Chapter 12: The First Confrontation with the Publishing House

After more than half a month of military training, the real university life officially began.

He Chen's physical condition can only be regarded as the average among ordinary people, and during military training, he also checked his attributes through the guò system.

Health: 44. Reaction: 37. Physical Intensity: 46.

Each has improved to a certain extent, and if it is converted to 1000 prestige for 1 attribute, it is equivalent to saving 9000 prestige points for He Chen.

I just don't know if this boost will fall back because I don't exercise?

Zhou Zhe has no interest in He Chen's comics, but he is not prejudiced, so he occasionally chats with He Chen about some economic problems.

How can He Chen know this kind of problem, he has never studied economics in his two lives, so he can only give him a little bit of the grand industrial chain brought by the comics of the previous life.

As for Zhuang Bufan, after that time, he rarely talked to He Chen. But he and Luo Hao walked quite closely, and Luo Hao didn't know why Zhuang Bufan was like this.

He Chen touched his nose, and sure enough, humans are very strange creatures.

The days of military training were very intense, He Chen didn't have time to draw comics, but he was not idle, these days he looked up Yanjing's publishing house that published comics on the Internet.

In the end, I selected a few of the most powerful, and then took advantage of the weekend to visit them one by one with my own sketches.

He didn't submit the article by email, he wanted to see for himself what these editors really thought of the comics!

It's almost October, the weather has become much cooler, with the bustling crowd, taking the subway, humming the theme song of the first part of the ** thing elf, He Chen came to the first publishing house.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

The front desk lady asked very politely with a sweet smile on her face.

It's a great publishing house!

He Chen admired in his heart, a little nervous: "You, hello, I'm here to contribute." "Submitting in person is to promote your own products, as an otaku, it is the first time in his life, and nervousness is inevitable.

"Do you have an appointment editor?"

"Huh?" When He Chen heard this, the editor still had to make an appointment, which no one had ever told him!

The front desk glanced at it and understood, without any impatience, and always kept the same smile: "Then what is your submission?"

"Comics!" He Chen said hurriedly.

"Comics?" The front desk was stunned, as a big publishing house, she has seen countless people and countless contributions, but what is a comic?

“…… Picture. He Chen was reluctant in his heart, but he still explained for her in words that she understood better.

After hearing this, the front desk suddenly realized: "Well, please wait with her in the reception room, and we will contact the editor for you." As he spoke, he beckoned a beautiful woman, and He Chen followed the beauty away.

There are many reception rooms, and the soundproofing effect is very good, He Chen looked around curiously, listening to the occasional roaring sound from inside.

"Editor Zhao, my book has more than 10 million hits on the Internet, why can't it be published?"

"No matter how high the click is, there is a gross use, and the writing required for physical publishing is different from that of online articles!"

"Mr. Zhang, do you see the plot in your manuscript, have you changed it slightly?"

"What! Why do you want to change, I think that's the best way!"

"But, if you write like this, I'm afraid you'll lose a lot of readers......"

"Hey, that's because they can't read it, my book is only written for those who understand it, and if you can't understand it, let them go!"

“……”

"This is it, please come in. The beauty suddenly stopped in front of an empty room and said politely.

He Chen glanced up, there was a "7" mark hanging on it, this number is good, He Chen's lucky number, does it indicate that today is going to be a good start?

Walking in, the room is simply furnished.

"Excuse me, tea, coffee or juice?"

"Oh, tea, tea. ”

Then, the beauty nodded to He Chen, closed the door, and after a while, He Chen heard a knock on the door again.

"Please come in. ”

The beautiful woman came in, brought a cup of tea to He Chen, and then pointed to a button on the side of the table and said, "The editor you contacted will come in a moment, if you have any requirements, please press this to contact the front desk." ”

He Chen nodded, and after the beauty left, he finally breathed a sigh.

The first time I came to this kind of place, I was too nervous. He Chen adjusted his posture, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and said to himself: "This treatment is really good, it seems that the editors here should not be so short-sighted." ”

He Chen took out EVA and ** thing elf, ** thing elf because there were too many, he only took the content of the first 10 words, and basically explained the structure of this world completely.

After thinking about it, I put the EVA in it again, and I still took the ** thing elf to probe the mouth first.

After waiting for a while, the editor came, and it was an uncle who looked to be in his thirties and had a Chinese face.

"I'm sorry, I'm so busy today that I've kept you waiting. When the uncle entered the door and saw a teenager, he was slightly stunned, but immediately recovered, closed the door, and said as he walked.

"It doesn't matter. He Chen understands very well that if the editor of a publishing house has nothing to do all day, it is not far from closing.

He Chen...... I'm the editor of the villain book here, Guo Yi, you can just call me Brother Yi. ”

He Chen had done a rank at the front desk, and when Guo Yi came, he already knew He Chen's name.

"Are you going to submit a villain book? Do you have an original manuscript?" Guo Yi did things vigorously, and after sitting opposite He Chen, he didn't say anything about the scene, and went straight to the point.

"Yes!" He Chen handed the ** thing elf to Guo Yi.

