Chapter 027 High-priced film and television adaptation rights
Morning.
Early this morning, Lu Wenxin got up, and after tidying up his clothes, he came to the Wujie Publishing House.
Compared with the anxiety a while ago, Lu Wenxin now looks much more energetic.
Sitting in the office, Lu Wenxin took a sip of tea and opened a newspaper at random.
His eyes swept the newspaper, but he was thinking about something else.
"There is a real ...... gap between people"
Lu Wenxin suddenly sighed.
A few days ago, Chen Qi's enlightenment was launched, and Lu Wenxin also knew about it.
But he didn't expect that such a small website, a short romance novel written by Chen Qi, would break the dilemma that had been bothering him.
With the crazy momentum of "Tianhe Demon Sword Record", the sales of "Knight" magazine continue to rise, and "Martial Arts World", which has only just been established, will naturally be squeezed.
Lu Wenxin originally thought that the latest issue of "Martial Arts World" could maintain sales of 150,000 copies in the Yanjing area, so he burned high incense, but he didn't expect that because of Chen Qi's skyrocketing popularity, the sales volume of this issue of "Martial Arts World" actually reached 200,000 copies, which greatly narrowed the gap with "Chivalry".
"It's getting more and more incomprehensible to me."
Lu Wenxin said.
At the beginning, he felt that Chen Qi was talented and ambitious, but now he feels that he still underestimates Chen Qi.
This time Chen Qi was invited, not only because he wanted the physical book copyright of "The First Close Contact", but also because the head office gave a death order to Lu Wenxin to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The First Close Contact". For this, the head office gave an almost ridiculously high price.
At about half past eight, that is, when Lu Wenxin went to work normally, Chen Qi arrived.
"Come, sit down! I've helped you make all the tea. ”
As soon as Chen Qi entered the door, he listened to Lu Wenxin greet.
"Brother Lu, it's not the first time I've come, so I don't have to be so polite......"
Chen Qi stepped into the chair, took a sip of some cold tea, and said.
"It's the old brother who is hypocritical, punish himself!"
Lu Wenxin picked up his cup, gurgling, drank a glass of water, and saw that Chen Qi had a black line.
"First of all, congratulations on the success of First Close Encounter. To be honest, this novel is really well written, my brother reads it, and he wants to engage in some online dating. ”
Lu Wenxin said: "You are now serializing "Zhu Xian" on the website, what are your expectations for "Zhu Xian"? Why don't you take "Zhu Xian" as your next novel and publish it in "Martial Arts World"? The manuscript fee is yours! ”
""The First Close Contact" is just an online romance novel, in fact, the readership is still a bit single, but "Zhu Xian" will be all-round, and "Zhu Xian" is a long story of more than 1.5 million words, I can pack a ticket, "Zhu Xian" will far exceed "The First Close Contact".
Omnidirectional...... A long ...... of more than 1.5 million words Far more than "First Close Encounter"......
Lu Wenxin's eyes were already round, and he said eagerly: "I'll call someone to prepare the contract now, how about five hundred words in a thousand words?" Not enough, we can discuss again! ”
"Nope."
Chen Qi smiled and shook his head.
"Zhu Xian" is an online novel, and it will only be published online. Physical book or film and television adaptation, we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”
"What?"
Lu Wenxin said it out of his voice.
Even if it is a manuscript fee of 500 words per 1,000 words, it is an income of more than 800,000 yuan, and the young man in front of him gave up casually.
"Can you tell me why?"
"Qiming has just started, and he needs "Zhu Xian" to gain popularity." Chen Qi explained.
"Just for that little website? More than 800,000 can buy a lot of them. ”
"800,000 can't be bought." Chen Qi said with a smile.
He knew in his heart that as long as Qiming became bigger and got on the right track, let alone 800,000, even 8 million couldn't buy it.
In the original world, online novels have only been developed for more than ten years, and which of the largest stations is not worth more than 100 million yuan.
"Qiming will continue to operate with my heart, and I hope that there will be cooperation between us at that time." Chen Qi said.
"Okay."
Lu Wenxin nodded indifferently, although he didn't understand why Chen Qi valued this website so much, but he also knew that Chen Qi had made up his mind, don't think about serializing "Zhu Xian" on "Martial Arts World".
"But when the serialization of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is completed, you promise me a martial arts novel, but you can't delay."
"I've got an idea, and I'll start writing in a few days, and I won't delay."
Hearing Chen Qi's reply, Lu Wenxin finally felt a little more at ease.
"Okay, I called you this time, mainly for the physical book copyright and film and television adaptation rights of "First Close Contact".
Lu Wenxin's face became stern.
