I am a writer

Chapter 51 Taking advantage of the situation [[-] recommendations plus updates]

"What conditions?"

"You are not allowed to adapt in any way derivative works based on "Life and Hate", such as TV series, dramas, musicals, animations, reality shows, etc., even if it is based on the movie script of "Er Lang Shen"."

In the novel copyright market, this is the easiest trap to wrestle with.

It was clearly stated in the authorization that it was just a movie copyright, but the producer took advantage of the loophole and adapted the movie script into a TV series.

In this way, he can argue in court that he did not adapt the novel, but adapted the movie script!
In the previous life, many novels encountered this dilemma.

The author sold the film adaptation rights and TV series adaptation rights to two companies, Guangguang Media and LeTV Pictures.LeTV Pictures, which bought the right to adapt the TV series, actually made a movie based on the script of the TV series, bypassing the original author directly.

Qin Chuan just wants to avoid future troubles!

When Liu Daoyong heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, our company has always only made movies, not TV series."

"Then just state it on the contract."

There is no basis for empty words. If there is a dispute at that time, the court will not judge Qin Chuan in favor of this unsubstantiated statement.

There is a gap between people's hearts. Although everyone is harmonious now, we won't know after the contract is signed.

"Are there any other requirements?"

Qin Chuan nodded, and added: "I hope that after the contract is signed, you will release a relevant news or news bulletin."

You have to let everyone know about the sale of the film adaptation rights!

Especially selling to Lie Yan Pictures is a big book.

Otherwise, publishing companies and film and television companies have no way of knowing.After the announcement, the readers were happy, and the novel website was happy, and those companies had to offer super high remuneration.

Qin Chuan used the short-term benefits of several million to pave the way for his future self, and the long-term benefits were more than the several million copyright transfer fees.

At this time, Liu Daoyong gave Qin Chuan a high look. This young man was not tempted by the immediate benefits. He would rather take less money than hold various copyrights in his hands. Potential!

As long as you become famous, are you still worried about not making money?
"Our company only needs your global film adaptation rights of "Life Grows, Hates Water, and Changdong", as well as the exclusive right to distribute VCD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and Internet streaming media. Other copyrights will not be involved, but we will can be developed together.”

Qin Chuan was now in Cao Ying, worried that he would be fooled into signing directly, so he said: "My mind is a little confused now, why not draft a contract first, and I will go back and discuss with the lawyers before we meet to discuss the specific terms. "

"Okay, Mr. Qin, please sit down for a while. I'll ask Xiao Yang to print the contract. I will use the industry standard copyright transaction contract template to add the things we talked about just now. As for the price, I will write 800 million first, and then we will discuss it carefully. price."

Liu Daoyong knew that time was tight, but he didn't want to show it, so as not to be asked to raise the price.

Yang Yang has been listening in and memorized a lot of things. Now he hurried out of the office and started to add things to the contract template, and it was printed out after a while.

"Ms. Qin, this is a preliminary contract. You can contact me after negotiating with a lawyer. I will be in charge of the schedule. Do you think it will work?"

Qin Chuan carefully calculated the time, and he had to stay at school during the day next week, "I have to go to work all the time next week, and it may be at night to sign the contract. Can you do it then?"

Originally, there was a shortage of teachers. If he asked for leave again, two more classes would not be able to attend.

Liu Daoyong has no objection to this.

Working overtime in the film and television industry is normal.

"Mr. Qin, is your book almost finished? What subject do you plan to write in the next book?"

If the next book is good, we can consider long-term cooperation.

Film and television companies are desperately buying IP, and the price of an excellent IP in the market is very high, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship in advance.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuan was extremely astonished, "This book is still early, and it will be on the shelves on the first of next month. There are at least 70 words left unwritten."

The next book is nowhere in sight!
Liu Daoyong, who had never read online novels, was completely speechless.

If he knew that many 700 million-word novels are not that long, he would probably be so surprised that his eyes would fall down. How many movies would it take to show all the content?
……

After Qin Chuan got the drafted contract, he walked out of the Raging Flame Films building.

Not far away was a young man wearing a mask. He was surrounded by fans and paparazzi, screaming continuously. Not far away, there were many groupies running towards him, as if zombies were attacking the city.

Qin Chuan was so frightened that he hurriedly stayed away for fear of being hit.

Although he was about to become a rich man, he still lived frugally and took the subway all the way back.

There were many people going out to play on weekends, and the subway was crowded. When Qin Chuan tilted his head slightly, he could even see the person next to him reading a novel on his mobile phone.

I wanted to Amway my own book, but I was really ashamed to open it.

When Qin Chuan returned home, there was no one there. Xie Yunmei went to the supermarket with the neighbors in the family courtyard.

He used the computer to leave a message to the editor Big Face Cat, explaining the copyright issue and the lawyer's needs clearly.

Anyway, Longteng has to take 10% of the copyright fee, so it can't let it take the money directly, it has to put in some labor.

Sending a lawyer is the most basic. Qin Chuan even wants the website to give a special recommendation, after all, he can help it earn 100 million.

It is of course best if the two companies can link up.

However, Qin Chuan felt that it was not very realistic. The company must want to get 50% of the share instead of 10%. The appetite of big companies is much greater than that of the author himself.

The copyright transaction was temporarily put aside, and Qin Chuan returned his attention to the novel.

Listing is the most important thing!
It was a coincidence that the copyright of "Life Grows, Hates Water, Changdong" was sold before it hit the shelves.

Obviously known for being abusive, but in the end it just happened to meet the script demand of the film company.

Yang Jian's origin movie just doesn't need the plot behind the novel, so Flame Pictures will start buying it in advance.

Otherwise, a newcomer's work will have to wait until it is wonderful before anyone asks about it.

The publishing company's inquiry is only to act as an agent for publishing, not to purchase publishing rights.

The concepts and meanings of the two are different.

If the contract can be signed smoothly, it means that Flame Pictures will use its long-standing reputation as a guarantee for "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong", and other companies will not hesitate at all.

They are like vultures looking for food, when they see a piece of meat, they immediately jump at it!
"I don't know how much of these copyright fees will end up in my pocket. It's 10% and I have a higher personal income tax. It seems that buying a house is even worse."

Star City is an international metropolis, a political, economic, and cultural center, with tens of millions of permanent residents, and housing prices that are second to none in the country.

If you want to buy a house in a place close to work, just the right to adapt the movie is not enough.

That's why Qin Chuan wanted to take advantage of the situation to sell the rest of the copyrights.

One book earns one apartment, which is regarded as a top writer's level!
