A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 82 Signing the contract and the new "dream memory"

Ren Qing is also a person who has worked hard in the workplace for a long time, that is to say, he realized in just a few seconds that he had made an own mistake.

Obviously, in the conference room of Hongfeng Literature, no one would intentionally make such a joke.

Since the boy next to him took the initiative to say that he is "Yuanqing", then...
"Oh oh oh, it's my problem. I was confused for a while, and I recognized the wrong person. I'm sorry." Ren Qing laughed quickly, instead of entangled in this, she led the topic to other places.

"Teacher "Yuanqing" is really young and handsome, handsome and promising!"

Xia Yan didn't pay too much attention to these details, and it's okay for people to admit mistakes. Instead, he looked at Ren Qing with curiosity in his eyes.

After all, this guy is responsible for the animation adaptation of Unheard Flower Name.

Xia Yan, as the author of the novel, actually has little say in the copyright development of his works at this stage, and the cooperation with Jiuyou Animation has already been negotiated with the other party after the book club and the other party have negotiated, waiting for his signature to take effect, and the cooperation can be officially launched .

"I am the novel editor of "Yuanqing", Tang Yin, this is the first time we meet, hello."

At this time Tang Yin took the initiative to stand up and said to Ren Qing with a smile.

And among the few people who came in with Ren Qing, there are also two legal staff of Hongfeng Literature who are in charge of this business.

They will assist Xia Yan to complete all work related to the animation of "Unheard Flower Name" by himself, Hongfeng Literature, and Jiuyou Animation.

It is said to be a signing meeting, but in fact, it is mainly Red Maple Literature that let Xia Yan, the author, and the staff of Jiuyou Animation get to know each other, and understand the details and conditions of this animation.

First of all
The total investment of the animation will be around 2000 million, of which the cost of copyright adaptation is 140 million in total.

For animation production, the copyright fee paid to the original author is not a large proportion of the production cost. In the parallel world, this proportion may be less than 3%.In the case of Dragon Country, the national conditions are different, and the extent to which ordinary creators are squeezed by the two capitals in the world is also different. Therefore, in Dragon Country, this figure will be 8% of the total investment.

In fact, the copyright fee of 140 million was allocated to Xia Yan according to the cooperation ratio with Hongfeng Literature, and after the tax was deducted, Xia Yan only got about 70.

The money is actually not that much.

Then why do many book clubs and novel authors expect their works to be adapted into animation?
The reason is that animation, a video theme, has a great market acceptance. Many novel authors don't care about the adaptation fee at all, but after the work is animated, it will often greatly drive the sales of the original novel's booklet and peripherals.

If your work is of high quality, maybe after it is animated, the popularity of your work will greatly increase, and the income in the booklet and peripherals will skyrocket several times.

Just like the comics of Demon Slayer: Blade in the parallel world, before the animation, the popularity was tepid, and the average sales volume of the comics was less than 40.

But only one or two years after the animation, the sales volume of the manga volume soared to 500 million copies. Taking the 23 volumes of this work as an example, a chain reaction caused by the animation made the sales of the manga volume directly Hundreds of millions of volumes have been added, and the income of comic book authors has also increased by several billion island national currency, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of Chinese national currency in the parallel world.

This is only the sales volume of the manga booklet, and the sales of the manga peripherals after the animation is also exaggerated.

The manga author of this work earned 30 million U.S. dollars in two years by relying on the popularity of the animation. In his early [-]s, he became financially free and went back to his hometown for retirement.

Xia Yan just had a general understanding of the animation adaptation fee, and didn't say much after knowing that the price given by the other party was the market price.

That is, the total production cost of the animation is 2000 million. This production cost is neither high nor low.

Calculated, the average production cost of the animation set will be close to 200 million.

In the animation industry of Longguo, it can be regarded as the average level.

After all, it is only a popular work in the southern province, and it is impossible for others to make any big investment or big production.

Then Xia Yan and Ren Qing asked about the broadcast time and broadcast platform after the animation of the work was completed.

"Is it a broadcast platform?" Ren Qing paused after hearing this.

In the case of Longguo, although the level of technology has basically reached the level of the parallel world in Yuanqing's memory.

However, many things are still different. Watching animation, film and television works in the parallel world still tends to broadcast on online video platforms.

But in Longguo, viewers still like to watch on TV. There are online video platforms, but they are relatively small. There are no fan drama websites like Parallel World Station B, Station N, and Netflix for the time being.

"We preliminarily determined that the partner is one of the two TV stations. The first is the local TV station in Nan Province, "Nan Province TV." Ren Qing said.

"However. In fact, given the quality of the unheard Huaming novel, we are more inclined to animate it and broadcast it on "Modu tv7."

The field of TV broadcasting is different from the field of light novel periodicals. Even the TV programs in the southern province can be watched in the whole country, but the flow of people is usually small.

Most of the TV viewers who watch Nan Province TV are only locals of Nan Province.

The two regions with the highest TV ratings in Dragon Country are the Imperial Capital and the Demon Capital.

In the Imperial Capital area, there are six TV channels named Imperial Capital tv1-6, and in the Modu there are seven channels named Modu tv1-7.

Similar to parallel world cctv1-10, but there are differences.

