Daily American Drama Chapter 55: Sorry to disturb

　 Random House.

　　 Chief Editor's Office.

　　 "I think we can talk about publishing first."

　　 Adam declined Jack Cerf's submission and got to the point.

　　 After all, I only request manuscripts and don't talk about publishing. That's a hooliganism.

　　Although he has the original manuscript, in the face of the capital represented by Random House, he does not hesitate to try to figure out the opponent with the greatest malice.

　　 In the previous life, the genuine ones can't do the pirated ones, and the genuine ones can't do the high-fake ones.

　　 And here is the United States, the power of capital is infinite.

　　If the benefits are large enough, copyright protection is just a joke.

　　How to implement copyright protection?

　　 file a lawsuit!

　　 You who have no money and no power, facing the opposing party's luxurious lawyers, if the opposing party randomly quotes any legal provisions, it can drag you into the lawsuit and make you hard to tell.

　　 In this process, the most likely thing is that you have no money to continue to ask a lawyer to sue.

　　 And even if you succeed in the prosecution in the long prosecution career, the biggest beneficiary will not be you, but the lawyers of both parties.

　　Because they are all divided into proportions, the more lawsuits they fight, the more they demand.

　　 It is even possible that you lose the case, even if you are God, what everyone knows is the truth.

　　 Otherwise, there will not be so many criminals in American TV dramas, so arrogantly walking out of the court, in front of countless media, a serious nonsense, so that the popularity is exploded but helpless.

　　New York Pizza Hut, let's find out?

　　 You need to know that almost all judges in the U.S. switch careers from professional lawyers, and most of their relatives and friends are lawyers. Naturally, they consciously or unconsciously maintain the interests of the lawyer class.

　　For lawyers, it is best to file a lawsuit when there is nothing to do, and a small lawsuit becomes a big lawsuit.

　　 Otherwise, it is a very clear thing, why the judge allows the lawyers to talk nonsense, adjourn the court at every turn, and then procrastinate again and again, for several decades.

　　 Lawyers and doctors in charge of life and death can be called representatives of the middle class. Law schools, like medical schools, start with undergraduates and above. You think it's a joke?

　　 It is never stupidity that covers the eyes, but profit!

　　 Therefore, to be cautious, what Adam handed him was only the content of the first thirty chapters.

　　 You must know that in the past life, the Lord of Mysteries released a certain point in the "Golden Three Chapters", which means that the opening three chapters must quickly grab the reader.

　　 Now Adam gave the first thirty chapters, enough for the other party to judge the quality of the Lord of Mysteries.

"Ha ha."

　　 Jack Cerf smiled: "Of course you can."

　　 The Lord of Mysteries has a magnificent view of the world, which can be expanded into a huge fantasy universe.

Although there is no concept of the cinematic universe, the Lord of the Rings has not had the success of the trilogy plus the first trilogy, and the crazy Harry Potter is not even a shadow, but it does not mean that the people of the United States do not know that they are similar. The value of the fantasy universe.

　　 because they have Star Wars!

　　 This series of movies that Adam could not see in his previous life has almost become a phenomenon-level symbol representing American culture, and countless Americans are crazy about it.

　　 In the Big Bang, Shelton and the others are the most typical representatives.

　　 The lightsaber fluorescent lamp in the second.

　　 In order to watch the latest midnight movie, not only was she willing to line up all night, she even tied a urine bag under her pants in order to occupy a seat.

　　 One is to hold your seat, and the other is to keep warm, you can kill two birds with one stone...

　　 When Sheldon and Leonard were invited to give lectures at other universities and passed the manor of the father of Star Wars on the way, they did not hesitate to visit them first. For this reason, Sheldon was chased by security and shocked.

　　 In this way, this experience was regarded as a wonderful journey by them. Howard and Rajesh who did not go were still quite jealous.

　　 The Lord of Mysteries, Nature and Star Wars are not the same type, but the vast worldview that can be vaguely revealed still shocks Jack Cerf.

　　 This is a work that has both the magical atmosphere of the Lord of the Rings, the mystery of Cthulhu, the suspense of Sherlock Holmes, the unknown and mysterious elements of the East, and the perfect integration of many elements.

The 　　 group image structure is also very colorful, which is very suitable for the adaptation of film and television dramas.

　　 This may be a big treasure.

　　 Jack Cerf was secretly pleased, but he didn't make a difference: "So, what do you think of buying out the copyright at a price of $10,000? Few newcomers can get this price."

　　 "Sorry, I'm sorry."

　　 Adam picked up the manuscript, got up and nodded and smiled.

　　 said, turned around and walked outside.

　　 "..."

　　 Jack Cerf twitched the corners of his mouth, and quickly got up to hold Adam: "Mr. Duncan, can I discuss any questions?"

"Ha ha."

　　 Adam smiled and said: "Mr. Cerf is not meant to be discussed carefully. In this way, Mr. Cerf can think about it. I have to go to HarperCollins Press for something later, shall we make an appointment again?"

　　As New York is one of the largest metropolises, Random House is not the only publishing house, but HarperCollins is also one of the largest companies.

　　 This is still a large publishing house, and there are countless small and medium-sized publishing houses.

　　 When the other party opened his mouth, he bought out. It was only ten thousand dollars. Adam didn't want to talk to the other party.

　　 He is not a fat tiger, how can he tolerate the bullying of Chi Guoguo.

"Mr. Duncan, you misunderstood~www.mtlnovel.com~ Jack Cerf smiled unchanged and said: "This price is really friendly to newcomers...Of course, if Mr. Duncan has objections, you can talk about it, why bother I was anxious to go to another house. To be honest, for newcomers, all publishers' bids are actually similar. "

　　 "Don't mention the buyout."

　　 Adam nodded to himself when he heard the words. Capitalists are indeed the same, and HarperCollins is unlikely to be much better. His appearance is just a better negotiation.

　　 Furthermore, there is naturally a reason why he chose Random House as his first stop.

　　 Random House is one of the largest publishing houses with strong publicity and sales channels. Most of the books on the bestseller list are published by Random House.

Harper Collins is also very powerful. The types of publications are more serious and less famous. Large companies have big company diseases. The internal rigidity is severe. It is a common phenomenon to have eyes on the top of the head. It is not necessarily the illusion of the Secret Lord. Kind of novel.

　　 Of course, if the opponent is too much, Adam would rather not publish it.

　　 Do not eat steamed buns and fight for steam, the most admired god's work in the past life, even in the parallel universe, he is not willing to sell it cheaply anyway.

　　 "The price can be negotiated, and you are satisfied..."

　　 Jack Cerf does not give up, what he wants most is full copyright, which is the popular IP operation in the current world.

　　 What is funny is that the ip in the US and the later advocacy of ip in the East are not the same thing.

　　 Adam is unmoved.

　　 I want to buy out the copyright at a low price, I want to eat it!

　　 Because no matter what 'astronomical price' the other party offers, it's a low price in Adam's view.

　　 The psychological expectations of the two are not of the same order at all. What is there to talk about?
