I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 135 Forget it, tomorrow
"Mr. Ji, we still have two options."

"One is to buy out the animation adaptation authorization of "The Shepherd Boy Xun Xian". After that, Mr. Ji can no longer authorize the copyright of "The Shepherd Boy Xun Xian" to other companies or individuals for animation adaptation. This part of the authorization is limited to animation adaptation, but I hope it can There is a right of first refusal with the same conditions for film and television adaptation rights. For this reason, we are willing to pay a buyout fee of 300 million."

"The other is sharing, which is the exclusive authorization of animation adaptations. We are willing to pay 15.00% of the total revenue of related animation projects and [-]% of the revenue of animation extensions."

Compared with the previous "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", the conditions provided by Pioneer Film and Television this time are much better.

It is mainly due to the achievements of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" and the gradually increasing influence of Ji Zhuo himself.

It’s just that this time we’re only talking about the authorization of animation adaptations, and the more expensive space is mainly the exclusive authorization.

Otherwise, relying on the sales volume of the physical book "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" which is still growing steadily and the achievements in various channels, the authorization fee can be even higher.

"...Of course, no matter which way it is, we still hope that Mr. Ji can serve as the screenwriter of the new animation project again. We can discuss the remuneration of the screenwriter separately."

After speaking, Yu Mingzhi smiled and looked at Ji Zhuo again, waiting for Ji Zhuo's reply.

The lawyer who followed Ji Zhuo also looked at Ji Zhuo,
This kind of general decision can only be made by Ji Zhuo himself, and the lawyer can only help him negotiate some detailed terms.

"Let's divide it up."

It's not just that Ji Zhuo has a systematic coverage, but the most valuable part of the anime adaptation of "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" may actually be around the anime.

For example, the dolls of the cloud spirits, the figures of the shepherd boy and the old cow... These may sell for more money than the animation itself in the long run.

The fairy tale "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" is the most suitable novel among Ji Zhuo's works for anime adaptation.

"Okay, then divide it."

Yu Mingzhi smiled and nodded in response.

Then it was the turn of the lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo to discuss the detailed terms with the people from Pioneer Film and Television.

"... Shouldn't this exclusive authorization have a limited number of years? It can't be said that it will be exclusively authorized to your company all the time?"

"Then 30 years?"

"What's the difference between 30 years and a permanent license? I've read Mr. Ji's novels. If you want a permanent license, I don't think the license price of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" should be so high..."

Sure enough, professional things still need professional people to see,
Ji Zhuo chatted with Yu Mingzhi who was sitting next to him,

While watching the lawyer I brought fight with the people from Pioneer Film and Television, tit for tat, watching it with relish.

Yu Mingzhi next to him didn't pay too much attention to the details of the negotiation, just chatted with Ji Zhuo with a smile.

"...Mr. Ji's new book "Bird in a Cage" is really well written. I read it too. Once I bought it, I couldn't put it down. I couldn't help but read it in the middle of the night last night. Look, the dark circles are still on the eye sockets. .”

"Mr. Yu is absurd."

"...It's not a compliment. I have an old father who is also your reader, Mr. Ji. Could it be convenient for you to sign the book?"

Ji Zhuo watched Yu Mingzhi take out "Bird in a Cage" that he didn't know when he had prepared it from the table.
I feel a little pain in my wrist.

"Row……"

He took the pen, and added a somewhat ugly artistic signature with a blessing as usual.

"thanks……"

Yu Mingzhi seemed to be faintly relieved, and then smiled again.

Although he also wants the signed book of 'Dog Author' to send back, but it's a contract, how embarrassing,
He asked for it for his father.

The autograph book was about to be obtained for his old father, Yu Mingzhi felt more relaxed, and chatted with Ji Zhuo casually,
"Mr. Ji, this book is also finished. Do you have any ideas for the next book? We readers are all waiting."

Yu Mingzhi might think he was joking,

Ji Zhuo was a little silent.

