After Wang Jian hung up the phone, he sat on the sofa, thinking about what to do next.

Selling advertising copyrights will definitely make money.

But a contract must be signed.

When signing a contract, it is best to have professionals such as lawyers to participate.

However, I don’t know how good the lawyers are and whether the fees are expensive or not.

Also, there are so many lawyers in the United States, who knows which lawyers are good at copyright?

Wang Jian raised his head and glanced at the time.

It's 11:30 p.m.

It's too late today. I'll go to the law firm tomorrow and ask about the advertising authorization issues of the novel.

While thinking, he put on his clothes and prepared to work in the community.

Today, community labor is as usual except that Lily changes to the sign-in officer because she wants to accompany Gene and her parents.

Everyone was still lazy and kept till the end of the labor.

When Wang Jian returned home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

After eating something casually, he began to sort out the "Arcane God" in his mind again.

This novel is much longer than "I Am a Great Master".

The total length of "The Great Master" is only more than 400,000 words, while the first volume of "Archae" is only more than 300,000 words.

Wang Jian sorted out and suddenly realized something was wrong.

This story...

Well…

It's so slow to warm up!

He picked up the "I Am a Great Master" at hand and compared it with the manuscript of "The Arcane God" and confirmed this even more.

"The Great Master" is a pleasure to come up, but it is invincible when you go out.

Pretending to be x-slapping in the face, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, etc., although it is a little stiff, it is very friendly to new readers.

However, "The Arcane God" first uses various classical music in the real world and few magic theories as introductions to introduce the worldview of the entire book.

Although there are also plots that use classical music as a tool to build X and penetrate into the upper class.

but…

Classical music audience,

Too few.

It might be better to switch to pop music.

But if it were pop music...

In his mind, Wang Jian thought of a hidden magician with a very gentlemanly style and sang "beat    it" on the stage.

Then, it was moved by many medieval European nobles and church members...

Anyway, he had a toothache.

But if you don’t change it, can this attract readers to read?

You know, most readers who know themselves because of "I am a great master" don't have that much patience.

They only pursue coolness and novelty.

The gorgeous magic, magical abilities and a very cool face-slapping plot.

Wang Jian scratched his hair hard, and he had a headache.

So, what about completely deleting the first part?

After careful study, he shook his head again.

The original author of this book has a very exquisite structure design.

If it is completely deleted, then the subsequent plot will not be able to unfold.

After nearly two hours of struggling, Wang Jian still couldn't find a suitable way to modify it.

He lay on the bed, thinking hard, but he still fell asleep.

This time I slept until morning.

When the morning sun shines into the house, it is already past 8 o'clock in the morning.

After Wang Jian got up and ate something casually, hesitated on whether to continue to adapt "The Arcane God".

Then, I decided to find a law firm to consult the issue of advertising authorization.

Since I have less contact with this aspect, I asked a few prisoners when I was working in the community yesterday.

They unanimously recommended a small law firm in Brooklyn.

A law firm that is popular with all kinds of criminals?

While thinking in a narrow mind, Wang Jian stepped into the law firm in a low office building.

After consulting for the charging standards, he chose a young lawyer with a relatively low fee.

It's not that he is stingy with lawyer fees.

Mainly, lawyers with higher fees in this law firm are better at eliminating criminals.

The only one who is very familiar with copyright is this new young man who works as a copyright agent.

After paying $20 per hour for consultation, Wang Jian walked into a narrow office.

I saw a young white man with black hair sitting upright, looking at Wang Jian with a serious face.

"Hello, I'm Tom Sauls, a lawyer and part-time copyright agent. Do you need to consult copyright issues?"

"Uh, yes." Wang Jian pondered, "I wrote a novel called "I am the Great Master". Currently, Hongmeng Advertising Company wants advertising authorization for this novel. I don't know how much licensing fee should be claimed and how to sign the contract."

"I am the Great Master" is yours? Are you the King?" Tom asked in surprise.

This is,

Have you met a book fan?

Wang Jian nodded a little joyfully, feeling that the book fans would feel a little intimate with the author.

Tom bit his back teeth and looked at the Asian boy in front of him.

It was this person who made himself lose his job in the publishing house.

But then, I thought of my current identity.

He took a few deep breaths, and under Wang Jian's curious gaze, he took out a newest version of the New York bestseller rankings.

Then, I will give Wang Jian a guide to the ranking list.

“I am the Great Master” is currently ranked 15th.”

Wang Jian read the newspaper and nodded, then heard the young man named Tom across the street continue, "The seventh-ranked book has been ranked in this ranking for ten consecutive weeks."

"The adaptation rights of the TV series have been sold to CBS for $700,000, and are limited to ten years. Within ten years, regardless of whether CBS is filmed or not, the copyright of the TV series will be accepted into the original author."

"And your "I Am the Great Master" ranks fifteenth, and what the other party wants is advertising authorization, so according to the industry's unspoken rules."

"That is, for every one drop in the bestseller list, the copyright grant price will be reduced by 20,000 yuan. The advertising price is 1/2 of the TV series price. Then, based on ten years, the advertising authorization price of "I Am the Great Master" is US$270,000."

"And advertisements authorized based on popularity will also reduce as their popularity decreases."

"So the same, the higher the popularity, the higher the authorization fee that year."

"So, according to the industry formula, you have to use it for the first year," Tom pressed the calculator for a while and then said: "90,000 dollars."

"How many?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

"90,000 dollars." Tom replied again.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Jian took out a $20 bill and handed it to Tom, saying, "Can I make a call here?"

Tom took the dollar and made a gesture of asking for advice.

Wang Jian dialed the phone number named Linen.

"Hello, this is the author of "I am the Great Master", Wang Jian. Are you Linen?"

"I'm." The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with surprise, saying, "Are you going to our company to negotiate?"

"I just ask, how long will it take for you to authorize and how much will it cost?" Wang Jian asked bluntly.

“Well, our current offer is $60,000, a year of authorization.”

"Oh, then I'll consider it again." Wang Jian replied.

Then, he hung up the phone.
