What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

On the fan tipping list of "Full-time Master", apart from Gu Wan'er's Yimeng tipping, which is still at the top, which is as stable as Mount Tai, Gu Bei and Liu E are the hardcore local tyrants who have supported Li Chungang all the way from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" Outside of the readers, starting from No.13, it has been firmly occupied by the team names of these fans.

And there is also a competition with hidden murderous intentions.

For example, in the novel, the two clubs, Excellent Era and Tyranny, were originally rivals, and the two camps that extended to the fan base were also naturally hostile. Fans of both sides would often criticize their opponents because of some content in the novel.

"Team Excellent Era is full of idiots. Even Ye Qiu, the three-time Most Valuable Player of Glory, was able to let go. I'm afraid it's because I forgot to eat the idiots."

"Tyranny's second child!"

"The professional players in Team Excellent Era are really useless, they can only show off their power in the game."

"Tyranny's second child!"

"Club Excellent Era has screwed up this season. They found Sun Xiang to replace Ye Qiu and use Yiye Zhiqiu, and the result brought the team to relegation. I'm really happy to congratulate you."

"Tyranny's second child!"

"Excellent Era, can't you say something different?"

"Han Wenqing's second child!"

"..."

"Then you should still say that you will be the second child of Tyranny."

The entertainment circle has the fan culture of the entertainment circle, and the web literature circle also has a unique fan circle culture in the web literature circle. Unlike the entertainment circle, fans are stars, and the web literature circle is more often a special person in the fan book. Outstanding characters, and most of these characters are the protagonists of a certain novel. After all, the protagonist in each novel is often the one with the most roles and the most outstanding performance.

Not without exceptions, and this exception is "Fighting Knife in the Snow".

It is really that there are too many outstanding supporting roles in this novel, coupled with the excellent writing style, these supporting roles still leave a deep impression on the readers even if their appearances are not as good as the protagonist's.

"Old thief Chungang, you're almost over for a summer vacation, so let's not talk about updating more chapters to satisfy us readers who are waiting to be fed!"

"Save the child, Master Chungang."

"September 2021, 9 at 22:08, remember this moment, because this moment I saved two whole dollars from the sacred breakfast money, and I will use this hard-earned two dollars The middle half will be given to the best author in my mind, Zhichun Zhigang, and my favorite work "Full-time Master", and I will reward the sacred one dollar! I don't dare to expect anything else, if the master Chungang can make an addition, it will be fine. That's fine, you can come up with as many chapters as you like."

"Xiuer~ from upstairs, are you Xiuer?"

Chapter 401 Manga Online

"Drip-drip-"

Just at this time, the editor-in-chief of Maple Leaf Animation who was in charge of contacting the project last time sent a message through Koukou friends. Fortunately, Li Chungang had just processed all the messages left over from before, otherwise he would find the news after playing for a while After a while, it's really hard to read: "The manga "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is online, would Mr. Chun Gang want to read it?"

heard.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and his spirits lifted: "Come here a link!"

This good news is really like an appointment. One by one rushed to "announce the good news". Just before someone asked about copyright cooperation, they immediately said that the comic of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been completed and officially launched. You know, it has been quite a while since the full copyright of the anime and manga "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was sold. Before that, I specifically asked Li Chungang for advice on the first draft. Adjustment.

The other party immediately sent a website link, and Li Chungang clicked to open it without doubting him. The page that popped up was the comics serialized by "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on Maple Leaf Animation.

"Yoho~ First of all, from the first page of the book cover, the first impression is pretty good!"

Generally speaking, it is still very satisfactory. The style of painting is quite exquisite, and the adapted plots are all the highlights and thrilling places, which make readers' eyes shine. In today's domestic comics, Speaking of which, it is already considered a rare masterpiece.

