Chapter 39 On Publishing

Coming to the imperial capital by plane early in the morning, Wu Qi did not go to the Imperial Capital Film Academy for the first time, but went to Jianghu Magazine.

As one of the top three martial arts magazines in the country, the headquarters of Jianghu Magazine is in the imperial capital, and the two sides have made an appointment by phone yesterday, and he came over today to talk about things.

"It's here. ”

According to the address, I found Jianghu Magazine.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

As soon as I entered, the front desk lady asked.

Wu Qi smiled and said, "I'm looking for Wang Bing, editor-in-chief." ”

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, I'll ask. ”

Soon, Wang Bing came out, saw Wu Qi, and said with a smile: "Teacher Wu, you came, did you just rush over?"

Wu Qi nodded: "Yes, I took an early flight, and I came over as soon as I got off the plane." ”

Wang Bing said: "Oh, that's really lucky. ”

Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's important to get down to business, you can't let people wait for a long time." ”

"Alright, you come with me. ”

Jianghu Magazine helped to contact the Imperial Capital University Press, which is a very well-known publishing house in China, and its strength is very strong.

When publishing a novel, there must be a direct relationship between sales and the quality of the novel, but the publishing house's distribution ability is also very important, and signing a contract with a large publishing house will inevitably have a certain increase in sales.

In a meeting room, Wu Qi met He Letian, the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Capital University Press, and an editor, who had been here for a while, and really showed sincerity, giving him a good first impression.

Wang Bing gave a briefing to the two sides, and after getting to know each other, they held consultations and negotiations in a friendly atmosphere.

When it came to interests, Wu Qi was naturally very concerned and asked first: "Editor-in-Chief He, if my book is published in your publishing house, how much royalty can I get." ”

He Letian pondered for a moment before he said: "Generally, newcomers publish books, and the royalties are between 6% and 8%, of course, Mr. Wu is not an ordinary newcomer author, I am in charge, and I will give you 9% of the royalty share, what do you think." ”

Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Less." ”

He Letian frowned slightly and asked, "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

“12%。 ”

"No, it's too much. ”

"Then how much do you say, anyway, I think 9% is definitely less. ”

"Or 9.5 percent. ”

"Don't make this 0.5, 10%, just round up. ”

"Okay, 10 percent. ”

The two went back and forth, like swords and swords, and finally agreed on a 10% royalty share.

As far as Wu Qi was concerned, 10% of the royalties was a bit small, and he expected 12%, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

Ping's Tracer Movie is a little famous, but he is a newcomer after all, and when he negotiates with a big publishing house like Imperial Capital University Press, his confidence is not so sufficient.

"Mr. Wu, happy cooperation. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

After signing the contract, the two shook hands, He Letian said hello to Wang Bing again, and left with his subordinates.

"Mr. Wu, let's go to our office area, many colleagues in our magazine want to meet you. ”

Wang Bing said with a smile.

"Okay. ”

Wu Qi agreed very happily, he came over this time, and he already wanted to visit Jianghu Magazine and get to know the editor-in-chief and editor of the magazine.

Although it is one of the top three martial arts magazines in the country, the office area of Jianghu Magazine is really not large, and there are not too many staff, only more than 30 people.

"Bang Bang ......"

Clapping his slap and attracting everyone's attention, Wang Bing said loudly: "Comrades, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Wu Qiwu, the author of Ping's Traceless Film." ”

"Ah, Mr. Wu is here, it's great. ”

"This ...... This is Mr. Wu?"

"No, Mr. Wu is too young. ”

"The editor-in-chief has always said that Mr. Wu is very young, but he didn't expect that he would be so young. ”

"Have you grasped the point, is he so handsome, handsome and so talented, it makes people's hearts pound. ”

"Hmph, nymphoac. ”

……

At this moment, Wu Qi felt like a monkey being watched, and he was really a little uncomfortable to be judged by others.

In his previous life, he was a very ordinary person, from childhood to adulthood, he has always been very ordinary and ordinary, and he belongs to the kind that cannot be distinguished by throwing it in the pile of people.

Suddenly being watched by so many people, it is normal for him to be a little uncomfortable, but he consciously adjusted slowly, and soon he will be fine.

He has no experience of being noticed by many people, but he has a predecessor, and his predecessor belongs to the kind of good students who are excellent at learning, and the top students are not enough to describe, he can be called a god of learning.

I went to school very early, went to the first grade of primary school at the age of five, skipped grades during primary school and middle school, and it was common to take the first place in the school and the first in the county.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Qi, the author of Ping's Traceless Video, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

With a small adjustment, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Wu Qi waved his hand to them and said with a smile.

A small and cute girl rushed up, holding a notebook and a pen in her hand, looked at him with crimson cheeks, and said excitedly: "Teacher Wu, I am your book lover, can you sign me." ”

"Good. ”

Wu Qi took the pen and paper and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl said happily: "My name is Xu Ting." ”

So, Wu Qi opened his notebook and wrote a line on the title page, wishing Xu Ting a smile and happiness every day, and then leaving his name.

"Mr. Wu, sign one for me too. ”

"I want it too, I want it too. ”

"Mr. Wu, I'm in trouble......"

……

Seeing Xu Ting's success, many eager people came up to ask for autographs, most of them were young girls, and there were also two young people.

For everyone's love, Wu Qi naturally wants to be thanked, and everyone who wants to sign is satisfied, and later, some of the older people who were originally more restrained and reserved also took paper and pens and stood silently at the back of the line.

After signing his name, he chatted with everyone for a few more words to satisfy their curiosity, and Wang Bing took him to meet the editor-in-chief of Jianghu Magazine.

"Mr. Wu, this is the editor-in-chief of our Jianghu Magazine, and also our boss, Jiang Shangxing. ”

"Editor-in-chief, this is Mr. Wu Qiwu, the author of Ping's Traceless Video. ”

Jiang Shangxing is a middle-aged man who looks elegant, with fine and introverted eyes, he has been looking at Wu Qi, and said with a smile: "Teacher Wu, you have really made me a friend for a long time, I always want to see you, and today I finally got my wish, and I am really a young talent." ”

Wu Qi said gently: "I praise it falsely, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, in front of martial arts masters like Editor-in-Chief Jiang, where do I dare to call it a genius." ”
