Chapter 546 The Tangle Of Tian Tianba Sing
After the video conference ended, Wu Wenhui and Lin Tingfeng held a small meeting.
Lu Yi trusted them and gave them full responsibility for the XH Literature Society, giving them great support. They must also use actions to repay Lu Yi's trust and support.
There is a division of tasks internally.
For example, who will contact Shanghai International Studies University on behalf of the company and express their intention to cooperate.
Who is responsible for developing the translation comparison table?
etc.
Lu Yi has already set a goal for them in the video conference just now. Before 2009, there must be more than 50 serial works on international sites.
At this time, it's quite a rush.
But if you work harder, you can still finish it before the year is over.
At the small meeting, after the matters they were responsible for were determined, Wu Wenhui and Lin Tingfeng got busy.
Maodou is a veteran editor of the XH Literary Society. He currently has two great authors under his command, as well as a group of potential L4 and Lv5 authors.
Thinking of the news he just received from Wu Wenhui, Maodou was also happy for the great author under his command.
I opened WeChat, found a friend named [天天巴歌], and started chatting.
[Maodou: Ba Chang, are you there? 】
[Tian Tianba Sing: Boss, I’m here, what’s the matter?] 06
[Edamame: I have good news for you. 】
【Heavenly Sing.........What good news?】
[Maodou: I just got news from Boss Wu that your film and television rights to "Ghost Turns Out the Lights" have been spotted. 】
[Tian Tian Ba Sing: Really?]
[Edamame: Really. 】
[Tiantian Ba Sing: Which film and television company is it from? 】
[Edamame: Future Pictures. 】
[Tiantian Ba Sing:...Is this the Future Pictures that is currently making a lot of noise in the entertainment industry? 】
[Edamame: Yes. 】
[Maodou: You should know who is behind Future Pictures even if I don’t tell you. Future Pictures has just been established and has selected your novel for film and television adaptation [This is because they are really optimistic about your "Ghost Extinguishing". 】
[Maodou: Now, here are two copyright options for you. 】
[Maodou: 1. Future Pictures bought your film and television rights to the eight-part series "Ghost Turns Out" at a price of 5 million. 】
[Maodou: Second, after Future Pictures makes "Lights Out" into a film and television series, you can get a 0.5% share of the income (net profit share after deducting various costs and expenses). 1
[Maodou: Let me first tell you how the movie box office is divided. Later, you can also search online yourself.
1. First pay 5% of the total box office to the film industry development special fund, and 3.3% of related taxes and fees, and then the divisible box office (net box office = 91.7% * total box office)
2. In the divisible box office: theaters take 50%, theater lines take 7%, and the remaining 43% (producer + distributor), the distributor charges an approximate distribution agency fee of (10% * net box office), and the producer charges The actual box office revenue is net box office * 33% (total box office * 91.7% * 33%)]
[Maodou: If the final box office of your "Jingjue Ancient City" is 100 million, and Future Pictures is the producer and distributor, then the net box office income is 43 million. After excluding the production and distribution costs of 10 million, the net income is 33 million. 】
[Maodou: If you choose the second copyright plan, you will get a 0.5% share income, which is 3300*0.5%=165,000 film and television copyright income. 1
[Maodou: I believe you can also see that in the second option, your copyright income is basically linked to the box office performance. 】

Jinmen City.
within a certain community.
[Tian Tianba Sing], Zhang Muye, the author of "Ghost Turns Out the Lights", looked at the message sent by Maodou on WeChat and fell into deep thought.
Just now Maodou told him that his film and television rights for "Ghost Turns Out" were picked up, and he was very happy.
Because this means that his "Lights Out" will likely be put on the big screen.
Moreover, the film and television company that he is interested in is Future Pictures, which is about to be established.
Behind Future Pictures is Future Group!
And recently.
Overseas, Future Group has generously acquired the digital rights of over 10,000 movies, and spent 2.2 billion yuan to acquire Marvel, so there is no doubt about its financial strength.
He almost jumped with joy to be spotted by Future Pictures.
But now, the two plans proposed by Maodou made him don't know how to choose.
The first.
The eight-part "Lights Out" created by himself was directly sold to Future Pictures for a package price of 5 million.
5 million!
When he saw this price, his breathing was stagnant.
Future Group is indeed very wealthy!
Although he was ranked among the top 20 writers last year with a royalty of 2.8 million, receiving a one-time royalty of 5 million still made him feel like he was overwhelmed by happiness.
The price of 5 million is definitely very conscientious!
The Future Group did not bully a small author like him just because of his family's great business.
What really made him hesitate was the second plan mentioned by Maodou.
Receive 0.5% of net film and television revenue.
In other words, the higher the box office of a movie or TV series based on his work, the more money he will receive.
only.
Will the film be a big hit at the box office?
Mao Dou just gave an example. If the box office is 100 million, he can only get 165,000 in copyright income.
A box office of 100 million.
Last year, there were only three domestic films with a box office of over RMB 100 million!
The total box office of these three domestic movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan is only about 450 million yuan.
So far this year, among the 4 domestic films, the box office has exceeded 100 million yuan. Among them, the highest box office is "Red Cliff" (Part 1), which was released on July 10, with a box office of 310 million yuan, breaking the domestic film box office record.
Will a movie adapted from a novel he created beat the box office of "Red Cliff"?
Zhang Muye has little confidence.
But at the same time.
He was thinking again, what if the movie adapted from it becomes a big success?
How to choose? This is a dilemma!
Looking at the WeChat dialog box on the computer, Zhang Muye was very confused. He took out his cigarettes and smoked them one after another.
At this time.
[Edamame: Are you still there? 】
Seeing that he didn't reply, editor Maodou sent him another message.
[Tian Tian Ba Sing: Yes! Boss, I am very entangled and confused. I don’t know how to choose. 】
[Tian Tian Ba Sing: Boss, the second option is that if the box office results are not satisfactory, or even a loss in the end, "Does that mean I won't get a dime in copyright fees?"
[Maodou: Yes! If the final share of the box office is paid, after deducting costs, Future Pictures will have a negative net profit, and you will not get a penny. I believe you can understand this. 】
[Tian Tian Ba Sing: Boss, I’m very confused and don’t know what to choose! Can you give me some advice? 】
[Edamame: I really dare not give you any advice on this, because it is related to your own vital interests!]
[Tian Tian Ba Sing: ..... If only there was only one choice, I wouldn’t have to be so entangled at all! Now there are two options, the first one is directly 5 million, really, this price is too tempting, Future Group Really conscientious. The second plan has an element of gambling in it. If the adaptation does well at the box office, then I will get more money. If the adaptation does poorly at the box office, I won’t get a penny...]
[Edamame: I can’t give you any advice on this. I can only give you time to think about it and make your own decision. Think about it for yourself. You can talk to your family. Don't worry. Just tell me when you decide. 】
[Tian Tian Ba Chang: Okay, boss, I understand. 】.
