Chapter 52: The Top Songs Chart
The publishing house that Shi Fei found for Xu Yang was a well-established and reputable publishing house that he asked a friend to find, called Sunshine Publishing House.
Sunshine Publishing House came to cooperate with Xu Yangtan is a man in his thirties, with a pair of big eyes, and at first glance he is the kind of person who reads poetry and books.
Xiao Jie, an associate editor at Sunshine Publishing House, works at the publishing house to communicate with emerging authors and publishers.
Although the TV series "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" has been broadcast, and its influence is not bad, this is a different thing from physical book publishing, so Sunshine Publishing House did not send the senior management of their publishing house to discuss cooperation with Xu Yang, in this regard, Xu Yang didn't say much, he only cared about whether his book could be published, what to say about the copyright fee, and he didn't care much about the rest.
In a coffee shop, after Xu Yang and Xiao Jie sat down, Xiao Jie said: "Mr. Xu, you know my intention, is to discuss the cooperation between our publishing house and your book "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky". ”
Xu Yang just nodded.
Xiao Jie continued: "Mr. Xu, according to the current influence of the "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" TV series, our newspaper has two plans to recommend to you, one is to buy out, and the other is to share. ”
Xu Yang knew about these two cooperation models and asked: "What do you say about buying out? What about sharing?"
Glancing at Xu Yang, whose expression was very indifferent, Xiao Jie straightened out his wording and said: "What about the buyout, the price we give you here is 1 million, of course, it is only the copyright of the paper book, your film and television copyright, and other copyrights, or you still belong to yourself." In the case of a share, it is 15% of the sales proceeds. ”
"Huh?"
After listening to Xiao Jie's words, Xu Yang fell into deep thought, he didn't expect the price given by the publishing house to be so low.
After a long time, Xu Yang said: "Editor Xiao, is this price the final cooperation price?"
What's going on? Why did he suddenly ask this? Was he dissatisfied with the price offered by his publishing house?
However, Xiao Jie still said truthfully: "Yes, Mr. Xu, this is the final price given by our publishing house, what do you think of this cooperation? When will we sign the contract?"
How's the cooperation? Not good!
If Xu Yang is a newcomer or a person who is short of money, then the cooperation offered by Sunshine Publishing House is acceptable. But now, what about the TV series "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" is a big hit, and the corresponding number of fans will definitely not be less.
Besides, this drama is written in the school days, and adults may not spend money to buy their own books, but what about students who are in a rebellious period! They will definitely buy this book and read it.
The reason is that the drama "Eighteen-year-old Sky" is currently only broadcast on Haishi TV, or only at night, missing an episode is missing, whether it is other TV stations or on the Internet, there are no all TV series links, if you want to watch it again, you can only wait until Xu Yang sells the copyright of the second broadcast, and at this time, the original book appears, which will definitely cause a sensation, this is the answer Xu Yang came up with after thinking deeply.
It seems that there will be no way to talk about it today!
The cooperation given by Sunshine Publishing House is not very good, and the Xiao Jie in front of him is just an errand runner, Xu Yang did not give a bad face, eased up, and said: "Editor Xiao, in this way, I know the sincerity of your publishing house, I want to go back and think about it first, and I will contact you again when I have the result." ”
Talking about cooperation is not something that can be done overnight, this Xiao Jie understands, therefore, Xu Yang said this, he didn't think much about it, left his own contact information, and left.
After Xiao Jie left, Xu Yang took a sip of the coffee that had cooled on the table, and then took out his mobile phone and called Shi Fei, explaining the situation of the negotiation on his side, and at the same time thanking Shi Fei's friend who helped, saying that there was time for everyone to come out and sit, and he had a treat.
Shi Fei didn't know much about publishing books, he also knew that Xu Yang had his own considerations, chatted a few words, and hung up, he was still busy recently, while busy with the formalities and decoration of Xu Yang's studio, the location of the studio had been found a few days ago. On the other hand, he is still forming the crew of "Chef of the Flower Teapot"!
Among Xu Yang's friends, the most well-connected are Shi Fei, Zhang Wenchao, and Su Zhendong.
Zhang Wenchao and Shi Fei are both from Haishi, and the publishing houses they found may be very different, after thinking about it, Xu Yang still called Su Zhendong, and it was considered a bit of luck.
"Ah Yang, it's rare for you kid to take the initiative to call me? How about it? I don't have any money? I'll collect the debt for you!"
As soon as he picked up the phone, Su Zhendong chattered.
"Uh, business, business!"
Su Zhendong's words made Xu Yang's face full of embarrassment.
"Seriously, do you have a new song coming out, so you don't need to say, hurry up, fly to Kyoto now." ”
Xu Yang's words made Su Zhendong excited.
"Calm, calm!"
Holding the mobile phone in his left hand, Xu Yang rubbed his temples with his right hand, and his face was speechless.
"Oh, well, I'm calm, you say. ”
It's no wonder that Su Zhendong was so calm when he heard that Xu Yang had something serious to say to him, the key is that Xu Yang's songs are too popular now.
Since the broadcast of the TV series "Eighteen-year-old Sky", the songs "Red Stone", "Sunflower Season", "Naughty Child", and "Walking on the Road of Love" have now exceeded 800,000 people on demand, among which the song "Red Stone" is the most exaggerated, which has reached 910,000 people.
In addition, Xu Yang's previously released songs "Youth", "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", and "Rice Shop" have also exploded again.
Now, the song "Red Stone" is already at the top of the new song list, followed by "Sunflower Season" at No. 2 and "Naughty Child" at No. 10. Three of the top ten songs on the new song list are Xu Yang's songs, which is very exaggerated!
On the hit song list, Xu Yang's "Dream Chasing Heart" ranked second, "Red Stone" ranked fourth, "Rice Shop" ranked seventh, and "Sunflower Season" tenth.
You must know that the new song list is only a month's new song list, although it is powerful, but its influence is limited, and the hit song list, this is very good, the list here is all the Chinese songs faced, the list is changed once a year, and many songs of big names in the music industry have been dried by Xu Yang.
In the first year, it was on the top 10 hit song chart, and it will definitely be removed from the shelves in the second year. And the hit song list, there is another advantage, that is, it can be won at the annual Chinese Music Awards, that is to say, when it comes to this year's Chinese Music Awards, Xu Yang is hopeful to go to the scene.
If you want to win the award, Xu Yang is not qualified enough for the time being, and you must release a complete album to be nominated for the Chinese Music Award.
