341, missed
Chen Yuezhi slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon and smiled: "Don't you know the difference between buyouts and royalties?" ”
A buyout is a one-hammer buyout, maybe six hundred words look like a lot, but after taking this money, the book will make money in the future, except for one name, it has nothing to do with her.
But royalties are different, no matter what time it is, the copyright is still her own, and as long as a book is sold, sixty percent of the money is hers.
If it weren't for the fact that time-traveling novels can make a lot of money, she wouldn't believe that the publishing house would offer such a high price?
Besides, she is not short of money at all now, and when she makes the farmhouse plan in Eagle Rock, the more than one million used up will soon become tens of millions.
There are also the TV series version and movie version of Director Zheng's side, I believe that once it is completed and released, the 40 million invested in it will become hundreds of millions.
Relying on the small amount of money from publishing, it was not enough to stuff her teeth, so she was happy to use it to tease this 205 editor.
Liu Yacai was immediately a little embarrassed, she didn't expect this little girl to look at the little one, and she still knew so much, now those authors, when they heard that their works could be published, they couldn't find the north and south, where to care about the nature, what to buy out, royalties, and only when there was a TV series to be filmed, when others took a lot of money, they would find out painfully that the money had nothing to do with them, they were typical fools who bought and returned the pearls.
However, everyone thinks differently, if it is her, she may also choose to buy it out when it is in an emergency, after all, it is so safe and the money comes quickly. And royalties are linked to market efficiency, in case the market sales are not good, won't it be a loss at both ends at that time?
Liu Yacai can't be the master, so she has to ask her master again, this time the other party discussed for a long time, and finally gave a reply that royalties can be paid. But websites also have to make money. If the majority of the money is given to Chen Yuezhi, the website will take another 10%, and the publishing house will have to pay manpower for typesetting and printing. Basically, there is no money to be made.
So the other party hopes that she can reduce the royalty price to 30 percent.
"Miss Liu, you are playing with my daughter, right, your website is also a platform, according to my family background. Even if I don't have your website, I can find a publisher to publish the book. So your savings are completely chicken ribs, and you still have to get 10% of the profits, which is really an empty glove white wolf. Zeng Juan didn't know when, she had already finished calling. As soon as I heard this, I was immediately unhappy and quickly entered the role.
She was depressed. Because after the verification just now, it is likely that they have misunderstood. This Liu Yacai is not a criminal at all, he is really the editor of the website.
Although she was safe, she should be happy, but she couldn't be happy, she thought that she would be able to solve the case soon, but she didn't expect her hope to be disappointed again, and as soon as she came back, she saw Liu Yacai, using a tone and means to deceive children, how could she be happy in her heart, and her speech was naturally difficult to sound.
The key is that at this time, Liu Yacai's mobile phone was not hung up, in order to facilitate Chen Yuezhi's speech, it was hands-free, and suddenly the boss on the website also heard it, and she immediately said: "May I ask who this lady is?" ”
"Editor-in-chief, she is the author's mother. The author is only fifteen years old and underage, so today she is accompanied by her mother. Liu Yacai hurriedly explained, and apologized for her, for fear that the editor-in-chief would be angry, and it would affect her when the time came, she was just a little shrimp.
"I see, hello this lady, we really value your daughter's talent, and the publishing house is also very eager to sign this book, the average newcomer can have this price is already the sky, of course, if this book of Gui Qianjin can achieve good results in the market, when she opens a second book, the price will definitely be different, and it will definitely be raised again." The editor-in-chief of the website is a man, his voice is very low and good, and he doesn't seem to be angry at Zeng Juan's domineering attitude before.
Zeng Juan didn't care about this, and said directly: "Lin Dang, deputy editor-in-chief of Xinghai Publishing House, is my classmate, if I want to publish, just make a phone call, where do I need you to be this middleman." I heard that because of the rumors of the curse on the Internet, your website has previously pit nearly 100 time-traveling novels, and five or six novelists who wrote time-travel, so they disappeared, which has had a very bad impact on the industry and has almost become the destruction of your website. My daughter is the only life-saver who can help you get rid of the negative impact and help you turn over, instead of thanking her, you want to squeeze the surplus value out of her, can you really be a fool for everyone else? Little wish, let's go, talking to such a person, it's a waste of time. ”
"Please wait a minute, this lady, you have something to say, you are right, if Gui Qianjin's novel can be successfully published, and she herself will safely cooperate with our promotional activities, it will be the best proof, I thought about it before, please give me another chance." We don't want to mention it, and we will give your daughter the best information on the site, as long as your daughter's work has been serialized on our website. A middle-aged man with a handsome temperament, a somewhat thin body, and pale skin hurriedly walked in and stopped Zeng Juan, who was leaving.
