"The text is good, you can sign a contract. Lao Lan sent a message to Xie Sipeng.

Xie Sipeng immediately replied: "Okay, I'll bring the author over to talk to you." ”

Lao Lan was a little disappointed and asked, "The author is not you?"

"How can I have this talent, the author is a student of Nanhai University School of Medicine, the little guy is quite talented, and he is only a freshman this year. Xie Sipeng replied with a smile, and he could guess through the computer what kind of expression Lao Lan would have when he saw this.

"!!!!!," the old blue-haired came with a bunch of exclamation points.

It's only a freshman student, and a liar will believe it!

The author is not Xie Sipeng, but Lao Lan does not believe that the author is a freshman at all, although the medical school of Nanhai University is a famous school, but it is impossible for such a pervert to appear! Judging by his many years of experience in reviewing manuscripts, the author can write such a manuscript only if he has at least the experience of working in a hospital.

Xie Sipeng set up a PP temporary group, pulled Lao Lan and Di Yishuai into it respectively, and then sent a message in the group: "First of all, the quack doctor is the author of "Strange Doctor Di Renjie", and Lao Lan is the editor-in-chief of our company's five-star publishing house, you two talk." ”

Di Yishuai and Lao Lan politely exchanged words, because Di Yishuai had no experience in publishing books, and he didn't know what to say, so he waited for the other party to say it first.

Lao Lan is also a straight person, and he does not shy away from Xie Sipeng is also in the group, directly picking out that "Strange Doctor Di Renjie" meets the requirements for signing a publication, and then confirming the ownership of the copyright with Di Yishuai, etc., the process is like Xie Sipeng and Di Yishuai talking about the publication of the article, and the conversation process is very smooth.

Lao Lan: "How many words are you writing in "Strange Doctor Di Renjie" now, and how many words are you going to write?"

When Di Yishuai decided to write this book, the writing outline had been formed in his mind, a case was about 50,000 words, with the fact that he had encountered a lot of cases in the hospital in his previous life, and he could learn from various incurable diseases in the American drama "Doctor House", as long as the characters in the book did not collapse, it should be no problem to continue to write more than 100 cases to make up millions of words.

So Di Yishuai counted the number of words he had written so far, and replied: "There are currently more than 60,000 words written, and it is expected to be about 5 million words." ”

If it weren't for Xie Sipeng's inclusion in the group, Lao Lan might have scolded his mother directly, and now the newcomers are all over-eyed, and they have to write super long stories at every turn, and then they can't control it in the middle and late stages, and the writing level has plummeted, resulting in the book not being sold out, and the publishing house has lost all its money......

Lao Lan actually wants to suggest that the author should not be so ambitious, it is enough to write hundreds of thousands of words in a long form, but Xie Sipeng is also in the group, although the author is not Xie Sipeng, but it is estimated that he also has a relationship with Xie Sipeng, otherwise Xie Sipeng will not recommend the manuscript for him for no reason, so Lao Lan decided to sell his personal favor to Xie Sipeng, anyway, the current quality of this manuscript is still quite high, and the publication value is very great, and if the book is too long or the author writes it so that readers don't buy it, the publishing house has the right to cut it, and the publishing house is not afraid that the publishing house will lose all its money at that time。

Lao Lan: "The current novels in China are published in a volume of 150,000 words, when will you be able to write the first volume?"

"No later than the day after tomorrow. "Di Yishuai wrote 50,000 words in one night last night, and at this rate, it will not take more than three days at most, that is, 150,000 words can be completed by tomorrow, but in order to be safe, Di Yishuai extended the time by one day.

Lao Lan: "First to ensure the quality, as long as the current level is maintained, it doesn't matter if the manuscript is delivered later." ”

"Don't worry. Di Yishuai replied, you can rest assured about the quality, Ben Shuai never checks the manuscript, once it is!

Lao Lan: "Well, the royalty of the first book given by our club is 6-8 points, since you were recommended by Lao Xie, then 10 points to sign your book, is there a problem?"

Xie Sipeng: "Lao Lan, you're not kind to you, are you?"