Guo Yi was stunned again, villain books are the kind of short stories used for children's enlightenment, how could he have seen such a thick pile of villain books drawn on standard A4 paper?

Guo Yi took it with both hands, and the cover read "** thing elf" five big words.

What kind of story is this?

With curiosity in his heart, Guo Yi opened the cover, and as soon as he saw the first page, he was stunned again. He found that today seemed to be the day when he was stunned the most.

"This painting...... It's too detailed. "** The little elf is not known for its painting skills, but even so, it has thrown off hundreds of streets of the so-called villain book now.

Guo Yi frowned at first, and his eyes lit up after reading a few pages: "This kind of story is very interesting...... It's very fairytale. ”

"Not bad! Very good!" Guo Yi praised again and again while watching, as the editor of a big publishing house, how could he not see the charm of this?

"The never-before-seen story is wonderful, and it's full of love, hard work, and justice, and it's fun and educational. It gives me a completely different feeling from a traditional villain book!" After reading it, Guo Yi sorted out the sketch, handed it to He Chen, and said with his eyebrows fluttering.

Of all the editors of the publishing house, the editor of the villain book is the lowest - because it is a child's thing, and it does not make money. If it weren't for the state's subsidies, I'm afraid they would just cut this type.

But after seeing the villain book brought by the kid today, he seemed to see a new door - it turns out that villain books can also be so interesting!

Hearing Guo Yi say this, He Chen understood that he had basically gotten guò.

is worthy of a classic, and he didn't even use the sales pitch that he had been preparing for a long time, so he directly conquered the editor.

"Of course it's different!" He Chen said proudly, "It's just a villain book, how can it compare to my comics!"

"Comics...... It was called comics!" Guo Yi muttered to himself, and then made a decision: "Okay! Now let's talk about the publishing contract!"

It's finally ready to be published!

He Chen was excited in his heart, but his face was not shocked. Although it was his first time here, he knew that if the situation was superficial, the negotiations would already be in a passive position. In order to obtain a higher benefit from the negotiations, he must suppress the ecstasy within himself.

"Ten thousand, sell us all the copyrights of your ** thing elf!"

This time it was He Chen's turn to be stunned, 10,000 yuan?

The purchasing power of currency in this world is the same as in the previous life, so 10,000 yuan is the 10,000 yuan that He Chen understands, and just by buying an Apple computer, there is no 10,000 left!

“…… This is a **thing elf, very long! You can draw for a long, long time!" He Chen emphasized.

Guo Yi didn't seem to know what He Chen meant by painting for a long time...... After all, the villain books in this world are all independent stories, and a story can be completed in two or three pages, and He Chen's ten words and more than 200 pages have far exceeded his imagination.

"After all, you are a villain book, 10,000 yuan - for the sake of what you have said, it is already the highest price in the villain book industry, and it is impossible for anyone to sell it higher than this. Guo Yi's voice cooled down, he thought that He Chen's hairy young man didn't know the market and had too much appetite, so he was quite dissatisfied and explained.

The villain books that he handled from his hands were usually hundreds of hundreds, at most one or two thousand, and he could give 10,000 to see that the elves were really good-looking.

As for making money...... He didn't think that the children who had no income and had to rely on their parents could buy as many of these books as they could. So he is optimistic about the story, but not optimistic about the value of the elf itself.

"10,000 yuan, all the copyrights owned by the ** thing elves?"

"Yes!"

"I ......" He Chen almost scolded again.

For 10,000 yuan, I want to buy all the copyrights of the ** thing elf worth billions of dollars, dream about it!

"I won't sell copyrights! And I want a 15% commission on publishing income!"

The 15% commission should be considered a high commission in the publishing industry, but He Chen believes in the strength of the ** thing elf, and he definitely has the qualifications to take this kind of commission. And the copyright of ** thing elf, no matter how much money is given, He Chen will not let go, this represents not only a **thing elf, but an enduring series!

“…… You're crazy!" Guo Yi also screamed, he had seen countless newcomers and lions open their mouths, but this whale opened their mouths for the first time.

15% commission, what does this mean?

It's just a villain book, and it's drawn by a nameless and childish newcomer, and the copyright is not sold. If he gives, I'm afraid he'll be fired tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, not only can't we give this, but no publishing house in the world will give it!" Guo Yi refused.

"Is this nothing to talk about?" He Chen's heart gradually cooled, he knew the terrifying commercial value of the ** thing elf, and he also made great concessions, but the other party was still stuck in his thinking, and He Chen had already decided to give up here...... How far can a publishing house without vision go in the future?

"20,000! 20,000 at most!Buyout!" Guo Yi gritted his teeth, just 20,000 yuan, he still had to apply, and it was also the highest value he felt the publishing house could give.

"Well, I see!" He Chen got up directly, without hesitation.

That's not to talk about?

Guo Yi's heart suddenly emptied, and he felt as if he had really missed something. Then he shook his head, no matter how good it looks, it is still a villain book, a child's thing, what is the value?

"Welcome to the next submission!" Guo Yi sent He Chen away, and finally said politely.

"No, a publishing house without vision, I will never come again!"

He Chen didn't look back, and strode away!
