And to increase the number of copies issued?

After answering the phone, Wang gradually himself was a little caught off guard by the explosion of "I Am the Archmage".

He looked around, and several of the prisoners were holding "I Am the Archmage".

So, he couldn't help but calculate it in his heart.

How much can this book bring to you?

An hour later.

Roy parked his Cadillac on the side of the road and looked at Wang gradually who was picking up garbage in a little surprise.

Wang Yan, who was not far away, also saw Roy.

So, after asking Lily for a leave of absence from the sign-in officer, he quickly came to Roy's side.

Wang gradually stretched out his hand and pointed to the café on the side of the road, motioning for Roy to talk.

After the two of them ordered a cup of coffee each, Roy took out five copies of "I Am an Archmage" and handed them to Wang Yan, "This is the book you want." ”

Then, he took out a new contract and said to Wang gradually with a smile: "I think, we have to sign another printing contract." ”

Wang gradually took the book and set it aside.

I picked up the contract again and looked at it.

After a moment, he looked up at Roy and asked, "The French and Latin editions, as well as the 100,000 more English editions, will be issued in addition, and the royalty rate will also be 4%?"

"As far as I know, in the absence of guaranteed royalties, after a book is on fire, the royalty percentage will increase accordingly, right?"

In fact, Wang gradually saw these in the old man's publishing house materials.

It's just that he never thought that "I Am an Archmage" could become a hit.

And last night, after the unexpected incident, he was a little panicked and didn't think about it so much at all.

After a day's work, he decided to get his fair share of the benefits.

On the other side, Roy's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly.

Finally, the fears came true.

In fact, when he signed the contract yesterday, he could increase the royalty ratio.

However, he never thought that Wang Jian was a qualified novelist.

As for "I Am an Archmage", it is just that the creativity and writing method are more novel.

And Wang Jian's next novel will most likely not become a bestseller.

Because, he has neither perennial experience in related work, nor a solid foundation in writing.

It's good for a 17-year-old to write a best-selling book, but is there still a steady stream of groundbreaking inspiration and innovation?

That's not called Wang Yan, that's called Hemingway!

So, before signing the contract last time, he used his words to make Wang gradually lose his mind in tension and ecstasy.

Then, he took the benefits that Wang gradually could have obtained as a stepping stone for himself to go from editor in charge to editor-in-chief.

But he didn't expect that "I Am an Archmage" would be so popular, and it would continue to be printed just one day later.

I didn't expect that a 17-year-old boy living in the Bronx would wake up from his illusory success so quickly and begin to think about his own interests.

The smile on the corner of Roy's mouth slowly disappeared, and it was replaced by the demeanor that should be seen during business negotiations.

"So, how much do you want to go up?" he muttered, considering the psychological price he could accept.

As the editor-in-charge of "I Am the Archmage", he has the right to give the phenomenal bestseller a royalty share of up to 10%.

However, the bottom line that Roy can accept is 8%.

Because, judging from the current sales momentum of "I Am the Archmage", the extra 2% should ensure that he becomes one of the youngest editors-in-chief of the publishing house.

Wang gradually thought about it for a while, and quoted a price that he thought was relatively high.

“9%。 ”

Sit up and pay the price on the ground.

After we talked, I could love the publishing house.

It's a big deal, just don't go fishing with Roy in the future.

Roy frowned slightly, he couldn't accept this price.

So, after thinking about it for a while, he had to make a killer move.

Although, he knew that once this trick was used, the relationship between Scholastic Publishing House and Wang Jian would inevitably deteriorate.

"Your book is also involved in the shooting of 2pac. Roy sat up straight and looked down at Wang Yan opposite.

"Publishers can reduce their circulation within five years and take a more positive stance in the face of the coming storm of public opinion. ”

Wang gradually frowned, staring at Roy opposite.

This is, to be hidden?

The fish is dead and the net is broken, and both sides are injured?

Five years later, who knows how much "I Am the Archmage" will sell.

After all, the novel is just written and creatively appealing.

And these are very easy to imitate.

At this time, the two just looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere suddenly changed from friendly just now to cold.

Suddenly, the café's TV was tuned to Fox.

At this time, a reading program on Fox TV was also reporting on the explosion of "I Am the Archmage", as well as various in-depth reports.

Then, the hostess said: "Next, let's listen to the evaluation of this phenomenal novel by the authors of best-selling fantasy novels. ”

As soon as the camera turned, an old man appeared in the shot.

Below the TV is Robert Jordan, author of "The Wheel of Time" and veteran fantasy novelist.

"I don't deny that 'I Am the Archmage' is an appealing novel, but I don't admit that it's a good novel, let alone a good fantasy novel. ”

"It's more like an otaku's self-hypnosis. I don't see a bit of fantasy rigor. ”

Then, another middle-aged man appeared in the camera.

I saw that it was marked below: "Icewind Dale" series author, fantasy novelist, R· A. Salvador.

I saw him say: "Fantasy novels have always been synonymous with rigorous settings and the grandeur of the world." ”

"Beginning with Mr. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, fantasy fiction has been accepted by serious literature through generations. I don't want some of the most difficult works to be relegated to the category of fantasy novels. ”

Finally, even the game that just sold this year, the planning of "Diablo" also appeared in the shot.

"Ha, that's also called fantasy novels? So, what are we trying to upgrade our game for? Let the game characters eat taco together, haha!"

Roy listened to the report on TV, his eyes stared at Wang Yan opposite, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a little smile.

The lower "I Am an Archmage" is, the stronger the other party's desire to make a quick buck will be.

Then he and himself, in terms of the proportion of the new royalties of "I Am an Archmage", the weaker the bargaining power.

At first, I just discovered that it had the potential to become a bestseller.

At present, "I Am the Archmage" has indeed become a bestseller, and the sales have not been low recently.

As for the total sales volume in five years.

Hehe.

He is neither the owner of Scholastic Publishing nor the author of "I Am the Archmage".

It's your turn to worry about it?

At this moment, Wang gradually didn't have the heart to care about what Roy was laughing at on the other side.

Because, in his mind, on those bookshelves, the second novel finally appeared in its entirety.

I saw that it was a novel with a blue cover.

On its cover, there is a handsome-looking Western teenager.

And next to the boy, there were four big characters written on it.

Arcane Throne!
