The life of cheating female college students is so exciting
Chapter 389 Classic Crisis
The first round of Internet contract reform was changed from pure dissemination authorization to full copyright buyout, thus increasing the income of Internet article authors.
At that time, no one had any concept of licensing adaptations of films, audiobooks, comics, etc. They simply felt that it would be the best if they made more money.
The website was indeed acquired at a premium at the time, but with the development of the Internet and entertainment life, the value of various IPs has also increased.
After all kinds of authorizations were sold, the authors who signed a full copyright buyout did not get a penny. All the money went to the website. Naturally, the authors felt unbalanced.
Especially the more famous the more dissatisfied they are.
The success of Jiang Yue's two book adaptations this time has made many authors have strong opinions on buying out the full copyright.
In addition to this, other novel websites have now begun to implement guaranteed sharing contracts.
This kind of contract is relatively reasonable compared to the current market.
It is not a buyout contract, but is essentially a share-sharing contract.
The website provides the author with a minimum income guarantee. If the actual sales price is higher than the minimum income, the excess will be divided according to the agreement.
In this way, the author can create with peace of mind, and the website can freely operate and produce IP.
This contract is more flexible and reasonable.
Therefore, in addition to classic websites, this contract has gradually become mainstream on other web sites.
However, as a leader in the online literary world, classics are still in the form of full copyright buyout, which makes many authors, including the Golden Diamond Master, very dissatisfied.
The number of authors launching new books on classic websites this year has dropped off a cliff.
The reason why Classic has not updated the contract form is that on the one hand, film and television is the focus of future development, and Classic still wants to sign more good copyrights. On the other hand, Tencent's mergers and acquisitions can be more beneficial.
After the merger, Mr. Mi plans to reform the contract.
However, this idea of procrastination was taken advantage of.
At the time of the merger, there was a bloody storm in the Sky Forum. Many authors jointly boycotted Classics, demanding that Classics change the contract and protect the rights of the authors. There were as many as 18 gold and diamond masters among them.
Like other companies, classic literature has its many factions.
Although Mr. Mi has a strong voice, other shareholders also have corresponding connections.
These eighteen great gods have a relatively good relationship with these shareholders.
The most important thing is that changing to a share-sharing contract is very attractive to them.
Every book written by The Golden Diamond Master has a considerable audience, and the copyright fees earned by adapting it into a TV series will not be small.
Shareholders are quite aware of the money Jiang Yue made from his two books. After all, the contract Jiang Yue signed was there at the time.
Even if he doesn't earn as much as Jiang Yue, he can't run away with millions.
Which author doesn’t want to receive these millions?
Profit is the ultimate driving force, so it is no surprise that the eighteen golden diamond masters posted articles on the Sky Forum to fight against the classics.
Other websites also took the opportunity to contact these authors.
After getting the news, Mr. Mi was so angry that he dropped the mouse.
Now is the critical stage of the final round of negotiations with Tencent, and these people actually created such a big trick for him.
He called Ouyang Chang angrily: "Ouyang Chang, you have gone too far! Can't you see the success of this film and television adaptation? You are going to destroy the classic by doing this!"
Ouyang Chang ignored Mi Wenyu's anger, but said with a smile: "Old Mi, I just know how much benefit it can bring, that's why I did this. Look, this time two classic IPs have brought us At least more than 500 million in profits have been made, not counting the copyright for secondary broadcasts and the share of video broadcasts. If this continues, the profits will be less every year. These are just two IPs, and we still have many good ones in hand. Thousands of IPs. The results may not be as good as these two, but they are enough for us to expand. So why should we be acquired by Tencent? After the merger, our shares have become so small and we have lost the power to control. The gain outweighs the loss. ! If before the film and television, the profits of the classics were the same, then I would raise my hands in agreement with your decision, but now, I don’t agree, and I will not give away the fat I have obtained to others. "
Mi Wenyu took a deep breath, calmed down and said: "Ouyang, you think the entertainment industry is too simple, and you think making money is too simple. If this is really the case you said, we can eat and drink with thousands of IPs. I'm stupid if I make one movie and earn another. Don't I know how to make money? But that's not the case. We are now making money from Jiang Yue's two IPs. That's because of Jiang Yue's own attributes and a certain amount of luck. We spent all the profits from the previous few years to do this thing without hesitation, and we will only report back if it succeeds. Have you ever thought about what would happen if this thing failed? We would be finished!"
Of course Ouyang Chang knew that it was up to them, the shareholders, to vote on whether to turn it into a film or TV show, and Jiang Yue's fans came to him with money.
But not all book fans have this ability.
After that, if Classic takes the lead in filming, they will be responsible for most of the process, connections, and possibly even funds.
Mi Wenyu continued to say sincerely: "Why did I agree to Tencent's acquisition of us? Isn't it because the company can develop to a higher and further place? We have only made a few hundred million, and we are still a weak child. We simply cannot bear the burden of breaking into the entertainment industry. Joining Tencent is different. With huge funds and industrial chain, we will go more smoothly. Even if the shares are less, the annual dividends are only much higher than now. The corporate The development will get better and better, and the author's salary will also increase. After being promoted by Tencent in all aspects, it will become an unsurpassed existence in the industry."
Ouyang Chang fell silent.
But he still did not support mergers and acquisitions. He said slowly: "Let me think about it again." and hung up the phone.
Mi Wenyu sighed deeply.
The atmosphere online is getting more and more heated.
Classic is a recognized leader in the Internet literary circle, and her major events are major events in the Internet literary circle.
What's more, there are competitors such as Yueran who are fighting with Xini to keep the popularity going.
Fans are actively discussing under each post, and many of them are Qing Jiang Yue.
"Isn't Jiang Yue always fighting against injustice? Why did she sign this kind of contract?"
"Yes, the adaptations of Jiang Yue's "Endless World" and "The Chosen Worker" are so popular, they should be able to make a lot of money. According to this contract, doesn't she get nothing? Can she just forget it? "
"Yeah, I thought Jiang Yue must be among the eighteen golden diamond masters, but it turned out not to be the case."
