Chapter XXXIV Contracts

Su Yang had a signed contract in front of him, and after saying a bunch of words, he finally got to the point, Lao Chen saw Su Yang looking at the contract, and said: "Su Yang, you have to read carefully, or you can contact your parents to sign the contract!" ”

Su Yang shook his head, contracts like this have been signed more than once, and his parents don't understand this, even his mother Huang Jing, who often contributes, has only published some articles in the newspaper, and has not published physical books, with her cultural level, it is not realistic to publish a book.

Lao Chen sat patiently opposite Su Yang, and when he saw that he was looking seriously, he couldn't help but speak: "Su Yang, you may not understand some things, I want to mention them to you here, so as not to say that I bullied you for your young age!" ”

"Uncle Chen, you say!" Suyang Road.

"Regarding the manuscript fee, I propose to pay according to the basic number of words, plus the number of releases, I don't mind you choose the other two, because although your book is very good, but there are too many uncertainties in the market, it's not how you want to be, if you need to print it at that time, then distribute it according to the number of additional prints, this book will need ten copies according to your expectation, then the remaining nine volumes will still be calculated in this way, and will be settled once in half a year, what do you think?" Lao Chen said.

Wang Xuezhi, who was sitting on the side, nodded and said: "Lao Chen is right, the other two distribution methods are not suitable for you who have no popularity and readers in the early stage, it is not good to evaluate the specific value of one-time distribution, and if the royalty is calculated, the remuneration you can get is not accurate, but it is difficult to exceed the first one!" ”

Su Yang Wenyan didn't agree, shook his head, and said with a chuckle: "I choose the second one, and I have this confidence!" ”

"Are you sure?"

For the publishing house, Su Yang's choice to use royalties to calculate the remuneration is undoubtedly unfavorable to himself, because Su Yang is not a well-known writer, and the number of books distributed is not possible, and the remuneration obtained in this way is undoubtedly lower than the basic remuneration calculation method recommended by Lao Chen.

"Of course, I thought about it before!" Su Yang chuckled.

Lao Chen frowned and said: "Su Yang, you have to think clearly, I am optimistic about your prospects, and I don't want a young author like you to suffer, if you calculate according to royalties, you can only get much less than what I said, you can take the contract back, discuss it with your family, and sign it after you confirm it!" ”

Su Yang can understand Lao Chen's thoughts, to be honest, he is still quite moved in his heart, because he is still so young after all, and it is the first time to publish a book, there are too many unknowns, and choosing royalties to calculate the remuneration is undoubtedly the kind of person who is very confident in the circulation will choose, like Su Yang, who will basically choose the calculation method of the basic remuneration, so that it is more secure.

"Uncle Chen, I know, and I'm very sure, I signed the contract, about the cover painting of the book, the publishing house should have a special artist, right? I'll give a general outline! Su Yang said.

Seeing that Su Yang was so resolute, Lao Chen could only shake his head helplessly, "Young and vigorous!" ”

After the contract was signed, Su Yang then took out a blank piece of paper from his trouser pocket, with a picture drawn on it, but because his painting skills were too clumsy, he could only say that there was an outline, but the meaning he wanted to express had been clearly expressed, Su Yang handed over the drawing paper to the publishing house, and asked them to draw the cover picture according to their own ideas, and let Su Yang confirm it before completing the release, and the pen name was written at the time of submission, Tang Su, this name was temporarily proposed by Su Yang, Su is his surname, as for Tang, needless to say, he can understand what it means.

Wang Xuezhi took Su Yang back to Yan Township, and couldn't help but talk about the manuscript fee on the way, he thought that Su Yang was too irrational, and the calculation of royalties was likely to make Su Yang's final remuneration drop to less than half of what he could have gotten, and Lao Chen was optimistic about Su Yang, so he decided to give Su Yang a basic remuneration of 30 thousand words at the beginning, this price is definitely not low, especially for newcomers like Su Yang, after all, Xiantu currently only has the first volume, and no one can say whether Su Yang can follow the creation of lì until the end of the book!

Su Yang didn't explain too much about this, and pretended to be stupid with a smile, but he still expressed his gratitude to Wang Xuezhi, after all, he was on the side of the publishing house, and he was willing to think about Su Yang, a fledgling newcomer, usually in this case, the publishing house would try its best to maximize the interests of its own side and squeeze the remuneration that the author could get.

When the car drove to the door of the house, Wang Xuezhi said to Su Yang, who got out of the car: "The book is about to start printing, and when it comes out, I will bring the template over, if you are sure that there is no problem, it will be officially released, but the initial circulation will not exceed two thousand, you have to be mentally prepared!" ”

"Well, that's a good number, even if it's only a thousand copies, it doesn't matter!" Su Yang chuckled.

Wang Xuezhi nodded, then rolled up the window and left.

