Chapter 26 Game Copyright Dispute (A has been signed, rest assured to collect)
Back home, Duke couldn't wait to go online, found Hellfire, and said that someone contacted him to buy the game copyright, of course, it was relatively brief, and he didn't even mention Qin Chu's name, let alone mention the fact that the two sides had already met, which shows that after some things, Duke's emotional intelligence has also been greatly exercised. Finally Duke asked, "How much do you think we should ask for Shengda?" This is quite skillful, not only revealing his own tendencies without a trace, but also testing the bottom line of the website's valuation of the game's adaptation rights.
Hellfire didn't expect someone to come to the door to dig the foot of the wall so soon, or the top three domestic games Shengda, the boss only explained that he must get the right to adapt this game, and before he could figure out how to talk to Duke, the competitors had already heard the news. For a while, Hellfire felt a huge pressure, and the originally good situation suddenly became serious after the spoiler came in, but Duke's question was really difficult to answer.
"Duke, now that the article has just begun, it seems that it is a little early to talk about this game copyright, and I am afraid that this talk is not conducive to the protection of your interests, do you think you should wait and see?" Hellfire thought about it, so let's use a delaying tactic first.
"I don't think it's a big problem, anyway, now the story is finished. If the game can be developed at the same time, it will be possible to strike while the iron is hot and launch the game during the serialization period, which will make it easier to attract users. Duke chatted with Qin Chu today, and he already had an idea in his heart, and he was infected by Qin Chu, so he felt that he had some experience, "Look, even a big company like Shengda has come to the door, can we contact the other two companies to see the reaction?" Isn't it easier to shop around and sell for a good price? As soon as Duke's thinking was broadened, he suddenly had a feeling of not vomiting and unhappy, "I think, let's find a big company to develop, the big company has strong funds and strong development strength, and can develop high-quality products, maybe it is a Chinese version of Warcraft, and it can also rush out of the country" Hellfire saw the penguin spit out Duke's YY like flowing water, although he really dared to think about it while secretly slandering this product, he felt even more bitter, and the next negotiations became more and more difficult. But that's not the end of the story.
"If it's developed by a large company, I feel that the game will be popular, so this time I won't sell it out, and I will take a share." Duke continued. "I just don't know how much of this sharing ratio is appropriate?" Seeing this, Hellfire was shocked, and his blood couldn't help but churn a little, Hellfire felt that he couldn't be silent anymore and let Duke YY go down, "Duke, stop" Hellfire replied, "As far as I know, it seems that no online writer has been able to participate in the adaptation of the online game." ”
"No, hehe, that's just right, I can still make history" Duke didn't take into account the fact that Hellfire was about to vomit blood, and said lightly, to be honest, if Qin Chu hadn't come to the door and flickered around like this, where would Duke have thought of these things, he didn't even have much concept of this game adaptation right, film and television drama adaptation right, etc., and he was able to sell more than one million of this Cree's urgent online article, which solved the immediate urgency, Duke was already very satisfied, and he didn't realize how much more benefits he would squeeze out of this novel. But Qin Chu tossed like this, and Duke found that there was such a good thing, and his heart couldn't help but be alive. Qin Chu described a game masterpiece that could be sold abroad, and Duke actually believed it a little, which shows that this young man with low emotional intelligence is too easy to be fooled.
"Making history?" Hellfire's heart froze, and a mouthful of blood spewed out of its mouth. Nima, this person really can't boast, is it that he touted Duke too much some time ago, and he has blown this bear man so much that he can't find the north.
"Duke, I think, in business, there are rules for doing our business, and it's not good to be too maverick. How about you hand over the copyright of this game to the company to negotiate? How can you say that you signed a sharing agreement with the company, and we also hope that this copyright can be sold high, and everyone will share more when you make more money, don't you say? Hellfire replied a little tactfully, and began to deliberately establish his own dominance in this matter, Hellfire thought, I really can't get used to this problem, although you Duke is now a big god leaking out and starting to become popular, but people can't be so arrogant, it's more appropriate for our company to lead this copyright matter. When Hellfire said this, he still had a little confidence in his heart, and he was in a hurry to break the net, and he used a trick to block it, and I won't serialize the rest of the article, anyway, it's a buyout agreement, and there is no clause in the agreement that says I must finish serializing the article I bought, I'll get rid of this story eunuch, see you're still so embarrassed! Of course, this is a completely lose-lose strategy.
