"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not a one-shot deal, it is a series of works that can make Zhang Chu a brand.

Menglong Culture Media attaches great importance to the building of this brand, and has applied for copyright protection in advance in many aspects, and even did not hesitate to have a gap with Nanhai Publishing Company in order to disclose the news.

And now it does work, and all kinds of companies are looking for cooperation to get on this ship.

Zhang Chu was about to hang up the phone, but Zhou Kang over there hurriedly said: "In addition, I hope that you will not be able to agree to their conditions in the afternoon no matter what, no matter how fanciful it is on the surface, the initiative must be in our hands." ”

"No problem. Can I be a mascot in the past?" Zhang Chu said jokingly, "You are responsible for the business matters, but if there are any conditions that I don't want to agree to, I will directly put forward them." ”

To be precise, the initiative should be in the hands of Zhang Chu, and he is not a puppet, at the mercy of the brokerage company.

He is already the cash cow of Menglong Culture Media Company, and he can terminate his cooperation with this company at any time, and he is the one who makes the final decision when faced with some unacceptable conditions!

When he was on the earth, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" became a person who had no right to speak, and Zhang Chu was unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Zhou Kang obviously didn't dare to argue with him, and agreed at this time: "Don't worry, we will definitely respect your opinion, if you don't sign the contract, we talk so much is equal to zero." ”

Now Menglong Culture is like the emperor who pays tribute to Zhang Chu, and his achievements alone far exceed those of the rest of the writers!

Zhang Chu glanced at the matcha that was still foaming under the clerk, and the end time seemed to be quite early, so he asked, "So far, which companies have contacted you?"

"First of all, of course, it was Nanhai Publishing, they were very angry that we deliberately leaked the news to welcome a competitor, but there was nothing we could do. Mr. Cao, a special phone call to negotiate, said that he would give us 12% of the royalties and hand over all the contents of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to their company for publication. ”

Zhou Kang complained slightly, "This is too beautiful to think, and only 12% is like giving alms." ”

"yes. I remember that "Life of Pi" was already 12%, right? "Ghost Blows the Lantern" didn't even help me raise the price, is this here to negotiate?"

Zhang Chu is also a little dissatisfied, is it possible that in terms of commercial value, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series is not as good as "Youth Pi"?

Nanhai Publishing Company thinks too beautifully, Zhang Chu is not Wuxia Ameng for a long time!

"This time, those publishers don't come and don't talk about it if they don't take a 15 percent royalty or a floating royalty. ”

Zhou Kang is full of pride, his confidence lies in the work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", knowing that it will lead an era and trend, why should he sell it cheaply?

Zhang Chu nodded approvingly, if he had a publishing company, where would he be exploited by others.

In fact, his royalties have reached the level of first-line writers, and although many serious writers seem to have a high status, the publishing company will not give them too high a royalty rate.

In the eyes of publishing houses, 10,000 traditional writers who can't sell books can't compare to a best-selling author who can sell books!

"The sincerity of the Shonan Children's Publishing Agency is relatively large, and people are willing to directly pay 5 million in advance for the manuscript, and they are very sure that your "Ghost Blows the Lamp" can make so much money. ”

"Then you just said that what about the Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House that we are going to meet in the afternoon? What conditions did they give me to meet them directly?"

Zhang Chu was a little puzzled in his head, what kind of reputation these companies had.

Zhou Kang also didn't know, he said to his mobile phone: "I don't know what conditions are for the time being, but the rest of the companies are calling or sending emails and even WeChat, so they sent a few leaders over, and they asked to meet together, and they paid special attention to it." ”

These companies seem to be in different fields, and Zhang Chu actually has some guesses in his heart, just to see if he can guess correctly.

……

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was overcast as if it were five or six o'clock in the evening, and it could rain or snow at any time.

Zhang Chu really wants snow, southerners rarely see snow, and it is very unusual to have a little hoarfrost on the ground in winter.

He took his satchel and took a taxi to Menglong Culture Media, feeling like he was going to pass without doing anything this weekend.

The front desk lady already knew Zhang Chu, and quickly brought him to the conference room, where there were already many people sitting at this time.

"Sorry, it looks like I'm late. ”

"No, no, it's because we're afraid of coming late. Xiao Zhang is really young and promising, and he deserves to be the first talent of Yan University. A bald man with black-rimmed round glasses spoke up and complimented.

Wu Tong of Menglong Culture introduced at this time: "This is Mr. Chen of Yuandian Chinese.com, over there is Wang Anning, editor-in-chief of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing Company, and the lady next to him is Cai Ling, the person in charge of Yanjing Radio's literary and artistic programs, and next to you is Mr. Tian of Himalayan FM......"

After this introduction, Zhang Chu finally knew their respective identities, and he raised his hand with a smile: "It's definitely my honor to trouble you to make a special trip!"

Chen Guangtou said with a smile: "For an excellent work like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is not troublesome at all. ”

Many netizens called our radio station and said that they would recommend a book that is especially suitable for telling on "Ghost Stories in the Night". Your book hasn't even appeared yet, and there are already many listeners looking forward to it!" Cai Ling, who was wearing a lady's suit, looked a little strong.

But it's also normal, after all, compared to the rest of the people sitting here, she is actually the highest status.

This time, if Chen Liang of the origin Chinese network specially invited her to come over, Cai Ling would not have been here at all.

Wu Tong didn't waste too much time, he opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, Zhang Chu, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", is already here, and I will have full authority to handle the relevant copyright business on behalf of Zhang Chu. ”

Cai Ling looked around, and she said: "Then we won't beat around the bush, this time we have joined forces to get the various rights to use "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" together." Whether it's publishing, online serialization, magazine serialization, audiobook reading, radio broadcast, etc. ”

"That's right, we feel that Zhang Chu's work has quite potential, rather than digging slowly little by little, it is better to leave it to us to develop it in a unified manner. You must know that every company here is a leader in the industry. You're definitely trying to maximize the commercial potential of this work, right?"

Origin Chinese Network, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, Final Fantasy Magazine, Yanjing Radio, Himalaya FM, these five companies are strong together!

And this is not connected by Menglong culture, it is the suggestion put forward by several of their companies and institutions themselves, except for TV series and movies, it contains almost everything!
