After Su Zhendong calmed down, Xu Yang said, "Brother Zhendong, do you know anyone from the publishing house in Kyoto?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang said that this was the main thing, Su Zhendong's heart cooled down most of the time, but he was still very curious, how could Xu Yang suddenly ask this? So, Su Zhendong asked with doubts: "Ah Yang, why did you suddenly ask this?"

Not noticing the change in Su Zhendong's mentality, Xu Yang said directly: "That's the case, I wrote "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" into a novel, and I wanted to find a publishing house to publish it, but there was no way, so I found you here and asked you about it." ”

So that's what happened!

Suddenly, Su Zhendong thought of someone and said to Xu Yang: "Maybe it's fate, Ah Yang, I happen to have a friend here who is from a publishing house, but the reputation of their publishing house is relatively small, like this, do you think it's okay?"

At the beginning, Xu Yang didn't have much hope for Su Zhendong's side, but he didn't think that Su Zhendong really knew the people from the publishing house.

It doesn't matter if you are famous, as long as you are sincere enough, Xu Yang said directly: "Yes, you can help me contact me." ”

"No problem, I'll help you get in touch, you wait for my call. ”

Since Xu Yang can directly call himself and say that he has published a book, it seems that he must be in trouble, Su Zhendong knew before that Xu Yang quietly gave his script to a director, and also played the leading role in the play, his relationship with the director must be not shallow, the director's connections must be very wide, and the screenwriters, investors, directors, newspapers, reporters, and publishing houses he knows must be much wider than his own connections.

And there is such a relationship, Xu Yang also called him Su Zhendong, it seems that either the relationship is not hard, or the two sides have not negotiated.

No matter what, if you can help Xu Yang, you can help yourself, after all, with Xu Yang's existence, his status and income when he listens to music are something he has never thought of before.

After making the call, Xu Yang left the coffee shop.

In the evening, Xu Yang received a call from Su Zhendong, saying that he had come to Haishi and asked him to come over to meet.

This call surprised Xu Yang very much, didn't he ask him to help him find his friend from the publishing house? Why did Su Zhendong run to the sea market by himself? Still in such a hurry.

Patiently curious, Xu Yang came to the address sent by Su Zhendong.

This is a restaurant with a decent environment, and Su Zhendong booked a seat for a four-person table by the window.

When he came to the dining table, Xu Yang saw that there were two other people beside Su Zhendong, one was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Su Zhendong, and the other was a little girl who looked similar to him, like a little girl who had just graduated.

After everyone sat down, Su Zhendong introduced: "Ah Yang, this is my friend Lu Hui, who is currently working in a publishing house in Kyoto, and the other is Lu Hui's niece Zhan Xiaoqing. ”

Hearing Su Zhendong's introduction, Xu Yang stood up and shook hands with them one by one: "Fortunately!"

After everyone got to know each other, Lu Hui said straight to the point: "Mr. Xu, I heard that your book "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is going to be published?"

Xu Yang didn't expect this Lu Hui's temperament to be so straight, so he paused and said, "You and Brother Zhendong are friends, let's call me Ayang, Mr. Xu always sounds a little awkward." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone smiled.

After laughing, Xu Yang said, "Yes, I want to publish this book. ”

Lu Hui said: "Don't hide it from Ayang, I said that my publishing house was actually a joint venture between myself and my family, and it has been almost five years, but because of the relatively small fame, the authors who can sign contracts are some new authors, not to mention their fame, and the sales of their works are also very poor, resulting in the fact that in the past two years, the deficit of our publishing house is very large, if it is not for our family's solid background, perhaps, the closure of the publishing house is inevitable." ”

After a pause, Lu Hui continued: "If you don't think that our publishing house is famous, we can cooperate. ”

Xu Yang doesn't care about Lu Hui's publishing house, as long as he can publish his own book, as for the author's fame and the quality of the novel, Xu Yang is very confident.

However, cooperation must depend on the sincerity of the other party!

Xu Yang asked, "Brother Nalu, if we cooperate, what kind of cooperation method do you give me?"

Hearing Xu Yang ask this, Lu Hui thought for a while and said: "Our publishing house's finances are very tight, buy out, I don't want to, it's okay to share, if you cooperate with our publishing house, we give 35% of sales." ”

“35%？”

How would it be so high!Xu Yang was stunned.

"Yes!"

Lu Hui nodded again.

Xu Yang is not too clear about the operation of the publishing house, but if a book wants to be published, even those well-known writers, the share of the copyright fee that can be obtained is only 28%, no matter how high it is, it is not more than 30%, I didn't expect Lu Hui to be so courageous!

As soon as this sharing ratio came out, Lu Hui's niece Zhan Xiaoqing suddenly looked at her uncle in shock, others didn't know the specific process of the publishing house, but she was clear.

If a book is to be published, factory production and processing is only one aspect, and the most important thing is publicity, packaging, and coordination with various bookstores, each of which requires a lot of money to pave the way, so if a book is published, less than 50,000 copies are sold, and the publishing house loses money.

If more than 100,000 copies are sold, the publisher can make money, and in addition to all the expenses, the publisher can only get between 35% and 40% of the total sales, and in addition to the share to the original author, the publisher can get about 10% of the income.

If the publishing house wants to get about 20% of the revenue, then the sales volume must be at least 300,000 or more.

To reach 30% of revenue, it would need to sell more than 500,000 copies.

Today, Lu Hui and Xu Yang negotiated a 35% share, which means that if the publisher wants to get 20% of the sales, it needs to sell at least more than 300,000 copies, and to reach 30%, it may have to sell more than 500,000 copies.

Lu Hui's publishing house is called Zhicheng Publishing House, and the reputation of the publishing house is the first place, and in the past five years, the sales of one of Zhicheng Publishing House's best books have been 230,000 copies.

Why did Lu Hui give Xu Yang such a high share, one is that Lu Hui himself has watched the TV series "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", and has also learned some of the dynamics on the Internet, and understands the effect of publishing this book, and second, Xu Yang is not only a writer, he is also an editor, singer and actor.

"Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is so popular, how can Xu Yang, as the protagonist, not be popular?

For Xu Yang, Lu Hui has gone through some investigation, he knows that Xu Yang has not signed a brokerage company at the moment, but he has a good relationship with Director Shi Fei, and moreover, through Su Zhendong's mouth, he also knows the potential of Xu Yang as a singer.

Such a powerful and star-like author, if he doesn't win it immediately, then what are you waiting for?

The fame of a book depends not only on quality, but also on publicity and the author's fame.

Maybe, Shi Fei, Su Zhendong, and even Xu Yang himself didn't find out about this at the moment, but Lu Hui, who often travels around and eats very well in social communication, sees it very clearly!

If you want to make your publishing house famous and make money, now, signing Xu Yang is a success!

It's just a little more share, Lu Hui won't care, and Xu Yang is the one he cares about, if he doesn't sign it now, when he becomes more famous, the price will be too great!
