After Zhong Lijian and Chang Zheng conveyed the skills of writers and savvy businessmen to Chang Zheng about the current situation and market trend of book shadows, Yue Ru and Dou Yan also finished their facial treatments and went downstairs. After Chang Zheng finished buying the dinner order, the four of them withdrew.

All four of them drank, Yue Ru had a full-time driver, and her driver drove Zhong Lijian and Yue Ru home. Of course, it is also okay for Yue Ru to take Chang Zheng and Dou Yan by the way. But she asked Chang Zheng to take a taxi to take Dou Yan home.

Chang Zheng and Dou Yan took a taxi, and the two sat in the back of the car.

Dou Yan had just finished her facial treatment, and her face was very beautiful but not good-looking.

Her face is good-looking, because the care of this high-end club must be very high-end, and the nursing materials and service technology are first-class. Dou Yan's complexion is white and red, pink and tender.

Her face is not good-looking because she is in a bad mood. After getting in the car, she kept a cold face and ignored the signs.

"Dou Yan, I'll make a riddle for you to guess." , Chang Zheng saw that Dou Yan didn't speak, so he took the initiative to find a way to say: "It's hard, it's quite long, it's soft when you enter the hole, hit it for a ......."

"Boring! Vulgar! Chewing gum. Dou Yan glanced at Chang Zheng and revealed the answer to this riddle.

Chang Zheng took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to Dou Yan: "The little girl is so smart, come, brother, please eat candy." You can't stop after you eat it. ”

"Don't eat it!" , Dou Yan turned her head to look out the car window.

"Hey, women are such strange emotional creatures, how can they turn their faces at every turn? It was quite happy during the meal just now, and I went out to answer the phone and talk about a business. and became arrogant and cold. A woman's heart is a needle. Chang Zheng peeled off the chewing gum package and ate it himself, and he sighed to himself while chewing the gum.

"Business? What business? ”。 Dou Yan turned her head to look at Chang Zheng.

"Small business, compared with Boss Dou's big international business, is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." , Dou Yan's expression changed Chang Zheng saw it in his eyes, and he was obedient.

"Cut! Not to mention pulling down, who wants to hear it? ”。 Dou Yan turned her head and continued to look out the window.

Dou Yan didn't want to hear it, and Chang Zheng didn't say it.

After a minute, Dou Yan couldn't hold it back. She turned her head again and asked Chang Zheng: "The phone call just now, did you really go to discuss business?" You're just a codeword, what business is there to discuss? Stationery business? ”

Chang Zheng wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but dress calmly: "Do you have a writer who writes books with pen and paper now?" Copyright business only. Nothing. ”

"Copyright business?". Dou Yan was stunned, and then she suddenly realized: "You sold the copyright of "Evil Awe-inspiring"? It turns out that you slipped out to answer the call from the publishing house at the clubhouse just now? This is a good thing, why sneak around for fear that others will know. I thought you were with ......."

Speaking of this, Dou Yan suddenly stopped, and quickly changed the topic: "Then has the copyright of "Evil Awe-inspiring" been negotiated?" ”

Chang Zheng continued to be calm: "It's still negotiating, and I have to go to that club to negotiate tomorrow." ”

"Really! Congratulations! Dou Yan suddenly cheered up. Seems to be happier than Chang Zheng.

"Which publisher did you sell to?" What is the price, is it convenient to reveal? Your "Infinite Terror" just came out of the physical book last month, and "Evil Awe" is here again. Double harvest! Anyway, your "Evil Spirit" is now being serialized on Fenghua Online, can you publish a physical book? Isn't it still unfinished? Dou Yan's mood improved inexplicably, and Duangduang asked a series of questions.

Chang Zheng didn't answer her question, but said, "Not angry? ”

"Angry? Who's angry? And chewing gum? Give me one. Dou Yan blushed and reached out to Chang Zheng to ask for chewing gum. She is now like a little girl who has done something wrong, but she won't admit it when she is killed.

