Chapter 249: The Reader's Carnival

Whether he completely destroyed a girl's dream, Sun Peng really doesn't know.

Perhaps, it is really possible.

After all, signing Chen Ruoyi, the most energetic and creative five years in her life, is likely to mean ruining her dream. After all, Shui is not sure if she will be able to create her own works after working as a painter for Sun Peng for five years.

But the road was given by Sun Peng, but she also chose it herself.

The only thing Sun Peng knows is that as long as there are no accidents, Chen Ruoyi will no longer have to worry about her livelihood in her life, and she will no longer have to worry about gaining a foothold in the big city of Beijing. It can even be said optimistically that it may not take many years for Chen Ruoyi to become an existence that most people in the picture book industry look up to!

You can do this with a paper contract.

A five-year cooperation agreement will provide at least one set of Sun Peng's original picture books every year, with 1,000 yuan per page of original paintings, plus 10% of the royalty share of the picture books. In other words, in the picture books that the two will collaborate on in the future, in addition to Sun Peng giving Chen Ruoyi 1,000 yuan per page, all the royalties obtained from the publishing house will also be distributed to her as an artist!

I have to say that this is a very wise choice for Chen Ruoyi.

Take "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" as an example, this year's sales are at least 200,000 sets, and the royalty of each set is almost 40 yuan, which is 8 million! 10% of the share is 800,000, and it will continue every year in the future......

is as shrewd as Chen Ruoyi, of course, she will not give up this long-term meal ticket.

In fact, they chose a one-time buyout of "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" before, which already made Chen Ruoyi regret it. After painting "Frozen" this time, seeing the sales of the last set of books, and looking at the quality of this set of picture books in her hand, the girl naturally thought about it a little carefully, and chose the basic remuneration plus royalty sharing model provided by Sun Peng - for a set of picture books, this is a matter of course.

The original is the original, and the painting is the painting.

Each has its own labor and knowledge to invest in it, so it is normal for painting to take a part of the royalty share. Sun Peng didn't care either, but after removing the subsequent adaptations and peripheral income, he negotiated the above conditions with Chen Ruoyi.

"It's a pity that you got it a little late."

Looking at Chen Ruoyi, who was slightly excited, Sun Peng shook his head secretly.

When I first talked about "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", in fact, Sun Peng's conditions were better, and it could be said that it was a world different from now! In addition to the surrounding income not included, they are also given a share of the adaptation according to the custom, and the proportion is as high as forty percent! Even if they choose the current basic manuscript fee plus royalty sharing, the proportion of giving them two is 20%!

Unfortunately, both girls gave up this right and opted for a one-time buyout that would allow them to get more money as soon as possible – mainly because they weren't sure how the book would sell in the future.

But now, it is no longer possible to get such good conditions.

At that time, Sun Peng was a newcomer in the field of picture books, but now he is an original author of picture books with an annual sales of 200,000 sets...... This level is no longer the same, and the bargaining space of the girl is naturally compressed to the extreme.

If you still want the conditions of last time, Sun Peng can be replaced.

You must know that even if Sun Peng is willing to give the girl her due part, it is not exaggerated to the point of being a philanthropist. With his current fame, although it is inevitable to talk about royalty sharing if he finds someone else, there is a lot of room for negotiation if he has a high number of first prints as a basis. It's just that it's too troublesome for Sun Peng, so it's more comfortable to cooperate with Chen Ruoyi, who is familiar with him......

So she was able to get a share of ten points, and Chen Ruoyi was also very satisfied.

Keep in mind that even if it's only ten points, that's a pretty big number. There are only five copies of "Frozen", but as long as there is a sales of the last set, then the annual royalty income is at least 400,000, and it can be won year after year......

"Teacher Sun, when will our next set of picture books start?"

After negotiating all the conditions, Chen Ruoyi couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Well, there's no hurry!"

Thinking of the mess he had on hand now, Sun Peng shook his head with a headache and said: "I guess I have to wait for another two or three months, well, at least I have to look at the sales of "Frozen" first!" ”

Just find a reason, and Sun Peng will fool him.

But of course Chen Ruoyi didn't know this, and hurriedly smiled: "Teacher Sun, don't worry, the sales of Frozen will definitely not be bad, what a beautiful story...... But can you tell me in advance what genre your next story will be? I'd better prepare for the mission in advance! ”

"Hmm...... Next, let's draw Huaxia's own story. ”

Thinking of what he promised Zheng Jia last time, Sun Peng couldn't help but laugh. Although I am not very confident in most of the local works on the earth, it is not impossible for Hollywood to make animated films related to China, especially the cartoon related to kung fu, which happens to be very correct with my current identity as a martial arts ancestor?

