032 Is it worth it?
Film and television copyright?
The first thought that came to Chen Fan's mind was that the editor would not be stolen, right?
Although his biggest dream as an online writer is that his works can be adapted into film and television works, he knows very well that with the achievements of that novel, no one can buy his copyright.
Soon, the editor sent another message, "With the results of your book, you can sell the copyright, which is similar to winning a lottery. Selling it means making a profit, don't hesitate."
Chen Fan immediately replied, "Sell, of course."
The editor replied, "Okay, now I'll reply to the copyright department."
Chen Fan felt it was not very real and asked, "How did I sell the copyright of this book?"
"In theory, those who can sell film and television copyrights are all hot books with very good grades and high popularity. Those with poor grades cannot be sold at all. It is also possible that the buyer thinks your book is suitable for adaptation, and you are lucky. The IP popularity this year is not so high, so the copyright department will agree to this quotation."
"Thanks."
Chen Fan didn't expect that he would have a day when he was hit by a pie.
Three hundred thousand, this is really a surprise. After tax deduction, there are more than 200,000. In this way, you will have the money to buy medicinal materials.
When he was in the dungeon world, Zhao Gang said that his strength had almost been fully maintained and he could start practicing internal energy.
He has mastered the method of breathing and breathing, and he also knows that he has the prescription for practicing, so he only has enough money to buy medicine.
Chen Fan checked online that the medicinal materials in the prescription are not particularly expensive, and there are two types of medicinal materials that cannot even be regarded as medicinal materials. However, if he needs to eat it for a long time, his savings will definitely not be enough.
He was having a headache and was trying to get some money, so he spent 300,000 yuan.
In fact, he was not sure whether he could cultivate internal energy in the real world, but he always had to try it.
It just happened to use this 300,000 yuan to try it. If it doesn't work, then forget it. If it can be really practiced, it would be worth it.
Of course, the money is not so quickly, and the process has to be followed.
…………
This time, the website was very efficient. Within a few days, a special editor asked Chen Fan to sign a transfer agreement for the film and television adaptation rights, print the signature, and send it with express delivery. He was already so familiar with this itinerary.
On the day the agreement was sent to the website, the editor contacted him again, "There is a question about the adaptation of the script. I need your opinion. I will give them your phone number and I will contact you soon."
Chen Fan was a little surprised. He thought that if the copyright was sold, he would be fine. Generally speaking, after the film and television company bought the copyright, it would hand it over to a special screenwriter. How to change it, as for the original author's opinion, who cares about you?
"no problem."
However, since the other party has proposed it and there are such clauses on the contract, Chen Fan has no objection.
That afternoon, a stranger called him, from Peng City next door, who was still a woman. He was not very old and claimed that his surname was Zhou. He was the person in charge of the company that bought his novels, film and television adaptation rights.
Chen Fan was still very polite when facing the financial owner.
After chatting on the phone for a while, Mr. Zhou asked him to meet him this weekend.
On Sunday, Chen Fan met Mr. Zhou in a cafe in the city. He was a fashionable working woman. She was also pretty and gave people a shrewd and capable feeling. Her aura was much better than the leaders in his company.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Manxin, this is my business card."
"My name is Chen Fan, and my pen name is as big as the world."
After the two sat down, Zhou Manxin said her intention directly, "I asked you to meet this time for the script. I want to hire you to write this script."
"ah?"
Chen Fan was surprised and said, "But, I have never written a script and I don't know how to write it."
Zhou Manxin said, "It doesn't matter, I will send a screenwriter from the company to assist you. She will be responsible for writing, and the plot will be yours."
"this……"
Chen Fan never expected that she would make such a request, and at the same time she was a little confused, "I'll take the liberty to ask why I asked me to write a script? I'm a completely a layman in this regard."
Zhou Manxin picked up the coffee, stirred it slowly, and said, "I bought your work because I was moved by the story inside. I wanted to shoot it. I spent another money to find a screenwriter to change the story beyond recognition. Then why am I still buying copyrights?"
"I think no one knows better than you, the original author, how to retain the essence of the original work. In recent years, there have been many works adapted online novels. Those who respect the original work often do well. As for the works of screenwriters who think they understand the original work better than the author, most of them have gone to a certain level. So, I choose to believe in you."
Chen Fan was a little excited by her words.
"You can think about it. This is a commission contract. But there is one thing, if you sign it, you have to quit your current job and concentrate on creating. You will give me a reply within three days." Zhou Manxin finished speaking and left.
Chen Fan sat alone in the cafe, opened the contract, and looked at it page by page.
The reward for this script is 100,000. He is a newcomer who doesn’t understand the screenwriter at all. There are many terms in it, which looks good.
"This is also Party B. If the financial owner is not satisfied, he has to keep changing."
Chen Fan thought about this, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
He had long since wanted to do this job. Especially after returning from the copy world, he had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to resign. When he learned that the copyright had been sold, he thought of it and waited for the money to arrive, and handed over the resignation letter.
Now, with such an opportunity again, he has nothing to hesitate about.
The most important thing is that after he came out to work, this was the first time he had gained the attention of others. When he heard others say that only you can do this well. His heart was really warm and he had an indescribable impulse. He must do this well.
…………
On the other hand, after Zhou Manxin left the cafe, she glanced at Chen Fan who was sitting inside and looking at the contract, showed a smile, picked up her phone, and dialed a number, "Xiaowan, the matter is done, why do you thank me?"
"Did you let me go in one meal?"
"That's about the same."
"What's your relationship with this author? Why do you care so much about him?"
"I think you are like this, it's not just that simple. You have to post a lot of favors and take risks yourself, is it worth it?"
"Forget it, I don't advise you either. You always have your own ideas."
"Don't worry, I've done my business. I haven't mentioned you."
"Okay, see you later."
