Chapter 24: Genius Best-Selling Author Guo Kun (Asking for Recommendation Votes!)
Qu Jiayang and Jiang Liner are still very confident in the best-selling popularity of "The Hobbit".
If the first printing of 20,000 copies sells well.
Then it is possible to print and publish 50,000 copies directly, or even 100,000 copies, so that Qin Junhao, as the author, will also get a straight line of income.
And Chuangwen Media Group actually wants to use a buyout to obtain the simplified physical publishing copyright of "The Hobbit"?
It's too inappropriate, isn't it?
"Lao Qin, Yushuang, you two shouldn't know that the publishing department of Chuangwen Media Group and Lao Qu's Jiangcheng Publishing House have always been fierce competitors. ”
Xia Qingyan told Qin Dalei and his wife about this.
"Huh, huh?"
When Lin Yushuang heard this, she felt quite surprised.
"Yes, Chuangwen Media Group has always bought out the works of new writers at low prices, and by casting a wide net, they will always catch big fish, and their editors will also ...... Alas, as a peer, I don't mean to belittle others, in short, Chuangwen Media Group, I don't recommend you to contact. ”
Qu Jiayang said to Qin Dalei and his wife with a solemn expression.
"Okay, the publication of my son's book will be with you Jiangcheng Publishing House, this is all negotiated by us, and the contract can be signed as soon as possible." ”
Qin Dalei said.
As his son's guardian, Qin Dalei actually has the right to sign a publishing contract with Jiangcheng Publishing House on behalf of his son.
However, when Qin Dalei is a father, he must ask for his son's consent.
But my son also said it just now, and the matter of publication should be entrusted to the editor-in-chief of Jiangcheng Publishing House.
At this time.
Jiangcheng Chuangwen Media Group, in the office of the editor-in-chief of the publishing department.
"Mr. Liu, I said it, we want to buy the publishing copyright of "The Hobbit", but people say they won't sell it!"
Lu Wen was very aggrieved.
Just now, he was scolded by editor-in-chief Liu Changfeng again.
"Don't you want to sell it, don't you want to have the opportunity to publish?" Liu Changfeng frowned, and then said, "If it doesn't work, mention the price?"
"Mr. Liu, how much did you mention?"
"Think about it, 100 words in 100...... Forget it, 70 words per thousand, a rookie writer, this price is good enough. ”
Liu Changfeng touched his chin and said with a sly look.
"70 thousand words, what if the other side still doesn't sell?" Lu Wen asked with a bitter expression.
"That's 100 words per thousand, it can't be higher, it's just a rookie writer!" Liu Changfeng gritted his teeth and gave the highest buyout price.
"Okay, I'll call again. ”
As he spoke, Lu Wen took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Qin just now.
"Hey, hello Mr. Qin, I'm ...... just now"
"Not for sale!"
Toot!
After the phone was connected, two words came from the other side, "not for sale", and then the phone hung up.
Lu Wen was stunned on the spot.
"What's the situation, the phone didn't get through?" Liu Changfeng looked at Lu Wen's confused expression and quickly asked.
"Mr. Liu, hit, get through. ”
Lu Wen held the mobile phone in his hand, stunned in place, and replied.
"Why did you hang up after you got through?"
"Mr. Liu, that Mr. Qin said, don't sell it!"
"Not for sale?"
Liu Changfeng frowned tightly, and then made a fierce analysis: "It shouldn't be, could it be that they have already negotiated with other publishing houses? Could it be Jiangcheng Publishing House? Damn, most of it is Jiangcheng Publishing House, so I know that it must be Qu Jiayang's guy!"
"Mr. Liu, then we ...... it"
"M's! It's been given the first step by others, what else are you talking about!" Liu Changfeng was almost anxious.
Such a new fantasy work with great potential passed by Chuangwen Media Group in this way.
What a pity!
"Then Mr. Liu, if it is really Jiangcheng Publishing House that gets the publishing copyright of this "The Hobbit", then do we have to do something? Otherwise, we will be beaten up for the next quarter's publishing sales. ”
Lu Wen is quite smart.
He also knew that The Hobbit was probably a bestseller.
It's a pity that it is very likely to be taken away by the opponent, Jiangcheng Publishing House, and Jiangcheng Publishing House and the publishing department of Chuangwen Media Group have always been bitter rivals.
Is it possible that in the next quarter, Jiangcheng Publishing House will be so indulgent?
"Hmmm......"
Liu Changfeng clasped his hands in front of him, pondered carefully and said: "It makes sense, let's do it, let's find a few potential new books on the fantasy platform first, and our original publishing plan will go ahead as usual, and then ...... Didn't we make a fantasist a hit last year?"
"Mr. Liu, do you mean that eighteen-year-old genius young writer Guo Kun?"
Lu Wen remembered.
Last year, the publishing department of Chuangwen Media Group published a best-selling book called "The Great Pirate", a pirate book, which sold nearly one million copies in a year.
And the author of this novel was a high school student at the time.
Chuangwen Media Group took advantage of this gimmick to publicize it fiercely.
"That's right, it's Guo Kun, doesn't he have other adaptation copyright cooperation with our Chuangwen Media, let's ask him for an appointment!"
Liu Changfeng said as if he had won a treasure.
He thought about it for a moment.
Judging from the current performance in the fantasy world, the book "The Hobbit" does have great potential, if it doesn't come up with a best-selling book to counterbalance "The Hobbit".
Then after the book is published next quarter, won't it be all the way through?
Just looking for Guo Kun to make an appointment to fight with Jiangcheng Publishing House in the next quarter!
Think about it.
Liu Changfeng directly took out his mobile phone, found the phone number of the eighteen-year-old genius writer Guo Kun, and dialed it.
"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Liu?"
"Guo Kun, how did you do in the college entrance examination?" Liu Changfeng knew that Guo Kun had taken the college entrance examination this year, so he would like to say hello first.
"Harm, it's okay, if nothing else, Yancheng University. ”
On the other end of the phone, Guo Kun said without modesty.
"Yes, yes, you are worthy of being a genius writer, then I will congratulate you in advance, and Guo Kun, your game adaptation of "The Great Pirates" has been well negotiated with our company, right?"
"Mmmm, I'm expected to go on a tour next month, I'm looking forward to it. ”
"Do you have any creative plans lately?"
Liu Changfeng chatted and chatted, and then cut to the topic.
"Editor-in-Chief Liu, do you mean to make an appointment with me?" Guo Kun heard this, and understood what Editor-in-Chief Liu meant.
"Yes, yes, I think that an excellent writer like you, who is both young and talented, and if you publish a bestseller a year, within five years, you will be able to stand at the top of the world's best-selling literary scene. ”
Liu Changfeng touted.
The other party is just a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and in the face of such a ferocious praise of honor and the impact of the flood, most of them will not be able to withstand it.
"Hahaha, thanks to Editor-in-Chief Liu's praise, I did write a manuscript before the college entrance examination, why don't you send it to you to see?"