"It's a big fire.,You can't say that.,It's better for everyone to discuss it" Duke took a look.,This taste is a little wrong.,I deliberately read the agreement.,When the game copyright is dominated by the company.,There's only one priority in the agreement.,This sells more and sells less.,Or yourself, the copyright owner, finally has the final say.,If you don't have any views on this matter at all.,I don't understand the market.,There's no problem with handing it over to the company to do.,Now there's a better money-making plan.,Why can't you put it forward and talk about it.。 "Personally, I think this way of sharing is better, so let's get in touch with Shengda Company again to see what they think about this, and you can also launch it here, contact with several other big game companies, and talk to them about our ideas, maybe some people think this plan is also good." Duke insisted.
The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and when they say this, both sides feel that it is not very interesting, and Duke casually breaks a few more sentences. However, Duke always felt that it was a good idea for his own sharing, and after going offline, Duke thought about it, and finally felt a little unwilling, thinking of Qin Chu, he ignored the fact that it was relatively late, and called Qin Chu with a phone call, "Duke, hello, hello, what, divide, I really haven't heard of any company operating like this." Qin Chu was quite happy at first when he saw that it was Duke calling, but when he heard Duke's sharing condition, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"Other companies have not operated it, can your company be the first to eat crabs." When Duke heard Qin Chu say this, he was also a little deflated in his heart, it seems that Hellfire really didn't lie to him, but he still didn't give up, this book publication can be proportionally divided, and movies can also be divided, how can it not be on this game.
Duke's question really stumped Qin Chu, to be honest, before coming, Qin Chu had some ideas and plans for various situations, such as high asking prices, adding some supplementary conditions, or something, but he didn't think of dividing this issue. This world is really changing too fast, but Qin Chu doesn't have the confidence of hellfire, he originally came to the door so early, just hoping to take the lead among many competitors, after all, there are not many good novels now, there are only a few in the top few every year, and even fewer are suitable for adapting games, so every time he grabs the head, and the final success is also costly.
This time, I took a fancy to Duke's work, the story is wonderful and the language is gorgeous, not to mention, just the new world structure described in it is completely new, which is even more valuable for a game. Who doesn't want to play with something new, the problem is that there are so few innovative things these days. It is for this reason that Qin Chu made a decisive first move, and got Duke contact information through internal channels in the early stage of the start of this work, and rushed directly to Rongcheng, he would rather give a seemingly sky-high copyright transfer fee now, and also win the game adaptation rights of this work first. However, this sky-high transfer fee is based on the price of popular online articles in recent years, but it is not shared.
As soon as Duke said this, Qin Chu was really hard to answer, the first to eat crabs? Don't eat the crab, but get eaten by the crab.
"Mr. Duke, frankly, we have never operated this model, otherwise, I will think about it first, and how about we find another time to talk about it tomorrow?" After Qin Chuleng was stunned for a while, he decided to slow down and talk to the boss of the company about this matter first. "Okay, don't pay it back, excuse me." Duke heard Qin Chu say this, and after hanging up the phone, his originally excited mood became a little low. In his opinion, this matter is quite a normal thing, publishing a physical book, you can take a commission according to the publication code; The distribution of the film is also divided into multiple parties; Web articles can also be divided according to subscriptions. When it comes to the game, why can't it be divided? This is obviously unreasonable, Duke thinking is trapped in this strange circle, and he can't help but be a little paranoid. No, I'm still doing it, it's a big deal not to sell. Duke thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind fiercely.
If Qin Chu knew that he had brought such a big impact to Duke, Qin Chu would rather not have been here himself, let alone say those blood-boiling words, depicting such a huge picture cake. On this night, not only was Duke depressed in his heart, but Qin Chu was also very entangled in how to communicate with his boss.
The first thing he did after Hellfire went offline was to contact his boss and report the latest situation, and the editor-in-chief felt very troubled when he heard it, and he couldn't imagine that Duke, a pink newcomer, had such an abrasive side, which was really unexpected for him. The unexpected intervention of Shengda, a strong opponent, made things so troublesome, and the editor-in-chief couldn't help but regret a little, why didn't he think about buying out the game copyright when he was optimistic about this work? It's careless, it's really careless, this time the newcomer is slowly becoming a god, and I don't know how much it will cost me to take it down. Shengda's intervention also affirmed his vision on the side, indicating that this work has a great future in online games, so it is even more impossible to miss. After all, in the competition of online games, there are not many golden opportunities to strengthen yourself and defeat your opponents. Maybe it's not bad to operate according to the way of sharing, at least the risk of early investment is less, and although the later sharing affects the gross profit margin, it is at least on the basis of making money.
I have to say that the head of the editor-in-chief of the rampant line turned faster, and after pointing to the core of interests, he made an originally complicated matter simple in an instant.
