Chapter 158: Traditional Chinese First
As one of the partners, Tong Yan, when he is not famous, the other party may have a lot of requirements for him, but when he reaches the current fame, it is easy to say, and because of the fierce competition in Taiwan's publishing industry, publishing companies will compromise to compete for him.
When the novel channel drew a big pie with sales of more than 6,000 royalty income of 13%, Taiwan's No. 1 publishing company Xianwang also followed suit and made the same promise, in fact, this is their usual rule for treating gods, and Tong Yan Wuji now deserves such treatment.
Because Tong Yan is determined to divide this time, how much ability to eat a lot of pie, so he is not interested in buying out, unless the price can reach 200 thousand words, but after several rounds of negotiations, Xinchang mentioned 160 thousand words, Hetu Publishing House came out with a price of 180, although the adventurer paradise is willing to pay a sky-high price of 200 thousand words, but the sales volume is not less than 3500 copies, if it can really sell 3500 copies, then it is better to share.
Tong Yan finally chose the Frequency Publishing House, 10% of the royalty share, sales of more than 6000, then according to 13% calculation, even if it can be achieved after a long time, this part will be supplemented to the author, of course, the real sales volume, it all depends on the conscience of the publishing house, but this kind of big publishing house generally does not cheat the author's manuscript fee, because of the small loss, the gain outweighs the loss.
The conditions given by Frequency and Xianwang are basically the same, but Frequency has fewer restrictions on Tong Yan's serialization in the www.biquge.info of Biquge, so that Tong Yan can gather popularity on the Internet without any worries.
It took Tong Yan a lot of time and energy to negotiate contracts with several publishing houses, but fortunately, Sister Gua was behind his back to help him give advice, otherwise Tong Yan would definitely be more blind, Tong Yan may not be very business-minded, and he is not good at talking about business with people, whenever he bargains with those old fritter editors. Tong Yan would think that it would be good if he could have an agent, and all the business cooperation negotiations would be handed over to him. He is only responsible for writing novels, which is his favorite thing.
But it's just a fantasy that other celebrities earn millions of dollars a year. It is normal to find a broker, where can he afford to hire someone with his little income, maybe when he earns millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year, he will consider hiring a broker with better quality and lower price.
Tong Yan originally expected to release a new book at the end of October and put it on the shelves in December before the end of the old book, but he frequently asked Tong Yan to provide the manuscript of the three volumes of the book first. Then it can be published online, that is, the free chapter part of the novel, the traditional must precede the Internet, and the later paid chapters, they no longer interfere.
After finishing the book, he rested for nearly a month, although it was better to send the book directly after finishing the book, or it was more conducive to the transfer of popularity to send the book before the book was finished, but Tong Yan still agreed.
One is that he did feel too tired during this time, and he worked continuously for almost a year like a machine that didn't need to rest. The average day of sleep does not exceed five hours, the muscles are less, and the belly is bigger. The back is bent and the hair is gray, so you can take advantage of this time to restore your body and recuperate.
In addition, he felt that the preparation was still not enough, this would be a very grand world of cultivation, and Tong Yan hoped to continue to improve the setting and framework of the novel when he created the first three episodes.
Tong Yan has faith in his readers, and he believes that they will not abandon him because of this month's pause. And his readers are also very caring, and many people leave messages in the book review area and readership. Hopefully he'll take a break after writing Raging Thunder, but the cunning guys added, "But don't keep us waiting." They were all afraid that Tong Yan would rest for half a year as soon as he rested. Wait for the college entrance examination before going out of the mountain.
Tong Yan told her thoughts to Watermelon, and she very much agreed with his decision.
Watermelon: It's time for you to take a break, high school student, I just have to think that you write a novel so late every night, I feel tired for you, I didn't even have time to fall in love when I was in high school, but you have already written a super long novel of 1.5 million words!
Tong Yan: It's as if you have time to fall in love now.
Watermelon: I'm just not interested for the time being, as long as I want to, I want to chase my sister's lot.
Tong Yan: Sister Gua, why don't I introduce you to someone?
Watermelon: you, what a little kid, you still want to be a matchmaker for me!
Tong Yan: There are no big or small matchmakers, but since you don't want to, just let me not say it.
Watermelon: Who do you want to introduce me?
Tong Yan: Who just sarcastically mocked my little boy with a disdainful face?
Watermelon: Which eye of yours saw me with disdain!
Tong Yan and Watermelon chatted a few words, and in the end he didn't say who to introduce to her, he just had a flash of inspiration, he couldn't really introduce Liu Ming's cousin to her, the two of them were one south and one north, the distance was too far, it was really impossible.
Tong Yan and Sister Gua's chat is basically nonsense, chatting about gossip and scandals in the circle, talking about business very little, and the questions about the content of the new book are basically not involved, watermelon is afraid that she will have a negative impact on Tong Yan's creation, she belongs to the kind of typical person who can read books and can't write books, she can see which books have potential, which kind of books are easy to fire, but she doesn't have the ability to write books, and she can point out some laymen who don't understand it at all, but a writer like Tong Yan is a very high rank, it's no longer something she can instruct, otherwise she would have written a novel by herself, the salary of their ordinary editors is far from that of a popular writer like Tong Yan.
