"The game copyright of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" can be sold for this price. I can't imagine what kind of sky-high price such a fantasy-themed masterpiece like Xuezhong will sell! It feels like it can set a new record in the entire history of online literature! "

"Be confident, get rid of the feeling, and you will definitely create a new record."

"..."

"It's just about to get ready for the Chinese New Year holiday, @罗文, double your year-end bonuses for everyone, and take it as my little care to give everyone a good year!"

"Oooooooo-"

"I found that I was going to fall hopelessly in love with you, Boss!"

"My little wife, who has been using it for seven or eight years, can finally be replaced."

"Bah~ scumbag!"

"What are you talking about, my little wife is referring to the computer at home."

It’s no wonder that everyone in the studio is so excited. It’s good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Relying on Li Chungang, a big tree that supports the sky, the employees of Wensi Quanyong Studio’s bonuses at the end of the year are not cheap. Such a doubling is tantamount to tens of thousands of extra income, isn't it good?

No one knows the future development trajectory of the web literature, maybe one day the net cleansing action will suddenly become suspenseful, and it will be netted on the head of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". This is not completely impossible.

A total of 3600 million copyright fees were included in the copyright contract, and only the 1200 million from Jiaxing was included in the copyright contract. That is, this part was divided according to the proportion of the contract. The 720 million yuan given as compensation is not included in the copyright fee. In other words, a lot of the money is his income!

More than 3040 million, how long has it been since then, and almost half of the villa's money has been earned back.

If the monthly manuscript fee for a novel subscription is described as a slow stream, then selling the copyright is like a rainstorm, coming quickly and heavily!No wonder in recent years more and more great authors have chosen to cooperate with some game companies to customize a novel specifically for their games. With the writing skills of great authors, the content is at least guaranteed. As long as they work together to promote it, it will be the author's website A win-win situation for the three parties of the game company.

Such examples include the custom text written by the most popular e-sports game LOL, looking for skeletons; and a custom text written by Chong Dae for King Pesticide, etc... Some of the memories of the post-80s and post-90s are familiar End game World of Warcraft, fantasy, big talk, the authors who write novels with these contents are like crucian carp crossing the river.

According to irresponsible gossip, the prices of the two great authors for the game company's customized texts are both in the eight figures. Few people can refuse such sky-high prices!

"Husband, look at that person next to him, he has more than 1000 million people when he opens and closes his mouth, and he blows like the real thing."

"Hey! People like to pretend [beep——] what do you care about him?"

"It's just a little uncomfortable to hear, a poor guy who doesn't even have a car!"

"Okay, just take care of yourself. Maybe people are talking about 1000 and 1000 yuan instead of [-] and [-] million."

"..."

The whispers of a young couple next to them who thought no one could hear them were heard by Li Chungang, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. It's just that ordinary people answer a phone call and talk normally, but how come they pretend to be coercive? This kind of person is really inexplicable!

Of course, this is just a small episode, and these lemon extracts are so satisfying, it is unrealistic for them to put them into action.

After returning home, Li Chungang arranged the big purchases one by one. It happened that the master who contacted yesterday to pull the network cable came to the door at this time.There has never been a thing like the Internet in this family. In the past, Li's parents and Li's mother forbade him from getting in touch with the Internet world prematurely on the grounds that his studies were the most important, and he became addicted to it.

Later, after something happened and passed away, there will be no more.

Anyway, the Internet is given away for free in the mobile phone package that can’t be moved, don’t want it for nothing!Anyway, his minimum requirement for the Internet is to be able to upload the latest chapters of novels. Of course, this is not a problem on the Internet that cannot move. At least log in to the chat software every day, and it is no problem to watch videos on some websites!

Maybe it was stimulated by Li Chungang's 3600 million yuan in the afternoon, or maybe it was inspired by the double bonus at the end of the year. He was about to make himself a braised chicken and rice when he received a call from Luo Wen:

"Lin Meng contacted Maple Leaf Animation, and the other party expressed interest in both of your novels. What do you think?"