Liu Yacai hurriedly stood up and said in surprise: "Editor-in-chief, why are you here?" ”
"Hello, my name is Xiao Hong, Xiao of the zodiac, Hongdahong, I am the webmaster and editor-in-chief of Shengwen website." Xiao Hong stretched out his hand enthusiastically, and Zeng Juan shook him casually with some impatience.
The four of them had to return to the table again, Chen Yuezhi could see that Zeng Juan already wanted to leave here, since he was sure that Liu Yacai was not a murderer, it was really just a coincidence, so there was no point in staying any longer.
It's just that if you insist on leaving now, it will make people feel strange, and you will show your feet, after all, no one knows if the people around here who look like guests, passers-by, or waiters will be the eyes of the murderer.
Chen Yuezhi held her hand and injected a fresh wood aura into her body, which immediately calmed her original impetuous mood a lot, and glanced at Chen Yuezhi gratefully.
She almost broke something bad because of her eagerness and impetuousness.
"What is this lady's name?" Xiao Hong asked politely.
Zeng Juan came over, naturally re-entered the role again, raised her chin with a slightly restrained attitude, and took out a thin hot stamping business card from her wallet. handed it over: "Don't give your surname Zhang." Editor-in-chief Xiao, the people under your command are really poor in their ability to do things, they can't say anything clearly for a long time, do you know how much money I have to waste if I delay so much time, and every minute is a loss of tens of thousands of yuan. Who will pay for this loss? ”
In the fake file given to Zeng Juan by the police. She is a successful businesswoman in the trade category of Haishi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that tens of thousands of dollars per minute.
Xiao Hong took the business card and looked at it. The attitude became more and more warm and polite, he had heard of this trading company, and this businesswoman seemed to have a little impression. I think I watched it on the news a few days ago.
He also looked at Chen Yuezhi, but he was instantly amazed by her. Looking at her obedient girl again, she instantly understood why Zeng Juan was so nervous.
If he had such a cute and beautiful daughter, he would definitely be a baby, and besides, this good girl was still a talented girl.
"Ms. Zhang. I came here in person to apologize to you, and I was too busy with work before. A moment of negligence, only a small editor was sent over. Please don't mind you and Miss Xiao. ”
Zeng Juan saw that Xiao Hong's attitude of admitting his mistakes was good, so she forgave him, and he couldn't act in the play, so she asked him what he wanted to say when he came over.
Xiao Hong immediately said what he thought, it turned out that he wanted to ask Chen Yuezhi to be the image spokesperson of their website.
"Don't hide it from Ms. Zhang, an old classmate of mine opened a film and television company in Beijing, and we talked about this novel together last night, and he was very interested and wanted to make such a time-traveling TV series. In this way, we can serialize on the website, publish and go public, and TV release at the same time. We can also put Miss Yuan's costume photos on the website, on the one hand, more people can pay attention to Miss Yuan, so that Miss Yuan's fame and fortune will definitely be of great help to Ms. Zhang's career. On the one hand, of course, we can also promote our website, attract more authors to come, let the online articles bloom, and let our website get rid of the previous negative impact. ”
Zeng Juan couldn't help but be more serious when she heard what he said, and asked him which classmate he was, whether he was a famous director, which film and television company, or something like that.
"Ms. Zhang, my classmate, is definitely talented, although he is still unknown, as long as he is given time and opportunity, he will definitely soar." Xiao Hong was afraid that Zeng Juan would not be willing, so he hurriedly said good things for his old classmates.
"Who is he first, and I'll see if there are any past works?"
