I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 397 is all thanks to the readers

"Mr. Ji, take a seat...Mr. Ji, please make a trip in your busy schedule. We should have visited in person."

In the afternoon, Ji Zhuo arrived at the headquarters of Pioneer Film and Television Media in Yucheng.

Sitting with Yu Mingzhi, editor Shi, the head of animation and shadow department.

"Mr. Yu is polite."

Ji Zhuo exchanged pleasantries with Yu Mingzhi and the others, and the group of people sitting in the conference room got down to business.

"Mr. Ji, this is the authorization contract that we have initially drawn up. Mr. Ji, please check if there is any problem. We can communicate again."

"The authorization share is the same as the previous agreement. 20.00% of the direct income of animation projects, 5.00% of peripheral income. [-]% of the box office share of film and television projects. It is used to obtain the animation and film adaptation authorization of Mr. Ji's "Seven Days of Hell" .

Of course, Mr. Ji said that he is willing to donate half of the box office proceeds to charity projects for the blind, deaf, and aphasic, and that's the next thing. "

While talking, Yu Mingzhi took the drafted contract from the lawyer of the legal department next to him, and handed it over to Ji Zhuo.

Ji Zhuo looked at it from the beginning to the end, and then handed it to the lawyer he brought,

"Pioneer Film and Television, Yu Mingzhi, will also do as I said before, as much as Mr. Ji donates, Pioneer Film and Television will donate twice."

While the lawyer was still reading the contract, Yu Mingzhi and Ji Zhuo continued talking.

"Mr. Yu is righteous."

Ji Zhuo praised,
After all, people spend money, so what's wrong with boasting a few words.

"Hey... If you want to say that righteousness is Mr. Ji's righteousness, I just followed Mr. Ji's example."

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Yu, you two, please don't praise each other. Both of you are righteous."

Pioneer Film and Television, the person in charge of the film and television department said at this time,
The people in the entire conference room laughed along with it, as if it was quite funny,

Ji Zhuo then showed some smiles.

"Mr. Ji, I don't know if Editor Shi has mentioned it to you. Your book "Seven Days of Hell" is of special significance to my father and me. In fact, I have always wanted to get Mr. Ji's book. Authorization for the adaptation of the book, but there has never been a suitable opportunity."

Yu Mingzhi let out a long breath while talking,
"My father worked hard all his life. A few years ago, his eyes suddenly failed, and he became completely blind not long afterward."

"It's just that after being blind, the whole person seems to be paralyzed. Even though the legs and feet are still convenient, most of the time they can't leave the wheelchair."

"My father likes your work very much, and so do I. Not only in "Seven Days of Hell", this world is always missing a sense, but hidden in this world, the spirit in this story .”

"Toughness and courage, even if you lose a sense of the world and the world becomes unknown again, the human beings in the book never lack the courage to re-explore the unknown and fight against the unknown."

"This kind of tenacity and courage is particularly inspiring. Even in the most desperate time, I did not give up the last persistence."

It can be seen that Yu Mingzhi really likes the book "Seven Days of Hell". When he was talking, he was a little excited,

Ji Zhuo just kept smiling and listened carefully,

He will not evaluate a reader's understanding of this work. After the book is completed, it does not belong to him completely.

"I've read this book over and over again. Of course, I think my father likes your work even more than I do..."

After being excited, Yu Mingzhi probably felt that he had lost his composure.
Paused, and calmed down again,

"Sorry, Mr. Ji, it's a bit far away."

"No, thank you, Mr. Yu, for liking this work. I think it's normal for a reader to talk about his work with the author."

Ji Zhuo responded with a smile,

Yu Mingzhi also laughed out loud,
"Yes, yes! Mr. Ji is right."

But after laughing, he didn't continue what he said before,
Turn back and talk about the authorization contract again.

"...This contract, apart from what was said before. We know Mr. Ji that you don't like permanent authorization, so we still set an authorization period, which is 20 years."

"In addition, Pioneer Film and Television also guarantees that it will officially launch the filming plan of the "Seven Days of Hell" film and television project within half a year, and will continue to carry out this filming work. This is also written in the contract."

"Of course, Mr. Ji can also rest assured that if I hold your copyright and don't start filming for a long time, my father will not agree."

While speaking, Yu Mingzhi paused again.

"The animation project and the film and television project, Pioneer Film and Television will launch at the same time."

"According to the idea of ​​the animation department, the animation is expected to be two seasons of animation, and the expected investment is 5000 million. If an animation film is made later, the investment will be calculated separately."

"The film and television projects are mainly film projects. Pioneer Film and Television is planning to invest [-] million yuan, and strive to make this work well. If the post-production is not enough, we will continue to add more."