Especially the screenwriter's arrangement of the whole plot and the control of the plot are quite tight, and the story can't stop after one episode.And it can be seen that the Maple Leaf Anime did "listen" to the two or three suggestions I put forward at the beginning. The characters such as the fat man who was not satisfied or not full before can clearly see that there are references to myself. The traces of human design in the novel, this alone can attract many new audiences.

(~￣▽￣)～

Maple Leaf Animation is full of sincerity this time, and directly uses the comic of the same name as "Ghost Blowing Lantern" as the main work of this issue of the website. All kinds of publicity methods that can be used on the Internet are all arranged.

Weibo and public accounts have almost become the most basic publicity channels. Those who are willing to spend money can also spend money to find software platforms such as "Daily Toutiao" and "Douyin" to help place advertisements. Of course, find these platforms to cooperate with them to plant advertisements. It is definitely unrealistic to enter the platform and simply promote a single comic. You can promote Maple Leaf Comics, a comic reading platform, and at the same time highlight "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is killing two birds with one stone!

The update of comics is not like novels, which need to be updated every day, and an update is calculated in units of thousands of words.Normally, the update frequency of manga and anime is the same, and no accidents are fixed at one chapter a week.

Li Chungang secretly nodded and praised the editor-in-chief in charge of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and at the same time replied to the other party: "If we can continue to maintain this level in the future, the popularity should not be too bad! I think this is very good, and I will give it later. Make a separate chapter for you in my book and promote it."

Although the cooperation with Maple Leaf Animation is a one-shot buyout and sale of copyright, but no matter what, it is a work derived from the copyright of my own work, just like the son born to my son, that is, the relationship between grandpa and grandson. How much will also affect the reputation of some personal brands.

I took a look at the "Work Related" column of my own works, from the bare ones at the beginning to now more and more chapters, most of them are all kinds of promotional chapters.

Seeing that my work has been adapted into a manga, and there is a chance to adapt it into an anime in the future, I am a little excited.

The editor-in-chief of Maple Leaf Animation was very ashamed after seeing Li Chungang's reply. This is already the main work of their company this season. After the painting is finished, it has been refined by the most experienced review team. It is such a high-quality work composed of various factors, but it is not bad in your mouth. How picky is this!

Bypassing this topic, I talked about another important thing: "I would like to ask Mr. Chungang, is the copyright of the animation and comics of your other works still in hand? It just needs to be updated step by step and completed every week. So our company is thinking about whether we can have more and closer cooperation with Mr. Chungang?"

"The copyrights of the anime and comics for the rest of the works are still in my hands."

On the other hand, the editor-in-chief's eyes lit up instantly after seeing this reply. Does this mean that it can be understood that there are still several excellent works waiting for their company to jointly develop, "I don't know when Teacher Chungang will If we’re free, we’d better pay a visit and thank you in person!”

It is said that the purpose of visiting is to thank him personally, but in fact Sima Zhaozhi’s heart is known to everyone, and it is not because he wants to get closer and talk to Li Chungang about the cooperation in the copyright of animation and comics for the remaining works.Of course, these things cannot be rushed. The project of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been in preparation for so long, and it is expensive. No matter what, it is good to have confidence in Li Chungang. Maple Leaf Animation must first see enough "results". able to move on to the next project.

You must know that they are not "one word", and they are responsible to many shareholders. Some small projects may not be important, but such important big projects need to be approved by the entire shareholder meeting.I received a lot of obstacles when I held a shareholder meeting to pass "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Now I haven't handed in a satisfactory "answer sheet" for this test paper, and said that I will start a new cooperation project...

"I'm going back to school in a few days, it may not be convenient. If we cooperate, I will send you the contact information of the general manager of my company. At present, the copyright of all my works is handed over to the company to operate."

"Row."

"Then I wish "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" a big hit!" Li Chungang replied with a smile.

Although the copyright has been sold, it has nothing to do with him whether it is a big hit or hit the street, but if the manga and anime can become popular, then it can also play a positive role in the original work, just like the original " After the broadcast of "Ghost Blowing Lantern Ⅰ Exquisite Ancient City" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern II Longling Miku" became popular, it drove subscription results that have not moved much for a while.

