Chapter 46: Deceiving People Too Much

Although I don’t know why "Slam Dunk" has become so popular, there is no doubt that for Manxia, ​​who is short of funds, this is an urgent business.

After the two sides sat down for some discussion, Mantianxia offered conditions, intending to sell the distribution rights of "Slam Dunk" at one time, and offered a super high offer of 12 million yuan.

When generally, when a comic or other literary work is distributed, the publisher not only pays a certain copyright fee at the beginning, but the rest is calculated based on the sales volume of the work.

If the work sells well after it is put on the shelves, it will be a continuous income for the original author, and the publisher can also avoid certain risks.

But in order to recover funds, Mantianxia actually wanted to sell off the publication of "Slam Dunk" and even offered such a high price, which was unexpected by Huayu Publishing House.

The editor who represented Huayu Publishing House took a deep breath, "I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter, so I need to go back and discuss it with the president and editor-in-chief."

Editor Qiangwei seemed to want to say something, but the editor nodded and expressed his understanding, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for good news from Huayu."

After saying that, he shook hands and signaled Qiangwei to send the person out.

After the person left.

The editor Qiangwei, who returned, looked at the editor-in-chief and spoke: "Editor-in-chief, Huayu is one of the most influential publishing houses in China. Neither Jiuzhou nor Qingyang will miss the opportunity to cooperate with Huayu. Should we make some concessions appropriately?"

The editor-in-chief smiled, "Don't I know that the other party is Huayu? But now our website's capital chain is almost impossible to hold on. Once the whole world is over, what's the use of Huayu? Let's wait and see. If there is still no news in Huayu in two days, then let's go out and sell the distribution rights of "Slam Dunk" for 1,200 million yuan. Whoever pays this money will sell the copyright to whom."

Qiangwei hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "According to the rules, should I say hello to the author of "Slam Dunk" first?"

The editor-in-chief suddenly asked: "I heard that the author of "Slam Dunk" is applying for S-level signing?"

...

Lin Yi was very melancholy.

I called Bai Xiaoxiao the day before yesterday and it was her agent Feng Lin who answered it.

Bai Xiaoxiao is a major in broadcasting and hosting, and her basic skills of dancing and singing are relatively poor. Fortunately, she has the foundation of martial arts and can get started quickly in dance. As for singing, she can only practice repeatedly.

The annual mid-year ceremony of Moyin is coming soon. In order to achieve excellent results during the ceremony, Bai Xiaoxiao conducts devil special training almost day and night, and the average sleep time is less than six hours a day.

It’s also thanks to Bai Xiaoxiao’s martial arts foundation that he can persevere.

Feng Lin admitted that because Bai Xiaoxiao has very high requirements for her, sometimes even Feng Lin is frightened when she sees it. So what she meant was that Lin Yi could be Bai Xiaoxiao's "man behind", support her, and understand her, and try not to disturb Bai Xiaoxiao's special training in the half month before the mid-year ceremony.

At the same time, Feng Lin also warned Lin Yi that Bai Xiaoxiao is the most potential and diligent girl she has ever met, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the future. At this stage, there is absolutely no scandal.

Therefore, her relationship with Lin Yi is limited to Feng Lin for the time being, and the fourth person will never be known.

Lin Yi was depressed. He finally had a conversation with such a beautiful girlfriend, so he was not allowed to call or make an announcement. When Bai Xiaoxiao became famous in the future, he would probably have to sneak up on meeting him.

But there is no way, this is Bai Xiaoxiao's dream. What can Lin Yi say when working hard for his dream? You can't just eat all day long like him, right?

Of course, I can't say that completely. Lin Yi still pursues something, such as pursuing money and pursuing girls... With Bai Xiaoxiao's beautiful girlfriend, pursuing girls can be cut off, and the only thing left to pursue is money, money and... money.

Damn, the more I think about it, the more angry I get. How many days have I been doing? Where is the royalties? When will I post them?

Just as I was thinking about whether to call the editor Qiangwei again to ask about the situation, my phone rang first.

The call was an unfamiliar number, Lin Yi answered: "Hey..."

"Hello, is it Mahua Teng, the comic author of "Slam Dunk"?"

Lin Yi thought it was called from Mantianxia, ​​and it had something to do with his royalties or S-level contracts, "Yes, I am."

"Ha, hello, I'm Huayu Publishing House here, and I took the liberty to call because our publishing house is optimistic about the comic "Slam Dunk" and wants to communicate with you about the issue of signing and publishing."

"Huayu Publishing House?" Lin Yi was stunned for a moment. He also read the news online during this period. He knew that Huayu wanted to enter the comics industry, but he did not expect to like his book "Slam Dunk".

"This comic is currently published on Mantianxia website and has been signed. Is it better to communicate with the publication there?"

"It has been communicated." Huayu Publishing House said: "The Mantianxia website means that it intends to sell the copyright at one time. This condition is very harsh, and for the original author, you cannot maximize the benefits..."

Later, he told Lin Yi about the news that Mantianxia planned to sell "Slam Dunk" for a package price of 12 million yuan. The conditions for Huayu's side were a signing fee of 2 million yuan and a royalty of 12%. With Huayu's influence, if the comics were good, Lin Yi's income would definitely be higher than that of 12 million yuan.

"I understand, but I'm not very clear about this matter." Lin Yi frowned, "When I check with Mantianxia, ​​I'll give you news."

"It's good, you should have heard of Huayu's name. We are very optimistic about the comic "Slam Dunk" and hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with an excellent comics industry like you. However, I just heard that Mantianxia seems to have reached a preliminary intention with a domestic publishing house..."

After a few words of politeness, he hung up the call.

Lin Yi's lungs are almost furious. What does it mean? I didn't even inform me of my comics and publishing issues?

Do you really treat me as air?

Even if the world is short of funds and wants to package and sell my comics, discuss them in advance, for the sake of 12 million... it is not that there is no room for negotiation, right?

What does it mean now? If the remuneration is not issued, the copyright must be packaged at one time. Depending on this situation, it may not be certain whether I can get the dividends after the copyright is sold!

I called the editor Qiangwei and waited for a long time, but no one answered.

I turned it again, and it rang a few times, and it was connected.
Chapter completed!
