took the initiative to kiss Hu Yifan's lips.
ā¦ā¦
Big sister, what are you doing so impulsively?
Hu Yifan was about to break free when he found that the eldest lady was crying.
Then kiss for a few more seconds.
After releasing it, the two looked at each other.
"It smells of smoke." Left Flying Lane.
"Can I go?" Hu Yifan asked.
Zuo Feifei said with red eyes: "Can we see you again in the future?" ā
"Let's not say goodbye."
Hu Yifan said and left quickly.
Zuo Feifei didn't chase either.
Zuo Danan walked out of the corner of the wall on the side and hugged Zuo Feifei, "Silly girl, don't look at it, it's all gone." ā
"Brother, I don't want him to leave...... Which country do you say he will go to? "Left Feifeidao.
"I know, what do people like, it's Ye Fei'er that people like." Zuo Da Nan said.
"But he gave me a ring, too." Left Flying Lane.
"Silly, just comfort you. Didn't I hear him say, is this called parting vows? Zuo Danan said.
ā¦ā¦
Sitting in the taxi, Hu Yifan thought to himself, do you really want to go abroad for development? Why don't you fight with Wang Shao's gang?
Forget it, for the sake of the family, all the sacrifices are worth it.
Next, who should I say goodbye to?
