"Fiction, it's not true." Yu Yan smiled.

"Then some people will say that you are psychologically dark, so you write this kind of novel." Liao Wei still doesn't want to give up persuading the high school student in front of him to write a rebellious type of article against the education system, after all, this type of thing is a big sell.

"Isn't it better to say," Yu Yan said, "don't you think this article can be picky?" I wish someone had said that. ”

"Pick up your saliva?" Liao Wei thought about it, it was indeed a saliva, "But the authenticity of this article will be greatly reduced if it is placed in the collection, and there is not much saliva that can be picked......"

"Then change all the other first-person characters or change them to the third person, and keep only this one copy of the first-person ones." Yu Yan has long had this thought.

Liao Wei lowered his head and thought for a while: "I really suggest that you write something that rebels against traditional education. ”

"I really can't write!" Yu Yan looked sincere, I really can't remember, I haven't read this kind of article in my previous life, how can I write it? And Yu Yan didn't want to write, after this period of time of research on the literary aspects of this world, he had almost figured out the path he should take.

The literary world of this world is so traditional, it is calling for a genius! Who better to embark on this path of genius than me? Who better to break these traditions than me?

No! Absolutely not! The rebellion against the current education system seems too small to be mentioned.

Liao Wei looked at Yu Yan's appearance and knew that this matter was probably not negotiable, and now he had a thought in his heart, it's a pity, it's a pity, and thought about it: "Then if you have to do this, I can't give you so much in terms of remuneration." ”

"How much?"

"What is the expected word count for this collection?"

"Feel free to do it, I can do it." Yu Yan thought to himself, there are more works in my head.

Liao Wei raised his eyebrows, okay? So powerful? "That's the level?"

"Well, you'll see it anyway." Yu Yan said.

"Hmm...... Then I can give you eighty thousand words, which is already very high. Liao Wei said, the level of this article is indeed high, but whether it can be sold or not to make money He really has no bottom in his heart, and it depends on Yu Yan's potential to give 1,000 words and 80 words.

After the words 80 words came out, Yu Yan shook his head with a smile, in fact, 800 words is not low, it is usually only 30 to 60 words for newcomers, and there is no way to do it if the traditional publishing industry is so sluggish, and newcomers have no status in front of the publishing house.

However, it is impossible for Yu Yan to agree with the standard of 80 words in 1,000 words, and it is not a matter of money.

Mr. Lu Xun's "Kong Yiji" is only more than 2,600 words, and it is only 200 yuan by the standard of 80 words per 1,000 words.

Mr. Lu Xun was one of his favorite writers in his previous life, and he couldn't let the immortal masterpiece of one of his favorite writers be sold for two hundred yuan......

Looking at Yu Yan and shaking his head, Liao Wei was not surprised, high school students usually don't know the remuneration standards of the traditional publishing industry, which is normal: "Eighty words per thousand words is definitely not low, if you don't believe it, you can talk to other publishing houses." Liao Wei believes that there will be no publisher that will pay more than his own, and if it is a rebellion against the education system, then of course he is willing to pay a higher salary.

"I know," Yu Yan nodded, "It's not usually thirty to sixty words." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I want to share."

"Divided?" Liao Wei frowned, this is the treatment that only more famous writers have, and usually the publishing house does not like to give sharing contracts too much.

The traditional publishing industry is different from the online article, and the contracted authors of the online article basically sign the sharing contract, because the online article only needs one website, and the remaining cost is almost zero.

"If you divide it......" Liao Wei frowned and wanted to give how much share, 7%? Will this high school student agree? Or is he so confident? A 100,000-word novel can get 8,000 yuan for 80,000 yuan in 1,000 words, and how many copies do you have to sell for 7% to have 8,000 yuan?

"The usual share is 7% or 8%, right?"

Liao Wei nodded, but he didn't expect this high school student to really know a little bit about these things: "How much do you want?" ”

"How many copies do you sell?" Yu Yan didn't say it directly, but asked first.

"About 3,000 copies, what's wrong?" Liao Wei said that those rich people who publish at their own expense usually buy 3,000 copies at once, and then the publishing house sells one and makes money for one copy, which is the best of both worlds.

"Well, if it sells less than 3,000 copies, I don't want a penny, and I want 7% for the part above 3,000 copies, isn't it too much?" Yu Yan already has a plan for this, and he will participate in the Chinese roar voice after a while, will this collection sell less with the help of that platform?

Originally, Yu Yan was not too sure how much money he could make in his first work, but since The Voice was about to appear as a king, he also had a little ambition.

Liao Wei was stunned when he heard this, if the newcomer author wants to share, it is true that he usually gets a share when he reaches a certain number of sales, but it is rarely 3000, after thinking about it, Liao Wei is a little embarrassed: "Don't use 3000, I'll lower it for you." ”

"There's no need, it's really not much fun to drop a few hundred or thousand." Yu Yan said that he can't read hundreds or thousands of copies, and his expectations for this book must be at least 30,000 to be a bestseller!

Liao Wei was stunned for a moment and then smiled, he didn't expect the kid in front of him to be so confident: "Okay, let's make an appointment again, I'll get the contract, and you give me all the drafts." ”

"Okay, I have a small request."

"What?"

"I hope this collection will be published soon."

"As soon as possible? How fast? Liao Wei understands this mood very well, everyone wants to publish their works early and make money as soon as possible, and the high school student in front of him may be able to show off among his classmates with this.

"In two months."

"Try your best." Liao Wei smiled.

"Don't try your best, it's also good for you," Yu Yan said, the publishing house really took this matter seriously and did it for two months is definitely more than enough, "I should participate in a certain talent show next month, publish it earlier, the popularity is still there, and the sales will be better." ”

There are not a few issues in the blind audition stage of The Voice of China, if you don't have an accident, it's either next month or next month, and the essay collection will be published a little earlier and you can still get a glimpse of the light of this show, and the heat will pass when it's late, of course, if you can get into the finals or something, that's another story.