In fact, getting Li Chungang, the original author, willing to help promote the work has already achieved his purpose of finding it in the first place.As for the continued cooperation, you don't need to think about it to know that it is impossible for two people to talk easily through the network cable. As long as you can make a good impression, it is excellent.

Chapter 402 Workplace Knowledge

After finishing the chat with the editor-in-chief of the comics, Li Chungang kept his promise and added a new chapter on the works of several books——

"The manga of the same name as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is now officially launched on Maple Leaf Anime. Interested students can directly see it through the through train below."

"I would like to recommend to everyone that the manga of the same name adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is now officially launched on Maple Leaf Anime. The artist in charge is the well-known artist Mr. Hong He. I will use my integrity to ensure that the quality is absolutely guaranteed. One counts as one, you are welcome to come back and chop me anytime!"

If someone really thinks that comics are not good-looking, that's okay, after all, not everyone has the same taste, not to mention that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is originally a suspense niche category, and it is naturally not as good as fantasy fairy tales and cities in terms of audience.

As for the matter of actually coming to hack him, um~ unless someone can really climb over the network cable.

Once or twice is okay, after three or four times, the readers have already learned it well, knowing that the old thief Zhichun Zhigang will be inappropriate once in a while, and the work after finishing the book is left for him. The role of propaganda.

At the beginning, it was to promote their new book, which was closely related to the pursuit of readers, and they readily accepted it.

Afterwards, I began to push various novels of my peers. In view of some ulterior PY transactions between the great gods, and He Miao's special status as Li Chungang's girlfriend, I can accept it reluctantly.

After that, there are all kinds of publicity, such as film and television drama promotion, physical book promotion, etc... Now they can't stand it anymore.

ヽ（｀Д′）︵┻━┻┻━┻

Anyway, these old works that have been completed will not be updated again, so I can simply turn off the function of "Follow Work Updates". Anyway, I can continue to pay attention to the two new books that are in serial, and there must be no publicity. will fall.

—

After Lin Meng reorganized the company, in addition to a new look in his entire mental outlook, his work efficiency also increased exponentially, especially after those old employees were fired as if they had no sympathy, they were "scared" one by one Get full of energy.

Li Chungang asked her to conduct a market assessment of the remaining copyrights of her works, and she arranged staff in the Ministry of Culture to complete this work that afternoon.In fact, many law firms have related businesses in this area, but it's better not to borrow the hands of others if such things can be done by themselves.

"Manager Lin, we have completed the various copyright market value evaluation reports you asked us to conduct. This is the detailed report we issued. You can take a look at it first."

After finishing speaking, he handed over a document about the copyright market value assessment of the remaining four works under Li Chungang's current name except "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Each of them attached the market research report and results, as well as the final team's comprehensive evaluation after discussion The corresponding prices, and even the prices of some copyrights that have already been sold, are indicated in the report. Judging from the current market value, it is much higher than the selling price at that time. There is no way to do this, and it is understandable.

It took three days less than two and a half days to complete a market evaluation report to achieve such accuracy, which is not easy.

When Lin Meng looked down at the evaluation report, Qi Tong, who was sitting on the opposite side, was watching nervously for any changes in the subtle expressions on her face... When she saw the slight frown on her brow subconsciously, her little heart would speed up Jumping up nervously; after seeing the brows stretched out again, they will also breathe a sigh of relief.

There has never been a moment when Qi Tong felt that time passed so slowly and painfully!

……

After reading it, Lin Meng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good job! I am very satisfied with the contents of this evaluation report."

At this moment, Qi Tong's face was full of joy, and the nervousness disappeared in an instant, and he continued: "No, it's all the hard work of everyone in the team! After completing the market value evaluation report of the overall copyright, we The team also conducted a detailed evaluation of the audio-reading copyright of the two new books of Big Boss and the animation and comic copyright of "Full-time Master", and specially prepared relevant cooperation plans."

