It's just that I didn't expect this book to be a direct eunuch.

You must know that this book has been strongly recommended by Sanjiang, and the data looks explosive, so I order a boutique for the first time, and many people may not be able to survive the boutique after finishing the book.

Brush?

Well, I can only say that the quality of the book is not good, no matter how much you brush it, it will be in vain, but every time someone does not believe in evil, well, it should be regarded as paying tuition.

The monk was very puzzled: "You said that he threw so much money into it, and put it on the shelves directly as a eunuch, what is the picture?"

Xiao Lu Tanhua: "I don't understand the world of rich people, and if I did, I wouldn't be on the street by now." ”

"Yes. ”

“……”

Then it triggered an epic showdown between the street and the great god, and the street will never be a slave!

Zhao Qian shook his head and crossed out the chat group.

For him, this is just a small episode, no matter what others do, it has nothing to do with him, just do your duty, making money is the most important, everything else is false!

Just as he was about to eat, Tarzan's avatar flashed and popped up.

Zhao Qian was curious, since opening the new book, this editor took the initiative to find him for the first time.

Tarzan: "Love letter, where?"

Zhao Qian hurriedly replied: "Yes, Taishan Ju, is there something wrong?"

Taishan: "That's right, there are two publishing houses that want to buy the traditional Chinese copyright of your new book "Diba", and the company wants to hear your opinion. ”

Zhao Qian was surprised, the traditional copyright of "Emperor Ba"? Isn't this just the book?

"Diba" was uploaded on the 18th, and it has only been two weeks since today, and this book has only passed 50,000 words, and some people want to buy the copyright, is it really fake?

Zhao Qian was skeptical: "You mean, there are two publishing houses that have taken a fancy to the traditional copyright of "Diba"?"

Taishan replied: "Yes, Xinchang Publishing House and Shuopin Publishing House. The prices offered by the two are about the same, Xinchang gives 380 thousand words, and says that the frequency gives 360 thousand words. ”

1,000 words 360, 380, this price is much higher than the previous "Urban Cultivation of Immortals", it is estimated that he has been in the limelight recently to give such a high price.

Zhao Qian was a little excited, he had heard that as soon as the great god opened the book, a company came up to talk about the copyright, and even sold the copyright before the book was opened, but he didn't expect that he would be able to have such treatment one day.

But he quickly calmed down, thought about it and said, "Forget about the buyout, the physical publication of this book, I don't plan to buy out." ”

Taishan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "You want royalties?"

"Yes!" Zhao Qian had a smile on his face: "Please help me ask, how much royalty rate are they willing to give me?"

Yes, this time he is not going to go the buyout route.

Buyouts and royalties are not the same.

The buyout is a pure manuscript fee, for example, the buyout of 380 thousand words, writing one million words, that is 380,000, except for the right of authorship, everything else has nothing to do with the author. How much money the publishing company makes, that's the publishing company's business.

Royalties are a bit more complicated, involving issues such as the author's royalty rate, the number of prints and the pricing of the work. For example, with a royalty rate of 10%, the first printing of 10,000 copies, the price is 12 yuan, and the author finally gets 12,000.

It doesn't seem like much, but think about it, the Internet often has millions of words, according to 60,000 words per volume, 10,000 copies per volume, and 50 copies are published, even if the royalty rate is 10%, it will be 600,000!

In the end, it depends on how many copies the publisher prints, and in short, the more it sells, the more the author earns. This is the difference between royalties and buyouts, and the author receives a fee for the book as long as it is still in publication.

Royalties are the share of physical publishing, but in other words, and the share is pitifully low. The average person is generally 8%, a better 12%, even if it is a god of online literature, it is at most 12%. More than 12% are the gods of the physical publishing industry, the kind that take the physical route.

It is rumored that the original royalty rate of the five supreme gods was above 15%, and Zhao Qian didn't know whether it was true or not, so he didn't ask anyway. Asking how much money others make, it is easy to be tabooed by others.

In addition to the author's 8%~12% royalty, the rest of the publishing house takes out a part, a part of the printing house, a part of the transportation cost, and finally the sales channel, that is, the physical bookstore and the online bookstore, take out a part.

If you are a newcomer, it is undoubtedly a cost-effective buyout, and the publishing house will bear the risk of publishing and sales, and you just need to take the money with peace of mind. However, Zhao Qian's fame has now been made, and the sales of the first two books are very good, so they will come like sharks that smell blood.

For example, the Xinchang Publishing House, when it was writing about the loser before, wanted to buy Zhao Qian's traditional Chinese copyright at a low price, but Zhao Qian refused. Later, he chose to cooperate with the channel publishing house, and the traditional copyright of the second "Urban Cultivation of Immortals" was also sold to the channel.

Since both publishers are interested in it now, let's get the one with the highest price!

Zhao Qian asked for royalties not to buy out, although it was a bit unexpected, but it was also reasonable.

Tarzan asked, "What is your psychological price?"

Zhao Qian didn't think twice: "12% royalty rate, if you agree, sign the contract!"

The 12% royalty rate can be said to be high in the online entity publishing industry, but it is far from the peak, not to mention the others, the royalties of several platinum gods who sell well in traditional Chinese publishing are above 12%, 15% are also available, and there are even 20% of the big bulls!

He thinks he's worth the price!

"Okay!" Taishan didn't talk nonsense, and turned his head to help convey Zhao Qian's opinion. As for whether we can negotiate in the end, it depends on the sincerity of the publishing house.

If you can successfully sell the traditional copyright of "Diba", it is undoubtedly good news.

Zhao Qian has high hopes for this book, unlike the previous two cities, this new book is more suitable and easier to adapt in terms of style and structure, whether it is comics, animation, games, film and television. Qihang has been vigorously promoting the IP of his platform's works in the past two years, as a platinum author, and his works are extremely best-selling, Zhao Qian really can't think of a reason why Qihang does not promote his works.

And he made up his mind to write this book for half a year, presumably the popularity will be even more terrifying than "Urban Cultivation of Immortals", and he may be able to use this book to truly enlighten the five supreme gods!

Lu Xun said that an author who doesn't want to be a supreme god is not a good writer!

For the sake of his ideals, Zhao Qian naturally hopes to sell more copyrights, but this kind of thing is not in a hurry, let's see how to arrange it over there.

"Huh?"

Open the client, and suddenly a recommendation pop-up pop-up pop-up window pops up——

"Congratulations to the domestic suspense master Cai Jun for bringing his new book "Artifact" to this site!"

Zhao Qian was surprised, suspense master Cai Jun?

Even if he doesn't pay attention to the suspense classification, he has heard of the author's name, but he doesn't know much about it.