"The physical book of "First Close Contact" will be the same as that of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", with a 12% royalty share and a guaranteed printing of 150,000 copies."
"Yes."
Chen Qi nodded.
"As for film and television adaptation rights, we can ......"
Lu Wenxin stretched out five fingers.
"Five million! Tax! ”
"Yes."
Chen Qi was slightly surprised, five million after tax, that is actually equivalent to paying six million to buy.
Dyspepsia. Zi Cai and Qingwu Feiyang have become a couple that everyone knows on the Internet, and the film and television adaptation rights of "First Intimate Contact" have naturally become the objects coveted by major film and television companies.
These days, some people have been contacting Chen Qi to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The First Close Contact", and several even put forward a price of four million, but Chen Qi has not let go.
The film and television adaptation rights of "The First Close Contact" must be sold, but if it is sold to an unfamiliar company, it is better to discuss it with Lu Wenxin.
Sure enough, Qinglong Film and Television is rich and rich, and gave a high price of five million.
In fact, five million is not a high price compared to the popularity of "The First Close Contact", but considering that this is the first online novel adapted into film and television, buyers are taking a lot of risks, so five million is generous enough.
"We're ready for the contract."
Chen Qi took the contract and looked at it, Qinglong Film and Television purchased the permanent film and television adaptation rights of "The First Close Contact".
If Chen Qi only sells it for a few years, it is estimated that the price will be reduced a lot.
"Forget it, although I will also get involved in the film and television industry in the future, this kind of youth romance film will not be too involved."
Chen Qi thought about it and signed it directly.
Then the finance went to transfer money, and within a moment, Chen Qi's card had an extra five million.
Leaving the Wujie Publishing House and walking on the road, Chen Qi was a little excited, but also a little embarrassed, it was the first time for two people to carry so much money.
"Haha, now I can buy a house in Yanjing if I want."
When you have money, all you have to do is spend it!
However, of course, Chen Qi will not really buy a house in Yanjing, five million can buy a house in Yanjing, but it is just an ordinary suite in the city, and there is no decoration.
Chen Qi can't look down on that kind of house, and besides, this money is also useful.
First of all, he wants to send money to his father Chen Wenyu to buy a house, there is no decent house, how can you ask Chen Wenyu to help him find a stepmother.
Then, Qiming's side also has to invest money.
Up to now, the Qiming server is still using Lin Bai School, with more and more website traffic, this is obviously not possible, and the promotion of Qiming is a big expense.
"Hey, Xiaobai."
"Who, don't let people sleep early in the morning?"
Chen Qi heard a lazy voice on his phone.
It's almost ten o'clock now, but Lin Bai has always reversed day and night, and he usually won't wake up until breakfast.
"Alright, it's almost lunch, let's get up. I'll say something to you. ”
"Oh, actually, I'm going to talk to you about something."
On the other side of the phone, Lin Bai yawned and said, "Now that our website also has some traffic, we can put a little advertising appropriately." There are too many places to spend money on websites in the future, and we must plan for it as soon as possible. ”
Qiming relies on Chen Qi's novels to develop and grow, but these days Lin Bai has paid a lot of money, and the maintenance and management of the website is basically done by Lin Bai alone.
"You don't have to worry about money. I'll open an account later, I'll put a million into it first, don't save a little bit on the website, the artist should be invited, and the advertisement should be cast. Oh, and by the way, don't use your school's web server. Chen Qi said.
"Where did you get the money?" Lin Bai said in surprise.
"The film and television adaptation rights of "First Close Contact" have been sold."
"How much money?"
"Five million."
"Five million. …… What has five million? Your novel is only 50,000 words, but it can be sold for 5 million, and you can't grab money so quickly! ”
"It's fine. So for website development, you must not save money, as long as you do a good job of the website, money is not a problem. ”
"Hmm."
Lin Bai agreed, and then suddenly shouted: "I am obviously a technical hero, but you actually call me as a domestic affairs hero and a diplomatic hero." ”
"You have to believe in yourself, your potential is not just about doing technology! Those who can work harder. You can tap some talents in the school, if you really can't, go to the talent market. ”
"Okay, I thought you could eat and drink spicy food, but I didn't expect that I would be a cow and a horse."
Lin Bai's resentful voice came from his mobile phone.
"First bitter and then sweet, Qiming will be our cause together!"
"A business together!"
Lin Bai also said heavily.
"By the way, we heard Xia Xiaozi say that our high school classmates will hold a party in two days, will you go?"
"Of course not."
Without thinking about it, Chen Qi refused.
"Hey, Xia Xiaozi is also there, she ......"
"Alright, I'm going to the bank."
Chen Qi interrupted Lin Bai's words.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Qi walked to the bank.