Look, a woman changes her face very quickly, and it doesn't make sense to be fast. Chang Zheng handed Dou Yan a piece of chewing gum, and then explained to her: "This time, "Evil Awe-inspiring" was not sold to a publishing house, but to a private cultural company in Beijing, Suzaku Culture Communication Co., Ltd. It is not only selling physical copyrights, but also selling film and television copyrights. It is not only publishing houses that can do publishing business, as long as private publishers such as Suzaku Company can get a book number, they can also do book publishing. The current national policy for the publishing industry is public-private cooperation, so a large number of private cultural companies have emerged.

"Evil and Awe-inspiring" has now uploaded nearly 400,000 words on Fenghua.com, plus my manuscript is 150,000 words, which is indeed unfinished. But it doesn't matter, I have a complete outline, so I can sell film and television rights, a two-hour movie script is generally about 50,000 words, and my outline has more than 100,000 words, and I can adapt the script. In the field of physical book publishing, it is not that I give the entire manuscript of a book to the publisher before I can publish it for sale. Many physical books are 200,000 words per episode, and the publisher can publish one episode at a time, and one episode will be published when the 200,000 words are full, which does not conflict with my online serialization. As for the price of copyright transfer, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Chang Zheng spent a few minutes and briefly explained the market in the industry with Dou Yan.

The little stars in Dou Yan's eyes are flickering more and more: "It's going to be made into a movie!" Chang Zheng is too powerful. This is not a small business, the film market is very hot now, and once it is released, people all over the country will see it. Compared to you, I'm doing a small business. I wish you a smooth negotiation tomorrow and fame and fortune! ”

……

East Building Hutong, Yunlai Clubhouse.

Within a few days, Chang Zheng had come to this club for the third time.

Today is March 6th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Zheng was in a private room in the clubhouse, and invited Zheng Wu to tea.

This is the second time the two have met, and they are not considered to be alive, so after a few words of greeting, they went straight to the topic.

Zheng Wu: "So, Brother Cangtian agreed to give us the book and shadow copyright of "Evil Awe-inspiring"? ”

Chang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, your family has a big business, and you have meat to eat." Yes, I personally decided to give you the copyright of the book shadow of "Evil Awe". There shouldn't be a big problem on Fenghua.com, I'll say hello to them at that time, and Brother Zheng will just follow the normal quotation procedure. ”

Zheng Wu also smiled: "Okay, we have reached an agreement on the strategic policy. God, I can see that you are a cheerful person. I don't like grinding either. Our cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation. Then next, in terms of transfer price. Brother Zheng hopes that we can both open the skylight and speak brightly. To tell you the truth, Brother Cangtian and I hit it off at first sight. Although talking about money hurts feelings, business belongs to business and feelings belong to feelings. I believe that our relationship will deepen over time, and business is only incidental. Feelings are brocade, business is flowers, can be icing on the cake is the best, even if there are no flowers, brocade itself is also precious. ”

"That's it. It is also my fate to be able to meet Brother Zheng. Chang Zheng made tea for Zheng Wu. To talk about business. Let's talk about feelings first. This Zheng Wuzhen can really talk and play the emotional card. After rendering the pure friendship, it's time to make a move.

Zheng Wu really showed a real money move: "Let's talk about the physical copyright of "Evil Awe" first. Last time I told Brother Cangtian, if you join us. As our company's original contract writer. We will definitely give you a good treatment. I'm still looking forward to the day when we can get closer. But even if you don't sign a contract with us, we will still pay for your work. A thousand-word buyout, or a 13% sales share, you can choose one. ”

Regarding Zheng Wu's initial offer, Chang Zheng didn't say anything about it for the time being, but he was doing some numerical addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations in his heart.

