Entertainment: God-level nanny

Jinghua, Xiangyang Road.

Su Yiming bought He Miao a cup of hot milk tea from the hot drink shop nearby, while he sat on the bench by the roadside empty-handed and continued to answer the phone.

Listening to Jiudong asking for copyright and crying that they suffered losses in handling copyright...

Su Yiming couldn't help laughing.

The work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", regardless of whether it is published in audio or simplified or traditional Chinese, is much lower than the value created by other copyrights.

Otherwise, Su Yiming would not even authorize these two copyrights to Yuandian Chinese Network.

As for the website will suffer?

Is the website stupid? I just want to make more money!

"Okay, then I will come up with a plan. If you agree, just do what I say. If you don't agree, I will change the website."

Su Yiming thought for a while and decided to give the other party another chance:

"For audio copyrights, if you find someone to record and create, I won't let you suffer. I will divide the share according to the ratio of seven to three, seven to me and three to you!"

Judging from Jiudong's attitude just now, they will never pay the anchors who record the audio in the form of a share.

In this way, the price is calculated based on the number of words or chapters.

So even if this fee is paid in one lump sum, Origin can still make a lot of money!

"it is good."

Jiudong thought about it carefully and agreed: "I don't know about the publishing of simplified and traditional Chinese..."

Su Yiming answered: "Didn't you just say that if your website does it, all the risks will have to be borne by you? Then find a way with less risk!"

Jiudong's heart suddenly sank!

How to reduce risks when publishing paper books?

Have it?

Of course!

The copyright department of the website has at least three ways to avoid this risk.

But if you are not a professional, you will not know these methods at all?

It seems that this Su He is an insider at all, with a clear background!

"Dad Su, I don't know what you mean by reducing the risk?" Jiudong asked.

Su Yiming organized his language and continued:

"If the royalties after the publication of simplified and traditional Chinese are within 50 copies, the royalties will be calculated as 10% as you just said.

但50到200万册之间，12%；200万到400万之间，14%，如果销售额在600万册以上，就要按照16%来核算版税。

Of course, the distribution numbers of simplified and traditional Chinese are calculated separately. Can you accept this? "

Royalties do not refer to taxes.

It is a form of remuneration, which refers to a certain monetary share that the copyright owner receives for the use of his or her work by others.

The calculation method of publishing royalties is generally: book unit price x number of book prints or sales x royalty rate.

In Longxia Kingdom, the royalty rate is generally maintained between 8% and 16%.

The method proposed by Su Yiming is just like the tiered electricity bill. If the sales are low, the low royalty rate will be used, and if the sales are high, the high royalty rate will be used.

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, before Jiudong's voice rang again:

"Dad Su, can we accept the share of audio books? Isn't there any room for maneuver on the simplified and traditional publishing side?"

"No, this is my bottom line for acceptance." Su Yiming pondered for a moment and gave this answer.

"Dad Su, the editor-in-chief alone cannot make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the editor-in-chief for instructions. I will reply to you via WeChat shortly."

Jiudong was helpless.

In his heart, he no longer had any hope of winning the copyright for simplified and traditional Chinese publishing.

The other party's request is really too high, and there is a high probability that the website's senior management will not agree.

That’s why he said to reply via WeChat.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. Goodbye."

No matter what reply he used, Su Yiming didn't care.

It doesn’t matter who you choose to publish it with. In the worst case, you can contact the publishing house directly.

However, it is still early for "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" to be completed, so there is no need to rush to publish it.

I believe that after this book becomes a big hit, there will be plenty of publishers looking for him, so why hang yourself on a tree?

After hanging up the phone, he looked at He Miao beside him who was still happily drinking milk tea.

Su Yiming couldn't help but laugh, pinched his daughter's little red face and said, "Let's go, He Miao, let's find a place to eat fried noodles!"

……

Origin Chinese website, editorial department.

After Jiudong hung up the phone, he walked towards the editor-in-chief's office.

Boom boom boom!

After knocking on the door, Jiudong opened the door and walked in without waiting for him to come in.

"Mr. Qiu, how about overtime work?"

Jiudong laughed sarcastically when he saw the editor-in-chief Qiu Shu sitting at his desk in the office, flipping through documents.

"Ah."

Qiu Shu was not tall, a young man in his 30s. He didn't even raise his head, "What's the matter?"

Jiudong said: "Mr. Qiu, I have contacted Su He."

"Oh?"

Qiu Shu raised his head, with a round face, small eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses: "How is it? Have you negotiated the copyright for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

Qiu Shu is very optimistic about the work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

In particular, its copyright prospects have extraordinary potential, which is no worse than the peak works of the top masters on the website.

This is also the main reason why Qiu Shu asked Jiudong to discuss copyright with Su Yiming.

"I took it... but I didn't take it either." Jiudong nodded and shook his head.

Qiu Shu's face sank, he stared at Jiudong and said, "Whether I got it or not, hurry up!"

"Su He is very tight on copyright. He only agreed to authorize the audio adaptation and the copyright for simplified and traditional Chinese publishing to us."

Jiudong looked bitter and said, "And I can tell from his tone that he values ​​the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" very much.

I just mentioned that the guarantee contract included the right to dispose of other copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", but he interrupted me and refused without hesitation. "

"Is that so?"

Qiu Shu sighed and said: "The copyright department has a very high valuation for the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". It's no wonder that Su He is holding on to it. It seems that we don't have the opportunity to make a fortune!"

After hearing Qiu Shu's words, Jiudong's face became even more bitter.

If he can win all the copyrights of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", no matter which copyright makes money, he will have a share!

He is one of the beneficiaries!

But now, the relationship with him is gone!

"Forget it, it's not a bad idea to have these two copyrights."

Qiu Shu shook his head and asked: "What did he say about audio and simplified and traditional Chinese? How much does it cost?"

"Su He told me that the audio copyright..."

Jiudong and Qiu Shu repeated the sharing conditions proposed by Su Yiming, and finally said: "Mr. Qiu, I think this price is a bit high. Look..."

"Tall? Too tall!"

Before Jiudong could finish his words, Qiu Shu slapped the table and interrupted him:

"Which of the top experts on our website has a royalty rate for his works that is not fixed at 11%? Compared with them, this one is quite authentic. At least he has given us a tiered sharing model!"

Jiudong immediately shut up and asked tentatively: "Well, look..."

"Promise him."

Qiu Shu raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, and said, "Go to the legal department right away and ask them to draft a contract and do online notarization. This matter must be finalized quickly to prevent Su He from regretting it."

For the website, it seems that they are paying more royalties, but in fact they also have benefits.

The more works they sell, the more they make!

And the risk has become smaller, so why not agree?

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Jiudong replied and rushed to the copyright department without stopping.

what?

Is there no one in the copyright department on the weekend?

No one has to be brought back for them!

Originally, Jiudong felt that he had no chance to deal with the copyright issue of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp". But now things have changed, and if he doesn't hurry up and get it done, then the money will be lost, right?
