It may have been newly built for a short time, and the number of people is not too large, and the atmosphere in the "Golden Beam Bar" is not very warm.

However, there was still a highlight post that replied to more than 100 discussions that caught his attention:

"Partners, come and guess Mr. Jin Liang's gender, age, and occupation! If anyone can guess all three, the labor and management will give him a free car wash for three years, and in addition, this post will be charged with 100 yuan per floor!

Deng Zheng clicked on the reply below, and he simply said everything:

Male, 50 years old, middle school history teacher.

Male, 45 years old, a civil servant wearing glasses (a cadre at or above the level of deputy * department * of visual inspection).

Male, 65 years old, gray-haired retired professor of history.

Male, 39 years old, professional writer (slightly obscene image, the kind that has hit the streets countless times before).

Female, 10 years old, our family Jin Liang is Lori!

……

Deng Zheng flipped through it with interest for a while, and found that except for a few who deliberately messed around, basically everyone thought that they would be a man over forty-five years old, and his profession was basically within the scope of civil servants, middle school teachers, university professors and professional writers.

Male, 20 years old, college student.

After sending this message, Deng Zheng quit the post bar. I felt a little hungry, and just as I was about to cook noodles, my phone rang. It's an unfamiliar number.

Press the answer button, and the voice of a middle-aged woman is opposite:

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Jin Liang, the author of "Pingxia Film"?"

Deng Zheng was puzzled for a moment, he knew that many publishing houses were looking for him recently. But at present, Gu Weiyuan is the only one who knows that he is Jin Liang and has his own phone number, and perhaps several high-level editors of "Capital News" can also know about it. Could it be that Gu Weiyuan introduced him? But why didn't he inform him in advance?

"I'm Jin Liang. ”

"Mr. Jin Liang, hello, let me introduce myself, I am from 'Autumn Rain Literature and Art Publishing House', and I am temporarily the editor-in-chief. My surname is Tu. ”

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder, after all, it belongs to a group company, and the status of the group after the integration of 'Autumn Rain Literature and Art Publishing House' is obviously higher. The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the Tangtang Publishing House did not have much difficulty in obtaining his contact information from the Capital News.

"Editor-in-Chief Tu, what's the matter?"

"That's right, the simplified copyright of "Ping's Tracer Film" is still in the hands of Mr. Jin Liang, right?"

"In. ”

"The publisher has taken a fancy to the simplified copyright of your book and is interested in buying it. It's inconvenient for us to meet, let's talk about it in detail?"

"Don't be busy meeting first, what price can your company offer?" Deng Zheng said very directly.

Editor-in-chief Tu on the other end of the phone couldn't help frowning, she was also in the process of inquiring about Jin Liang's contact information, only to learn that this "Ping Tracer Film" was originally intended to be submitted to the "Autumn Wind Literature and Art Publishing House", but it was closed. So subconsciously thought that Deng Zheng was angry, and said dishappily: "Mr. Jin Liang, our side was negligent and neglected because of the handover issue. However, the irresponsible front desk receptionist has already been warned and dealt with afterwards......"

"Editor-in-Chief Tu, you misunderstood. I'm not that stingy yet. I'm seriously asking, what price can I get?"

"Up to 1,000 words 15......"

Deng Zheng laughed angrily, bought out one hundred and five thousand words, not as high as the newspaper, and called Huazi? said lightly: "If that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about!"

Editor-in-Chief Tu was choked and his face was a little ugly, and he finally calmed down: "What is the remuneration that Mr. Jin Liang is looking forward to?"

"Divided. I don't want much, 8 percent. ”

"What?!absolutely impossible!"

The editor-in-chief Tu on the other end of the phone almost exploded when he heard this!

Just kidding, you, a young man who doesn't have any publishing experience, dare to shout for a share when you open your mouth, and one mouth is 8 percentage points?

In the publishing industry, newcomers are generally buyout contracts, and only famous artists will sign share contracts. And the range of this score is between 5% and 12%, and it is generally difficult to get more than 8%, there are some writers in the industry who can get 8 points, but they are all well-tested masters, and they will never be newcomers.

Because publishing houses publish books, in addition to the author's remuneration, they also need a lot of other expenses, including typesetting fees, printing fees, paper costs, editing fees, proofreading fees, cover design fees, binding fees, storage fees, marketing and publicity fees, taxes and so on. In addition, there is a discount between yard and real ocean, and then deduct about 10% of the return damage rate......

Calculated according to a single book priced at 30, the maximum amount that the publisher can earn in the end may be about 5 yuan.

In this case, the 8-point division means that for each printed volume, 30 yuan will deduct the manuscript fee of 2.4 yuan before tax to the author.

That's right, Editor-in-Chief Tu is more optimistic about the prospects of this book, to be honest, if you change to those famous artists such as Heqin Sheng, it is not too much to give 8 points, as long as there is a sales guarantee, basically you will still make a lot of money, after all, everyone is still very optimistic about the prospects of this book!

But why are you a newcomer? It's ridiculous! You don't understand the rules at all!

Suddenly, the tone was a little bad: "Mr. Jin Liang, as the saying goes, those who are content are always happy." Our bottom line is three hundred words in a thousand words, you think about it......"

"I can reply to you right now, this price, there is no door. ”

"Young people, don't rush so much! As a senior in the industry, I would like to advise: Yes, yes, but don't take yourself too seriously! Some opportunities, if you miss them, you will miss them forever!"

"Don't bother. I also send you a message to the editorial department: Today you ignore labor and management, and tomorrow labor and management will make you unclimbable!"

After sneering, Deng Zheng hung up the phone decisively.

It's true that you don't want to bid, but the exploitative nature of your capitalists is clearly exposed, but you are annoyed and angry, and you change to your predecessors to criticize and point, then you are too bastard!

Moreover, Deng Zheng doesn't feel that he wants too much at all, a book with a high probability of selling more than one million, as long as it is 8 points, is it too much? !

When he was indignant, the phone rang, and it was a message from Tan Wei:

Brother Zheng, Uncle Deng said that the novel you wrote is going to be published! It's amazing, Brother Zheng! When will it come out? What is your name? Brother Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely take Xiaolu and a few of them to the party, and if anyone dares not to buy ten or eight copies, I will starve her for a week.

Deng Zheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his brows, this information is really timely! It seems that this simplified Chinese publishing matter, I have to have more snacks in the near future!

After thinking about it, I typed a line of words:

Keep it secret for now, and there will be surprises when the time comes.
