Chapter 55 Someone Asks for a Manuscript
Monday morning's sales have already made the outcome of the battle unsuspenseful.
Mr. Ye has not been seen in the offices of Legend Magazine's department since Monday.
Some people said that he had an extremely bad face and a great temper for the whole week, and he was even more picky about the work of his subordinates.
Of course, Hu Yidao knew the reason for this.
However, he didn't care about Ye Liang's feelings, since he made a bet with Ye Liang, he was destined to be not all the way.
Also, of course, he also remembered the bet he made with Ye Liang, if he won, Xiaobei's manuscript fee would be increased by half.
Hu Yidao's speed was very fast, and he knew the sales volume on Monday morning, and in the afternoon, he sent a report to Ye Liang to increase Xiaobei's manuscript fee.
Hu Yidao received the approval of the report on Wednesday, and the result was naturally agreed.
It's just that from Ye Liang's signature on the report, the paper of the report was torn, and it can be seen that Ye Liang's mood when he saw this report at that time.
On Friday afternoon, Wu Xiaotian received a call from Hu Yidao.
Hu Yidao returned to his original appearance on the phone, and his voice was almost roaring: "Hey, Xiaobei, Brother Xiaobei." ”
Wu Xiaotian's ears were shocked again, and he reluctantly took the mobile phone away from his ears, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”
It seems that Hu Yidao has become the original Hu Yidao, and this turmoil has finally passed.
"Hey, hey. Hu Yidao laughed a few times on the other end of the phone, and then said: "Brother Xiaobei, thank you so much this time, your novel is so powerful, it has helped me a lot." ”
"You know what? It's only been one morning, and we've already won. So this time, the manuscript fee has been increased to 1500 per thousand words, and this Friday I will transfer the manuscript fee for these chapters to your bank card first. ”
"Yes, okay. ”
Wu Xiaotian was also very happy, he already knew the result from the reaction of the fans on the Weibo broadcast that day.
He was also relieved, he said that Hu Yidao's packing ticket must be no problem, and the sales volume will definitely exceed, and finally he did not break his promise.
And this victory is also an affirmation of his novel.
"Thank you, Brother Hu, it's also good to rely on your publicity, I'll trouble you in the future. Wu Xiaotian said politely.
"Haha, it's easy to say. ”
Hu Yidao laughed.
When he was about to get off work, Wu Xiaotian packed his things and prepared to go downstairs to pick up Beibei.
On the way out, he received a strange phone call.
Wu Xiaotian picked it up.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Wu Xiaotian?" spoke first, and he knew Wu Xiaotian's name.
"Well, yes, may I ask who you are?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
"Hello, I am the editor of the New Wave Publishing House, our publishing house has read your two novels, they are very novel and unique, I appreciate your talent very much, I don't know if you have any other novels that can be published in us, and the manuscript fee we give will definitely not be lower than your current manuscript fee in the Legend Publishing House. ”
The people over there were very polite and straightforward to say their purpose.
Trendy Press?
Wu Xiaotian was a little surprised, this publishing house, which can be said to be one of the top three in China, is much bigger than the legendary publishing house.
"They're asking me for a manuscript. ”
This made him a little moved, Xinchao Publishing House not only has branches in various important provinces in China, but even they have branches abroad, and their audience is much larger than that of Legend Publishing House.
For some excellent works, they will also buy the copyright in foreign languages, ask someone to translate them into foreign languages, and sell them abroad.
If Wu Xiaotian's novels can be published and distributed in Xinchao, his popularity will definitely be further enhanced, and he can even sell his books abroad.
However, he is now cooperating with the legendary publishing house, especially with Hu Yidao, who has a good personal relationship, and it is impossible for him to leave now.
So, Wu Xiaotian said apologetically: "Hello, I'm sorry, I'm working with them very well now, and I won't consider changing publishers for the time being." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Wu, don't be in a hurry to refuse on your side, as far as I know, your novel is not very valued in the legendary publishing house, they have a high-level suppression of you, although this time did not succeed, but there must be a next time, maybe your luck is not as good as this time." ”
The editor of Xinchao Publishing House obviously did a very detailed preliminary work, and basically figured out the details of Wu Xiaotian, and he knew more about Ye Liang's suppression of Wu Xiaotian by the legendary publishing house.
Wu Xiaotian was also surprised, how did he know about this?
However, in the same publishing industry, it is also necessary to understand the competition.
It's just that there will definitely be a next time when he says it, what does it mean.
Wu Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "I understand what you mean, but I really don't want to leave here for the time being, I have a good cooperation with the person in charge of their magazine, as for their high-level management, if it really makes a fuss, I will consider you." ”
Wu Xiaotian didn't say anything to death, leaving a way for himself.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry here, waiting for your good news. ”
When the editor of the New Wave Publishing House heard Wu Xiaotian say this, he didn't say anything more.
hung up the phone, Wu Xiaotian just took a step, and the phone rang again.
Wu Xiaotian picked up the phone again and said, "Hey, hello." ”
"Hey, hello, are you Mr. Xiaobei?"
This time it was a woman who called, calling Wu Xiaotian's pen name Xiaobei.
"Mr. Xiaobei, my side is Liu Yun of Oriental TV, we saw your novel "Dragon Babu" on "Legend Magazine", and we think it is very good, I don't know if the audio copyright of your novel has been sold? ”
The person named Liu Yun over there was also vigorous and resolute, and concisely stated the purpose of the call, but this time they wanted to buy the audio copyright.
"Audio copyright?" Wu Xiaotian thought for a moment and asked, "Will it conflict with the current magazine serialization?" ”
"No, we will broadcast a week later than the magazine, and the staggered release time of the magazine will not affect the sales of the magazine. Liu Yun explained.
Since there is no conflict with the current magazine serialization, there will naturally be no breach of contract, and if it is broadcast on the radio station, more people will know about his novels, know him, and expand his popularity.
"This is okay, so be it, I'll give you my email address, you send me the contract, I'll take a look, no problem you can sign the contract." ”
"Hey, okay, thank you very much, Mr. Wu, I will send the contract here, you can take a look at the details inside, there is the amount of manuscript fee, you can negotiate. ”
This is not the last call, after getting off work all Friday, the phone has basically not stopped, all for Wu Xiaotian's novel.
Wu Xiaotian politely refused all those who wanted him to go elsewhere to serialize novels; for those like Oriental Television, who wanted different copyrights of novels, they asked them to send contracts over, and if appropriate, they would cooperate.