"Seven Days of Hell" has a special meaning for Yu Mingzhi,
This adaptation of the film also has a special meaning.

He didn't do this completely as a businessman and the boss of a film and television company,
Neither was particularly concerned with whether the film would pay for itself.

After all, it hasn't been filmed yet. In total, more than ten percent of the box office has been donated.

However, considering the worldwide influence of Ji Zhuo's works,

Basically, there is no need to consider the problem of not being able to get back the money.

It only needs to do a good job in the shooting of "Seven Days of Hell", and naturally there will be a lot of support from readers.

"Thank you."

Ji Zhuo thanked Yu Mingzhi.

Yu Mingzhi smiled and waved his hands, then his eyes seemed to be a little distracted, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Until the lawyer brought by Ji Zhuo read the contract carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it back to Ji Zhuo.

"Mr. Ji, there is nothing wrong with the contract."

"Ah."

Ji Zhuo took it, and Yu Mingzhi came back to his senses.

The two parties formally signed the authorization contract.

"...Mr. Ji, the business is over. Let Pioneer Film and Television do its best as a landlord, and let's have a meal together."

"Don't worry about it. It's still some time before night. I still have some things. I'm in a hurry to go back, so I won't bother you anymore. Next time."

"That's fine, then we won't delay your business, Mr. Ji."

Seeing that Ji Zhuo didn't intend to stay, he didn't try to keep him too much.

A group of people got up,

While talking, he sent Ji Zhu all the way to the downstairs of Pioneer Film and Television Headquarters, and walked a few steps along the road before stopping.

"Don't bother Mr. Yu, you can send it away again, just come here."

"That's fine, then I won't send it away anymore, and I'm still in a hurry to report to my old father."

After saying a few more words, Ji Zhuo got into the car and went to the high-speed railway station in Yucheng.

And here,
After parting from Ji Zhuo, Yu Mingzhi returned to the office,
He really called his father first.

……

"...a gust of wind blows, and the kite continues to fly forward..."

in the room.The old man is sitting on a chair, holding a mobile phone in his hand,

He was wearing a bluetooth headset by his ear, and he had just finished listening to today's update of "Kite".

After listening to it, the old man paused again, then fell silent, and took off the earphones.

"Uncle Yu..."

Just took off the earphones, and heard the nurse calling him softly,

The old man turned his head slightly,

"Uncle Yu, Mr. Yu called."

"What to do if you have nothing to call me."

The old man said something like this, but he put on a bluetooth headset again,

He fumbled for the phone screen with his hands, and probably clicked on the place where he answered the call on the phone screen,

After clicking twice, the voice in the headset was different, and the call was connected.

The nurse was standing next to him. He was going to help, but seeing that the old man had connected the phone,

Just stood by and watched.

After seeing the old man connected to the phone, he paused,
Then there were a few "um" and "um..." several times,

Just take off the bluetooth headset again,

It's just that after the call was over, the old man remained silent, sitting on the seat, seemingly in a daze, without saying a word.

"Uncle Yu? What's the matter?"

Seeing the old man's appearance, the nurse asked in a low voice.

"No……"

The old man shook his head, and at this moment, some smiles gradually appeared on his face,

"The bastard told me that the copyright of "Seven Days of Hell" has been taken down, and he is going to start making movies and animations."

The old man said with a smile.

The nurse froze for a moment, then laughed,
"That's a good thing."

The nurse who accompanied the old man most of the time knew very well the status of the book "Seven Days of Hell" in the heart of the old man.
The old man really liked this book very much.

"Well... when the movie comes out, play it for me and let me listen to it."

"it is good."

The old man spoke proactively this time.

The nurse responded quickly.

The old man nodded and didn't speak any more. He raised his head, his eyes were still dark, he didn't know what he was looking at, and he was a little lost in thought.

……

The copyright authorization of "Seven Days of Hell" has been finalized, and for Ji Zhuo, one thing is missing.

The mood is also short-lived.

But after getting out of the high-speed rail station, he took the car back to his residence, and before he got home, Ji Zhuo received another bad news.

From Al.

"al: Mr. I, the sales statistics of "The Ordinary and the Great" came out yesterday.

al: The sales data is not bad. "

Seeing that Al said the sales were good, Ji Zhuo didn't want to look down anymore.

In the past two days, the popularity of "Kite" just released is still there, and Bert Publishing House is still working hard to promote "Shadow Empire".

Under such pressure, the single-day sales volume of "The Ordinary and the Great" is not bad, is that okay?
It's a pity, at this time, Aier's new news was sent again, and it was directly reflected in Ji Zhuo's sight.

