Chapter 194: A Thousand Words
"Product placement? That's an interesting statement, and the word product placement is very apt. What do you mean, Teacher Zhuang?" said Yao Qian.
Of course, Zhuang Yan would not do such a thing as a price drop, but he was a little interested in the offers of these local governments, and he asked, "Have you talked about remuneration?"
When Yao Qian heard Zhuang Yan's words, he thought there was a play, and said with a smile: "I didn't talk about it too specifically, but I also talked about it roughly, among which Phoenix Town said it most directly and clearly, they said that as long as their town was mentioned, it would cost a thousand yuan per word." ”
"A thousand dollars a word, tsk. Zhuang Yan sighed again and again, "This Phoenix Town is quite expensive, at this price, if I write a thousand words to their town, it will not be a million." ”
"If you really want to write a thousand words to them, they will absolutely pay for the million, and I tell you, now that the border city is out of the matter, I think the price will rise. Yao Qian said.
Zhuang Yan laughed: "Hey, you guy has a very spicy hand, I have a lot of money, and you are not satisfied." ”
Yao Qian suddenly said solemnly: "Teacher Zhuang, in my heart, your book is not a thousand gold, but a word of ten thousand gold, a word of one hundred thousand gold, I don't think it is too much." ”
This sycophant was so loud that Zhuang Yan couldn't help but touch his nose and said, "Okay, if you pat me on the back, I won't give you a salary increase." ”
"I'm ...... in my heart"
"Come on. Zhuang Yan immediately stopped him, "If you shoot it again, my ass will be red for you." ”
"Hehe, let's get down to business, this ...... What do you think about product placement?" said Yao Qian.
To be honest, when Yao Qian said a thousand yuan per word just now, and there was still room for price increases, Zhuang Yan was a little moved. After all, this money is too easy to earn, just write a few hundred or thousands of words, and millions will be in hand. If you are a little more ruthless and write them 10,000 words at once, then 10 million will be in hand.
And all Zhuang Yan has to do is to move his fingers and give them those places to say good things.
However, after thinking for a while, Zhuang Yan still decided to refuse. Because he suddenly remembered that he was now a billionaire with a net worth of tens of millions, and there was no need to do such a cheap thing for the sake of this money.
It is a terrible thing for a writer to be commercialized in this way, not to mention that his reputation may be damaged, but from the heart, a writer who sells advertisements can write something good.
Although Zhuang Yan himself is not a genuine writer, he still has this integrity.
"You can push this thing for me, we don't lack this money, and you can also help me push this matter in the future." Zhuang Yan finally said.
Yao Qian on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, and then said, "Okay, I know, I'll push these off." ”
Zhuang Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong with Yao Qian, and asked, "Yao Qian, how can I hear that you are quite concerned about this matter?"
Yao Qian paused for another moment before he spoke: "Teacher Zhuang, I don't want to lie to you, the reason why I am so concerned is because if this thing is done, they promised me to give me a red envelope." ”
Zhuang Yan nodded, this can be explained, but Zhuang Yan does not blame Yao Qian, it is not shameful to love money, and Yao Qian did not do anything to be sorry for himself because of money.
He just told him these things and let him make his own decisions.
"Well, I know, but since they contacted you two days ago, why didn't you talk about it two days ago?" Zhuang Yan asked again.
Yao Qian said: "When they contacted me, my first reaction was that I felt that this matter was a bit of a loss, and you would never agree to it, Mr. Zhuang." ”
"Then why did you tell me again today?" Zhuang Yan asked.
"It's because of today's news, when I saw the news that Chadong was going to change its name, I thought of two things. First, after this news came out, this ...... The product placement thing is also more marketable. Secondly, the name change of Chadong must have been discussed with you, since you have no opinion, I wonder if you are not resistant to product placement. Yao Qian said.
Zhuang Yan nodded, Yao Qian did have his logic in it, and it was not difficult to guess that Cha Yu had discussed it with him, because Yao Qian knew that He Bing was related to him, and the itinerary for the dragon boat race had also been sent to Yao Qian before.
In this set of logic, if Zhuang Yan doesn't have any opinions on the recent commercial development of Chadong Town, it is very likely that he will accept other business activities, so Yao Qian wants to try it, anyway, he just says it, whether it succeeds or not, there is no loss.
"Okay, I know the matter, I didn't let you get extra money, I'm sorry for you, I'll send you a year-end bonus to compensate you when I go back. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.
Yao Qian hurriedly said: "Teacher Zhuang, aren't you slapping me in the face, I'm embarrassed about making extra money." ”
"If you have it, you will be embarrassed, okay, hang up, remember to contact Yanjing Art Film Studio in the past few days to understand the other party's intentions. Zhuang Yan said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, don't worry, I will definitely sell "Shuke and Beta" at a good price. ”
……
After hanging up Yao Qian's phone, Zhuang Yan thought for a while with a teacup, the salary he gave Yao Qian was indeed a little low.
Yao Qian is now doing the work of a writer's agent, and his ability and resources are not inferior to that of a professional writer's agent. At the beginning, he may still be a little unskilled in business, but in this short period of one or two months, he has already figured out the way and done a good job.
The salary given to Yao Qian before was not low, it was a white-collar salary, but for a person like Yao Qian, 20,000 yuan a month was still too little. You know, other writers' agents are commissioned.
As Zhuang Yan's writer agent, if he gets a commission, even if he only takes one point, it will definitely be more than this money.
And Zhuang Yan also specially inquired before, the writer's agent's share is not the same as the football agent's share, and it is not a fixed number.
The proportion of the share is determined according to the strength of the agent and the fame of the writer himself, some unknown writers, if they want to rely on a more powerful writer agent, the share to be paid must be high, and some outrageous even to fifty-fifty shares.
Even if the share ratio is relatively low, it is generally around 5%, and it will not be less.
However, there is no option in Zhuang Yan's salary plan, and he decided to increase Yao Qian's salary, not much at one time, just about 10% each time.
This slow rise can continue to give Yao Qian motivation and keep him motivated to work.
