The ancestors of the prehistoric people, join the chat group at the beginning

It's just that, these days, the real industry is almost dead.

Few publishers are willing to pay for the publishing rights of online novels.

For this, Pu Jie did not hold out any hope.

Closer to home, generally speaking, the copyright that requires the signature of the author is only the big copyright.

Major copyrights mainly include game adaptation rights, animation adaptation rights, and film and television adaptation rights.

Game adaptation, as the name suggests, is to adapt novels into games, which are divided into client games, mobile games, browser games and so on.

These copyright fees start at least one million, or even tens of millions.

The film and television adaptation, as the name suggests, is adapted into TV series, movies, online dramas, online movies and so on.

These are the big names in copyright, and they start with tens of millions, or even 5000 million.

This kind of large copyright requires the author's personal signature.

In the past, signing these copyright transfer contracts required the author to personally visit Shanghai, where Qidian is located.

It's just that, now that technology is advanced, there is no need for the author to travel, and it is the same to sign electronic agreements on the Internet.

Electronic agreements, like physical contracts, have legal effect and are protected by copyright law.

Therefore, the copyright worthy of Pu Jie's signature must be a big copyright.

I just don't know whether what the other party wants this time is the copyright of the game or the film and television.

""Zhen" belongs to the historical category. Logically speaking, it is of little value to adapt this kind of novel into a game!"

"It can't be adapted into a TV series either!"

"Then, it's most likely an anime, an online drama, or a major online movie!"

After thinking about it, Pu Jie roughly guessed something.

A historically classified novel does not mean that it cannot be adapted into a game.

It's just that, compared to those popular fairy tales and fantasy novels, historical novels have more limitations.

Therefore, there are very few novels of this type that sell game adaptation rights.

Then, excluding game adaptations, there are only animations, TV dramas, movies, online dramas, and big online movies left.

And "Zhen" belongs to the category of novels in which time travelers disturb the real history, how could it be adapted into a TV series?

Not to mention that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will not pass it, just say those film and television companies, they are not so stupid.

Blatantly tampering with history is not allowed.

Such a TV series is suspected of abusing minors.

Therefore, Pu Jie does not hold out hope for adapting it into a TV series.

Only anime, online dramas, and online movies are worth looking forward to.

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's think about the new book!"

After pondering for a while, Pu Jie didn't come up with any ideas, and started thinking about the new book instead.

With this information from the editor, he has strengthened his confidence in staying at Qidian.

Being able to sell the copyright shows that his copyright has great development value.

That being the case, if you go to the outer station, the loss outweighs the gain.

"The history in the first book is about the end of the Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect to get a good score of [-] average orders at the end. It was far beyond my expectations!"

"The task requires that the number of words in the new book should not be less than 300 million words, and an order of [-] words will be ordered when the book is finished!"

"With the foundation laid by the previous book, as long as it's not too badly written, it's not difficult to order five thousand evenly!"

Although, there is no shortage of precedents in the online literature world where the previous book exploded and a new book rushed to grandma's house.

But Pu Jie is extremely confident, no matter how bad the results of the new book are, five thousand orders is nothing but a trivial matter.

All this is because since he stepped into the extraordinary, his thinking ability and physical fitness have been greatly improved.

Not to mention, after the completion of the second phase of the task, he obtained the method of "Faith Becomes God", condensed the power of the gods, and further strengthened his strength.

Now he can write words at a faster speed, at least [-] words per hour.

Not only that, but the thinking ability has also been further improved.

It has also improved a lot in terms of plot control, character shaping, anticipation creation, plot rhythm, pulling readers' emotions, plot foreshadowing, etc.

In layman's terms, it seems that if the same piece of text is written by an ordinary author, it may be written dryly and without nutrition, so that readers will forget it in a blink of an eye after reading it.

And if it is written by great gods, it will be written with twists and turns, vividly, coherently, flowingly, unpretentiously, and brilliantly written.

After reading it, readers will not forget it for three days, and there is still a lingering sound.

There is even a sense of anticipation, looking forward to the follow-up story.

This ability is what is commonly referred to as writing.

Every great author must have his own merits.

Some masters are good at the rhythm of the plot, such as the red-haired monster.

Some great gods are good at layout, which is hard to put down.

There are also some masters whose writing style looks very white, but it is very comfortable to read, and people can immerse themselves in it unconsciously.

But now, Pu Jie's various abilities have been qualitatively improved, although they are not as good as those famous masters.

But he has no shortcomings, and his abilities are average.

Adding all the items together, even if it is not as good as the great gods, it is not too much.

That's why the results of the previous "Zhen" were so popular, and even reached the peak of [-] subscriptions in one fell swoop.

Today, various abilities have improved a bit compared to before.

Therefore, Pu Jie is very confident that the performance of the new book will not be worse than that of the previous one.

"So, which category should the new book write in?"

Opening the official website of Kaidian Chinese, looking at the fifteen categories, Pu Jie fell into difficulty in choosing.