"The audio reading copyright is the first. According to what our team has learned, the cooperation model of royalty rate sharing is the most in line with the current interests. Therefore, our suggestion is to strive for a royalty rate of 12%-15%. Considering the audience of audio reading Limited, we can consider appropriately lowering the royalty rate and asking for a signing fee."

"12%-15%?"

Lin Meng raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure this ratio is really appropriate? You must know that the market for audio reading itself is relatively narrow and niche. In addition, I understand that the current revenue of audio reading is still low. Is it relatively lagging behind, will it be a bit of a loss to ask for this royalty rate under such circumstances?"

It is good to share the cooperation mode, but it does not mean that all cooperation must use this mode.

Just like audio reading copyright, assuming a 15% royalty rate, judging from the current audio reading income, if you want to catch up with the income from buying out copyright sales, this cycle will inevitably be very long, and it may even take one or two years. time of year.

You must know that "time" is the biggest unstable variable in this world, and you cannot predict what will happen in the future.Maybe because of changes in market tastes, let alone a year, half a year, many people no longer like novels like "Full-time Master" and "Sword Come". Will readers buy audiobook subscriptions?

Furthermore... If you choose to buy out and sell the copyright from the very beginning, after you get a lot of money to buy out the copyright, you can use this money to carry out some projects within a period of one or two years The investment, maybe the return is far higher than the sharing model.

Whether it is the former split model or the latter buyout model, each has its own risks to bear, and the risks to bear are not the same, and the rewards obtained are also unknown. How to choose depends entirely on Lin Meng, the head of the family. people.

After hearing Lin Meng's rhetorical question, Qi Tong fell into silent deep thought...

Being able to let Lin Meng feel at ease to entrust him with the responsibility of the project and the team under his leadership is naturally superior, at least in terms of thinking and experience. Then I realized the shortcomings.

"Manager Lin means..."

Guessing the mind of the boss is also a science in the workplace. It seems that Qi Tong has already realized the problem of his report, but he insists on pretending that he has not seen through it and asks Lin Meng for advice.

Chapter 403 Records Are Made To Be Broken

"Let's talk about your views on the copyright of anime and manga."

As a qualified leader, the most important thing is temperament, which must be grasped to death. Lin Meng knows the essentials. Facing Qi Tong's question with an inscrutable expression, he does not make any comments. Instead, he continues the topic raised by the other party just now. Ask questions.

Qi Tong slid his throat and subconsciously swallowed his saliva. In a very short time, he quickly went through the language he had thought up before answering: "With regard to the copyright of comics and animation, after our team's research on the market, it is recommended to Fortunately, it can be sold separately. Because we learned that the copyright of the animation and manga of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" was directly packaged and sold with Maple Leaf Animation, but this is not suitable for "Full-time Master"!"

"We can hand over the comic book to the comic publishing house to adapt the painting and then publish it physically. The electronic version can be serialized and subscribed online. As for the animation copyright, we can consider reaching a sharing cooperation with Emperor Penguin Animation Company."

Speaking of this, Lin Meng frowned slightly, and confessed her worries: "Your suggestion is good or bad, but it is all from the perspective of our company, but have you considered... The animation and manga copyrights of Wenquan’s works are almost all packaged or bought out for sale or divided into cooperation, and there has never been a precedent for splitting them up, so what if they don’t agree?”

This is a very realistic problem. Originally, animation companies only need to spend a share of money to obtain the copyrights of both animation and comics. After the success of the comics, they can take advantage of the trend and continue to produce animations to cater to the market. First of all, even if the price is a little high, it is not unacceptable.

Taking a step back, even if the comics suffer from Waterloo, maybe they still have a chance to make a comeback by making them into animations!