CCTV is all under the jurisdiction of CCTV, but there are more than a dozen TV channels in Shanghai and the capital, each of which is managed by a different company, and the bosses are completely different. It's just for the convenience of viewers to distinguish, so everyone's naming is deliberately unified.

Although Modu tv7 is only a channel with average traffic in the Modu area, the total traffic of this sub-channel is still much higher than that of Southern Province TV.

At this point, Xia Yan finally figured out all the problems he wanted to figure out.

First of all, as for the adaptation fee, he got about 70 tax deduction anyway. After the adaptation, with the strength of the other company, the works will be guaranteed to be broadcast on TV in Southern Province.

If Jiuyou Animation and Modu tv7 reach an agreement on cooperation, they will broadcast unheard animations on Modu tv7.

and the delivery time of the work.
It is expected that the animation episodes of the first few episodes will be produced within four months, and they will be broadcast on the spring animation market in January next year.

Then, Xia Yan asked another question that he was relatively more concerned about.

"Director Ren, if I say that the theme song or episode of this animation, the works created by musicians I know are very suitable, will you consider those works?" Xia Yan asked.

In fact, the ending song "All the secret bases you gave me~" of the original animation of the unheard of Huaming in the parallel world is really amazing, but Jiuyou Animation may also have the opportunity to find another song that can surpass it in Longguo.

It's just a matter of probability, and there is a high probability that the music produced by the musicians that Jiuyou Animation found in Longguo will not reach the height of "all the secret bases you gave me~".

Since Xia Yan knows that the original animation has a very suitable track, and this song has played such a big role in the spread of the original animation in the parallel world, now anyway, regardless of whether his request is a bit too much, let's talk about it first .

At that time, when the song is released, people will use it if they like it, and if they don't like it, that's okay, after all, they have worked hard.

"Music?" Ren Qing pondered for a moment after hearing the words.

"As long as the quality is sufficient and does not affect the sales, commerciality, and review of the work, our company has always respected the opinions of the original author of the work. If the quality of the track you like, Mr. Yuan Qing, meets the style of this work, then of course we will Will consider."

"How about this? After the successful signing today, in a few days, I will give you the direct contact information of the music supervisor in the animation production department of "Unheard Flower Name". Have an in-depth discussion with our company's music supervisor. And I will also give you my contact information. If you have any reasonable suggestions for animation production, you can also contact me directly. I will think about it and then adopt it. "

"I understand, I have no problem." Xia Yan said with a smile after thinking for a moment.

After seeing Xia Yan's expression, everyone present felt relieved.

It became.

Indeed, Xia Yan does not have the right to decide what partner to choose for the adaptation of his own work.In the contract signed by Xia Yan and Hongfeng, the right to operate the work belongs to Hongfeng Literature.

But Xia Yan, as the direct creator of his work, has a veto right over all operations of the work.

No matter how hard Red Maple Literature finds what it thinks is an excellent partner, Xia Yan can't see the partner he likes, he doesn't have to sign a contract or cooperate, no one can do anything to him.

Soon, someone brought it. In the past month, Red Maple Literature has repeatedly researched and compared it.
Red Maple Literature, Jiuyou Animation, and Xia Yan, each with a copy.

Without hesitation, Xia Yan signed his name on it.

"Pleasant to work with."

In the evening, Xia Yan had a meal with the group from Jiuyou Animation, and after drinking inevitably, he took a taxi back home in a daze.

As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep unconsciously.

in confusion.
The long-lost dream memory reappeared.

Eyes, looking at the memory of the girl, Xia Yan didn't know how many times he saw the girl Yuan Qing clicked on this game again.

She has been playing this game synchronously since she watched the unheard Hana animation, but she played it several times in a row, but gave up because of the game's garbage pixel art style.

And speaking of a game, this thing is more like a text novel, with a pixelated background, the playability is close to zero.

But what Yuan Qing couldn't let go of was the ridiculously high game rating of this game, and the crying complaints of a large group of game passers in the game comment area.

tear gas?

Touching?

After clearing the customs, the whole person is numb, unable to get out of the plot for half a month.

And some fans of this game keep talking in the comment area, so that new game players, don't give up this work just because of the scumbag pixel style of the game and the playability of that garbage. This work only needs to care about the plot.

If I lose it, I'm afraid of missing a good work, so let's keep playing, but I don't think it's too interesting.

Yuan Qing is a person who is easily influenced by others. If it weren't for these game reviews to irritate her, she would have deleted the game a long time ago.

Rubbish painting style, rubbish gameplay, in the game era when there are already 3A masterpieces like dogs, there are still people who make pixel games and make them eye-catching?
This is Yuan Qing's direct inner thoughts, but the complaints in his heart belong to the complaints.

A pixel game with such rubbish painting style, so low playability, so many people can still play it, and such a high score can only show one thing, its plot is ridiculously good.

Thinking of this, she fixed her eyes on the pixel screen of the game.

The game begins with the introduction of an old man who wants to realize his wish before he dies.

In the game, the characters controlled by the player are two medical technology researchers, a man and a woman. They came to the bed of the unconscious old man because they had received money to fulfill his wish before the old man died.
His wish to go to the moon!
The game is called "To the Moon"
