Chapter 90 Formal Signing
The mobile phone used by Zhou Qing was originally a domestic machine, and there are no other advantages of domestic machines in these years, but it has done a good job in the quality of calls, simply put, you can turn on the volume of the amplifier on other mobile phones without turning on the megaphone when calling.
In addition, Fan Yong was too excited, his voice was inevitably higher, and the box was relatively quiet, so although Huang Ziqiang heard it completely, he also heard the words "game copyright" and "five million".
Zhou Qing, although he was also happy, was not as exaggerated as Fan Yong, so he said: "In addition to this money, did they mention the share?" ”
Zhou Qing knows that "Zhu Xian" has been popular for many years after being adapted into an online game, and it must be a lucrative game, and he is confident that in this life, the audience of "Zhu Xian" will be wider, and correspondingly, there will be more players converted by readers.
Fan Yong said: "This is not true, but I can arrange someone to talk to him." ”
Zhou Qing said: "Well, okay, in this way, you send me an agency contract for the game copyright, and the score will be 2:8!" ”
"It's not appropriate!"
Fan Yong hesitated and said, if the game copyright of "Zhu Xian" is sold, Mars Reading can be directly divided into one million, to be honest, the popularity of the book "Zhu Xian" has little to do with Mars Reading, and Zhou Qing's free model has increased the traffic of Mars Reading, but it has lost millions of subscription income.
Therefore, Zhou Qing wants to distribute the income of the game copyright to the company in two, and he will hesitate.
"Let's arrange it like this, okay, I still have something to do here, hang up first!"
After ending the call with Fan Yong, Zhou Qing put away his mobile phone, looked at Huang Ziqiang and said: "Editor-in-Chief Huang is sorry, I don't accept the publication buyout, okay, that's all for today, I'll leave first." ”
"Wait! Mr. Zhou. ”
Huang Ziqiang hurriedly shouted.
"Anything else?"
Zhou Qing looked back at him.
"I take the liberty of asking, was the game copyright of the book "Zhu Xian" about to be sold just now?"
Zhou Qing glanced at the other party with a smile: "This has nothing to do with Editor-in-Chief Huang, but since Editor-in-Chief Huang asked, I'll talk about it, I just received a call from the boss of Mars Reading, and a game company has taken a fancy to "Zhu Xian" and wants to spend five million to buy game copyrights. ”
Hearing this, Huang Ziqiang couldn't help but sigh lightly, in fact, he was inclined to buy out the publishing rights of "Zhu Xian", and the highest price in his heart was 500,000, originally he planned to talk to Zhou Qing slowly, but now it seems that people have sold five million game copyrights, how can they look at those 500,000?
And from the meeting to the present, this young man has been acting very calmly, and he has not shown that his book is about to be published, showing an expression of expectation and anxiety.
You must know that many new authors are full of expectations for the publication of their first book, and many people would rather publish it at their own expense, and Zhou Qing mentioned a 15% share, which shows that he is very confident in his book.
Fifteen percent go to sign a new author's book, and even if he agrees, the above will not agree.
Of course, it is also possible that the place just now was just a little trick played by Zhou Qing, deliberately raising his price, but if it is true, if "Zhu Xian" is adapted into an online game, it will still have a great boost to the physical sales of the book.
Collecting his thoughts, Huang Ziqiang spoke again: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, this way, I'll go back and report to the leader first, and see if I can increase the royalty!" ”
"No need!"
Zhou Qing waved his hand: "If the division is less than 15%, Editor-in-Chief Huang doesn't have to look for me!" ”
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
Huang Ziqiang said helplessly.
After the collapse of the conversation with Zhou Qing, Huang Ziqiang booked a ticket back to Jiangbin City, and before boarding, he made a few phone calls to ask people to find a way to find out if they could find out about the copyright of the game "Zhu Xian".
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Huang Ziqiang walked out of the airport, and at the same time, at this time, he received a phone call, which not only told him that there was indeed a large game company that took a fancy to the game copyright of "Zhu Xian", but also told him a lot about the author of Zhu Xian, the Bull Demon King.
