Fourth, for the free press!
After learning guitar for a few days, the school called to fill in the volunteers, Bao Gang said to repeat, Bao Xiaoming felt embarrassed and didn't go to school.
The recommendation on the homepage of Peach did not pass, and I secretly asked the editor-in-chief in private, and the novel is not good for using the first person, and Xiaobai.
After Bao Xiaoming sent Lian Yu away, he checked the results of the novel, 860 for 5 days, 530 for online sales, and 180 for downloads.
In the past few days, the revision of "Triple Gate" has been made without sleep and food, and some things that are not in China have been changed to have, such as Lao She, as for Dream of Red Mansions, Water Margin and other Chinese people also have.
mentioned synchronization 2005 in time, and inserted some of his usual things into it, such as mathematical idiots, Baotou Steel's unwavering determination to transform him, and so on.
Although Bao Xiaoming has never been in love, he still has a crush, and he has some talents and habits to enter the school privately. After half a month of revision.
I think I'm perfect, there are too many mappings in his father, and I don't even dare to give it to Baotou Steel for reference after completion, this is a book that is very close to my heart, and I have repeatedly revised the name of the school for more than 10 days and even changed it to my own school.
Throughout the morning, "Triple Gate" was processed with 250,000 words, a thick stack of more than 180 sheets, Bao Xiaoming spent more than 1,000 of his savings to mail 10 manuscripts, the time is not up to people, in the blink of an eye in July and a half, if you can't come out, you have to repeat it.
He took this book as his way out, full of expectations, and the manuscript fee for 10 days of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in June dropped by more than 10,000 points.
The book is already very popular at Singularity, and to this day there have been 15,000 trial reads, 8,000 online sales, and 5,000 downloads.
Bao Xiaoming looked at these numbers and didn't think it was remarkable, there were many books with 1 million sales at Singularity, he didn't expect that 1 million was accumulated in 2-3 years,
His 15,000 is more than 20 days of data, as more and more people have seen it, the book friend promotion will not exceed the future, 2005 Chinese Internet Internet Internet users 100 million,
Singularity has 8 million registered members.
Momoko found that the sales of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" were getting better and better, and in more than 20 days, it had exceeded the total sales of the other 50 books in her hand during this period, and she mustered up the courage to run to the editor-in-chief's office again.
"Please come in. ”
"Editor-in-chief, if you look at the sale of this book, can you recommend it to the homepage for a week. Momoko handed over a few printouts.
Editor-in-chief Lai took a look, "Well, the sales are very hot." I'll take a look at it first, uh, why don't you go to the channel to apply. ”
"Editor-in-chief, I applied and stepped back. ”
"What a reason, you know. ”
"The editor-in-chief told me that the book was written in the first person and that it was written too white. Xiaobaiwen. ”
"Well,I've got an impression.,I read 2 chapters using the first person, I'm not used to seeing it.,I didn't expect it.,Okay, let's arrange the homepage city analogy for a week.,Good grades to extend.。 ”
"Thank you, editor-in-chief, you're busy, then I'll go back to work"
"Hmm"
Xiao Gao is the new editor of Hanzhong Chang'an Publishing House, and yesterday he received a 250,000-word submission from Bao Xiaoming's "Triple Door", read it until more than 4 o'clock in the morning, and ran to the editor-in-chief's office as soon as he went to work in the morning with the manuscript.
"Editor Xu, Edit Xu, take a look at this manuscript,"
Lao Xu is the veteran editor-in-chief of Chang'an Publishing House, and when he saw Xiao Gao in a hurry, his face was not very good. "Xiao Gao, what are you doing in a panic. ”
Xiao Gao calmed down for a while, and said again: "Editor Xu, Editor Xu, take a look, this manuscript will definitely be published by our publishing house." ”
"Oh, put it on the table. ”
"Okay, Xu Biao, please take a look. Xiao Gao reluctantly put down the manuscript and left the editor-in-chief's office.
Lao Xu put the manuscript in the car after work, and when he got home, his wife was still cooking, so he took out the manuscript and read it. There are about 200 manuscripts,
Picked up the first 10 or so to review it, read a few roughly, and ridiculed the teacher, father, messy, Xiao Gao likes to read these indecent books.
