Chapter 80: Entering the Children's Literature Market
Dong Guo Yao heard what else to say, so he had to say: "That's okay, you tell me the specific time and place, and I'll go when I'm free." ”
"It's not that you can come when you have time, you must come, you can't do it without you. Zhang Dai instructed.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, hang up. ”
Dong Guo Yao had no choice but to agree.
"Youth is a distant place that can never come back, the years have worn out my youthful frivolity, the young man in white in my memory, do you still remember the original wish......
Just hung up Zhang Dai's phone, and was about to dial the phone of Nanyang Entertainment Channel, the mobile phone rang again.
Dongguo Yao saw that it was Xu Yanjie calling, and thought in his heart: Could it be that he was talking about the manuscript he sent in the morning?
"Hello?"
Dong Guo Yao answered the phone.
"Hey, is it Mr. Dong Guo Yao?" Xu Yanjie's obviously excited voice came out of the phone.
"It's me, what's wrong, is the manuscript okay?" asked Dong Guo Yao.
"Yes, yes, that's right, we read your manuscript and are very satisfied. Do you know, our review editor actually cried and said to me after reading your manuscript that if the Education Press doesn't publish this fairy tale book as soon as possible, she will leave the Education Press, haha. Xu Yanjie said and laughed.
"Hehe, so, you called to negotiate a contract?" Dongguo Yao asked with a smile when he heard this.
"Yes, I called you just to tell you that our publishing house has now sent a contracted editor to discuss with you about signing a publication, and now it has left for the airport, and it will be Nanyang when it is about to be later, you shouldn't have anything to do at night, right?" Xu Yanjie opened her mouth and told Dong Guo Yao about the real purpose of her call.
"You guys sent someone over directly?" Dong Guo Yao was stunned when he heard this.
"Hehe, we don't want such a good book to fall into the hands of other publishers. Xu Yanjie half-jokingly.
"Alright then, they can call me when they get to Nanyang, I happen to be in the city right now. Dong Guo Yao said when he heard this.
"Okay, then I won't bother you here, our contracted editor will call you after it passes, and please keep your phone on. Xu Yanjie said.
"Okay, bye-bye. ”
Dongguo Yao didn't expect that the Education Publishing House would personally send a contracted editor to talk to him about publishing, so he had to wait in Nanyang first.
Dong Guo Yao couldn't go back for the time being, so he told Sheng Qianyu about the matter and asked for their opinions.
Several people said they wanted to go back, so Dong Guo Yao sent a few people to the station, bought tickets and let them take the train back first.
After sending a few people away, Dong Guo Yao thought about waiting and waiting, so he simply dealt with the secret filming of Nanyang Entertainment Channel, so he dialed the phone number that contacted Sheng Daishu just now.
As soon as the phone was dialed, Dong Guo Yao immediately identified himself.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Qiutian immediately said excitedly after hearing that the other party was Mr. Dongguo: "Mr. Dongguo, it can be regarded as waiting for your call." ”
"Hehe, your show is well planned, huh?"
Dong Guo Yao opened his mouth without being salty.
Lu Qiutian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood what Dong Guo Yao meant, and said: "This, we didn't expect you to appear in People's Square before, don't worry, we haven't played your video yet." ”
"It's not a big deal, but I wish I was alone in the video. ”
Dong Guo Yao also understands that since the other party intends to invite him to participate in the next phase of entertainment, presumably the other party can still agree to this request.
"This is easy to say, this is easy to say, and when the time comes, some unnecessary parts will be reduced. ”
Lu Qiutian said, and said again: "That's the case, I called you before, mainly to invite you to participate in our next phase of entertainment, I wonder if you have time?"
"There's time. Dong Guo Yao has no intention of taking the initiative to rely on the entertainment industry for the time being, but if there is an opportunity to increase his exposure, and there is still money to get it, he will naturally not refuse.
Next, let's talk about the appearance fee.
Although Nanyang Entertainment Channel has some influence, it is only a local station after all, so the production budget for each issue of Entertainment is only more than 300,000 yuan.
In addition to other expenses, the cost of inviting guests is only more than 200,000 yuan, so most of the entertainment is usually just to invite some outdated stars or some well-known artists in Nanchuan Province, and the cost is generally not too high.
So in the end, Lu Qiutian didn't give Dong Guo Yao much appearance fee, only 60,000 yuan.
This price, to be honest, is a little sorry for Dong Guo Yao's current popularity.
But Dong Guo Yao didn't say much, after all, this is a hometown TV station, even if it is to send benefits to the people of his hometown.
After talking to Lu Qiutian, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the call from the Education Publishing House had not yet arrived.
Dongguo Yao simply chose a coffee shop and sat down, this is a 24-hour coffee shop, the environment is also good, very suitable for talking about things.
I asked for a private room, while drinking coffee, I was thinking about how I was going to go next, and it was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the phone of the Education Publishing House still didn't call, Sheng Qianyu made a phone call and asked about Dong Guo Yao's situation.
waited until eight o'clock in the evening, and Dong Guo Yao's mobile phone finally rang.
Seeing that the place of ownership of the call was Beijing, Dong Guo Yao knew that it should be someone from the Education Press.
When I got on the phone, it was a call from the contracted editor of the Education Press.
However, the people have not yet arrived, and they are still on the road and there is still some distance from the city of NY, but it should be soon.
8:45 p.m.
The person sent by the Education Publishing House to negotiate a contract with Dong Guo Yao finally came, and there were two people in total, one was about thirty years old and had a full beard.
One is about twenty-three or fourteen years old, still a little young, and looks like he has just joined the work.
The two sides simply said hello, and seeing that the time was not early, everyone went straight to the point and began to talk about the contract.
The whole negotiation process went smoothly, and the Education Publishing House directly offered a 12% share price before tax, which was enough to see its sincerity, so Dongguo Yao did not bargain again.
Generally speaking, the normal royalty is about 6%, and the royalty rate of famous artists is higher, maybe 10% or 12%, or even higher, so the price given by the Education Publishing House to Dong Guo Yao is already regarded as treating him as a top writer.
Dong Guo Yao took a general look at the contract, and signed the contract after finding that there was nothing wrong with the contract.
With the signing of the contract, Dongguo Yao also officially entered children's literature!
