Coffee shop.
Chen Yao pushed open the glass door and walked in, sniffing as the fragrant smell of coffee floated in the air.
"Great writer, you are here!" Luo Kun, who had been waiting for a long time, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and greeted him with a smile.
"Don't say that, Lao Luo, I never think that I am a writer." Chen Yao smiled calmly and sat across from him.
When you publish a book, it is only a small hit, and now the second book has not been published yet, what kind of writer do you think you are?
A true writer must pass the test of at least two best-selling books.
Luo Kun said with a smile: "I have already read the second book, and the fire is not a problem. The publisher wants to buy out the copyright of your novel. I wonder if you are willing?"
¡°One-time buyout?¡±
"That's right." Luo Kun nodded and held out five fingers: "The publishing house is willing to pay 50 million to buy out the copyright of your novel."
50 million, what an attractive number, it can make you a rich writer.
It is a huge temptation for any author who writes books to make money.
¡°However, if you sell the copyright to a publishing house, any sales profits from the novel, as well as film, television and animation will no longer have anything to do with you.
Chen Yao refused: "I won't sell it."
"Why? The price of 50 million is already very high."
Luo Kun said with a serious face: "Although your book is very popular and has great potential for adaptation. But you also know that film and television adaptations are very risky and may not necessarily make money. Publishers also have to bear a lot of risks when they buy the copyright at a high price. "
He really spoke from his heart, and the novel is indeed very popular, but just because the novel is popular does not mean that it will be popular if it is made into a movie.
Domestic film and television adaptations seem to be prosperous, but in fact, people in the industry know that most of them lose money, and only a handful of them can actually make money.
It also takes a lot of courage for a publishing house to acquire the copyright of a novel at a high price.
Chen Yao smiled. Others didn¡¯t know how much the IP value of this book was, but he knew it very well.
In another parallel world, the box office of The Wandering Earth has reached 4.688 billion, but what is its production cost?
320 million.
??It¡¯s simply the king of attracting money!
If he sells the copyright for 50 million now, Chen Yao will definitely regret it to death in the future.
What's more, just looking at the sales of physical books, "My Wandering Earth" is even more popular than "The Wandering Earth" in another parallel space.
Now that the second part has been released, there is reason to believe that each one is more popular than the last. The sales revenue of the physical book alone far exceeds 50 million.
Luo Kun said seductively: "As long as you agree to sign the copyright sales contract, 50 million will be credited to your bank card immediately."
Chen Yao¡¯s attitude was very firm: ¡°Lao Luo, needless to say, the copyright will not be sold.¡±
"Okay, the publisher respects your opinion." Luo Kun felt a little regretful.
Although the book cannot be bought out, after all, the book is published by Jinchao Publishing House, which can enhance the publishing house's brand. The publishing house can also make a lot of money from the following series of services.
Luo Kun and his team members are very enthusiastic about the subsequent promotion of this book.
"Lao Luo, how many volumes do you think the second volume should be published in?" Chen Yao asked.
Luo Kun touched his chin and thought for a while: "The first volume has published nearly 300,000 copies and is almost sold out. An additional 500,000 copies will be printed soon."
"The quality of the second volume is higher, and the sales will only be better. I recommend printing 1 million copies."
The physical book market is generally bleak. A novel written by a relatively unknown author can sell one million copies, which is considered a miracle in the physical book market.
Chen Yao nodded and then signed a publishing contract with Jinchao Publishing House.
What you signed is not a buyout.
It¡¯s not divided.
Rather, Chen Yao publishes at his own expense. The author has to pay for the book number, review and correction, typesetting, and printing.
The advantage is that you have all the copyrights of this book.
??The income generated from the sales of physical books belongs to the author, including the income generated from later film and television adaptations, animation adaptations, and game adaptations.
Chen Yao was very satisfied and signed his name.
After signing the contract, Luo Kun took a sip of coffee and said, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"I have a niece who is quite good-looking and a female writer. Let me introduce her to you." Luo Kun chuckled.Once The Wandering Earth 2 is released, Chen Yao can become a top writer in minutes.
What a great idea Lao Luo!
Chen Yao said frankly: "I have never thought about finding a girlfriend."
"Why?" Luo Kun really didn't understand.
Chen Yao turned the pen in his hand and smiled: "I am still young, and realizing personal value is more important than finding a girlfriend."
It makes sense when you think about it.
Luo Kun smiled and nodded: "Based on your current conditions, girls who like you will come to you one after another!"
"It's okay if you only think about your lower body." Chen Yao said, "But real feelings are not that simple."
Luo Kun hummed, the world between two people is a lifetime thing, but you can't think about it with your lower body. It is too difficult to find someone who is not suitable to get along with.
Chen Yao took a sip of coffee and smiled: "Sometimes, I feel that the heroines in novels are more attractive to me."
This may be the gap between dreams and reality.
Luo Kun changed the topic and asked: "Now that your book is so popular, have you ever thought about giving up your current job and becoming a full-time writer?"
"Ahem" Chen Yao choked on his coffee and coughed twice.
¡°Lao Luo, you really don¡¯t know what my job is?
Clearing his throat, Chen Yao said with a serious face: "If I give up my current job to become a writer, is this not an exaggeration? Is it like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon?"
Luo Kun was surprised. He earns tens of millions per year from writing novels. This is also called sesame. How big should your watermelon be?
Until now, Luo Kun doesn¡¯t know what he does?
He smiled and asked: "What kind of watermelon is that of yours?"
"Check it online, the media has relevant introductions about me."
The contract is settled, the coffee is finished, and it¡¯s time to leave.
Chen Yao and Lao Luo said goodbye and walked out of the coffee shop.
Luo Kun immediately opened his laptop and searched online.
At this sight, Luo Kun's mouth instantly opened wide, and he was so surprised that his jaw almost dislocated!
There are many people with the same name, but only one is so handsome.

"Fuck!" Luo Kun exclaimed from the depths of his throat!
The shock in my heart is simply beyond words!
If this continues, wouldn¡¯t Chen Yao become a super big IP that spans the technology and entertainment industries? There has never been one before. Perhaps, he can become the first.
