looked at Deng Zheng in a daze, and stayed for a minute, and the middle-aged man in the suit suddenly reacted.

Glancing at the "Topic Selection and Planning Department", he took a step forward and asked quickly: "Brother, is the copyright of this book still in your hands?"

Deng Zheng frowned and said impatiently: "Nonsense." Otherwise, why would I sit here and wait!"

The middle-aged man in the suit didn't care about his attitude at all, and when he heard this, his face suddenly floated with irrepressible excitement, and he grabbed his arm and pulled downstairs: "Brother, follow me." Let's talk about copyright in detail. ”

Although Deng Zheng didn't have a good impression of him, he could see that this person really liked "Ping's Tracer Movie", and he was ready to leave, so he went out with him.

"Mr. Gu, the Biluo spring you want is ready......

Greeting, the previous receptionist came over with a cup of tea with a smile on his face, and when he spoke, even his body was a standard bow.

"Keep it for yourself. ”

The middle-aged man in the suit waved his hand, answered casually, pulled Deng Zheng's arm with a smile, his attention was all on Deng Zheng, and he never glanced at the front desk at all from beginning to end.

"Mr. Gu, this ......"

Looking at the backs of the two of them going downstairs together, the smile of the receptionist at the front desk suddenly froze, and somehow, suddenly I felt that the teacup in my hand was a little hot......

The two went downstairs, and the middle-aged man in the suit led Deng Zheng to a black sedan very enthusiastically, opened the car door himself, handed over a business card, and said with a smile: "Brother Jinliang, introduce yourself, I am the boss of "Capital News", and my name is Gu Weiyuan. This is my business card. Regarding the copyright of your "Ping Tracer Film", this newspaper has a very strong intention to purchase cooperation. Come, let's talk in the car. ”

Deng Zheng just heard the receptionist call him "Mr. Gu", so he paid attention, took the business card, swept his eyes, nodded and got into the car.

Gu Weiyuan saw that he agreed to get into the car, his face was happy, he trotted around to the opposite side, opened the door on the other side, and sat in.

"Mr. Gu, to say something presumptuous, you have never heard of the Capital News. Deng Zheng said directly.

"Hehe, a small regional newspaper, it's normal that the Jin Liang brothers haven't heard of it for the time being. Let me first briefly introduce that our "Capital News", like "Autumn Rain Literature and Art Publishing House", is a subsidiary of the Northern Media Group. The difference is that 'Qiuyu Literature and Art Publishing House' has just been wholly acquired, and now the relevant procedures and business handover are still being smoothed, and it may take some time to make a smooth transition, while "Capital New Newspaper" was established by the group itself, to use a bad analogy, it is the group's own son. Therefore, although the journal has not been established for a long time, and the current circulation is just over 50,000, it still has strength and prospects. ”

"Is it a weekly or a daily publication?"

"It is distributed within the capital, three times a week, every Monday, three or five days. ”

After listening to Gu Weiyuan's introduction, Deng Zheng fell into a short silence.

The current situation is a little different from what he expected, and to be honest, the circulation of this newspaper is a little too small.

The circulation of a single issue of 50,000 is only third-rate in this world, not to mention that compared with some giant national newspapers and periodicals, even if it is left in the more than 20 regional newspapers and periodicals in the capital.

Choosing such a small newspaper to cooperate with is not conducive to quickly enhancing the influence of "Pingxia Film", and with such a small circulation, how much money can be paid to buy the copyright?

Although Deng Zheng is extremely short of money now, he still drew a price bottom line in his heart, and then broke the silence and said: "Mr. Gu, what price is your newspaper ready to come up with?"

Gu Weiyuan didn't answer and asked, "Brother Jin Liang, how long do you plan to write this book?"

Deng Zheng searched in his mind and replied: "If you don't count the wedges, the text is a total of thirty-one times." More than 400,000 words, less than 500,000 words. ”

Gu Weiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "After tax, two hundred." ”

Two hundred words after tax?

Deng Zheng was a little surprised by this price.

He has some knowledge of newspaper remuneration. A newcomer like himself, no matter how well he writes, it is impossible to exceed 15 words before tax for the first time, which is basically a convention in the industry.

So the bottom line he just set for himself was 15 thousand words before tax, and he never expected this Mr. Gu to be so arrogant and directly open 200 words after tax.

It's almost twice as much.

"Is it just the exclusive right to publish?" Deng Zheng said with some uncertainty.

"Exclusive rights of publication. However, no more than half of the book is published, and it is not allowed to be published in simplified or traditional Chinese, or it is not allowed to be serialized on the Internet. Gu Weiyuan nodded.

What he said was a normal and reasonable requirement for newspaper serialization, Deng Zheng finally fully convinced the other party's sincerity, smiled, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Gu, I'm curious, are you so optimistic about the prospects of my "Pingxia Film"?"

