Chapter XXII Authorized Negotiations
Wang Yang turned the tablet to Yan Le, swiped the webpage on it with his hand and said: "This is my Wenxin ID landing page, this is the writer's backstage of Longteng Novel Network. β
"And this is the TM account we communicated."
"This is my ID."
After Yan Le examined the most basic proof information of the young man in front of her, she nodded, her expression showing some apology.
At present, she can be sure that the young man is a health maniac on the Internet, but it remains to be seen whether he is the real original creator of the two works "Ethereal Journey" and "First Close Contact".
She already believed fifty percent in her heart, but she still had a little reservation.
Yan Le pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Wang, that's the case, I apologize to you first, but can you tell me how you created "First Close Contact"? Did you adapt it from your own experience, or did you hear some real stories from the previous generation, and you recorded them? β
The biggest reason why the ruffian Cai and the light dance are so popular is that the story is particularly true and simple, the time background of the story belongs to the early 80s, according to the story of the characters in the book, if the author is born in the 60s and is a middle-aged uncle, then Yan Le has no doubts at all.
But in front of her is a post-80s student, after she looked at her ID card, she knew that Wang Yang would only turn 18 years old in May this year, this is a child, how can he create a story that belongs to the previous generation of parents?
"This story is indeed what happened to the previous generation, but after my literary processing, a lot of fictional elements have been added, real and fictional, such as the light dance Feiyang and the ruffian Cai Pian in it, including many interesting stories that happened to the two of them are made up by me, and the online dating and the heroine's terminal illness are real." Wang Yang said without changing his face.
Yan Le suddenly asked, "So, at the end, the light dance Feiyang died?" β
Wang Yang sighed: "Do you think I will write such a bad ending?" β
Yan Le's face flushed, and she asked, "Then can you tell me what the ending is?" β
"The terminal illness of Qingwu Feiyang is called 'butterfly-shaped lupus erythematosus', she went back to Taipei for treatment and lost contact with the ruffian Tsai, and the content of the letter is the introduction of the book."
"If I had one more day to live, I would be your girlfriend that day. Do I have one more day to live? There is no ......" Yan Le muttered to herself, she looked at Wang Yang with a sad face, glanced at Wang Yang with some resentment, and asked, "Can't you write a happy ending, or write a multiple ending?" What a good love, is it ending tragically like this? β
"Please, I've already set the ending from the beginning, not to mention that my ending is also an open-ended ending, I won't write her death, I won't write her live, do you think there is a more suitable ending than this? In ancient times, Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo could turn into butterflies and fly together, that is because the process of love is miserable, so the happy ending can be sung forever, but my book, the love process is extremely beautiful and interesting, if the ending is also a great consummation, do you think this will be a classic novel? β
"yes, that's a clichΓ©."
"That's it."
Wang Yang was bored paddling on the tablet, he felt that Yan Le was not like he came to buy the copyright, but like a hardcore reader, who traveled thousands of miles to discuss the plot of the novel.
Seeing him like this, Yan Le hurriedly retracted her thoughts, and she took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Wang, I don't know how many words your novel has been completed?" β
"There are still 10,000 words left to finish at most, and you know that the end is near."
"In this way, we will give you a calculation of 55,000 words, the price is 3,000 words per thousand, and a total of 1.65 million Chinese dollars will buy the copyright of the film and television adaptation of your novel "The First Close Contact" within 20 years."
After that, Yan Le got two contracts from the lawyer and handed one to Wang Yang.
Three thousand words! 1,650,000 Chinese dollars! This price really scared Wang Yang, but "The First Close Contact" must not be measured by how much money is a thousand words, this is a film and television IP value, including the current IP popularity and influence value of the novel.
In terms of the content of the contract, Wang Yang didn't find anything wrong, because he is not a professional lawyer, but an exclusive 20-year film and television adaptation copyright, and the adapted content does not need to be approved by the author, although this is nothing, after all, the film and television script is very different from the original novel, and it is not an uncommon thing.
It's just that the time is indeed a bit too long, 20 years!
Even if the possibility of adapting film and television works for many times in "The First Close Contact" is not so great, but the 20-year exclusive authorization, the average annual cost is only 82,500 Chinese dollars, the price is not bad for newcomers, but for Wang Yang, who has the confidence to become a generation of grandmasters in the future, this is the price of cabbage.
"I think keep the price the same and shorten the exclusivity period to 10 years, or do you want to re-quote?" Wang Yang asked tentatively.
"It's impossible for the price to go up, if it's ten years, I'll pay up to 1 million Chinese dollars." Yan Le said seriously, she seemed to be very sincere.
"If you want to talk like this, then I need to think carefully, now I deliberately cut off the change to hang my appetite and attract popularity, I believe that when the ending comes out, more entertainment companies will come to the door......"
The two talked about the price, and the mustache and his girlfriend next to him were a little stunned!
This seems to be talking about the film and television adaptation authorization of the work, what 1.65 million, 1 million Chinese dollars, so that the mustache's face is hot and hot, he didn't dare to speak, so he listened with his ears pricked up.
Mustache's works have never been bought by anyone at the door of the film and television rights, and he has dreamed of seeing his novels made into TV series and movies, and be noticed and discussed by people.
However, the dream he has been chasing all his life, and the "waiter" over there is about to come true!
Thinking about what happened before, the mustache felt like a clown, a little self-conscious.
He wanted to get up and leave at this time, but his girlfriend Junjun dragged him and asked in a low voice: "Brother Momo, you said that he wouldn't really be better than you, right?" β
The mustache felt as if he had been stepped on, or slapped in the face, and this person was actually his girlfriend Junjun.
"I don't know!" The mustache said to her coldly.
"I'll ask him later." The mustachioed girlfriend smiled, and she said, "If he is really good, you can ask him for advice and get to know him!" β
The mustache said angrily: "Junjun, the literati are light, I won't ask him for advice!" β
"Wang Nima, do you want to go, then you go!" Junjun suddenly shouted loudly, she felt that her boyfriend was too incompetent and stingy, she had already lost face and vanity for the sake of the mustache, but she didn't expect that the mustache would not appreciate it.
A waiter's work can be adapted for film and television, but he can't, and he doesn't ask for advice and study when he meets a master, so he is too unmotivated!
She's so angry!
