"Mr. Ji, sit down...... Mr. Ji, you are busy, and you deliberately made a trip, and we should have visited us in person. ”

In the afternoon, Ji Zhuo went to the Pioneer Film and Television Media Headquarters in Yucheng.

and Yu Mingzhi, Shi Editor, the head of the animation and shadow department, sat together.

"Mr. Yu is polite."

Ji Zhuo exchanged a few words with Yu Mingzhi and others, and the group of people sitting in the conference room got to the point.

"Mr. Ji, this is the authorization contract that we have preliminarily drawn up, Mr. Ji, you see if there are any problems, we can communicate again."

"The licensing score is the same as the previous agreement, 20% of the direct income of the animation project, and 5% of the peripheral income. Eight percent of the box office share of film and television projects. It is used to obtain Mr. Ji's anime, film and television adaptation authorization.

Of course, Mr. Ji said that he was willing to donate half of the box office revenue to charity projects for the blind and deaf aphasia, which is the later thing. ”

As Yu Mingzhi spoke, he took the drawn up contract from the lawyer of the legal department next to him and handed it to Ji Zhuo.

Ji Zhuo looked at it from beginning to end, and then handed it to the lawyer he brought,

"Pioneer Film and Television, Yu Mingzhi, will also donate as I said before, as Mr. Ji donates, Pioneer Film and Television will donate double."

While the lawyer was still reading the contract, Yu Mingzhi and Ji Zhuo continued to talk.

"Mr. Yu's righteousness."

Ji Zhuo praised,

After all, people spend money, what's wrong with boasting two words.

"Huh...... If you want to say that righteousness is still Mr. Ji's righteousness, I just follow Mr. Ji's example. ”

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Yu, don't praise each other, both of you are righteous deeds."

Pioneer Film and Television, the person in charge of the film and television department said loudly at this time,

The whole room laughed, and it seemed to be funny.

Ji Zhuo also showed some smiles.

"Mr. Ji, I don't know if Editor Shi has mentioned to you that your "Seven Days of Hell" is also of special significance to me and my father, in fact, I have always wanted to obtain Mr. Ji's authorization for the adaptation of this book, but I have never had the right opportunity."

Yu Mingzhi let out a long breath as he spoke,

"My father worked hard all his life, and a few years ago, suddenly his eyes failed, and he lost his sight completely not long after."

"It's just that after losing my sight, the whole person seems to be paralyzed, even if my legs and feet are still convenient, but most of the time I can't do without a wheelchair."

"My father liked your work very much, and I also liked it. It's not just the world in "Seven Days of Hell" that always lacks a sense of it, but the spirit hidden in this world, in this story. ”

"Tenacity and courage, even if the world loses a sense of the world and the world becomes unknown again, the human beings in the book never lack the courage to re-explore the unknown and fight against the unknown."

"This kind of tenacity and courage is particularly inspiring. Even in the most desperate moments, he did not give up the last insistence. ”

It can be seen that Yu Mingzhi really likes the book "Seven Days of Hell", and when he said it, he was a little excited and excited.

Ji Zhuo just kept a smile and listened carefully,

He doesn't judge a reader's understanding of the work, and when the book is finished, it doesn't belong to him entirely.

"I've read this book many times, and of course, I think my father likes you more than I do......"

After being excited, Yu Mingzhi probably felt that he was a little out of shape,

paused, calmed down again,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I'm a little far away."

"No, thank you Mr. Yu for your love of this work. I think it's normal for a reader to talk to an author about his work. ”

Ji Zhuo responded with a smile,

Yu Mingzhi also laughed,

"Yes, yes! Mr. Ji is right. ”

But after laughing, he didn't continue to say what he had said.

Turning back, I talked about the authorization contract again.

“…… This contract, in addition to what was previously said. We know that Mr. Ji, you don't like perpetual licenses, so we still set a license period, just 20 years. ”

"In addition, Pioneer Film and Television also guaranteed that it will officially launch the filming plan of the "Seven Days of Hell" film and television project within half a year, and will continue to carry out this filming work, which is also written in the contract."

"Of course, Mr. Ji can also rest assured, if I hold your copyright and delay filming, my father will not agree."

As he spoke, Yu Mingzhi paused again.

"Animation projects and film and television projects, pioneer film and television will be launched at the same time."

"According to the idea of the animation department, it is expected that two seasons of animation should be made, with an expected investment of 50 million, and if an animated film is made in the later stage, the investment will be calculated separately."

"Film and television projects, mainly film projects, Pioneer Film and Television are ready to invest 500 million yuan to shoot this work well, and if the later stage is not enough, it will continue to be added."

"Seven Days of Hell" has a special meaning for Yu Mingzhi,

This film adaptation also has a special significance.

