In the morning, Wu Xiaotian took his parents and Bei Bei to the zoo in Xingbei City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

My parents live in a small county, and there is no zoo or anything like that in the county, and they rarely go to some places to play, and many of the animals in the zoo are still seeing them for the first time, so they are very interested.

Bei Bei was even more happy to jump.

This is not the first time she has come to the zoo, Wu Xiaotian has also taken her to the zoo twice on weekends before.

However, this time Bei Bei was still very excited.

Moreover, the first two times Bei Bei came over, she was still a little scared when she saw some fierce animals, or she didn't know the names of some animals.

When she came to the zoo this time, she saw fierce beasts such as lions and tigers, and she was very calm, and she was very brave to greet them, and from time to time she told Wu's father and mother next to her what this animal was and what that animal was.

Therefore, the morning was full of joy and laughter.

After playing for a while, a few people sat in the cold drink shop in the park to drink and rest for a while.

At this time, Wu Xiaotian received a strange phone call.

"Hello. Wu Xiaotian connected the mobile phone and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

There was a young man's voice over there, and when he heard Wu Xiaotian's question, he said, "Hello, are you Wu Xiaotian?"

Wu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The young man over there smiled and said, "Hello, I'm the editor of Legend Magazine, Song Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

When Wu Xiaotian heard this, he was a little stunned, Hu Yidao has always been in charge of his cooperation with the Legend Publishing House, why is there a newcomer who has come to call him now?

However, he still said, "Hello, Editor Song." ”

Song Qi over there was also straightforward, and after introducing himself, he said what he meant: "Mr. Wu, now I am your new editor of Legend Magazine, and I will connect with you on some cooperation matters in the future." ”

Wu Xiaotian asked strangely: "Isn't it the editor-in-chief Hu who is docking with me? Why is it that he has been replaced now?"

Song Qi said with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Hu has been on vacation recently, and it is estimated that he has no time to be busy with work, so I am responsible for him here, don't worry, I am as good at talking as Editor-in-Chief Hu." ”

So that's the case, Wu Xiaotian was relieved.

However, he complained a little in his heart, this Brother Hu, just make a phone call after resting, and he has to wait for others to come to him.

Song Qi quickly got into the state of work, and he continued: "Mr. Wu, the "Dragon Babu" serialized in "Legend Magazine" on your side has ended, and on behalf of Legend Magazine, I want to talk to you about the publication of this book as a whole. ”

Wu Xiaotian said: "This matter, I have already talked to Brother Hu once last time, I don't know if he handed over these things to you before he took a vacation? ”

He was telling the truth, a week before the end of "Dragon Babu", Hu Yidao talked to him about it, and finally decided to sign the contract according to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Wu Xiaotian has no objection to this, after all, the manuscript fee is determined according to the sales volume, and the more you sell, the more you get.

Song Qi paused when he heard Wu Xiaotian's words, and said, "Mr. Wu, this matter, Editor-in-Chief Hu told me, but this contract is a little inappropriate, it doesn't seem to comply with the regulations in our magazine, so it needs to be revised again." ”

Wu Xiaotian asked, "How to revise it again?"

Song Qi continued: "The content of the contract modification is mainly based on two aspects, one is that this novel has been serialized in the magazine, and many readers have already bought the magazine and read the novel, so its freshness to readers will be greatly reduced, that is to say, readers may not buy it again, and we predict that sales may not be ideal." ”

Song Qi said this, Wu Xiaotian had thought about it before, but his contract was based on sales, and it had little impact on the relationship with the contract.

He didn't speak, waiting for Song Qi's later words.

"The second reason is that the last contract did not comply with the rules and regulations of our magazine at all. Generally speaking, for normal book publishing, one-star artists and below are 6% royalties, and 1% will be added for each star that rises after that, as far as I know, you are a one-star artist this year. Song Qi said with a smile.

Wu Xiaotian frowned.

He knew this, and it was clear when he talked about it for the first time.

It is precisely because of this system that the contract was signed that way.

Now, listening to the meaning of Editor Song's words, his book can only get less than 6% royalties, and it will not be linked to sales, which is a lot less than before.

He asked Song Qi, "And then?"

"But, having said that, I am now your editor, and it is also my responsibility to fight for the greatest interests of the author, so I argued with the leaders above, saying that your novel is very popular with readers, and the sales have been very good. In the end, the leader decided not to pursue the things that have been serialized in the magazine, and only give you 6% royalties according to your status as a one-star artist writer, which is ......"

"Editor-in-chief Song. Wu Xiaotian interrupted him unceremoniously.

His voice was already tinged with a hint of coldness, and he said, "Then do I want to be grateful to you now?"

Song Qi hurriedly said, "This is not needed. ”

Wu Xiaotian sneered and said: "Definitely not, if it is the royalty you said, then please tell your leaders that my book is not published by you." ”

"Mr. Wu, you have to think clearly, your book was first serialized in our "Legend Magazine". ”

Song Qi on the other end of the phone began to speak with some threats.

He got the instructions from above, this time he must keep the royalties of this Wu Xiaotian author to the minimum, even if he falls out with him.

Wu Xiaotian's smile was even colder, and he said: "My novel is indeed serialized in your magazine, but that is only the copyright of serialization, and other copyrights have nothing to do with your half a dime, I can publish it wherever I want." ”

After Wu Xiaotian finished saying this, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he directly threw away a sentence: "Editor Song, you and your leader, if it is still according to the last contract, I can continue to let you publish this book for the sake of our many cooperation, if not, then our cooperation will end here." ”

As he spoke, Wu Xiaotian hung up the phone.

Wu's father and Wu's mother also noticed Wu Xiaotian's cold face, and asked with concern: "Xiaotian, is there something wrong? ”

Wu Xiaotian shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it will be done soon, let's continue to visit the zoo,"

Just as he was almost resting, he picked up Beibei and started playing.
