I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 53

"Clumsy and uncommon: Huh?"

It's not that Ji Zhuo looked down on his own books, so the books ordered by Siqianjun are about to sell the copyright?
Oh... now it seems that seven or eight thousand have been ordered.

After the last "Resuscitating Cthulhu" became popular, readers naturally went to read his previous works.

There are also some who originally clicked to read another book by the author, but ended up clicking on the author's homepage, and some who were more interested in reading another book went to another book.

But even if seven or eight thousand are ordered, the copyright will be sold,

It's not reasonable either.

After all, the subject matter he wrote is not suitable for film and television adaptation.

Logically speaking, the possibility of selling the film and television copyright of "Resurrecting Cthulhu" is greater than that of "Mortal Cultivation".

But I haven't heard any news that the copyright of "Resuscitating Cthulhu" is about to be sold.

On the contrary, it is "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", two companies want to buy, is this reasonable?
"Clumsy but uncommon: just buy the copyright of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals"? How much can the copyright of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" be sold for?"

"Editor: In fact, "Resuscitating Cthulhu" was also inquired by companies before, but the bid was too low and was rejected. There are fewer companies who want to buy "Resuscitating Cthulhu" in the future, and more people are asking about "Mortal Cultivation".

Edit: It may be that everyone knows that the copyright of "Resuscitating Cthulhu" has a relatively high value.

Clumsy and uncommon: Want to pick up the leak? "

Ji Zhuo understands, isn't it just that "Resuscitating Cthulhu" got good grades, and maybe the performance of this work is also starting to explode now,

I want to take a gamble to see if this author's influence can increase and bring the previous "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to a better result.

So buy the copyright of this book first, and make a fortune then?

This kind of thing is actually very common.

"EDIT: That's pretty much what it means.

Edit: Both are film and television production companies.One bid 100 million, and the other bid 120 million. They both wanted to buy the full copyright of the sound adaptation of film and television animation, except for publications in traditional and simplified Chinese. "

"Clumsy and uncommon: so tall?"

It's not that Ji Zhuo looks down on his own works, but that the copyright price for the current achievements of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is already very high.

In order to achieve a higher copyright price of millions or even tens of millions,
One is that its own achievements can bear it, and the other is that it has been baptized and disseminated for a long time, not to mention whether so many people have read it, at least it has a high popularity and reputation.

However, Ji Zhuo's "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" currently fails to achieve these two aspects.

The score itself is only [-] to [-] subscriptions, and the maximum subscription for a single chapter is less than [-]. With the addition of third parties and pirated copies, only those who know this book may be hundreds of thousands at present.

The second is that it has been less than a year since the book was finished.

The only advantage,

It's just that he, the author, has achieved good results in two consecutive books, and "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" still has a very good upward trend after the completion of the book.

"Editor: Don't underestimate yourself too much. After the book "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is finished, the growth trend of various data is still very fast. If this growth trend is maintained, it may not be long before they buy it at this price. Make a fortune.

Edit: In this regard, there are reasons for the results of your subsequent two books, as well as the good quality of this book itself.They just want to gamble on your future.

Clumsy and extraordinary: ah. "

Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by the editor, but didn't say anything else.

In fact, he doesn't need to worry about copyright sales.

Naturally, people from the legal affairs department of Shiyue Xiaoxiao will take care of it, and professional matters will be handled by professionals.

Anyway, Shiyue also gets a cut of the novels itself, and it is impossible for Shiyue.com to make less money for Shiyue.com.

However, just as Ji Zhuo was about to end this topic with the editor,

When I was about to start coding today, the editor sent another message.

"Editor: Actually, I told you about this in advance, and I wanted to ask for your opinion.

Edit: The bids of these two companies are close. If we negotiate, the final negotiated prices should be similar, so I want to consider your opinion as the original author and see which company to sell the copyright to. "

Ok?
Give me face like this, and still consider my opinion?
Ji Zhuo paused,
Haven't replied yet,
The messages from the editor have not stopped,

"Editor: One of the two companies is called Sunshine Media Film and Television Production, and the other is called Pioneer Media Film and Television. The first round offer of the former is 120 million, and the latter is 100 million.

Edit: The news from the legal department is that there is probably not much difference between the two companies' bids in the end.

Edit: The big difference between the two companies is that Sun Media's film and television production may just be an investment, buy the copyright and hold it in your hands, and then sell it after waiting for the appreciation. This company holds many similar copyrights. That's how it was handled.

Edit: Pioneer Media proposed to use "Mortal Cultivation" to set up an animation adaptation project, and will adapt "Mortal Cultivation" into an animation in the near future. This can be written into the agreement. "

When Ji Zhuo saw the news from the editor, he felt a little helpless.

What else is there to choose.

Ok?
Ji Zhuo thought about it and paused for a while, then poked his phone a few more times, and sent a message to the editor.

"Clumsy and uncommon: then I must choose Pioneer Media.

