At the beginning of April 2018, after Qingming.

After the new book "My AI Girlfriend Little Mourning" was uploaded with 150,000 words and the collection exceeded 40,000, it has entered a bottleneck period, even if the website still arranges a large number of recommendations. However, at present, the daily collection growth rate has also decreased from the previous increase of one or two thousand collections per day to one or two hundred per day.

Of course, Li Yuntao also checked the data of the QQ Book City channel and found that although it is a larger platform, the collection of this book is only more than 5,000.

In addition to the huge difference between the readers' preferences of QQ Bookstore and the preferences of the readers at the starting point, the more important thing is that the main station signed by Li Yuntao is the starting point platform, so the starting point will give a complete set of recommendation processes according to the performance of the book before it is put on the shelves.

Although QQ Bookstore is updated synchronously, it is only counted as an internal channel within the group, not the main site of the contract. As a result, there is less skew in the referral resources.

"Li Yuntao, recommended by Jiang next Wednesday, before it is put on the shelves, in addition to the strong push, this recommendation is the strongest. Stable updates to ensure quality. The editor in charge said.

"Well, if this book is a grade, it will reach the first month's high, or even higher. Whether you can have the qualification for copyright adaptation, of course, I don't mean big projects such as TV series and games, but comic adaptations with relatively low thresholds. Li Yuntao was impulsive, and suddenly asked the editor in charge on QQ.

Of course, after asking, Li Yuntao regretted it a little.

After all, when it comes to such a big project as copyright adaptation, it is definitely not up to the editor-in-charge to decide, but at least to make the decision of the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief.

"You!" Mo Mo snorted, "Aren't you too drifting lately, forgetting that before the last book, you were all hitting the streets? Copyright adaptation, now consider this kind of shadowless thing, it is better to write a lot to earn some manuscript fees." Ordinary publications, adaptations, and relatively small specifications should be far less than the manuscript fee after you put it on the shelf. However, it is estimated that it is not impossible to adapt comics, and in recent years, many novels have been adapted into comics in cooperation with Tencent Animation Platform. There are even many adaptations into animations that are screened on RB and the domestic market. You can think about the comic adaptation a little, maybe there is really a comic studio that wants to adapt, and we will also push the boat to promote it. But there is really no need to look forward to the cost of adaptation, after all, the scale of the comic market is not as good as the online literature market. ”

"By the way, what is the editor!" Li Yuntao said, "I said, assuming I can find a first-class cartoonist to work with, can I adapt it myself?"

"What! You adapt it yourself, don't be kidding, do you have more resources than a company? Behind China Literature is Tencent, and Tencent is also the one who invests in domestic comics and novel adaptations the most!" Mo Mo said excitedly, "If there are outsiders who contact and cooperate, or they are liars, don't agree." If it's really interesting, please ask him to contact China Literature, even if he talks to you, he can't get around China Literature, after all, he signed a contract. Moreover, this book has just begun, and its popularity has not yet reached its peak, so how much money can it be sold for selling copyrights? Copyright is worth only when its popularity reaches its peak and a large number of die-hard fans are gathered! Don't destroy your future for such a small amount of money, write a book well, and the manuscript fee is far more than the copyright fee for comic adaptations! If you toss around, you will only pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons!"

"That's not what I meant. Lin Qi said, "No one wants to buy the copyright, just that I am the original work and my friend is the original painting." Our combination, can we upload comics to the Tencent Animation platform? Tencent Animation Platform is also a brother unit of China Literature, right? I'm not a second or fifth boy, and I'm determined to mess with Tencent's grandfather...... The creator of the manga is the artist who created the cover illustration for the book. ”

"I see. Mo Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll report it, this matter is for the top to decide!"

......

A certain screenwriting team of China Literature.

The editor-in-chief of the group is indifferently eating noodles, in charge of the editor-in-charge of the group's content on platforms such as starting point and creation, and is busy communicating with the group.

Mo Mo nervously came to the editor-in-chief.

"What?" said the editor-in-chief's eyes with a cold glint.

The author of "My AI Girlfriend" hopes that the copyright of the comics will be left to him and his friends, and they will create their own comics and upload them to the Tencent Animation platform. Mo Mo said.

"Tell him, yes! According to the normal process, we are going to collect the copyright fee for the comic adaptation. 200,000 yuan, if he agrees, after the novel is put on the shelves, 200,000 yuan will be deducted from the manuscript fee, and the animation copyright can be bought. The editor-in-chief said, "This price is not a temporary offer, but has been studied by our editorial department before." The copyright authorization of the comic of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" is a quotation of 400,000 yuan, and the comic studio outside can afford to take away the comic adaptation copyright. If it is sold, we need to give the original author a share of 200,000 yuan. Now, if the author really wants to adapt it himself, he will go through the same process. 400,000 copyright fees, of which, the original author of the copyright is 50% shared, that is, as long as he pays 200,000 himself, the adaptation right, give him!"

"This ......," said worriedly, "let the original author pay for the copyright?"

"Yes! Give him the right to choose, he insists that if he wants to adapt, he has to follow the rules of business!" said the editor-in-chief calmly, "Of course, don't make the communication too blunt." The choice is his, and if the book is written, it will cost more than 20 manuscripts a year. Write for a few more years, and the copyright should be able to be sold! Now that the book is not on the shelves, it is really impetuous, to consider comic adaptation!"

"Okay!" Mo Mo nodded and said, "I'll communicate with the author!"

When the editor-in-chief heard this, he continued to eat noodles, but in fact, he did not have the slightest anger or emotional fluctuations. Over the years, he has seen a lot of copyright issues.

Some street writers unexpectedly received millions of copyright fees, so they were grateful to the company. There are also some popular authors who have fought war of words or even lawsuits with the company because of copyright issues.

However, I am afraid that my peers will set off......

Over the years, China Literature has been the most transparent in the industry and the company that pays the most cash in terms of profit sharing for authors. More than one billion manuscript fees a year are willing to be spent, and they are not guilty of sharing the benefits with ugly appearances.

Soon after, Momo replied to Li Yuntao and informed the editor-in-chief of his opinion.

Li Yuntao hesitated for a long time, but still said: "Okay, I promise!"

"Hey, don't be kidding, this is a copyright fee of 200,000. If the comic adaptation hits the street, but there is no return!"

You must know that even if a popular novel is adapted into a comic, it is still a gamble! Whether a comic adaptation can become popular or make money is still very uncertain.

"I'm serious! Look, this is a comic made by a friend. Li Yuntao passed on part of the comic manuscript of "My AI Girlfriend", "It is precisely because of the strength of my friend that I decided to take the initiative of comic adaptation into my own hands!

Soon......

Mo Mo began to stop persuading and said, "Come on, don't worry, I'll communicate with the editor-in-chief again to see if I can give a better cooperation plan." Anyway, the price of comic copyright is relatively expensive now, and there will be no buyers for the time being, so you don't have to worry about being bought by others first. ”

"Good!"

Even if Li Yuntao wants to upload the comic version of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai", he will choose the industry's largest Tencent animation platform. The Tencent animation platform, which also belongs to Tencent's grandfather's company, is a brother unit with China Literature, and has also had a lot of copyright cooperation in recent years.

Therefore, if China Literature comes forward to promote cooperation, it may be more effective than Li Yuntao's own impatient actions.