"The story of Huaxia?"

After listening to Sun Peng's answer, Chen Ruoyi was also in good spirits.

Unlike twenty or thirty years ago, when their generation grew up, Huaxia had already become quite powerful, so they were not so cold about foreign-style stories. When Chen Ruoyi heard Sun Peng say that she wanted to create a story about China, she was naturally happy in her heart, and nodded again and again: "This is good, this is good, in fact, I also think that our own culture in China is so profound, it is not easy for you to create a story?" ”

"Uh...... Ha ha. ”

Scratching his head, Sun Peng was a little embarrassed......

……

On the last day of the year, Sun Peng felt a little lonely.

The traditional gathering of the family is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, although the sister-in-law also called over to ask him to come over for dinner, but after sending Chen Ruoyi away, Sun Peng was too lazy to move, and declined the invitation of the sister-in-law, and then refused the eldest sister and uncle. As for Zheng Jia's words, he was supposed to go to work today and go home at night......

So after casually making himself a bowl of noodles, Sun Peng wandered around the Internet boringly.

"Didi, Didi!"

was bored watching the news, Lao Zhao's TT avatar suddenly flashed.

"Xiaopeng, don't forget to promote Criminal Minds again tomorrow!"

opened it and took a look, as Sun Peng expected, he let himself promote the news of the launch of the new drama. Moving his eyelids, Sun Peng lazily typed a line: "Okay, I'll do it right away, don't worry!" ”

Closing the TT, Sun Peng looked at the news of "Criminal Minds" on the Internet.

It will be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV tomorrow, whether it is Beijing Satellite TV or Golden Eagle Video, and even Qian Hong, Lin Lin and other leading actors are working hard to promote, and the momentum is quite large. It's just that because it's the first time on TV, the first three episodes of the pilot drama must also be played once, so most fans are quite dissatisfied, and they shout every day that they want to start broadcasting from the fourth episode.

Of course, no one cares about their cries.

Although there is an intersection between online audiences and TV audiences, most of them are still different, and it is impossible for TV stations or producers to change their original plans for these fans. In addition, the second and third episodes may not matter, but if the first episode is not broadcast, what will happen to the character design of the protagonist team?

So no matter how loud the fans shout, it won't have a half-effect.

After watching the excitement for a while, Sun Peng finally opened his interface. casually looked at the book review area, it was as lively as ever, after all, now Tianlong and Lu Ding Ji have come to an end, and the big scenes have come out one after another, whether Xiao Feng broke into Shaolin or swept the floor monk, whether Wei Xiaobao was on the big bed or fought Princess Sophia to win glory for the country, it is the most classic clip in martial arts, and it also makes everyone look forward to the follow-up plot more and more.

And......

One of the most popular posts in the book review area made Sun Peng happy when he read it.

"Scatter flowers to celebrate, Bai Da is finally going to write a big story!"

When I opened it, I saw that thousands of threads were celebrating the fact that two books were not completed on the last day of the year!

This past month, this has been a hot topic of discussion among fans!

There is no doubt that whether it is "Dragon Babu" or "The Legend of Deer and Ding", in the eyes of many people, Lao Bai is the most exciting, especially "Dragon Babu", the larger scenes and more magical martial arts settings make people fascinated, and the unprecedented setting of the three protagonists also makes many people want to watch it. As for "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Lao Bai's first time writing "Harem Text" also scratched the itch of many people, and Wei Xiaobao's life is not much more reckless than that of a virtual bamboo.

If it is still finished at the end of the year, who can be willing to do it?

So even if he knows that Lao Bai almost doesn't come to the book review area, no matter how many posts he makes, he may not be able to see it, but in the past month, there are still more than 2,000 related posts, all of which strongly appeal to Lao Bai not to finish the book so early and keep writing - if it weren't for the fact that there is no reward in this world, maybe there will be hundreds of more alliance leaders just for this suggestion!

Before the release of this chapter at noon today, I don't know how many people are worried about it!

So when everyone saw that Tianlong and Luding were not finished, and there was obviously a follow-up, the entire book review area was boiling.

A carnival begins.

Tens of thousands of readers poured in, expressing their joy and excitement at being able to read two more books. There are brain-opening and even sworn announcements that it should be the result of the two books being too good, the website putting pressure on Lao Bai, and earning a large amount of manuscript fees......

"Tsk, what a lovely reader!"

After turning a few pages, smiling and smiling, Sun Peng shook his head with some regret and said, "It's a pity that I can't decide how long these two books can be written." But you're much luckier than Han Feng, at least this expectation can be maintained for a month, or even longer......"