By the way: Lin Meng is the person in charge of Li Chungang's personal brand operation department, and also his senior sister at Tsinghua University.

Originally, Li Chungang was very happy that the game copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" could be sold, but now there is good news about the animation copyright.

"Did they make an offer?"

If the copyrights of the manga and animation of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" can be sold, basically the potential value of the book "Ghost Blowing Lantern" can be said to have been fully tapped, and the rest is nothing more than the website. Readers subscribe, and this subscription will fade over time.

Now the key is to see what price the other side can offer!

Chapter 216 New Industry Benchmark

"A one-buy price of 800 million! Including the copyright of manga and anime."

Li Chungang is in a tangle...

In his opinion, this price is obviously a bit low. The current domestic comic market is still very good, and the effect of the manga adaptation of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" should not be bad. Many places that cannot be described in words can be improved through the form of comics. The image is vivid, let alone the form of animation is even better.

The strength of Maple Leaf Animation in the animation industry is obvious to all. At present, there are few teams and studios in China, whether they are doing comics or animation, that can match this. In addition, the strong cooperation between Maple Leaf Animation and Station B Even more powerful.

However, based on the current size of the opponent, being able to offer a high price of 800 million yuan at a one-off price has fully reflected the opponent's potential for the manga adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the manga adaptation and the script adaptation have something in common. , that is to extract as much as possible the wonderful plots in the novel content. It just so happens that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has roughly divided the plots of Jingjue Ancient City and Longling Miku at the beginning of its publication. Adapted.

This is the matter of Maple Leaf Animation.

"How is this price in the market price?" This is what Li Chungang is more concerned about. After all, he is already one of the top platinum masters in the industry. Whether it is to maintain brand value or something, win-win cooperation can be a little bit better. Make some concessions, but you can't suffer too much, otherwise it will be easy to make people think that he is a tough guy, a piece of fat that can bite into a few bites casually.

"Based on the information we have so far, the highest price for the comic copyright in the novel is 460 million for "Star Ring Continent", and the 800 million for Maple Leaf Animation is already the highest price in the industry, so we have no way to refer to it. other people."

After listening to Lin Meng's words, Li Chungang fell into a trance.

Unexpectedly, before I knew it, I would become the record creator and wind vane in the entire online literature circle. In the past, no matter whether it was the publication of physical books or the sale of film and television copyrights, I would subconsciously refer to the supreme gods like Yaoyang. Now suddenly there is no one to refer to, but I have become the reference object of other web writers!

Li Chungang didn't think too deeply, anyway, it was already the highest price in the industry, which was enough to prove the sincerity of the other party.What's more, for the sake of word-of-mouth, he didn't want "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be randomly adapted by some small animation companies and studios, and it would be his own brand that would be smashed when he made a four-faced magic modification.

And because of the limited "cake" in the domestic Chinese manga market, it is also the least valuable and the most difficult to sell among all copyrights except for audiobook copyrights. Now that someone is interested in it, it's good to sell it.

Not surprisingly, in the future, "Fighting Knife in the Snow", "Medical Warriors" and even subsequent works will embark on the step of manga reform sooner or later. The current cooperation between "Ghost Blowing Lantern" and Maple Leaf Animation can be regarded as a kind of Let’s explore the strength of Maple Leaf Animation. If the quality of the manga after the adaptation is not satisfactory, basically the road to cooperation in the future will be completely blocked, even if the other party is willing to pay more money.

Thinking of this, he replied directly to Lin Meng: "Continue to fight for the price if you can. Anyway, the other party will come to you automatically. The worry is that they are not us. Also... because of the contract of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the copyright is sold for Long Teng shares, so if you have settled with Maple Leaf Animation, remember to notify Long Teng, understand?"

Lin Meng: "We have learned about the content of the contract of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in detail, and we all know it. Tomorrow we will have another negotiation with Maple Leaf Animation. I estimate that the price of 800 million is not their bottom line. Around 1000 million. I will contact Longteng as soon as possible after the negotiation with them. The trouble is a bit troublesome, but after all, it involves the interests of both parties and the spirit of the contract. We will still perform it seriously. "

Li Chungang: "Okay, you can call me at any time if you have anything! You have worked hard, and I will suggest to Lao Luo that our studio organizes a tour group every year after the Spring Festival and the Beginning of Autumn. Where to travel and relax You decide physically and mentally, and I will bear all the expenses on the journey, and of course the family members can bring it with them!"

