Chapter 41: Just a Mobile Game Copyright
how about it?
In fact, when Boss Ding heard about the cancellation of the station commission and the change to a unified total sales commission, he already had the answer in his mind.

The commission for station employees is 15%, and the promotion only includes a carousel poster on the homepage.

Now, the commission has been increased by 5%, but the promotion has expanded from a single category of carousel posters to full-network marketing at home and abroad.

Ding Yi really couldn't find any reason to refuse such a good thing.

But he still wanted to confirm one thing.

"Did you pay in advance during the promotion? How will the promotion fee be deducted? Will it be deducted from our total sales, or from the 20% you deserve?"

[Of course it is deducted from our 20% share. If it is deducted from your total sales, it means that the promotion fee is paid by you and we are just paying in advance, which is obviously wrong.]
After hearing this, Ding Yi nodded with satisfaction.

In his previous life, the game company he worked for found such a distribution company.

They allocated 10 yuan for promotional expenses to promote the game, and when they collected the money in the end, they not only took the share they deserved, but also took an additional 10 yuan in promotional fees that they had spent previously.

Good man, the developer not only has to pay a commission, but also a promotion fee, right? The publisher is making a lot of money.

Therefore, he wanted to get things clear to avoid confusion later.

But fortunately, Danmu.com is not that kind of company, which saves him the trouble of communication.

"Manager Shi, I have another question. What if the 20% share you get is not proportional to the promotion fee you spent? What if you lose money?"

After hearing this, Manager Shi was speechless for a moment and could not help but say angrily.

[If it were another company, we would use the copyright of the work as a backup.]
[But for your Star Game, you can only lower the subsequent promotion level, cancel the highest level, and even the rating of the Star Game may drop. So, please understand, after all, the ultimate goal of Danmu.com is to make a profit.]
After a pause, Manager Shi continued for fear of misunderstanding.

[Mr. Ding, by now, I believe you should have noticed our sincerity and understand that we at Danmu.com have given the green light to Xingdong Games.]
[Other companies will never get this kind of treatment here. Even if they do, the copyright of their works is in our hands.]
[The reason why we attach so much importance to Star Games is that your success has made us see the value and potential of Star Games, and you are worthy of our investment.]
[But investment itself carries a high risk of losing all your money, so we also hope that Xingdong Games can thrive. We hope that Mr. Ding’s games will become better and better and more popular.]
[To this end, we are also using our own resources to help you achieve win-win cooperation.]
Hearing these words, Ding Yi nodded slightly.

Well, since you are so sincere and the conditions are indeed in my favor, it would be foolish to refuse.

Now that we understand everything, it's time to make a decision.

Sitting on the chair, Ding Yi crossed his legs and smiled.

"Manager Shi, it's really a pleasure to cooperate with you, Danmu.com."

When Manager Shi on the other end of the phone heard this, he raised his eyebrows and was immediately delighted.

[So you agreed?]
"Of course, I can't refuse this. It's a pleasure to work with you."

[Great, Mr. Ding, happy cooperation!]
[I will sort out the contract and send it to you tomorrow. After confirming that there is no problem, just print it out, sign and stamp it.]
[By the way, Mr. Ding, now that you have chosen our Danmu.com as the distributor of "Rotten Meat", in view of our sincerity, there is one more thing I want to ask you.]
Ok?
Ding Yi, who was about to drink a sip of water, suddenly became curious.

"You said."

Manager Shi on the other end of the phone paused, pondered for a while, and then asked.

[Mr. Ding, are you interested in selling the mobile game adaptation rights of "Devil's Roulette"?]
[If possible, we at Danmu.com would like to buy it. For this purpose, we have drafted two contracts, one is a buyout contract, and the other is a 30% profit sharing contract. What do you think?]
Hearing this, Ding Yi narrowed his eyes and paused slightly with his hand holding the water cup.

As expected, Danmu.com is also paying attention to "Devil's Roulette".

In fact, his assistant Zhou Tinglian has reported it many times, and seven or eight companies have come to him, all hoping to buy the rights to adapt the mobile game.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand.

Although "Devil's Roulette" is a stand-alone PC game, it has adopted the monetization method of a mobile APP, that is, advertising placement, and it has been very successful, which really makes these manufacturers jealous.

In other words, if "Devil's Roulette" itself is a mobile game, wouldn't it be more reasonable and convenient to embed advertising?
Therefore, manufacturers came to us.
Moreover, this game is still very popular at present. Although not as popular as "Rotten Meat", the orders it has attracted have been scheduled for four months later.

This shows that the game is of great value. Therefore, he did not develop a mobile version to divert users and merchants. In his opinion, uniqueness is the most valuable.

But this model is destined not to last long, so in the end we still have to make a mobile game version to make money.

In fact, there are already several games with similar gameplay on the mobile game market.

There are "Killer Roulette", "Beauty Roulette", "God of Gamblers Roulette" and so on.

But it’s only the gameplay that’s similar, the rest is completely different from Devil’s Roulette and can’t be compared at all.

This is thanks to the strict copyright protection laws on Blue Planet, which fundamentally eliminate the phenomenon of plagiarism.

Now that Tencent has come to Nanshan Pizza Hut, I'm afraid both the lawyer and the judge will have to go in as well.

Therefore, since they cannot copy the original products, these manufacturers can only make some imitation products.

But even so, "Devil's Roulette" still has great popularity and profit margins, and manufacturers also understand the huge difference between genuine products and imitations.

So I want to buy the copyright of mobile games even more.

But that's it.
Compared with these manufacturers, Danmu.com is indeed sincere enough, and selling to it can be regarded as establishing a cooperative relationship, which is really not a loss.

And after selling it to them, it will take some time just to develop it. By the time the mobile version comes out, the PC version will be out of fashion.

At that time, he only needs to enjoy the profit share brought by the mobile game version.

It's like collecting money while lying down.

At this time, since Ding Yi had not spoken for a long time, Manager Shi became a little anxious.

[Mr. Ding, I understand what you are thinking. You are thinking that instead of selling the mobile game copyright to us, why don’t you develop the mobile game yourself? Right.]
[There is nothing wrong with your thinking, but we still hope that you can give up and sell the mobile game copyright to us.]
[There are several roulette games on the mobile game market now, but none of them can replace your "Devil's Roulette", after all, the quality is far from the same.]
[But it is undeniable that competition is getting more and more intense. If your development team does not have a mobile game project, then I suggest you hand it over to us. We will find a professional team to develop it, and you just need to share the profits. Mr. Ding, do you think this is okay?]
The series of questions made Ding Yi feel a little amused and helpless.

I haven't said anything yet and you've already started to think about it.

What? I want to develop it myself. I just don't have the interest or time.

After all, "Devil's Roulette" is just the starting point of his career, and Ding Yi doesn't want to focus his energy on it.

Remaking "The Day Before" is the top priority.

So he smiled.

"Manager Shi, don't get excited."

"I didn't say I wouldn't sell it to you. Indeed, several companies have contacted me and want to acquire the mobile game copyright."

"However, considering that Director Shi has put so much effort into our cooperation and has shown enough sincerity, and has brought many benefits, I don't need to treasure it, just a mobile game copyright, just based on these points."

Hearing this, Manager Shi was stunned and asked in astonishment.

[So, Mr. Ding, about the copyright of this mobile game]
Ding Yi smiled and replied.

"Again, happy cooperation."

　There will be another chapter later, probably before 2 o'clock. Everyone, have a good rest. I will go to bed after I finish updating.
