The address of the website company is easy to find, but the author is not so easy to find.
After all, the website also protects the privacy of the author. Even if they know that person privately and meet each other for three meals every day, it is impossible to casually tell an outsider where the other person lives.
Including the author's information and appearance, unless the other party exposes it himself, the website will not disclose it to the outside world.
So Ye Shuang hit a snag, Lai spent a long time at the door of someone's house but didn't let anyone let go.
"Can't you really accommodate me?! I'll find a laughing prince..." Ye Shuang sighed. If she had known that the process was so troublesome, she should have talked to the boss directly.
Each position has different fields and different levels of authority. For example, the boss of the company can speak freely, but the editor is different. Some only contact the author, some are in charge of signing contracts, and some are responsible for the cooperation around the novel...
Ye Shuang came over and said she was looking for the boss, but he wasn't there, so she went to the editor instead. The girl at the front desk probably thought she was a newly signed writer under an editor, so she took her to the editorial team. Then I pointed to the Industry Cooperation Department. The Industry Cooperation Department heard that it was not mainly here to buy the copyright of existing novels but wanted to cooperate directly with the author. Then I pointed to the Contract Department. The Contract Department said that there was no contract template that Ye Shuang wanted. , for consultation, it is best to go to the legal department, the legal department said that we only care about appeals and don't care about these...
In this way, Ye Shuang wandered around the other party's company, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to him about the author's cooperation.
To put it bluntly, Ye Shuang was too whimsical. The multi-author captive breeding plan she proposed was not included in the other company's existing business expansion, and there was no ready-made regulation for any department to apply. Of course, she could only push people to departments that she thought should be suitable.
When Ye Shuang came back from the circle and realized that the matter of signing a contract with the author could not be settled in a short period of time, she immediately and decisively abandoned the complete plan. Instead, they asked to discuss the script with the Laughing Princes—at the very least, they must first win the film and television adaptation rights of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
"Film and TV adaptation?! Then you go to the Industry Cooperation Department... Huh?! Go out for dinner?!" The girl at the front desk asked in amazement, and then regretfully spread her hands to Ye Shuang: "Why don't you come again next time?! I remember that the editor of the cooperation department seems to be going to do other things in the afternoon, maybe she won't come back after dinner."
So again and again. There was an incident where Ye Shuanglai tried to make people laugh at the address of the princes at the beginning.
The little girl was also so dry that she was too embarrassed to pour water. I'm just here to deal with Ye Shuang. It's easy to talk about things with the company in the past. Most of them contacted the company online. How could they go directly to the door and deal with so many things? !
So the little girl also had a crying expression: "I really don't know the address of the laughing princes. Some authors who live in Shanghai do come to the company when they have time, but they won't invite me to sit at their house...you If you want to buy the copyright of a novel, go to the cooperation department, if you want to find someone, go to the editor in charge..." Stop pestering me.
Ye Shuang grieved secretly: "The laughing princes are responsible for editing..."
"He, he is sick today, so he is at home on leave." If the younger sister has the addresses of these people. She can't wait to find out Ye Shuang herself, anyone can stand up to her, anyway, she can't handle it by herself. Seeing that Ye Shuang was about to open his mouth again, the little girl almost jumped up in fright and hurriedly added: "But I can give you the number, and you should be able to contact him online."
Still can't, how can it be so shocking to ask face to face on the Internet? ! At that time, people would just say "I'll reply you when I have a reply", and Ye Shuang would have to wait blindly.
While scratching his heart and lungs, Luo Mingxin called to tease Brother Shuang: "Ye Shuang, you..."
"Luo Tianwang!!!" Ye Shuang had a flash of inspiration, and finally thought of another way: "I remember you bought a novel adaptation of Laughing Princes, right?!"
"Miss Ye?!" Luo Mingxin was also taken aback. Why did the phone change again? !
To say that these two people don't know what kind of shady business they are doing, and if one person disappears, he disappears completely, unless he sends an email online. Otherwise, you won't even be able to find anyone on your phone.
After calming down, Luo Mingxin and Shuangmei knew each other anyway, so it wasn't too strange: "Your partner told you?!"
He only asked his assistant to disclose to Brother Shuang that he bought the copyright of "Ai Song", so it is not surprising that Brother Shuang told Sister Shuang about this: "I did buy a novel of Laughing Princes." The right to adapt the film and television, and the script is ready, are you interested in taking on a role?!"
"Not interested!" Ye Shuang waved his hand, and after saying goodbye to the little girl at the front desk who was relieved as if he had escaped from the sky, he walked out of the door with the disappointed little brother Ye. While walking, he asked, "I just want to ask if you have the address or mobile phone of Prince Xiao. I also want to discuss cooperation with him here."
"Cooperation?!" Luo Mingxin pondered for a long while: "I remember that your job should be headhunting, right? Does anyone want to open a website. Want to poke fun at the princes and pick the leader?!"