No... No matter where I go, there are people rushing for new books.

"I'm writing, I'm writing."

"...Well, Mr. Ji, do you have any idea of ​​selling the copyright of your "Seven Days of Hell"...Hey, forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

His father liked the book "Seven Days of Hell" very much.
In fact, he also wanted to buy the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell",
But "Seven Days of Hell" is the best-selling work among Ji Zhuo's works other than "The Caged Bird", and it is still growing steadily.
It is already good that Ji Zhuo is willing to authorize the adaptation rights of "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" to Pioneer Film and Television.
Then let Ji Zhuo authorize the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell" to them while the value of the copyright is still rising. Yu Mingzhi felt that it was somewhat embarrassing, so he didn't mention it again.

Ji Zhuo just felt that Yu Mingzhi was somewhat inexplicable, what happened to the half of what he said?

However, Ji Zhuo had to be careful about the copyright transfer of "Seven Days of Hell".

Sci-fi is hard to shoot, and he is really afraid of making a weird adaptation... After all, the incentive money for the sub-profession of screenwriting is not too high, and it is not enough to make him betray his conscience... The main profession is almost as high.

Pioneer Film and Television really has an idea, so let's talk about it next time.

"Mr. Ji..."

Here Ji Zhuo is talking leisurely with Yu Mingzhi.

Over there, the lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo fought with the people from Pioneer Film and Television for a while and negotiated a contract.

Specifically, the terms of the contract are,

The copyright of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is exclusively authorized to Pioneer Film and Television for animation adaptation, and Pioneer Film and Television has the priority to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" under the same conditions.

The contract period is 25 years.

As for the copyright income brought about by authorization, the income share of Pioneer Film and Television Animation Project is 15.00%, and the peripheral share is a little more than before the discussion, to [-]%.

At the same time, the contract stipulated that Pioneer Film and Television had to start the animation project of "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" in the near future, and stipulated the minimum investment in the animation project... If Pioneer Film and Television did not start the animation project within a certain period of time, the contract would be void, and Pioneer Film and Television would compensate Ji Zhuo liquidated damages.

As for Ji Zhuo's screenwriting contract, he signed it separately.

Two percent of the animation project is divided into hundreds of thousands.The peripheral share of [-]% is not sure how much it is, it may be tens of thousands, or it may be hundreds of thousands.

"...Okay, this is also the second time Mr. Ji and we have cooperated."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Hey...Mr. lawyer, do you have any idea to change jobs? Our company's legal department is quite short of people."

Now that we're done talking,
Before Ji Zhuo left, Pioneer Film and Television also settled the previous "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" animation share,
The money given by Pozhan has not yet arrived in the account, the money was paid to Ji Zhuo in advance by Pioneer Film and Television.

It's a comfortable thing to do... But Ji Zhuo still feels that Mr. Yu from Pioneer Film and Television is somewhat strange,
Because when he was about to leave, he still wanted to poach his lawyer...

Good guy, this is someone who wants to dig when they see a talent.

Even the lawyer who followed Ji Zhuo was confused.

……

"Mr. Ji, then I will take my leave first."

"Okay, I'll trouble you this time..."

Back in Shanghai, separated from the lawyer I hired,

Ji Zhuo went back to his residence.

As soon as the living room door is closed, I spread myself out on the sofa,
I don't want to move anymore.

The copyright authorization of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is over.

"Bird in a Cage" is still on sale, but a new mission is about to start.

Should I consider starting a new book?
Why don't we start soon?

Or at night...forget it, tomorrow.

made this decision,
Ji Zhuo continued to lie paralyzed on the sofa.

It was officially four o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight slanting into the room fell on Ji Zhuo,

It's a bit warm, making people feel lazy and don't want to move.

　It's the end of the month, do you have some tickets in hand?

　　Well, let's get some tickets.

　　As the saying goes, there are tickets for books, so don't panic.