If the two copyrights of animation and manga are sold separately, it is not impossible, but it is inevitable that the price will be greatly discounted.You can't let yourself take all the benefits, so it's no wonder people are still willing to cooperate with you.

You must know that sometimes greed is the original sin!

The Internet literature circle is so big, and there are so many excellent works. Although people want to cooperate with you, it is far from the point where you have to.

Qi Tong obviously had a plan for Lin Meng's question in his mind, and he smiled confidently: "Cooperation is a negotiation, if you disagree, you can negotiate slowly, and you will always find a win-win situation that both parties can accept." On balance, the importance of the person in charge of the negotiation is reflected at this time. If Mr. Lin believes in me, he can also hand over the work of negotiating with the other party to our team!"

Jing Ke stabs the King of Qin, and sees him with a poor dagger.

Qi Tong led the entire team of small partners, after completing the established copyright market value assessment, they worked overtime and stayed up late to do market research and check various information about audio reading copyright and domestic animation and comic circle copyright cooperation. case etc...

The reason is not to be able to show enough excellence in front of Lin Meng and to win this extremely rare opportunity first!

Many chicken soup articles always like to advise people to be prepared at all times, and then you will have sufficient strength to grasp the moment when the opportunity comes. Qi Tong disagreed with this, and even sneered a little. Be prepared at that moment Why can't you take the initiative to attack?Why can't you take the initiative to fight for opportunities?

There are no negative words such as "passive" and "waiting" in his dictionary, and he doesn't understand these. He only knows that opportunities wait for no one, and he should take the initiative to fight for it if he wants it.

heard-

In Lin Meng's eyes, there is almost unbearable appreciation. There is no leader who does not like to see such proactive and outstanding employees as Qi Tong, but they can't be too aggressive so as not to make him proud and complacent, so the next second he elbows Supporting the tabletop, palms crossed to prop up his chin, he looked directly at the confident Qi Tong who was directly opposite him: "If I entrust you with the work of negotiating cooperation with the Emperor Penguin, as you said just now, if the animation and comic copyrights are separated , how much can you sell each of them?"

Qi Tong is not afraid to ask, but he is afraid that Lin Meng will not ask. Obviously, he did his homework before coming this time, and he didn't even read the information. In terms of the size of the physical publishing market, the royalties for the physical booklets of comics can be between 17% and 19%. For the first printing, we recommend around 60 to 80 copies. For electronic comics, further discussions with the publishing house are required... ..."

"As for the animation copyright, our team's market assessment value is in the range of 2400-2600 million. The cooperation method must be divided into our best interests, and the specific ratio of this share depends on the total investment that the other party intends to invest in the animation production project. gone."

"Mr. Lin, believe me, the IP copyright of "Full-time Master" is far more valuable than you imagined, and I have been chasing and updating this book myself. The novel is still in a period of rapid rise in value. , so we can be said to be invincible at the negotiating table!"

It has to be said that Qi Tong is quite good at eloquence, at least Lin Meng has been moved by his words.

You must know that if it is true as he said, if the animation copyright of "Full-time Master" is priced at 2400-2600 million yuan, there is no need to calculate the income from the comics, and it will already break the copyright of animation and comics in the current online literature circle. the most.

The previous record was Yao Yang's "Fights Break the Continent" sold 2200 million animation and comic copyrights.

It seems that the increase of 200 million is not too big, but you must know that Yaoyang sold the price by adding two copyrights together, and Qi Tong has already broken this record with a single animation copyright. If the copyright of comics is calculated based on the first issue of 60 volumes of physical comics...

At present, the unit price of manga booklets in the Guoman market is around 10-16 yuan, and an intermediate number is taken here.

Unit price 13 yuan * 60 copies * 17% royalty rate

According to the word count of more than 500 million in the finished book of "Full-time Master", it is easy to publish forty or fifty copies, so that is 5000 to [-] million.

Fuck, it's not like I don't know, but I'm shocked!
