Chapter 57: Signing (4 more)
In '06, online literature was far less developed than it was ten years later.
The issue of contracts is also much more general than it was ten years later.
If you sign a contract after ten years, not only digital copyright, but also major websites usually require exclusive agency for all copyrights such as simplified, traditional, games, animation, film and television, and even radio dramas.
Now, probably few people would have thought that online novels would be published in a large number of simplified and traditional Chinese in the future, and exported to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe......
Tangtang also said just now that their bottom line is the right of network communication, which means that she can hold the copyrights of simplified and traditional Chinese publishing and film and television, games and animations by herself!
That's great news!
You must know that a few years later, IP was very hot, and at that time, all kinds of copyrights, especially film and television and animation, could be sold for millions or even tens of millions!
But now, almost no one thinks that these web novels can be turned into films.
The copyrights sold at this time are also very cheap.
Ten years later, it was filmed, and the very popular Qing Wear TV series, as well as "The Princess of Troubled Times" and so on, because it was a film and television copyright that was sold early, the price ranged from 200,000 to 500,000.
Compared with the popularity of later TV series and the follow-up millions of film and television copyright transactions, this is just a few hundred thousand, which is simply not worth mentioning!
There is also the first very popular weekly drama, which is also the "Liao Zhai - Painting Bone" that made Shen Shiying's career reach a peak, the original simplified copyright was only sold for 200,000 yuan, and the publishing house that bought the simplified copyright of "Liao Zhai - Painting Bone" at that time made a lot of money.
There are countless examples of this.
Therefore, Yunhua decided to put other copyrights in his own hands for the time being, even if he wanted to sign a simplified publishing contract with the publishing house, he would ask for a share, rather than a one-time buyout!
As for the copyright of film, television, anime and games, then there is really no hurry. Now is far from the best time for online novels to develop film and television games, in a few years, when the network is more mature and film and television are more mature, in order to ensure the quality of film and television adapted from novels, of course, the most important thing is that the price will be high by that time!
This is how cloud painting gets into the eye of money, and everything has to be counted.
After reading the contract, Yunhua directly told Tangtang that the exclusive right of online communication can be given to Penguin Literature, but the copyrights of simplified and traditional Chinese publishing, film, television, animation, games, and peripherals are all in her hands.
She can entrust Penguin Literature's copyright department as an agent, but in the end, whether to sell it and how to sell it must be decided by herself, of course, Penguin Literature will be given 10% of the agency fee.
Tangtang: [Fusheng is very refreshing, I immediately asked my colleagues in the legal department to revise the contract and report it to the editor-in-chief for approval, and after 2 hours at the latest, I will definitely give Fusheng a big reply!] 】
Painting Floating: [Okay.] 】
After that, Tangtang went to work non-stop, and Yunhua began to continue writing novels.
She can't write it every day, but online novels are meant to be updated every day, so she needs to write a little more at a time and save the manuscript in the background.
The plot is very smooth, and before I know it, Yun Hua wrote four more chapters, about 8,000 words.
Stretch your waist, and the message of Tangtang comes.
Tangtang: [The contract has been revised and the editor-in-chief has approved it. I will send the contract to your mailbox, please check. If you can, please mail the contract as soon as possible, okay? I'll get you a recommended spot early! 】
