Chapter 42 Modes of Cooperation
"Mom, it seems that I can't go to school today, you can help me ask for a leave."
Faced with the expressions of his parents who wanted to speak and stopped, Su Wen broke the silence first.
Qin Qing nodded, still puzzled: "Xiaowen, when did you have a relationship with the cultural company?" ”
Su Yuan was also strange and curious.
Su Wen thought about it, organized the language, and told the beginning and end of writing a play to participate in the Chinese Drama Creation Competition, and only then did he talk about this call: "People think that my play has market prospects and want to talk about cooperation." ”
"That'...... Do you want me to go with you? Su Yuan was afraid that his son would suffer a loss, so he wanted to accompany his son out to talk about business cooperation.
Su Wen shook his head: "Dad, I'm eighteen years old and can handle such a scene." You should let me work out. ”
"That's it, our Xiaowen is much smarter than you!" Qin Qing helped, "You are only eighteen years old and you have works that can cooperate with cultural companies, you didn't have such ability and talent back then!" ”
Su Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded yes, but he still warned his son to be wary of traps in business cooperation, not to agree on impulse, to think carefully, and if not, take the agreement back and study it carefully.
This is Lao Cheng's serious words, and Su Wen agreed.
After continuing to eat breakfast, looking at the time, it was time to go out, and after cleaning up, Su Wen went straight to the place where he agreed to meet Liang Feng.
As a city with a population of 5 million, Yuezhou is not big or small.
Fangyuan Culture Company is in the business district, and the place where Su Wen's house is located is a residential area, and there is some distance between the two places. Fortunately, the transportation is convenient, and it only takes 20 minutes to take the subway.
The place agreed by the two is not far from Fangyuan Culture Company.
Because I wanted to discuss cooperation, I found a coffee shop with a quiet environment.
Soon, Su Wen entered the coffee shop and called Liang Feng to confirm. The latter was already waiting inside, and as soon as Su Wen entered, he saw him greeting him.
The two met.
Su Wen looked at the deputy editor-in-chief, with a half-bald head and a ruddy face, showing the demeanor of a successful person.
If you are just a middle school student, you may be a little nervous and apprehensive when you meet your superiors, and you may even fidget, and you can't even speak.
Su Wen is not an inexperienced rookie, in his previous life, as a well-known editor, he has seen a lot of people, experienced a lot of things, dealt with people in all kinds of industries, and talked about a lot of business agreements.
Therefore, he can still face Liang Feng calmly.
Liang Feng looked at Su Wen with a little curiosity, although he had checked Su Wen's information from the background of the website and knew that he was a young man who had just turned eighteen, but he was still very surprised when he saw it in person.
This young man is tall and thin, his complexion is not very fair, but he is very healthy, energetic, looks more handsome, and a little Sven, and has a more gentle temperament.
A kind of literati-style elegance is revealed from the inside out, this temperament is not amazing, because Liang Feng has been engaged in this industry for I don't know how many years, he has seen countless writers, and he has seen all kinds of temperament.
He was amazed by Su Wen's age!
At such a young age, you can write a play like Romeo and Juliet!
The Chinese Empire has a long culture, the world's largest historical heritage, and has also given birth to many literary geniuses, and it is not difficult to write dramas in their teens. However, most of the works written by teenagers are youth campus themes, and even if they are commercialized, they are more of works that cater to the market.
Have you ever seen an eighteen-year-old boy write a tragedy?
It's still a very powerful tragedy!
The combination of these two points made Liang Feng have to look at Su Wen differently.
The two met and shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, most of which were Liang Feng's words of complimenting Su Wen, and Su Wen was polite a few times.
After the greetings, Liang Feng got straight to the point and went straight to the point: "Su, we can talk about cooperation." ”
Hearing that he changed his name, Su Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, his spirit lifted a little, and he dealt with it carefully. Before this, Liang Feng called him Mr., but now he is called a classmate, just to suppress his identity, saying that he is young and a student, even if he wants to cooperate, his status is relatively low.
