17. The first royalty
Gu Fei smiled and said nothing, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"Well, since that is the case, then we don't have to talk about it. Seriously, even if I sell copyrights, I will earn more than 2 million in 5 years, and you will not add more than a 0! Hu Yifan suddenly said loudly. Maybe it was because his self-esteem was hurt that Hu Yifan expressed his worth so excitedly and exaggeratedly. When a person is looked down upon by others, that feeling is really uncomfortable.
"That's 20 million?" Gu Fei sneered: "Are you saying that within five years, you can sell 20 million songs?" ”
Hu Yi nodded firmly.
Gu Fei laughed and said: "If you say this, I will be a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, if other people in the industry hear it, I am afraid they will laugh at you." Do you know what the concept of selling songs for 20 million in 5 years is? Okay, I'll just think you can still create a song like "Father", 5 songs a year, it's considered a strong creative force, right? The price is 100,000 yuan, which is expensive, right? Then 5 years is 25 songs, a total of 2.5 million, which means that you can only earn 2.5 million in five years. ”
"Oh? Then boss, you only paid me 2 million for 5 years? If I can earn 2.5 million by selling songs myself, why do I have to sell my company? Hu Yifan said with a smile.
Gu Fei patted his head, and was surrounded by this kid. But after all, he was old, and immediately retorted: "Because you have the platform of the company, protect you, package you, and protect your vested interests from infringement." ”
"Well, that's it. But there's one more thing I'm not happy with. Hu Yifan said.
"You say." Gu Fei said.
"It's whether I can write more good songs in 5 years, this is aside, and when it comes to copyright, I ask: I'm a literary young man, I have more hobbies, and occasionally like to write some articles and novels, in case my literary works are published, will the copyright also belong to Feiyue Records?" Hu Yifan asked. There are some details that cannot be sloppy and must be figured out.
"You can still write? Hehe, if there is a literary publication during the contract period, then the publisher must take into account your identity as a singer, not necessarily purely based on the quality of your work, so the copyright leap accounts for at least half. Gu Fei said.
Hu Yifan shrugged: "Then there's no need to talk about it, if that's the case, I'm afraid you really can't sign me." ”
"Hehe, what do you say?" Gu Fei said with a smile.
"If I can write 20 songs like "Father" a year, if I calculate it as 100,000 yuan, the full copyright income in a year is 2 million. But I can confidently say that compared to this, the copyright of one book in my literature may exceed 2 million, and it is not all copyrighted! Hu Yifan said.
Gu Fei was puzzled: "20 songs in 1 year? That's too much of an exaggeration, right? Also, what exactly does the copyright of a book mean? ”
"For example, if I just started writing a book, called "Flower Thousand Bone", which is currently published on the www.biquge.info Chinese website of Biquge, how much do you think it can be sold?" Hu Yifan asked.
"www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion? Web article? Hehe, 10 tens of thousands of people died! Gu Fei said disdainfully, and said in his heart, after a long time, you are talking about online literature and literature.
"Oh? Is that so? If I say that if I sell all the copyrights of the book's TV series, movies, games, comics, simplified Chinese publishing, traditional publishing, English publishing, etc., and sell it for more than 10 million yuan, do you believe it? Hu Yifan said.
It is not unfounded to say this, the TV series "Flower Thousand Bone" was sold to the TV station for 600,000 yuan. Then level 58 is 35.8 million. I remember that the investment and income of the TV series of "Flower Thousand Bone" were reported on the Internet. The investment cost of "Flower Thousand Bone" is 105 million yuan, and the producer has achieved a revenue of 168 million yuan in 2014, and the total revenue in 2015 is about 229 million yuan.
The adaptation of several phenomenal online texts such as "Flower Thousand Bone", "Langya Bang", and "Miyue Zhuan" finally set off the IP trend of online articles. The operation of a super red book, that is very scary. The revenue they generate is often staggering!
