Chapter 68: Finalizing the Contract
Liu Jingchen used the laptop she brought with her to revise the terms of Zhang Yu's request, and then printed out the documents in the business studio of the music lounge, and finally the two parties signed their names. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info is finally finalized the contract!
Zhang Yu authorized the entity distribution rights of Xiaoao Jianghu to Vertex Company for a period of 10 years. The two sides are cooperating in a sharing mode, and the sharing ratio is fifty-fifty.
The upfront cost of the entity issuance shall be paid in full by Vertex Company, and if there is an issuance risk, both parties will voluntarily bear 50% of the issuance cost.
If the sales scale of the work exceeds 500,000 sets, the proportion of the share will change, Zhang Yu 55, Vertex Company 45. If the work sells more than 800,000 sets, the proportion of the share will be changed, Zhang Yuliu and Vertex Company four. At the same time, Zhang Yu himself promised to complete the rest of the content of Xiaoaojianghu's novel within two months, and would not delay the release of the physical book.
At the same time, the two parties signed an electronic copyright agreement for the distribution of Xiaoao Jianghu Network, and Zhang Yu authorized Vertex Novel Network to exclusively distribute the electronic version of Xiaoao Jianghu Network. However, the distribution restriction is that 180 days after the release of the physical version, the vertex novel network will put the remaining content of Xiaoao Jianghu on the shelves for sale.
Of course, the main reason for this is not to affect the final sales of the physical book. However, even if Zhang Yu's book is not on the shelves for sale, Vertex Novel immediately gave Zhang Yu's novel the condition of signing an A-level contract, and at the same time activated the bank card account for redeeming gifts, which can be regarded as Zhang Yu can officially obtain gift income from Vertex Novel.
Zhang Yu also asked the author ID to change from the roaring octopus to the octopus and strive to be the same as the ID of the flying dragon net.
Tang Jun checked the author's background, although there was already an author named Octopus before, but his work was not signed with the website, he only posted a book on the platform, and he never got on the account again. And that book has been blocked because of the lack of words. This situation fully met Zhang Yu's requirements for changing the ID, so he signed the ID change agreement in writing, and both parties also signed it.
Zhang Yu, Tang Jun, and Liu Jingchen were busy until more than two o'clock. The agreement was settled, and both parties were satisfied.
Zhang Yu looked up at the time and said, "It's past two o'clock! I'll go back!"
Tang Jun said: "Mr. Zhang, don't be in a hurry to go back first. Another thing, our company is actually very interested in the film and television adaptation rights of Xiaoao Jianghu. The company is willing to bid 1 million to buy out all the film and television adaptation rights within ten years. I don't know if Mr. Zhang is interested in selling the film and television commission adaptation rights of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu'. ”
Zhang Yu thought for a while, and said that the other party paid a price of one million to buy film and television adaptation rights, and the price was not low. He also knows that things like film and television adaptation rights generally can't be sold at too high a price, not to mention that he is still a newcomer, and one million is almost a sky-high price.
Zhang Yu himself wants to say that he doesn't care about the TV adaptation rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
Because when I was on Earth, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was basically nothing good-looking and impressive in TV works. Either it's a script, or it's an incomparably exaggerated work, and there's nothing remarkable about it.
Zhang Yu feels that the main problem lies in the fact that Jin Lao's original Xiaoao Jianghu is almost impeccable in the plot. has squeezed almost all the wonderful plots that can be squeezed, leaving no room for adaptation for later adaptors.
After the novel was made television, it had to be changed to distinguish it from the original version, so as to increase its attractiveness. This only increases the difficulty of adapting "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Therefore, the TV series version of Xiaoao Jianghu is basically a bit of a snake after the adaptation, nondescript, and almost none of them are good-looking.
The only adaptation of Xiaoao Jianghu is better, and it is a few of the film works. It seems that Xu Guanjie Ye and the children's version of Xiaoao Jianghu, or just Jet Li and Lin Qingxia's version of Dongfang Undefeated.
These works are not so much smiling and proud of the rivers and lakes, but in fact, they are just under the banner of smiling and proud of the rivers and lakes.
It should be said that it is the Xiaoao Jianghu Gaiden version, which is more appropriate. In the middle of the plot, there is almost no use of the main plot, and most of them use some corner off-screen plots.
The screenwriter of the film version of the adaptation, Gao Ming is Gao Ming who is bringing some of the original marginal characters and plots to life. One of the most representative is the undefeated of the East played by Lin Qingxia, as soon as the movie was launched, the character of the undefeated of the East was almost recreated, which is one of the iconic representatives of all martial arts novels that make the villain turn into a decent person.
Zhang Yu judged based on his past experience on the earth, and smiled at the work of Jianghu, which is only suitable for movies at the moment, not for TV.
If you want to say that you can sell the TV adaptation rights to Vertex Network. But ten years of TV are all authorized, which is really a bit too long.
Zhang Yu thought of this and said: "If you want to say that you want to spend 1 million to obtain the right to film and television adaptation, it is not low for a newcomer like me." But I think it's mainly a ten-year period, one is too long, and the other is that the rights of all film and television adaptation rights are too large. Personally, I just want to sell the adaptation rights of the TV series, and it is only a one-time license, and I can't add a time limit and a full license. And the rights to adapt the film, I don't want to sell. ”
When Tang Jun heard this, he frowned and said: "One authorization! It's just the right to adapt the TV series." Then the price of this million seems to be ......"
Zhang Yudao: "I also know! Just the adaptation rights of TV series, one million is indeed very high and exaggerated for a newcomer like me." In fact, the price is still negotiable! But my bottom line will not change. There is only the right to adapt the TV series, and there is only a one-time license. You can go back and think about it! Once you've decided, call me again. ”
Tang Jun saw that the other party had bitten the conditions very hard, and there was nothing to do at this time, so he could only nod and watch Zhang Yu leave.
Liu Jingchen saw Zhang Yu leave the music lounge, and turned to Tang Jun: "Boss, although this Zhang Yu is not very old. But he's very assertive! Are we going to call the vice president now?"
Tang Jun shook his head and said, "It's too late now! ”
Liu Jingchen said: "Then do you say that the vice president can buy the adaptation rights of his TV series? ”
Tang Jun said: "Then it's hard to say! But if I am the vice president, this situation, then I can only drag it back, and see how the reaction will be after Xiaoao Jianghu is put on the market." If the sales volume can really reach 500,000 units, it will still be profitable to buy the rights to the TV series. ”
Liu Jingchen said: "Then how much money does the boss think is good?"
Tang Jun pondered for a moment and said, "If it's just a TV series, the maximum one-time authorization is between 300,000 and 500,000!"
Liu Jingchen said: "Then do you think he can sell it?"
Tang Jun said: "Then I don't know! This kid seems to belong to the kind of author who is difficult to do at the moment. All estimates are ineffective on him. ”
