From the warm South China Sea Island to the cold and steep Yanjing in autumn, Gu Xinxue was still shivering with cold even if he prepared his coat.

After all, he didn't have the concept of autumn and winter at all, and this time he came over and was given a good lesson.

In today's physical market, there are so few potential newcomers that publishers have to look for business opportunities on the Internet!

The vast majority of best-selling authors are not as good as the physical version of the Internet in terms of physical book sales, especially the top online fantasy is dominating the sales list.

They don't need publicity, they are already very famous, and many readers who read online are willing to collect a physical book!

After all, the person who can reward the leader of the alliance will not care about that little money.

Why is the copyright of the Internet sold for hundreds of thousands and millions?

Because people have high sales and great influence, and it is especially suitable for adaptation into games or rest.

Even in the publishing industry, it is particularly advantageous, and it will take several years for a traditional writer to write a long novel, even if it is divided into one, two, three, four, or five.

But a random book by an online writer is millions of words, and according to the publication of more than 100,000 or 200,000 words in a book, if this one is popular, dozens of copies can be slowly published, just like the current legend of the Dragon King.

Zhang Chu's works have carved a bloody path in the fiercely competitive online physical version, and Nanhai Publishing Company knows that Zhang Chu is no longer a potential stock now, because he has gradually tapped out the potential and become his own ability.

"Youth Pi" is a key battle, whether Zhang Chu has the ability to gain a firm foothold in the first-class level competition, only if he can withstand the impact of various bestsellers, can he finally transform.

Which top author didn't mature in the battle of the rankings and leave a great reputation!

Gu Xinxue knows that no matter what price he buys "Youth Pi", it is a sure-fire deal, and this book has the ability to hit the top ten or even the champion of the sales list.

Menglong Culture Media was close at hand, he tidied up his clothes, and a fierce battle was about to start.

……

The hot mutton soup pot is fragrant, and the mutton from northern Xinjiang is delicate and moderately fat.

The mutton soup is boiled with lamb ribs, a pot of water, five or six pieces of good-sized lamb ribs are put into the pot, and the waiter waits until the water boils before putting in the ingredients.

Seasoned with yellow radish and sun-dried chili peppers, Ami, a foodie, removes the oil foam from the excess pork ribs from the pan while it is still cooking.

The pork ribs are boiled, and the bone broth is full of flavor!

Zhang Chu used a smooth porcelain bowl to put the hot mutton soup, and then put some coriander into it, and the hot soup warmed up in his whole body at once, as if it had opened up the joints around his body.

"It's delicious, this mutton is also better than the mutton in the south!"

Yang Ling looked at the coriander in Zhang Chu's bowl with some disgust, and he deliberately said, "The coriander party is all heretical. ”

Sun Ruiqi knocked on his bowl and retorted fiercely: "Old Yang, don't make trouble, our coriander party is sitting up straight, where is heresy." ”

Several people in the dormitory immediately burst out laughing, Zhang Chu didn't put it in the pot even if he ate coriander, this is something worth learning from many coriander parties.

The small restaurants near the school are very cheap, even if Zhang Chu wants to have a treat, but the other three people in the dormitory still insist on the AA system, and Anmi and they don't want to lose a friend.

Anyway, on average, it was a matter of a few dozen dollars, and they walked back to the campus one by one.

"I'm going to memorize the words for a while, can any of you go to self-study together?" Yang Ling asked.

This year, the first level 4 English test is just a small meaning to him, and it is very simple to pass with a score of 425, but he wants to get a high score, and by the way, he will prepare for the next level 6 and TOEFL and IELTS.

Sun Ruiqi patted his backpack, and he replied, "Let's go with me, the homework in ancient Chinese hasn't been completed yet." ”

"Then I'll forget it too. ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Chu was the only one left at the west gate of Yan Da, he waved his hand to the three guys, and said with a smile: "Don't look at yourself as nerds, go back and rest early in the evening." ”

For Zhang Chu, he was not willing to push himself too hard, like now he decided to go back and play two games to relax.

Who knew that he hadn't entered the community yet, but he was stopped by Zhou Kang, who was waiting on the side, which scared him!

"Uncle Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Kang spread his hands, "I have something important to call you, but your mobile phone is turned off, so I have to come to the gate of the community to wait for you." ”

Zhang Chu took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, the screen was black, and he didn't know when it would automatically turn off.

He pointed to the garden in the community and said, "Let's talk as we go, what important things can't be discussed tomorrow?"

Zhou Kang took out a printed document from his briefcase, "Today, your editor Gu Xinxue flew over from Nanhai Island to discuss the publication of "Youth School", and finally we reached a preliminary agreement, and we will officially sign it after the results of the award ceremony on October 8. ”

With the dim light of the street lamp, Zhang Chu looked down and looked carefully, ignoring the specific terms and regulations, and looking directly at the numbers.

"10%?

It is clearly stated that the royalty rate of Zhang Chu's "Youth School" is 10%!

And there is also an incremental clause, if "Life of Pi" successfully wins the best feature at the China Good Literature Awards Ceremony on October 8, it will increase by another 1%!

"yes, I spent an afternoon talking with him in the office. In the end, I told him that 10% would sign it, and if it didn't sign, it would be pulled down, and there were many publishers waiting outside, so Gu Xinxue agreed, and he had always said about 8% before. ”

Zhang Chu's first three books are all 5% royalties, which seemed quite good for newcomers at the beginning.

But this time it was directly doubled, and with the same sales, 10% of the royalty can make him get twice the manuscript fee!

Zhou Kang looked very proud, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations on entering the ranks of first-class writers." ”

"Half of the credit for this belongs to you. ”

Zhang Chu is very glad that it is really beneficial to find an agent by himself, and he is still the best professional in fighting for relevant interests.

Even if you pay a certain profit, you will get much more than you originally get!

The 10% royalty is usually only available to first-class writers, and now Zhang Chu has rushed up in one fell swoop with the popularity of "Youth School", if others know about it, he will definitely be envious to death.

"If it weren't for your first three works, if the quality of "Life of Pi" wasn't so good, no matter how good I was, I wouldn't be able to let them go. ”

Zhou Kang said with emotion: "How much is the royalty of a writer, in the end, I still have to use the quality to speak with the previous figures, I am just the icing on the cake!"