Su Yang, who came home, lay on the bed for a while, no one was at home, the woman was probably pulled by Su Yongguang to work, thinking that she couldn't do the rough work of decoration, basically Su Yongguang handed something or sat aside, Su Yang was happy at home alone, after thinking about it, he got up and turned on the computer to continue writing, and now his writing motivation is more sufficient, after all, this is the first pot of gold he will get, and if he is a qiē shun lì, this pot of gold will definitely not be less! Even the number is enough for Su Yang to do many things.

Even Su Yang, who is like the current one, couldn't help but fantasize beautifully, and then settled down to continue to write.

Xiantu is Su Yang's first novel in this life, and there will be two more in the follow-up, Su Yang has already set the theme and plot, and even the title of the book has already been confirmed, the first Xiantu, the second asks, the third part, the Holy Buddha, and the foundation of the last two needs to be established by the first Xiantu, so the initial stage is also the most difficult, Su Yang needs to be mentally prepared enough to bear any possible progress and consequences.

The time to be able to code words is not much,And the input method also limits Su Yang's typing speed,After a period of time,Su Yang decided to learn Wubi input method,I learned for a while in my previous life,But I have no patience,And with the pinyin input method to create cloud input intelligent error correction and spelling,Its powerful function has gradually surpassed Wubi in efficiency,So that the vast majority of users choose a more concise pinyin input method。 But the intelligent input methods that Su Yang is familiar with will take several years to appear, and they are not so powerful in the early stage, so at present, Wubi is still the most efficient input method, and Su Yang also needs to learn it well.

After graduating and going to No. 1 Middle School, although there will be computer classes, it is still impossible to code words, so Su Yang has to complete the first part of Xiantu before going to No. 1 Middle School, and then continue the writing of the last two parts according to the situation, maybe Su Yang can find a way to rent a place outside, and then move the computer over, so that he can continue to write.

School life is still so monotonous, Su Yang takes class seriously, and actively responds to the teachers of various subjects who occasionally call his name, this outstanding member in the third class is now a popular figure, and the teachers of various subjects also like this student very much, and he is often called out in the interaction between classes.

"Su Yang, how is my uncle talking to you? Will your novel be published? Wang Wenbin sat next to Su Yang after class and said, Shen Yan didn't come to school today, and Su Yang's side was empty.

"It's quite smooth, it shouldn't take long to be officially released, let you see it when the time comes!" Suyang Road.

"Hehe, I can explain to you, I don't have money, you have to give me a free copy, this is the first time for a great writer in the future, maybe the price will increase in the future, I'm going to get rich!" Wang Wenbin said with a smile.

Su Yang said angrily: "You can fake it a little more!" ”

"Where, I really think you'll make it!" Wang Wenbin swore an oath.

Su Yang didn't continue to argue with him, thinking that this guy had made an appointment with Liu Qiaoling that day, he was a little curious: "What kind of development have you and Liu Qiaoling developed now?" Did you hold hands and kiss or something? ”

Wang Wenbin looked at Su Yang strangely when he heard this, and then said a little depressed: "Well, I haven't even touched my hand yet, but soon, the revolution will be successful!" ”

"Take your time, don't rush, it's still a long time!" Su Yang smiled, and then said, "By the way, Wen Bin, I have a Jianyì, whether I listen to you or not!" ”

Wang Wenbin heard the words and said: "What is the construction of yì, you are powerful now, I will definitely listen to your construction yì!" ”

“……”

Su Yang said: "Liu Qiaoling is a very well-behaved girl, and her personality is also relatively introverted, although I believe that you will succeed sooner or later with your three-inch tongue, but you still have to be gentle with other girls, you have to be gradual, and there are some things that don't force others, especially the most important things for girls, what do you think?" ”

Wang Wenbin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "How can you listen to what you said is very experienced, and what else is the most important thing?" ”

"What do you think is the most important thing for every girl?" Su Yang looked at Wang Wenbin and said, as long as it is a man with normal hormones, it is impossible to have no thoughts about the girl he likes.

Wang Wenbin smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with this, I look like that kind of person?" ”

"Like!"

Su Yang clearly remembered that in the previous life, Wang Wenbin and Liu Qiaoling took them to the hotel soon after they got together, although they had already gone to high school at that time, but within a few days they were known by Liu Qiaoling's parents, and then Liu Qiaoling was scolded by her parents, Su Yang naturally did not know, only knew that Liu Qiaoling was asked by her parents to stay at home for a long time, but Wang Wenbin escaped, Liu Qiaoling did not say who the other party was, originally if Wang Wenbin was still with Liu Qiaoling, After a long time, the other party's parents will forgive, but after that time, Wang Wenbin and Liu Qiaoling broke up in less than a month, and it was Wang Wenbin who proposed to break up, because he felt that Liu Qiaoling's parents would definitely not agree to him and Liu Qiaoling walking together, and they would be so sneaky. For this reason, Su Yang, who is a brother, also scolded Wang Wenbin, but after all, this kind of thing is not easy to care about as an outsider, and how Wang Wenbin wants to deal with it is also his own business.
