Chapter 127: Finalized Simplified
Tong Yan Wuji already has a certain reputation on the Internet, although the publishing houses that submitted the manuscript took the path of orthodox publishing, but the editors provided by Tang Sanshao are all interested in online novels, so they basically know that Tong Yan Wuji is the number one, and he knows the results of "Rage and Thunder", even if it is not very clear, he will have all of them in a search on the Internet.
In addition, "Rage Thunder" is well-written, the content is positive, there are ignition points, and there are cute points, which is indeed more about the way of simplified entities, so after some thought, the four publishing houses all replied to Tong Yan's email.
The four old editors all expressed interest in this novel, but none of them offered a good price in their replies, so Tong Yan had to negotiate with them one by one, because some of them didn't work at night, so Tong Yan had to sacrifice his lunch break and run back at noon to start a price tug of war with them.
Editor Du of Yun Provincial Fine Arts Publishing House gave a buyout price, 60 words per thousand.
Mainland publishing is mainly shared, but when it comes to online novels with a huge number of words, there are also some publishers who follow the same level as their Taiwanese counterparts and take the buyout route, but they are not the mainstream.
Although the per capita reading rate in the mainland is not as good as that of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the penetration rate of genuine copies is not high, the market of 1.3 billion people is much larger, and 60 words per thousand words is not as good as the price given by Taiwan's publishing houses.
The second reply is the editor Chen of the Gui Provincial People's Publishing House, she gave a six-point sales share, 6% of the royalty income is very low for new publishers, but for online writers, it is already a great luck to be able to publish, many writers, especially new writers, have extremely low requirements for manuscript fees, as long as they can be published, mixed with the name of a writer, they can appropriately sacrifice some manuscript fees, so the publishing house is very expensive.
A simplified book. Usually the word count is less than 200,000 words, and the price is higher than 20 yuan, assuming 200,000 words. The price is 20 yuan, and the royalty share is 6%. The author of each book can get a piece of two, and only when the sales reach 10,000 copies, the income of this sharing method can be equal to the buyout price of 60 thousand words.
And the editor Chen of the Gui Provincial People's Publishing House gave a minimum of 10,000 copies of the guaranteed first printing, which means that this way of sharing will not be worse than 60 thousand words at worst, if the sales are good, there will be reprints, but there are almost few bestsellers with outstanding sales of online fantasy novels, and they are usually a one-shot deal. The guaranteed first print is usually the final sales, but after all, there is a silver lining, so it is stronger than the buyout of 1,000 words and 60.
In the end, Tong Yan received a reply from Editor Liu of the Northern Literature and Art Publishing House and Editor Du of the Baihuazhou Literature and Art Publishing House.
Northern Literature and Art gave a 7% royalty share, a commitment of 10,000 copies for the first printing, 7%, for a newcomer, and also an online fantasy writer, it is already a very preferential share ratio.
The conditions for the editing of Baihuazhou Du are 6 percent of the shares, and the first printing of 12,000 copies is guaranteed.
It's a very simple math problem, and 6 percent of 12,000 is of course a little higher than 7 percent of 10,000. But if the sales volume is more than 10,000, it is more cost-effective to have a high royalty ratio.
Tong Yan first crossed out the Yun Provincial Fine Arts Publishing House and the Gui Provincial People's Publishing House, and it was too stingy to make a move. Such a price may be somewhat attractive to newcomers who are not well-known, but Tong Yan Wuji already has a relatively large reputation on the Internet, and his books have also experienced the test of the traditional book market, and are deeply loved by readers, so naturally they cannot be sold lightly.
Tong Yan talked to the watermelon about the results of his talk, and the watermelon said that it was already very good, and a newcomer author like Tong Yan who was making an entity for the first time, even if it was the copyright department of the www.biquge.info of Biquge, it was impossible to reach 10%, and it would be quite good to have eight or nine. And it has to be divided into parts. 10% is only a treatment for famous writers, and some super-bestselling authors such as Han Sai, Guo Xiaosi and Jin Yong can exceed 10%. They were all cash cows for booksellers, and as soon as the printing press turned on, they poured in money.
In the end, Tong Yan still chose the Northern Literature and Art Publishing House, which gave a 7% royalty ratio. For the time being, it may lose some, but once the sales rise, it is better to divide it into high, this time the authorization is a few years, if you wait for a few years to become more famous, readers' demand for books under the name of Tong Yan Wuji will definitely increase, and it will definitely be reprinted at that time.
Tong Yan replied to the three one by one, and implicitly revealed that the price of other publishing houses is higher, after all, it is possible to cooperate in the future, basically thoughtful and polite, Gui Provincial People's Publishing House and Baihuazhou Literature and Art Publishing House both expressed their understanding, and looked forward to the next cooperation, only Yun Provincial Fine Arts Publishing House adjusted the price of 1,000 words to 80, Tong Yan hesitated, or refused, played enough of the buyout price of drought and flood protection, he wanted to try to sell more and earn more by strength to speak of the division method.
