Don't look at some books that sell millions of copies, but sometimes they don't make as much money as those that only sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The same is true for bookstores and publishing houses, there is also a distributor in the middle, so under the two models of underwriting and warehouse protection, it is the powerful party that takes the initiative.

The so-called underwriting is very easy to understand, that is, to give money to ship, no return or exchange, unsalable self-care, whether you can make money depends on yourself.

As for the warehouse guarantee, it is how many percentages can be returned within the specified time, and these percentages range from 20% to -100%!

100% is known as the full library guarantee, and only the main channels like Xinhua Bookstore are generally eligible to get it.

For publishers, the return problem may not be a problem, but the payment is the most headache for them!

Anyone who has done business knows that the final payment is basically the most difficult to get, and all kinds of reasons will be delayed or deducted, but they dare not speak out, after all, they occupy a disadvantaged position.

Lin Han made it very clear in the agreement signed with the publishing house that no matter whether the publishing house got the payment from the bookstore or not, they had to hand over the manuscript fee to Lin Han every month, even if it was an advance payment!

This is the influence of strong writers, some new authors will receive the first advance payment after the publication of their novels, but if they want to get the royalty share, it is estimated that they will have to wait half a year or even longer, depending on whether the publisher has a conscience.

Sometimes the publisher really can't do it, and they haven't received the payment, so they can't pay the manuscript fee, but sometimes they also deliberately default on the manuscript fee!

There is a saying in the industry that most of the authors who have not been owed manuscript fees are not good authors!

The bookstores over there were preparing to carnival, and Lin Han here was also complained by Tan Lin, who had originally done a good job of event planning, but was disrupted by Lin Han's forwarding.

As a last resort, they could only send out the prepared Weibo in advance.

Lin Han was also a little sorry, but he also forwarded Weibo to help promote it as Tan Lin said, who knows if it wasn't forwarded!

At the moment, he doesn't have much energy to spend on this, tonight is the celebration banquet for "The Matrix" to break $1 billion at the global box office, and Lin Han has to be busy with these things.

In fact, the box office of "The Matrix" reached $1 billion a few days ago, and now it is just an auspicious day of the zodiac.

Don't look at Lin Han's writing science fiction novels and paying attention to science, but Galaxy Pictures still tends to be conservative when making time choices, let's see a day!

……

"What have you been busy with lately? Why haven't you heard any news?"

Lin Han and Xu Jiayan had a big hug, this movie can have such a big member, Xu Jiayan is the most famous actor.

The hotel lobby looked resplendent and splendid, and after Xu Jiayan handed over his coat to the assistant, he answered Lin Han's question: "I studied in Italy before, and I came back in the middle to promote the movie, and then rushed back to take the exam." Now that Christmas is over, I'm coming back!"

"That's good, what about the exam results, don't be too miserable, you can't get a graduation certificate. ”

"I just went to study temporarily in the middle, it doesn't matter if I take the exam or not, I just want to have a good result!" Xu Jiayan looked very open, anyway, he was not for the graduation certificate, but really wanted to accumulate some experience for his new film.

Lin Han asked curiously: "Didn't our movie also be released in Italy, can't your classmates and teachers recognize you? ”

"Why not!" Xu Jiayan was quite cooperative, "Anyway, in Rome, windbreakers and sunglasses are very popular, but they are more reserved, but familiar people know me." ”

Agent Smith in "The Matrix" has always been dressed in a suit and sunglasses, and Xu Jiayan is a casual and comfortable style in life, so not many people can recognize him!

However, many people often post photos with him on Instagram, and there are always some people who will recognize him.

After all, this is the birthplace of Armani's brand, outdoor advertising abounds, fortunately, Europeans and Americans have a feeling of face blindness for Asians, otherwise Xu Jiayan would be able to study safely.

"Italians are romantic, most of them have sexual encounters or something, and if you have time, tell us slowly, and never tell the rest!" Chen Jiaxuan quipped, she was very interested in the gossip between these friends!

Xu Jiayan wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and he said to the two people on the side: "How can I tell you this kind of thing casually, you can know it when you travel to Rome yourself." ”

Fortunately, at this time, Zheng Shuping came to the scene wearing a thick down jacket, so Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan had to give up the topic in front of them.

Zheng Lao looked a little unkempt, the temperature inside the hotel was very high, and after he took off his down jacket, there was only a set of Tang clothes left, and his gray hair was in good spirits!

