How much money can a novel be made into a film and television drama?
The amount of money an author could get from a novel being made into a film or television series depended on many factors, such as the popularity of the novel, the degree of film adaptation, the cooperation between the author and the film adaptation company, and so on. Generally speaking, the author of the novel could get two parts of the money from the copyright fee and the adaptation fee. The copyright fee was a one-time fee based on the adaptation rights of the novel, and the adaptation fee was based on the degree of adaptation of the novel and the effect of the film and television. If the adaptation of the novel was more extensive or the effect of the film and television was better, the author could get a higher adaptation fee. In addition, the author could also cooperate with the film adaptation company to participate in all aspects of the film production, such as scriptwriter, director, photography, actor selection, and so on. If the author had high professional skills and experience in these areas, they could get a higher salary. Therefore, the amount of money an author could get from a novel that was made into a film or television series varied from person to person. Many factors needed to be considered.
