" Di di-"
After he added her, the other party immediately accepted his friend request and sent him a few messages at once, which surprised He Zhendong.
"Hello, are you the author of Battle Through the Heavens, He Zhendong?”
"I'm the chief editor of Qidian novel network, Rose!”
"May I ask if our Qidian novel network can sign a contract with your Battle Through the Heavens?”
Looking at the three messages, He Zhendong couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that this woman named Rose was a little impatient. He hadn't even said anything, but she had already said a lot.
"I am He Zhenzhen."
He Zhendong smiled and replied with four words.
He didn't use the pen name " Heavenly Silkworm Potato " but " He Zhenzhen." The three words " He Zhenzhen " were the same as his real name, He Zhendong.
"Hello, He Zhenzhen. May I ask if our Qidian novel network can sign a contract with your Battle Through the Heavens?”
Rose repeated the same sentence.
Normally, she wouldn't be in charge of signing a contract. She was the chief editor of the Qidian novel network. It was impossible for her to personally ask about such matters.
Not to mention the editor-in-chief, even if a rare good book appeared, it was already a good thing for the editor-in-chief to appear.
However, facing Battle Through the Heavens and He Zhendong, she had no choice but to do so. Who asked this book to be so popular as soon as it was published? It broke all the records on the Feilu novel network.
No other book had ever achieved such results!
When the editor-in-chief told her about this, she and all the editors in the editorial department started reading this book together. They wanted to know what kind of book could achieve such heaven-defying results.
When they started reading it seriously, the entire editorial department became silent. Then, there were waves of cheers. It was really well written! It was too attractive!
Not to mention others, even all the editors in the Qidian novel network's editorial department became Li Yi's readers after reading such a divine book. They became his loyal fans and all of them started to tip him like crazy.
Rosette had even sent three Floating Red Coins in one go. Three 100,000 Qidian Coins were equivalent to three Alliance Leaders being rewarded in one go!
Due to the special nature of Battle Through the Heavens, all the chief editors were vying to personally sign the contract with He Zhendong. The editors who were responsible for signing the contract were silent.
It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but the problem was that since all the bosses had spoken, could they still fight with the bosses?
Don't you want to work anymore?
To be honest, although they didn't guide him to dig out such a divine book, it would be a very prestigious thing if he could sign such a book in his hands.
In view of this situation, plus the fact that Rose herself was a reader of this book, she decided to personally go and discuss the signing of the contract with He Zhendong.
Moreover, as He Zhendong's loyal fan, she also wanted to understand the author who could write such a divine book.
This was why she was so excited after He Zhendong added her on QQ and sent a series of messages.
"Sure!"
He Zhendong smiled lightly and replied with two words.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!”
Rose quickly thanked him and continued,"He Zhenzhen, since you agree to sign the contract, I'll send you the electronic version of the contract now. You can print it out and send it to us directly.”
He Zhendong said," Let's not rush to sign the contract first. Let me make it clear first. If you agree, we'll sign the contract. If you don't agree, then we won't sign the contract first."”
"Tell me, what do you want to say? No matter what your request is, I can agree to it.”
Rose said without hesitation.
"It's like this. I found the contract for your Qidian novel network on the internet. After taking a look, I found out that not only did you sign the electronic copyright of the novel, but you also signed the simplified Chinese copyright, game adaptation rights, and film adaptation rights. If these copyrights are sold, I can only get 50% of the profits.”
He Zhendong didn't bother to be polite with Rose. Instead, he told her everything he knew.
After a while, Rose replied,""Yes, our website has all kinds of resources that can help you sell these copyrights. After you sell these copyrights, our website naturally needs to get a portion of the profits.”
He Zhendong smiled and typed with both hands. He replied,"As far as I know, your website only has resources in the complex and simple styles. As for the game adaptation rights, film adaptation rights, and a series of other resources, you don't actually have any, right?”
"Yes, you know very well that at the moment, the novels on our website have not sold any other copyrights other than the traditional and simplified Chinese copyrights. However, this does not mean that we do not have the resources to help you sell them.”
Rose's reply paused for a moment.
While agreeing that He Zhendong was right about some things, he tactfully avoided this question.
But I still have a good eye for reading. This book is definitely going to be popular. This is the first peerless divine book to appear in a web novel! It was not a problem for such a good book to have over 100 million views. It might not be long before he could be like Jin Yong and sell the film adaptation rights. Moreover, he would sell them at a high price. If he signed them to the website, it would be too much of a loss!”
"I don't care if your website has resources in this area, nor do I want to know. I'm sure you know very well that my book has just been published on your website for a day, and it has already exceeded a million views. It has reached more than 30,000 collectors and more than 1,000 people have tipped it! The total amount of tips had already exceeded 80 million! If the 80 million reward was converted into Chinese dollars, it would be 800,000 Chinese dollars!”
He Zhendong smiled and replied to Rose,"A new book that has only been published for a day has achieved such results. Do you think I still need the promotional resources on your website? I believe that it won't be long before my book appears on Weibo's hot topics and Tianya's hot topics. Ordinary authors need your website's recommendations, but I don't!”
"This…"
Rose suddenly didn't know how to reply because He Zhendong was telling the truth.
She was even worried that if she couldn't reach an agreement with He Zhendong, he would delete the manuscript on the Qidian novel network and move to another place. Such a divine book would become popular no matter where it went.
