(Fourth update completed, please subscribe)

Zhang Siya's work efficiency has always been very high.

Zhao Qian asked her to help find someone to evaluate the copyright. She called the law firm that afternoon, and after only two days, the other party came to the door with the data.

In fact, copyright value evaluation is done by specialized evaluation agencies and companies, and law firms also have related businesses. Zhao Qian directly entrusted the law firm that he had worked with before with the idea that one thing is worse than one thing. responsible for.

"Hello Mr. Zhao, we meet again."

In the company's reception room, a lawyer surnamed Wu greeted Zhao Qian with a smile on his face. The law firm naturally welcomed a big client like Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello, Lawyer Wu, I'm going to trouble you again."

Li Wanqing and the others sat on the other side.

After the courtesies were completed, Attorney Wu began to get down to business: "Our firm has already made a value assessment of the various copyright values ​​of several works under your name. Here is the detailed form. You can take a look first."

After speaking, he handed over a document, which was about the copyright value evaluation of the four novels under Zhao Qian's name, and the corresponding prices were marked on the back. Some copyright prices that have been sold are lower than the selling prices at that time. understandable.

It's pretty good to be able to make such an accurate assessment in two and a half days.

When Zhao Qian looked down at the evaluation report, Attorney Wu kept watching his expression nervously to see if there was any change. Whenever Zhao Qian frowned slightly, Attorney Wu's heartbeat would suddenly speed up.

After reading it, Zhao Qian nodded and said, "It is indeed a good job, thank you, and we will settle the related expenses together later."

Lawyer Wu showed a smile on his face, and then said: "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your trust and support. Today we are mainly studying and discussing the simplified copyright of the book "Emperor", as well as the valuation of comic and animation copyrights. Our firm also A plan has been prepared.”

"First of all, the simplified copyright. Mr. Zhao, your request is to share the royalty rate, right? Then our suggestion is to strive for a 12-15% royalty rate, and then tentatively set the first printing volume to 20 copies."

"One million copies?"

Zhao Qian raised his brows: "Will it be too much? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you can't sell it and throw it in the warehouse for ashes?"

It was his first time to publish in simplified Chinese, so he didn't know the sales of physical books in China. It seemed that except for some chicken soup articles, there were no sales of novels, especially online novels.

Tang San is the best seller of Qihang physical books. The book "Tang Men" alone has set a record of total sales of over 2000 million.It is said that the total annual sales volume exceeds [-] million copies, but I don't know if it is true or not. Anyway, Zhao Qian never asked.

The works of Platinum God are not bad, and there are still tens of millions of sales, while the average author can sell more than [-] copies, which is already very good.

Now Attorney Wu is directly saying that the first print of 20 copies is a rhythm that is terrifying to death. Many authors may not be able to sell 10 copies by the end of the book.

Unexpectedly, Lawyer Wu just smiled, shook his head and said: "No, no, Mr. Zhao, don't worry at all. Your book is completely a phenomenon-level work. You underestimate its influence. According to our statistics According to the data, whether it is the Baidu search index or the number of clicks on the Internet, the book "Emperor Domination" is the first in the category of online novels this year, and even crushed many online bestsellers."

"And we took the time to do a simple market survey, distributed 1000 online questionnaires and 1000 offline questionnaires, and successfully recovered 1931 copies. We found that there are quite a lot of readers who are willing to buy your physical books, accounting for to 8.5%, of which mainly college and middle school students and office workers."

"So the number of the first print of 20 is not an exaggeration at all. It may even underestimate the market. After all, the number of online novel readers is increasing every year, and paying users are also increasing. This depends on the conditions of the publishing house. , we can bargain."

Zhao Qian tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger, thinking seriously about the profit brought by this number.If 20 copies can be printed for the first time, it will definitely be more cost-effective than a simple buyout.

Unit price 23 yuan * 20 copies * 12% royalty rate = 55.2 yuan
According to the word count of Emperor Ba, it is still possible to publish 40 copies, and then 2000 million will be obtained.

Fuck, it's not like I don't know, but I'm shocked!

Simplified publishing is actually so profitable?

Although it is because "Emperor Domination" has too many words, the works of other authors are at most 500 million words, 20 words in simplified Chinese, and 20 volumes are considered too much.But 20 volumes, if each volume can print [-] to [-] copies, it will be a considerable income.

This is just an ordinary Internet master author. Zhao Qian remembered that the best-selling author Yang Zhi made a lot of money by selling physical books.The "LONGZU" series he wrote had a first printing of 150 million copies, and it was sold out, so he continued to print more.Each of the subsequent volumes has a first print of more than 150 million copies.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the first printing of 20 copies is not a lot.What's more, these 20 volumes are to be distributed to 34 provincial-level administrative units, 333 prefecture-level administrative units, and 2862 county-level administrative units across the country, with an average of less than 70 copies per city.

It seems feasible.

Seeing Zhao Qian nodded slightly, Attorney Wu continued, "Do you know the book "The Age of Orange"?"

Zhao Qian's expression changed: "I've heard of it, but I haven't read it." This book is the work of the digital station, and it has been spread very well by some people.

Lawyer Wu smiled and said, "If I told you that the first print of this book was 15 copies, would you think it was an exaggeration?"

Zhao Qian finally felt relieved. Damn it, even the first printing of this book dared to have 15 copies. What's the point of getting 20 copies by yourself?

Dry!
"Understood, thank you, Lawyer Wu." Zhao Qian felt more and more that he was right in recruiting someone to evaluate the copyright value, at least he didn't lose money to his grandma's family.

Lawyer Wu smiled and nodded: "You're welcome, it's our duty to share the worries of customers. Then, regarding the copyright of comics and animations, I suggest that you can split them up and sell them. The physical booklets of comics will be published by the publishing house, and the electronic version will be serialized online. , and the animation is sold to Penguin Animation Company.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qian frowned again: "This is good, but what if they don't agree?" You can't just take advantage of yourself, so it's no wonder people are willing to cooperate with you.

Lawyer Wu smiled casually: "If you don't agree, just negotiate slowly. It will always be settled. At this time, the role of a lawyer is reflected. If necessary, we can help you."

Zhao Qian was noncommittal: "Then how much do you think manga and anime can sell?"

Lawyer Wu obviously did his homework before he came here, and he didn't even look through the materials: "20 copies can also be printed in physical booklets, and the electronic version needs to be discussed carefully with the publishing house. The copyright of animation is not less than 400 million. Believe me, this The IP copyright is definitely worth the price!"

Zhao Qian was shocked by what he said.

You know, even the full copyright of the manga and animation of "Urban Cultivation of Immortals" was only sold for 380 million.Right now, you want to sell 400 million yuan for just one animation copyright, isn't it a bit whimsical?

But what if it really sells?

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, I'll trouble Lawyer Wu."

Lawyer Wu's eyes lit up: "No trouble, Mr. Zhao just wait for my good news!"

Zhao Qian turned to Zhang Siya and said, "Manager Zhang, I would like to trouble you to talk to Lawyer Wu about the relevant cooperation fees. I'll go to the bathroom first."

Professional things are left to professional people.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao!" Zhang Siya took the information he handed over and started to enter the business negotiation mode.
