Chapter 503 Game of Thrones Signed: Su Yang's New Script
Early the next morning, before Bal arrived, Zheng Yi was the first to arrive at the hotel.
"Hello, Mr. Su..."
Zheng Yi spoke in English. Although Zheng Yi is Chinese, he has been speaking English since childhood, so his Chinese is not very good. Zheng Yi's ancestors did not speak Mandarin, so English is more convenient for communication.
"Hello……"
Su Yang was actually a little surprised by Zheng Yi's quick arrival. He knew about Random House, but the fact that the editor from Random House arrived in France just one day after Game of Thrones was updated was truly impressive.
"Mr. Su, I'm here this time to sign the publishing and distribution contract for your novel, 'Game of Thrones.' We at Random House have strong publishing and distribution capabilities around the world..."
Zheng Yi elaborated on the strengths of his company. Random House has strong publishing and distribution capabilities around the world; that's its strength.
"I know what you're here for. I'm not a big fan of trouble, but I'm willing to cooperate with your company. Let me first tell you my conditions! In addition to the Chinese publishing rights, I can also give you the publishing rights for other language versions. Also, 10% royalties. If you agree, we can cooperate. If not, forget it. I'm not short of money..."
Su Yang directly stated his conditions. Su Yang had his own confidence, and Su Yang's confidence was that he had no shortage of money. Even if this book could make a lot of money, for Su Yang, it might just be the numbers in his bank account.
Besides, the conditions I proposed weren't excessive. Ten percent royalties was a very normal price, not even too high.
As for the distribution of the Chinese copyright, Su Yang naturally wouldn't give it to Random House. China was Su Yang's home base, and after the Chinese version of this book was released in the future, with Su Yang's fame, this book would definitely be a hit in China.
Zheng Yi was stunned when he heard Su Yang's conditions. These conditions were not high, but they were completely within his budget. He had thought that dealing with Su Yang would be very difficult. After all, many powerful writers in the United States are very demanding.
Before Zheng Yi came, he was prepared to be severely ripped off, but he did not expect that the conditions proposed by Su Yang were not harsh at all and were completely within his authority.
"Mr. Su, no problem. We can absolutely agree to your terms. I'll have the company's legal department draft the contract right now."
Smoothly, smoother than ever before.
"Okay, happy cooperation..."
Su Yang nodded. What Su Yang really cared about for the novel "Game of Thrones" was the adaptation of the copyright.
TV series, movies, and even future games are where the big money is made. Of course, novel publishing can also make a lot of money.
Now that Random House has signed the contract, they will definitely promote the novel globally. Once Random House begins its global promotion, the novel's fame will skyrocket.
This was a win-win situation, and Su Yang didn't want to get upset over a small profit. Besides, there were many high-quality novels in the system. If this cooperation went well, he could get even more profit from his own novels next time. Thinking about the novels in the system, Su Yang felt like they were a treasure trove.
"Hello, Su..."
After Zheng Yi left, Bal quickly came to the hotel. Seeing Su Yang, Bal hurried over.
"Mr. Bal, it's nice to see you again. I'm sure you've already gotten to know me and my company yesterday. I have a script here. If you're willing to be the director, I'd be happy to invest. As for your salary, don't worry. I'm willing to give you 2 million euros for this film..."
Su Yang said directly, and upon hearing the reward, Bal laughed.
"Thank you, Sue. You must be God-sent to save me. Can I see the script?"
Bal couldn't help asking, Bal wanted to see the script now. As a director, Bal had to read the script before he could make sure whether he could make the movie well.
"no problem……"
Su Yang directly handed the script printed today to Bal.
After looking at the name, Bal opened the script and read it carefully. In the hotel cafe, Su Yang was not in a hurry. He drank coffee while waiting for Bal to finish reading the entire script.
Bal looked at it very seriously, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed from the initial seriousness, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
It was unknown how long it took for Bal to finish reading the script. After reading it, Bal looked up at Su Yang in surprise.
"Su, this script is great. I like this kind of script. Don't worry, I will definitely make this movie well. I thought you would let me shoot some special effects commercial blockbusters. To be honest, I'm not good at those. I like artistic movies..."
Bal said excitedly. This script was beyond Bal's expectations. He thought Su Yang gave him a commercial blockbuster, but now it was completely different.
This is a very heartwarming film, which is exactly what Barr likes. It moves the audience through the story, and the wonderfulness of this story also surprised Barr.
This script was so well written, better than any script he had ever encountered before. Compared to this script, Bal felt that his own script was just so-so.
Barr wasn't particularly pedantic, he just liked telling better stories.
"Since you like it, then I'll leave this movie to you. You can take a closer look at the script. Someone will contact you in the next two days."
Su Yang smiled and shook hands with Bal.
"Thank you, Sue. Um, could you give me an advance on some of my salary? I'm almost unable to pay the rent..."
Bal said a little embarrassedly.
"No problem, I can pay the salary first."
Su Yang nodded. He had researched Bal last night and knew he was a decent person. As for the payment, Su Yang didn't care. It was only two million euros, which wasn't a small amount when converted into RMB. But for Su Yang and Qingyao Media, it wasn't a big deal.
Bal took the script and left. He walked out of the hotel, looking at the sunny weather outside. Bal was in a particularly good mood. The two million yuan salary would allow Bal to live without worries for a long time.
"I will definitely succeed this time."
Looking at the script in his hand, Bal is eager to film this story. Bal likes this story and believes that it can move many people.
Bal believed that after this film's success, he would be even more successful than he had been in his prime. He was also sincerely grateful to Su Yang. Furthermore, he was also filled with curiosity about China, a mysterious country he had never visited.
