Ye Junhua pulled Zhao Yiming to discuss the purchase of the copyright of "Gardenia Blossom". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As I said before, after his mother accepted Zhao Yiming as a student, there was not much suspense about this matter.

But it's not really a sure thing. The problem is on Ye Junhua's side. His problem boils down to just four words - shyness.

The budget for Ye Junhua's new movie theme song is only 200,000 Chinese dollars. This money not only includes the cost of buying music rights, but also the cost of inviting celebrities to sing.

The biggest singer doesn't have to think about it, the price of people starts at least 500,000 yuan. If you have a good relationship with others, as long as you maintain your value, you can say 500,000 yuan on the surface, and give 200,000 or 300,000 yuan in private or even for free. The same is true for second- and third-tier singers.

Ye Junhua plans to invite a second-tier star who is familiar with him to sing this song. The market price of second-tier singers is generally 300,000 Chinese dollars. The other party gave him face, and only 150,000 in private. In this way, he only has a budget of 50,000 yuan if he wants to buy Zhao Yiming's song.

But obviously, Zhao Yiming's songs must be more than this price.

This is not nonsense.

"Gardenia Blossom" has been downloaded more than 20,000 times online. More than 20,000 downloads means more than 20,000 Chinese dollars in revenue. Because the revenue should be split in half with the website, plus miscellaneous fees and taxes. "Gardenia Blossom" has actually brought Zhao Yiming an income of 10,000 yuan. The money would be in his bank account on the last day of August - the same bank card in his mother's name.

After returning from Tanzhou, Cool Music Network contacted Zhao Yiming again, and they wanted to buy the song. The acquisition offer given to Zhao Yiming by Enough Music Network is 70,000 Chinese yuan. But because they want all the rights and interests, all that is left for Zhao Yiming is the right of signature. In other words, after Zhao Yiming sold the song to them, except that the lyrics and composer of the song were his name, the song had nothing to do with him. Zhao Yiming did not agree.

And what convinces Ye Junhua the most is his mother Shen Pinghe's evaluation. This song can be sold for at least 100,000 Chinese dollars. If it is packaged better and makes some fame, it shouldn't be a problem for the whole song to sell hundreds of thousands.

Therefore, Ye Junhua's price of 50,000 yuan is really unspeakable.

However, no matter how difficult it is to say this, I have to say it, how can I know if I don't try it, and now I still have my mother's face, this hope is actually not slim.

Listen to Ye Junhua explain his intentions. Zhao Yiming finally came to his senses.

Sure enough, there is neither hate for no reason nor love for no reason in this world. No wonder this Ye Dao is so enthusiastic about himself, it turns out that he is waiting for me here.

sighed a little that the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

Zhao Yiming immediately agreed, without hesitation, and did not drag his feet at all.

This made Ye Junhua, who was still apprehensive before, overjoyed. He didn't even react for a while, and he was going to persuade him bitterly. When these words came to his lips, he found that Zhao Yiming actually agreed.

"Refreshing! Yiming, uncle really didn't misunderstand you! ”

After a pause, swallowing the original intention of persuasion, Ye Junhua patted Zhao Yiming's shoulder and praised it.

How did he know that Zhao Yiming was worried about this song.

"Gardenia Bloom" is obviously a good song, and Zhao Yiming also hoped that this song could bring him hundreds of thousands of benefits. But the reality is so cruel.

Everyone knows that if a work wants to be popular, in addition to good quality, this packaging and publicity are also essential. For example, his fairy tales and novels can be so popular. In addition to the excellent quality of the works, the Juvenile Weekly Magazine also spent a lot of publicity money. But in the music industry, he didn't meet another Lu Zecheng. Therefore, because he is an unknown newcomer, his "Gardenia Blossom" was also buried.

It's not that there are no illiterate people, and Cool Music Network is very optimistic about this song. But they are planning to swallow this piece of fat for themselves. The harsh conditions put forward made Zhao Yiming not even interested in replying.

Do you want "Gardenia Bloom" to be buried like this? Zhao Yiming was also muttering in his heart.

Now I meet Ye Junhua this opportunity. can not only earn a sum of Chinese dollars, but also increase the popularity of "Gardenia Blossom" to a higher level. Why wouldn't Zhao Yiming do it.

made up his mind, Zhao Yiming did not pretend anymore. If Ye Junhua wanted today's "Fairy Tale", he would definitely think about it carefully and not be busy agreeing. But "Gardenia Blooms", this has been troublesome for more than a month, and I really don't have the heart to take Joe anymore.

sent away Ye Junhua, who was happy. Zhao Yiming planned to go and get close to the teacher and Ning Muxiang. Mr. Shen must be coaxed, which is related to his future money in the music industry. And Ning Muxiang, everyone will be brothers and sisters in the future. This relationship can be pure or ambiguous, how can it not make people associate a little.

Besides, even if you don't talk about what you think of her. Talking and laughing with a pleasing idol beautiful girl is much more cheerful than accompanying an uncle in his thirties and an uncle in his fifties.