Of course, the reporters waiting in the media area will not let go of this kind of film artist-level figure, the flashlights are lit up one after another, and Zheng Shuping strode over after a simple wave of his hand.

Lin Han didn't expect Zheng Shuping to come, he just sent an invitation as usual!

"Director Zheng, you actually have time to come over today, let's help smash the ice dragon later. ”

"You celebrate the banquet, I'm just here to eat and drink, what's the point of being on stage!" Zheng Shuping shook his head, "You don't care about me, I'll go and catch up with old friends." ”

That being said, Lin Han, as the owner, can't do this, he said with a smile: "1 billion is a 10-digit number, and the number of our main creators is not enough for ten people, just when you came, such a coincidental thing can't be missed!"

"You're a great kid, I just thought your novels and scripts were well written. As a result, making movies is so powerful now, this is the first domestic film to reach a box office of 1 billion US dollars, no matter what changes occur in the film market in the future, this is a stroke that can leave a strong mark in the history of mainland films, much more powerful than us old guys!"

Zheng Shuping's sentiment is very reasonable, when his "The Martian" hit hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, it was unanimously agreed by critics and the media that no film would break its record in the short term.

But in a blink of an eye, "The Matrix" broke through many obstacles among many unfavorable factors, and actually won $1 billion at the global box office in late November and early December, which is very remarkable!

Normally, this schedule is quite unpopular, except for the occasional blockbuster, the rest are either low-budget thrillers or family-friendly Christmas films, and sci-fi films like "The Matrix" are usually placed in the summer slots.

"The Matrix" not only squeezed into the top 20 of the global box office list at the box office, but also received a lot of praise, and entered the Top250 ranks on many rating websites such as IMDB and Douban!

To describe it in a simple sentence, it is that the reputation of the movie with a higher reputation than it is not as good, and the box office of the film with a better reputation than it is not as high!

As Zheng Shuping said, as long as you talk about the Chinese film market, you can't avoid this movie, just like "Hero" opened the era of domestic blockbusters.

Many stars came to the scene at the celebration banquet, which is not only an opportunity to show themselves, but also a social place with many opportunities, and many actors want to take the car of Galaxy Pictures and Lin Han!

Chu Guangchun was holding champagne with a face full of champagne, he was an unknown newcomer more than a month ago, and these celebrities in front of him couldn't be contacted at all, but now he has become one of them.

Sitting on the "Matrix" series, even if his later development is not satisfactory, that popularity is indispensable!

It's no problem to eat a movie for ten or twenty years, not to mention that Chu Guang directly made three films!

On the stage, Lin Han lifted the red cloth covering the table, revealing a crystal clear ice dragon, this ice dragon was light, and the number 10000000000 was included in it, but it did not seem cumbersome, and the craftsman must have spent a lot of thought.

Lin Han and the others stood side by side, holding small hammers in their hands, first asking the reporter to take pictures, and then he smashed the dragon head and the number 1 with all his might!

As the author and director of the original book, and by the way, he is also a producer, Lin Han has naturally become the focus of attention of reporters, and he has a lot of news.

"Director Lin, it was previously reported that the "Matrix" movie series has been filmed, so when will we see the sequel in the cinema at the earliest?"

This is a reporter from CCTV-6 Movie Channel's China Film Report, and they asked the question that everyone is most concerned about at present, after all, the global box office journey of "The Matrix" is nearing the end, and everyone wants to know the schedule of the second part.

In fact, not only the audience and the media are curious, but even the rest of the film companies are also nervous, the current "Matrix" is definitely the most powerful opponent, no one wants to be released at the same time as it, that is completely looking for abuse!

Lin Han had discussed the schedule with Miao Hong and the rest of the film production company before, and now said confidently: "Actually, we have now started to produce the special effects of "The Matrix 2", and we will continue the production of the soundtrack and sound effects of the first part, and strive to be original." As for the release time, it is tentatively set for July 1 this year!"

Lin Han's past few movies were released on relatively unpopular schedules, and he did not participate in the fierce summer file, this time he brought "The Matrix 2" to the summer file to compete with top blockbusters at home and abroad, and his confidence looks very strong!

The director who has not won the summer box office championship cannot be called a commercial director, and now that Lin Han has announced the sequel schedule in a high-profile manner, it is estimated that the movies in the same period will have to think about it, whether to stay and fight with "The Matrix 2", or change the schedule to avoid it!