If this book left the Qidian novel network and went to another website, then this website would definitely rely on the popularity brought by He Zhendong's Battle Through the Heavens to become the number one novel website in the industry, far surpassing the Qidian novel network!
At the thought of this, her heart began to waver. Although He Zhendong's book might bring a lot of profits to the website, these profits were actually secondary. The most important thing was the opportunity!
With the help of this Battle Through the Heavens, the popularity of the Qidian novel network soared once again, reaching a new peak!
Once the Qidian novel network reached such a peak, the profits would naturally follow. This was the long-term benefit!
"How about this, I'll get straight to the point. First of all, your Qidian novel network should draft a new contract for me, an exclusive contract that is truly sincere!”
He Zhendong typed on the keyboard and said,"In this exclusive contract, I will only sign an electronic copyright agreement with your website. In terms of electronic copyright sales, whether it is readers 'donations or tips, I want 80%! As for all other copyrights, be it the rights to the simplified and complex style, film and television adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, or other copyrights, they all belong to me! All the profits obtained will belong to me! The website has no right to interfere or get a share of the profits! If you agree, then we can sign a contract. Otherwise, I refuse!”
Seeing the words that He Zhendong typed, Rose, who was already mentally prepared, was still stunned.
This was the first time she had encountered something like this. It was the first time an author had requested that the website only sign their electronic copyright and that the rest of the copyright belonged to him. More importantly, the website could only get 20% of the revenue from the readers 'donations and tips. This was also the first time!
Of course, compared to Li Yi's other copyrights, the revenue from readers 'donations and tips was nothing.
Even though the website's previous contract only allowed the author to get 50% of the profits from the electronic aspect, the other half would go to the website.
Judging from the current trend of Battle Through the Heavens, the profits earned from the tips and the books on the website alone were likely to exceed the total sales of the other books on the website.
However, as an editor-in-chief with foresight and insight, in her opinion, this money could not even be compared to other copyrights!
"That's right, that's the way! This is momentum!"
Hell King cheered loudly." We can't give away the copyrights. At most, we can just find another novel website to publish the books. We can't give in to the bottom line!”
Li Yi smiled. He knew that as long as Rose was not crazy, she would not reject him.
After a while, Rose replied,""You want 80% of the profits from the electronic copyright. I can agree to this now, but the other copyrights will belong to you. I don't have the authority to do so.”
"It's okay. Since we can't come to an agreement, I'll change to another website to publish the book. I believe other websites will agree to my simple request.”
Li Yi chuckled and replied directly.
There was no chance to bargain with Rose.
Seeing Li Yi's straightforward reply, even Rose, who was already mentally prepared, smiled bitterly. She had wanted to fight for more. Even if she couldn't get half of the sales of the other copyrights, just like the electronic copyright, she was willing to get 20%.
However, Li Yi obviously wouldn't give her such a chance.
Rose took a deep breath and replied,""Can you wait for me for a few minutes?"
"Do you need to think about it?"
Li Yi knew that Rose had already relented.
Rose replied," No, I can directly agree to the electronic copyright. However, I don't have the authority to do so for other copyrights. I need to consult our website's general manager before I can give you a final answer.”
"Alright, I'll give you five minutes.”
Li Yi replied calmly.
"Five minutes? Can you give me a little more time?”
Seeing that time was running out, Rose could not help but ask.
Li Yi replied,"No!" My time is very precious now and I don't have much time to waste, so you have to give me an answer as soon as possible.”
He wasn't joking. After all, he was in the Phoenix Training Camp right now. He couldn't just sit in front of the computer and wait for Rose's reply.
Seeing Li Yi's reply, Rose pursed her lips. She did not say anything else. Instead, she took out her phone and called the general manager of Feilu novel network, telling him all the problems she had discussed with Li Yi.
She thought that it would not be easy to convince the general manager, but who knew that after the general manager heard it, he would directly say that he would agree to draft a new exclusive contract!
"Alright, Mr. Li Yi, our general manager has already agreed to your conditions. We will only sign the electronic copyright with you. We will only be able to come up with the new exclusive contract tomorrow. We will send it to you then.”
Rose sent the answer over via text.
"Okay, then we'll sign the contract tomorrow.”
Li Yi replied with a smile.
"Alright, Mr. Li Yi. I hope we can work together happily!”
After everything was settled and the contract was signed, Battle Through the Heavens would be the exclusive novel of the Qidian novel network. Rose's lips curled into a touching smile.
"Not bad, kid. I didn't expect you to have a talent for negotiation. Looking at you chatting with this Rose just now, I feel that you don't look like a 20-year-old young man at all. Instead, you look like an old fox who has been in society for decades.”
King Yama patted Li Yi's shoulder and said with a smile.
Li Yi smiled lightly and said," Now, here's the problem. If it's a contract, how am I supposed to print it? I don't think I can send it out!”
"It's a small matter to print the contract. We have a printer in the training camp. We can help you with that. It's just that we can't send the contract.”
Yuan Bao patted his chest, indicating that Li Yi would have no problem printing the contract.
As for sending the contract, that was a big problem. They were all instructors, so they definitely couldn't leave the Fire Phoenix Training Camp during this period of time. It was also impossible for them to call a courier to come here to receive the contract. This was a desolate mountain, so where would a courier come from?
