Chapter 35 Finalization of a new contract worth one million
Han Li guessed correctly, it was not cookies that spoke, but the teapot of the editor-in-chief of the entire historical military channel. This person is one of the editors-in-chief of several major channels of the website, and he is also the veteran of the website, and he has a considerable right to speak.
For the teapot's words, Han Li smiled slightly. To be honest, the advantage is now on Han Li's side, although the contract has been signed. But because of Han Li's changes in the number of words and the outline of the story, he was able to finish the book quickly, and he did not break the contract.
In this way, the website that wants to maximize the profit will naturally lose a lot, so it will definitely not agree. That's why the site now finds him.
Through a direct conversation with the teapot, Han Li also understood the meaning of the website. The intention of the website is obvious, that is, to sign a new contract with Han Li, which can be regarded as a supplement to the previous contract.
However, the current Han Oak is no longer the Han Oak who just opened the book. If you don't show some sincerity, it's definitely impossible to sign this contract.
As for the removal and banning of the website by implication, Han Li is not worried at all. Because this is 09 years, it is far from the point where the dot family dominates in later generations.
In fact, after Han Li's book became popular, many editors from other stations have found Han Li and want to discuss with him about changing jobs. And in line with the long-term plan, Han Li has not agreed.
So now if the website pushes him too hard, then changing jobs is also an option, although it is a last resort. Because in the long run, the development of the dot side is still very good, and Han Li doesn't want to lose it easily.
"If you agree to a new contract, we will increase the resources invested in you. In addition, we can also give you a more favorable contract for this book. For example, in the future, we will only charge 20% of the management fee for the book's reward prop income, and the remaining 80% will all belong to you. ”
Seeing this, Han Li sneered in his heart. I want to send him away on this condition, and I really think he is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.
"Oh!" Han Li replied.
……
"And what do you think?" Teapot couldn't wait.
"Done?" Han Li replied.
"It's over!"
"Oh!" Han Li replied with another word.
And the teapot in front of the computer screen was full of black lines and scolded the mother directly.
"Boss, I don't think this Han Li is the kind of immature child, let's do it another way." The cookie next to the teapot said carefully.
"In another way?" Teapot glanced at Cookie.
Cookie nodded and said, "Let's talk to him directly, after all, we don't have too much advantage now." I guess there are a lot of websites out there to find him, and if they know about the loophole in this contract before they do, then we'll be passive. ”
"Why didn't you pay attention when you signed the contract at that time, otherwise we wouldn't be so passive." Teapot sighed when he heard Cookie's words.
Well, Cookie was a little embarrassed and said: "We didn't expect this to happen now, and he talked directly to the company's contracted editor about the contract, and we didn't know about it." ”
The teapot didn't say anything after listening to the cookies. After thinking about it, he said: "You come and talk to him, according to the conditions we said before, the contract must be signed, understand." ”
Hearing the words of the teapot, the cookie fell poorly, which was directly thrown to him, and sure enough, the official was crushed to death.
Seeing the teapot leave, Cookie reluctantly replied to Han Li: "I'm Cookie, are you alive?" ”
"Boss, I'm here." Looking at the news that it will be restored soon, the cookie is full of black hearts.
"That's pretty much it, if it's stiff, it's a big loss to you, you know." Cookie sighed, and then replied to Han Li.
And Han Li also knew that this was Cookie's heart, after all, as an individual, even if he had an advantage, it was impossible to confront such a company, which was unrealistic. And the fact that cookies can say this to Han Li now is interesting enough.
"Thank you, Boss." Han Li said with a smile.
"As long as you agree to change the contract, the website can give you a new sharing contract, in which the reward props are still as mentioned above, and the subscription share, we can make one percent, you account for six, and we account for four." Cookie replied.
Looking at the conditions given by the cookies, Han Li also nodded. Although such conditions are not as good as the contracts of some top gods, they are also quite generous.
However, this is not what he likes, what he likes is film and television copyright and game copyright.
"Film, TV and game rights?" Cookie was also a little surprised by this, and secretly admired Han Li's vision in his heart. This guy has been going around for so long, so it's on this.
Knowing Han Li's plan, Cookie also knows the direction. However, in this regard, he can't be the master, so he can only report to the editor-in-chief Teapot.
"Film and television and game copyrights, I underestimate him!" The editor-in-chief teapot was also a little surprised.
After thinking for a while, the teapot said to the cookie: "Tell him that we can make concessions in this regard." But the premise is that he must stay on the site and not change jobs. ”
The teapot's intention is very clear, that is, this book and Han Li must be left behind. In the past two years, with the increase in investment in the outstation, the dot network has lost a lot of authors, many of whom are still old authors and god-level authors with good sales.
In order to maintain the website's advantage in the online literature industry, they must now control the outflow of authors, especially the authors of popular works.
Therefore, compared with film and television copyrights and revenue sharing, Teapot is more interested in the popularity of this book and a heavyweight author who is about to rise. This is obviously much more important for the value of the website than that little income.
After a dusty bargain with the site's representatives, the two sides finally locked in a 6.5 to 3.5 split of the film and game rights. Han Oak accounted for 6.5, while websites accounted for 3.5.
Of course, Han Li also agreed to sign a new contract. And also promised that it will be licensed to the website, and they will be responsible for the operation of the film and game copyright. Of course, Han Li can also operate these two copyrights, but you have to notify the website to know about it.
Moreover, the sales contract of these two copyrights must be signed by Han Li and the website to be valid.
As for the new contract, Han Li also reached an agreement with the website. Han agreed to stay on the site for five years. In the past five years, all of Han Li's literary works have been owned by the website, and the website can pay Han Li according to the agreed sharing agreement.
Friends who are a little familiar with this aspect of online articles should know that this is what authors usually call long contracts. It's just that Han Li's long-term contract is different from other long-term contracts.
First of all, although Han Li's long contract stipulates that it is a literary work, it is only limited to novels and prose, such as poems and scripts, which are not included.
In addition, the general length contract is stipulated to have a number of words, and although Han Li's also stipulates the number of words, it is only two million words with symbolic meaning, which is still easy to achieve.
Of course, there is one thing that is the same as an ordinary long-term contract, that is, Han Li's contract also has a signing fee. It's just that because Han Li's requirements are more demanding, the signing fee is not too high.
One million for five years, paid in three installments. The first tranche of 300,000 will arrive within one month after signing the contract. The second tranche of $400,000 will be paid three years after the date of contract, and the remaining will be paid after the five-year period.
Of course, there are other bits and pieces in this long contract, so I won't go into them here.
It is worth mentioning that in order to sign this new contract, Han Li also hired a lawyer to help him review the new contract. As for the website, a representative was also sent to sign with Han Li under the notarization of a notary public.
