Chapter 39 Conclusion of Contract
Fang Yun's friend application was sent, but he didn't get a reply for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The submission requirements for online novels are generally 30,000 words of text plus an outline.
Fang Yun opened the novel that he had transferred to the computer last night, and directly copied the content of the first ten chapters into a new document, and the 30,000-word text was done, which was not too easy.
He was too lazy to think about the name of the protagonist, and the whole "Fang Yun" was not changed, anyway, this is not an official release, and it is not too late to modify it when it is released, and the same is true for the chapter name, and it is not necessary to sign a contract. Add the title of the book and the pen name, and you don't need to write a brief introduction, but you have to get an outline, and you can organize it according to the existing 600,000 words, and it will be done in a while.
After sorting out this document, the friend application has not been approved. Perhaps the editor in charge was a little busy, Fang Yun added a few more times but was unsuccessful, and first sent the 30,000-word text and novel outline to his mailbox.
When I went back to the group and asked, there were several people who were in the same situation, and they couldn't pass after adding it many times in a row. Someone even received a short post from the author's background three days ago, and he has not been able to contact the editor in charge until now, but the contracted editor has also been contacted, and the author sent a screenshot of his mobile phone, showing the QQ signature of the contracted editor--I asked why I couldn't add the editor-in-charge.
It seems that this is not his own personal reason, he is really afraid that he will be blacklisted by the editor because he has two books in a row with eunuchs. Let go of the worries in his heart, Fang Yun can do whatever he wants, even if he can't sign it in advance, he will send the book as usual two days later, and the result will be the same.
Generally speaking, it is better to sign a contract as early as possible to arrange a recommendation position, which has some advantages in the early stage. But Fang Yun is very confident in his work and is not worried about the results of his work at all.
The last two roommates of the past two days also arrived, and the six of them got together outside the school to welcome the new semester.
And the editor of the starting point was indeed too busy to bother with the friend application for a while.
Over the weekend, after replying to the inquiries of many authors, and after screening the people who applied to add themselves as friends, the editor in charge of the fantasy group opened the mailbox and began to process the submissions received in the past two days.
Some are new books that old authors prepare when the old books are about to end, and they want to wait until the old books are finished to be released, so as to keep more readers.
The approval rate of these people's submissions is relatively high, and they either sign a share or sign a buyout, and it is easier to deal with the way chasing.
Others are newcomers, which is a bit of a hassle, and chasing the road requires more time to review its value, and the progress is slow. Many people write for the first time and do not understand some of the routines that have recently formed in the online literature circle, and the works seem a little immature in the eyes of editors.
There is a way to write a routine article, and what the innovative article focuses on is something else, and there are a lot of doorways in it, and reviewing the text is a very brain-consuming thing.
After working for a while, I took the cup on the table, took two sips of water, and rested on the back of the chair for a few minutes, then got back to work and clicked on the next email.
"Peerless Sect Master?"
At the first glance of the title of the book, I judged that this was a routine text.
Fantasy themes, most of them are now following the routine, and there are occasional innovative articles, which can be seen from the title of the book.
Compared with innovative essays, it is undoubtedly more difficult to write a good routine essay.
As long as the creative writing is good enough and novel enough, it can attract people, and even if the pen is a little weaker, it can gain a large number of readers. The routine essay tests the author's grasp of the plot, rhythm and rationality of the story.
Both genres have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not easy to determine which one has a higher chance. Chasing the road glanced at the author's name, and seemed to have some impressions, it might be an old author who hit the street.
I didn't think too much about chasing the road and started reading the text.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can't stop at all.
The first 30,000 words didn't talk about too many things, Fang Yun stayed in Sweet Potato Village most of the time, during which he went into the mountains to pick herbs once, harvested two lewd snake fruits, had a few brief contacts with the people in the village and Baishui Town, and several interesting things happened.
is only 30,000 words, and the story comes to an abrupt end when the protagonist and Chen Tian go to Qingyun City together.
After reading ten chapters, the pursuit of the road is still unfinished.
The novel is very well written, with new ideas written in fantasy routines, and a mysterious world slowly unfolds in the eyes of readers, which is fascinating.
Signed, must be signed! Such a good work cannot be let go of your own hands.
Finding Fang Yun's contact information, Chasing Lu was about to notify the editor in charge of signing the contract, when he suddenly had a new idea.
If the text in the back also has the same pen power of these 30,000 words, it would be difficult for this book to become popular. A book that is destined to be popular, it is certain to sign it, but how to sign it, what kind of treaty to sign is worth thinking about.
Chasing the road did not rush to notify the contracted editor snail and find the editor-in-chief.
"Editor-in-chief, take a look at the 30,000 words I sent you, I think this book will be a hit, do you sign a buyout contract?"
"New or old?" The editor-in-chief asked.
"It seems to be a newcomer, but the pen is very good, and it may be that the old authors of other groups have changed their styles and vests, and I'll check it later." The road is a little uncertain, "Dongyue Taihao"? I always feel like I've heard of it somewhere.
Editor-in-Chief: "Don't rush to conclusions, wait for me to see." ”
The editor-in-chief opened the document, quickly skimmed through the text, nodded his head twice from time to time, and made a sound of "um", "huh", and "ou".
After reading most of the book, the editor-in-chief turned to the beginning of the novel, and slowly started from the beginning, amazed.
One moment he sat up straight, the other he bent over and read carefully, and it took him a while to finish it.