He didn't do this completely as a businessman and the owner of a film and television company.

There is no particular consideration given to whether the film will pay for itself.

After all, it hasn't been filmed yet, and in total, more than ten percent of the box office has been donated.

However, considering the current influence of Ji Zhuo's works in the world,

Basically, you don't have to think about the problem of not being able to get back to the capital.

You only need to do a good job in the filming of "Seven Days of Hell", which naturally has a large number of readers' support.

"Thank you."

Ji Zhuo thanked Yu Mingzhi.

Yu Mingzhi smiled and waved his hand, and then his eyes seemed to be a little distracted, not knowing what he thought.

Until the lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo carefully read the contract and made sure that there was no problem, he handed it back to Ji Zhuo,

"Mr. Ji, there is nothing wrong with the contract."

"Hmm."

Ji Zhuo took it, and Yu Mingzhi also came back to his senses.

The two parties formally signed this authorization contract.

“…… Mr. Ji, the business is over. Let Pioneer Film and Television do their best to fulfill the friendship of landlords, and then go over to have a meal together. ”

"It's not a bother, it's still some time before the evening. There are still some things, go back in a hurry, so I won't bother much, next time. ”

"That's okay, then I won't delay Mr. Ji's business."

Seeing that Ji Zhuo had no intention of staying, he didn't keep too much.

The group got up,

As he spoke, he sent Ji Zhuo all the way to the downstairs of the Pioneer Film and Television Headquarters, and walked a few more steps along the road before stopping.

"Don't bother Mr. Yu to send it again, just come here."

"That's okay, then I won't send it far away, and I'm still in a hurry to report to my old father."

After a few more words, Ji Zhuo got on the car and went to the high-speed rail station in Yucheng.

And this side,

After separating from Ji Zhuo, he returned to Yu Mingzhi in the office,

I really called his father first.

……

“…… A gust of wind blew, and the paper kite continued to fly forward......"

house. The old man sat in a chair with a mobile phone in his hand,

Wearing a Bluetooth headset in his ear, and in the headset, "Kite" has just finished listening to today's update.

After listening, the old man paused again, and then he was a little silent and took off his headphones.

"Uncle Yu......"

When he took off his headphones, he heard the nurse calling him softly,

The old man turned his head to the side,

"Uncle Yu, Mr. Yu called."

"There's nothing to call me and do anything."

The old man said this, but still put on a Bluetooth headset again,

Groping with the phone screen in his hand, he roughly clicked on the place on the phone screen where the call was answered,

After clicking twice, the sound in the headset was different, and the phone was connected.

The nurse was standing next to him, originally ready to help, but seeing that the old man had already answered the phone,

Just stand by and watch.

I saw that after the old man answered the phone, he paused,

And then there were a few 'um' and 'um......' sounds,

Just took off the Bluetooth headset again,

But after the end of the call, the old man remained silent, sitting on the chair, seemingly a little distracted, without saying a word.

"Uncle Yu? What's wrong? ”

Looking at the old man's appearance, the nurse asked in a whisper.

"No ......"

The old man shook his head, and at this time, some smiles gradually appeared on his face,

"The bunny told me that the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell" has been taken down, and he is ready to start making movies and anime."

The old man said with a smile.

The nurse was stunned for a moment, and then laughed,

"That's a good thing."

Most of the time, the caregiver who accompanies the old man knows very well the position of the book "Seven Days of Hell" in the heart of the old man.

The old man really liked this book.

"Hmm...... When the movie is released, you can play it for me, and I'll listen to it. ”

"Okay."

The old man took the initiative this time.

The nurse quickly responded.

The old man nodded, didn't speak again, raised his head, it was still dark in front of him, he didn't know what to look at, and he was a little distracted.

……

The copyright authorization of "Seven Days of Hell" has been finalized, and it is one thing missing for Ji Zhuo.

The mood can be regarded as a temporary relaxation.

However, when I got out of the high-speed rail station and took the car back to my residence, I didn't get home yet, and Ji Zhuo received another bad news.

From Al.

"Mr. al:I, yesterday the sales of "Ordinary and Great" came out.

AL: The sales figures are pretty good. ”

Seeing that Al said that the sales were good, Ji Zhuo didn't want to look down anymore.

In the past two days, the popularity of "Kite" has just been released, and Bert Press is still selling "Shadow Empire".

Under such oppression, the single-day sales of "Ordinary and Great" are not bad, is this okay?

It's a pity that at this time, El sent new news again, and it was directly reflected in Ji Zhuo's sight.

AL: Ordinary and Great sold 6,900 copies in a single day yesterday.

AL: According to the current trend, we may be able to break through 7,000 copies in a single day tomorrow, and before the release of "Ordinary and Great" in January, we will be able to break through the sales of 10,000 copies in a single day!

