Chapter 114 Royalty Sharing (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

"Hey, hello!" Yang Ming saw a strange call from Guangdong on his mobile phone, and his heart moved, it was estimated that it was from the publishing house!

"I'm here at the Dabai Publishing House in Guangdong, and my surname is Hao!" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao introduced himself, and then asked in a questioning tone: "Are you the author of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" famous?"

As soon as Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao heard Yang Ming's voice through his mobile phone, he knew that the other party was not very old, and it was likely to be a very young teenager, which did not fit the image in his mind at all.

"Hello, Mr. Hao, yes, I am the author of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and Yang Ming is my pen name!" replied Yang Ming lightly.

"Famous author, that's the case, I have read your conditions and requirements, is there room for negotiation?" Since it was determined that the other party was the author of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao said his intentions straight to the point.

"Mr. Hao, I only accept royalty sharing, and we can negotiate the specific sharing ratio, and use your publishing house's book channel to sell a record album, which is a prerequisite!" Yang Ming's words did not carry the slightest emotion, and said very calmly.

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao of Dabai Publishing House felt his head big when he heard Yang Ming's firm tone, he was really the first time to contact a new author who could be so confident in himself, and could put forward conditions that were similar to those of well-known writers!

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but say sharply: "Famous author, why do you ask the publishing house to give you such a high-standard treatment, you must know that you are neither a well-known person, nor a well-known writer with more than one million sales!"

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, he realized that as a newcomer, he put forward this condition, which is indeed a bit arrogant in the eyes of the publishing house, in fact, Yang Ming has never thought of using the method of buying out a thousand words, and the purchase of a thousand words is only a few hundred thousand yuan, with his current net worth, he didn't pay attention to it at all!

However, the other publishing house doesn't know the true situation of Yang Ming!

Yang Ming thought for a moment and explained to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao: "Mr. Hao, in fact, my identity is a bit special, and the remuneration of the thousand-word buyout method is dispensable for me, and besides, using your book sales channels to help me sell albums and records is indeed my precondition and cannot be changed!"

"As for why I don't know why I put forward this condition!" Yang Ming said self-deprecatingly, and then continued: "That's because of my real identity, which can help increase the sales of this novel, and I believe that this novel will sell 1 million copies this year, and in addition, I can write at least five martial arts novels of the same quality!"

"Five?" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao was drinking tea on the other end of the phone, listening to Yang Ming's words, and suddenly heard that Yang Ming could write at least five martial arts novels of the same quality, and he was almost scared to squirt out the tea!

"Not bad!" Yang Ming said with great certainty!

The five martial arts novels are not difficult for Yang Ming at all, and a series of classics such as Mr. Jin's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon" have not yet been written! "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is just what he used to test the waters, and the current effect is okay, and he can currently earn more than 100,000 yuan a month for the electronic copyright on the Internet!

The most important thing is that Yang Ming knows very well how classic Mr. Jin's 13 martial arts novels were in his previous life, and there is a more real data that Jin Yong's complete set of novels has sold a total of 40 million copies in the mainland where piracy is rampant!

Note that this is a set, not a book, and it does not include Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas sales!

Another important point is that Mr. Jin has nearly 300 million readers and fans in China, what a terrifying number, the population of China in this world is about the same as in the previous life, according to the maintenance of genuine copyright in this world, as long as one-third of the fans buy the genuine version, then the sales of Mr. Jin's complete set of novels in this world will be an astronomical number!

Therefore, Yang Ming doesn't want to sell Mr. Jin's classic novel at a low buyout price in this world!

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao held his mobile phone and didn't know what to say, he wanted to refute Yang Ming's statement, but he thought of the classic of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he couldn't say it, suddenly, he remembered that Yang Ming said that his style would also help the sales of the novel, and immediately asked: "May I ask what is your identity in reality?"

"I'm a rookie singer, my name is Yang Ming!" Yang Ming said lightly.

As the saying goes, literature and art are not separated, and the deputy editor-in-chief of Hao, who is mixed with the literary and artistic world, has certainly heard of Yang Ming's genius name, and today the Internet is overwhelming with Yang Ming's press conference news, and the six superstars are jointly supporting the scene, and it is difficult to think about it!

"Are you the Yang Ming who held his first album release today?"

"I'm that Yang Ming!"

Yang Ming, the deputy editor-in-chief, like the editor-in-chief of Ersuo, muttered a few times, and immediately understood the meaning of Yang Ming's pen name, and he immediately understood what Yang Ming said about his identity to help the sales of novels, and he also understood more that Yang Mingwei must be able to sell records as a prerequisite!

Zhilu said that the author of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is Yang Ming, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with the influence of Yang Ming's real identity, he suddenly felt that the cooperation finally showed a glimmer of light, and there was a certain possibility!

"In that case, then I'll report back to the company and get back to you as soon as possible, and I want to ask, how much do you want in royalties?"

"Sales of more than 1 million copies this year, royalty commission of 15%, if not, 7%, this is my bottom line!"

It's another contract with the nature of a gambling contract, Yang Ming got it twice, and it seems that he also likes this kind of contract!

"15%?7%?" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao was frightened by Yang Ming's royalty sharing ratio again, the royalty share of a new author is 7% at best, and the 15% royalty share belongs to the top writer's share, fortunately, it is a gambling cooperation condition, otherwise Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao will definitely directly reject Yang Ming's requirements and conditions!

"Hmm!" Yang Ming responded to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao's question on the phone!

"I'll show this plan to the president now, if the president agrees, then there will be no problem!" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao said leisurely.

When Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hao was about to hang up the phone, Yang Ming said unhurriedly: "Mr. Hao, please confirm the answer for me as soon as possible, Jiulian Publishing House is also contacting me!"