"al: The single-day sales volume of "The Ordinary and the Great" yesterday was [-] copies.

al: According to the current trend, it may exceed [-] copies in a single day tomorrow, and the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" will exceed [-] copies in a single day before it is released for one month!
al: And this is only according to the current trend. Waiting for the reader base of "The Ordinary and the Great" to continue to increase, there will definitely be a time when it will completely start to explode.

Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and Uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Al has worked hard. "

[-] volumes, which is not much more than the previous day.

But this trend made Ji Zhuo numb enough.

"al: No hard work.

al: This is the result of the joint efforts of Mr. I and your readers. "

Al thinks now that the lovely readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" have put in a lot of effort for this work, and I am a little touched.

"al: In the final analysis, it is because of Mr. I's excellent works that you have so many loyal and lovely readers.

al: Some of them took the initiative to like and comment on news posts about "The Ordinary and the Great" to increase popularity,

al: Some recommend this work to their friends, and some contact people they can get in touch with who can help promote it.

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Looking at the message from Al, Ji Zhuo became even more numb.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Al... I think so. Readers are just readers. It is enough that they are willing to buy and read this work. It is the greatest support for the work. They should not be asked to do these things...

al: ah? Mr. I is right.However, Ayer Press did not require these readers to do these things, these are things that readers do on their own initiative.And isn't it a matter of course to recommend your favorite works to other friends?

Clumsy: I mean... we shouldn't be advocating this kind of thing, after all, it's not the reader's obligation.

Al: I understand! Mr. I.Ayer Publishing House paid attention to this matter. "

At first Al was a little confused about what Mr. I meant,
Doesn't Mr. I like his works to be read by more people?
This is obviously impossible.

It wasn't until Mr. I said that it was not the reader's obligation not to advocate this kind of thing, that Al didn't realize it.

Pursuing the achievement of the work is a matter for the author and the publisher.

Readers are willing to work tirelessly and tirelessly to promote this work only because they like this work.

This is one thing that Ayr Press should be grateful for, but it should not be taken for granted.

This is not the reader's obligation.

Therefore, Ayer Press must have the proper attitude, such as thanking these readers, such as telling these readers in the name of the author that they don't have to work so hard.

Because this is not the obligation of the readers, it is just the readers' preference.

As for whether the readers will listen to it or not... then it is none of the business of Ayer Press, at least Ayer Press must have this attitude.

Al thinks he understands it all!
"Clumsy and uncommon: Hmm..."

Ji Zhuo didn't expect his words to have any effect, he just hoped that as much as possible, the sales growth would be slower.

The actions of the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" now brought back not-so-good memories for Ji Zhuo, which made Ji Zhuo feel very special.

"Al: Thank you, Mr. I, for your guidance, otherwise Al Publishing House has not realized the hidden dangers."

Al excitedly returned the message to Mr. I.

Seeing Al's exciting news, Ji Zhu quickly got even worse.

Fortunately, he didn't have high hopes.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Hmm..."

After chatting with Al, Ji Zhuo had already arrived home.

Pushing open the living room door and entering the room, there are piles of "Empire of Shadows" waiting for him to sign.

Ji Zhuo fell silent again.

Gan!
……

On the other side, Ayer Press.

Al finished his communication with Mr. I, and he was still excited and excited.

He called his wife and assistant, Penny, and the two of them started posting related announcements on their official accounts in the names of Ayer Publishing House and Mr. I.

"The single-day sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" was close to [-] yesterday, and I would like to thank all the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" for their efforts.

Ayer Publishing House and Mr. I know that it is not the reader's obligation to pay, recommend, and promote this work, but all loyal readers still do so.

After Mr. I found out, I was very moved and thanked you all...Mr. I said: This is not the reader's obligation, we don't advocate this kind of thing, it should have been our responsibility..."

After this announcement was issued,
Soon, there were many more messages below.

Al then clicked into Mr. I's reader group and glanced at the chat history at the moment,
Just know that this step is done right.

After this announcement was sent out, those readers in this group who tirelessly promoted "The Ordinary and the Great" spontaneously,

It's more like being beaten with chicken blood, screaming excitedly, wishing to rush out in the next second, and duel with others for "Ordinary and Great".

this announcement,

For those readers who have promoted and spontaneously recommended "The Ordinary and the Great",

I saw three things,

First, their voluntary publicity is effective. Didn't you see that the sales volume in a single day is almost breaking [-]?

Second, both Ayer Press and Mr. I know that there is such a group of readers who are working hard for "The Ordinary and the Great".

Third, Mr. I is very grateful and moved.

As for what Mr. I said or not to advocate, it is not the reader's obligation.

Hey, I'd love to, I'd love to give "The Ordinary and the Great" unsolicited publicity.

You author, can you control me, please leave a message and thank me when the time comes.

friends!I want to send ten more posts to "Ordinary and Great"!