How can this book be published. Pick up the rest of the manuscript and pile it in the basket together, and if you don't pass the review when you go home, you still collect the cardboard together, and dispose of it as a waste product.
After a few days, Kodaka couldn't help but enter the editor-in-chief's office again.
"Editor Xu, have you finished reading my book?"
"The book?"
"It's the book called "Triple Gate" that sent 250,000 words together. ”
"Oh, Xiao Gao, I'm going to talk about you here, can any book be published, a bunch of sarcasm, be careful next time. ”
"Is the manuscript still there?" Xiao Gao didn't finish reading it at the time, and wanted to continue reading. He doesn't care much about whether he is rigorous or not, the book is very good-looking and attractive to himself.
"Manuscripts, when the scrap is thrown away. ”
"Oh. Xiao Gao walked out dejectedly. Lao Xu looked at Xiao Gao, young man~.
Shanghi is the fastest growing city in China, and it is relatively strong in accepting the world's culture and technology, and Shanghi Culture Publishing House ranks among the top 3 in the country. Yesterday, Xiaomi recommended "Triple Gate", and after several editors discussed it, they felt that this book would be popular, and the editor-in-chief saw that everyone was sure of it, so he sent Xiaomi to contact the author to sign a contract.
Since Bao Xiaoming submitted "Triple Gate", he has been waiting for the publisher's phone call and mixing some forums every day to promote his novels.
"In those years, the girl we chased together" on the homepage recommended 2-3 days on the almost 30,000 trials, for people who are not good at math, they see some numbers rising every day, and they can't count how much they earn, so they don't bother to count.
I don't know if the home page means that your book is already on fire.,The front page 7-day trial is 100,000+,The book is good-looking, the subscription is high,According to the singularity's inference of the book, the minimum trial reading at the end of the month is 200,000,000,There are more than 100,000 fixed readings.,I'm going to give him a monthly push.。
If Bao Xiaoming is better at math, he will figure out how much the manuscript fee will be in July, and he will no longer be in a hurry to publish "Triple Gate". It's a pity to be a math idiot. Characters with 1x5=5, 2x5=10, 3x5=18, 4x5=28.
After Shanghi Publishing House contacted Bao Xiaoming by phone in a hurry, he came over the same day with the publishing contract.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I met the café booth Bao Xiaoming looked at the two people opposite.
"Mr. Bao Xiaoming, Sanchongmen, is it your own work?"
"Of course, otherwise you will find the second Bao Xiaoming to come out. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, but is your Huaxia copyright still there?"
"Yes, I sent 10 publishers, and a few of them called. "In fact, I sent 10 of them, and I am currently calling Hi Publishing House to make an appointment, and there is no news about the others, Bao Xiaoming's poor math does not mean that his IQ is poor.
"You see, our publishing house contract. Xiaomi saw the manager's eyes and quickly took out the contract.
"I won't read the contract, but first tell me how much you plan to give me and how much you want to print at one time. ”
"8%, 200,000 at a time"
"8% is too little, I get 50% of the books published on the website, and there are 2 million people who publish them. ”
"The website does not need to print the books, the printing cost of physical publishing is 10%, the channel is 10%, the wholesaler is 10%, the bookstore is 20%, and our publisher has the remaining 50% to pay the author's royalty. ”
"Is it okay for me to have 25%?"
"The publication fee of the works of the writer Lao Gu in China is 25, and the highest edition fee for writers in our publishing house is 20, and we will give you a maximum of 10.The publication fee for new authors is generally 5 to 10 points. ”
12 If you don't agree, forget it, I'll wait for other publishers. There is also a minimum printing of 500,000"
"What should I do if I can't sell it if I print 500,000 yuan, we can print 200,000 yuan first. ”
"200,000 is 200,000, and 12% of the manuscript fee cannot be less. ”
Manager Liu smiled bitterly, this person said that he understood that he didn't understand, that he didn't understand that he was blind, and that the average newcomer was 8 points, and if it was 12, it would be 12. Manager Liu filled in the manuscript fee share on the contract and handed it to Bao Xiaoming.
Bao Xiaoming had already seen the sample of the publishing contract on the Internet, and after reading it carefully, he signed his name almost after reading it.
