Zhuge Caijing: Teacher Zhang, I have good news for you!

Zhang Rilong: Has the copyright been sold?

Zhuge Caijing: You guessed it right!

Zhang Rilong: No need to guess, it’s just this matter. I’ve waited more than ten days and it feels like it’s almost done.

Zhuge Caijing discovered that this young man was a straight man.

It's easier to get along with them this way, but the ones who are too gloomy are too difficult to deal with. They can't shout out at all, and even typing to communicate is like gold.

Zhuge Caijing: Then I will send the file directly, because Teacher Zhang has given us full authority to handle copyright matters before, so this time the progress is very fast.

Zhang Rilong didn't talk nonsense and quickly read the document after the other party sent it.

Nothing else is of any use, the final aspect of income is the focus.

The other party gave three prices, and each price has different requirements.

The first is a one-time full settlement with an asking price of 284,514 yuan.

After you get the money, you don’t have to worry about anything. Except for writing the author’s name according to the minimum rules, you don’t need to worry about anything else, and you can’t control anything else.

The second type is one with follow-up cooperation, and the asking price is 710,317 yuan.

After requesting the purchase of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Rilong must provide follow-up services. For example, when the buyer needs to modify or polish the script, Zhang Rilong must modify the work as required.

Including but not limited to the gender, character, plot dialogue, background and other written content of the male and female protagonists.

The number of times specified in the contract is two. If you request modifications later, you must pay extra and have the right to refuse.

Zhang Rilong looked at the second article and saw that the price was more than double that of the first one. However, unless he was particularly short of money, no author with a slight fandom would take this job.

The third type is also adapted into a script, the asking price is: 410325, and you don’t need to modify it, but after selling it, the work has nothing to do with you anymore, and others can modify it how they want.

After looking at the three quotes, Zhang Rilong contacted Zhuge Caijing, and the two still communicated by typing on their mobile phones.

The technology of this era supports voice and video conversations, but text conversations are still the mainstream.

Zhang Rilong: I have read the contract and have a question.

Zhuge Caijing: It’s about three contracts. Most of our authors choose the first one, and the other two are just backup options. If it is a well-known author, there will be a better contract than this one.

Zhang Rilong: No, I was curious about how the single digits after each word number were calculated? I thought they were all rounded up.

Zhuge Caijing: This is the income that ends up in your account, because many authors don’t know how to pay taxes. After excluding our company’s commission and various related expenses, this is the money that ends up in your account, without a penny.

There will be less.

Zhang Rilong: Is it after-tax income?

Zhuge Caijing: It is more comprehensive than after-tax income, including some social welfare payments.

In this era, as long as you have a large amount of income, you have to pay taxes, and the taxes are more complicated than ordinary salary taxes.

If the tax is less than the threshold, there is no need to pay tax.

Zhang Rilong didn't know what his tax rate was. After looking at three more amounts of money, he made a decisive decision.

Zhang Rilong: I choose the second option because I really need money now.

Zhuge Caijing: Are you sure? If it is the second option, our cooperation with the film and television company will be more harmonious, but as far as I know many authors do not choose this option.

Zhang Rilong: Sure. Regarding this modification request, if I modify it accordingly after they make the request, and they don’t agree, what should I do next?

Zhuge Caijing: Don’t worry about this. Our company will come forward to solve the problem. Our company is an expert in the industry in terms of identifying whether it is plagiarism, hydrology, perfunctory, etc., and the evidence produced is more convincing than the groundless accusations made by film and television companies.

Zhang Rilong remembered that the main force of today's novel companies is still large-scale and well-controlled writing robots, but some unique human writers are equivalent to delicacies, and meals must be accompanied by side dishes.

If a writer is labeled as a mechanical writer, readers will soon be lost.

Imagination is the wealth of this era. Even though there are many beautiful and colorful pictures on the market that can be generated with one click, the mainstream people still like to see works created by humans, rather than fake pictures generated by machines with one click.

After discussing the sale of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Rilong asked about other things.

Zhang Rilong: No one wants ugly foxes?

Zhuge Caijing: This one won't fetch a high price. Your article "Ying Ning" is good. If you are willing to sell it together, I think it should be able to fetch a good price.

Zhang Rilong: Okay, "Strange Stories from Long Zhong" is almost done. I have no other ideas in my mind now and I need to take a break for the time being.

Zhuge Caijing: It will be finished in just over ten days... You are going too fast. Our company is preparing to promote you as a new author.

Zhang Rilong: I’ve run out of ink in my stomach, and now I can’t write any more stories even if I sit in front of the computer for several hours.

Zhuge Caijing: I need to calm down.

Zhang Rilong: Okay, then I'll go to the toilet.

I just ate half a watermelon and now I feel the urge to pee.

If she wants to calm down, just calm down. Anyway, there is nothing in my stomach.

Zhang Rilong went to the toilet to urinate. He had already finished copying Liaozhai, and there was no novel in his memory to copy. Now that he could sell a few short stories and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, there was no need to write novels.

Zhang Rilong thought Zhuge Caijing wanted to calm down for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party sent a mobile message before he finished urinating.

Zhuge Caijing: I have read your Zhao Yun diary. After you wrote Longzhong Zhiyi, I personally reviewed and followed it every time. I found that your writing style is very special and you are very good at writing in different styles.

Zhang Rilong: I just write whatever comes to mind, but I can’t think of it now. I want to take a break now.

Zhuge Caijing: So when are you going to release a new book? What genre do you plan to write in the new book? Is it a classic ghost or another genre? There is a shortage of novels with the concept of heroes on the market now.

Zhang Rilong: In a few years.

When Zhuge Caijing saw the words sent by the other party, she could feel the familiar perfunctory feeling even through the mobile phone and wireless network.

Zhuge Caijing: I will go to your home to find you and we will talk face to face.

Why arrange editors nearby? It’s for this kind of thing.

Zhang Rilong was nervous for a while. He had never done anything wrong, but he just didn't want such a boss at work to come to see him at home.

It's just like a primary school teacher asking for a home visit. Although I am a psychological adult now, I still don't want to do some things.

Even adults don't want leaders to go to their own homes.

Privacy!

"Why don't people in this era respect privacy at all?" Zhang Rilong muttered and quickly typed a reply.

Zhang Rilong: I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow and let’s talk about this matter again. It’s not that I don’t want to write, but I can’t write anymore.

He is not afraid of meeting people, eating and talking, but he just doesn't want others to come to his home.
