Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, looked at Hu Yifei hesitantly, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't heard that you have a relationship in this regard?" ”

"Underestimating people, isn't it?" Hu Yifei smiled: "I studied at Renmin University for my bachelor's degree and master's degree, and now I am working as an ideological and political counselor there, and I know more people." Renmin University Press, I can get in touch with you. ”

Renmin University Press? This feeling is good! Zeng Xiaoxian smiled and nodded: "Okay!" ”

If you contact the publisher yourself, you can save 20% of the starting point, so why not?

"Go, come with me to meet my editor and the people from the publishing house he brought!" Zeng Xiaoxian stretched out his hand and pulled Hu Yifei, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go negotiate with them, listen to the offer they gave us, and then look at the offer given by the Renmin University Press." ”

The two of them came to the agreed meeting place, and in a hotel private room, Zeng Xiaoxian met three people.

The leader is a man with eyes, who looks slightly fat, and has a very quiet feeling. always had a three-point smile on his face, and when he saw Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Is this Zeng Xiaoxian?" I'm Bhan Khan! ”

"Hello!" Zeng Xiaoxian shook hands with Bo Khan, and then introduced him with a smile: "Hu Yifei, come with me!" ”

Zeng Xiaoxian's introduction was vague, but Bohan handed him an understanding look, obviously thinking that Hu Yifei was Zeng Xiaoxian's girlfriend. After all, this is a matter involving money, if it wasn't for Zeng Xiaoxian's close people, how could he bring it here?

After Bo Khan and Hu Yifei greeted each other, he pulled Zeng Xiaoxian and introduced to the other two people: "This is Zhou Quan, the editor of **********, and this is Feng Yu, the editor of Feixiang Publishing House!" He pointed at Zeng Xiaoxian: "This is Zeng Xiaoxian, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". ”

After greeting each other, they sat down, and then Bohan spoke: "Let's meet today, just for preliminary discussions. ”

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, looked at Bohan and said, "Okay, I'll listen to your conditions, after all, I'm just entering this industry, and I don't know much about it." ”

Bohan glanced at the editors of the two publishing houses, and was a little helpless, in fact, in the website and the publishing house, for what level of authors, what kind of treatment should be given, and the fluctuation range under the mountain is not very large, because they are facing a group of authors.

"This is the agreement we both drafted for you!" The editors of the two publishing houses handed Zeng Xiaoxian two contracts at the same time.

Reaching out and taking it, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't understand a little, these two seemed to be lacking in interest?

Zeng Xiaoxian is not wrong, they are indeed lacking in interest, who made Zeng Xiaoxian a newcomer? The results of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are not bad, but there are still some books with such results, but they are not to the point of begging Zeng Xiaoxian.

Moreover, compared to website publishers, authors have always been in a weak position, and they have long been accustomed to this attitude towards authors.

After looking at it, the two companies gave the same amount, a six-percent royalty share. The difference is the signing fee, one gives 3 million, and the other gives 3.5 million.

Frowning slightly, although Zeng Xiaoxian didn't understand the market in this world, he also knew that the price was not high!

Bohan looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and frowned, leaned over to his side and said, "The website has done its best to get you a royalty share, and they are only willing to buy it out." ”

Buyout? Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head, he would not buy out any copyright of his novels.

"That's their last condition?" Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Bo Khan, and no matter what was discussed between the website and the publishing house, what he needed now was a result, and it was most appropriate to ask Bo Khan.

Slightly stunned, Bo Khan nodded lightly: "The royalty share is only willing to pay up to six percent, and the signing fee may still be negotiable." ”

Just know the conditions they offered, Zeng Xiaoxian really didn't care too much about other things. picked up the contract, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't bother to talk to them anymore, and he was even less in the mood to eat, it was better to come out of the crew and accompany Hu Yifei to eat than to eat with them.

"After the matter is discussed, then we will go back first!" Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Bohan and said with a smile.

Bo Khan didn't expect Zeng Xiaoxian to say this, he was slightly stunned, and when he saw the editors of the two publishing houses opposite, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, I'm afraid that this time the matter will be ruined.

These two editors can be arrogant, obviously Zeng Xiaoxian didn't eat this, so he could only sigh helplessly. Since it has already broken up unhappily, there is no need for Bohan to keep people, otherwise it will cause even more unhappiness.

After Zeng Xiaoxian left the private room with Hu Yifei, the editors of the two publishing houses did not look good.