"Jingle Bell..."

At this time, the mobile phone rang. Pu Jie came back to his senses and took it out to see that it was a landline phone from Shanghai.

"Hello, are you Mr. Pu Jiepu, the author of Qidian, whose real name is Pu Jie, ID number 36xxxxxxxxxxxx, and mobile phone number 138xxxxx?"

He picked it up casually, and a female voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.

"Yes, it's me!"

Putting himself together, Pu Jie replied.

With the editor's advance greeting, he certainly wouldn't think it was a scam call.

Otherwise, you may not even answer the call, and just hang up.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Chen from the copyright department of Qidian Company, and I'm responsible for communicating with you about copyright transfer!"

The female voice introduced herself and explained the purpose of her visit.

Pu Jie changed into a comfortable sitting position and said, "Oh, hello, Ms. Chen, please tell me if you have anything to say!"

"That's it. I don't know if your responsible editor has told you that we need your authorization regarding the copyright transfer of the novel "Zhen" under your name!"

Xiao Chen went on to say: "XX company wants to purchase the animation copyright of "Zhen" for a period of ten years. After discussion with our colleagues in the copyright department, the price is 200 million. Do you agree with this price?"

"Ten years? 200 million? A one-time buyout? No follow-up dividends?"

Hearing this, Pu Jie frowned and asked.

He has heard from the bigwigs that all big copyrights are a model of guaranteed bottom and bonus.

For example, the other party pays a part of the guarantee first, and then distributes dividends based on the performance of animation, online dramas, and major online movies.

The proportion assigned to the author is generally around 5% to 10%.

Usually, this method is more beneficial to the author than the one-time buyout method.

It is for this reason that Pu Jie asked this question.

"Sorry, Mr. Pu! Our colleagues in the copyright department argued hard with the other party, but the other party was determined not to give in. In the end, we only negotiated a buyout price of 200 million!"

The female voice replied apologetically: "Mr. Pu, if you have no objection to the price, I will send a short message to your writer's assistant backstage later, and you can sign and agree!"

"Okay, I agree, you send the authorization contract!"

Hearing the other party's voice, Pu Jie thought about it, and finally agreed.

It's still the same sentence, once you get it, it's yours.

The same goes for copyright.

Even if Pu Jie attaches great importance to the copyright of his novel, what's the use if he can't sell it or can't find a suitable buyer?

No matter how good the copyright is, it cannot be exchanged for a dime.

The other party offered 200 million yuan, and Pu Jie got 600 million yuan, and after deducting 14% tax, he got 516 million yuan.

More than 500 million, which is already more than all the subscription fees he received when he serialized.

That being the case, what else is he dissatisfied with?

"Okay, thank you Mr. Pu for understanding, then I won't bother Mr. Pu, bye!"

The female voice breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said cheerfully.

"Bye-Bye!"

Pu Jie replied and hung up the phone.

At this moment, he has no mind to think about the new book.

After hanging up the phone, I opened the Writer's Assistant app and refreshed it. Sure enough, a new notification came from the background.

Click to enter the details.

[Dear writer, hello. 】

[The work you created: "Zhen" has been reviewed by our professional team and has reached the signing standard of the "China Literature Group Works In-depth Cooperation Authorization Agreement".In order to further enhance the influence of excellent works and make them generate higher value, in order to provide you with better returns, in line with the principle of voluntary cooperation and win-win cooperation, we are very honored to invite you to discuss more in-depth copyright value-added development matters.Click for details! 】

At the end of the information, is a link.

Pu Jie clicked on the link, the screen jumped, and a contract appeared.

He quickly glanced at it, and there was no difference between the above content and the previous phone call.

However, more detailed authorization content, as well as normative requirements for both parties, etc. have been added.

Pu Jie thought for a while, but was not in a hurry to sign.

He took out his mobile phone, searched the website first, and then dialed a number.

"Hi, hello! Are you xx law firm? I have something I want to consult!"

Afterwards, after some operations, Pu Jie got the result at the price of one thousand oceans.

After being appraised by a professional lawyer, the other party told him that this contract has no language traps and is a formal authorization contract.

Only in this way did Pu Jie feel relieved.

It's not that he was too cautious, it's because there are lessons learned in this kind of thing, so he has to guard against it.

After three years in the Internet literary circle, although the previous ones were not doing very well, Pu Jie still heard about the turmoil in the Internet literary circle.

It is rumored that many masters signed the authorization contract, that is, when they sold the copyright, they did not pay attention to check the content of the contract, and were cheated out of their money.

Although the current law is more perfect than that of the past, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand or just in case.

Be careful, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Phew, perfect!"

Since the professional lawyer said there was no problem, Pu Jie of course did not hesitate any longer and signed his name on the contract.

After clicking Send Contract, he let out a sigh of relief.

Now, the animation adaptation authorization contract has been signed, and the money will be automatically credited to the account next month.
