Chapter 97 Lao Du's Recent Planning
Your after-tax remuneration income in March totaled 1,716,694.58 yuan.
Du Caige counted and counted, and finally determined that he could pay the 1.5 million on April 15 in time.
The mood suddenly became beautiful.
The reason why the actual income is much higher than his original estimate is because his update speed is fast, 20,000 words are updated every day, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed.
In March alone, he updated nearly 700,000 words.
So after deducting 20% of the income tax, he still has 1.7 million yuan. (This is not 1.7 million soft sister coins. Compared with the soft sister coins of the same period, the purchasing power of Dahua Yuan is much stronger, close to the US dollar.)
However, the number of words in "Zhu Xian" itself is not many. If it is updated at such a speed, it will have to be completed by the beginning of May.
So Du Caige has communicated with editor Zhong Yi and plans to start publishing a new book on April 15th.
Speaking of Zhongyi, he felt a bit of a headache.
He found that she had been talking a little strangely since I don't know when, as if she was... flirting with herself?
This is not a good sign.
The relationship in the workplace is actually simpler and more transparent.
Therefore, Du Caige hopes that the relationship between the editor and himself can be simpler and more stable.
Fortunately, he will change the channel in the next book, which means that he will change the editor in charge.
With his current status in the online literature world, it is not difficult to propose to change the editor now, and the editor-in-chief will agree.
It's just that he thought, after all, people have been helping him with all their hearts, and so far they haven't done anything bad for him.
Just because I was worried that the other party would be troubled by personal emotions in the future, which would be unfavorable to me, I fired them in advance. It seems a bit...excessive?
For a time, Du Caige didn't know what to do, so he could only take one step and look at it.
Anyway, you don't have to deal with her during the serialization of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
As for the future, if I write Xianxia novels again, I will talk about it later.
With the increasing number of subscriptions for "Zhu Xian" and the occasional rewards, Du Caige estimates that his income in April is likely to increase to 2 million.
Then there is the seamless connection of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so there is no need to rush to sell the copyright for the time being.
Zhong Yi mentioned to him that the price of the copyright of "Zhu Xian" is very low, which is not cost-effective.
Physical publishing only gives 6% of the royalties, and those who want to buy film and television copyrights only want to package it when it reaches 3 million.
Du Caige himself is very aware of the potential of the IP "Zhu Xian", and this price will never be shot. Now that the situation has eased, there is no rush to sell copyrights.
Especially film and television copyrights, if you really can't afford it, you can keep it for yourself to shoot later, isn't it delicious?
And now the identity of the original owner has become clear, and it is the notorious top musician "Lin Ke".
Du Caige himself remembers many classic songs, and finally he can reasonably be brought to the world.
After making Jiang Youxi popular and re-proving his strength, he can selectively cooperate with some famous singers to make quick money to pay off his debts, and he does not need to rely on cheap copyright sales to solve his urgent needs.
Du Caige thinks it is enough to talk about 10% of the royalties for physical publishing. After all, he is still a rookie author.
Of course, if the physical version of "Zhu Xian" also sells well, the next one will naturally cost more.
As for the copyright of film and television, Du Caige wants to sell it apart.
The copyright of the TV series is about 8-10 million sold.
Movie rights must have a box office share.
Of course, Du Caige knows that at present, this price is difficult to negotiate.
But it doesn't matter, it's okay to let it go first.
In a few years, when "Zhu Xian" is brewing to become a national-level IP,
When fans couldn't wait to see the story of "Zhu Xian" on the screen, the desire of thousands of fans gathered into an unstoppable trend.
At that time, profit-seeking capital was naturally willing to spend money.
Or simply, the film and television copyright will not be sold, and I will shoot it myself in the future.
It's just that Du Caige wanted to go back to the director's chair even though his hands were itchy.
However, after thinking rationally, he temporarily dismissed the idea.
At least for a short time, he will not go to the film.
On Earth, his most recent film is a $350 million sci-fi blockbuster.
The purchasing power of Azure Star Dahua Yuan is very strong.
The purchasing power of 350 million soft sister coins on the earth is only equivalent to 100 million yuan of the blue star.
So on this blue star, if you want to make a movie, you have to get hundreds of millions of investment first.
Going back and making a little fuss, it's meaningless.
Although when he just crossed over, he once thought of remaking "Crazy Stone" to earn the first pot of gold.
But this time, that time.
Now, his first pot of gold has been earned through online novels.
Du Caige's plan for the next few years is to continue writing novels to make money, consolidate his position in the field of online novels, and also enter the field of physical publishing.
Then, as "Lin Ke", he sold some songs and made money through a two-pronged approach.
After paying off the arrears and having a deposit of 100 to 200 million at the same time, I will invest in making movies by myself.
After straightening out the goal, Du Caige buried his head at the desk and continued to work hard to carry "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
...
"Sister Chen, the coffee you want." Juanzi hurried over and handed Duan Xiaochen a hot cup of Starbucks vanilla latte panting.
"Thank you." Duan Xiaochen kept walking and walked quickly across the corridor, talking with Ouyang Jin, followed by bodyguards and other staff.
After arriving in the underground parking lot and getting into the nanny car, the conversation between Duan Xiaochen and Ouyang Jin finally came to an end.
After resting for a while and taking a few sips of coffee quickly, Duan Xiaochen said, "How is the progress of the things I want you to inquire about?"
Ouyang Jin frowned, "You should concentrate on recording the show first, and when the show is over, we'll talk about it separately."
"That's good." Duan Xiaochen lowered the seat a little and raised his head to take a nap.
Despite having just drank coffee, she fell asleep quickly.
A hint of distress flashed in Juanzi's eyes, she gently opened her fingers and took away the coffee she had not finished drinking.
After a few hours of recording the variety show, Duan Xiaochen was so tired that he didn't even want to move his little finger.
But she still managed to cheer herself up, and after returning to the hotel to take a shower, she asked Ouyang Jin to meet in the lobby downstairs.
Although she has a good relationship with Ouyang Jin, and she is very aware of Ouyang Jin's sexual orientation, she will not cause scandals, but she still pays attention to avoid suspicion, and it is impossible to talk to him for a long time in the hotel room.
Because she now not only wants the media not to catch the pigtails, but also wants to reassure the fans, but also reassure Du Caige.
She just took a bath, her skin seems to be shattered, and her hair is still a little damp. That fresh and refined temperament has risen to the extreme, like a hibiscus out of water, which is amazing.
Those big eyes are hazy, pitiful and lovely like a deer; the body is like a mature peach, making people want to take a bite.
However, Ouyang Jin and her are already too familiar with her, and because of her special orientation, she has long turned a blind eye to her beauty.
Those eyes with peach blossoms only looked at Duan Xiaochen calmly, and then withdrew their gazes, like an old monk entering meditation, the ancient well is not wavered.
