"Your goal is really big!"

After listening to Lei Juewen's words, Jin Yong couldn't help but let out a sigh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJapan has a vast market, which cannot be compared with Hong Kong Island, and you only need to compare the population figures of both sides to know the size of the two markets. In the case of Kim Yong himself, he also wants to break his own martial arts novels into the Japanese market, which is not only to make money, but also a kind of honor, the honor generated by conquering readers in other countries with his own literature.

At the beginning, Jin Yong also dumped the novel to Japan with the publisher, but unfortunately, the results were not simply unsatisfactory, but very poor, so that the publisher suffered heavy losses, and the Japanese version of the martial arts novel was rarely read, which made Jin Yong very unpleasant.

Now that he heard that Lei Juewen had the idea of adapting martial arts novels into comics and distributing them in Japan, he was worried that Lei Juewen would fail, but he also hoped that Lei Juewen would succeed, so that he felt better, at least his literary works were still popular abroad, but the national conditions were different, and the forms that needed to be presented were different.

Lei Juewen said with a smile: "The goal should be bigger, so that it can be achieved step by step, and what can be done in three or two clicks is not the goal." ”

Jin Yong smiled and nodded in agreement, it is better to have a bigger goal, only a lofty goal can have the motivation to achieve it, as long as it is not on the way to achieve a lofty goal, because it is difficult to see the result and lose motivation.

"Little friend, do you know why I want to meet you today? If it's just a matter of adaptation rights, I can negotiate with the editor-in-chief of "Tian Tian Daily". ”

Lei Juewen shook his head and said, "This kid really doesn't know. He really didn't know why Kim Yong wanted to meet with him, and wanted to meet with him to talk about the right to adapt comics, but Jin Yong had to be like this, and he had no reason to refuse.

Jin Yong said: "I am currently reading the martial arts novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" serialized in "Tiantian Daily", this is a fine novel, I want to meet the author of the novel, when I raised this matter with the editor-in-chief of Zhang, he said that he wanted to ask for your opinion first, so I hope to meet with you." ”

"I see!"

Lei Juewen nodded when he heard this, and then he understood why Jin Yong wanted to see him, and said: "If Zha Lao wants to know, of course I won't hide it, I just hope that Zha Lao will not tell this matter, it is not good to say this." ”

Jin Yong said: "If there is any inconvenience, then forget it." Jin Yong didn't want to force Lei Juewen, if it was really inconvenient, although it was a pity that he couldn't communicate with the best of his peers, he wouldn't force it.

"There's nothing inconvenient, as long as you don't say it."

Lei Juewen shook his head lightly and said: "Actually, the plot of the novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was conceived by me, and I provided the plot, and then found someone to ghostwrite, carry out literary embellishment and polishing, and finally write it out and serialize it in the newspaper. ”

"I see." Jin Yong was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard it, after all, in this case, the part of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which is currently serialized, has a first-class level novel, and it cannot be regarded as someone's work, which cannot but make him feel regretful.

Lei Juewen said: "The plot of the novel is provided by me, but my literary accomplishment is not enough to write it into a novel, so I asked Huang Ying to ghostwrite." ”

Jin Yong listened: "Huang Ying is an extremely good martial arts novelist, but he used to ghostwrite for others, I have always felt that this is a very regrettable thing, he should create his own works." And his mind on martial arts novels is not as much as on TV drama scripts and movie scripts, and he often writes scripts for TV stations and film companies. If he could put his mind on martial arts novels and settle down to write a novel, he would definitely write excellent works. ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "His literary attainments are indeed not shallow, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" under his polish, it is an excellent martial arts work in the eyes of people, and at present, "Tiantian Daily" can have its current achievements, and this novel is indispensable." ”

Jin Yong said: "Ming Pao was originally supported by my novels, as long as Tian Tian Bao publishes more and more works in the future, I believe that in terms of sales, there will be more and more, and it may even surpass Ming Pao in the future." ”

"I hope so, I hope so."

Lei Juewen said with a smile, in fact, in his heart, it is not so easy for a newspaper to be supported by a novel, in his planning, "Tiantian Daily" will still serialize novels in the future, but entertainment news can not be less, and it is also the main part, after all, it is too wasteful to let the resources of its stars not be used. Newspapers promote celebrities, celebrities gain exposure, and newspapers gain revenue, which is the best of both worlds.

In the following time, Lei Juewen and Jin Yong chatted for a while, and then talked about the royalty of the adaptation rights of the novel and comics.

What Lei Juewen wants to buy is the comic adaptation rights of fifteen novels under Jin Yong's name, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Blue Blood Sword", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "The Book of Swords and Enmity", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "Flying Fox Gaiden", "White Horse Howling West Wind", "Mandarin Duck Knife", "Chivalrous Travel", "Yue Nu Sword", and "Liancheng Jue".

Lei Juewen proposed to buy the comic adaptation rights for 20 years, and Jin Yong also agreed, anyway, no one bought it, the longer the period, the only benefit to him, a total of fifteen novels were packaged and sold, because of the number of years, the final copyright fee was 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. On average, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars per novel is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per year, which is not much.

For Jin Yong, the copyright fee of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars is no longer considered to be sold cheaply, as long as it is not sold cheaply, he is still satisfied with the copyright fee of this figure, and the two parties reached a verbal agreement to wait for another time to sign the contract.

After discussing the copyright issue with Jin Yong, Lei Juewen sat for a while before leaving the company.

The comic adaptation rights of Jin Yong's novels need Lei Juewen to go in person, but Gu Long's adaptation rights have already been obtained, Gu Long, who spends money like running water, does not have his own industry and savings, when Zhang Tong came to the door, Gu Long agreed, and 450,000 Hong Kong dollars packaged all his martial arts novel comic adaptation rights, and the contract period was also 20 years.

Gu Long also has a lot of excellent works, otherwise he would not be as famous as Jin Yong, but most of his martial arts novels are not suitable for adaptation, and only a few excellent works are suitable for adaptation, so the copyright fee will be more than one million different from Jin Yong's novel copyright fee.