"The current author really doesn't know the depths!" Feng Yu looked disdainful, and said to Bo Han: "If you make a little achievement, you think you are a famous person." It's just a newcomer, the level is not very good, but the temper is very big. ”

In the online publishing world, these two publishing houses are the largest, and they have well-established online and offline sales channels.

Very proud, that is understandable, but Bohan is also a little unhappy in his heart.

There is an emotion in this world, that is, although my things are not good, I can say whatever I want, but you can't say it. Zeng Xiaoxian is the author under him, and Bohan now has a feeling of eating flies, why did these two editors come?

"You two, let's eat first!" Although he was unhappy, he couldn't help it, the three were cooperative units, and he was not the owner of the website, so he couldn't do anything.

As soon as the two of them heard that they were going to eat, the cousin on their faces looked a lot better, and they directly greeted the waiter to order.

Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei were walking on the road outside, Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Hu Yifei with a smile and said, "Let's go to dinner together, tell me what you want to eat!" ”

Hu Yifei glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you come out directly?" Didn't you say to look at their offer? Don't say anything like you've read it, you're obviously not satisfied with their offer. ”

"Of course I'm not satisfied!" Zeng Xiaoxian smiled as a matter of course: "They just want to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"Really, when I don't understand anything?" Zeng Xiaoxian rolled his eyes: "At this price, I'd rather not publish it!" ”

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, the longer the time, the more popular the book, and the more people are in a hurry. Zeng Xiaoxian is simply too confident in this book, and he is not worried that it will not be published at all.

"You have to be mentally prepared!" Hu Yifei looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "The People's University Press will probably not give you a good price." After all, you're a newcomer, and they don't seem to value their achievements on the Internet. ”

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded, although the online texts in this world are not like those in the previous life, they have become a separate system.

However, the way of reading books determines the people who read books, and most of those who like paper books are middle-aged and elderly people who are of a certain age and have a certain experience. It can be seen on the Internet that most of them are teenagers, which leads to the difference in content.

If it is popular on the Internet, it may not get good results after publication, and if it is published on the Internet, it may not be feasible to put it on the Internet.

Of course, there are also those that can achieve both publishing and online popularity, but there are not many of them.

"It's okay, I'm sure I'll be able to find someone to publish my book!" Zeng Xiaoxian also has a plan, that is, it has something to do with the TV series he is filming now. The novel version of "I Am a Special Soldier", how could Zeng Xiaoxian give up?

When the time comes, with the popularity of the TV series, there will definitely be people who will publish the novel and sell it, with this momentum, will the publication of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" still be a problem?

"Anyway, you just have a plan in your own heart!" Hu Yifei smiled and nodded: "Now, invite me to a big meal, I'm really tired this day!" ”

The two of them had dinner, and Zeng Xiaoxian sent Hu Yifei back to the love apartment, and then returned to the crew. It's just that Zeng Xiaoxian didn't expect that he saw his third uncle as soon as he went back, and this was the first time he came to visit the class.

The factory that is about to close down doesn't know what this uncle is busy with every day, but he is very busy anyway.

"How?" Xu Guobin looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and said with a smile: "Is the competition going well?" ”

Zeng Xiaoxian nodded: "It's very smooth, after getting there, it will be completed soon!" ”

Of course, this is also thanks to Hu Yifei, without him helping Zeng Xiaoxian line up for the lottery, how could it have ended so early.

"That's good!" Xu Guobin looked at Zeng Xiaoxian and nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoxian, have you ever thought about writing the script into a novel?" I think TV series are all adapted from novels, and if you write a novel, you probably can complement the TV series, right? ”

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at his third uncle, but he didn't expect that under his rough appearance, he still had such thoughts.

"I asked the president of the publishing house, and they promised to help, you can write it as soon as possible!" Xu Guobin said with a smile: "Producer Liang and Director Cao also think this is a good idea, and the novel and the TV series can complement each other together." ”

"Publisher?" Zeng Xiaoxian is now very sensitive to these three words, and asked with some hesitation: "Which publishing house?" ”

Xu Guobin laughed and said, "Of course it's our own publishing house!" Binhai Naval Region Literature and Art Publishing House, their president Chang Kuan, used to be a soldier under your father, and later transferred to the publishing house as the president, with his help, there is no problem at all. ”

Daddy's relationship? Zeng Xiaoxian touched his chin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are people in the court who are good officials, that's what it means!

His father's subordinates are naturally no problem, and the treatment they give themselves must be the best.

However, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is still put on first, and the novel version of "I Am a Special Soldier" needs to be written as soon as possible and then handed over to the publishing house, striving to complete the printing and distribution before the TV series is broadcast.