If Tong Yan has any doubts about the content of the novel, he can talk to the editor-in-chief 314 314 himself is an Internet writer, and he also jokingly cooperated with the great god of the www.biquge.info of Biquge, and created the smash hit rebirth novel "Dream Back to Ninety-Seven" under the pseudonym of a psychic, if Tong Yan has any doubts in the creative process, I believe 314 will give him some help.
Tong Yan had already added 314's QQ, 314 took the initiative to chat with Tong Yan once, it was considered that the two of them officially got on the line to say hello, he sent a sentence in the morning "Hello Mowgli", Tong Yan replied late at night "Hello editor-in-chief", and then they didn't pay attention to each other for half a month, and then Tong Yan took the initiative to talk to him once, that was at the end of "Furious Thunder", Tong Yan was a little confused, the article was changed and changed, I don't know how to write, at that time Tong Yan looked for 314 to talk about his own problems.
314 may not be as good at writing fantasy novels as many top writers, but he has read too many books, and there are some things that Tong Yan can't understand in them, but if he is a little bit, he will immediately understand it. But it's too late now, it's not appropriate to disturb people, Tong Yan plans to take the notebook to school tomorrow and talk to the other party at noon.
Tong Yan understands the editor-in-chief, but the sleepwalker doesn't understand his editor-in-charge at all, the watermelon is about to sleep, and he sent a message: I won't write "Becoming a God", and I don't want this pen name anymore!
A writer, forced to this part by his readers, it can be seen that he is indeed angry, watermelon persuaded him to be calm, although she can't read this "Chengshen", but it is more than the author who wrote "Subverting the Laughing Proud Jianghu", the skill is still there, and at this time the anger is no longer writing books, which is also a loss to the readers.
The watermelon comforted the sleepwalker a few words, and the sleepwalker said that he was going to change his pen name, and he was going to be reborn from the fire, and this uncle had a good temper.
"And what are you going to write next?"
"I want to write history, do you know that Tianya has a post called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which is super good-looking, I plan to write a time-traveling novel, just wear the Ming Dynasty!"
After chatting with 314, he felt that this was a slow-burning novel, and the reason for the slow-burning was that the main line of Xiuzhen appeared too late, but he agreed with Tong Yan's way of writing, the previous part is indispensable, which not only writes about the changes and sublimation of the heroine's and heroine's emotions, making the later plot more reasonable, but also unfolding the monk's world little by little, making the entire worldview structure more rich and intuitive.
"No wonder Taiwanese editors are not very optimistic about your book, it's too slow to enter the theme, traditional best-selling books are definitely not written in this way, Taiwanese readers like to read the kind of novels that start at the beginning, if you are now famous, and then write a novel like "Raging Thunder", someone will definitely pay the price of 200 words per thousand."
"Although there are a lot of differences between the front and the main clue, you can carve it more carefully and write the emotional drama better, I think our mainland readers should like it, just like "Zhu Xian", it is superior to move talents with emotion."
After chatting with the editor-in-chief, Tong Yan accelerated the progress of the new book, and now he has written 80,000 words, and the content of the first volume of 70,000 words has also been sent to the editor of Shuopin Publishing House, Feng Qianchen, who will be the first to release it in the Taiwan book market in the near future. The manuscript of the second volume will be sent to him after the end of the old book next month, and the third volume of the new book can be delivered before the first release www.biquge.info of the new book, and then Tong Yan can receive at least two volumes of the book every month in traditional Chinese manuscript payment, because "Furious Thunder" is still published in Xinchang at the rate of one volume per month, at least for more than half a year.
People really can't be compared, Zhou Hao sees Tong Yan running home every night after school, it is said that he is in good physical condition to better write novels.
It's really hard.,Zhou Hao can't do it at all.,At the beginning, he was enthusiastically supported.,He can still be happy with code words.,Later, a reader told him in the book review area.,This kind of novel has a very low signing rate.,Unless the grades are particularly good.,How can you make the grades good?,In addition to speeding up the update that he can't do at all.,It's also a good way to ask the gods to recommend.。
There is a great god of Tong Yan Wuji next to him, but he is embarrassed to say that he found that since his mother knew that he wrote this novel, he looked at him strangely, and yesterday he also told him not to get too close to Sun Hao, and he didn't know what she was thinking, in order not to let the god of Wuji think crookedly, or don't sue him, if the grades are poor, the grades will be poor, and he doesn't point to relying on this novel to become famous, it is regarded as an experience, and the monthly exam is coming soon, and the next update speed is probably going to slow down again, this update frequency, It's strange to be able to fire.
Zhou Hao's mentality is good, but the situation of Duan Hou at the same time as him is not so optimistic...... (To be continued)