AL: And that's just the current trend, waiting for the Ordinary and the Great readership to continue to grow, and there will definitely be a time when it will start to explode completely.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: Editor-in-Chief Al has worked hard. ”

6,900 copies, which is not much more than the previous day.

But this trend made Ji Zhuo numb enough.

"Al: It's not hard.

al: It's all the result of the hard work of Mr. I, your readers. ”

Al thought about it for a moment, and he was still a little touched by the efforts made by the lovely readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" for this work.

"al: At the end of the day, it is because of the excellence of your work, Mr. I, that there are so many loyal and lovely readers.

AL: Some of them took the initiative to add heat to the comments on news posts about "Ordinary and Great".

AL: Some people recommend this work to their friends, and some people who can connect with them and help promote it.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......"

Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by Al, and became even more numb.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Al Editor-in-Chief...... I think so. Readers are just readers, and it is enough that they are willing to buy and read this work, which is the greatest support for the work, and they should not be asked to do these things anymore......

Al: Huh? Mr. I is right. However, Al Publishing did not ask these readers to do this, these are things that readers do on their own initiative. And isn't it a matter of course to recommend your favorite works to other friends to read?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: I mean...... We shouldn't advocate for this kind of thing, because it's not the reader's obligation.

AL: I see! Mr. I. El Press will take care of this. ”

Al was still a little confused at first what Mr. I meant,

Doesn't Mr. I like his work to be read by more people?

This is obviously impossible.

It wasn't until Mr. I said that it was not the reader's obligation not to advocate such a thing that Al reacted.

The pursuit of the results of the work, which is the business of the author and the publisher,

It is only because they like this work that readers are willing to work tirelessly for this work and tirelessly promote it.

This is something that Al Publishers should be thankful for, but Al Publishers shouldn't take it for granted.

This is not the obligation of readers.

Therefore, Al Publishing House must have the attitude it should have, such as thanking this part of the readers, such as telling these readers in the name of the author that they don't have to work so hard.

Because it's not the reader's obligation, it's just the reader's liking.

As for whether the readers listen or not...... That's none of the business of Al Press, at least El Press should have that attitude.

Al thinks he gets it!

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Well......"

Ji Zhuo didn't expect his words to have any effect, so he hoped that as much as possible, the sales growth would be slow.

Now the actions of the readers of "Ordinary and Great" evoke Ji Zhuo's not very good memories, which makes Ji Zhuo feel very uncomfortable.

"al: Thank you, Mr. I, for your advice, otherwise El Publishing would not have reacted to the hidden dangers."

Al excitedly replied to Mr. I.

Ji Zhuo looked at Al's excited news, and hurriedly made it even worse.

Thankfully, he didn't expect much.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Well......"

After chatting with Al, Ji Zhuo had already arrived home.

Pushing open the door of the living room and entering the house, there was a room full of "Shadow Empire" waiting for him to sign.

Ji Zhuo was silent again.

Gan!

……

On the other side, Eyre Press.

Al ended the exchange with Mr. I, and the whole person remained excited and excited.

called his wife and assistant Penny, and the two began to make relevant announcements on their official accounts in the name of Al Press and Mr. I.

"The Ordinary and the Great sold nearly 7,000 in a single day yesterday, and I would like to thank all the readers of the Ordinary and the Great for their efforts.

Al Publishing House and Mr. I know that it is not the duty of readers to recommend, and promote this work, but you loyal readers and friends still do it.

When Mr. I found out, I was very touched and thanked all of you...... Mr. I said: "It is not the obligation of the readers, we do not advocate this kind of thing, it should be our responsibility......"

After this announcement was issued,

Soon, there were many more messages at the bottom.

Al clicked into Mr. I's readership group and looked at the chat history at the moment,

You know, this step is done right.

After this announcement was issued, the readers in this group who worked tirelessly and spontaneously to promote "Ordinary and Great",

It's more like beating chicken blood, screaming excitedly, eager to rush out in the next second, and duel with people for "Ordinary and Great".

This announcement,

For these readers who have promoted and spontaneously recommended "Ordinary and Great",

I saw three things,

First, their spontaneous propaganda has an effect, don't you see that the single-day sales are about to break 7,000?

Second, both Eyre and Mr. I knew that there was a group of readers working on The Ordinary and the Great.

Thirdly, Mr. I was very grateful and impressed.

As for what Mr. I said not to advocate, it is not the reader's obligation.

Hey, I'm willing, I'm happy to give "Ordinary and Great" spontaneous publicity.

You author, can you manage it, and thank me when the time comes.

Friends! I'm going to make ten more posts for "Ordinary and Great"!
