Chapter 267 - Golden Signboard (1/5 Subscription)
After hanging up Yao Lingfeng's phone, Lin Han patted his arm very happily, this guy actually set himself up, if he was really coaxed into becoming a free laborer, he might not know what would happen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After having a contract, both parties act according to the rules, understand their rights and obligations, and if there is really any dispute or contradiction, they will not be too serious, so as not to hurt the harmony.
Lin Han looked at the remaining dirt on his fingers, he hurriedly put down his phone, and then rushed to the bathroom and began to rinse and disinfect it with hand sanitizer.
He even took out a wet tissue and began to wipe his mobile phone, after all, he had just taken it directly with his hand, and this was a slight cleanliness patient.
After doing this, Lin Han had time to continue writing his own novels, the full text of "Dark Forest" was only 300,000 words, and at the speed of tens of thousands of words per day for Lin Han, it only took half a month to finish these things.
Except for the initial preface, the upper part of "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" has been written, and this upper part alone is 100,000 words.
Lin Han is now starting to write the middle spell again, and the whole novel is divided into three parts, namely the wall-facer, the spell and the dark forest, and the plot unfolds little by little.
When the sun sets, Lin Han ends the day, although quite a few writers like to write in the dead of night, when inspiration is like a collapse of urine.
But this doesn't apply to Lin Han, he doesn't need inspiration, he just needs to work on a typewriter.
Night is the time he spends with Chen Jiaxuan, after all, they can't see each other during the day, and if they are busy writing at night, it will really be a snub to the beauty.
The sound of the key opening the door came, Chen Jiaxuan walked in a little tired, she took off her high heels and put them on the shoe cabinet, and then changed into comfortable slippers before lying down on the sofa next to Lin Han.
"Honey, you've added more to my work. Chen Jiaxuan pretended to complain and said, she didn't even bother to take off her coat, it's not easy to be a singer these days, and there are countless actor jobs.
Lin Han held her in his arms, and reached out a little clumsily to help Chen Jiaxuan massage her temples, "Compared with the rest, my work is simply negligible." If you're tired, hire a few more people to help you work, and I'll support you anyway. ”
In the past, Lin Han definitely couldn't say such hard words, last year he couldn't even pay the rent, but this year he earned tens of millions of yuan a month, and he was much more confident in speaking.
"After all, Lin Dada, who has an annual income of 21 million yuan, can certainly afford to support me. Chen Jiaxuan quipped, "Today, several publishing houses asked if you would like to publish a book, even if you don't write science fiction, you can write your autobiography." ”
I've only heard of asking myself for a novel manuscript, but I've never heard of a publisher asking me for an autobiography, he's only in his twenties, is it interesting to write an autobiography?
"Let's hear it, how could anyone want to read my autobiography?"
Chen Jiaxuan closed her eyes slightly, feeling the gentle massage of Lin Han's hands, and she explained: "It only took you a year to achieve a gorgeous turn, and those people think that your experience is interesting enough to even be called legendary. If you can't buy your novel, they will buy your autobiography, and even as long as you write your autobiography, they are willing to pay 5 million yuan in advance!"
I usually don't think so, but when those posts on the Internet began to lament Lin Han's turnaround, everyone felt that this guy was really qualified to publish an autobiography, and wanted to see his mental journey, wanting to know what made him change from a director to a writer, and the story of salted fish turning over has always been very popular.
However, Lin Han touched his nose, "Even if they pay more in advance, I don't want to write an autobiography now, it's only been a year, what is there to write." If I want to write it, I will have to wait until I am old and retired, and then I will have enough material. ”
"You're right, it's only 5 million, Penguin Publishing Group is settling the remuneration in North America for June, and it will definitely exceed several million dollars, which is enough for you. ”
Writing an autobiography now seems too inflated, no matter how attractive it is, he is just a young man in his twenties, and his career has just begun, is it possible to publish an autobiography every year in the future?
It has always been difficult to settle the manuscript fee for publishing books, even if these long-term cooperative publishing houses have opened the door, other writers have to take half a year or even more to get the money, and he shortened the time by one or two months.
It's not that a few physical books are sold, and you can immediately get a share of a few books, which is not as easy as online novels.
Delays often lead to authors running to urge editors to ask for fees, which is not true for best-selling authors.
It's like Lin Han's new books "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" and "Three-Body Problem 3: Death and Eternality" are still being written, but many magazines outside have already waved checks and began to woo Lin Han, and even opened the prepaid remuneration to 8 million yuan!
Prepayment is a common way for publishers to win over best-selling authors, and according to the forecast of book sales, authors can receive a portion of the manuscript fee paid in advance by the publisher before the manuscript is delivered.
It is said that Huacheng Publishing House paid 2 million yuan in advance for the publication of "Wang Meng's Autobiography", and Xiangnan Children's Publishing House even gave Cai Huajian, the first domestic thriller novel, a high prepaid royalty of 10 million yuan for his new book "Hell Cage", and in 2004, Clinton's autobiography received an advance payment of 12 million US dollars, each more terrifying than the other.
At present, domestic writers, especially first-line writers, ******** tend to make big promises in terms of first printing, promised printing, royalty rate, and advance payment, but this is actually a temporary boom.
For example, if a newcomer's book is estimated to sell 100,000 copies, he can get a total royalty of 200,000 according to his royalty rate, so it is not impossible to pay 100,000 yuan in advance to the newcomer.
This can ensure the life of the new author, so that he can complete the next creation with peace of mind, but the publisher needs to take a certain risk, because the prediction does not always mean that it is correct, in case the book only sells less than 50,000 copies, then the publisher will lose money and pay more for the manuscript.
However, if the forecast is correct and the prepaid part of the manuscript fee is exceeded, the publisher still has to continue to pay.
Advance remuneration can only be obtained by celebrities and related newcomers, and can only be obtained when multiple publishers compete for the same manuscript source, and it is impossible for ordinary books to have this treatment.
Fortunately, Lin Han did it, he spent a year to create a golden sign for himself, wrote so many books, and never missed a beat, from short to long, so there are quite a lot of ******** who fancy him. (To be continued.) )