Clumsy and uncommon: But do they have any additional conditions?
Edit: Well, the opinion of the website also suggests choosing Pioneer Media.Even if the copyright price is a little lower, the successful copyright adaptation of the work can attract you many new readers, and it will also help you sell the copyright of other novels in the future.

EDIT: There are indeed strings attached.They wanted you to write the anime adaptation.

Clumsy and extraordinary:? ? ?

Clumsy and uncommon: I can't write scripts either? "

Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by the editor with question marks all over his head.

Yes, it is like a mountain, he has never been in touch with script writing before,
Although both are story writing, there is still a big difference.

Although it sounds like letting the original author continue to adapt the script, it can maintain the style and plot advantages of the original work,
At least you don’t have to worry about being freely created by a screenwriter who has never read a novel,
But only if the author can write the script.

Otherwise, it might be better to let the film and television director or animation director directly shoot the original work.

"EDIT: They say you can get someone to teach you.

Clumsy and Uncommon: I live pretty well where I live now...

EDIT: They say it can be done online...

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

hear this,
The first feeling in my mind is trouble,

I don't want to touch something that I haven't touched before.

As for the advantages of film and television adaptations, they are all worn out under this troublesome feeling.

The balance in his heart was tilting.

But at this time,
"Ding!"

The system that hadn't made a sound for a long time issued a reminder at this time.

Ji Zhuo subconsciously turned his gaze to glance at the prompt on the system interface,
Immediately afterwards, his eyes lit up.

The idea is to make a 180-degree turn.

"Clumsy and uncommon: OK. OK."

……

Headquarters Building of StartRead.com,

In the editorial department, pen and ink sit in front of the desk, facing the computer,

I was talking to Ji Zhuo about the copyright sale,
Looking at Ji Zhuo's hesitant appearance, he had already tapped the keyboard to throw out all the conditions given by Pioneer Media,

As a result, Ji Zhuo suddenly agreed,

This makes the pen and ink feel a little uncomfortable, as if something is stuck in the throat,
If it has already been typed in the input box, it is not good to send it out, and it will not work if it is not sent out.

After being awkward for a while, I changed it and sent it out.

"Editor: Hmm... In addition, they said that if you are willing to be a screenwriter, the copyright transaction can be carried out in another way. Invest your screenwriter's remuneration and the value of the copyright itself to participate in this animation adaptation project, and a certain percentage Enjoy a share of the entire project.

Edit: The website recommends that you get fixed copyright income and screenwriter remuneration.Although the share sounds good, the first share ratio is definitely not too high. Secondly, the income of the animation project itself is limited.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Well...then let's share it.

edit:……

Edit: OK, the website will try its best to help you get a higher sharing ratio. "

The editorial department, sitting in front of the computer,

The pen and ink rubbed the temples,

Nothing, just feeling a little tired.

Every time I chat with this author under my hand, I feel tired.

It feels like...every word is unexpected.

Then after thinking about it, it completely met the expectations of this author...that is, it was not expected at all.

"Clumsy and uncommon: The editor is busy, so I won't bother you."

And here,
Ji Zhuo glanced at the new changes on the system interface again,
I really didn't want to talk to the editor any more, so I closed the chat interface after leaving a word.

"Editor: OK...you code first."

What else can I say with pen and ink, I can only reply like this.

……

study.

The shaded branches and leaves in the community outside the window collided and rustled gently in the breeze.

Ji Zhuo sat in front of the desk, his phone had been temporarily thrown aside.

Facing the system interface in front of him, his face was slightly excited.

"Ding."

"Sub-professional trigger."

"Sub-profession: Screenwriter trigger, is it added to the sub-profession template?"

This is the system prompt triggered by Ji Zhuo when communicating with the editor before.
On the system interface, the sub-profession that has been silent for a long time finally has a movement!
"Confirm add."

After confirming the addition, the system panel has some changes,

Presenting the appearance Ji Zhuo sees now.

"Host: Ji Zhuo.

Main occupation: Writer.

Main occupation level: Level 2 (1/2)

Sub-occupation: Screenwriter (Level 1) (0/1)

Sub-profession: not yet open.

Occupational Attributes:
Writing style: 7
Plot: 7
Speed: 9
Inspiration: 7
Scripts: 3
Unassigned Free Attribute Points: 0
Requirements for this task: According to the current professional level of the main writer and the novels that the host has completed, the requirement is to create a novel with more than 3000 to 5000 or equivalent scores.The number of words in the completed book should not be less than 30 to 60 words.

Note: The specific requirements for the word count of the average order and the complete book are determined according to the type and subject matter of the new book published by the host.

Task rewards: inspiration +1, writing +1, plot +1, speed +1, free attribute points +4
If the host's new book is released and fails to achieve the relevant results, he will receive an incentive bonus every month to encourage the host to continue to grow on the road of creation.

Incentive bonuses are awarded based on writer rank.

The current incentive fund is: 100 million/month.

