181 Rules!
Family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Six or seven o'clock in the afternoon.
Mom started cooking.
Chenyang nested in the study and wrote novels without distractions.
This guy slept all day today, and was dragged out of the bed by his mother at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Two thousand.
Three thousand.
Five thousand.
Eight thousand.
It didn't take long for the document to be crawled with a full 10,000 words of deposit.
Stretching his waist, Chenyang looked at the number of words on the document, "Hey, it seems that my buddy's hand speed has increased, 10,000 words in three hours, if it goes on like this, it will be completed in two weeks!"
Thinking of the book, Chenyang's heart was relieved.
Mom pushed the door in, "Stop writing, let's eat." ”
There are already 10,000 words of manuscript saved, and today's task has been completed, Chenyang is not in a hurry as usual, as soon as he pushed the keyboard and stood up, he was about to follow to eat, when he heard the mobile phone ring.
Turning around to pick up the phone, Chenyang said to his mother, "You eat first, I'll answer the phone first," After speaking, he picked up the phone, "Hey, hello." ”
"Hello, is Mr. Chenyang here?" The other party is a girl and speaks very politely.
Chenyang said, "I am." ”
"Hello Mr. Chenyang, we are G City Education Publishing House, do you have any intention of publishing the novel "The Years of Burning Passion"?"
Chenyang frowned.
G City Education Press?
This name sounds familiar!
Sneering, Chenyang pretended not to understand anything and asked, "If it is published, what price do you give here?"
The other party thought for a while, "If it's just a simplified copyright, we can give you about 1.5 million, and of course, if you buy out all the copyrights, we can give you 3.5 million." ”
Chenyang nodded, "It's fair, but I'm not going to publish it right now." ”
The other girl's sister was anxious, "Teacher Chenyang, you can think about it, if there is a problem with the publication fee, we can discuss it again, as long as you can accept the price, this is all trivial." ”
Chenyang sneered, "What's the point? No, I remember that your publishing house once told me, don't be too greedy, otherwise you won't be able to eat in this industry, and it's better not to insult your publishing house's signboard if you're a minor character like me." ”
Syllable.
Chenyang hung up the phone.
I really thought he didn't have a memory!
When he left Xiangyang Newspaper, he was not less soured by this publishing house.
"The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl" are all copyrighted, and he wants 500,000 yuan, which is too much, and he also said that the sales are not good after being serialized on the Internet, and I advise him not to be too greedy, otherwise he will not be able to get along.
What's wrong?
Are you willing to pay more than three million at this time?
I'm sorry!
It's late!
Don't say that buddies are not short of money now, but they are short of money, and your publishing house doesn't want to get involved in buddies' novels!
Throwing the phone aside, Chenyang walked out of the room, and Mom and Dad had already started eating.
Seeing him come out, his mother asked, "Whose phone is it?"
Chenyang sat next to the old girl, "The publisher said that it was going to publish "The Years of Burning Passion". ”
Chenxi patted Chenyang very gentlemanly, "Okay, brother, it's going to be published so soon? I thought you would have to scold again to get published." ”
Chenyang said speechlessly, "Hey, do you think that your brother and I have to scold everything to solve it? You haven't seen the number of hits on the Internet, there is only one in the sky and on the ground, do you know why your brother refuses? It's because they are not sincere enough, and they only call when they have a meal, don't you take your buddies seriously." ”
"The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl" were depressed at the beginning, Chenyang didn't tell his family, of course, he didn't plan to let his parents worry about this in the future.
While blowing, I flipped the film of this thing.
My mother couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, okay, I can't stop you when I eat, so let me ask you, this is not sincere enough, what about other publishing houses? You also answered the phone calls from four or five publishing houses this afternoon." ”
Chenyang took a bite of rice, "Hey, those few can't do it, I can't sign a contract with them, maybe I will be beaten in vain." ”
My mother said angrily, "I won't talk about other publishing houses, but what about Nova Publishing House?
Chenyang naturally understood what his mother meant.
The boss of Nova Press is the husband of my mother's best friend in college.
I didn't talk about it this afternoon, and my mother was angry with herself about it.
With a wry smile, Chenyang said, "Mom, don't say it, as far as my Aunt Liu's husband's publishing company is concerned, it is already for your sake that I can chat with him." ”
After taking a bite of food, Chenyang continued, "You ask other publishing houses, how much does this book sell now? The simplified Chinese copyright is 1.5 million, they are good, the simplified Chinese publishing, traditional publishing, impact copyright, and film and television copyright add up to only 2 million, are they talking about a deal? This is not bullying two fools." ”
Mom's eyes rolled, "Two million is still less?"
Chenyang was happy, "Hey, I said Mom, are you short of that little money or how can you drop it? Two million four copyrights, one copyright is not even one million, you let me sell it? Do you really think your son is easy to write novels!"
My mother smiled, "It's not very easy, every day I see where you are crackling and typing the keyboard, and you don't go out of the door, what good things can you write, your Aunt Liu was good to me in college, and the money was given a little less, what's wrong with you helping him?"
Chenyang put down the dishes and chopsticks and stopped eating, "Mom, I don't like to hear what you say, you can help people, you can say it, I can give it away for nothing, but since they are here to talk to me, then it is businesslike, and if you can't talk about it, what does it mean to talk about it with you?"
"Brother. ”
"You let go," Chenyang shook off the old girl's hand and continued, "Mom, we have to make it clear today, it's not easy for your son and me to write books, yes, you don't move when you look at it, but every day this brain is also spinning, you can't see your son when I can't sleep." ”
"That's right, it's very easy for the outside world to see me, I type every day, and I can make money without even having to go to work, but that's people outside, they don't understand, I don't blame them, you are my mother, do you see it this way?"
The more he said it, the more Chenyang felt a fire in his heart.
From beginning to end, my mother actually really understood his current work, only knowing that he was a guest writer for the capital newspaper, and it was a profession that was very face-saving.
But the hard work of this profession, the things that this profession entails, she has never understood.
In the past, he didn't expect his mother to understand this, it was enough for the old man not to interfere, but now, he really felt that it was time to talk to his mother.
After all, he will come up with more and more works in the future, and his popularity will become higher and higher, and when the time comes, there will be more and more people looking for his parents to go through the back door.
If every work needs to open a back door for others, and then sell it at the lowest price, then he really doesn't want to mix in this circle!
This rule.
We must stand up today!
