29. Comic adaptation rights, sensational third place

This week was a boiling week for Global Magazine!

Yu Chengliang took Fang Xueshu, the editor-in-chief of the novel department, Jiang Xianping, sales manager, and Li Qingyuan, the editor-in-chief of the martial arts, to a trip to the headquarters. With the support of some data, he received the support of the headquarters' group channel. The next issue of the novel weekly will use the group channel to distribute goods nationwide.

Since Monday, the sales of Global Novel Weekly have been somewhat abnormal.

All 200,000 copies sold on the first day were sold out. This should have been four or five days of sales, and then more than 400,000 orders were added!

But, this is just the beginning.

After all the orders of 450,000 were shipped, they only lasted for three days.

Three days later, Jiang Xianping received many orders, most of them were sellers he had never met before. Many sellers from surrounding provinces also followed suit and placed orders. The additional order volume reached 500,000 again. With the previous sales of 650,000, the sales volume this week will reach 1.15 million, exceeding their expected sales volume.

This is already the pinnacle of Global Novel Weekly. Before, they used group channels to distribute goods nationwide without such a terrible improvement.

These days, Yu Chengliang has been in the novel department every day, always paying attention to data changes.

Every day, good news comes, either new orders are added, or many more readers related to The Legend of the Condor Heroes call.

"Lao Fang, Lao Li, how is the situation today?"

On Saturday, Yu Chengliang had no rest and was still in the novel department.

Fang Xueshu handed a piece of data to Yu Chengliang and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, we really dug up the treasure this time, it's all the credit of Editor-in-Chief Li."

Li Qingyuan stood behind and smiled and said, "It is Editor-in-Chief Fang who is good at leading the way, and it is correct for General Yu to customize his strategies and policies. I just implemented it."

Yu Chengliang smiled and pointed at the two people who were singing double acts, picked up the data and started to read it.

As of Saturday, the latest issue of Global Novel Weekly's sales have reached 1.2 million this week, and it is expected to have sales of tens of thousands on Sunday, which may reach about 1.25 million. This is a sales result they dare not imagine before.

"Mr. Yu, this province and some areas around us are almost full. Let's see if the national channels can make efforts. I suggest that in the next issue, we will integrate the manuscripts of the three issues of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in the magazine and publish the first six chapters together so that readers in other places can finish reading them at once."

Fang Xueshu said with advice.

If you follow the rules, the next issue of the novel magazine will be published in Chapter 5 and 6, which will be released in the next issue, but it will not be very friendly to readers in other regions, because they have not read the previous two issues.

Yu Chengliang nodded: "Well, if necessary, you can do this yourself, I will only look at the results."

"Haha, okay, Mr. Yu, then you'll be optimistic. We've finished typing. The Legend of the Condor Heroes replaced the previous main promotion novel and placed it in the front main promotion page. The cover of the magazine is The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Fang Xueshu said confidently.

He handed Yu Chengliang the next issue of the novel and magazine. Yu Chengliang looked at it and nodded to express his satisfaction.

The passionate swordsman of Lao Feng, who was recommended before, was forcibly ended by Fang Xueshu.

Liang Chao from the comics department walked in, showed an embarrassing smile at Yu Chengliang and Fang Xueshu, and said, "Mr. Yu, Lao Fang, I have a suggestion. Should we buy the comic adaptation rights of The Legend of the Condor Heroes immediately?"

Fang Xueshu fell silent and looked at Li Qingyuan.

Li Qingyuan said: "The right to adapt the comics is in the hands of the author, and we have the right to refute, but I think with his shrewdness, now we unilaterally bid, he will not be able to take action."

"Try it, that's right."

Liang Chao said with a bitter face: "Lao Fang, Mr. Yu, the novel department has improved, and our comic department is also anxious. If the adaptation of the comics of The Legend of the Condor Heroes can be so popular, then will not both of our magazines become popular? This will benefit our entire magazine."

Yu Chengliang looked at Fang Xueshu and said, "Then Lao Fang, please contact the author and first bid to see if you can buy the comic adaptation rights."

“What’s the bid?”

Fang Xueshu asked.

Yu Chengliang thought for a while and said, "Termally set to be two million!"

Fang Xueshu shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Yu, do you want us to work with this author only once, or do you want to work together for a long time in the future?"

Yu Chengliang was stunned, and then his expression changed. He knew that there was something wrong with his speculative psychology. If he just wanted to cooperate with the other party once, then he would naturally make a profit. Anyway, he would not interact with each other in the future, just like the great god who cheated on comics and magazines before, they could not do anything to each other.

However, he couldn't just want to work with the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes once.

Such a great author cannot even dig, and it may be a pit when he digs it. Now he has cultivated one here, how can he push it out?

It must be well provided.

Yu Chengliang thought for a while and said, "Then set a tentative five million first. This is already a high price for his current results. I'll ask him if he sells it."

Liang Chao couldn't wait to say, "Lao Fang, please contact me now."

Fang Xueshu looked at Li Qingyuan, and Li Qingyuan nodded and took out the phone, calling the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes who was recorded on the phone.

