Chapter Forty-Eight: Gan Qi has a lot of ideas
Dong Yi rented a larger house in the same building, which was not very large, with two bedrooms and one living room, finely decorated, and moved in with his bags.
Because the old driver Li arrived, a family of three, Dong Yi was responsible for the reception arrangements.
"Teacher Dong, this is my daughter Li Doudou, and this is my wife Zhang Ling. Driver Li's big bag was still in the car, so he got out of the car first and introduced it to Dong Yi. The big name of the old driver Li is Li Gang, which is a very common name.
"Doudou is good, Sister Ling is good. Dong Yi said hello.
The people on TV appeared in front of him, and Li Doudou was already so excited that he was incoherent: "Dong ...... Teacher Dong, hello, hello. ”
"Doudou doesn't have to be so nervous, we will still be neighbors in the future, and we can see each other often. I'll help you carry the salute first. Dong Yi actually enjoys this feeling a little, this feeling is actually the feeling of being a star.
Star Dong Yi, but he was extremely down-to-earth, walked to the trunk of the taxi, carried a large box, and carried two bags in his hands, and said: "Brother Li, follow me, eight buildings on the twelfth floor." ”
Li Gang immediately picked up a large box and carried several large and small plastic bags. The two mothers and daughters are also carried on their shoulders.
When they arrived at the twelfth floor of Building 8, they put down their salutes, and Li Gang and his wife immediately began to clean up.
Li Doudou on the side stopped talking a few times, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Dong, why don't you see Teacher Gan?"
"Brother Qi, he's gone out to see an editor-in-chief, and he'll be back in the evening. ”
"Oh. Li Doudou was a little disappointed and began to help his parents clean up the house, and Dong Yi was also idle and helping.
At this time, Gan Qi did not break the law anymore, but took a taxi to a café.
After entering, Ganqi looked left and right, and although he hadn't met, Ganqi seemed to know which people were waiting for him. A man about sixty years old wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a suit, and having a great aura, this should be a relatively big leader.
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a shirt, the distribution is very exquisite, with a literary atmosphere, this should be the editor-in-chief.
There is also a person about forty years old, in a suit and leather shoes, with a briefcase by his side, and black-rimmed glasses in front of him, as thick as the bottom of a bottle, and he looks like a person who reads amazingly. This should be the editor Meng Lang.
Gan Qi walked over to that side, and the three of them also found Gan Qi, and after whispering a few words, they all stood up.
"Hello three leaders, I'm Ganqi. Ganchi held out his hand.
Gan Qi saw people very accurately, the person wearing the thick eyes at the bottom of the bottle was really Meng Lang, and shook hands with Gan Qi with a smile: "Hello Mr. Gan, I am Meng Lang, this is the editor-in-chief of the poetry magazine, and this is the vice president of the publishing group, Jiang Lang." ”
"Ai Yao, it's a good thing. ”
"Jiang Qingshan, hello. ”
"Sit and sit ......," Meng Lang greeted, and the scene was very formal.
So Gan Qi took the initiative to speak: "The three leaders have waited for a long time, right? ”
Editor-in-chief Ai Yao said with a smile: "No, no, it's just been here." ”
Vice President Jiang Qingshan also had a smiling face: "Teacher Gan doesn't have to be too polite, we are not leaders, this is back, the main thing is to discuss some things with Teacher Gan, one, it is naturally the matter of the column of the poetry magazine, this matter will be told to you by Ai Yao later, what about my side, or the publication of poetry collections, your poems are really well written, read one casually, as if time has returned to decades ago, that kind of appeal is intoxicating and full of beauty." ”
Ai Yao answered on the side: "Mr. Gan, Mr. Jiang will not come forward in person for general publishing, this time he was really infected by your words, so he had to come in person." ”
Ai Yao is raising his own leadership, and he is also showing a kind of sincerity to Gan Qi.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. Gan Qi said politely.
Jiang Qingshan waved his hand: "Eh, you're polite again, aren't you? We don't have to be so polite, it's rare for a talent like you to come out of the poetry world, just these more than 30 poems, you will definitely dominate for decades." It is also my honor to be able to come and talk to Mr. Gan about this. ”
After Jiang Qingshan finished speaking, he waved his hand at Meng Lang.
Meng Lang hurriedly took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and said: "Mr. Gan, that's the case, this is a contract, in short, the group means that it wants to publish your poetry collection exclusively, and the royalty is fifteen percent, no matter how many times it is reprinted, it will be according to this royalty, I don't know what you mean, Mr. Gan?"
Generally speaking, the royalty of the author is between 6 and 10 percent, and 10 percent is already a very high percentage, and 15 percent is extremely rare. In other words, a book costs twenty, and for every one sold, Gan Qi gets three dollars.
