New Era Book Publishing House, President's Office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Can't find the contact information of the mysterious anchor? His novel has become popular in the broadcasting industry, and if we can sign the copyright of the novel, we will send it! Publishing one of his books tops our income for a year, don't you understand? ”

"I understand, but this person is really hard to find, probably only the people from major radio stations and radio and television know who he is now, but they all regard this matter as a family scandal and refuse to publicize it, I asked everywhere, but I didn't tell us." The editor-in-chief at the bottom replied.

"If it's not easy to find, you have to look for it, don't you have classmates in radio and television, invite him to a meal, send some tea and water, and inquire."

"Yes, I already made an appointment with him at noon."

"By the way, did the storyteller in the park on the website video find it? His Journey to the West is also a strange book, so you must sign it! ”

"This person looks like the sand artist reported in the new days, but the video is not very clear, and I can't be sure, but I have been asking people everywhere in the park in the past few days, and I already know that he lives in the happy community, and it is not clear where he is."

"Send someone to squat at the gate of the happy community!"

"I'll go in person, so it's more sincere." The editor-in-chief patted his chest.

"Okay, I'll rest assured that you can do something."

At noon, in the box of a high-end restaurant, the editor-in-chief and his classmates sat opposite each other, the cups came and went, and after three rounds of drinking, the editor-in-chief asked his classmates for information, "Lao Zhou, what is going on with the mysterious radio station this time?" ”

The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, and it is not a big secret in radio and television, the classmate of the editor-in-chief said: "It was our clerk who made a mistake, a private person came to apply for a private radio station at the provincial level, and we actually gave it approval, and then you also know what happened, that person overturned all the radio stations in the province, and it was called a cow." ”

"What's that man's name? Do you have contact information? ”

"This..."

"Lao Zhou, we used to have a good relationship, you have to pull your brother, and if you can't complete the task, you will be fired by the boss." The editor-in-chief stuffed an envelope over.

His classmate understood, "This person's name is Wang Ling, I'll check it for you when I get back to the contact number." ”

"Okay, buddy, it's all up to you, come, do it."

Full of wine and food, the criminal editor-in-chief sent away his classmates and went straight to the happy community. When I got there, I found a small shop at the entrance of the community to guard it.

I didn't see anyone for a whole afternoon, but the editor-in-chief was still very persevering, staring at every man who entered and left the community under the big sun.

Wang Ling, who was depressed, slept at home for a day, and Yiyi didn't come today, so he didn't have to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, but the cigarette was gone, so he could only go out to the store to buy it.

When I arrived at the small shop at the entrance of the community, I asked the boss to take two packs of cigarettes, but I found that a middle-aged uncle was staring at him, and he was creepy, and I thought to myself, this can't be a pervert, is it to see that I am handsome and ready to pursue me? Or do you want to find a place where no one is trying to do anything wrong to me?

Oh no, he's coming, don't come over! Brother doesn't do it!

"Excuse me, are you~"

"I'm not!!"

"You're not? I'm not done yet!"

"Whether you ask or not, I'm not!"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I'm the editor-in-chief of New Era Book Publishing House, my name is Xing Yusheng, and this is my business card." The editor-in-chief handed over his business card.

"Editor-in-chief of the publishing house? Looking for me? Wang Ling took a look, he was really an editor-in-chief, but there were many people who printed fake business cards these days, and the ghost knows if you are real!

"May I ask if you are the teacher who said Journey to the West in the park some time ago?"

"Oh, yes, it's me, it's really looking for me!"

"Sure enough, it's you, I'm so hard to find you!"

"What's the matter with me?" It doesn't look like a liar.

"Of course, it's for the publication of Journey to the West."

"Publishing? That's a good thing! But this is not the place to talk, editor-in-chief, come and sit at my house! "Since the broadcast channel is not working for the time being, it is better to change the method and publish it is also a good choice. Thinking of this, Wang Ling warmly invited the old criminal.

"Okay, good, but I can't go to your house empty-handed for the first time, I'll buy something." As he spoke, he went to the store and bought two Great China. Like the China of the original world, Greater China is also a high-end cigarette, which is only more expensive than China.

"Drink! You're welcome, I haven't smoked Great China yet, I usually smoke a pack of seven dollars a little white wolf. Wang Ling was also a little embarrassed when he saw someone giving him a gift, but it was not good to save other people's face.

Wang Ling took the editor-in-chief home and poured a glass of water, "I'm sorry, there is no tea and coffee at home." ”

"It's okay, it's okay to drink water."

"Is your publishing house really going to publish my book?"

"Then can there be a fake? We are sincere. ”

"That's good, but Journey to the West is currently only audio, I can translate it into two versions, ancient Chinese and vernacular, which one do you want?" The ancient version of Journey to the West can be redeemed, and the vernacular can only be translated by himself.

"Of course you have both, all of you!"

"There is a ready-made book on the Legend of the Condor Heroes, do you want to publish it?"

"What!! The Legend of the Condor Heroes has a book, and the copyright is yours? ”

"Of course it's mine!"