"Oye!!!"

"Boss, I love you to death!"

"I suggest that we go directly abroad. How about a vacation in Hawaii as the first stop?"

"You have a good idea! As I say, let's go skiing in Italy."

"..."

Lin Meng recounted the good news in front of everyone in the studio almost immediately, causing commotion in the whole office in an instant.There is no way, the people who choose to work in their profession are basically young people, and even half of them are fresh graduates who just graduated from school last year, not to mention the opportunity to travel abroad, the great rivers and mountains of the motherland have never been experienced Woolen cloth.

In fact, it is said to be a benefit for the studio employees, but Li Chungang himself also has this idea!

He already has a house, a house, and deposits in the bank. The annual interest alone is enough to eat and drink, not to mention the current serialization of Xuezhong brings him a high monthly manuscript fee.There is also the first quarter income from the physical publishing royalties of "Kyushu Misty Records", as well as various copyright income from "Fighting Knives in the Snow", etc...

As for the biggest problem - girlfriend, this fate is destined not to be forced, Li Chungang feels that he can work harder, and this year there are many opportunities to get rid of the 21-year crown of mother-fetal single Solo.

At the end of the call with Lin Meng, Li Chungang did not forget to agree to the promise of the studio, and mentioned the spring and autumn outings to Lao Luo on WeChat, and left the rest to Lao Luo to make arrangements.

This is the ultimate mystery of the hands-off shopkeeper!

I am only responsible for coming up with ideas, and it has nothing to do with him as to whether or how to realize them in the end.

"Treat yourself with an Orleans drumstick tonight!"

Only then did Li Chungang realize that money is so easy to earn. In less than two hours and two phone calls, the income was more than 3000 million to nearly 4000 million Chinese yuan, and the game copyright share of 3040 million, plus after-tax The copyright of manga and animation will probably be between 400 million and 500 million.

Tsk tsk tsk~ I said just now that I almost earned back half of the villa, but now I really earned back half of the villa!

"If the deposit of more than 1 million yuan is put into Yu'ebao, I don't know if Ma Baba will accept it? If the annualized interest rate is 3%, one year is...

300! ! ! "

Chapter 217 "Old Li Taste"

In the most remote area of ​​Pengcheng, Longgang District, the most high-end and high-end buffet is in Yinxiu Villa.

If it was Li Chungang who chose the food and place he wanted to eat, he would not come here even if he chose the "Li Laowei" abalone chicken pot closest to his door. Personally, I prefer to eat some more authentic and more pot-like food.

Looking at the young boy with faint fluff on the corner of his mouth and still childish, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart.According to incomplete statistics, more than 80.00% of the editors in the current circle are actually writing novels or have ever written novels. There are well-known author vests, and there are also small vests that no one knows about.

As they deal with novels every day, just like the saying in "The Analects of Confucius Zi Zhang" that "a good official can learn, and a good student can become an official". Editors are a group of readers who are more professional and also There will be a sudden idea of ​​​​writing a book by yourself.

Most of them become one of the many who are ashamed to talk to others, and then die as an editor!

It was precisely because of the young man in front of him that Yunmo was arranged by Brilliance yesterday to rush to Pengcheng to sign a contract with the other party within today, and the number of contracts has changed from one to two.In addition to the game copyright that Long Teng had known for a long time, what they didn't expect was that the other party's personal studio had already completed the sale of the copyright of comics and animation for them without any notice.

I sold two copyrights in one day, and more than 3000 million yuan in income fell to my head just sitting at home. It's not an exaggeration!Regardless of the fact that he has worked so hard in Longteng for nearly ten years, his total annual income is only around [-] to [-], which is already considered an elite white-collar level in Shanghai. middle-to-high income group.

