Copyright and non-copyright are two different concepts.

If Wang Lushan sells the copyright of the set to Sun Peng, it will be a one-time after-tax remuneration of two million, and he will not want to do this thing from then on. But if he only authorizes Sun Peng to use it for free and retains all the copyrights himself, it means that he can publish this set of settings by himself in the future, and then make money by getting remuneration and royalties.

If it is general, it is naturally the former that is cost-effective.

But don't look at Wang Lushan's appearance as an otaku, but he is also a professor at Beijing Normal University, both IQ and EQ are online, and more importantly, he is no stranger to the publishing industry, so he quickly came to his own conclusion - retaining copyright is the most cost-effective!

A set set priced at 50 yuan has a royalty of 10 points, and the income from selling a copy is 5 yuan.

As long as you can sell 400,000 copies, you can earn 2 million before tax, and if you can sell 1 million copies, the reward of 2 million after tax can skyrocket!

Of course, the premise of all this is that this canon can be sold.

So seeing Professor Wang's faint smile, Sun Peng took a deep breath and sincerely admired the other party's shrewdness and courage - although Lao Bai's fame is big enough, you dare to bet!

That's not, it's just a canon!

Think about how many fans will be interested in its canon after reading it? And the reason why Wang Lushan dared to put forward such a condition is probably to bet that Sun Peng's new book can be a big seller, and it is also a super big seller, otherwise this is a loss-making business!

But......

"I'm sorry, Professor Wang."

That is, after sighing, Sun Peng immediately shook his head and said: "The issue of copyright is not within the scope of discussion, I'm sorry, the premise of our cooperation is that you transfer all the copyrights of the set of settings you wrote to me!" Of course, if you are not satisfied with the two million pay, we can talk about it again! ”

understood the other party's thoughts, of course Sun Peng would not be stupid enough to agree.

Maybe he won't care about the royalties of this set of settings or something, but what Sun Peng is afraid of is that there will be various copyright disputes because of it in the future - he is not the kind of stunned young man who has just come out of society, and he will not think too well of others. So even if there is even the slightest possibility, Sun Peng will strangle it in the cradle.

Controlling all copyrights is a route that cannot be changed.

So after listening to Sun Peng's words, and then looking at his expression that could not be refuted at all, Wang Lushan took a breath of cold air with a headache, frowned, and said, "Teacher Sun, can't you discuss this aspect?" After all, it's all the fruits of my labor......"

"Ahem! I'll interject! ”

At this time, Sun Qicheng, who had been silent next to him, suddenly spoke: "Xiao Wang, I also know that this work is more troublesome, and you have to pay a lot of hard work, but what about it...... Anyway, it's based on Xiaopeng's data after all, right? And the remuneration of two million, no matter which university professor is given to do it, is it not shabby? ”

In order to accentuate his tone, the old man straightened up and waved his hand vigorously.

In fact, Sun Qicheng didn't understand too much about these things that the two people were arguing about. He has always been concentrating on teaching and writing books only for professional textbooks, he doesn't understand why Sun Peng is willing to give the other party two million when he opens his mouth, but this Wang Lushan is still unwilling to accept it, he only wants copyright. But the old man knew that his nephew was a great talent, especially in making money, so he must have his reasons for doing so.

In this case, the uncle naturally wants to help say a few words.

"This ......"

If he could still argue for two sentences in the face of Professor Sun Pengwang, as soon as the uncle opened his mouth like this, he was a little speechless. After all, two million is indeed a big number, which is worth his salary for several years, and the most important thing is that the sentence "No matter which university professor does it", it gets to the point at once!

Wang Lushan is indeed very good at these things, and has even published a book, but this is not a unique skill after all!

In the capital alone, there are at least a few of his peers who can do it!

So after the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, Wang Lushan could only smile bitterly: "Teacher Sun, what do you say...... Ahem, in fact, I just thought that if I had the copyright in hand, I would have something to use directly if I wrote a book in the future! ”

"Hehe, it's okay with this, I can license it to you for free!"

After hearing Wang Lushan's words, Sun Peng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

“……”

Free authorization, this concept was returned by Sun Peng intact, which made Wang Lushan look at it, and he was completely speechless.

After waiving the copyright claim, there is no need to talk about remuneration again.

The figure of two million is already very high, at least Sun Qicheng thinks it is enough, and the old man even thinks that it is reasonable to cut half of it. So after a few simple words, Sun Peng and Wang Lushan reached an agreement, and then took out the contract that the second sister had drawn up long ago from his bag.

It took half an hour to read this simple entrustment contract, and Wang Lushan signed his name on it with some regret.

"The fastest speed, at least a month!"

After roughly looking at Sun Peng's information, Wang Lushan quickly entered the state of work: "If you want to do something perfect, it will take at least two months...... In fact, I'd like to have three months for me to minimize the vulnerability. ”

"No problem, three months."

Sun Peng doesn't care much about time, he cares more about the quality of this setting. After all, it is not about the book "Han Bo and Lingshi", but also the other six books in the back, so you must not be careless.

However, Sun Peng was still concerned about another question, and asked with a smile: "Professor Wang, then do you think I should write about little Taoist priests or little wizards?" ”

"Well, I think wizards are better, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Lushan gave his intuitive opinion.

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because Taoist priests are very common, who has ever seen a wizard?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Wang Lushan said with a smile: "Although I don't know what kind of content your book is, but from my personal point of view, if it is a Taoist priest who has been seen by anyone, then the sense of mystery will definitely be reduced a lot!" But if it's a wizard, like a wizard in the West, it's sure to pique the reader's interest......"

"Well, that makes sense!"

Hearing Wang Lushan say this, Sun Peng also nodded thoughtfully.

He was more inclined to put the magicians on the heads of the wizards, so that there was a lot of leeway. After all, they are all going to be adapted into movies in the future, and the restrictions on the costumes and hairstyles of the little mentors are too rigid, but the legendary wizards have a lot of room to operate - it is not too easy to let those big bulls design a few beautiful wizard costumes to attract a wave of eyeballs.

At the end of the day, movies are all about visual effects!

After thinking about it carefully, Sun Peng nodded and said, "That's okay, Mr. Wang, you can design it according to the wizard system, I hope to see your masterpiece before New Year's Day......"