Thinking so, he raised his feet and walked in the direction of Ning Muxiang, who was talking to Shen Pinghe.

However, after taking a few steps, someone stopped his way. If you look closely, who else can there be? Of course, it is the editor-in-chief of Xia University.

After the apprenticeship just now, Xia Anping wanted to talk to Zhao Yiming about the new book, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Ye Junhua. People are also talking about serious things, and he can only wait patiently.

Fortunately, the two of them talked about things smoothly and didn't take much time.

"Yiming, let's talk." Xia Anping smiled all over his face, stopped in front of Zhao Yiming and said.

Let's talk. Your old man is standing in front of me, can I say no? Zhao Yiming glanced in the direction of Ning Muxiang with black lines on his head, and sighed softly.

Although this sigh was slight and imperceptible, it was still discovered by Xia Anping, but he just didn't see it.

"Yiming, you see that this "Phantom City" can only be serialized until October. When are you going to start writing this new book? ”

This old man has already decided Zhao Yiming's new book.

"Editor-in-Chief Xia." Zhao Yiming just spoke.

"Call grandpa, I can afford this generation. Let's not be so polite. ”

Zhao Yiming called out and was interrupted by Xia Anping to correct it.

"Okay, Grandpa Xia. However, we are on business, and I'm thinking about whether it's time to renegotiate with you about the manuscript fee. ”

Zhao Yiming said.

"Oh, what do you think?" Xia Anping was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Let's be honest, Grandpa Xia. I think my remuneration is a little bit low. I remember you made more than 6 million this week. What about me? The remuneration for the whole book is only more than 40,000 yuan. ”

"Huh." This time it was Xia Anping's turn to smile bitterly.

The remuneration for this magazine is not the remuneration for publishing a book. It can only be settled in thousands of words, not in percentages. It is impossible for a magazine to have the work of just one person. For example, "Shonen Weekly" not only publishes novels, but also poems and comics. Even if the sales increase is due to your novel, there is no specific quantitative standard for this reason, and it cannot be calculated at all. Moreover, it seems that it has always been a rule in the industry for magazines to calculate remuneration according to the number of yuan per thousand words.

Of course, Zhao Yiming knew that he wanted Xiao Si to publish a novel in a magazine for only 80 yuan per thousand words, and it was much better for him to have this 1,000-word 300 treatment. He just wanted to cheat and see if Old Man Xia could improve his treatment. By the way, I also reported that he stopped himself from accosting a beautiful woman.

"Yiming. The remuneration of 300 words is the highest treatment we can offer. Our "Juvenile Weekly" can only barely be regarded as a domestic first-line brand magazine. But we're still a long way from the top magazines, which sell five or six million copies a week. Without that sales, the board of directors of the magazine would not have agreed to pay a fee of 800 words or even 1 yuan per word like a top magazine. ”

Xia Anping frowned and explained why.

Not relenting at all? This made Zhao Yiming a little disappointed. His disappointment didn't last long, though. Xia Anping changed his words and talked about another topic: "Then again, Yiming. This opportunity to make a lot of money is not out of the question. It's just going to be delayed for a while. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhao Yiming was interested.

"If you want to improve your salary, you can't think of too many ways to do it. Even if we give you 600 words per thousand, which is close to the treatment of a top magazine, your "Phantom City" will only get a salary of less than 100,000 yuan. Therefore, if you want to make a lot of money, you still have to take the road of publishing. ”

"Publishing?"

"Yes, publishing. On your terms. After the publication of "Phantom City", I can persuade the board of directors to give you 10% of the agreed royalties. In this way, if a book is priced at 20 yuan, if you sell 50,000 copies, you will get 100,000 Chinese dollars. That's the big money. ”

Xia Ping'an became temptation and deception as he spoke.

Truth be told, this publication didn't happen overnight. Not to mention the tedious things like reformatting, proofreading, reviewing, and designing covers and illustrations. It takes months to build momentum before publication. When everything goes well, it will take a long time for the publication to reach the expected sales.

In fact, even if you start preparing now, it is estimated that the publication of "Phantom City" will be at the end of the year. Old Xia Tou is purely fooling Zhao Yiming. Of course, it's not right to say that he is fooling, after all, he has plans to publish "Phantom City", but he has to wait for a long time.

"12%, Grandpa Xia. If you agree with this number, we can talk about the new book. This time, Zhao Yiming was finally fooled, and he put forward his own conditions. He remembered that the average publishing house only gave 8% to the author, and when Xia Anping agreed to 10% so quickly, he raised the offer a little more.

"This, it's difficult." Xia Anping said in embarrassment: "I'll go back and try it for you at the board meeting." ”

"That's good, Grandpa Xia. When you get it for me, I'll publish a new book. It seems that there is a play, Zhao Yiming, who was happy in his heart, hurriedly said. At the same time, I am glad that I can finally get rid of this old man.

"Okay." Xia Anping readily agreed. In fact, his heart was already happy. Because he doesn't need to ask any board of directors at all. He has the right to agree to the author's agreed royalties of up to 15% for the publication of the book. Zhao Yiming lost to the old fox in this aspect after all.