"So you're the anchor of the mysterious station?"

"It's me."

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and you have to waste all your effort! The editor-in-chief of the criminal department was ecstatic, this time it was developed!

"Good! We want it! Sign the contract now! ”

"What's the hurry, the conditions haven't been discussed yet!"

"Yes, yes, your journey to the west is a book, although it is not famous, but we will help you promote it, if you know that this is the book of the author of the Condor Archery, then you are not crazy, not to mention the Condor Shooting, the popularity is not to be said. We plan to make a hardcover version of the Journey to the West ancient version, with a first printing of 500,000 sets, a vernacular version of 1.5 million sets, and a first printing of 3 million sets of Condor shooting, and the royalties will be given to you according to the highest royalties of the most famous writers now, and we will sign with you according to sales, 20%, what do you think? ”

"Okay, I don't know how to do it, you say the highest is the highest, but I only sell text publishing rights, not film and television adaptation rights."

"Of course, don't worry, we are a publishing house, we only publish books, not TV series."

Wang Ling calculated in his heart, a total of 5 million sets, if a set is calculated at 50 yuan, it is 250 million, and 20% will be sold out, that is, 50 million, this time it will be released, I knew that I would broadcast it widely, but if it is not broadcast, people will not come to the door, and if it is not broadcast, it is impossible to sell so much.

"What about your other books?"

"You mean the Condor Heroes?"

"Not only that, didn't you say on the radio that day that there are a lot of other martial arts novels?"

"The Condor Trilogy can be signed with you, and the others will wait a little longer, these books also have to pass the test of the market, aren't they, if they hit the street, and you print so much, isn't it a big loss?"

"That's what you said, but don't worry, as long as other books have the level of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, you can't guarantee it." The editor-in-chief of the criminal department knows that his publishing house has limited funds, and he can't eat so many books at once, and Wang Ling is also accumulating chips, and it is possible to increase the price when the results are obtained. He didn't force it, and today's harvest was already very big.

The efficiency of the criminal editor-in-chief is very high, a phone call back, the New Era Publishing House immediately took action, the president personally went out, the contract was sent over immediately, the two sides signed, the president proposed to invite dinner, Wang Ling is a foodie, immediately agreed, and brought Xiaoqiang father and son.

Both sides were very satisfied with today's negotiations, and the publishing house got the book of the Condor Trilogy, and worked overtime overnight to contact all parties, and the propaganda and printing of the printing did not talk about it.

Speaking of Wang Ling alone, as soon as he thought about it, his identity was about to be exposed, and after thinking about it, he decided to contact Lin Xi and wanted to give her a scoop.

contacted Lin Xi by phone and told her that she was the author of Journey to the West and the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and that a publishing house had already found her, and the physical version of the book was about to be released.

Lin Xi was also very surprised when he received the call, shouting that you are so talented, not only can you draw well, but also write books, and you can also be a broadcast host, no wonder at the banquet that day, everyone listened to it with relish, but you were eating and drinking, and you are the author.

Lin Xi immediately called the leader of his company: "Hey, Editor-in-Chief Qian, I'm Lin Xi, I found the author of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, you immediately press tomorrow's headlines, right, and then disclose the news to other media to know, online media, traditional media, yes, we don't want exclusive, we want to help the author build momentum, don't worry about the rest, I will go and explain to the above." ”

Lin Xi didn't want to be exclusive, she also worked hard for Wang Ling, and she also arranged her work in a commanding tone, she didn't look like a newly graduated intern at all, what kind of identity was she?

The next day, in one of the largest publishing houses in Beijing, their executive editor-in-chief was having a very happy conversation with a writer, "Mr. Guo, we have absolute confidence in your book, the first 500,000 copies, you will never go wrong in publishing in our publishing house, and the royalties are still the same." ”

"Wouldn't 500,000 copies be too little? This is my latest surrealist country book, and it's definitely much better than my last one. ”

"I know, I understand, but now the market for fiction books is relatively sluggish, there are many writers who have been affected by the impact of the Condor Heroes on the radio, and now they are all going to write martial arts novels, I think as soon as the second half of the year, at the latest next year, there will be a lot of martial arts-themed novels, your 500,000 copies are distributed nationwide, which is not small for the current market, and it is necessary to catch up with the emergence of martial arts novels, you see, why don't you write martial arts in your next book?"

"What martial arts, it's all made up, I don't write such books!"

"Okay, don't be angry, we are still very optimistic about this book, otherwise we wouldn't have sent out 500,000 copies, you say yes." The editor-in-chief hurried to appease Writer Guo.

"Editor-in-chief, something is wrong!" A staff member rushed in.

"What's a big deal, it's rough, it's calm."

"The author of the Legend of the Condor Heroes has been found."

"That's good, contact him quickly."

"But he has signed a contract with the new era, and now all major media are reporting it, and today's newspaper is also out, haven't you seen it?"

"What? Signed up with someone else? ”

"yes, they released three books, a total of 5 million copies!"

The editor-in-chief almost fainted when he heard this.