That's it, it still can't keep up with the ever-expanding housing prices in Shanghai, don't you think it's annoying!

This time when he came to Pengcheng, Yunmo was authorized by the editor-in-chief and general manager Hua Chen to be fully responsible for the copyright transaction of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".To put it nicely, that’s right. To put it simply, it’s actually taking the traveling expenses reimbursed by the company, rushing to Pengcheng to sign someone’s autograph, and then rushing back to Shanghai again.

The people at their table, besides Li Chungang and him, were also present from Jiaxing Xinyue and Maple Leaf Animation. Unlike Longteng, whose headquarter was set up in Shanghai, it didn't have branches in other parts of the country. And Maple Leaf Animation can only send people who can be trusted by the company to take charge. As a game giant, Jiaxing Xinyue has a branch directly in Pengcheng, and the managers of the branch are also present.

A total of six people gathered together, and they had already negotiated terms with each other before they came. Since they came to Pengcheng, there was no need to talk nonsense, and both Jiaxing Xinyue and Maple Leaf Animation had already agreed on the terms before coming. After venturing and saying hello to Longteng, they went straight to the point when they came up. After reading the contents of the contract and confirming that there were no problems or traps, they signed their names without hesitation.

Li Chungang should be the most special one, because it involves the copyright of online novels, so after signing his own life, he needs to add his own pen name behind it, and he represents the personal life that he still needs to sign. Fingerprints are affixed to the pseudonym, while the three companies affix the pre-prepared official seals on the contract on behalf of their companies, and the contract is considered to be officially effective at this point, and has received the protection of the contract law!

Regarding the matter of copyright fees, Yunmo specially explained to Li Chungang the operation sequence of their Longteng regarding this part of the income. Anyway, Li Chungang didn't pay much attention to it. He probably needed to go through the company's finance department to form a running account and report, etc. , After that, it has to be reported to the group for approval before it will be issued together with the publication fee next month.

For a man with a deposit of more than 1 million yuan, this is a big deal.Besides, now that Longteng is determined to lose Yaoyang, as long as he is not stunned, it is impossible to offend Li Chungang because of such a small share of copyright fees, especially after the Longteng annual meeting. At the critical moment when they are flexing their muscles and making great strides, there is no room for any mistakes.

After signing the contract, Li Chungang greeted him with a smile: "We're done talking about the business, and everyone has come to Pengcheng from afar. To be honest, the buffet here is really good. I invite everyone to come in and enjoy it!"

Yun Mo declined with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Great God Chungang, for your kindness, but I have to catch a plane to fly back to Shanghai, and the editor-in-chief is still waiting for my reply. You should also know that after signing this contract This contract also means that Longteng's acquisition of Jiaxing Chinese website is about to start, and the company is at the time when it is most short of manpower, next time I have the opportunity to go to Shanghai, I will be the host, please return to you, God."

In addition, the people from Jiaxing Xinyue and Maple Leaf Animation also said that there are other things in the company that need to be busy, and by the way, they declined Li Chungang's request for a treat.

This made Li Chungang a little bit embarrassed. There are not many opportunities to treat guests on weekdays. Most of them are treated by others. For example, when they went out with Gu Bei and Sister E, they almost pressed him to death. The stool is not allowed to pay the bill for treats; the brothers in the 404 dormitory take turns to treat each other. He doesn’t want to say that because he is richer than other brothers in the dormitory, he has to treat every time. This will make the friendship in the dormitory worse. No matter how pure it is.

The other party said all of them in a serious manner, and they couldn't say "If you don't stay and let me treat you, you won't give me face", so in the end, they had to say with regret: "In this case, I I won’t leave you guys any longer, and the journey will be smooth sailing!”

"Thank you so much, I'll take the first step!"

"Then we're leaving too. I hope we can continue to cooperate with Mr. Li in the future!"

"Yes, yes, I look forward to our continued cooperation in the future! Mr. Li, please stay behind~"

The copyright cooperation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is just the first tentative cooperation between them and Li Chungang. If they can achieve good results, the next "Fighting Knife in the Snow" is what they need to win at all costs. phenomenal works.

