readx;? Although Peng Min hung up the phone after saying that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But thanks to her, it took another half an hour for Jiang Shuiyuan to barely fall asleep. The next morning, when Jiang Shuiyuan woke up, he felt sleepy and couldn't open his eyes. He shook his head in annoyance: What a premature life!

That's right, an irregular routine like this can really be very premature. This is the lesson of blood and tears summed up by Jiang Shuiyuan's personal experience.

In the year and a half since wearing the bracelet, Jiang Shuiyuan has never given up exploring the rules of the bracelet. Through the analysis and comparison of various data in daily life, and referring to newspapers and books such as health care and aging prevention, we have also explored some empirical practices for prolonging life, such as moderate exercise, reasonable diet, and regular work and rest. In addition, he also found that whenever he won a prize in the competition, the aging speed would be a few beats slower, and he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or an inevitable law, which still needs to be further verified.

At the end of school in the afternoon, Jiang Shuiyuan received a call from Peng Min, saying that she had arrived at the school gate. Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly rushed over with his little follower Wu Zichen. Peng Min gave Jiang Shuiyuan a big hug when he met: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Shuiyuan was a little confused: Why are you thanking me? You help me publish a book, and if you want to thank you, I will thank you!

"Thank you for writing us a wonderful novel!" Peng Min continued, "Although I have read many of your works before this, and I am confident that I have a very intuitive understanding of your talent and writing, I did not expect that your strength is far beyond my imagination, and your novel not only surprised me, but also made me regain the long-lost touch." When I wanted to offer a price of 2.5 yuan per word, there were still many objections in the company, thinking that I was generous to the company and a good private person. Now it seems, it's definitely great value for money!"

Jiang Shuiyuan could imagine the great pressure Peng Min had endured in the company before, and the relief after reading the novel, and said with a smile: "You treat me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman." ”

Wu Zichen didn't have so many scruples, and said directly: "I'm afraid that Manager Peng didn't have much hope before, so when he really saw our boss's work, he would feel double the surprise, right?"

Peng Min didn't hide it: "It can't be said that I don't have much hope, after all, I have read all the articles published by Mr. Jiang in the magazine "Cultivation", but my hope is not as great as the surprise now, and I am secretly ready to fail." At the end of the day, asking a middle school student to complete an 80,000-word essay in 40 days is unlikely to be too high for anyone, and I even imagined that I would receive an anthology of essays for junior high school students!"

"As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment, the greater the surprise!"

"That's right!" Peng Min agreed with Wu Zichen's view, "When I saw Mr. Jiang's work called 'Love Letter', my heart sank to the bottom, because I felt that high school students couldn't handle such a shallow and heavy topic at all, and it would definitely be self-defeating in the end." After I read the first 3,000 words, I regained my original confidence and felt that as long as I continued to write like this, I could give an account to the company. When I saw half of it, I felt that Mr. Jiang's pen power and talent were not inferior to any writer I had ever seen. When I read the last line, tears couldn't help but flow out of my eyes, and I realized that this was a rare masterpiece, so I didn't think about anything else, and immediately called Mr. Jiang and told him how I felt!"

Wu Zichen said: "It's good that Manager Peng can realize that this is a rare masterpiece, so that we don't have to talk much about the conditions for the transfer of the copyright of the novel." ”

"Negotiate the terms of the copyright transfer of the novel?" Peng Min looked at Jiang Shuiyuan in surprise, "Mr. Jiang, didn't we agree to ask you for a manuscript at a price of 2.5 yuan per word?

Wu Zichen hurriedly said: "No, no! We don't want to break the contract, but we just want to sign a supplementary agreement to more strictly define the scope of copyright transfer." Our opinion is that your company can only obtain the right of publication, reproduction and distribution of the work at a price of 2.5 yuan per word, and we reserve the right of authorship, modification, performance, broadcasting, filming, adaptation, translation, etc. of the work, and do not transfer copyright. ”

"Are you planning to adapt the novel into a film and television series?"

"Why not? Don't you think this novel is very suitable for making a movie?" Wu Zichen asked rhetorically.

Peng Min pondered for a moment and then replied, "What if I don't agree?"

"Then you will get your wish and get an 80,000-word essay selection for junior high school students!"

Peng Min's face changed slightly: "Are you blackmailing?"

"This is obviously a negotiation, how can it be considered a coercion?" Wu Zichen said with a smile, "Manager Peng, don't be in a hurry, we can settle accounts calmly." Our boss's novel, with his photo, as long as it is properly publicized and promoted, there should be no problem in selling 100,000 or 200,000 copies through normal channels, right?"

Peng Min did not deny this: "And then?"

In other words, even if our boss signs a minimum of eight points of contract remuneration with the publishing house and retains all copyrights, this novel is conservatively estimated to earn more than 200,000 yuan. This is on par with the remuneration you pay for brocade clothes, right?"

Peng Min opened her mouth as if she wanted to refute, but Wu Zichen didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "It is true that by your brocade clothes and costumes, you can save countless intermediate links, and you can also maximize the sale of novels across the country and create greater influence." But Manager Peng, don't forget, how many pieces of clothing do you have to sell each season? How can it be more than 1 million? If you give away a book for every piece of clothing you sell, it means that our boss has at least 800,000 books less in manuscript fees. How much does that have to be?"

"You only lost a few points of manuscript fees, and the rest of the typesetting fees, printing fees, binding fees, paper fees, editing fees, etc., are all paid by our company. If you do the math, wouldn't our company pay more?"

Wu Zichen said lightly: "We call the part paid by your company as advertising expenses!"

Peng Min hesitated for a long time before nodding: "We can only publish, reproduce and distribute the rights, but we also need a supplementary clause, that is, if the novel is adapted for film and television, Jinyi Clothing must become a film and television costume sponsor, and the company name must also appear in the list of acknowledgements." ”

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "Of course! If it weren't for Manager Peng's request, I would never have written such a long novel." In a sense, you were the one who directly contributed to the creation of this novel, and of course it should appear in the list of acknowledgements!"

"You should thank our company, not me. Peng Min corrected: "But as the executor, I am still very happy to be able to promote the emergence of this masterpiece." When I go back later, I will ask the company's legal department to draw up a contract based on the results of our discussion, and we will officially sign the contract at the launch ceremony. What does Mr. Jiang think?"

Jiang Shuiyuan naturally has no opinion. However, Wu Zichen raised a question: "What is the starting ceremony?"

After listening to Peng Min's introduction, Wu Zichen touched his chin and said slowly: "Manager Peng, since you are going to hold a launch ceremony, why don't you hold another signing event along the way?"

"Signing event?" Peng Min was obviously a little hesitant, "Actually, there aren't many copies of this book in the first printing......"

Wu Zichen said with a smile: "Actually, Manager Peng is worried that no one will buy the book when he signs and sells, and it will be difficult to end up in the end, right? If you think so, you don't understand the influence of our boss in the school at all." Let me tell you, as long as you tell us in advance, the signings can take a photo with our boss alone, and we are guaranteed to sell three to five hundred copies in one morning without much effort!" )
