If the novel published on the reading website is filmed, should the copyright fee be shared equally with the website? Or how should it be distributed?

Answer 1

If a novel was published on Dubu, the website would usually have to split the copyright fees equally with the website. This was because the author had reached an agreement with the website when the novel was published. The website obtained the copyright of the novel and sold it to the film company or producer. Therefore, if the novel was made into a movie, the author would have to share the copyright fees with the website.

The specific distribution method may vary according to the country and region. Under normal circumstances, the website would use 50% or 75% of the copyright fees to pay the film company's copyright fees, and the remaining part would go to the author. However, the author could also negotiate and agree on other distribution methods, such as using a portion of the copyright fee to pay for the website's royalties or to use it for other projects.

It should be noted that if the novel was turned into an independent film or television series, the author might also need to consider other expenses such as production costs, distribution costs, publicity costs, etc. to ensure that his profits were maximized.