Di Yishuai, who didn't understand the royalties very well, since the other party had added two points to Xie Sipeng's face, he couldn't ask too much, so when he was about to agree, he saw that Xie Sipeng suddenly interjected at this time, so he stopped to see what the two of them said.

Lao Lan: "Why am I not kind?"

Xie Sipeng: "Xiao Di also submitted a few papers on my side, and I received them at the highest price, and the highest price for your publishing house is 15 points." ”

Lao Lan: "That's the price of a well-known writer, and the highest price for a newcomer is 10 points, which is currently the market in China." ”

Xie Sipeng: "Don't talk about newcomers, let me ask you, how many well-known writers can write manuscripts of this quality?"

Lao Lan: "Well-known writers have IP advantages, they have regular fans to pay for their books, and you also know that newcomers' books can only be sold by our publicity......"

Lao Lan scolded his mother directly, Xie Sipeng is also a person from his own company, how can he dismantle his own company's platform like this, the quality of this manuscript is really good, compared to those well-known writers, it is not compromised, and even more than that, but newcomers always belong to newcomers, there is no advantage of well-known writers, and there are no fixed fans to pay for the book, if you want to sell the book, in addition to relying on the quality of the book, you also need to rely on the promotion and publicity of the publishing house, which all need to be spent......

Xie Sipeng: "Then at least give a higher one." ”

Lao Lan: "12 points, no matter how high it is, you can't sign it." ”

Xie Sipeng: "Xiao Di, your opinion?"

"No problem, what is the number of first printing?" When Di Yishuai was chatting with the two of them, he hurriedly searched the Internet for the royalties of this world writer, and confirmed that what Lao Lan said was indeed the truth, and now Lao Lan has increased to 12 points, which is definitely a sky-high price for a newcomer who has no name, and here Di Yishuai has to be grateful to Xie Sipeng, if it were not for Xie Sipeng, maybe he would have sold his debut book cheaply.

Lao Lan: "Fifty thousand." ”

"So little?" Di Yishuai calculated, according to the current price of 30 Chinese dollars per book in the Chinese book market, the first printing of 50,000 copies, 12% of the royalty, is 180,000 yuan, and after deducting personal income tax, the amount in hand is only a little more than 150,000, which is far from the money in his mind.

Lao Lan: "There are a lot, many of the new authors are trying the water with a first printing of 10,000 copies, if it weren't for the quality of your book, I wouldn't dare to print 50,000 ...... for the first time."

Xie Sipeng: "Xiao Di, the first printing is not so important, if your book is a big seller, you can temporarily reprint, and the number of additional prints will also give you royalties." ”

"Oh, can you pay the manuscript when you submit the manuscript?" Di Yishuai asked tentatively, just now he searched the Internet for the publication of books, and he usually waited for a few months after the book was released to get the manuscript fee, and he didn't know when the book would be on the market, if it was delayed for a year or two and then listed, the daylily would be cold at that time.

Lao Lan: "The remuneration will be paid within 6 months after the book is released. ”

"I'm very short of money now, can I be accommodating?" Di Yishuai wrote the book simply because he needed money in front of him, but it took so long for the money to arrive, which made him have no motivation to write it down at all.

Lao Lan: "Our publishing house is also short of money. ”

Xie Sipeng: "Lao Lan is accommodating, as far as I know, Xiao Di is really short of money now, otherwise I wouldn't have settled his remuneration for seven papers earlier, and I only arranged for the first paper to be launched today." ”

Lao Lan: "......"

Xie Sipeng: "No matter how short of money your publishing house is, it won't lack this little money, right?"

Lao Lan: "Okay, but the quality of the manuscript must be passed, and it is best to maintain the current level." ”

"Don't worry about this, I'm embarrassed to deliver it if the writing is too bad. Di Yishuai replied with satisfaction, there is a way to do it is really easy to do, and the matter is done.

The next thing is to discuss the signing of the publishing contract, after the conditions are negotiated, these are small things, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, Di Yishuai promised to deliver the manuscript immediately, and Lao Lan also guaranteed that the picture would be listed as soon as possible.
