I am a writer

Chapter 52 Shocked the editorial department 【Please recommend and collect】

Monday mornings are always about panic.

Whether students or office workers, this is the day they hate the most.

Xu Qiang never opens his work mailbox and TT during off-duty hours. Even if something big happens, he has to wait until he goes to work to solve it.

The bus and subway in the morning were too crowded and I couldn't get on it, so I was only two or three minutes late when I checked in.

"Qiangzi, we have a meeting in half an hour."

"Okay, let me turn on the computer first."

A lot of things can be done in half an hour. Xu Qiang turned on the computer, and a large number of message reminders and the author's friend reminders, email receipt notifications, etc. immediately popped up on TT.

A lot of things accumulated in one weekend, these can only be viewed one by one.

Some authors can't continue writing novels and want to finish them, some authors want to release a new book, some are asking for recommendations, and some are hesitant about whether to write a certain plot.

Editing is not a one-to-one service. Hundreds or thousands of authors will always come to you on weekends, especially part-time authors.

Xu Qiang has a very good personality, he is not in a hurry or impatient, he replies and solves them one by one.

When he saw the message from Qin Chuan, he was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help uttering a dirty word: "Damn it, are you selling the copyright?"

On the monitor was written: "Mao Da, Lie Yan Pictures has taken a fancy to my book, and wants to buy the film adaptation rights to use in the movie "Er Lang Shen". Can the lawyer from Longteng's copyright department introduce me?"

When Xu Qiang signed "Life Grows, Hates Water, Changdong", it was completely a novelty.

Nowadays, most of the online articles are of the steady type. Readers are pursuing innovation and want to see the type that wins by surprise.

As a result, the novel became very popular as expected, and the Qianlong forum, author group, reader group, and book review area were all discussing and recommending it.

It even formed a "good atmosphere" to cheat readers and friends.

In the end, a big star was pitted in, and he was taken out of the circle directly!
Mo Hongguang, a colleague seated next to him, asked curiously, "Which book sold the copyright?"

"I hate water forever in life!"

"I remember this book hasn't been released yet, right? It's so cruel, yet a company bought it, and the taste is very unique." Another colleague, Du Zhishang, held a teacup and sighed, "Which company is so discerning? Don't let the leather bag company give you a newcomer." I cheated, sold the copyright very cheaply, and regretted it later.”

Xu Qiang's heart trembled, he was really worried that Qin Chuan would be cheated!
"He said it was Lie Yan Films, who bought the rights to make a movie about Erlang God Yang Jian."

"That's terrible! It must be a liar."

"That's right. Didn't Lieyan Pictures start filming a long time ago? I remember seeing the news at the beginning of the year that the Erlang Shen movie was about to be released."

"Life is so cruel, if it is made into a movie, maybe a movie theater will be full of weeping, and the audience will probably tear the film producer apart."

"Quickly ask Qin Chuan if he has signed the contract, don't be deceived!"

Colleagues are chattering.

Even if it wasn't Qin Chuan's editor, he didn't want any author to be deceived at this time.

Xu Qiang quickly typed: "Are you sure you are from Lie Yan Films? Do not sign the contract. I will contact the legal department immediately and ask a professional lawyer for help."

At this time, Qin Chuan and a group of students were standing in the awning next to the tennis court to take shelter from the rain.

The weather was gloomy just now, and it turned into violent wind and showers in a blink of an eye.

A few small canopies can only cover the top of the head, and the strong wind blows the rain directly in. Only the few people in the innermost part are not wet.

When Qin Chuan heard the notification from the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, he turned his back to the rain outside, unlocked the phone himself, and typed in response: "I went to talk to them in the Lie Yan Films building, and I also searched for the producer's name. Identity. They don’t need the whole novel of “Man Grows, Hates Water, and Changdong”, they just choose a few tens of thousands of words from it for adaptation. I’ll send you the draft contract. The 800 million will definitely change , My asking price is at least tens of millions, and 1200 or 1300 is of course better."

Xu Qiang felt that it was best for Long Teng to send an official letter to Lie Yan Films to ask if there was such a thing. Then he saw the first version of the contract that was filmed, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

The novel is only over [-] words long, and it will be released in a few days. Lie Flame Pictures is willing to spend so much money to buy only the right to adapt the film, and not want any other copyrights.

How urgent is it?

But Xu Qiang thought about it again, the copyright fee of 1000 million is really a drop in the bucket compared with the tens of billions of box office in the world. If the rest of the income is added, a movie of the Mythology Movie Universe will have to make a lot of money!
The conditions were so good that even Xu Qiang was excited when he saw it.

Although the income of the great gods is very good, but the film copyright dealers are very shrewd and basically don't pay high prices.

High prices are generally game copyrights, TV drama copyrights, and animation copyrights.

The main reason is that the Huaguo film market is under great pressure of competition, and the online article is too long. After the adaptation, it offends both the book fans and the audience, which is not pleasing to both sides.

If it is made into a TV series, it can better show the world view of the novel.

Xu Qiang had to admire Qin Chuan for doing such a big thing without saying a word!

A newcomer is actually related to the famous mythological movie universe.With promotional materials flying all over the sky, as long as a little bit of media writes more, "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" will be a big hit!
"Qiangzi, what are you smirking at?"

"Really Lie Yan?"

"Go and verify it quickly!"

"Let me see, let me see."

"Two days ago, Yang Jian's actors were still promoting this book in disguise on Weibo. Is he acting to market, or did he really discover this book at that time?"

"A book has been adapted into at least three movies, which is a great deal!"

"What a guy! There are 800 million copyright fees, and you have to sign the opening credits. Could Qin Chuan be the son of Lie Yan Films? The treatment is so good!"

The group of editors were all joining in the fun, gathering together, craning their necks and looking ahead.

If it is a master, it is not surprising to sell the copyright.

It happened to be a newcomer, or a newcomer whose novels hadn't even been released yet!
Selling the film adaptation rights to Lie Yan Pictures will greatly increase the value of the remaining copyrights, and may set a new record!

No new author has ever made it onto the rich list of writers while writing his first novel.

Even 1000 million Chinese coins is not enough for Qin Chuan to be on the list, at least 2000 million is needed.

For him, this is nothing more than selling the copyright in another direction.

The staff at the legal department have received feedback from Xu Qiang and are working intensively to contact Lieyan Pictures. If the information is verified, a specialized lawyer will contact Qin Chuan.

Xu Qiang really didn't expect that he could sign such a baby with a guarantee of 50 thousand characters, it was really unexpected!

"What are you guys doing here, you haven't come to a meeting yet!"

Lin Huiming knocked on the desk partition, his tone a little low.

"Boss! I have good news for you. Lie Yan Pictures is going to buy the film adaptation rights of Qin Chuan's "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong"!"

Lin Huiming, who has always been mature and prudent, couldn't help but widen his eyes, turned his head and asked: "What? Lieyan Pictures? Is there always a hatred in the water?"

How did these two come together?
