Chapter 62: Buy out Swordsman

After Tang Jun listened to Liu Wei, he said: "One million words to say that the current number of words that are already normal online works, the total number of words is already too small. And there are so many in the Swordsman The free chapters and the remaining fee chapters are almost not too many. From the perspective of network distribution, I am afraid that the company is already unprofitable and can only switch to the physical market.
But what is the current physical market, everyone knows.
In the past two years, the overall form of the domestic economy has been sluggish. The physical book market is sluggish. In the past few years, the circulation of millions of works has basically disappeared. Recently, the market can sell 100,000,000, it is already the top ten hot books in the TOP.
Judging from my past experience, this new author can sell a total of 57,000, but I am afraid that it is his limit. It is excellent in quality and can sell 70,000 sets.
After a million-word work, it will be about four or five copies per set. Plus the benefits of the website and the wireless side... let me calculate, um... the overall text gross income should not exceed one million yuan.
Even if we buy out the price of the top-ranking work of the newcomer, then the buyout price should not be higher than 500,000 yuan, or about 500 yuan, within this category. Um... From my point of view, it should be roughly the same!

Yuan Bingwen nodded his head and turned to Liu Wei. He said: "Xiao Liu! I know that you are a fan of this author. Can you talk about this author and works from other angles? ?"
Liu Weidao: "I am the deputy general who looks like this! Swordsman, because the author broke on the platform, I recently went to the Dragon Network to follow the author's live broadcast.
The author's popularity at the Dragon Network is very high. Not only has an independent program channel, but also has the right to recommend the home page, and now is one of the dragon's gold anchors.
Now the author's total number of people paying attention to Feilong.com has reached hundreds of thousands. When he is online live, as long as he goes online, hundreds of thousands of people are normal, and I think he is still in the ascendant.
I calculated the author's income situation. Of course, I am not the anchor, but the fuzzy calculation is an estimate. I estimate that the author's monthly income is less than one million, and can only be high or low. It can be said that in terms of the income level of the author, among all the authors of our platform, it is already a high-income, top-ranking group.
Judging from the quality of the works of Swordsman, the author's creative techniques are exquisite, and the old strokes are in full control. The rhythm of almost every climax is in control, and the plot is perfect. Judging from this, it is unlikely that the author's work will be biased later.
According to my personal inference, I am afraid that this book can ignore the limitations of the category and interpret it from a classic perspective. Therefore, I am very optimistic about the future of film and television in the works.
However, the author has now sold the live video rights of the voice and video version to Feilong.com.
I inquired about it, the authorization method is life, and the authorized amount is one million. But this is only an authorization. It does not include his salary, basic salary, share and bonus. In other words, although the author authorizes copyright to Feilong.com, the joint benefits are still owned by the author himself. The content and opinions I know are roughly the same!

Yuan Bingwen nodded and said: "Listen to you, this author is already an author of millions of monthly income! It is indeed somewhat unexpected.
This is a smile! I also read that the author did write very well. The style is exquisite, the rhythm is strong, and the scale is also first-class.
Just now, the editor-in-chief of Tang analyzed from the normal market perspective, I agree. According to experience, if I analyze it, it is basically consistent with the idea of ​​Editor-in-Chief Tang.
But there is an exception in this case. The author already has a certain audience in the platform outside of us. Be aware that fans are a reasonable resource that can be transformed into purchasing power.
The author's data in our background has recently been reviewed. Although the Swordsman has not been on the shelves, the author has received a lot of rewards. There are more than 800 accounts at the main level of Guangmeng, plus several accounts at other levels. Swordsman’s backstage light rewards the total amount, which is about one million.
A large part of the reward account, or newly established, I think these resources are very likely to come from the Dragon Network. It can be seen that the fans of this author are a very sticky fan.
Since the author is an author with a high audience and fan viscous, the total return of the entity is millions of dollars, and it seems that it is a little underestimated.
According to my speculation, after the release of this Swordsman, the sales scale should be between 300,000 and 500,000. The total income should be no less than four to five million.
So from my point of view, this author, called octopus, is very important for promoting the sales of new clients and physical books on our platform.

Tang Jun and Liu Wei, while listening and nodding, felt that Yuan Bingwen had a very reasonable analysis.
Yuan Bingwen took the water on the table and took a sip of water. He continued: "According to the existing future potential of the work! Then the net profit of four or five million is the existing value of the author's work. According to the company's tradition. Mode, generally five or five points. Some excellent authors can enjoy four or six points. That is to say, we can raise the price of three million yuan to buy out the physical copyright of Swordsman. What do you think?"
Tang Jun indulged, saying: "The deputy general analysis makes sense! But if the author really has a big author of a million-month income level, then I want to see it, I am afraid that the benefits of the three million, it is difficult to impress him to sign us. The physical sales platform.
Because of the author's current total income, the author is fully capable of independently publishing physical books of Swordsman. Earn five million, after all, it is more than earning three million.
Of course, this also includes the fact that the author really understands the publishing and sales process of physical books. If the author is a white hat, it would be even worse. There are often authors who put their work out of the sky, if he also has this idea. He is likely to think that he is issuing a Swordsman, and his total profit should be more than 10 million. If this is the case! Things are not that simple.

Yuan Bingwen nodded and said: "The thing you said, of course, is also a common phenomenon in the literary world at the moment. There are indeed many authors who are not very clear about the issuance process and the scale of profits. But in fact, in fact, three million The buyout price of Yuan has reached the price of three yuan per word. This price is already the price of the domestic first-line writer. For a new author, it is indeed unprecedented.
What's more, we think that the possibility of issuance is only an estimate. In the unlikely event that this Swordsman is pushed to the market, the response will be flat. At that time, we may face huge losses. We have not encountered such a thing. So for the moment, the buyout price of three million is already a high-risk price. For us, it is already the price red line.

After Yuan Bingwen finished, the room was silent for a while...
Liu Wei thought for a moment and said: "Yuan deputy general ~EbookFREE.me~ Otherwise, we still signed the agreement with the author to divide the entity. Since the general author is not very clear about the publishing situation, then the agreement is divided. It can fully satisfy the author's expectations and imagination of the future prospects of the work.
When it is time to sell more, the author naturally earns a lot. Selling less, he knows what the physical book market is like, and we are just being blamed.
Moreover, we can add a part of the supplementary agreement to the agreement to spread the issue cost risk to the final share. I believe this is a good way for an author who doesn't want to buy out and wants to issue it. In the event that the market sales of Swordsman is hot, then it is not a disadvantage for the company.

Yuan Bingwen heard the words, um, a nod, nodded, meditated, said: "I see this! Go back and prepare. Go to see the author tomorrow. If you can, I still insist on the advice, the best. The network and entities that can buy three million jobs have been commissioned for ten years.
If the author does not agree to buy out, then try to talk about the divided parts. In fact, I am also very interested in the film and television copyright of Swordsman. If the author agrees, the company is willing to pay a three-million plus one million price to buy a ten-year network entity distribution rights and film and television copyright.
It is necessary to know that most of the excellent online novels and TV copyrights now sell hundreds of thousands. It is rare to sell millions of film and television copyrights. So you better advise the author to think more!

Tang Jun and Liu Wei carefully recorded the words of Yuan Bingwen in order to avoid forgetting.
