Chapter 105: Riot Inc
Riot Inc. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As one of the companies acquired by Tencent, Huaguo actually has a 100% controlling stake in it.
Located in a prosperous area of the capital, there is a small branch, which belongs to Tencent, which is a public location specializing in matters related to League of Legends.
Huang Bo is one of the managers who served as Huaguo's agent.
It was close to noon, and he was still taking care of other chores, when he didn't expect a strange phone call to start.
"Manager. There's a person in charge of a manga house publishing house who wants to discuss something with you. ”
"Publisher?"
Huang Bo thought about it, he didn't know the owner of this publishing house, he asked himself what to do, but he still came: "Call me." ”
Soon, Hammer's call was connected.
"Hello, I'm Heimo."
"Well, what are you looking for me?"
After all, they are a big company over there, and Hei Mo's tone is also very low, he said: "Our publishing house recently wants to publish a book about League of Legends fandom, and I want to ask about the relevant legal responsibilities. ”
Don't think about it, the other party must want to publish a League of Legends novel, and Huang Bo has encountered this kind of thing not once or twice, and he has already had experience.
After all, is League of Legends popular?,Writing it fanfiction is everywhere.,There are not a few books that can be published with a little achievement.。
"What kind of channel did you use to publish the books that your publishing house is going to publish?"
Generally speaking, only large book sites such as Beginning, Genesis, and Yunqi will have the ability to publish fanbooks. The number of small websites is very small.
But who knew that what Hei Mo said was that kind of unbelievable originality.
"We, the publisher, have recently designed a novel way of writing books on our own, called comics. So we wanted to publish a fanbook about League of Legends comics. ”
When Huang Bo heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, what is a comic? He had lived most of his life and had never heard of it.
But although I don't understand what Hei Mo is doing, as long as there are benefits to be made, it is a good thing.
Tengxun Company is rich, but he is not rich.
"7% of the copyright is the publication price we give to the big publishing houses. Of course, I haven't heard of the name of your publishing house at all, so the copyright fee may be slightly higher. ”
The Comic House Publishing House has only been established for less than a month, and he hasn't even gone out of the county seat, so he can know that he is a ghost.
Hei Mo said: "I know this. I would like to know how much we have to pay to get the full official rights to a comic after we publish it? ”
"Huh?"
Huang Bo said suspiciously: "You mean, you don't plan to divide the copyright, but want to get all the copyright at once?" ”
"That's right. On our side, we just want to get all the copyrights. ”
Is the other party stupid?
Hearing this, Huang Bo couldn't help but shake his head.
There are publishers who don't want to get the full copyright of the book.
If the book doesn't sell, won't they die at a loss?
Of course, there are also some books that, after being sold, will skyrocket. Unfortunately, the current sales of League of Legends fandom books are extremely dismal.
Encountering a wronged leader, Huang Bo also stopped what he was doing, and said seriously: "In this way, the average sales volume of League of Legends fan fiction is about 10,000 copies. But those are popular books sold by large publishers, and we see that you are a small publisher and may not be able to sell this amount. And we also encourage publishers to publish books about our games, after all, everyone is a win-win situation. So in this regard, I can give you a discount. ”
Huang Bo said a lot, nothing more than trying to confuse Hei Mo and make him pay more money.
However, on the other side, Hei Mo was sitting in the office with Erlang's legs crossed, calculating something with a smirk on his face.
No one wants to lose money when trading this kind of thing.
The reason why Hammer called the official League of Legends was nothing more than to stamp the official badge with his upcoming comics, otherwise he would have to sell them as pirated books.
Genuine books, no matter how they sound, are better than pirated books, and they can also be sold on the whole network.
"Eight thousand, look at this number, it's okay."
After a long time, Huang Bo finally calculated a suitable number in his heart, and continued to ask Hei Mo.
If a book can sell for 30, 10,000 copies are 300,000, and according to the 7% share of copyright, they can earn more than 2,000 at most. Even if the publisher wants to obtain the full official copyright of the book, the price may be slightly higher, but it will not be too high.
Now Huang Bo and Hei Mo are asking for 8,000, in fact, it is the lion who has opened his mouth, and Hei Mo does not know where it is in his heart.
Hei Mo laughed, "You're really kidding. Your company, no, as long as your department doesn't do anything, just just stamp me casually, just ask me for 8,000, isn't it a bit much? ”
Huang Bo replied: "Then you say, how much are you going to pay?" ”
Heimer said: "The comic books we publish, as for the specific form, you may not know. ”
Huang Bo wondered, "What does this mean?" ”
"We, the publishing house, plan to publish comics on a volume-by-volume basis. Each volume is about one book, and there must be more than a dozen volumes in total, and the price of each volume is very low, currently priced at 6 yuan. ”
"$6 a book?"
Huang Bo couldn't help but scold in his heart, could it be that the opposite brain was kicked by a donkey.
In the 21st century, 6 yuan for a book, even according to the current best market calculation, he can sell 10,000 copies, how much profit can he get?
Isn't this pure no-nonsense tossing?
If those famous books, such as "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Zhu Xian", are dismantled and retailed, then that's it. It's like this kind of original fanbook that no one cares about.,It's also sold in separate volumes.,It's a stunned young man in modern society.。
But he knew that in the original world, the form of sales of comics was to sell by volume, and it was quite reasonable.
Comics are the product of countless short stories, and readers like the content of that article and buy that content, which is good for both buyers and sellers.
At this time, another voice came from Hei Mo's side: "20,000, our publishing house plans to pay this price to buy out the official publication approval of a comic book series, do you think it's okay?" ”
Huang Bo now finally knows that Hei Mo was not kicked in the brain by a donkey, but was kicked into the stinky ditch and into the water.
Originally, he thought that it would be good for Heimo to give 3,000, but after calculating this, as the head of the department, he can extract a little extra income, and he can also make a little extra money, and he can also indirectly advertise the company he operates, who doesn't want to do this job?
But now, he wants to offer 20,000?!
