Chapter 67: Literary Agents
"Teacher Qin, are you really the author of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong"?"
Xiang Junming was still a little incredulous, so he stayed after class to confirm.
Qin Chuan thought that this student stayed to help collect the equipment, but he didn't expect that this problem was still the same.
"Why, you don't think I'm writing a book?" he said jokingly, "aren't you going to hand me a blade?"
"No, no, I like this book. I'm also writing a web novel, so I just asked the editor. Why did you write Yang Jian so miserably?"
In the online world, Xiang Junming is the author who scolds Fang Xuan, points out the country, and exalts the text.
But in reality, he is a college student with a slightly dull personality.
I finally found someone who also wrote a book, and the intimacy suddenly became much more.
Qin Chuan said with a smile: "There's no reason, there are too many novels that are written well, and there are very few novels that are sadistic." I had just written my first book, and I wanted to go off the beaten path. ”
He didn't go to educate Xiang Junming and said that he must study hard, and in his previous life, he also wrote books when he was in college, so he can understand this feeling very well.
In the online world, age is the least conceptual.
"Okay, then Mr. Qin, hurry up and update, I'll go back and vote for you now. Xiang Junming turned around and left excitedly.
I don't know the teacher at all, but I have a sense of like-mindedness.
Qin Chuan didn't even have time to ask what the name of the book this kid wrote.
When I'm older, I don't like to communicate and speak in various author groups, and I only use it as a submarine.
He dragged the racket and the ball back and put them away before letting the court administrator take over, and then these courts will be open to the public, allowing people from outside the school and students of the school to enter and rent, at a friendly price of fifty yuan per hour.
The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and Qin Chuan picked it up and looked at it only to find that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Don't buy a house, don't take out a loan, don't decorate, don't listen to lectures!"
After he said this very smoothly, he was ready to hang up the phone and pull him into the blacklist.
"Mr. Qin, wait, I'm not here to advertise. I am Shen Xu, the literary agent of Xingshi Culture, and I am here specifically for you. ”
Qin Chuan muttered in a low voice: "I also said that it was not an advertisement, and the preface does not match the afterword." ”
Of course, Shen Xu on the other end of the phone heard this, but he could only pretend not to hear it, "Mr. Qin can search for Xingshi Culture on the Internet, which is the largest literary agency in China." We've helped writers of all genres find the right publishers, film and TV producers, film studios, and game makers, negotiate contracts and secure payments. In the list of rich writers announced in June this year, half of the writers represented by us occupy half of the country!"
"So who's the most famous writer under your command?"
Qin Chuan really needs to find an agent now, so that he can concentrate on his creation and not be bothered by cumbersome procedures.
Although the film adaptation rights of "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" have been sold, there are still a bunch of copyrights waiting to be sold.
Literary agents have to choose writers, and writers have to choose agents, which is a two-way process.
Let professional people do professional things, so that the effect of copyright development can be maximized.
"Yang Wei, who is ranked 11th on the writer's rich list, was excavated and created by me, but I have now jumped to Xingshi Culture. ”
The implication is clear, it's nothing more than that there are no well-known writers at all.
That's why I put the goal on a writer with great potential like Qin Chuan!
In the past, the publishing market was too small to support brokers.
Nowadays, various copyright transactions are frequent, and literary agents have gradually grown.
Qin Chuan walked towards the cafeteria and said to his mobile phone: "To be honest, I don't know much about you now, you just fancy the value of my book." If you're going to sign me, you've got to have a greeting gift. Why don't you put me in touch with a publishing company?"
He just wanted to try Shen Xu's ability.
It doesn't matter if you're backed by a big company and you've had a great track record.
If you can't negotiate even the most basic publishing business, then there is no need for cooperation.
"I thought the publishing rights were sold, but since it's still in your hands, I'll contact you. You won't be disappointed when the time comes. Shen Xu also knew that this was a test for himself.
didn't jump ship with the best-selling author, and he has the weakest foundation in the current walker culture. Ordinary writers don't want to sign at all, they just want to sign the kind of newcomers who really have potential and are qualified to rush to the rich list of writers.
And this type of writer is very rare, and there may not be one a year.
If it does, the companies will be in a hurry.
Shen Xu finally heard Qin Chuan's phone call from an acquaintance in Blaze Pictures, and after doing his homework briefly, he hurriedly called, for fear of being snatched away.
He wasn't worried about whether his abilities would be recognized, just that someone would be the first to get there!
"Then I'll wait for your good news. Qin Chuan walked to the door of the cafeteria, his stomach growled, and he really didn't want to talk on the phone anymore.
"Goodbye, I'll get in touch now. ”
Suddenly, Qin Chuan thought of the publishing company that he had contacted at the beginning, "Wait a minute, I have a publishing company called Open Book here, you can see how their strength and quotation are." ”
"Open book? This company is familiar to me. Ten years ago, it was very famous in the industry, but now it is not. I should have contact information and will ask first. ”
"Okay, if there's any news, just text me, sometimes it's not easy to answer the phone. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'll be careful next time. ”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Regardless of whether Shen Xu of this walker culture is a liar or not, anyway, try it first, and then talk about it if it is appropriate.
The matter of publication has been delayed for a long time, and it is time to settle it.
He attaches great importance to the publishing company, and may become a physical book writer himself in the future.
A suitable, good publishing company can make the transition less difficult and risky.
If you want to become a big man in the literary world, it's not enough to rely on online novels.
Brick-and-mortar writers have a greater social influence and a similar earning power.
What attracted Qin Chuan the most was the update problem, which was the speed he dreamed of, and he could justifiably be a salted fish!
"Wait, Shen Xu and Yang Wei have fallen in love and killed each other before?"
In Qin Chuan's mind, he instantly made up a story of a writer and his agent falling in love and killing each other.
It's not easy to be ranked 11th, Yang Wei must have real talent and learning, and he is not just being praised.
As the saying goes, a small fire depends on support, and a big fire depends on life!
Qin Chuan himself didn't expect that "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong" did not have the slightest unadaptability in the other world, but became even more popular countless times!
That's fate.

It's still a little bit short of 20,000 votes, so I'll get it out tonight.
In the last two days of the new book list, I hope you will help!