"It's very well written, and his choice of words and sentences is obviously well-thought-out and perfect." Leaning back in the chair, the editor-in-chief commented on Fang Yun's novel: "Of course, the shortcomings of this novel are also obvious, the plot is a bit old-fashioned, and it is still at the level that the protagonist must have adventures when he goes into the mountains to collect medicine, and there is always a nobleman to help him when he encounters problems." ”
The fact is indeed as the editor-in-chief said, Fang Yun's life in Sweet Potato Village does not have too many highlights, although the little guy tries his best to cover it up with words, and writes about boring things vividly with witty and humorous language, but it still can't hide the fact that Fang Yun's performance in this sweet potato village is not outstanding.
"Editor-in-chief, this ......" still wants to argue about it.
The editor-in-chief interrupted him: "I know what you want to say, this novel is suitable for a buyout agreement. Considering that the author's writing is very good, I can buy it out at the most 200 yuan for 1,000 words. ”
"Two hundred dollars!" Chasing the road made a startled sound. Although he was also very optimistic about this novel and highly recommended it to the editor-in-chief, he thought it would be good to have a thousand words and 100 yuan, but he didn't expect the editor-in-chief to open his mouth for 200 yuan per thousand words.
"You, your experience is still a little lacking, and you still have to practice your vision." The editor-in-chief smiled: "It's not expensive to buy out this novel for two hundred words, you go and talk to the author, you must talk about it." After signing the buyout agreement, you can guide him more in writing routines and provide him with some good bridges, and it will be difficult for this book to become popular. ”
"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Xie." Chasing the road thanks to the editor-in-chief for his support, 200 yuan per thousand words will definitely be able to win the author, and this advantageous resource will be his own.
As a responsible editor, only with excellent works can you stabilize your position and improve the rewards you can receive.
In their minds, this matter is nine times safe.
It stands to reason that this matter will be agreed to by any new author, but they met Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was surprised to receive a message from the editor-in-charge of the Fantasy Group, who wanted to negotiate a buyout price with him, this was the first time that his work had received so much attention.
The other party directly started from 10000 words, increased to 12, 15, 18, 200 per 1,000 words, and finally raised the price to 250 yuan per 1,000 words.
Faced with this number, Fang Yun was also very tempted, 1,000 words 25, 600,000 words is 150,000 yuan.
150,000, more than a little more, a lot of money for a student who is still in school, but compared to Fang Yun's six-year efforts to travel to the Divine Continent, it is not worth mentioning.
It doesn't matter if there is more money or less money, 150,000 is enough for him to be satisfied, this is just an add-on. What he really wants is an exchange point, and what is money compared to an exchange point? Paper!
After signing the buyout agreement, in addition to paying a fixed amount of money to himself, all the income generated by the work belongs to the starting point. When it comes to their own profits, the editor will definitely take good care of the novel "Peerless Sect Master", and all kinds of high-quality recommendation slots are waiting in line.
Agree to the condition of chasing the road, the novel will be paid attention to by more people, and you will be able to get more exchange points, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
However, Fang Yun couldn't agree to an additional condition proposed by Chalu, the novel is his own, but he can't change it if he wants to, this power is in the hands of the little guy.
The good bridge sections and routines proposed by chasing the road cannot be added to it at all.
Half an hour later, the dry chase gave up.
"Editor-in-chief, the matter has not been negotiated." Walking into the editor-in-chief's office, he lowered his head in frustration.
"Didn't say yes?" The editor-in-chief asked, "I didn't agree to two hundred words?" ”
"I don't agree." Chailu nodded helplessly, and didn't dare to mention to the editor-in-chief that he had failed to negotiate by raising the price to 2500 words without permission.
"If you don't say yes, you don't say yes." Listening to the editor-in-chief's tone, he didn't seem to be too disappointed, and handed a piece of paper printed out on the table to Chase Lu and said: "Dongyue Taihao, the contracted author, has a record of eunuchs twice before. ”
"The counterattack of the fairy stone dust and the puppet army?"
"Oh." Chasing Lu suddenly realized, and said in a lengthened voice: "I remember, the counterattack of the puppet army, Lao Huang of the military group mentioned him when he chatted with me, and the results of that book are very good, especially in military themes, which are very prominent." ”
"It's not too surprising that you didn't negotiate, some people really can't understand it." The editor-in-chief instructed to chase the road: "Let go of your heart and sign a sharing agreement with him, and he is still under you?" ”
Chasing Lu nodded and asked the editor-in-chief: "How to arrange the recommendation position?" He's not going to break it again before it's put on the shelves. ”
The editor-in-chief thought for a while: "Deal with it as usual, just don't know about his broken change, give more recommendations if you have good grades, and give less if you don't have good grades." ”
"Okay, I'll get back to him."
The editor-in-chief didn't pay attention to it anymore and continued with his own business.
Some people are too idealistic and will not regret not suffering some losses.
In the next novel, he will definitely beg to sign a sharing agreement.
……
Fang Yun negotiated with Chasing Lu and contacted the contracted editor Snail.
The title of the book is already there, and the protagonist is named Wang Xuan, who thinks at will, it has no special meaning, just a code name.
Simple introduction: The rise of the traverser follows the trend and does not go against the sky. Xuanzhi, Xuanshi, Xuanling, Xuanwang, see how he grew from a young man in a mountain village to the head of a sect.
After handling the contract, Fang Yun waited for the release of the novel as soon as it was over tonight.
