Chapter 18 Buyout or Split or Guarantee?

The reason why Zhao Wei wants to find a video website to sign first is also very simple, any video work of all people, only after signing a relevant contract with the platform it publishes, can they get the corresponding income, otherwise, it is free for people to watch, and they can't even get a penny.

Despite this, on the three major video websites, there are still a large number of video works published every day, what is the reason?

This is because the platforms of these three major video sites are very strong and have a large number of viewers, and those publishers of original videos hope to become an instant hit, so as to obtain the capital to sign contracts with the website platform.

And in the absence of any website recommendation resources, it is too difficult to stand out in a large number of video works, so the works of the ten ** released by them are basically cannon fodder, but they have just become works that fill the library.

Of course, Zhao Wei is 100% confident that "Never Expected" will fight his way out of a massive number of video works, but he is still not ready to do so.

There are three reasons for this:

The first point is that filming an episode will lose one episode of creativity in his mind, and the hard-working "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama" has no income at all, which will make the poor Zhao Wei feel distressed and annoyed? Rich tyrants don't know how to pick out the pen!

The second point, the question raised by Hou Jun in the dormitory meeting at that time, can the filming progress catch up with the broadcast progress? You don't have to think about it to foresee, once you do this, you will definitely not be able to catch up.

The third point is that all the video works signed in the internal sign are generally very optimistic about the video site, and the promotion is of course much greater.

Above, the second and third points are secondary reasons, and the first point is the main reason.

Walking out of the Kyoto Huagang International Building, Zhao Wei got on the bus to "Banana Video Network", fortunately, the building where the "Banana Video Network" company is located is not far from the place where "Teku Video Network" is located, and he only took the bus for more than ten minutes, and he arrived smoothly.

……

As if the plot was repeated, Zhao Wei received exactly the same treatment as Teku Video Network in "Banana Video Network", and after the other party heard that he was a junior in college, he was also too lazy to waste even 5 minutes of time on his original self-made drama.

Zhao Wei left the office building of "Banana Video Network" with a calm face, but he was still quite depressed, he exhaled heavily, and scolded secretly: What are you bananas learning badly? If you have to learn the stupid pen style of the special cool, it's no wonder that Nima is always ten thousand years old?!

After Zhao Wei bought a bag of his favorite potato chips at a small supermarket on the street, he slowly walked to the stool next to the bus stop and sat down to rest, eating potato chips while waiting for the bus.

Although they have encountered a nose of dust in "Teku Video Network" and "Banana Video Network", for Zhao Wei, a man destined to become a superstar in the future, this is nothing at all, just two small raindrops on the road to fame.

So, Zhao Wei got on the bus again and went to the next stop, Huaguancun High-tech Park in Kyoto City, where "Love Watch Video Network" is located.

After being confused on the bus for more than an hour, Zhao Wei finally arrived at his destination.

The person who received him in "Love to Watch Video Network" was an ordinary-looking girl, she was wearing the company's professional attire, and she looked about twenty-four or five years old.

Sister paper poured a glass of water for Zhao Wei with a paper cup, and said with a smile: "Hello! My name is Zhang Ting. What is the matter with you? ”

"Hello! My name is Zhao Wei and I am a third-year directing student at Kyoto Film Academy. ”

Zhao Wei took the water cup with both hands, the same as the previous two times, he smiled and used the same words as before, and explained his intentions: "I recently filmed and produced an original self-made drama with my classmates, called "Never Expected", I want to sign a contract with your company first, and then post it on the Aikan video network." ”

Zhang Ting thought for a while, but did not refuse directly, and then her words were a little unexpected by Zhao Wei, only to hear her ask: "En...... Can you show me your work first? ”

Of course, Zhao Wei happily took out the USB flash drive in his satchel and said, "Can I borrow your office computer?" ”

Zhao Wei followed behind Zhang Ting, and walked to Zhang Ting's office one after another.

Zhang Ting sat on the office chair, forked the USB flash drive given by Zhao Wei into the computer, clicked on the text folder of "Never Expected" in the USB flash drive, and after she put on the headphones, she directly opened the first video article "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama".

After 5 minutes.

"Hahaha......"

Zhang Ting covered her stomach that was sore from laughter, took off her headphones, and said to Zhao Wei: "Please wait a moment, I will immediately call the boss of our department to come over to negotiate." ”

Zhang Ting looked very excited, and trotted all the way away, and soon she came back, only to see a middle-aged man behind her, he had a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, bright eyes, and a goat's beard on his mouth, although the eyebrows and beard were very thick, but there was not even a single hair on his head.

Zhang Ting introduced the two to each other and said: "Zhao Wei, this is Li Yuncong, the big boss of our content editorial department. Boss, this is Zhao Wei, a junior at Kyoto Film Academy, super invincible and talented, I just watched one episode of his original self-made drama, and I have already become a fan of "Never Expected"! ”

"Hello!" Li Yuncong and Zhao Wei simply shook hands, he sat on Zhang Ting's office chair, put on headphones, and pressed the play button of "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama".

Another 5 minutes passed.

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

Li Yuncong covered his stomach that was sore from laughter, put down the headphones, he stood up and patted Zhao Wei's shoulder, and said with an irrepressible smile on his face: "Oh, what a hero from ancient times!" Zhao Wei, you are so creative! Hahaha, I really didn't expect it, and I became a fan of "Never Expected"! ”

Li Yuncong did not hesitate at all, and immediately made a decision in the hall, saying: "Zhao Wei, your original self-made drama "Never Expected", we signed it!" Now there is only one question left, which type of contract do you want to choose? There are three options: 100,000 episodes of the buyout contract? Or a five-fifty split contract? Or is it a guaranteed share contract for 50,000 episodes? It can give you complete autonomy in your choice. ”

Zhao Wei has done his homework before, and of course he has a serious understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of these three contracts.

The buyout contract is a one-time purchase of the copyright of the work at a certain premium by the website platform, and whether the sales of the work is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with the original creator, which can be said to be the most guaranteed contract. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and if the work is a hot seller, the original creator will lose a lot.

The sharing contract refers to the fifty-fifty share of the revenue from the sale between the original creator and the website platform, the advantages are very prominent, if the work is hot, the original creator can get a high income, and the disadvantages are also obvious, if the work sales are very poor, the original owner's income will be very low. It is a kind of contract that is relatively insecure.

If the sales volume of the work exceeds the guaranteed price, then the original creator can find the website platform to modify the contract to a sharing contract, and then he can get excess share income, and if the sales volume of the work is lower than the guaranteed price, the original creator can still get the income from the guaranteed price. It can be said that it is the most sincere contract among the three contracts.

Zhao Wei replied with a smile without hesitation: "Of course I choose a win-win sharing contract!" ”

Will "Never Expected" be a hit? Do you need to ask!? The answer, of course, is that it will be hot, it will definitely be hot, and there is no reason for Muma Bo to not be on fire! Unless all the people in this parallel world are Martians!

Li Yuncong stretched out a hand with a smile on his face and said, "Very smart choice!" Happy working together! ”

"Happy working together!" Zhao Wei also smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Never Expected" and the sharing contract with Aikan Video Network were finalized in this way.
