The current situation faced by "East Poster Edition" is that it is difficult to sign the author and keep the work.

The tradition has been a bit lonely in recent years, and it has not found a suitable outlet for a long time, but the Internet has been appearing one after another business miracles over the years, which still affects the morale of these people.

In addition, some traditional novels have become popular in recent years because of IP, and they have also sold a lot of money.

This has led to a decline in traditional incomes, but many people still feel like they should be worth more money.

The author in front of me, called Jiang Chengwei, is an author of "East Poster Edition", which can be said to be relatively stable, and on average, he can contribute two novels of about 2o million words in about one or two years.

Traditional literature is still quite time-consuming, so if he puts it in an online novel, it will be a turtle, but it can barely be regarded as a high yield in traditional literature.

He has always been paid according to 1,000 words, 100 yuan per 1,000 words, which is not high, after all, his novels are not many, and he can earn 30,000 or 40,000 or even less a year.

Jiang Chengwei is counting on these novels to become popular, and then start publishing, film and television adaptations, and holding the money in his arms.

But the problem is that his novels have not been very famous in the past two years, and he can't talk about those various copyright adaptations, and the money is just getting paid.

Jiang Chengwei's heart was also a little depressed...... And at this time, he also heard the news that the sales of "East Poster Edition" have been rising in the past few days, especially the latest time, the sales volume has actually reached 215,000!

You must know that there are mainly two novels updated by "East Poster Edition", one is "Chivalrous Journey", and the other is his last novel.

As for the other sections, there are also poetry and prose, but those things are difficult to cause changes in sales, and they are not serialized at all, it is impossible that those things cause several consecutive sales increases.

The source of the increase in sales is obviously only Li Kuo's "Chivalrous Journey" and Jiang Chengwei's previous novel.

Jiang Chengwei also knew in his heart that most of the credit came from "Chivalrous Journey", but he felt that his novel also played a vital role in it, especially his finale had been written with all his might, and he felt that it was the best finale in recent years.

As a result, Jiang Chengwei also began to ask his new book to adopt the same buyout and sales share method as Li Kuo, and his fixed price is 195,000 yuan, and he needs to take 5 cents to increase the sales of a newspaper!

However, it is obviously impossible for "East Poster Edition" to give him this price, but he also feels that his novel is okay, so his attitude is a little ambiguous, which makes this guy mistakenly think that "East Poster Edition" is now considering his conditions, so he has to inch in and go directly to the headquarters.

"Jiang Chengwei, I know your novel is not bad, but we really can't accept your asking price." Ye Xing and Jiang Chengwei said.

Jiang Chengwei also got Ye Xing here at the beginning, after all, he is mainly responsible for the novel section, so many of these people have something to do with him, and today Ye Xing came to talk to him.

Jiang Chengwei said: "Boss Ye, in all fairness, do you think this is fair? I'm just getting paid for the buyout now, and of course, it's not too bad, but what about the sales of newspapers? The author named Li Kuo has to say that it is a bit interesting for him to write that book "Chivalrous Journey", but he can take six or seven thousand from the newspaper once he publishes it! And me? Originally, in the sales of the newspaper, my reasons accounted for the lion's majority, but now it is me who only got so much money, and it was all taken away by Li Kuo, which is not fair! ”

Jiang Chengwei's face was not good-looking, and it looked like he should have been really angry.

At this moment, Shi Wenbo, the editor-in-chief of the East Poster, also came over.

His work authority is mainly responsible for the arrangement of the layout, and he does not directly manage Ye Xing, but his title is much higher than Ye Xing, so Ye Xing is still polite when he sees him.

"Xiao Ye, I think there is a bit of a problem with this matter." Shi Wenbo pushed his glasses and said to Ye Xing: "I have read "Chivalrous Travel", and the writing is okay, but the problem now is that we have concentrated the revenue of all the newspaper's sales on him, and all the increased sales have to be given to him, I think this is very unfair!" ”

Ye Xing was a little speechless, but he now understood why Jiang Chengwei was coming here to make trouble: dare to love that there are still people here!

However, Ye Xing would not let these people succeed like that, he said directly: "I don't think there is a problem with this, because the sales of the newspaper are all brought by "Chivalry", so you should give people so much money!" These days, our newspaper has actually begun to increase its sales, increasing by 20,000 copies, and the effect of advertising and the like is not at all measurable by giving Li Kuo that little money! ”

When Jiang Chengwei heard this, the grievances and depression in his heart exploded: "Ye Xing, what you said is too much, right?" In the last issue of the newspaper, the finale of my novel was published, and then the sales exploded! This obviously has the most to do with the finale of my novel, so why did it become the credit of "Chivalrous Journey"? ”

Shi Wenbo was also preparing to fire on the side.

Ye Xing said: "Yes, yes, yes!" I don't deny your bonus to the finale, but in the last issue, the sales were mainly brought by "Knight's Journey", there is no doubt about this, you just look at the meager comments in some places during this time, the chapter before "Knight's Journey" is indeed very well written! ”

Shi Wenbo said: "Xiao Ye, I think your judgment is still a little too subjective! ”

The two of them fired, and one of them was still a lot higher in rank than himself, which made Ye Xing very annoyed, but he quickly thought of one thing and said directly: "Okay! Then let's use the facts to speak, tomorrow there will be a new issue, a new issue, because there is no novel for the time being, we want all "Chivalrous Travel", about 20,000 words, and your book is also finale, so what is the impact on sales, this should be obvious, right? As for those sections of poetry, essays, etc., I don't think it has much impact on sales overall, what do you say? ”

Ye Xing's mention of yì is the most scientific.

The sales of the next issue are all due to "Chivalrous Journey", if it hits the street, then the influence of this novel will be doubtful, and if the sales increase, it will break the previous views of Shi Wenbo and Jiang Chengwei.

"That's fine! Then I'll just wait and see. Jiang Chengwei looked confident: "I think the sales of the next issue of the newspaper will decline, you probably have to think about how to explain to the above, after all, they can see the decline in sales, but they can't see the ...... growth."

Ye Xing said angrily: "You don't have to worry about it." ”
