Chapter 12 Excuse me, you have to pay royalties!

Before I knew it, another two days had passed.

Early in the morning, the morning glow fills the sky.

"Business must be good today!"

Before going out, Gu Ming encouraged himself.

In the past two days, five more books have been sold, and with the five books taken by He Yongliang, there are only eighteen books left.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

In another six or seven days, the mission should be completed.

didn't set up a stall, and without waiting for Gu Ming to solicit business, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over: "Boss, are you selling Du Shi Niang here?" ”

Look at this question.

I don't sell people here, I only sell books!

Of course, ideas are thoughts, but what comes out of the mouth is: "There are yes, there are some, one hundred and twenty wen...... One copy. ”

"Give me one, his grandmother's storyteller, who hangs people's appetites every day, I can't wait."

The middle-aged man whined and took out the money.

"Yes, yes, you take it back, and a person can look at it however he wants."

Count the money, get the book, and make the deal!

It's a good opening!

"Ahem, Xiucai, give me a copy to see......"

Wu Laoqi also seemed to be a little moved, and said with a salivating face.

"Give the money as you like!"

"What are you doing with this slamming the door? The old man didn't take it away, so he watched the time here. ”

"No way!"

Gu Ming simply refused.

With this old guy's personality, it is not impossible to go back and copy a copy after reading it, and then take it out and sell it for thirty or forty yuan.

"You ......"

"Come on, come on, walk by and don't miss ......"

Gu Ming lazily ignored it and began to shout at the top of his throat.

"Huh? Du Shi Niang, let's go, take a look. ”

Obviously, after the promotion of several storytellers, Du Shi Niang's story has gained a certain popularity, and at the moment, several women came around.

"I'll just say that my man has been in the evil for the past two days, and he will talk about Du Shi Niang if he has nothing to do......"

"No, the one in my house ran to the teahouse as soon as he threw down the bowl......"

As the saying goes, selling money does not sell money, and the stalls should be rounded.

In other words, popularity is important.

Most people like to be lively, especially in the context of the lack of entertainment in ancient times.

In addition, the story of "Du Shi Niang" has slowly spread in the county, so the more people surround it.

It's a pity that there are many people watching, but no one starts.

Gu Ming took it upon himself and began to play with marketing skills: "Everyone, there are only a dozen copies left, I don't know how long I will have to wait for the next arrival, as the so-called buy first and enjoy ...... first"

After some agitation, someone finally began to bargain.

After gossiping and repeatedly lowering the price, Gu Ming could only insist: "One hundred words, really one penny can't be missing." ”

"Okay, let's have a copy!"

"I'll buy one too, and it's more flavorful to read it and listen to it again."

Anyway, there were a few literate people, and two of them bought a copy each.

After that, it was still good luck, and five more copies were sold one after another, so happy that Gu Ming couldn't close his mouth, and he didn't even bother to advertise.

There are only ten copies left.

Will it be sold out tomorrow?

At noon, another copy was sold. However, the flow of people on the streets has clearly begun to decrease.

According to this situation, Gu Ming estimated that he might be able to sell two or three copies in the afternoon, and the remaining few copies should be no problem tomorrow.

Just as he was about to go to dinner, a man who looked like Sven and was about thirty years old walked up to the stall.

"This brother, do you need calligraphy and painting or ......?"

"Well, let's see."

The man directly picked up a copy of "Du Shi Niang".

After just watching a short paragraph, Gu Ming realized that something was wrong with this person.

When others read a book, they either read it quietly, shake their heads, or mumble their heads, which can be understood.

But the man hummed while pinching the orchid finger and gesturing......

Could it be a sissy?

Originally, this didn't care about Gu Ming's business, your mother, yours, me?

But the man looked at it for a long time...... It's a little uncomfortable.

So, Gu Ming coughed dryly and asked, "This brother is so energetic, come to a copy?" ”

The man came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little into the drama for a while." ”

Sure enough, it's a sissy.

Most of them are taking on the role of Du Shi Niang.

"Hehe, understand, understand."

Gu Ming smiled meaningfully.

As a result, the other party was not stupid, he seemed to have guessed Gu Ming's thoughts, waved his hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, in fact, I am the head of a drama troupe in the east of the city, and I happened to listen to a commentary, which is the story of Du Shi Niang."

Right now, I feel like there's a drama ......"

Sure enough, there is a play!

Gu Ming suddenly became energetic.

This fully shows that this class leader has vision.

After all, the story of Du Siniang was widely spread in Gu Ming's previous life, and I don't know how many times it has been adapted on stage, stage, film and television.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is the owner of the pear orchard, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"Seeing a smile and laughing, the contemptible surname is Gong, the name is right, and it can be regarded as a scholar...... I just watched such a paragraph, and I appreciate it very much, so I want to buy a copy and adapt it into an opera when I go back......"

"Oh, so you want to adapt the opera, not bad."

"Hehe, how much?"

Gong Zhengle smiled and made a gesture to pay for it.

"Two taels of silver, thank you."

"Smack!"

The book in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

"What? Two taels of silver? ”

Gong Zheng thought he had misheard.

In fact, he roughly asked the storyteller about the price, and the other party said that it was more than 100 at most.

"That's right, I usually sell one hundred and twenty wen for others, but if you want to adapt it into an opera, it will be two taels of silver."

Miyamasa was upset.

"Why? Aren't you a pit man? ”

"No, no, no, you listen to me, the palace master. Others buy it back for appreciation, and you buy it back for profit, am I right? ”

"This ......"

Gu Ming smiled and continued: "This is called copyright fee!" ”

In fact, this is also a question that Gu Ming thought of temporarily, a big problem that he had to face in the future.

What is the current world about copyright and infringement?

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he had to slowly start instilling this idea in people.

Otherwise, most of the books he wrote in the future will fall into the embarrassing situation of piracy flying all over the sky and being helpless.

Of course, Gu Ming knew that it would be difficult for him to change the status quo on his own.

At least not yet.

So, let's start little by little.

There will come a time when people should establish the right values and understand the concept of genuine and piracy.

"Royalties?"

"Yes, you can understand it as an adaptation fee paid to the original author.

Maybe you won't understand it for a while......

Let's give you an example, if you work hard to make up a play, but you haven't started it yet, but it is stolen by someone else and you act it first.

Then will you be very angry and go to the door to find the other party's theory? ”

"Mm-hmm, of course it will ......"

Gong Zheng nodded subconsciously.

Then he realized that he had been fooled, and hurriedly said: "These are two different things. ”

"No, it's the same thing!"

"Forget it, don't buy it, pit man!"

Gong Zheng turned around and left.

Gu Ming was not in a hurry, and shouted at the other party's back: "If I heard that you adapted this opera, then don't blame me for suing the official!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Gong Zheng almost didn't fall.

Indeed, he is going to buy a copy elsewhere and then adapt it into an opera, so why spend money here?

As soon as I heard the word "sue the official", my heart suddenly felt a little empty......

[I officially signed a contract today, begging for a wave of recommendations and rewards...... ]
