Chapter 57 Signing a contract (4 more)
In 2006, online literature was far less developed than it was ten years later.
The contract problem is much more general than it will be in ten years later.
If you sign a contract ten years later, not only digital copyrights, but major websites usually require exclusive agents for all copyrights in simplified, traditional, games, animation, film and television, and even radio dramas.
Nowadays, few people can think that online novels will be published in large quantities in simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, and will be sold to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, Southeast Asia, North America, Europe...
Tangtang said just now that their bottom line is the right to disseminate the Internet, that is, she can hold the copyrights of simplified traditional Chinese publishing and film, television, games and animations by herself!
This is really good news!
You should know that a few years later, IP was very popular. At that time, various 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 online novels can be filmed and television.
The copyright sold at this time is also very cheap.
It was filmed ten years later, and the very popular Qingchuan TV series, as well as "The Princess of Troubled Times", etc., are film and television copyrights sold early, and the prices range from 200,000 to 500,000.
Compared with the popularity of TV series later and the subsequent film and television copyright transactions of millions or tens of millions, these only a few hundred thousand are simply worth mentioning!
There is also the first very popular weekly drama, which also brought Shen Shiying's career to a peak. The original simplified Chinese copyright was only sold for 200,000 yuan. At that time, the publisher who purchased the simplified Chinese copyright of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Painted Bone" made a fortune.
There are countless examples of this.
Therefore, Yunhua decided to temporarily put other copyrights in his own hands. Even if he wanted to sign a simplified publishing contract with the publisher, he would require a share of the shares instead of a one-time buyout!
As for the copyright of film, TV, animation and games, it is really not a hurry. Now is far from the best time to develop movies and TV games on the Internet. In a few years, the Internet will become more mature and the film and television will be more mature, so that the quality of novel adaptations of movies and TV series can be guaranteed. Of course, the most important thing is that the price will be high by that time!
Yunhua is just like this, and she has to calculate everything.
After reading the contract, Yunhua told Tangtang directly that the exclusive online communication rights can be given to Penguin Literature, but the copyrights of simplified traditional Chinese publishing, film, television, animation, games, and peripherals must be in her hands.
She can entrust her to the copyright agency of Penguin Literature, but whether to sell it in the end and how to sell it must be decided by herself. Of course, she will give Penguin Literature a 10% agency fee.
Tangtang: [Fusheng Dada is so refreshing. I immediately asked my colleagues from the Legal Department to modify the contract and report it to the editor-in-chief for approval. After 2 hours at the latest, I will definitely give Fusheng a big reply!]
Painting Fusheng:【Okay.】
After that, Tangtang went all the time, and Yunhua began to continue writing novels.
She couldn't write it every day, but online novels just need to be updated every day, so she needs to write more at once and save the manuscript in the background.
The plot was very smooth, and before I knew it, Yunhua wrote four more chapters, about 8,000 words.
After stretching, Tangtang's message came.
Chapter completed!
