Reserve price buyout plus newspaper sales share......

If it was put 20 years ago......

No, even if it was placed ten years ago, this is a very favorable condition, enough for many authors to rush to it and frantically pounce on it......

But now, such conditions are not too good.

Mainly, the sales of this newspaper now, don't go down...... It's so hard to get promoted.

"And how will the sales of this newspaper be calculated?" Li Kuo said with some doubts: "Could it be that your newspaper has set its own circulation standard?" How much will increase at that time is also calculated by your side? ”

Newspaper sales are a very important thing, if the "East Poster" is calculated by itself, then it is not interesting, even if it really gets a high sales, when the time comes, if the "East Poster" hides the sales, Li Kuo will not get anything.

So Li Kuo still tries to be tactful about his thoughts now, but Ye Xing can certainly hear the meaning of Li Kuo's words.

Ye Xing smiled: "If you agree, this is definitely not a problem, because the numbers on our side are all public and true!" Besides, we are a state-owned enterprise, so we won't lie about it! ”

Li Kuo is skeptical about this, but now that the Internet is particularly developed, it is not impossible to find out how the character of "East Poster" is.

Therefore, what Ye Xing said can be believed for the time being.

So Li Kuo is about to start thinking about the interests in the middle.

How much can I gain from this contract, will I bury the novel "Chivalrous Journey", so that I can't get any benefits in the end......

These are all areas that Li Kuo needs to consider.

"The price we give you here now is 80 per thousand words, and then according to the sales of the newspaper, you can withdraw three cents per copy...... Our benchmark is currently an average of 195,000 copies sold, and each additional copy gets a three-cent share! ”

A newspaper costs three cents, so Li Kuo feels that he is not too easy to get too much money......

After all, the sales of print media are indeed not very good now.

There is a real problem with the sales of print media now.

And now the sales of physical books are also relatively sluggish, what can really sell a book for money is film and television copyrights, and some other added value, it was a long time ago that it was really just selling to make money.

Newspapers and magazines are also very difficult to sell now, and more can only rely on subsidies or quite delicate to cultivate readers' habits.

There aren't many newspapers that can make money right now.

But from Li Kuo's point of view, it is more appropriate for his book to be published in newspapers now.

In another time and space, when it was about 10 years and 1 year, although martial arts novels could not be said to be dead, they did have a lingering taste.

There is a martial arts category on the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, but there are not many people who are really popular or original martial arts, and the traditional publishing industry is even more so, there are no martial arts novels that have become popular, only a few newspapers and periodicals such as "Modern and Ancient Legend Martial Arts Edition" can survive, and there are already many newspapers and periodicals in that newspaper that say martial arts, but in fact they are already fantasy novels.

This time and space is similar, the living space of martial arts is forcibly squeezed by fantasy novels and the like, coupled with the reduction of channels, so that there are fewer and fewer places where martial arts novels can appear.

Although Xinya.com is biased towards the traditional literary base, martial arts novels basically have no soil for survival......

Physical book sales are also not popular.

Li Kuo's best choice is "East Poster Edition", in this place, there is a certain room for survival of martial arts novels.

Besides, Dong Qi helped him a lot before.

After taking into account many situations, Li Kuo knew that his best choice was this newspaper.

80 yuan per thousand words is indeed not high, but if you pay according to the sales volume, Li Kuo has some room to toss and turn, and the quality of his novels can also be strictly tested.

As for the quality of the novel, Li Kuo is the least worried...... After all, this is the work of Old Man Jin, and he has nothing to worry about.

At the moment, Li Kuo said: "How is the sales of newspapers now? ”

Ye Xing shook his head slightly and said: "To tell you the truth, the sales of the newspaper now are indeed not good, and it can basically stabilize at the level of 19-200,000 copies, which is still within the national range!" Of course, I'm mainly talking about "East Poster Edition", but if it's other social editions and the like, the current sales are lower, probably only about 150,000 yuan. ”

Li Kuo nodded.

"East Poster" was not a news authority in the first place, so it is obvious that the sales of the news version are relatively small.

Although "East Poster" is a newspaper, it was initially accepted by everyone that was the novel section of this newspaper, and when this newspaper was founded, it was "Edition" that played a huge role, and even the sales of "Edition" saved the entire "East Poster".

So now Dong Qi and they attach special importance to the second edition of "East Poster Edition": because of the previous meeting and discussion on their side, some people have even proposed that if they can't find a suitable novel and the sales are still declining, then it is better to withdraw this second edition directly.

Li Kuo smmed for a moment, but it was about the same as he estimated.

The decline of the paper medium is not just a patent of its own time and space, because it is actually a historical inevitability......

It's not that online media is taller than print media...... But the main reason is that the speed of online media is too fast, the timeliness is too strong, and in terms of viewing costs, online media is going to explode paper media.

But there are still many people who still prefer the feeling of reading books and newspapers, and if you read e-books, you may not be able to find this feeling.

"Then let me continue to think about it!" Li Kuo nodded slightly and said.

Li Kuo...... In fact, this condition is already the maximum I can strive for, mainly because I think "Knight's Journey" is a bit tricky! Otherwise, we don't give more than 2 cents a share of newspaper sales to other authors! Ye Xing couldn't help but add.

Li Kuo nodded: "Thank you!" I know all of this, but let me think about it, I want to think about it! ”

"That's fine! Looking forward to your good news! Ye Xing said.

…… After separating from Ye Xing, Li Kuo didn't take much time to think it through.

He still plans to post "Chivalrous Journey" on "East Poster".
