How would the author pay for his novel to be turned into a movie?
The price of an author who made a movie out of his novel depended on many factors, such as the influence of the novel, the audience of the movie, the difficulty of adapting the novel, and so on. If the novel was very popular, the price of the film adaptation rights could be very high. The author may be willing to name the main character, character, or scene of the movie after him and have the right to adapt the movie. In addition, the author could also request the director, screenwriter, cameraman, actors, and other personnel to sign the film. If the novel was more influential, the price of the movie adaptation rights might be higher. The author may request a percentage of the movie's global box office earnings or a percentage of the movie's global copyright earnings. If the difficulty of adapting the novel was high, the author's price might be reduced accordingly. The author may request the right to adapt the film but may not necessarily receive the copyright of the film. In addition, the author could choose to give up the adaptation rights or sell them to other companies. In short, the price of the author who made his novel into a movie depended on many factors and needed to be negotiated according to the actual situation.
