Chapter 21: The Legend of Wukong

"I'm here, what's the matter?"

"V, have you signed a contract with another company? Will we still publish music in our bitter melon music? Huang Jinhuan seemed to be a little anxious, although Lin Ziyao didn't know what he meant, but at this time he really didn't have the idea of going to other music websites to release songs.

"I won't sign a contract with an entertainment company, you can rest assured about this, as for releasing songs on bitter gourd music, well, now you bitter gourd don't have anything to be sorry for, and bitter gourd is also familiar to me after all, so I won't change the website."

"Okay, so, V Big, are you ready for your new song?"

"It's in preparation, and it will be able to be presented to everyone in a month."

Lin Ziyao actually didn't think about whether he should sing that song, but now he really doesn't want to sing anymore.

"Ah, another month?"

Lin Ziyao was a little strange, why, is a month a long time: "Huh? Isn't it possible for a month? ”

Huang Jinhuan then remembered that a month is indeed not too long, just now he replaced himself as a fan of Lin Ziyao's songs, as for when the idol will release the song, his first feeling is that the sooner the better, he is guilty of brain damage, after all, he also belongs to the music industry, knowing that the time for a musician to create a song is as fast as two or three days, and it takes several months or even half a year to be slow, and it depends on the quality of the song, and the time is even longer.

"No, I'm looking forward to your new song in a month."

After finishing chatting with Huang Jinhuan, Lin Ziyao took out a thick stack of scratch paper that was put aside, didn't he say that he was busy now, yes, he was busy with the things in his hand.

This is his efforts for this week, and it only took a week for Lin Ziyao to write "The Legend of Wukong".

"The Legend of Wukong" is an alternative interpretation novel of the author Jin He Zai's four famous Chinese novels "Journey to the West".

In his previous life, he has always enjoyed the reputation of "the first book on the Internet", and in 2009, he was selected as one of the top ten popular works in the "Ten Years of Internet Literature Inventory" activity.

Maybe the number of words in "The Legend of Wukong" is not very much, and it is a little insignificant in front of the number of millions of words in the novel, and the whole book is about 20 chapters of words, but the advantage is that its content can cause people to think deeply, many people who have read it say that this is a novel that can make people impressed, of course, it is impossible to be the first book on the Internet without strength.

When he wrote a few chapters just a few days ago, Lin Ziyao sent out the manuscript to the top four publishing houses in the country, but unfortunately except for Huaguo Publishing House, the official publishing house, which rejected Lin Ziyao's publication because of rigorous problems, and the other Zhonghai Publishing History and Baihua Publishing House refused because Lin Ziyao was completely a newcomer, and did not read the manuscript at all, but Lin Ziyao's hometown Eastern Provincial Culture Publishing House was willing to meet with Lin Ziyao to discuss the signing of the contract.

Of course, Lin Ziyao also thought about publishing it on the Internet, but after thinking about it, he gave up, after all, he didn't want to destroy this classic, in Lin Ziyao's heart, the best place for the book "The Legend of Wukong" is to publish, because on the Internet, maybe 100,000 words can't even cause a splash, of course, this is an exaggeration, after all, now Lin Ziyao is also a supreme god, and his popularity is famous, and the sensation caused by opening a new book is not as simple as a drop of water into the sea.

Plum Blossom Coffee Shop, Lin Ziyao stood in front of this coffee shop, looked at the five big characters on it, and then walked in, only to see a mature woman about thirty years old sitting on a table near the window, with a laptop on her desk, she didn't care at all about the eyes of other guests who came here to look at her, just kept looking at the articles in the laptop, and sometimes commented a few words.

When he saw Lin Ziyao coming in, he motioned for him to go to her.

She is Wang Xue, the editor-in-chief of the Eastern Provincial Culture Publishing House who came to negotiate with Lin Ziyao this time, I saw that she had thin eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, a cold face, a black and brown professional uniform, wrapped her plump body, and bowed to the next career line, but she probably knew that it was somewhat rude to stare at people like this, so Lin Ziyao opened his eyes again in an instant.

