Chapter 208: Come on for the college entrance examination, everything goes smoothly (4/4)

Generally speaking, most of the famous writers who can make a difference with the publisher have already written several books that are selling well.

And even if this condition is proposed, it will not be too high, most of them hover around 5 to 8 percent, and the maximum will not exceed 12 percent, because this is the limit.

And the share, as the author, is completely sitting and counting the money.

But the cost, printing, channels, publicity, and so on are all handled by the publishing house.

In terms of manpower and material resources, the publishing house is fully responsible, so Yi Qing's 20% condition really scared Jingshu.

Although I knew that this was the Admiral's asking for a price, I still couldn't help but want to complain.

Admiral: So how much is your publishing house willing to produce?

Jing Shu: Five percent...

Admiral: Are you sure?

At this glance, Jing Shu wiped his sweat, and felt more and more that the admiral teacher behind the computer screen was not a newcomer at all, or a famous person who opened a new vest?

After all, how can a newcomer have such a tough stance?

With this thought, Jingshu became more and more cautious.

Jingshu: Teacher Admiral, the price can be negotiated again. If you know a little about this industry, you will know that the authors who can give up the buyout and choose to share are generally paved with a hot book as a foreshadowing, and you are just a newcomer now, and what you need most is the accumulation of fame...

The implication of this sentence is very subtle.

But Yi Qing could see that it was nothing more than saying that he was not famous now, and it was okay to choose to share, but Moxiang Shuge Publishing House had a strong channel, and when selling books, it could completely create fame for him.

So the implication is that he shouldn't be so lion open-mouthed.

Of course, there is a more subtle meaning, that is, if the "Admiral" is just a new vest, then if you want to get greater benefits, you should reveal the previous pseudonym.

Thinking of this, Yi Qing smiled slightly, and was not dissatisfied, they are now negotiating, so naturally they can't bring personal emotions.

Admiral: Do you think that my current fame still needs a publisher to promote me?

It's so embarrassing to hear this!

Jingshu was stunned, because the reason why "Love Photo" became popular was not at all the fame of the pen name of the admiral, but the quality of the novel.

This is the quality of the novel, causing a fire. It's not the fans accumulated by the author's pen name in the past that set off the popularity.

Although this situation is not different on the surface, it is fundamentally different.

Because although the pen name is important, the author relies on the novel to eat, and the pen name is only a guarantee of the quality of the novel, but when the quality of an author's novel works deteriorates, the pen name will gradually lose popularity.

Although Jingshu doesn't know how old the Admiral Teacher is, he has already reached the peak of his writing.

The other party is completely shaping the quality of the novel with the writing and story structure.

And the writing will not decline, so as long as the admiral can ensure that the level of story structure does not decline, with the other party's writing, he will definitely be able to sit firmly in the romance novel world.

Maybe a master is about to rise in the world of romance novels.

Thinking of this, Jingshu's heart was hot, but the task given to him by the editor-in-chief was now a bit of a headache for him.

Because the admiral teacher doesn't look like a newcomer in the industry at all, but a bit of an old fritter.

The five percent share obviously doesn't move him.

However, his authority can't be raised too much.

But "Love Photo" must be won, because this novel appeared in their unreleased novel forum, and if it was snatched away by other publishing houses, especially Sage Book House Publishing House, it would be a joke.

Thinking of this, Jing Shu took a deep breath and typed, "So, Teacher Admiral, what is the price you want?"

Admiral: Twenty percent, that's a bit of a tough place, so let's take a step back, 12 percent.

Jingshu's eyelids jumped, and the 12% share was completely a requirement that could only be put forward by the level of a top-level writer, and a writer at this level had completely ignored the classification of novels.

Each work can trigger a reading frenzy among readers.

For example, Takujin Yamato in the Japanese novel industry is now a top-level writer, but the other party debuted at the age of 20, and now he is 54 years old, and he has been writing for a full 34 years before he reached this level and established his position in the industry.

Now the Admiral wants to get a 12% share as soon as he comes, which is really too difficult for a strong man.

But the quality of "Love Photo" is really worth the price, of course, if this novel is written by Tuozhen Yamato, even if the authority is insufficient, Jingshu will not have a second word, and will agree.

After thinking about it, Jingshu was really embarrassed, so he had to say: "Teacher Admiral, the price you raised is beyond my authority, I need to report, can you wait?"

Admiral: No problem, you can go.

――

At this time, in the editorial department of Tokyo Moxiang Shuge Publishing House, Lin Jingshu, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but stand up and smiled bitterly.

As a Chinese, he can sit in the position of editor-in-chief, not because the editor-in-chief is also a Chinese, but because he has won recognition by his own professionalism, so he has sat in this position.

Not only now, but it has been five years since he entered the Moxiang Shuge Publishing House, during which he has unearthed three famous novelists and dealt with countless authors.

Yi Qing is definitely not the most difficult, but he is definitely the one with the biggest appetite.

Just by virtue of the newcomer's attitude, the asking price is so high, it is a headache.

But the quality of the other party's novels is difficult to give up, or can't be given up.

"If only I could have noticed it earlier when "Love Photo" hadn't started to catch fire. ”

Lin Jingshu was annoyed in his heart, the reason why he didn't notice "Love Photo" was not that he thought the quality of this novel was not good at first, but that he didn't know that this novel existed at all.

Or that the presence of station B is too low, and he didn't notice this website at all.

I learned about "Love Photo" four days ago, that is, on the Novel Forum.

It's just that someone introduced it at the beginning, and he went to see it with curiosity, and this look is indeed a little amazing.

But at that time, "Love Photo" had not yet ended, so the final sublimation had not yet been shown, and it was not until yesterday that he was shocked.

And after he finished reading it, he planned to contact Yi Qing the next day, that is, today, and the editor-in-chief asked him to contact Yi Qing as soon as possible early in the morning.

Naturally, he did not give up this task, and directly accepted it under the envious gaze of all the editors-in-chief.

Now it feels a little tricky, thinking of this, I can't help but sigh, he obviously didn't do this well.

I came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office and knocked slightly.

"Come in. ”

"Editor-in-chief!"

When Lin Jingshu entered the door, hearing the voice, Fu Yuan couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and said with a slight smile, "It's Jingshu... What's the matter?"

In Japan's Moxiang Shuge Publishing House, the entire publishing house is that Fu Yuan and Lin Jingshu are Chinese, so they are naturally closer, and sometimes Fu Yuan will even invite Lin Jingshu to his house from time to time.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is more of a friend than a relationship.

Of course, in the publishing house, Lin Jingshu remembers his identity and naturally does not joke.

"It's about that novel. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yuan's eyes froze.

Recently, the only novel that can make him pay attention is "Love Photo", and now Lin Jingshu can't make up his mind, I'm afraid this is the only novel.

"What makes you uncertain should be the price, right?"

"Yes. ”

Lin Jingshu smiled bitterly, and when he saw Fu Yuan's gaze, he paused and said, "The other party wants a 12% share." ”

"What a big appetite. ”

Hearing this, Rao is his identity as the editor-in-chief, and Fu Yuan couldn't help but inhale.