"His name is Zheng Kaiyuan, a person from Beijing, he opened a future film and television company, with the support of people from the military department behind him, and now he is filming a martial arts drama, I heard that he is a big boss who has invested 100 million yuan in a big system. As long as this film is released as soon as it is completed, next year's Best Director Award will be him, as long as your daughter can be looked at by him, it will not be impossible to be popular at that time. Xiao Hong said foaming at the mouth.
Chen Yuezhiyuan was very surprised when he heard Director Zheng's name, he didn't expect the world to be so small, and he actually met an acquaintance of an acquaintance when he walked around casually.
But when I heard 100 million again, I almost squirted out the coffee, it's so funny, Zheng Kaiyuan's courage is too big, obviously there is only an investment of 40 million, how can it get to the mouth of propaganda, it is 100 million?
And the 40 million she gave is also all the money, including the company's shares, not just a film, Zheng Kaiyuan is really good at fooling, and he dares to say that it is a martial arts drama with an investment of 100 million.
Xiao Hong didn't know that Zeng Juan was from the capital, and thought she didn't know her, so he introduced Zheng Kai's background in detail, in fact, Zeng Juan not only knew, but also had a little relationship with this Zheng Dao.
"If you want to ask our family to be your website spokesperson, it's not impossible, but how much endorsement fee do you plan to pay?"
"This is easy to discuss, so let's do it, the website recommends resources, and the best ones are used by Miss Ah Yuan, and if the author who comes here is attracted because of Miss Ah Yuan's endorsement, or any income generated, how about thirty percent of it go to Miss Ah Yuan? After all, our website also needs some revenue, and it also costs money to advertise. Xiao Hong said with a smile.
Chen Yuezhi said as if unintentionally: "In that case, why don't you charge for the novels on the website?" ”
She was a little excited in her heart, she wanted to see if her butterfly wings would advance the generation of novel chapter charges?
Xiao Hong frowned and thought for a while: "If you don't charge now, you can't win people's hearts, if you charge it, won't the readers run out even more?" ”
"That's not necessarily, if the author writes really good, readers who are true love must be willing to spend money, after all, the author also has to support his family, everyone is not a typewriter, if you want to write 1,2000 words, it will take hours, if you use these hours to work, you must also earn money. If you are afraid that the implementation of a large area will not be appropriate, it is better to implement it among the authors with the best grades and the most readers. Chen Yuezhi continued to work hard without giving up.
Liu Yacai has been serving as a background board next to him, and finally jumped out at this time: "Editor-in-chief, I think Ah Yuanda's idea is very good, for example, if Ah Yuanda's book starts to charge now, and if the price of a chapter is only a few cents, then I must be willing to read it, what can I do with a few cents now, and a popsicle will cost five cents?" ”
Xiao Hong thought about it, after all, this idea is too novel and too advanced, and now all websites or forums on the Huaxia National Network are basically serialized for free, and no one has ever proposed the idea of charging?
What he is worried about, everyone is free, if he charges, will it cause everyone to be disgusted, and all the readers will run out.
But Chen Yuezhi's words are also right, this is the time to test the cohesion of readers, if it can really succeed, it will also be of great benefit to the website, now the website can be supported by his personal money, but his personal money is also limited, but the level of the author is uneven, not everyone can publish, can make TV series.
"Okay, Miss Ah Yuan, what do you think, after I go back, I will discuss it with the other people in charge, do you have any other good ideas?" Xiao Hong stared at Chen Yuezhi with bright eyes, almost treating her as a baby.
Even if Chen Yuezhi knows, he won't say it, there are some things, just dial it a little, as for what kind of reward, monthly/ticket list, all kinds of lists, it depends on whether they have the brains to get it.
She has already slightly affected the historical trajectory of online literature, so don't go too far.
"Editor-in-chief Xiao, I know what you said, so let's do it, this matter is very important, I have to go home and discuss it with the child's father, and give you a reply in three days, we still have something to do, so let's leave first, goodbye!" Zeng Juan interrupted Xiao Hong's passionate imagination, pulled Chen Yuezhi to lose this sentence, and left in a hurry.
Just now, the earrings on her ears were actually a liaison, and they suddenly vibrate, and they were the lids that would only be activated in special circumstances or when there was a serious case. (To be continued.) )