Although Laughing Princes can be considered a great god-level writer, there is still a difference between gods and gods. Just like film and television works. Some people's works are popular but not popular, and some people's works are popular but not popular.
Laughing princes belong to the kind of people who are popular but not popular. This person focuses on historical stories and creates timelines. Sometimes there is a single protagonist and sometimes there are multiple protagonists. The most important thing is that the protagonist does not rebirth, travels through, no space, no cheats, no cheats. ... To put it bluntly, it is the kind that makes readers feel less involved, and even less enjoyable.
In addition, he is slow in writing novels, so if the peripheral income is not counted, the income from online subscriptions alone can earn an average of about 100,000 a year, which is incomparable with those great gods who have millions. So if it is really a new website that wants to poach a town station writer, it is obviously not suitable for a brand-name character like Laughing Prince. He can at most advertise the standard of the website, but he can't bring considerable traffic at all.
Ye Shuang also laughed after hearing Luo Mingxin's words: "How dare I poach someone's company face to face?! I'm here to hunt for screenwriters."
"Screenwriter?!" Luo Mingxin wondered, "What's there to dig for? I remember that the order you scammed in Jinghu City seemed to say that it was 50,000 yuan."
Why does everyone think that poaching screenwriters doesn't make money? ! Ye Shuang was also surprised: "I'm talking about the dividend system. According to domestic industry prices, screenwriters are not calculated according to remuneration but based on dividends. According to the level of screenwriting and themes they are good at, a script can get 5% to 10% of the total investment. %, 1% of which is my dividend, for example, if I invest 10 million in a movie, I can get 100,000... Of course, it’s hard to say about sitcoms, it mainly depends on the type and quality of the script.”
Foreign screenwriters actually get more money, about 7% to 15%. Domestic screenwriters with a dividend system are still less, and more of them get cash. Even with cash, about 30% of the final payment is usually not available.
Ye Shuang acts as an intermediary signer, so it is her business to pursue the remuneration. This not only guarantees the interests of the screenwriter but also pays dividends for herself. For Tianmo Media, it solves their most troublesome script problem, which is a win-win situation... Why wouldn't she do such a lucrative job? !
Suppose she recruits five long-term screenwriters, and these five people sign the contract for five years for the first time. As long as these five people add up to produce a movie script every year, Ye Shuang is equivalent to sitting at home and earning tens or even hundreds of thousands a year for nothing. Not to mention adding other small investments or TV scripts.
Because she is not an intermediary in Han Chu's talent pool, she only needs to give a small part of the money to Han Chu.
Of course, in five years' time, if everyone doesn't want her as an intermediary, they can directly cooperate with the media company, but it's their own business to pursue dividends at that time, and Ye Shuang will not be responsible.
According to the current situation that domestic screenwriters cannot guarantee their remuneration, there should not be too many people who would leave Ye Shuang alone.
"It's only a few hundred thousand." In terms of Luo Mingxin's salary as an actor, he naturally doesn't like this kind of price, but Luo Mingxin also knows that a new screenwriter can be considered a good salary, let alone Ye Shuang's line of work is equal to Whether it is killing or burying, as long as there are no personal safety issues for the talents who are signed out, all the work does not need her to supervise, as long as they wait for the lottery to be done: "It's easy for you to find a laughing prince. He is a graduate student in the History Department of Hatch University." , called Zhu Houde, mobile phone... I don’t remember clearly, I have to ask the assistant, if there is anything, I will send it to you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Luo Mingxin asked his assistant to find the laughing princes on the phone while wondering: "Strange, who is she looking for a screenwriter for?! Forgot to ask." But forget it, anyway, it's none of my business.
After a while, Ye Shuang's mobile phone received the mobile phone number of Xiao Zhuhou.
After the call was made, the man on the other side answered with a steady-sounding male voice, but he seemed a bit inarticulate. Basically, Ye Shuang said three or five sentences before the other party simply replied with a few words.
After explaining the general situation, the other party was also free, so the two agreed to talk again near the school after an hour.
Ye Shuang hung up the phone and took Little Brother Ye to find a shop for lunch. After eating, he hired a taxi and went straight to hatch eggs. After arriving at the place, Ye Shuang began to regret that this famous university was really different from the third-rate university he graduated from. A Daxue Road outside the school goes straight to the square. There is a whole street of food to choose from, and there are several authentic international food.
"How about... have another meal?!" Ye Shuang asked Ye Xiaodi for his opinion.
"... Please let me go!" Ye Xiaodi's stomach is full of food and he hasn't digested it, and now he can't eat it even if he salivates, especially when he smells the food after he is full, he feels like throwing up.
Ye Shuang regretted: "Forget it, we'll go back after the contract is negotiated."
Sending a text message to inquire, the Laughing Prince happened to be on Daxue Road, so Ye Shuang grabbed Little Brother Ye and looked for him according to the address on the text message, and after a while, he saw an open-air table and chairs.