"Evil Awe-inspiring" is calculated according to the completion of 2.5 million words, and it will be bought out for thousands of words. Zheng Wu needs to pay a buyout fee of 2.5 million Tianhua yuan. Of the 2.5 million yuan, Chang Zheng can get seventy percent. is 1.75 million, and Fenghua.com wants to take 30%. After the buyout, whether "Evil Awe" sells well or hits the street in the future, it has nothing to do with Chang Zheng's economic income.

13% of the sales share, hey, that's a very particular percentage. Zheng Wu must have investigated, the sales share of "Infinite Terror" is 12%, and the share he gives is exactly 1% more than the share of "Infinite Terror". Look, a lot of careful calculations, good shrewd calculations. The sword god is not wrong, there is no businessman who is not shrewd.

The sales share is linked to the sales volume, and the more physical books are sold, the more Chang Zheng can earn. To be able to sell more than 1 million sets of books, it is not only about the quality, but also about the character, the market is ever-changing, and the tastes of readers are also changeable. The author of many million-dollar super-bestsellers may not know why they are so popular, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have the money.

Million-level super bestsellers are not up to Chang Zheng or publishers, and they have to be tested by the market. A book that sells more than 200,000 copies is a high-end bestseller, and it is worth celebrating. According to the calculation of 13% of the sales share, if "Evil Awe" sells 200,000 units, excluding the pumping of Fenghua.com, Chang Zheng can get 1.82 million yuan.

So 200,000 sets is a watershed. Chang Zheng predicts that if "Evil Awe" can sell 200,000 sets after it is listed, he will make more money by choosing the sales sharing model. If you sell less than 200,000 sets, you will choose the buyout mode to make more money.

The point is that the market is the same thing as the stock market, who can predict it accurately? So choosing to buy out or share is also a bit of a gamble for the author. Bo nature.

As for what Zheng Wu said to Chang Zheng last time, he would give both a buyout fee and a sales share, which was for the contracted writers of Suzaku Company. Of course, such a wild writer does not enjoy this double benefit.

Buyout or share? That's a problem.

After Chang Zheng finished his mental arithmetic, he quickly gave the answer: "Brother Zheng, I choose to share the sales." ”

Chang Zheng was confident in his book, so he chose to divide it. The reason why he made his choice so quickly, in addition to being confident, another reason is that physical copyright is just an appetizer, and the film and television copyright to talk about next is the main course.

He didn't even have a bargaining process, so he directly finalized the sharing model because he hadn't bet on the chips yet.

Chang Zheng actually has a heavy bargaining chip, that is, the film and television copyright of "Evil Spirit". Next, he is ready to bet on this heavy chip and gamble with Zheng Wuhao.

Zheng Wu was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Chang Zheng to reply so quickly, "Okay, Cangtian is really a cool person." Then we'll go according to the pattern of sharing. We have reached an agreement on physical copyright. So now, let's do further exchanges on film and television copyrights. ”

Chang Zheng took a sip of tea from the teacup, and after putting down the teacup, he said slowly: "Brother Zheng, the film and television copyright of "Evil Awe-inspiring", I don't plan to transfer it so early. Now that we've reached a common opinion on physical copyright, let's proceed with normal business procedures. ”

"Huh?" , Zheng Wu, who has always been elegant and calm, couldn't sit still, and he had a nervous look: "Brother Cangtian, the copyright of the book and shadow that I said was transferred to us together, how did I change the hexagram?" ”

Chang Zheng lifted the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Zheng Wu, and there was a hint of imperceptible cunning in his smile: "Brother Zheng, I haven't changed my hexagram." The copyright of the book and shadow of "Evil Awe" is indeed for you, and I didn't say no. I'm just saying that the film and television copyright is not going to be transferred so early for the time being. Don't worry, I won't give the film and television copyright to other companies, I will always keep it for you. Maybe I'll transfer it next year or the year after. ”

Zheng Wu didn't speak, but his expression was a little stiff.

Chang Zheng can probably guess Zheng Wu's current psychological activity, Brother Zheng must be scolding his mother, mother, next year and the year after? The daylilies are cold!

That's what you want. (To be continued......)