In the end, Tong Yan and Liu Hanfan of the Northern Literature and Art Publishing House reached a consensus, the next one is to draw up a contract, Liu Hanfan is very experienced in the simplified publishing of online fantasy novels, and soon passed the contract to Tong Yan, Tong Yan trusts watermelon very much, and only she can be trusted in this regard, so he let her look at the contract, Sister Gua said that there was a problem, and Tong Yan entered the signing procedure.
Because "Rage Thunder" itself is not involved in pornography or violence, it is completely within the scale of simplified publishing, and the changes that need to be made are very small, so Tong Yan's labor is also very small, and this part of the money is easy to earn, but if you want to get it, there is no traditional publishing profit, and you have to wait until the novel is actually put on sale, so at this stage, you can only wait.
Tong Yan said the good news in the book friend group and the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info respectively, and naturally ushered in a round of applause.
Smile a little sadly: When the book is out and say, I will definitely buy it and collect it!
Don't forget Tianfeng: I didn't say it earlier, I have already bought the traditional version, and it seems that I will have to collect another set.
Yan Mi: I wish a big book to sell well, super Han Sai, step on Guo Si!
Although the traditional version of "Rage Thunder" has been released, most of its readers are mainlanders, and there is no practical value at all in addition to the collection, but the simplified Chinese is different, you can really read it after you buy it, and you can read the story of Han Ting and the ball egg when you have nothing to do, and it is good to think about it, so the simplified Chinese can be loved by the majority of readers.
In the past, simplified publishing has always been the treatment only of great gods, such as Tang San's "Mad God", "The Kind Grim Reaper", Jing Guan's "Beast Blood Boiling", and the dancing "Face-Changing Samurai", and now Tong Yan Wuji has also published his own simplified physical book, which means that he has quietly ranked among the great gods.
There is also a manifestation of the status of the god is the monthly ticket list, this list was born more than a year ago, has become the most valuable list in the www.biquge.info of the Biqu Pavilion, "Blasphemy" has established its historical status by six monthly ticket champions, Tang Sanshao won the championship for the first time with "Only I am the only immortal", and began to change from the river raptor to the www.biquge.info pillar of the Biqu Pavilion, and the former chef writer Jingguan won the two-month ticket championship, and his "Beast Blood Boiling" also took over the "Blasphemy" that entered the end It has become the first popular novel in today's Biquge www.biquge.info.
Looking back on the five months since Tong Yan was put on the shelves, there have been three times in the top ten of the monthly ticket list, this month because although it is only 11th, it is also the beginning of the month that there are too few updates, and the start is too poor, so it is a pity to stop outside the top ten, but Tong Yan is very happy, because the dream of "Buddha is the Way" is the twelfth!
But even if he didn't enter the top ten in May, no one dared to underestimate him, he was only seventeen years old, his future potential was too great, his future was unlimited, and the monthly pass of about ten was already a status that many gods dreamed of.
However, Tong Yan was not satisfied, he was brewing a big move, there were still a few days before the college entrance examination, and a month later was the summer vacation, and Tong Yan had enough time to compete with those gods during the holidays.
June 7th and 8th is the time for the national unified college entrance examination, and there is still a week to go, Lao Song specially found Tong Yan and asked him to be good in the last few days, and never make any moths.
"Then what I did a few days ago is okay, right?" Tong Yan asked with a licking face.
"It's not good, I've been staying up late lately, I see you've been standing in the back of the classroom a lot lately." Lao Song glanced at Tong Yan, and was embarrassed to sarcastically mock his ball eyes.
"No, I went to bed on time at twelve o'clock, I just think it works well to listen to the lecture while standing." Tong Yan said casually, it is now the beginning of the month, Tong Yan has more updates, so he sleeps later, he hopes that he can return to the top ten in June, and when it comes to the summer vacation in July, he wants to hit the top five monthly passes and get the monthly pass bonus.
"I'm too lazy to care about you, in short, you have been doing more snacks to Rao Rao these days, don't look at her very lax, in fact, I know that she is also nervous, and she is also afraid that she will not be able to do well in the exam, and she will not be a good match for you when the time comes." It was the first time that Lao Song said such intimate words to Tong Yan.
Tong Yan immediately said: "Then I will do worse in the exam, then we will be a good match." "Although Tong Yan's current grades have regressed a little and he is always mixed in the second examination room, he is still much better than Song Rao, who is reluctant to enter the third examination room.
Lao Song scolded angrily: "Nonsense, if you dare to take the test badly, I will ......"
Lao Song was so angry that he almost blurted out "I won't let you be together", but fortunately he didn't say it, otherwise wouldn't it be a characterization of their current relationship.
"I'm not done with you, okay, you go back first." Lao Song waved his hand and asked Tong Yan to go back first.
"Mom, it's a holiday in a few days, well, it's the college entrance examination, we can't stay in school." Tong Yan just came back from home for half a month, in order to make room for the senior high school candidates, the school is going to give them a holiday again, Tong Yan has a place to settle in the city, and he can write more novels, he naturally doesn't want to go back, the most important reason is that he didn't tell his parents, because he promised Song Rao that when she finishes the college entrance examination, he will definitely invite her to sit down......
