Chapter 173: Who is embarrassed
Meng Ke, Tang Tang and Ning Jing had also met, and Li Yaxuan was just an escort, so everyone said hello, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and immediately went to the press release center of Diandian.com.
Lin Sha, the gold medal reporter of Modu Metropolis Daily, came to the news release center of Diandian.com early, waiting for Xiao Fang's appearance with a little expectation.
The last time Xiao Fang came to the magic capital, because of a coincidence, she used her wit to get an exclusive interview with Xiao Fang. And the sales of the newspaper interviewed by Xiao Fang directly doubled, making her boss praise her for doing a good job. This also made Lin Sha unconsciously put her heart on Xiao.
It's not that Lin Sha fell in love with Xiao Fang, but Lin Sha did feel that Xiao Fang, a great writer, was very easy to get along with, and there was a kind of self-contained temperament between conversations. So, Lin Sha paid more attention to Xiao Fang's situation by the way.
When she learned that Xiao Fang was in a car accident, she was still a little worried.
Then Xiao Fang was assassinated again, and the second work also caused a lot of turmoil, Zhao Ye, the president of Tianjian, personally poached the horns, and the Shijie-level vampire organization boycotted Xiao Fang's works......
And Xiao Fang had just arrived in the Demon Capital, and he was just a guest for dinner, and he actually went against Fu Mantang, provoking Du Mantang, the godfather of the Demon Capital...... Now Xiao Fang's complaint against Fumantang is still in a district court in the magic capital......
Everything made Lin Sha realize that as long as she followed Xiao Fang, there would definitely be big news!
If there is anyone in the country who doesn't know Xiao Fang now, it must be living in the second yuan shijie! Even abroad. Xiao Fang also has a huge reputation!
The English version of "The Legend of King Lanluo" has sold 120 million copies in Europe and the United States, directly ranking 10th on the global bestseller list last year! If you add the Chinese version or pirated version, etc., the ranking will definitely rise one place!
It seems that this young man created all this in a few months!
In the online literature industry, this is the online literature bixia, the emperor, and some people say that he is the protagonist of the current online literature industry, and all other authors are supporting roles.
If Xiao Fang goes to endorse a certain product, Lin Sha believes that the endorsement fee must be one million per year.
Such a person who has news everywhere. Even Lin Sha already has other tasks today. I also immediately adjusted the itinerary, and I had to attend this signing ceremony first!
It was precisely because she came here that she found out that there were foreign media reporters here.
For this case. Lin Sha was not surprised. After all, this is a contract with Imperial Film and Television. In addition, Xiao Fang's books are indeed selling well in Europe and the United States. It's just that it would be nice to have one or two of them, but now there are dozens of foreign media. This made Lin Sha feel unusual.
The official time of the signing ceremony was set at half past nine, but as the time progressed, it seemed that it was half past nine, but no key personnel entered the venue.
In the office of the president of Diandian.com, Yao Shi's face can be described as quite dark! The news has already been spread, but a phone call suddenly came from Imperial Film and Television Company twenty minutes ago, and the contract was not signed!
Everything has been negotiated, but the Imperial Film and Television Company actually came to this trick, is this embarrassing itself or embarrassing Xiao Fang?
Meng Ke sat on the chair opposite Yao Shi, looking at Yao Shi's cloudy face, and his heart was also helpless, what is going on!
"What now?" Yao Shi asked Meng Ke directly. He actually had thoughts about Meng Ke for a long time, didn't he rely on his own sharp eyes? Relying on his deep roots in Diandian.com, many things are done against himself! Since you're so capable, think about it now!
Meng Ke is actually frowning at the moment, the matter of signing a contract with Imperial Film and Television has been spread to the outside world, and even many foreign media have come, if Imperial Film and Television does not sign a contract, this fun is really big enough, and it is embarrassing enough!
Xiao Fang, Li Yaxuan, and Ningning, who were arranged in the reception room, were also a little suspicious at the moment, didn't they start signing the contract at half past nine? Why is it nine o'clock, and I haven't been to the signing site yet?
Although Xiao Fang felt strange, he didn't have much heterogeneity, since he came here, he just listened to their arrangement.
Just as Xiao Fang was thinking this, his phone rang.
At first glance, the caller ID was the knight of King Lanluo.
"Hey." Xiao Fang said in a calm voice.
"Exile, where are you now?" The Knight of King Lanluo asked with a hint of excitement.
"Well, at the headquarters of Diandian.com, I'm preparing to attend the signing ceremony!" Xiao Fang replied immediately. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the knight of King Lanluo not to know this news, right?