Gu Weiyuan felt that Deng Zheng had the intention of agreeing, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded again and again: "It's not just optimistic, it's just amazing." To put it mildly, I myself am also a senior die-hard of 'chivalrous novels', and I dare not say that I have read all the books in the world, at least I have been on the best-selling list, even if it is only for a day or two, I have bought and read them. I used to boast that I was half an expert, but just now I flipped through your book "Ping's Tracer Film" by Brother Jin Liang, and I realized that I was simply a frog at the bottom of a well! Although I have only seen the wedge and the first time in your book, I dare to guarantee that all the 'chivalrous novels' on the market now combined are not as good as a wedge in this book, because it is not a level of ...... at all."

Deng Zheng suddenly raised his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, interrupt, my book is not a chivalrous novel, my book is a martial arts novel!"

"Wu ...... Man...... Martial arts, martial arts!"

Gu Weiyuan muttered, the more he read it, the higher his voice became, the brighter his eyes became, and he only felt that listening to these two words made people's hearts shake, and he couldn't help himself with excitement, and it couldn't be more appropriate to define novels like "Ping's Tracer Film".

Then, suddenly thought of something, his whole body was shocked, his whole fat skin trembled, his eyes widened, his voice was hoarse, and he said excitedly: "Martial arts novels? Brother Jin Liang, you ...... You're going to set a precedent!"

Deng Zheng did not deny it, and smiled confidently: "So, Mr. Gu, it's rare for you to trust me as a newcomer so much, trust this book, I naturally have to find a way to ensure that every dime you spend is worth it." ”

Gu Weiyuan suddenly understood, Deng Zheng undoubtedly provided him with an incomparable perfect gimmick, the first martial arts novel in history, the first full-length martial arts novel, it sounded like a to the scum!

Speaking of which, Gu Weiyuan has been in charge of "Capital News" for almost a year, and he has used all kinds of tricks to increase the circulation of a single issue from 40,000 to 50,000, but it is far from the company's original plan of 80,000 copies.

When I was at a loss, I happened to see this book that showed the grandmaster's temperament every word and the grandeur of the structure, and the grandeur of the structure was simply amazing.

On a whim, I wanted to try to use the serialization effect of this novel to increase the circulation of a single issue.

In fact, he had similar thoughts before, and for this reason, he also contacted a few more optimistic chivalrous novelists, but he was helplessly limited by the current trend and couldn't write a long story. It is only a few tens of thousands of words to issue a single book, but it is a drop in the bucket for newspaper and periodical serialization, and it has already ended before the serialization effect is completely formed.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that "Pingxia Film" could write four or five hundred thousand words, and seeing that Deng Zheng said it in such detail and certainty, even the text was planned for a total of thirty-one times, and his confidence in his heart suddenly increased, and he directly quoted the psychological price.

And if it was half risky and half confident just now, at this time, with Deng Zheng taking the initiative to send this big gimmick, the confidence immediately increased to seventy.

In front of me, it seems that a golden strip has been rolled out......

After feeling excited for a while, I couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "It's a pity, Brother Jinliang, two hundred words in a thousand words is already the highest price that my brother can offer at present." I really can't add more. ”

If these words were said by other people, Deng Zheng would definitely think that it was a businessman's slippery, but when the chubby Mr. Gu in front of him said it, he felt very sincere.

He has now figured out that the size of the platform is important, but it is obviously more important to have a sincere partner who understands the work and loves the work.

Moreover, newspaper serialization is the forefront of the rise of new martial arts on the earth in the previous life.

Mr. Liang Yusheng published "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" in the "New Evening News", which shocked the world, and has since become the originator of new martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a generation of grandmasters!

Mr. Jin Yong first became famous in one fell swoop when he published "Book of Swords and Enmity" in the "New Evening News", and he became as famous as Mr. Liang Yusheng. Later, he created his own "Ming Pao", through guò "Blue Blood Sword", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and other serials, Shengsheng supported "Ming Pao" into a newspaper empire, and he also took this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the leader of martial arts novels!

Now by coincidence, I am destined to start from newspapers and magazines to develop and carry forward martial arts culture, I have to say, it is indeed the best way to pay tribute!

Both of them are crunchy, and after no other objections, they drove directly to the office address of the "Capital News".

It only took half an hour for the two sides to sign the contract.

In addition to the ones mentioned above, the number and frequency of deliveries are also regulated. But this is obviously not a problem for Deng Zheng.

After signing the contract, knowing that Deng Zheng was in urgent need of money, Gu Weiyuan also raised the prescribed advance payment of 10,000 yuan directly to 40,000.

According to 450,000 words, this book has almost 90,000 manuscript fees, and nearly half of the manuscript fee has been directly prepaid before it is published. I feel more and more that this partner has not chosen the wrong person.

After dealing with the relevant chores, he declined Gu Weiyuan's warm invitation to eat together, and Deng Zheng walked down the office building alone.

Looking back at the not-so-obvious signboard of the "Capital News", I suddenly felt an indescribable pleasing to the eye, and my heart was also full of confidence.

The sun was shining outside with a gentle breeze and it was very cool and pleasant.

Deng Zheng took a deep breath, Meimei stretched, took out her mobile phone, and dialed a call.
