Chapter 78 Negotiations
There is an explanation in the buyout novel contract that if the author does not update the novel for a long time, the website has the right to find someone to continue writing.
But Chen Zi'ang signed a share contract, and the website did not renew the rights.
Although I am a newcomer, I am also fearless. I am not really like those newcomers who will only write harder after the copyright is sold.
After school in the afternoon, Chen Zi'ang did not go home, so he ate in the school cafeteria, and then went back to the classroom to continue reading.
Just as I was watching, my phone received a text message from an unfamiliar number.
"I'm waiting for you at the school gate, but haven't seen you come out?"
Chen Zi'ang took a look and knew it was a text message from a beautiful woman in professional clothing.
But he ignored it.
When the evening self-study was about to be held, he received another text message.
"I'm still at the school gate."
The beauty in a professional suit is still waiting for him at the school gate.
Chen Zi'ang knew that it was OK!
He asked Dai Shuai to go home first.
Then, he pushed his bicycle out of school alone.
Day students have already left almost the same, and there are very few people at the school gate, with few people.
When Chen Zi'ang came out, he saw the girl in professional clothes sitting next to the flowerbed on the side of the road.
She was eating bread, with a bottle of mineral water next to her, and her eyes were staring at the school gate from time to time.
Seeing Chen Zi'ang come out, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly put away the unfinished bread and ran over with a mineral water bottle.
"You see, I'm in my third year of high school and I'll take the college entrance examination soon." Chen Zi'ang felt bad, and felt sorry for this persistent girl.
The girl's name is Chen Siyu, who should be from the north. She has a northern accent in Mandarin. She took a sip of mineral water, swallowed the bread in her mouth, and apologized: "Sorry."
Then, she said: "We know that you are a senior high school student. I don't ask you to update every day. It's okay to update a chapter every few days. I hope you can write it well until it is completed normally."
While pushing the bicycle, Chen Zi'ang turned his head and asked, "Do you think about this novel?"
Chen Siyu didn't answer immediately, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be taken seriously, otherwise I wouldn't give me a death order and let me come over. If I can't complete the task, I can only resign."
Chen Zi'ang was silent and pushed the cart away.
Chen Siyu was not in a hurry to speak and followed him silently.
After a long time, Chen Zi'ang said, "I also attach great importance to this novel. Let me tell you the truth. I wanted to buy the copyright back by myself, but I had no money and wanted to wait for the money to save enough, so I bought it back, but I didn't expect it to be intercepted by you."
Chen Siyu was surprised. There was such a thing. Do you have to buy the copyright of the novel written by Chen Zi'ang?
"Are you surprised?" Chen Zi'ang smiled.
Chen Siyu nodded: "I really didn't expect what kind of contract you signed with them, so domineering."
Chen Zi'ang smiled and said, "They are a platform that gives newcomers opportunities. Some of them become popular with the help of them. However, they are more obscured. Until they leave the field of writers, they don't find any use of copyright, because their book data is too poor and worthless. If the copyrights are sold, they are also very happy because they are easily content. I am different."
Chen Siyu was thinking while listening. Seeing that Chen Zi'ang suddenly stopped talking, she couldn't help asking, "Why are you different?"
Chen Zi'ang said: "I am an art student. The art school I took was a director major and a performance department major."
Chen Siyu nodded: "We know this."
"Caughter." Chen Zi'ang couldn't help but swear, and he could know this.
So powerful.
Netizens are omnipotent. Is this company also a member of the Internet army?
Chen Siyu didn't care about Chen Zi'ang's swearing. After realizing it, she said in surprise: "You are taking the art school, those majors, do you want to..."
Chen Zi'ang didn't say anything, this girl was very smart.
"You don't want to write anymore. This is a loss-making loss, right?" Chen Siyu couldn't help but say.
Chen Zi'ang looked ahead and said indifferently: "It's not the copyright I sold to you. It's my business to write it or not, and I can't help it."
Chen Siyu asked helplessly: "The copyright has been bought out and the money has been paid, so it is impossible to refund it. I am here to solve the problem now. How can you continue to write and ensure the quality of it?"
Chen Zi'ang felt sad and angry when he thought about it. He was so fucking depressed.
I won't sign such a contract if I beat you up to death.
I don’t even write it online, but I just submit the article to the entity and write it under the pseudonym of Jin Daxia.
Qichuang Chinese website only signs the book "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and does not sign a pseudonym, it's okay.
As for printing the physical version by yourself, Chen Zi'ang didn't want to.
Specializes in profession.
He has money to publish, but has no channels to sell it.
"I want to write a script for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", film it myself, and select actors myself. How do you think we can solve the problem?" Chen Zi'ang asked Chen Siyu back.
Chen Siyu was speechless.
Chen Zi'ang's request is really impossible to talk about.
When people buy out the copyright, they just want to make trouble by themselves, find screenwriters, directors, or even actors by themselves. How could they leave it to Chen Zi'ang?
Chen Zi'ang is only a senior high school student.
Screenwriter, can he write it?
Director, will he take the lead?
Looking for an actor?
Not reliable.
"Zi'ang, do you know the film and television industry very well? Or in other words, do you know how to write, how to direct, and how to choose actors?" Chen Siyu asked.
Chen Zi'ang smiled and said, "I said I can do it, do you believe it?"
Chen Siyu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Yes, don't believe it."
"Then ask?" Chen Zi'ang said.
Chen Siyu was silent and said seriously for a while: "I already understand your demands. I will report it truthfully when I go back. I hope everyone can find a solution that both parties can accept."
Chen Zi'ang knew that the other party could not agree to him so many conditions, and even refused to agree to any of them, so he wanted to find other solutions.
But now that things have come to this, Chen Siyu's sincerity and hard work are in his heart, and he did not have to agree to all the conditions.
So, we have to continue talking.
...
The next day, Chen Sihuguo came to find Chen Zi'ang again.
"The screenwriter can ask you to help you, even if you are the main one. The director's affairs... you can't even handle the company's actions if you dare to take a picture of it. So this article cannot be agreed. If you choose an actor, you can listen to your suggestions, but you may not necessarily adopt it." Chen Siyu reported the price code of Tianshui Film and Television Company.
"It's not necessarily a matter of adoption, but it's just a matter of talking about it!" Chen Ziang said angrily.
"Let's talk more carefully and don't lose your temper." Chen Siyu was embarrassed.
Chen Zi'ang calmed down for a moment and said, "The screenwriter must be me. I only release one TV series and one movie. I can only release other remakes, and I don't care if you even sell the copyright. But if I study the director major, the company starts shooting after I graduate, and I will direct the actors. No matter when the actors are shot, no matter when they are shot, whether it is Tianshui Film and Television themselves or who sells them to, I must choose the first version."
OK, the talk is broken.
Chapter completed!