Plans can never keep up with changes. Li Chungang had thought carefully before coming here. If he arranges people to eat a buffet, it doesn’t matter what they want and how much they can eat. There is no need to consider the different tastes of different people, whether there is anything to stop eating, etc. Wait... Since no one was staying for dinner, Li Chungang went in alone in line with the principle that if you don't come, you don't come for nothing, and if you come, you come for nothing.

--------------

On the last day of August, Preserved Egg finally had the audacity to beg readers' fathers for support!

If you have a monthly pass, don't let it rot in your hand, vote for it!If you haven't subscribed yet, go for a walk, and if you still have a balance, you can also give a reward!

Chapter 218 An Emotionless Codeword Machine

The competition in the online spelling bee is far more intense than Li Chungang imagined!

In order to let the contestants know the hard power of the competitors in a timely manner, the writer assistant simultaneously opened a thing called "Team Ladder Ranking" at the moment the competition officially started, aiming to update in real time the spelling contest. The dynamic word count of the top [-] teams.

According to the background information of the writer's assistant, this team's ladder list will still be retained after the end of the spelling bee, but the data on the list will be changed to be refreshed once a month, and the top three teams in the month can still get the writer's list. Rewards from assistants.

As for what the reward is... It is open to discussion!

Anyway, no matter how much the reward after the final discussion with the writer's assistant is, it is a good thing for the authors who only have such a coding software available, although 90.00% of the people can see it and can't eat it.

The spelling contest held by the main writer's assistant this time is open to the entire network. As long as the coded novel content is successfully uploaded to the novel website, it will be counted by default. For a competition, a new book was temporarily created on some small fiction websites with less stringent background monitoring, and the competition took advantage of the opportunity after the formal signing.

It can only be said that there is no absolute fairness in this world, only relative fairness!Judging from the rules of the competition announced by the writer's assistant, the behavior of these people is completely in line. At most, if they really win in the end, they will end up with a shameful saying that the victory is invincible. However, considering the face of 100 million, this level The slander of Internet trolls and keyboard warriors, I believe most people will feel that it is not worth mentioning.

Before the little monster beat Bumpman, other people in the League group had discussed the expected goal of this spelling bee. After a good discussion, they set the goal on "keeping the first place in a hundred" Well, you still need to be a little self-aware to be a human being. This kind of competition that simply competes in quantity and doesn't care about quality, even if the tentacles are as weird as they are, they feel helpless.

Because they need to consider the quality of the novel, for the 1 million bonus of No.100, they wrote a work that could earn millions or even tens of millions of manuscript fees a month. They wouldn't be stupid to do such a thing.

If the scope of this spelling bee can be narrowed to their Longteng Chinese website, it's not that they are bragging, No.1 is simply better than them! ?

The next day when Li Chungang woke up naturally at home from sleep, he squinted and glanced at the time on the phone screen, but it was not yet nine o'clock, so he unlocked it and glanced at the message on WeChat...

Anyone who is familiar with Li Chungang knows that his mobile phone is absolutely silent when he is resting. It doesn’t matter whether it is WeChat voice bombing or phone calls. If you have anything to do, just leave a message on WeChat. After you rest, you will see it naturally. Reply one by one.

There is no important thing to deal with. Leave a message. Most of them are greetings and chats among friends. A few WeChat groups are still as lively as ever. Fortunately, there is a powerful function of do not disturb when there are messages, which makes Li Chungang a little stunned. What's amazing is that the small group of only five people is not inferior to the large group of hundreds of people in terms of unread chat messages.

The eagle eats chicken cubs: "Look at the guys on the list, they are completely shameless!"

Laughing Taoist: "That's because the bonus of 100 million won't be able to attract you to go all out. If it were these people, they would have to go all out."

The eagle eats chicken cubs: "I guess these guys haven't stopped to code from the moment it started at 0 o'clock in the morning, and I checked their pseudonyms, all of them are uploaded on some small websites , the content can be filled with 1 words if you want to eat a meal, don’t you think it’s irritating?”
