Chapter 134: Forget it, let's do it tomorrow
"Mr. Ji, there are still two plans given by our side."
"One is to buy out the animation adaptation authorization of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", after which Mr. Ji can no longer authorize the copyright of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" to other companies or individuals for animation adaptation. This part of the authorization is limited to anime adaptations, but it is hoped that there will be a right of first refusal under the same conditions as film and television adaptation rights. For this, we are willing to pay a buyout fee of three million. ”
"The other is still divided, or the exclusive authorization of the anime adaptation, and we are willing to pay 15% of the total revenue share of related animation projects and 3% of the revenue share of the animation extension."
Compared with the previous "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", the conditions given by Pioneer Film and Television this time are much better.
It is mainly due to the achievements of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" and the gradually increasing influence of Ji Zhuo himself.
It's just that this time it's only about the authorization of the anime adaptation, and the main thing that has more room for premium is this exclusive license.
Otherwise, with the sales volume of the physical book "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" that are still growing in a steady stream and the results in various channels, the licensing fee can be higher.
“…… Of course, no matter which way, we still hope that Mr. Ji can be the screenwriter of the new anime project again, and we can talk about the remuneration of the screenwriter separately. ”
After speaking, Yu Mingzhi smiled and looked at Ji Zhuo again, waiting for Ji Zhuo's reply.
The lawyer who followed Ji Zhuo also looked at Ji Zhuo,
This kind of general direction decision can only be made by Ji Zhuo himself, and the lawyer can only help him negotiate some detailed terms.
"Let's divide it."
It's not just that Ji Zhuo has a systematic background, but the most valuable thing about the anime adaptation of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" may actually be around the anime.
For example, the dolls of the cloud elves, the figures of the shepherd boy and the old cow...... In the long run, these may be more than the money sold by the anime itself.
The fairy tale "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" is the most suitable for anime adaptation among Ji Zhuo's works.
"Okay, then divide it."
Yu Mingzhi smiled and nodded.
Then it was the turn of the lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo to negotiate the details with the people of Pioneer Film and Television.
“…… Isn't this exclusive license supposed to have a certain number of years, and can't it be said that it has always been exclusively licensed to your company, right? ”
"Thirty years, then?"
"What is the difference between thirty years and a perpetual license, Mr. Ji's I have also seen it, if you want to be permanently licensed, I don't think the licensing price of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" should be so much......"
Sure enough, professional things still have to be seen by professional people.
Ji Zhuo chatted with Yu Mingzhi who was sitting next to him,
While watching the lawyer he brought and the people of Pioneer Film and Television fighting with each other,-for-tat, it was interesting to watch.
Yu Mingzhi next to him didn't pay too much attention to the details of the negotiation, so he smiled and chatted with Ji Zhuo.
“…… Mr. Ji's new book "Caged Bird" is really well written, and I have read it too. As soon as I bought it back, I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't help but see it in the middle of the night last night, You see that the dark circles are still on the eye sockets. ”
"Mr. Yu praised it falsely."
“…… It's not a fallacy. I have an old father who is also a reader of Mr. Ji, can you easily give a name to the book. ”
Ji Zhuo watched Yu Mingzhi take out the "Caged Bird" from the table that he didn't know when it was ready,
I felt a dull pain in my wrist again.
"Row ......"
I took the pen and added a somewhat ugly artistic signature with a blessing as usual.
"Thank you......"
Yu Mingzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then showed some smiles.
Although he also wants the signed book of the 'dog author' to go back and give it away, but this is talking about the contract, how embarrassing,
So he asked for it for his father.
The autograph book was about to be handed by his old father, Yu Mingzhi was a little more relaxed, and talked to Ji Zhuo casually,
"Mr. Ji, this book is finished, do you have any ideas for the next book, we readers are all waiting."
Yu Mingzhi may think he's joking,
Ji Zhuo was a little silent.
No...... Everywhere you go, there are people urging new books.
"I'm writing, I'm writing."
“…… Well, Mr. Ji, do you have the idea of selling the copyright of your "Seven Days of Hell...... Hey, forget it, when I didn't ask. ”
His father was particularly fond of the book "Seven Days of Hell",
He actually wants to buy the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell",
Gu Yao's "Seven Days of Hell" is the work with the highest sales among Ji Zhuo's works except for "Caged Bird", and it is still growing steadily.
Ji Zhuo's willingness to authorize the adaptation rights of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" to Pioneer Film and Television is already good,
asked Ji Zhuo to authorize the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell" to them when the copyright value was still rising, Yu Mingzhi felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't mention it again.
Ji Zhuo just felt that this Yu Mingzhi was somewhat inexplicable, what was going on halfway?
However, the copyright transfer of "Seven Days of Hell" is really cautious, "Seven Days of Hell" can be regarded as science fiction...... All say so.
Sci-fi is difficult to film, and he is really afraid of a strange adaptation...... After all, the encouragement money for the screenwriter's sub-profession is not too high, and it can't be enough to make him sell his conscience...... The main profession is so high that it is almost the same.
Pioneer Film and Television really has an idea, so let's talk about it next time.
"Mr. Ji......"
Here, Ji Zhuo was talking to Yu Mingzhi.
The lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo over there had a verbal war with the people of Pioneer Film and Television, and they also negotiated a contract.
The terms of the contract are as follows:
Exclusively authorize the copyright of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" to Pioneer Film and Television for animation adaptation, and Pioneer Film and Television has the right to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" under the same conditions.
The duration of the contract is twenty-five years.
The copyright income brought by licensing is that the revenue share of the pioneer film and television animation project is 15%, and the peripheral share is a little more than before the talk, to 4%.
At the same time, the contract stipulates that Pioneer Film and Television will start the animation project of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" in the near future, and the minimum investment in the animation project is agreed...... If Pioneer Film and Television does not start the animation project within a certain period of time, the contract will be invalidated, and Pioneer Film and Television will compensate Ji Zhuo for liquidated damages.
As for Ji Zhuo's screenwriting contract, it was signed separately.
Two percent of the anime project is divided, probably a few hundred thousand. 0.5 percent of the periphery, this is not sure how much, it may be tens of thousands, there may be hundreds of thousands.
“…… Okay, this is also Mr. Ji's second time we have worked together. ”
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"Huh...... This lawyer, do you have any ideas to change jobs, our company's legal department is quite short of people. ”
After talking about business,
Before Ji Zhuo left, Pioneer Film and Television also settled the previous "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" anime share,
The money given by the broken station has not yet arrived, and this money is considered to have been paid by Pioneer Film and Television to Ji Zhuo in advance.
It's very comfortable...... However, Ji Zhuo still feels that Mr. Yu of this pioneer film and television is a little strange,
Because when he was leaving, he still wanted to poach his lawyer......
Good guy, this is a talent that I want to dig when I see someone.
Even the lawyer who came with Ji Zhuo was stunned.
……
"Mr. Ji, then I'll leave first."
"Okay, I'm sorry for you this time......"
went back to the magic capital, and separated from the lawyer he asked,
Ji Zhuo went back to his residence.
As soon as the door of the living room was closed, he spread it on the sofa by himself.
I don't want to move.
The matter of copyright authorization for "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" has been discussed,
"Caged Bird" is still on sale, but a new issue of the target task has also been opened.
Isn't it time for me to start writing a new book?
Why don't you start in a moment?
Or ...... at night Forget it, tomorrow.
made this decision,
Ji Zhuo continued to paralyze on the sofa.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight that slipped into the house fell on Ji Zhuo.
It's a little warm, and it makes people lazy and don't want to move.
