Chapter 54: Buyout

At the end of the recording of the program, the host's face was a little unsightly, and the episode she prepared was supposed to criticize them, but the prepared routine was cracked by Chen Yu'an.

The two experts had a good impression of Chen Yu'an, except for the few words of driving, Chen Yu'an behaved very well, showing far beyond the literacy and logical ability of ordinary middle school students and even college students, and the professor of East China Normal also tried to recruit Chen Yu'an to apply for their school in the college entrance examination.

And the representative of the outstanding student, Mr. Huang, even expressed his support for Chen Yu'an, "I have read your article on the summer camp several times, and it is quite relieving!" It seems that she has been educated by others with this article in the past, "What is the QQ of the two of you? Let's add a friend!"

"No problem, I'll write it down for you!" Chen Yu'an knew that she immigrated to the United States in the future, and he didn't feel anything about individual immigration, everyone had their own ideas, that's all, but it was worth thinking about the good children in the eyes of many teachers who had chosen the same path, but Han Han, who was spurned by them, stayed, and I don't know what they would think when they watched this episode of the show more than ten or twenty years later.

After saying goodbye, he returned to the car and went to him according to the address Guo Jingming had just left, and on the way there, Han Han talked about publishing the book, "According to the current market practice in our country, new authors can generally get 6-10% of the royalties, and with your article and your current influence, you should be able to get 10%, don't promise them less than this number." ”

"Thank you, I thought about all this before I came, and I have also found someone to understand, so I will definitely not suffer. Chen Yu'an knew that Han Han was afraid that he would be fooled and sign an unfair contract.

"Also, with the momentum of the gang of people you are scolding today, ordinary people really can't resist it. Hearing him say this, Han Han also put his mind at ease, and combined with his own experience, he told him some inside stories of this industry, which benefited Chen Yuan a lot.

When I arrived at the place, I found the fourth master, he had already bought a thick stack of CDs, and the three of them got in the car and went to the next place, almost completing the albums that the fourth master wanted to listen to, Chen Yuan also bought some, and by the way, he bought a CD player, his hometown was boring, and multiple channels for recreation were also good.

Then Han Han found a place to eat together, and naturally chatted about music at the dinner table, and I don't know whether it is the different types of music they like or other reasons, Han Han and the fourth master are always a little bit at odds, and Chen Yu'an sighed again and again, it seems that the two of them are really a pair of natural enemies!

After eating, Han Han sent the two back to the hotel, the fourth master will go to the airport early tomorrow morning, and Chen Yuan will also go to meet the reporter and the representative of the publishing house, so after chatting for a while, the two of them went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, on the bus that sent the fourth master to the airport, Chen Yu'an and Fu Xing met with those reporters and chatted about the previous turmoil.

Seeing him talking eloquently and swaying freely, Fu Xing also put his mind at ease, originally he was worried that it was a little inappropriate to negotiate with the publishing house without a guardian, but now it seems that ordinary adults are not as thoughtful as Chen Yu'an, it should not be Chen Yu'an who should be worried, it seems that it should be the representatives of those publishing houses, they will be afraid that they will not be pleased.

After lunch at noon, two groups of people borrowed the conference room of the hotel to start negotiations, one group was the representative of the publishing house, and the other group was Chen Yu'an, Zhang Tianchang, and Fu Xing, the two of them temporarily stood on Chen Yu'an's side, of course, if Chen Yu'an put forward too excessive opinions, they would definitely turn their heads and persuade Chen Yu'an.

"In our industry, for new authors, we generally give 6-10% royalties, and our publishing house can give eight points, and if the sales are good in the later stage, this number can be increased. As soon as he came up, the other party still wanted to leave some room for bargaining, and did not quote his reserve price.

Han Han told me yesterday that if I cooperated with other publishing houses, he could get me ten points. Chen Yu'an pulled Han Han out.

At this time, the publishing house was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly added, "Eight points is our preliminary price, didn't you just say it, the results will increase if you are good, and it is not difficult to reach ten points." ”

"So, how much can the sales increase to ten points?" Chen Yu'an continued to ask with a smile.

Now that other publishing houses have contacted Chen Yu'an, the other party doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, "The sales volume has risen to 9 points for 200,000 copies, and the 400,000 copies have been 10 points, according to our previous market research, even if your book is not as good as Han Han's "Triple Gate", it is still no problem to sell 500,000 or 600,000 copies." ”

This number is already a bestseller in today's publishing industry, and if it weren't for this, the publisher would not have offered such a high price for Chen Yu'an.

"It's not that your essay is bad, it's that essays are inherently undersold compared to novels. Considering the young man's sensitive mind, the publisher added that he was afraid that he would become a winner.

"Essays don't sell as well as novels, but didn't Yu Jie's "Fire and Ice" sell well two years ago?" Chen Yu'an was noncommittal.

"That book was hyped up by the fame of 'Wang Xiaobo No. 2' and 'Li Ao No. 2', in fact, it ......" stopped halfway through the words, that book was certainly hype, but the controversy during this time also made Chen Yu'an's pen name spread all over the country, and it was not necessarily worse than Yu Jie at the beginning.

Especially after the TV show was broadcast last night, he and Han Han's fame can go up a notch.

"I just gave interviews to a few media outlets in the morning, and their articles will be published in about a month, and it would be better if they could get the book to market before it ends, and it is the end of the Chinese New Year, so students have spare money and don't have to worry about spending power. Chen Yu'an pointed out a little more.

The representative of the publishing house smiled, it seemed that they thought the same way, but they didn't expect Chen Yu'an to see it.

"If the conditions are right, I still prefer to cooperate with you, after all, it was "Sprout" that gave me the opportunity. After showing his ability, Chen Yu'an's tone softened.

"Then count it on a ten-point basis, and it's worth taking a little risk. "There's really no risk, as evidenced by the growth in sales of Sprout.

"What I just said is the cooperation method of royalty sharing, I want to ask how much you can give if you buy out?" Chen Yu'an asked.
