Chapter 70: The General Trend Has Become [Seeking Recommendation and Collection]
"Although it is an online novel, we can develop a lot more peripheral copyrights than "Lu Qing's Survival Diary". For example, anime and games have excellent influence and are also well-paid. ”
Fantasy fairy tales are definitely more difficult to film and television than urban workplace novels, and at least more investment is needed.
Modern urban dramas don't need special effects, they only need to work the actors and costumes, and the investment cost is low.
"People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" has a greater benefit, that is, it hugs the thigh of Flame Pictures.
As long as "Yang Jian" releases a random news, it can also gain popularity and attention.
"My idea is actually to transform into a physical book writer after writing "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", what do you think?"
"It's probably not very sensible. Shen Xu took a sip of water and said mercilessly.
"Why?"
Qin Chuan's salted fish genes are affecting his thinking, and countless cells are shouting in unison: rest, rest, lazy, lazy!
Shen Xu pointed to the piece of paper with the treatment of the publishing company written on it: "You have only proven your strength in the field of online novels now, and the physical books have not been published yet, so why rush to cross the border? If you rush too much, you'll just lose yourself from the reader. ”
"People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" finally allowed Qin Chuan to gain a firm foothold in the online literature industry, and leaving directly is a violent thing.
When the time comes, if the two ends are not pleased, the end will be miserable.
Transformation is about coming naturally, not deliberately breaking the boat.
Qin Chuan kept this suggestion in his mind and could not be carried away by victory. He looked at the piece of paper with the name of the publishing company on it, "Which publishing companies did you contact me for?"
"Now you are really fragrant, after I said that it was your agent, these companies have given face, I have done a simple screening, and there are still these five companies left. You see which one you prefer, and I'll talk to them in detail when you're sure. ”
Shen Xu is constantly opening the screen like a male peacock courting today, and he must recommend himself out in a limited time, showing his work ability and connections.
Not everyone can get in touch with so many publishing companies in a short period of time and get good terms!
There's a familiar company on the list.
The first open-book publishing company to contact me actually offered a 12% royalty, but their first printing was only 300,000 copies, and the printing was relatively conservative.
The highest number of first prints was given by Tianqin, who promised to give 500,000 first prints, but the royalty was only 10%.
For new writers, it's nice to have a 5% royalty.
Most companies are reluctant to give royalties to newcomers.
In comparison, 10% is not low!
In Qin Chuan's view, 2 percentage points is very small at first glance, if the previous units are multiplied by millions or tens of millions, these two points mean hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The number of first prints is already high for newcomers, but in Shen Xu's opinion, it is slightly low.
These publishing companies all believe that the sales of the physical book "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" will be relatively low in the first year, and the sales will not skyrocket until the movie "Yang Jian" begins to be promoted.
Therefore, the first print is not too high, so it is not necessary to put it in the warehouse to occupy a place.
"I personally advise you to choose the open book, they have a new boss and it looks good to negotiate. I can increase this royalty by one percentage point, and maybe 500,000 copies of the first printing!"
Qin Chuan seriously suspected that Shen Xu had actually talked about 13%, but in order to show his follow-up negotiation strength in front of him, he deliberately said 1% less in the report.
"I'll go back and learn about your walker culture and sign an agency agreement, how is the agency fee calculated?"
"The company will take a 10% cut of the revenue, that's the norm. 2% of them are my commission, and 8% are company's. ”
Anyway, Huayue will have to pay 10% if it doesn't do anything, and the agency fees for Xingshi Culture are only this number.
Qin Chuan thinks that it is still very cost-effective to sign this kind of literary agency agreement, at least he doesn't have to be a black face, he can make an agreement with Huayue in the next book, only sign the right to read electronsibly, and the rest of the copyright can be paid without giving Huayue!
This is the practice of the vast majority of great gods and senior authors and best-selling authors.
It's just that Huayue is regarded as a channel for many platforms, and it will not be rigidly bound to it.
The author himself went to talk to Hua Yue, and he was usually reluctant to tear his face.
But the literary agent, that is, the agent, will not have this concern, and he himself will be a villain.
After lunch, Qin Chuan put these pieces of paper in his arms, and Shen Xu went back to the company to prepare various contract templates.
After the two met, their aura was quite compatible.
As long as there are no accidents, he will join the Walker culture family!
Sitting in front of the computer, Qin Chuan kept thinking about what he was going to write in his next book, and now he had no clue at all.
The only thing I know is that I have to form a misplaced familiarity with the book in front of me.
If the transformation is too violent, it will flash your waist.
"Alas, otherwise, when the time comes, choose a few titles and outlines for the readers to vote on, and the one with the highest number of votes will be the newcomer. I don't know if this counts as interactive writing. ”
He looked at the subscription numbers on the display and laughed.
At present, "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" is like a rainbow, and the average order has exceeded 80,000 and is moving towards 100,000.
It's only the middle of the month, and the number of monthly passes has reached more than 29,000, narrowing the gap with the newcomer king!
Hanging on the monthly pass list, bad books can become high-quality books, let alone this kind of alternative masterpiece.
Readers of the rest of the novel websites have even heard of the name of this novel, and they have come to Huayue in a curious way to come to a legendary masterpiece that abuses thousands of netizens.
It's rare that some peers have started the game in the Qianlong Forum, betting on when his novel will collapse.
Many people have chosen to put it on the shelves.
Many new authors write books with their own hobbies, and they publish them in a hurry at the beginning of their writing, and they can change three times for a long time when they have a passion for writing at the beginning.
But once the passion fades and you can't find the feeling of writing, it is very likely that you will write worse and worse, and even lose the eunuch halfway.
After a month or two of writing a brain-hole essay like "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", it is very easy to become boring.
Unexpectedly, it still maintains a super high standard!
There is no loss of quality due to the explosion on the shelves.
After so many days of continuous outbreak, the novel is still extremely attractive, and the chase is getting higher and higher!
This also made the netizens of the Qianlong Forum firm up a fact.
Qin Chuan's product is by no means a newcomer, it must be some old man in a vest!
The senior author finally made the author account famous, and almost would not give up this account to open a new one.
This book continues to accelerate on the highway of results, and the increase is enough to make the editor Xu Qiang frequently look sideways!
It's beyond imagination!
A real online god is rising!
