Chapter Eighty-Four: How Much Do You Get Paid for New Books?
() In his own Hall of Fame, after posting the news that the entity is authorized to Royal Culture, look at the comments that pop up from time to time below. Yu Wenle can also feel that these people are still very happy that the physical book is about to be released.
As this news was reprinted by the media, Yu Wenle also knew that this Hall of Fame account would also become his official news platform in many cases. If there is any news, it can also be released through the platform guò.
Thinking of the fact that the book was too new, Yu Wenle thought about it and dialed Xu Ao, the review editor of Wuxia Weekly. received a call from Yu Wenle, Xu Ao, who was regarded as a hero of the martial arts weekly, also seemed very happy.
smiled and said, "Bunraku, it seems that you are really a celebrity now." On the Internet, you can see your news from time to time! What do you think? How is it to live in Dragon City? This is the capital of the Son of Heaven, so it must give you a lot of feelings, right? ”
'Brother Xu, thank you for your attention. I was too busy a few days ago, and I didn't contact you and Editor-in-Chief Qin. I called you today, I wanted to ask how the serialization of Xiaoao Jianghu was? I want to start launching new books before the physical book goes on sale.
Hasn't my brother been thinking about seeing my new work, how is it? I'll wait, put 100,000 words to your mailbox first, and ask my brother to help review it. From a professional point of view, give me an evaluation. How is it? ’
Although Yu Wenle is full of confidence, he knows to some extent that Xu Ao has worked as a professional martial arts novel review editor. He can still see some of the quality of a work. Otherwise, he will not be the audit editor of the unstable weekly!
Faced with such a request, Xu Ao was very happy and said: "Okay! You're my lifesaver, and I'm in dire need of food for thought! I think that after hearing this news, Editor-in-Chief Qin will definitely be happy.
The serialization of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu' has now come to an end, and it can be scheduled for up to three issues. Although the sales of the weekly magazine have declined, with the support of your new works, this year is another good harvest for the weekly! ”
In Xu Ao's view, including the Nanyue Martial Arts Weekly, the martial arts weeklies in many provinces of the Yanhuang Empire should have owed Wen Le a lot of popularity last year. Because of the serialization of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", their weekly sales have been improved to a certain extent.
If there is no serialization of martial arts novels that readers love, I am afraid that many martial arts weekly magazines will fall into the crisis of layoffs or closure. But last year, the South Vietnamese Martial Arts Weekly, at the end of the year, gave an unprecedented number of year-end bonuses and New Year's goods to the staff.
Now that 'Smiling Proud Jianghu' has ended its serialization and seeks an alternative martial arts novel, it has also become a headache for many editors-in-chief of martial arts weekly. Even if Yu Wenle said that his new novel will continue to be serialized to warm up.
But this matter has not been finalized for a day, and the content of the work has not been seen for a day, and no one dares to take it lightly. Therefore, hearing Yu Wenle's words, Xu Ao was naturally very happy. After all, the Internet is also full of expectations for the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes'!
After ending the call, Yu Wenle sent the stored new book to Xu Ao's mailbox with a manuscript of more than 100,000 words. These more than 100,000 words have just described the plot of the protagonist 'Guo Jing' who was born in Mongolia and was still a child.
After reading this new book of more than 100,000 words, Xu Ao also feels that the quality of this new book is not inferior to Wenraku's first novel. And this book, the righteousness of the family and country described in this book, is also worthy of praise in his opinion.
For Genghis Khan, who established the Yuan Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Yanhuang Empire, he was also praised as a hero. It's just that as the emperor of the Han people, the founding emperor still hated the cruel oppressive policy implemented by the Yuan Dynasty to rule the Central Plains.
But even so, the founding emperor who defeated the Manchu Qing Kingdom, which also rose in the homeland of Mongolia, made the steppe troops surrender and awe with the momentum of Jin Ge Iron Horse. even expanded the territory of the Yanhuang Empire to the areas ruled by the Yuan Dynasty.
