Chapter 36 Millions of Manuscript Fees
On Saturday the next day, Wu Xiaotian, as an intern, didn't have to go to work, but he got up late.
When Wu Xiaotian woke up, he looked sideways and found that Bei Bei had already woken up, sitting on her cute princess bed, obediently playing with Transformers.
When he looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Oops, noos.
He hurriedly got up and got dressed, it was so late, Bei Bei must be hungry.
Last night, the live broadcast ended, and it was almost time to get off work.
After getting off work, he went out for a meal with Song Yu and Xiaotao, and when he came home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
The speed was very fast, and twenty minutes later, Wu Xiaotian put on a pair of big slippers and appeared at a breakfast shop downstairs in the community with Beibei.
Because of the proximity to the school and the weekend, the students wake up late, so breakfast is still available.
Wu Xiaotian ordered a bowl of porridge, a few fritters, and the bread and milk that Bei Bei ate.
While eating, two more students came into the breakfast shop, and the content of the chat after they ordered breakfast made Wu Xiaotian pay attention.
"Fourth, what did you watch yesterday?"
"I don't know, I just was about to watch the provincial TV station "Super Entertainment", I clicked in casually, I didn't expect it to be quite interesting, but I ended up patronizing to watch the live broadcast, and I forgot to watch "Super Entertainment" again. ”
"It's a live game, a show I haven't seen before, and you can watch it when you have nothing to do. I went in yesterday to watch.,It's still a middle school student.,But seriously.,That's not much better than us.,But it's fun to explain while playing games.。 ”
"Haha, yes, yesterday I saw that game live streamer, his opponents were about to be mad, but they were not happy, the people we watched were quite happy, I don't know when there will be one, and I want to see it again. ”
"I don't know, we've been paying more attention to the provincial TV website recently, maybe there will be more. ”
"Well, that's right. ”
Wu Xiaotian listened to their conversation now, and smiled in his heart.
I didn't expect that just a live broadcast would have such a spreading effect.
Not bad, not bad.
In a relaxed mood, Wu Xiaotian ate an extra bowl of porridge and two fried dough sticks.
After eating, he found that he had eaten it, and now it was okay to go home, so he simply took Bei Bei to wander around the school.
In the past few days, Bei Bei has followed Bei Bei to the TV station for an internship every day, and she has stayed in the TV station nursery, and she hasn't gone out with Bei Bei for a long time.
"Daddy, that, butterfly. Bei Bei suddenly shouted, pointing into the distance.
Wu Xiaotian looked in the direction of Beibei's little hand.
It turned out that they had already walked to a garden, which was full of all kinds of flowers, and a few butterflies were flying around in the garden, which was very beautiful.
"Beibei, you wait, Dad will help you catch butterflies. Wu Xiaotian saw Bei Bei's happy face, and he had an idea, and said softly to Bei Bei.
"No, Dad, if you don't catch butterflies, you won't be beautiful if you catch them. Bei Bei took Wu Xiaotian's hand, shook his head and said.
"Doesn't Bei Bei like it?" Wu Xiaotian was a little strange.
"I like it, but I can't catch it, it hurts them. Bei Bei turned her head and looked at the butterflies flying around among the flowers, seriously reluctant, but still said this sentence resolutely.
"Ahh
Wu Xiaotian listened to Bei Bei's words and looked at Bei Bei in surprise.
He suddenly noticed that Bei Bei seemed to have grown up, and children who were less than three years old knew that catching butterflies would hurt them.
The two walked around for a while, it was already May, and the sun outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the sun was getting worse, so they went back.
As soon as I got home and closed the door, the mobile phone rang, it was Hu Yidao's phone.
Wu Xiaotian connected.
"Hey, Brother Becky. Hu Yidao was still full of energy over there, listening to the voice, it seemed that he was in a pretty good mood today.
"Brother Hu, I don't rest on weekends. Wu Xiaotian said.
He and Hu Yidao haven't been in touch for a while, and they're busy with internships these days.