King Lanluo Knight Haha smiled: "I see, you don't need to participate in this signing ceremony!" ”
Xiao Fang immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The knight of King Lanluo immediately explained to Xiao Fang: "I have asked the Banished Press to sign a contract with Imperial Film and Television, and the English copyright of "The Legend of King Lanluo" has been sold to them, except for the signing fee of 20 million US dollars, you have the remaining 20% of the copyright, and you have 20% of the income from all subsequent commercial development of "The Legend of King Lanluo", no matter how the copyright changes hands, you will not lose the right to speak on this book!" With English copyright, the copyright of other language versions is not as important as imagined for Imperial Films! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Fang should have been shocked, but he was vaguely mentally prepared, and said without surprise: "Oh, that's a good thing." However, you only talked about this when I came here, isn't it even a pit for me! ”
"It's just been done here. You don't know, when the people of Imperial Film and Television are in contact with Diandian Culture Company, they are also in contact with us. Since they can spend more than 60 million yuan to buy the copyright of other language versions, then the English copyright is naturally more expensive! I got a few experts to talk to! The Knight of King Lanlo said with joy, paused slightly, and continued: "Anyway, you have to sign a contract with them for the book "Bernard's Feast". Just change this signing! ”
"If you do this, our Mr. Yao must be very sad." A faint hint of banter appeared on Xiao Fang's calm face. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he remembered Yao Shi's angry face.
"He's sad and it's none of our business. Aren't you afraid of losing "The Legend of King Lanluo", now, I have basically retained the copyright of this book for you. And by the way, I pit a little bit of cultural company. Hehe, how about it, I'm very competent as the prime minister! The knight of King Lanluo said in a tone of invitation.
"You call this a prelude to the first and then the prelude, such a major event, you should let this monarch know first!" Xiao Fang responded with a smile.
"OK, I'll pay attention next time. There are still many things that have not been done, and the subordinates will retire first. ”
"Go ahead. The Prime Minister must be in charge of everything. ”
……
Hung up the phone. Xiao Anxin's head did rise with a faint joy. Although the copyright cannot be traded, it seems that tens of millions of dollars of income have been lost, but in fact, it is true. He could probably earn more. And from another point of view. Seeing Yao Shi was not happy. I seem to be much happier.
Li Yaxuan asked with a little worry: "Xiao Fang, is there a problem with the signing?" After all, Li Yaxuan didn't know the truth, she thought that this signing involved Xiao Fang's income of tens of millions. If this contract cannot be signed, it will naturally mean that tens of millions of income will be lost.
Tranquility is much more observant than Li Yaxuan, Li Yaxuan is concerned about chaos, and people are happy if they don't sign a contract.
Xiao Fang looked at Li Yaxuan and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing for me not to sign a contract." ”
Hearing this, Li Yaxuan immediately became a little anxious and said, "What's not a bad thing?" That's a matter of tens of millions of dollars! ”
Xiao Fang saw Li Yaxuan's nervous appearance, his heart warmed, and he continued to smile: "It's true that I'm not going to sign a contract here, but I signed a contract in country A, and Imperial Film and Television has signed the copyright of the English version, so naturally I have no interest in the copyright of other languages." ”
Hearing this, Li Yaxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression softened and said, "That's good." I thought something was wrong. ”
Ning Jing saw Li Yaxuan like this on the side, and she was also a little speechless and regretful in her heart, in other words, Li Yaxuan, you were also a high-IQ and high-achieving student when you were in school, why did you become this scene now!
In the president's office, Yao Shi's words stumped Meng Ke, after all, the time was too short, and there was no very sound plan at all.
However, time waits for no one, and Meng Ke immediately responded: "It must be easy for the media to get the news, and we can't hide it." Therefore, there was a problem with the signing of the Imperial Film and Television contract, which was announced at the ceremony. And Xiao Fang has already arrived, and we can still get him to sign a contract for the book "Bernard's Grand Ceremony". ”
Yao Shi glanced at Meng Ke coldly and asked, "Do you think that dozens of domestic media and more than a dozen foreign media came here to see us sign an electronic copyright contract with Xiao Fang for the book "Bernard's Grand Ceremony"?" You have always been in contact with Imperial Film and Television, and you are also in contact with Xiao Fang's side in negotiation. If you can take down the other copyrights of the book "Bernard's Ceremony", then this signing ceremony can continue to be signed. If not, is there still a need for this signing ceremony? You know how much of an impact this has had on us at Dian Dian Culture Company! ”
At this moment, Yao Shi can think of only one way, using the book "Bernard's Festival" to make the more expensive contract fade away the negative impact of the unsuccessful signing with Imperial Film and Television.
Meng Ke couldn't help but shake his head, sighed and said, "The price of 500 million is impossible, and they didn't agree to raise it to 600 million." Xiao Fang didn't want to sell all the copyrights of "Bernard's Festival" at all. ”
"If he doesn't want to sell, you find a way to get him to sell. If this path doesn't work, then you have to find another way. The negative effects of this matter must be eliminated! Yao Shi also didn't think of this method easily, and it was still a very undesirable solution. Originally, he didn't have a cold for Xiao Fang in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't seem to be cold to Meng Ke......
Meng Ke's face also darkened, and he didn't like Yao Shi's tone, no matter what, Meng Ke was more than ten years older than Yao Shi, although there was a relationship between the top and bottom, but there was also a relationship between the big and the small, right? I have earned a lot of benefits for Diandian Culture Company, even Lao Yao is polite to himself! (To be continued......)
PS: Sorry, drop a chapter...... I'm embarrassed...... Add it today. By the way, eat the renewal ticket...... Actually, I don't have a love for renewing tickets......