Fortunately, at the beginning of the promotion of Bunraku's new book, he said that the novel is purely fictional, and the history and characters involved are controversial, and I believe that some people will understand. After all, Genghis Khan was indeed a heroic figure in the history of Yan and Huang.
Xu Ao, who felt a little dissatisfied, could only sigh: "Alas, be content!" It is also an honor to be the first person to appreciate this novel, so what is not satisfied! ”
After talking to himself, Xu Ao sent the novel to Qin Xiaoyi's mailbox, and then got up and walked to Qin Xiaoyi's office. Since Yu Wenle sent the 100,000 words of the new book, this also means that it is necessary to discuss and give Yu Wenle a remuneration.
Knowing that Yu Wenle had sent the new book, Qin Xiaoyi was also very happy and said: "It seems that in his heart, he still treats you better!" Presumably you've already reviewed this novel, right? What do you think? ”
The writing has hardly changed from the first part. There are only three large chapters, and it seems somewhat unpleasant. However, in the first three chapters, this kid should have a lot of foreshadowing. A rare masterpiece! ’
After telling Qin Xiaoyi his opinion, Xu Ao said again: "Now that 'Xiaoao Jianghu' is coming to an end, presumably our weekly magazine should be able to announce the final finale to book fans in advance before the physical book goes on sale."
It's just a new book about Wen Shao, what does it mean? Wen Shao would rather give up the first release on the Internet and still choose to publish it first in our weekly magazine. I want to increase the remuneration given to him. He is righteous and righteous, and we cannot be unjust! ”
Referring to the matter of remuneration, Qin Xiaoyi said with a slight headache: "At present, the above means that I only agree to two hundred words per thousand words for remuneration. At this price, it is suitable for the previous arrival. But with his current fame, the price seems to be a bit low.
However, since the new book has been sent to me, I'll take a look at it first. If the quality is really good, I will apply for a higher remuneration for him. As a first-run weekly, we can't afford to lower the price than other weeklies! ”
Since Yu Wenle said that the new book will still be published in Wuxia Weekly. Yu Wenle is about to go to Jiangnan Martial Arts Weekly, and he said vigorously. If Yu Wenle is willing to publish it in their weekly magazine, the remuneration will be given to the well-known writer.
That means that the remuneration for 1,000 words is at least about 25 to 355. Top writers, the highest is only 500 yuan and 1,000 words. The South Vietnamese Martial Arts Weekly only raised it to two hundred yuan, which was a little unacceptable in Qin Xiaoyi's opinion.
With the serialization of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Nanyue Martial Arts Weekly achieved a turnaround last year. Although the sales volume has decreased this year, the monthly profit is only much higher than the remuneration they paid to Yu Wenle.
If it is the South Vietnamese Martial Arts Weekly, it really only gives Yu Wenle a remuneration of 200 per thousand words. Even if Yu Wenle won't say anything, the next time he has such a starting opportunity, it will definitely not be the turn of Nanyue Martial Arts Weekly.
But in the eyes of those above, they only care about how much the weekly magazine earns each month. If you pay for it, many people feel a little reluctant. This is precisely the reason why this kind of martial arts weekly is gradually declining.
Regarding the matter of remuneration, Yu Wenle didn't know that it would give Qin Xiaoyi such a headache. After sending the new book to Xu Ao, Yu Wenle also felt that he had completed one thing. As for the signing of the new book, it will not be too late to sign it when he returns to South Vietnam.
received a call from Yuan Na and learned that she and Si Xuan would be guests at home in the evening. Yu Wenle also hurriedly called his parents and asked them to buy more food and come back, and the family banquet in the evening in the province was too shabby.
When an off-road vehicle stopped at the gate of the courtyard at night, looking at the people who got out of the car, Yu Wenle felt a little surprised. On the other hand, the driver who was driving said with a smile: "Wen Shao, Si is uninvited, don't you mind?" ”
This fat uncle Si Weiming, who had a relationship with each other in the car dealership, looked at Yu Wenle's somewhat surprised expression, but he still took the initiative to greet him very amiably. Let Yu Wenle also sigh, this fat uncle is really a superb character!
