Chapter 169: Explore a business opportunity
The editor-in-charge contacted him very quickly. Before he could wait too long, the person in charge of copyright on the website called him:
"Hello, are you the author of Dead Block?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I am from the copyright department of the website. According to your editor in charge, do you intend to purchase the copyright of your own book?"
"Yes, I don't know how much I need to pay?"
"Are you going to buy the full copyright, or the single copyright?"
Xia Feng knows full copyright, which is a collection of various copyrights including publishing, video, and animation.
Speaking of which, there are a lot of copyrights for a book, and there are three types of copyrights just for publishing.
Simplified version, traditional Chinese version, and overseas version.
As for the copyright of audio and video, the most well-known ones are film adaptation rights, TV adaptation rights and so on.
But what most people don't know is that movies alone are divided into online movies, big movies, and TV dramas as well.
Even according to the plot, it can be divided into upper, middle and lower, or sold separately in other ways.
Therefore, the most profitable thing in the writing industry is never electronic income, but the sale of these copyrights.
"How much does it cost for full copyright?"
"We value your dead block at 8 million."
"800w?"
"Yes, and this estimate will grow as the book goes on."
After hearing this, Xia Feng suddenly had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to cry because he didn't have that much money to buy it now. You must know that it was not 80,000 or 800,000, but 8 million.
A little bit of it might be enough to buy a big villa.
As for wanting to laugh, he is naturally happy that his copyright is so valuable.
Speaking of which, he really did not expect that the current copyright can be sold so high, and this is the copyright of a newcomer of him, and he has not been fired again by an intermediary company. If it is higher, then it is nothing to sell tens of millions.
Xia Feng was suddenly curious, like Feng Liusha, the most popular author right now, how much can he sell the full copyright of a book.
"Then how much will it cost if I only need the adaptation of TV and movies, as well as the rights to adapt anime and audio?"
"Do you need both the internet and the big screen?"
"Yes."
"5000000."
"If I'm the author, will I get a discount if I buy back my own copyright?"
If you include this month's manuscript fee and the money in his hand, although it is less than 5 million, as long as he thinks of a way, he can still collect enough money.
"Maybe it's not clear that you are a new author, the best copyright sales are in film and television adaptation, publishing and games.
And this price is based on our internal meetings and the final evaluation. Whether the author wants to buy back the copyright, or someone else, the price will not change.
I hope you understand this. "
"Okay, then I'll buy it, but I need to wait until the 10th of this month. Then you will come to Yokohama with the contract.
How much deposit do I need to pay before this? "
"300,000 deposit."
"Can."
Xia Feng agreed very readily. If anyone knew that Xia Feng planned to spend 5 million to buy his own things, then everyone would think he was crazy.
But only Xia Feng knew that even though he was a little depressed, he would definitely not lose.
Because the value of the copyright of a book depends entirely on the accumulation of the author's reputation. The greater the author's reputation, the higher the value of the book.
And this is only his first book, however, his first book has already sold for 10 million full copyrights, so as his fame gets higher and higher, his second book, third book How much will it sell for?
At that time, when I look back and look at the 5 million he spent, is that still money?
Just like many people do not need to buy a house at the moment, but they still buy a house by selling iron.
Do you really think they want to buy a set and wait for the appreciation?
If you really think so, it is a big mistake. Although there is no denying that there are such people, most people think that it will not go up if they just buy it.
Xia Feng has this kind of mentality now. The copyright of his book will definitely continue to rise in the future. Instead of paying a high price to buy it at other times, it is better to take advantage of other companies now, because he is a newcomer when he hesitates.
If he gets it in his own hands, no matter how much it goes up in the future, unless he sells it, he doesn't need to worry about anything at all.
And just now, he had already thought about how to get the copyright of his book without having to pay for it himself.
The solution is obvious, ask Xia Hongyuan to pay the bill.
After all, what Xia Hongyuan is doing is this business, acquiring copyrights and making products is the main business.
Now that he knows that his book is guaranteed to make a profit, it is better to let his father take over directly.
Thinking of this, Xia Feng directly took out his mobile phone and called Xia Hongyuan. The first time Xia Hongyuan did not answer, he did not answer the phone until the third time:
"What's wrong?"
Xia Hongyuan's voice sounded a little tired, and it was still filled with all kinds of harsh noises.
"Where are you, Dad?"
"I'm at the company……"
"Has your phone been repaired? It's too noisy. I can't understand it on the phone. I'll go over now."
Xia Feng hung up the phone, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't think too much, so he put on his clothes and went downstairs directly.
He drove to his father's company, and Xia Feng came back after a while. The overall decoration of the company has indeed gone up to several grades. This point has changed from the aunt's army at the front desk to four wearing black silk short skirts with bumpy figures. It is not difficult to see Xia Hongyuan's determination to rectify the combination of tall and slender beauties.
After Xia Feng came in, he was about to rush in, but the four beauties stopped Xia Feng directly:
"Who are you looking for? You can't just enter the office."
"I'm Xia Hongyuan's son, can I get out of the way?"
After the four beauties heard it, they didn't ask any further questions, they nodded and let Xia Feng go in.
Not only has the outside reception hall been renovated, but even the inside has a cultural feel It turns out that the chairman's office hidden in the corner of the bird's **** has also been highlighted. The combination lock feels as if it has entered the Ministry of Defense, and it is extremely secret.
"This is what the company CEO's office looks like."
Xia Feng, just like the leader inspected, nodded with satisfaction after seeing it, and then he knocked on the door:
"Dad, are you in there?"
Hearing Xia Feng's voice, Xia Hongyuan quickly opened the door, and then a little surprise appeared on his haggard face:
"Why did you stinky brat come here all of a sudden?"
"Isn't this a long time since I haven't seen you and I miss you? When I called you before, there were all noises on your side, and I couldn't hear or speak clearly, so I thought I'd just come over and meet you in person. we have a deal."
After Xia Feng finished speaking subconsciously, he glanced at Xia Hongyuan carefully. Seeing that Xia Hongyuan looked tired, he couldn't help asking:
"Why do you look so bad? Is it okay?"
