Jiang Dong never expected to meet Long Night Weixi, and was speechless by some arguments.

It is impossible to fool Lu Changming, at least with his own ability, he can't fool him, and he must consult the editor-in-chief to seek a better fooling Dafa.

"Miss Weixi is very reasonable, I will ask the editor-in-chief for instructions, I will leave first, and we will talk in detail when the editor-in-chief has instructions. Jiang Dong got up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lin Weixi, and then shook hands with Lu Changming.

"Mr. Changming, I will try my best to fight for your best interests, please be calm. Jiang Dong said goodbye.

Lu Changming intervened and watched him go away, and he could see that Jiang Dong was a little embarrassed.

"Classmate Lin, you are amazing. Lu Changming praised that if Lin Weixi wasn't here, he wouldn't know how to avoid it even if he knew that there was a pit.

"500,000 royalties are so small that I just can't see them. Lin Weixi was very indifferent, "But they won't give me the two million I want, and they should take the path of royalty sharing." ”

Two million is too much for any publisher to gamble on a book.

Royalty sharing is the best option, because there is no loss, and the author will be paid a proportional amount of money for the book sold.

"If we share the royalties, we might be able to earn more. ”

"Look at the hard power of "The Three-Body Problem". ”

The two chatted, left the café, and then separated, agreeing to meet again in the next negotiation.

Lu Changming went to buy some ingredients and went home whistling.

Lin Weixi took a taxi back to Tianyue Bay Villa and found that a Land Rover off-road vehicle was parked in his yard.

It was Lin Yimou's company's car, obviously someone from the company came, and he was probably talking to his father about things.

Lin Weixi took off his little white shoes before entering the door, and stuffed his pink and tender feet into his rabbit ear slippers.

After that, she went into the bedroom and stayed, not wanting to meet strangers.

Just after entering the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Yimou came down, took a few white-collar people, and sent them away with a farewell.

Lin Weixi listened to the Land Rover go away before opening the door and coming out.

"It's important to socialize. Lin Yimou looked over and was a little helpless.

My daughter is so bored, she either practices instrumental music or reads and writes every day, and she doesn't want to communicate with strangers at all, so she has a girlfriend who occasionally talks.

But she's not autistic, she's just a little bit of socializing.

"I know, I'm going to change. Lin Weixi was habitually perfunctory.

Lin Yimou shook his head, and suddenly asked again: "You went out just now?" I always thought you were in the study. ”

"Hmm. ”

"What are you going out for? Play with that girlfriend last time?" Lin Yimou was overjoyed, he wished that his daughter would go out to play more.

"Look for her brother. Lin Weixi replied truthfully, and didn't think there was anything wrong.

Lin Yimou choked, and his old face twitched.

Daughter to find Lu Changming?

This does not bode well.

The young man has earned two million of his own, and he still wants to earn a daughter?

——————

Dongyang Hotel, Jiang Dong returned to the room, wiped the hot sweat on his head and hurriedly called the editor-in-chief Liu Changqian.

As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Changqian asked eagerly: "Jiang Dong, has the negotiation been completed?"

Liu Changqian has always been anxious, he knows that the future of "Three-Body Problem" is promising, and if he buys the copyright for 500,000 yuan, he will make a lot of money!

"No, the long night in the science fiction world is not there, she is articulate, and she uses the results of "Returning to the Ruins" as an example...... "Jiang Dong said the matter in 1510, and the first negotiation was considered yellow.

Liu Changqian fell into deep thought after hearing this, he was a big man after all, and he began to think about countermeasures after being anxious.

"Two million is whimsical, and no book in this market can sell two million for the physical copyright. After a while, Liu Changqian said in a deep voice, "Take the path of royalty sharing, you tell Changming that the first printing of 300,000 copies, the royalty is 10%, the single volume is 39 yuan, and he will be given 3.9 yuan for one copy, and the royalties will be paid according to this amount." ”

The number of first prints, which is the number that publishers estimate can sell, is a very critical number.

If it can't sell so much, the publisher itself suffers, and if it exceeds the quota, the author will pay the royalty according to the actual number of sales.

This is a royalty system in the publishing industry, which is more flexible than the buyout system, and the author will not suffer.

Liu Changqian said this, in fact, he doesn't plan to play too many routines, everything depends on the hard power of "The Three-Body Problem".

Jiang Dong used his mobile phone to calculate the response: "If this is the case, we need to pay Lu Changming 1.17 million, which is nearly half compared with 2 million." ”

"Well, 300,000 copies is already an optimistic estimate, three years ago, the publishing industry was still prosperous, "Returning to the Ruins" only sold 200,000 copies a year, "The Three-Body Problem" can sell 300,000 copies in a year is still unknown, 1.17 million is a sky-high price. Liu Changqian was a little distressed, but he had to gamble.

"I'll calculate how many copies will be sold for 2 million royalties. Jiang Dong poked at the computer, "512,820 copies, if the sales of "The Three-Body Problem" exceed this number, we will have to pay more than two million royalties." ”

The royalty system is like this, no matter how many first prints you have, the royalties paid must be calculated according to the actual sales volume.

In other words, as long as the sales volume of "The Three-Body Problem" exceeds 512,820 copies, Lu Changming's royalties will exceed two million yuan, and at that time, the World Tree should regret it - I knew that it would be bought out in one go for two million.

"Heh, do you think it's possible?" Liu Changqian laughed, laughing very softly, "What is the concept of more than 500,000 copies?

"That's right, let's share the royalties according to the number of first prints of 300,000 copies, and let's save half of the money. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two basically finalized the contract, and then chatted about the adaptation and film and television copyrights, but the result ended in nothing, after all, Lu Changming bit to death, so he could only cooperate in the follow-up and resolutely not sell these two copyrights.

Writing area, old rental house.

Lu Changming returned home with the ingredients, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw his sister sitting on the sofa and autistic.

Su Xiaozhou was quite autistic, she stared at the glass of water on the coffee table, she didn't know what she was thinking, her face was wrinkled.

"Zhouzhou, are you up?" Lu Changming said hello, planning to cook a meal.

Su Xiaozhou hugged his hands, turned his head, and ignored Lu Changming, but peeked at Lu Changming out of the corner of his eye.

"What kind of style are you?" Lu Changming laughed, and rubbed Su Xiaozhou's braincase, ""Dou Po" pounced?"

"Lu Changming, explain to me, what did you do with Lin Weixi. Su Xiaozhou still twisted his head and deliberately shook Lu Changming's hand away.

Lu Changming was stunned for a moment, just for this?

"It's a long story, and you're probably not interested. Lu Changming put down the dishes, he didn't really want to say it, mainly because Su Xiaozhou was more hapi and was not a good chat partner.

"You say, I'll listen. Su Xiaozhou's legs were crossed, as if he was holding his hands, like a bulging quail.

Lu Changming couldn't, so he had to say it.

Science Fiction World Forum, "The Three-Body Problem", Contract ...... He said it all, and he didn't know if Su Xiaozhou could understand it.

Su Xiaozhou blinked, it turned out to be this.

Ho ho ho, my sister stood up again (smiling).
