Let You Simulate A Crime, Not Let You Commit A Perfect Crime
Chapter 95: Adapting Mystery Novels, Betting Three Million Volumes
After director Xie Kui made the announcement, everyone was free to move.
But in addition to the eliminated contestants, other members of the crime solving team.
Most of them did not go to rest, but studied Chen Yi's case.
Chen Yi and Zhao Zimai were very leisurely, ready to go to the VIP area to eat something delicious, when the middle-aged woman who came to talk about cooperation yesterday, the manager of Shisheng Pictures, came over.
"Hello Mr. Chen, we meet again." The manager was smiling.
"Hello Manager Liu, please sit down." Chen Yi is also very enthusiastic, after all, yesterday's contract made him three million, and he was also satisfied with this first pot of gold.
"Mr. Chen, you have been busy for a day, you should be tired, I will not beat around the bush, let's just open the door." Yesterday our cooperation, very pleasant, today your three crime ideas, whether you are willing to also package and sell to our company, we will pay another three million. Manager Liu said.
Chen Yi shook his head: "The second case is okay, the first and third are not sold."
"Why not sell it, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can mention it, I will talk to the general manager 12 to see if I can add some more price on this basis." Manager Liu said.
Chen Yi said: "Let's talk about the second case, we had a very pleasant cooperation yesterday, I will simply sell it to you for one million."
Manager Liu knows the idea of the second case, and a million is worth it, but what the director and the top want more is the first cross sacrifice case and the third case of no life to survive, especially the third case, the director was excited and crazy at that time, and must win.
"Mr. Chen, wait a moment, I'll talk to the general manager." Manager Liu walked away, made a call, and after a while, came back and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think of this, three crimes packed for 10 million?" This price can be said to be a very, very premium.
The surrounding hotel staff, the simulated case staff, and some of the crime team were all stunned, a day's crime idea is worth 10 million?
However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Yi still shook his head: "Not for sale."
Manager Liu was a little anxious, she really gave sincerity; "Mr. Chen, we are really sincere about this price, the higher price, no film and television company is willing to give it."
"I know it's not that you are not sincere, it's just that the real value of these two cases is still unknown to everyone, in short, I won't sell it, so don't waste your efforts." Chen Yi said
"The Dedication of Suspect X" alone is worth tens of millions, not to mention "No Life Left", which is a terrifying existence that can sell more than 100 million copies alone, even if a book is sold for twenty yuan, it can create two billion sales, and its derivative film and television copyrights are immeasurable.
Manager Liu saw that Chen Yi's attitude had been decided, and 10 million was also the highest price that their company could come up with, so he did not continue to say anything and agreed to buy the second case for one million.
After signing the contract, Manager Liu left.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, a middle-aged man came over on her back foot, and he introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Chen, I am Pu Song, editor of Shuhua News Agency, I just heard that you don't sell two case ideas, I think the choice is too right, these two cases should be adapted into novels, and after a period of fermentation, they can play more value, earn novel publishing fees, and earn more film and television adaptation copyright fees."
"The hero sees the same thing, and I mean it." Chen Yi nodded approvingly and invited Qing Pusong to sit down.
Pu Song was overjoyed when he heard that Chen Yi also thought so, so that he could save a lot of tongue, and said: "Does Mr. Chen need to find a writer to help you adapt?"
"No need, I'll write it myself." Chen Yi shook his head and said, he is also a seven-hundred-point high-achieving student, and he still has the ability to write. I have seen those two works in my previous life, and I basically remember them.
What's more, with the blessing of the system, he is completely proficient in the design of these two modus operandi, and no one in this world knows the details of these two crimes better than him.
Write it yourself to show the essence.
Pu Song did not object, nodded in agreement: "I heard that Mr. Chen scored 700 points in the college entrance examination, and his writing ability must be no problem, not to mention that you are the designer and know these two cases best."
Pu Song's words are not complimentary, but serious, even if Chen Yi's writing is not comparable to a real writer, he can win by logical reasoning, the most important thing in this suspense reasoning is that the logic is meticulous, and it doesn't matter if the writing is slightly worse, as long as it is smooth, not to mention the writing and the like, you can change it later.
In fact, if you want to find a writer to adapt, Pu Song feels that it is difficult to find, especially in the last case, and feels that no matter which writer you find, you may miss this or that detail. A detail is omitted and the logic does not make sense, and no matter how good the writing is, it is useless.
"After Mr. Nachen finished writing, did he consider cooperating with our Shuhua News Agency, and the strength of our Shuhua News Agency, you should know, right?" Pu Song said.
"You can think about it, how to divide it?" Chen Yi asked.
"Ordinary newcomer writers, we do not provide a sharing contract, but Mr. Chen, you are an exception, your two reasoning has proven its strength, we give you a well-known writer's contract 8%, what do you think?" Of course, there is a premise, you write it out after it has been reviewed. Pu Song said.
To be honest, it is very affordable for a newcomer to give an 8% share, and the average newcomer author is not qualified to talk about a share at all, and directly buys out how much money a book gives you.
Even if you give a share, many of them are 4% to 5%, 8% belong to some famous writers, and 10% belong to very famous best-selling authors.
Pu Song probably also just heard that someone bid tens of millions to buy copyright, Chen Yi did not sell, if not to give some sincerity, maybe he will simply sell the copyright directly.
Chen Yi said: "This share cannot be said to be low, for a newcomer it is estimated that no matter how high you are not willing, I don't want to force people to be difficult, but I am not satisfied with this price, you see it is better than this, we can sign ladder royalties, if it is only less than 100,000 copies, I will take 8%, if it reaches 200,000 copies, 500,000 copies, 1 million copies, the score will gradually increase."
"It seems that Mr. Chen knows 350 lines very well and is very confident in his works." Pu Song nodded, no opinion. This tiered royalty [is actually the fairest.
Generally, authors use this kind of contract because they have confidence in themselves, and they feel that they can sell a lot, and naturally they can get a high share. Without confidence, prefer to lock in a medium share.
For publishing houses, it is also very good, do not have to take so much risk, sell less can earn a little, if you sell more, you will actually earn more if you share less.
Chen Yi understood the market, and Pu Song had no intention of pitting people.
So this tiered royalty, most of which was quickly agreed.
Finally, Chen Yi said: "If the sales exceed three million copies, can the share be increased to more than 14%?"
Pu Song's brows jumped wildly, how confident is this young man?
Since he knows so much, he should know that a book can sell 100,000 copies, even if it is a bestseller, millions of copies, that is extremely rare, three million copies, how dare he think?
"If you can really buy three million copies, we will give you the top share contract, the same share as the master who won the Nobel Literature Award, but this share is kept secret by you." Pu Song said.
This is not a matter for him, it can really sell so much, and it is still a big profit to continue to compress the publishing house, and in his opinion, this is just a castle in the air, impossible to achieve.
So this contract was settled.
Of course, I can't sign it for the time being, so I have to wait for Chen Yi to write it out first.