The channels of the writer publishing group are very wide, there are market channels and non-market channels, and the market channels are easier to understand, such as the Xinhua bookstore in the country, don't underestimate the Xinhua bookstore, a writer's publication, if you want to enter the Xinhua bookstore and put it on the shelves, it is not a simple thing.
The vast majority of writers' books have very narrow sales channels, and even some writers can only find their own way to sell books, but in this era, the network media is extremely developed, and it is a great thing for an ordinary writer to sell tens of thousands of physical books.
Writers publishing groups also have other sales channels, that is, major universities, major libraries, government agencies at all levels, and even various groups and associations, etc., which belong to internal promotion.
This sales model is not understood by many people, but in fact, the sales volume can also be quite scary.
Gan Qi is here, in fact, he has no idea about royalties or anything, he just wants to meet the people in this circle, this circle can be said to belong to the high-end circle, of course, it does not mean that other circles belong to the low-end circle.
However, in the field of literature and art, there is still a mainstream theory.
Gan Qi didn't want to crawl in the entertainment industry, so he needed to enter this kind of circle and become famous in this kind of circle.
The three of them all looked at Gan Qi, probably a little worried that Gan Qi refused, and those who are in contact with literature know that most of these people are strange and not easy to deal with.
For example, when Ganqi met yesterday, Ganqi was in a daze and directly refused, which is also something that ordinary people would not do. If ordinary people know that the leaders of the writers' publishing group and the editor-in-chief of poetry magazines want to see them, where is there a refusal, they wish they could see them in the next second.
Making money is just incidental, so Gan Qi said: "Okay, okay, you print yours, I don't care about these things." ”
Gan Qi's reaction is also a bit strange. When it comes to vital interests, Ganchi doesn't care at all. There is such a thing as exclusive publishing, and I don't even ask about the number of years of authorization.
Meng Lang was overjoyed, and took out the pen directly from the briefcase: "Teacher Gan, then let's sign the contract, sign it here, the authorization period is ten years, and we will renew the contract after ten years." ”
Gan Qi took the pen and waved his hand.
After that, Jiang Qingshan took the pen and said with a smile: "Teacher Gan is really an interesting person, I like literati like you, there is no sourness, and there is everyone's demeanor." You can rest assured, we will help you run it well, first recommend it to the People's Daily to open a short column, and then apply for the Lu Xun Literature Award for you. ”
Ai Yao also said on the side: "Teacher Gan, in the next Lu Xun Literature Award, if your poetry collection does not win the award, others will be embarrassed to come to the stage to accept the award." ”
Gan Qi smiled: "Editor-in-chief Ai, you can't boast like this anymore......"
"Teacher Gan, don't worry, I'm not talking nonsense, you just wait. Ai Yao is confident, because he is one of the members of the jury of the Lu Xun Literature Award, although the award is not up to him alone, but he knows that other people's works are too far from Ganqi.
Lu Xun Literature Award, just by listening to the name, you know the status of this award, which is already the highest literary honor award in the country.
Gan Qi is the rhythm of his debut at the peak of his debut in poetry.
Ganchi hadn't thought much of it himself.
Jiang Qingshan finished signing and stood up: "Teacher Gan, let's finish eating?"
Gan Qi got up, but said with a smile: "It's not appropriate to drink alcohol today, the three teachers forgive me." ”
Jiang Qingshan raised his big hand, waved it on Gan Qi's arm, and said with a smile: "What age, where is there so much wine to drink? ”
"Very good. ”
"Speaking of which, I also listened to Mr. Gan's song yesterday, that ordinary road has a very high literary level, not a literary talent like Mr. Gan, I really can't fill in such words. Jiang Qingshan began to chat, and several people were also walking outside.
"Teacher Jiang can still listen to such a song?" Gan Qi asked with a smile.
"Don't look at my age, although I am sixty years old, but I can still listen to the songs you wrote, I am young, and my heart is hot, otherwise how can I be moved by your poems?" Jiang Qingshan himself laughed.
"Next time, I will write some songs that people in Mr. Jiang's generation listen to. "Ganchi has a bit of an idea.
"That's a good feeling, Mr. Gan is really talented, his literary accomplishment is so high, and he can also understand the rhythm of music, quite the style of an ancient elegant person!" Jiang Qingshan is obviously also a very literate person.
Gan Qi said modestly: "What kind of demeanor, it's just a fool's errand." ”
……
A few people chatted and arrived at a hotel not far away.
Tomorrow, Gan Qi has to participate in the recording of the new issue of "Chinese Good Songs", which is a headache.
