"Two teachers, let's not rush to talk about royalties, I want to hear about your promotion plan for this book. ”

Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly.

Li Yaqin wanted to interject a few times just now, but she didn't have a chance to speak, but she finally seized the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Yu Wenfei is still a newcomer, whether he can make great efforts to promote it, this is the key!"

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue glanced at each other, a little surprised, they didn't expect Yu Wenfei to be so young that he could be impatient when he encountered a big event, and he would get to the point at once.

When publishing a book, royalties are of course important, and it depends on how much money you can get.

However, this requires the premise that if the book sells well, of course, the higher the royalty, the more you will get.

But if the book can't be sold, even if the royalties are given to you 90 percent, so what!

Whether the book can sell well or not depends on many factors.

Whether the writer himself has enough popularity and appeal is the key, many famous writers, every time a new book is not on the market, the major newspapers and media have been overwhelmingly publicized.

And these promotions are not paid promotions, they belong to "tap water"!

That's the influence of the writers themselves!

Another key factor is the promotion of the publishing house.

For new writers like Yu Wenfei, this promotion is even more critical.

Because he is just starting out, he doesn't have much popularity and influence, and he doesn't have enough die-hard fans.

It can be said that if the promotion is strong enough, it is likely to be an instant hit and the novel will sell well.

If the promotion is not enough, it may be unfavorable, drowned in the sea of books, and not make a little waves.

"I will discuss this promotion plan with the leaders of the club when I go back, but I can guarantee that we will include your book as one of the key projects of the publishing house this year!"

Hu Yan replied cautiously.

This matter can't be talked about, not to mention it beyond his authority, even if he is optimistic about Yu Wenfei, but Yu Wenfei is only a high school student after all, and he just emerged in the new concept competition.

The publisher can't invest too many resources in him, at least not until the results are released!

Dong Xiaoxue also put away her smile, she thought for a while before she made up her mind.

"I don't have the right to be in charge of the affairs of the society, but personally, I will treat your book as my most important project of the year. Getting the most resources for your book is my promise to you!"

This is a bit heavy, everyone here is considered literati.

Pay attention to face and civic, since Dong Xiaoxue said such a thing, then she has to honor it.

Otherwise, it will spread in the circle, and what writer will dare to cooperate with her in the future.

Yu Wenfei is not the kind of mother-in-law, and now these two editors represent one of the largest publishing houses in China.

He didn't have time to ink for too long, and he would go back to Chen County in two days to continue his classes, so he couldn't stay in the magic capital all the time.

So he threw out his thoughts directly.

"That's it, two teachers. As for the royalties, I'll only have eight percent!"

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue thought they had heard it wrong, and looked at Yu Wenfei in amazement.

What do you mean, I don't want the 9 or 10 percent royalties I promised, but I took the initiative to reduce them, and I have never encountered them.

In the past, when I talked about cooperation with those writers, I couldn't wait for the higher the royalty, the better, let alone a percentage point, even 0.5 had to be entangled for a long time.

"The royalties have been reduced, but I want to promote them hard enough! I took the initiative to reduce the royalties so that you can go back and help me get more promotion support. Yu Wenfei explained.

Seriously, in the first book, he didn't expect to make much money from this.

A book is priced at 20 yuan, and the royalty of 10% is 2 yuan.

Even if it is more than one million sales, what he can get is two million, which is still pre-tax income.

One point is missing, that is, 20,000 yuan.

If the publisher is a little darker and signs a royalty share calculated at the wholesale price, then the income will be lower.

With such a little money, Yu Wenfei can't look down on it.

The reason why he published a book and made money was just incidental, and more importantly, he became famous!

Therefore, he would rather lower the royalty in exchange for greater promotion by the publishing house.

If the promotion is strong, you will be able to sell more books, and if you sell more books, you will have more fans, and if you have more fans, then you will naturally be famous!

What's more, in this way, it may not be less profitable.

The principle of small profits and quick turnover is applicable everywhere.

............

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue both nodded, since Yu Wenfei is so sensible, then things will be easy to handle.

There is no need to pay higher royalties, and the publishing house will be willing to give greater promotion support, because the profit of the publishing house is higher, and the more you sell, the more you will earn.

It's a win-win situation.

"Okay! Then I'll discuss it with the leaders of the club as soon as I go back, and I'll come up with a plan tomorrow. ”

Hu Yan said dryly.

"Me too, wait for my good news tomorrow!"

Dong Xiaoxue was not to be outdone.

The two of them each took the manuscript and hurried away.

After the two left, Li Yaqin opened her mouth and said, "This ...... That's the end of the conversation?"

Yuwen Fei got up, stretched his body, and replied with a smile: "Otherwise?"

"I want you to talk back and forth for most of the day, this is the publication of a novel! ”

"Ha, it's okay, don't you have to talk about it tomorrow. The conditions are almost on the line, these two are big publishing houses, and it is more reassuring to cooperate with them. ”

Yu Wenfei's attitude here is more casual, but Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue's attitude is very serious.

As editors-in-charge, their biggest job responsibility is to discover good writers and good books.

This time, I met Yu Wenfei such a "diamond ore", how could I take it lightly.

Therefore, after returning to the unit, I went directly to the leader with the manuscript.

............

"Editor-in-chief, I am more optimistic about Yu Wenfei, a young author, who has just concluded the New Concept Essay Contest, and he was awarded the special prize. Teacher Wu Dan from Peking University and Teacher Xu from Fudan are rushing to recruit him!"

Hu Yan bragged for Yu Wenfei.

But the editor-in-chief was unmoved, and just asked him: "If a short article is well written, it does not mean that the long article is well written, and even if it is well written, it does not mean that it can be a big seller." You're an old editor, you should understand that. I'm just asking you, are you optimistic about this book, and how many copies are you expected to sell?"

Hu Yan opened his mouth, ruthlessly, and quoted a number, "Seven or eight hundred thousand! This is the first year's sales, and the total sales should be able to break one million!"

Only then did the editor-in-chief get serious, he took the manuscript on his desk and flipped through it.

As soon as I read the title of the book, I reacted the same as Hu Yan at the time, frowning.

But the title of the book doesn't matter, the content does, and he continued to read it.

After about five minutes, the editor-in-chief didn't read it anymore without reading the whole thing.

Because of the general style of the book, the writing, and the story to be told, he already understood.
