After Jerryd, Muller of the Bo Guo De Hetz Publishing House, as well as the heads of several other publishing houses, also said that if Li Fan's fantasy literary works have a certain distribution value, they are willing to publish them for Li Fan for free and distribute them in their own countries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And what they implicitly mean is that if Li Fan's fantasy literary works have no distribution value, and Li Fan wants to publish them, he can only publish them at his own expense.

Of course, this is indeed true. If the author's book is not of good quality and wants to be published, then he has to pay out of his own pocket and ask the publisher to publish it.

However, the facts are the facts, and now the major publishing houses are so direct, and the slight ridicule in the words can be understood by those present.

For a while, they all turned their heads to look at Li Fan, wanting to see embarrassment, shame, or annoyance on Li Fan's face.

However, none of them saw it on Li Fan's face.

Seeing it, Li Fan still smiled faintly and said: "I haven't finished what I just said, I don't want copyright fees, but it doesn't mean I don't want money." In our country, there is another way of cooperation between publishers and authors, that is, authors do not pay royalties, but use a share method. I wonder if Mr. Mueller, Mr. Jerred, and the rest of the responsible publishers have such a way of cooperation?"

The heads of the publishing houses were stunned, and then Jerry said: "Of course there is such a way of cooperation, but ordinary authors will not choose this way." Because they don't know how their books are selling, and getting the royalties they are satisfied with at one time is the safest way. ”

Li Fan said: "As long as there is, my works plan to adopt this kind of cooperation with various publishing houses." As for how much I share, for the sake of today's special day, I will divide a little less, just 10 percentage points. ”

"How much, how much?" Everyone at the scene was stunned, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

In addition to the authors and people in the publishing industry, the rest of the staff also basically understand the publishing industry.

The share given by the publisher to the author is all given according to the price.

For example, if a book priced at 30 yuan is divided by 10 percentage points, it is 3 yuan.

In other words, for every book printed by the publishing house, it has to give the author 3 yuan.

However, the cost of publishing physical books by publishing houses is actually very high, and there are many other costs in addition to the author's remuneration or copyright fees.

For example, printing costs, paper costs, transportation costs, storage fees, discount differences between yards and real oceans, plus a certain breakage rate and so on.

Calculated from seventy-seven eighty-eight, a book priced at 30 yuan, the final net profit obtained by the publishing house is generally only five or six yuan, six or seven yuan, and will not exceed 10 quick money.

This 10 percentage point is very high.

Of course, everyone also knows that Li Fan is not maliciously asking for a sky-high price.

If it's a super bestseller, let alone 10 percentage points, it's 11, 12, or even higher, and the publisher is willing to give it.

But the key is that Li Fan's fantasy literary works dare to ask for such a price, and everyone has to doubt their ears.

In the eyes of the publishing house, it would be naïve to ask for a 10 percent share of a book that the author needs to publish out of his own pocket.

Jerry said with a smile: "Mr. Li Fan said that it is absolutely impossible. ”

After Jerry, Muller and other heads of publishing houses also said that it was impossible, and they were fools.

Jim, Andrein, Gesen and others also sneered in their hearts, in their opinion, this must have been said by Li Fan on purpose, wanting to resolve the previous embarrassing situation.

Li Fan nodded and said, "I can understand your concerns, but this is really a pity." Now it seems that my entries can only be published in China for the time being. Fortunately, this time, the evaluation rules do not look at sales, otherwise, I would have been eliminated now. ”

Jim laughed and said: "Mr. Li Fan is too modest, after Mr. Li Fan's work is created, if Jerry and Muller think it's okay, they can still release it abroad." ”

Li Fan nodded and said, "Then thank you Mr. Jim for your kind words." ”

Jim said again: "Where, where, I believe that Mr. Li Fan has this strength." ”

With the copyright issue over, Jim, Andrein, Gerson and others were in a very good mood.

Everything is similar to what they expected, Li Fan's entries can't even sell the publishing rights in other countries, and after this news is known by Chinese netizens, it will be very lively.

At this point, this children's literature exchange summit has really come to an end.

Yu Qiu, president of the Chinese Writers Association, and Laluf, president of the Languo Writers Association, made their final concluding remarks.

After that, the exchange summit finally came to a successful conclusion.

All the writers were very satisfied with this trip to China.

......

After the summit, Han Feng, a representative of the Chinese publishing industry and the head of Qiuyu Publishing House, approached Li Fan and expressed his willingness to buy the publishing rights of Li Fan's entries in China.

Li Fan said that there is naturally no problem, and it is still according to the share, which is 8 percentage points.

8 percentage points, it is indeed the low price given by Li Fan.

You know, the work he was going to take out created a sales myth in his previous life, and it was one of the best-selling works in the world.

Even the 10 percentage points given to Jerryd, Loew and others before are not considered high.

It's just a pity that no one wants to believe him.

Of course, Li Fan can also understand, but he really feels a little regretful.

And Han Feng didn't seem to believe Li Fan either, and said with a slight frown: "Mr. Li Fan, with your current fame, we believe that there will definitely be many people willing to buy your works." However, it is also true that China's fantasy literature market is still uncertain, and it is the first time for Mr. Li Fan to try to create fantasy literature, and there are too many uncertain factors. Isn't 8 percentage points too high?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I understand Mr. Han's concerns very much, but this price is indeed my bottom line price." ”

Han Feng's brows furrowed even more, and after thinking about it, he said, "Since this is the case, then we can only talk to Mr. Li Fan about cooperation another day." ”

Li Fan smiled and said, "I know that Mr. Han wants to wait for my country's fantasy literature market to become clearer, and after reading my works, he will talk about cooperation." Of course, there is no problem, but Mr. Han, if someone rushes ahead of you and reaches a cooperation agreement with me, then I can only say sorry. ”

Han Feng also smiled and said, "It's okay, if other publishing houses are willing to cooperate with Mr. Li Fan, Mr. Li Fan just agrees." ”

Li Fan nodded, and after the two said a few more words, they said goodbye to each other.

Another person in charge of Qiuyu Publishing House, Huang Zhaoyang, saw Han Feng coming back, so he asked, "Old Han, how is it?"

Han Feng shook his head, sneered, and told Huang Zhaoyang about the situation.

After hearing this, Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said: "We saw that he was rejected by so many foreign publishing houses and lost face, so we were kind enough to buy his copyright.

Han Feng smiled and said, "It is estimated that he has been on the altar for a long time, thinking that no matter what book he writes, it will be very popular." ”

Huang Zhaoyang shook his head and said again: "Forget it, don't care about him." Let's go to Mr. Jim and talk about the copyright issue of his entries published in China, which we didn't have to talk about in the venue just now, and now it has nothing to do with it privately. ”

Han Feng nodded, and then, the two went to Jim together to discuss related copyright matters.