"Hehe, what's the rest? I'm a person who can't be idle, and today I specially called you to tell you a great piece of good news. Hu Yidao said excitedly over there.
"What's the news?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
"Haha, what else can it be, it's your "Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has been officially sold for a week, with a first printing of 100,000 copies per volume, and all of them were sold out in less than a week, with a price of 29 yuan per copy, your royalties are 11%, and then deducting taxes, your manuscript fee has a total of more than 1 million, haha, this is a rare sales volume of our publishing house. ”
Hu Yidao couldn't close his mouth with a smile, this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" sold well, and his performance was good, which not only promoted him and greatly increased his status in the publishing house, but also gave him a lot of bonuses.
"Yesterday I helped you apply for a special process, and told the publishing house about your situation, you adopted a daughter when you were a student, which is not easy, so the president specially approved, and your bonus can be sent today. Hu Yidao continued over there.
"More than 1 million? Wu Xiaotian was also stunned.
He absolutely believed that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" could be a big hit, but when the real sales came up and more than 1 million cash arrived, he couldn't help but be surprised.
More than 1 million, what is the concept, a person's annual salary of 100,000 yuan, he will have to earn it for ten years without eating or drinking.
With the money, you don't have to worry about Beibei's child support anymore.
Well, you can buy a house and a car, but it seems to be a little less, and it's okay to pay a down payment.
"Yes, it should be available immediately, this is only a week's sale, and I expect that the final manuscript fee will be at least tens of millions. Hu Yidao said.
"Tens of millions?"
Wu Xiaotian was hit by money again
"Haha, thank you, Brother Hu, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around. Wu Xiaotian came back to his senses and said with a smile.
"It's a treat, and if you want to invite you, I'll invite you. However, I have something I need your help with. Hu Yidao hesitated over there and said it.
"What's the matter?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
"Recently, I served as the editor-in-chief of a magazine in our publishing house, and I would like to ask you to write a martial arts novel on it. Hu Yidao said.
Recently, because of his soaring performance, his position has also been promoted accordingly, and he has become the editor-in-chief of the publishing house "Legend Magazine". However, the sales of this magazine are not very good, not everyone is convinced by his promotion, many people are waiting to find fault with him, he is under a lot of pressure, so he wants Wu Xiaotian to serialize novels on it.
"Martial arts novels serialized in magazines?"
"Well, you're just serializing novels in magazines, and I'm in charge of your manuscript fee, and I'll give you a price of 1,000 words per thousand, which is the highest price I can offer. Hu Yidao explained over there.
Hu Yidao is also ruthless, although Wu Xiaotian's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a big hit, but this is the only novel he can get his hands on now, and no one knows whether the next novel will be good or bad. However, Hu Yidao decided to take a gamble and gave Wu Xiaotian a very high manuscript fee, he believed that Wu Xiaotian's strength would definitely not disappoint him.
"Yes, you can. ”
Wu Xiaotian nodded in agreement, Master Jin Yong's novel has been verified on the Internet, and he wants to see what the effect of serialization in the magazine will be.
Moreover, Hu Yidao is a good person, he has just taken over a magazine, it should be the time when power is unstable, but he dares to give himself such a high manuscript fee, he is very sincere, Wu Xiaotian can still support it.
"However, there is something going on today, and the new novel can't be given to you, so it's estimated that it will be tomorrow at the earliest. ”
Wu Xiaotian made an appointment to meet Wei Ran this afternoon, and it is estimated that he will not have time to write. Although it was easy for him to write a novel, he had to think about what he was going to write, and it had to be a direct serialization, so it had to be very appealing to the reader.
"It's great that you can give it tomorrow. Wu Xiaotian's answer made Hu Yidao overjoyed.
His original expectation was that Wu Xiaotian would conceive it within a month, and it would already be very good to give him a novel a month later, but he didn't expect Wu Xiaotian to say that it would be okay tomorrow, it seems that this time the bet was right.