Therefore, it is impossible for Hu Yifan to agree to Gu Fei's "seizure" of all his copyrights. Now that I have posted the article "Flower Thousand Bone" in the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, it is not surprising that this book can at least help me earn more than one million fortunes, how can I give it to others?
However, these Gu Fei didn't know and couldn't believe it. It seems that many people can't believe that a web novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is actually several times or even more than ten times better than the works of top writers such as Februaryhe! On the one hand, they are obsessed with the staggering royalty wealth, and on the other hand, they want to spew out the low-grade taste of this kind of work.
""Flower Thousand Bone", the copyright sells for tens of millions, hehe. Okay, Xiaohu, don't talk about it, if you don't want to sign a contract, forget it, don't make up this kind of story to fool me. Gu Fei said with a smile.
Seeing that Hu Yifan was very shrewd and careful, Gu Fei felt that he was going to change his strategy.
"That's it, if you don't agree to sign the contract, forget it, you can sell us the songs of "Father". For the sake of the eldest brother who took you in in the first place. ”
Hu Yifan thought to himself, he finally revealed his true purpose, it seems that you are not as interested in me as a person, I can only say that you are short-sighted, so I thought about it and said: "Medium." You want the big boss to give me a call in person. ”
"Oh?" Gu Fei smiled, but he still dialed Gu Tian's mobile phone number, connected and said a few words, during which the two seemed to argue a few words.
Hu Yifan vaguely heard: "If the second child is not like this, then 5 million in five years, if he has the copyright of literary works, twenty-eight points, you see what he says." ”
"Big brother, you're crazy! 5 million, we are a small company, and we can't afford to take such a big risk. Besides, he said about the novel, and you believe it? Forget it, it's affordable to get the copyright of these songs. ”
……
As if sensing that Gu Fei was looking at him, Hu Yifan got up and walked to the door, with his back to him. Then Gu Fei handed over the phone.
"Xiaohu, I'm Gu Tian."
"Big boss, I'm Hu Yifan. The second boss said that you really want the copyright of those songs in "Father"? Hu Yifan got straight to the point.
"Well, but Xiaohu, think about it again, talent like you is rare, and the price can be negotiated slowly when I come back." Gu Tiandao.
"Big boss, thank you for your kindness, I won't talk about the signing of the contract. But I haven't forgotten the love you took me in. I'll give you the first song of "Father", whoever you authorize to sing it. As for the other songs, if you want to buy them, I can buy them cheaper, but I don't sell the full copyright, I can only license the first song. Hu Yifan said.
"Premiere license? Okay, too. How much is that together? Gu Tiandao.
""Where Has Time Gone" 10,000, "I Am a Little Bird" 20,000, "Sea and Sky" 30,000, "Father", a total of 60,000." Hu Yifan said.
“…… Not expensive. Gu Tian was stunned.
"But it's not very cheap, if it's just a first song, it's not much more expensive to sell it to others. This can be regarded as an apology for not being able to sign a leap, after all, I am very touched that the big boss was willing to take me in. Hu Yifan said.
"Good, good, good." Gu Tianlian said three good, but he didn't know how to keep Hu Yifan and use money to smash it? I really don't have enough money. Moreover, people know how to repay their kindness, which can be described as both art and virtue.
Hu Yifan handed the phone to Gu Fei.
"Haha, big brother, it's still your cow, just talk about the next singing right in a few words, it's hard for Qi Feng to think about it now." Gu Fei said with a smile. But the big boss doesn't seem to be as happy as he imagined.
Hu Yifan was stunned for a long time, is this a song for Qi Feng? Forget it, who to sing it for, that's someone's business.
Then Gu Fei asked the secretary to quickly draft a premiere authorization contract, Hu Yifan signed it, and then went to the finance to receive a licensing fee of 60,000 yuan.
took 60,000 yuan in cash, Hu Yifan smiled: "You can match my little sister with a piano." ”
