"Literary Youth" magazine and Lin Zixuan discussed the manuscript fee and the publication of the manuscript. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a well-known writer in China, Lin Zixuan's current manuscript fee is not something that can be sent for dozens of yuan, and with the development of the economy, the writer's manuscript fee is also rising and polarized.

The gap between the fees of established writers and new writers is getting wider.

In the past, the remuneration of writers was set by the state, but now that the market has been liberalized, the remuneration of newspapers and magazines has fluctuated greatly.

In 1977, the State Publishing Bureau stipulated that the remuneration for writers was 2 to 7 yuan for 1,000 words, and the remuneration for translators was 1 to 5 yuan for 1,000 words, and in 1980, the remuneration for works was raised to 3 to 10 yuan for 1,000 words, and the remuneration for translators was 2 to 7 yuan.

At that time, it was a special period, and it was understandable that such a low remuneration was not much different, and there was not much difference between the remuneration of newcomers and famous writers.

At that time, a song or poem could only get a dozen yuan for manuscript fees.

Some literary and art workers once sighed: My creation can't support my art.

Later, there was an increase in the remuneration, but the increase was not large, until the nineties, the economy was invigorated, and the remuneration system was loosened, and some magazines offered high remuneration in order to attract famous writers to submit.

For example, a famous writer writes a column in a magazine, regardless of the number of words, and can get 3,000 yuan per article.

There is also a famous writer who offered a sky-high price of five yuan per word to the magazine, and a thousand words is 5,000 yuan, which deviates from the law of the market and is a bit suspected of self-hype.

This year, the remuneration set by the State Publishing Bureau is 40 to 100 yuan for 1,000 words.

In other words, a writer can only get a maximum of 100 words per 100 words.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, and magazines can compensate famous writers in other ways to attract them to contribute, which creates a gap between the rich and the poor in the writers' industry.

Besides, today's writers don't pay much attention to their manuscripts, they care more about royalty income.

The royalties of a best-selling book are often in the millions, which makes many famous authors the first to get rich.

This is the case with Lin Zixuan, who can now make a good living just by relying on royalties.

"Literary Boy" gave Lin Zixuan a salary of 80 words per 1,000 words, which is comparable to the price of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" published in the magazine "Ancient and Modern Legends", and the remuneration of popular literature is lower than that of serious literature.

Fairy tales are generally considered popular literature, and this "Little Snow's Great Adventure" can get a salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Lin Zixuan had no objection to this, he told the magazine about the general writing plan, and the story of this series will be written about two times a year, and it will take three to four years to finish.

The magazine society accordingly made arrangements to publicize the story.

They have already thought of the publicity gimmick, the latest masterpiece of the author of "The Hulu Brothers", an adventure in the wizarding world.

After six years of accumulation, the cartoon "Hulu Brothers" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I believe that children across the country will not miss this "Little Snow's Great Adventure".

For Lin Zixuan, this is just the beginning of the whole plan.

In June, at the filming site of "Endless", Lin Zixuan was talking to Feng Xiaogang about advertising placement.

Due to the success of the first two Chinese New Year films, advertisers are targeting Feng Xiaogang's third Chinese New Year film, unlike insiders who are not optimistic about this "Endless", advertisers are full of confidence.

Advertisers feel that as long as Ge You is starring, it is worth their investment.

Nowadays, the concept of advertising placement is no longer new, and it can be seen everywhere in urban TV dramas, and this trend is spreading to the film industry, and art films disdain to do this, feeling that it is a desecration of art.

Advertisers are eyeing entertainment films, especially those that are box office hits.

To be honest, as an audience, Lin Zixuan was quite disgusted with the placement of advertisements in the movie, and when he filmed "Beijing People in New York", there was no way, so he went around looking for manufacturers to attract investment and put advertisements in the series.

However, he is now the owner of a film and television company, and from a profit perspective, product placement is the fastest way to recoup costs.

The advertising cost is not the box office, there is no need to share the account with the theater chain, what you earn is your own, as long as you implant a few more advertisements, the investment can basically be recovered.

Those Hollywood blockbusters and Cheng Long's action movies have product placement ads in them, which is a very normal phenomenon.

When filming "Party A and Party B", no one believed that they would succeed, and no advertisers came to the door, and the filming of "See You or Leave" went directly abroad, and there was no advertising placement, but now there are many companies.

If one advertiser collects 200,000 yuan, ten advertisers are 2 million, which is equivalent to half of the investment in the movie.

Wang Zhongjun is an advertisement, he agrees with this approach, it is important to make money, entertainment films are just for fun, not so artistic, product placement advertising has little impact on the movie, maybe it can make the audience feel fresh.

From the perspective of capital, this makes sense, starting a company is to make money.

It's just that Lin Zixuan is still a little hypocritical, he can't let go, he feels that he doesn't value money so much, how to say that he is also a cultural person, and he can't be so eager for money.

This "Endless" tells a story related to money, and the characters in the play are busy just for 90,000 yuan.

He feels that this film captures the impetuous mentality of people who seek profit at the moment.

Of course, he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, he has money himself, but what about those who don't have money, ordinary people, laid-off workers, people can't live without money, so they can only look at money.

In the end, times have changed, and society has changed.

Lin Zixuan also wants to make changes, he discussed it with Feng Xiaogang, and felt that it was possible to implant ads, but not too much, three advertisements were enough, and it could not affect the audience to watch the film, and each advertisement received 300,000 yuan, which was considered an additional income.

"How about that Shu Qi?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"It's okay, I've cooperated well these days, and I'm willing to communicate. Feng Xiaogang responded, "She is very savvy in performance, and with such a good appearance, as long as she can meet a good opportunity, she should have a future." ”

With the last confession, Shu Qi let go a lot, but her accent is still not Beijing enough, and she needs to find someone to dub it later.

Lin Zixuan saw Guo Degang in the crew, Guo Degang played a small supporting role in this play, and there were not many scenes.

Through several contacts, he found that Guo Degang was a person with a strong sense of the rivers and lakes, or a mixed society, and a reckless background.

When he is not filming, Guo Degang likes to say a few small jokes to enliven the atmosphere of the crew, and he will also talk about his learning experience, how hard he worked to learn art from his teacher.

"Then when you accept apprentices yourself in the future, you must remember to treat people well and not be too harsh. Lin Zixuan said. (To be continued.) )