The phone rang several times before it was connected.

Wang Zhe is currently practicing Tai Chi in the Yuan Dynasty downstairs. His manuscript is almost over, so he started to relax in the past two days, ended his life as an otaku, and began to consciously exercise himself. He got up in the morning to run, practice vocal music, practice Tai Chi and qi. He can also cook a meal by himself at noon. He can't just eat instant noodles, and he goes to bed on time at night and will not stay up late again.

Since God gave him a handsome face and a talented voice, he would cherish it and polish it well to prepare for the future.

After receiving a call from Li Qingyuan, Wang Zhe stopped playing Tai Chi, breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and asked, "Editor Li, is there anything wrong?"

Li Qingyuan looked at Yu Chengliang and said, "Wang Zhe, that's it. We have serialized your The Legend of the Condor Heroes for two issues, and the response is very good, and the sales increase of our magazines is obvious. We want to discuss with you now about purchasing the right to adapt comics. What do you think?"

Wang Zhe captured the information revealed by Li Qingyuan.

The response was very good, and the sales increase of the magazine was significantly effective!

That is to say, after just two issues serialized, the Legend of the Condor Heroes will be in a sign of becoming popular.

"Haha, Editor-in-Chief Li, you said, how much do you bid?"

Wang Zhe asked with a smile.

Li Qingyuan directly retelled Yu Chengliang's words: "Five million is already a price that some little gods in the industry can only get."

Wang Zhe was also slightly surprised. He thought that the other party wanted to buy early and get a bargain, and the bid might be very low, or maybe only a few dozen or millions. Unexpectedly, the other party was so sincere and directly bid for five million. This was definitely a high price of conscience.

However, Wang Zhe still didn't plan to sell it so early.

Two issues have been released, and the exciting parts are far from breaking out.

Perhaps the other party felt that the price was indeed very conscientious, but Wang Zhe still felt that it could not achieve the value that the Legend of the Condor Heroes should have.

"Editor Li, sorry, I want to wait first."

Wang Zhe politely declined.

In the magazine, Liang Chao hurriedly said to Chengliang: "Mr. Yu, the earlier you buy, the better. There is no loss in the premium, and you can also publish comics as soon as possible."

Yu Chengliang hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his finger to Li Qingyuan and drew a number of seven.

Li Qingyuan said to Wang Zhe immediately: "What about the seven million? Wang Zhe, this is the price of comic adaptation that only some famous masters who have been famous for many years can get."

Wang Zhe fell silent and then said, "Editor Li, if you can pay 10 million, I can sell it to you now, but it is not permanent, but a grant for twenty years, and will automatically return to me after twenty years, but you have the right to renew the contract first."

The magazine suddenly fell silent.

Fang Xueshu and Liang Chao both stared at Li Qingyuan with wide eyes and brought Li Qingyuan into Wang Zhe. I want to ask, are you kidding?

Ten million, or just authorization for twenty years?

This is just the right to adapt the comic, not full copyright authorization!

Only top writers can get this price.

Why are you a newcomer?

Yu Chengliang shook his head at Li Qingyuan with a gloomy expression.

Li Qingyuan smiled awkwardly and said to Wang Zhe: "This price is too high, and it is unlikely to authorize it for twenty years. Now it is basically bought out directly."

"Then we can't cooperate."

Wang Zhe also said with deep regret.

"Okay, I won't talk about the right to adapt the comics for now. We've sent your manuscript fee. Your novel has great potential. Write it well, don't break it."

Li Qingyuan changed the topic and encouraged him.

Wang Zhe agreed, "Hahaha, OK, I know."

The two hung up the phone.

Wang Zhe continued to wander around the park, breathing fresh air, practicing breath to make his lungs strong, so that he could better express his voice.

Li Qingyuan looked at Yu Chengliang and Liang Chao with ugly faces and said, "Mr. Yu, Editor-in-Chief Liang, I think the right to adapt the comics is to be put aside first. Anyway, we have priority. No matter how much other people bid later, we can just follow the price at that time, and it is ours."

Liang Chao whispered: "The new author is really ignorant of the world. He dares to shout a price of 10 million. He has only authorized it for twenty years. Who do he think he is?"

Yu Chengliang's expression was not good either, and the other party learned to read and said, "Lao Fang, you keep watching, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Yu Chengliang turned around and left.

Liang Chao also hurriedly followed and said something.

Fang Xueshu shrugged and said it didn't matter. He also hoped that the comics department could rise, which would also add some popularity to the novels department. However, he could not force the adaptation rights of The Legend of the Condor Heroes to the comics. If the price could not be negotiated, what could he do? He could only look forward to his own acre of three cents of land.

But.

Monday morning!

The entire Global Magazine was in sensation.

Or, all the novels and magazines in China caused a sensation.

Because, on the latest serialized novel list of the most popular magazine magazine, a new face suddenly appeared in the top ten novels, which were also serialized novels from the small magazine Global Novels, and only serialized to the second issue, and the number of readers received last week reached 1.3 million.
Chapter completed!