The status is low, and the price that can be negotiated is naturally not high!
Laughing, Su Wen nodded and said, "Editor-in-Chief Liang might as well talk about how to cooperate first?" As for the details, we can talk about it. ”
Liang Feng was even more straightforward, directly took out a few pieces of paper from the briefcase he brought, handed them to Su Wen, and said, "This is an agreement between our company and the playwright, you can understand how to cooperate when you look at it." ”
Su Wen stretched out his hand to take it, and let Liang Feng wait leisurely drinking coffee, but he plunged into the terms of the agreement and read it carefully.
The agreement is very long, but many of them are false, and there are relatively few dry goods, so Su Wen quickly figured out the content of the cooperation of Fangyuan Culture Company.
Raising his head, facing Liang Feng's confident expression, Su Wen pushed the agreement back.
"Done?" Liang Feng slowly put down the cup in his hand, smiled slightly, and said a few more words, "Classmate Su, our company has a corresponding level for new writers, and your agreement can be said to be the highest level." ”
"300,000 to buy out all copyrights, is it also the highest?" Su Wen smiled and disagreed.
Yes, there is not much dry goods in this agreement, the point is to buy out the full copyright of "Romeo and Juliet" by way of buyout, and the price is 300,000 Chinese dollars!
It's a hammer deal.
After the buyout, the copyright of this drama will have nothing to do with Su Wen in the future, whether it is publishing, public performance, film and television, or games, it has nothing to do with Su Wen.
As for whether the Fangyuan Culture Company is losing or earning, that is the business of others.
Liang Feng explained: "300,000 Chinese dollars is really a lot! It is equivalent to 300,000 US dollars or 300,000 euros in the world, and its purchasing power is quite strong. Student Su, maybe you don't know the market in the theater industry, many playwrights only pay more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to write a play. As for the newcomer authors, there are even fewer pitiful, tens of thousands, or even thousands. Your remuneration can be said to be quite generous. ”
Su Wen asked rhetorically: "If I am comparable to those newcomer authors, and the book is only worth tens of thousands, I think Liang Da, editor-in-chief, you won't meet me now, right?" I guess someone sent me casually a long time ago! ”
Liang Feng's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly: "That is to say, classmate Su is not satisfied with this offer?" ”
Su Wen nodded and said, "Full copyright, that's not okay!" I remember that the key business of your Fangyuan Culture Company is publishing and film and television, and these two copyrights can be given to you, even the game copyright. However, I have to keep the copyright of the theater performance. ”
"Romeo and Juliet" is very famous and a classic, but in Su Wen's memory, it did not have very good results in film and television.
As a classical drama, its value is more reflected in the performance, from the beginning of its birth, because of its dramatic tension, after being staged in the theater, it has been praised and swept half the world.
If it is in another world, in the era of the rise of the Internet, the copyright of any theater performance is chicken ribs. However, this world is different, especially in the Chinese Empire, since the civil and military saints, drama has been very developed, and the inheritance is continuous, there is no war in the country, there are big theaters in various cities, and people with a little cultural background are proud to watch dramas.
The world's theater culture is very developed, and although the output value is not as good as that of film and television publishing, it is also a major module of culture.
"Impossible!" Liang Feng categorically denied Su Wen's claim, "The rest is good to discuss, the copyright of the theater performance, we can't leave it to the author." This is a drama competition, and the theater performance is its foundation! ”
Su Wen shrugged: "If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any need to talk about it, right?" ”
Liang Feng's face changed, and he asked after a while: "Su Wen, you can mention other conditions, and I will see if I can agree or not." As for the theater performance, don't mention it, no cultural company will leave you this copyright! ”
Liang Feng kicked the ball back to Su Wen and asked him to make his own conditions.
Su Wen was silent for a while, bowing his head and pondering.