Sub-occupation: Writer's current task requirements: According to the current occupational level, the requirement is to create or adapt a script for film, television and animation.The total number of viewers of the film or animation corresponding to the script exceeds 20 to 100 million within a certain period of time.For the film and television project corresponding to the script, the total duration of the film shall not be less than 60 to 90 minutes, the total number of TV dramas shall not be less than 12 episodes, and the total duration of animation shall not be less than 8 to 12 episodes.The praise must not be less than 80.00%.

Note: A certain period of time is when the movie is released in theaters and before the premiere of the TV series is completed.The animation is within one week after the end of the update. (The online release of movies and TV shows is the same as animation.)
Note: The specific requirements for the total number of viewers and the length of the script are determined according to the subject matter and type of the host's new script. (The calculation of the number of viewers requires the audience to watch 80.00% of the content of the corresponding film and television. Viewers who have not watched more than 80.00% of the content are not included in the count.)
Task reward: script +2, free attribute point +2.

If the script created by the host fails to meet the relevant performance requirements, an incentive bonus will be issued after the end of this period to encourage the host to continue to create excellent dramas.

Sub-professional incentive bonuses are issued according to the sub-professional level.

The current sub-professional incentives are: 10% of the corresponding actual investment in film and television animation projects.

(Sub-occupation: The screenwriting cycle starts with the screenplay corresponding to the film and television animation starting to be released, and ends with the "certain time" reaching the end of the current period)"

Ji Zhuo looked at the changes on the system interface,

Slightly hyperactive.

On the system interface,
The sub-profession column is finally not blank.

There is an additional editor's occupation, and at the same time, there is a bluntly added 'script' attribute in the occupation attribute.
It's about his ability to write scripts.

It's only three o'clock
Worse than the five slags of other attributes before him,

In addition, looking at the system interface, there is another sub-profession that has not been opened yet.
It seems that he can continue to start a new side job?
I don't know what's next.

At last,
It is also the biggest change in the system this time.

Because of the emergence of the sub-profession 'screenwriter',

The system also adds the tasks of the 'screenwriter' profession every period.

Similar to the main job.

To meet the task requirements, you can get attribute points,

If the task requirements are not met, you can also get incentive money.

However, the incentive money for the "sub-profession" task is not paid on a monthly basis.
Instead, after the end of the current period, according to the total investment of the affected projects corresponding to the script.

Ten percent?
If the total investment is tens of millions, if you fail to meet the task requirements in the first period, wouldn't you be able to send yourself several million...

Hmm... why does it feel like there are not many?
Why do I feel like I'm a little bloated?
It's probably the 100 million monthly main job incentives that the system used to give out, so it's almost meaningless to send them out one by one.

But it's not too much...

There are several screenwriters who can earn millions of dollars from a film and television project.

This is also the reason why Ji Zhuo told the editor before that he would share it.

think so,
If he meets the system's task requirements, it proves that the film and television or animation corresponding to the script he created is popular.
If he takes a share, he will definitely make more money.

And if this movie, TV series, or anime flutters,
Although he can't get much money,

But is there still an incentive of [-]% of the total investment in the system?

No loss in any way!
What is this called!
This is risk hedging,
This wave is a win-win!

Pros and cons are wins!
Although film and television animation and so on are not entirely his business,
He still can't sacrifice the interests of others to seek his own benefits.

So he will definitely not make any fools in the script,

But a movie, a TV series, and a script are only a small part.

That can't stop other links from stretching.

Then won't he get the system encouragement money?
Ji Zhuo thought,

Slightly excited.

but,

The requirements of this profession are obviously much more complicated.

A film and animation production cycle is also long,
It also means that the task cycle of Ji Zhuo's assistant professional screenwriter will take a long time to end one and start another.

If you really count it, you must not be good at writing novels, in all aspects.

He said that this time it was because the copyright of his novel was sold that others wanted him, the original author, to be the screenwriter.

After this time is over, he doesn't know where to find the next opportunity to be a screenwriter in a film and television animation.

After all, scripts can be said to be everywhere. Why do you find him, an online writer with only 3 points in the script attribute, and a part-time screenwriter?

Ji Zhuo shook his head,

Then glance at the system interface.

I saw that screenwriting tasks on the system are still calculated according to the total number of viewers.

He was still thinking in his mind, if he directly broadcasts a drama for free, he is afraid that the total number of viewers will not be enough, so he can directly earn attribute points.

But the dog system really had to leave no loopholes for him.

I asked for the duration of the corresponding film and television, and also asked for 80.00% praise.

What does this mean? It means that it must require a considerable investment to make it.

If it is invested by others, it is impossible for others to take it out to the audience for nothing within the system cycle.

It would be fine if Ji Zhuo invested himself.

But now he only has two million in his pocket, and he can't make it himself, so he asked someone to ask the crew to invest in his script.

……never mind.

Let's wait until he buys a villa first and finds four maids.

shook his head,

Ji Zhuo looked at the system again,

Just shut down the system directly.

The task of the assistant professional screenwriter has not been settled at all.
Let's get on with the novel for now.

"Continue to pounce!"

After clicking on the codeword software, I cleared up my mood.

Ji Zhuo put other things aside for the time being, and continued to code.