Hearing that Zhou Qing actually took Dream Chinese to court, because Dream Chinese wanted to forcibly buy out because of the game copyright and was rejected by Zhou Qing, Dream Chinese took a series of stupid tricks, and then was quickly sued by Zhou Qing in court, and not only received due compensation, but also made the boss of Dream Chinese sentenced.
It can be seen that this Zhou Qing is not the kind of person who compromises easily, and thinking of this, he has less confidence in this cooperation.
Night.
Zhou Qing received an agency contract for the game copyright of "Zhu Xian" from Fan Yong and a serialization contract for the three books.
The next morning, Zhou Qing received a call from Fan Yong again, telling him the good news that the game company agreed to Zhou Qing's sharing conditions, saying that they could give one percent of the turnover share.
In this regard, Zhou Qing did not object and agreed.
It is already very good that the other party can give a one-percent turnover share, and with the popularity of "Zhu Xian", a one-percent share per month can get at least hundreds of thousands.
The other side.
Huang Ziqiang also found the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.
Hearing that an online author dared to ask for 15% of the royalty share when he opened his mouth, Song Jiahui, as the editor-in-chief, said without thinking: "What is there to talk about such an author who doesn't know the height of the sky, don't bother with him!" ”
Huang Ziqiang knew that there would be such a result, but he said with some unwillingness: "Editor-in-chief, as far as I know, Tianlong Game Company has planned to bid five million to buy the game copyright of this book, and once this book becomes an online game, the sales of this book will be greatly improved!" ”
Song Jiahui hesitated and said, "In that case, I will give him a two-point royalty!" ”
Hearing this, Huang Ziqiang smiled bitterly: "Editor-in-chief, the other party said that there is no need to talk about it if it is less than 15 percent!" ”
Song Jiahui's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "If you don't talk about it, don't talk about it, can our publishing house still be threatened by him as a small author, and you tell him that if he doesn't agree, he won't want to publish it in other publishing houses!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day.
The website and Tianlong Game Company initialed a contract for the sale of the game copyright of "Zhu Xian", however, it still needs to be signed by Zhou Qing in person, and tomorrow, Mars will read and accompany the people of the game company to Tianzhou City to sign the contract.
At the same time, the news that the game copyright of "Zhu Xian" was sold at a sky-high price of five million was also hung on the homepage of Mars Reading.
The news came out.
The Chiba Forum blew up.
Various groups of online authors also blew up.
Some authors congratulated him on this matter, others were jealous, and some people sourly told Zhou Qing about leaving the dream Chinese network, but no one echoed him.
As for the author of Mars Reading, he still has some expectations when he is envious and jealous, since the game copyright of "Zhu Xian" has been sold, does it mean that their game copyright can also be sold?
In short, because of the sale of the game copyright of "Zhu Xian", the prestige of Mars Reading among the author group has risen a lot, and many authors who are hesitating to go to the book have chosen Mars Reading.
As for Dream Chinese.com, although there are also authors selling game copyrights, but under the operation of Fat Sheep before, he did not dare to announce the real sale price, because they all bought the copyright in the author's hands at a low price and sold it to game companies.
And the games developed by those game companies are either not developed, or although they are online, their influence is really average.
"Hey!"
As the editor-in-chief of Dream Chinese Network, Green Pothos sighed secretly, originally all these honors belonged to Dream Chinese Network, but the fat sheep that fool wanted to buy and sell strongly, but forced Zhou Qing not to say anything, and ended up with a notoriety.
On the second day, Zhou Qing signed a formal contract with Tianlong Game Company, and said that the copyright fee would be paid to Mars Reading within three days.
Only two days later, Zhou Qing received a sum of more than three million yuan in his account, why is there only more than three million, naturally he has to pay taxes.
At the same time, after the sale of the game copyright of "Zhu Xian", Mars Reading increased the promotion of the book Zhu Xian, and the pirated website had problems, so it was just a few days.
Zhu Xian's clicks have skyrocketed to more than 5 million, and the collection has also skyrocketed to 600,000.