"May I ask if you are the editor-in-chief of the Eastern Province Culture Publishing House?"

"Yes, you are the author of "The Legend of Wukong", you look quite young, but it's no wonder, no wonder you write such a funny novel."

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, this is not a funny novel, in my mind it is a philosophical novel."

Hearing Wang Xue say that this is a funny novel, Lin Ziyao certainly won't let the other party belittle his novel so much, no matter what the reason, "The Legend of Wukong" is a classic book that can shock people's hearts and is more powerful than chicken soup for the soul.

"Okay, don't call me Editor-in-Chief Wang like this, you can call me Sister Wang, but I want to make sure that "The Legend of Wukong" is really written by you?"

"Well, okay, Sister Wang, that's natural, knowledge piracy is punishable by 30 years in prison, I'm only 20 years old, a good youth is waiting for me, I don't want to go to jail because of this, and Sister Wang should have been determined in the copyright center before this."

"The Legend of Wukong" Lin Ziyao has been registered, and the copyright center is specially set up to deal with some deception and piracy, the purpose is to ensure the author's creative achievements, that is, because of this, piracy rarely occurs, of course, it is not excluded that piracy is rare because of the strict reasons of the law, and there is also a deep sense of copyright among people.

"Well, Sister Wang just wants to be sure, then Sister Wang will ask you again if the simplified and traditional Chinese publishing rights of "The Legend of Wukong" are still in your hands?"

"Yes, it's still in my hands."

"Okay, Xiaoyao, since you call me Sister Wang, Sister Wang will naturally not treat you badly, this is to prepare a contract for you to sign a thousand words and 100 yuan, your "Wukong Biography" has a total of 100,000 words, and you can get more than 10,000 yuan for this book, I don't know what you think?"

Although the literary industry in this world is developed, it is already very good for newcomers to have a hundred words, but what kind of person is Lin Ziyao, a novel has caused him to earn more than one million, what are you kidding, selling "The Legend of Wukong" so cheaply, if we are seen by readers, we will not be able to divide the body.

After all, in his previous life, "The Legend of Wukong" was unimaginable to anyone, so he would not agree to the buyout, on the contrary, he preferred to share in the form of a share, that is, an A-level contract in the online novel contract.

"Sister Wang, although I am a rookie author and have no reputation, but I don't agree to choose the form of buyout, 10,000 yuan, do you think I will have this money?" Lin Ziyao also deliberately went to an Anima store to buy a suit with a price of about 50,000 yuan for this interview.

"That's it, or let's change it to a share, the sharing can be reduced for everyone's losses, in case "The Legend of Wukong" is not popular, it is also my loss, and your publishing house should also agree to agree to the sharing model, and I can publish a book at my own expense, I just think of your publishing house, I want to do business for you." Lin Ziyao is old-fashioned and leisurely, and he looks like I am thinking about your publishing house.

There are three types of book publishing: self-funded, buyout, and divided.

Self-funded books are published by the author to pay for the book number, editing, printing and other publishing costs, and are responsible for their own profits and losses;

The buyout is the publisher, according to the results of the negotiation with the author, to pay the author a lump sum of remuneration, but the remuneration is generally not too much, the benefit is borne by the publisher's own profit and loss, if it is good, it will generally earn;

The share is shared by the publisher and the author, and the profit is shared by both parties according to the previous negotiation ratio, and the new author can generally get between 5% ~ 15%, and those gods are about 30%, after all, they are supported by fans.

Wang Xue hesitated for a while, of course she wouldn't believe that Lin Ziyao said for the sake of her publishing house, and she was also very confident that "The Legend of Wukong" would be popular, this is the vision that the editor-in-chief of a publishing house should have, otherwise she would be able to sit in this position with her young age and no back, but it seems that it may be difficult to persuade Lin Ziyao to agree to buy out.

Lin Ziyao saw the hesitation in Wang Xue's eyes, he knew that he should add a fire at this time, and then he said: "Otherwise, Sister Wang, if you only sell 10,000 copies, I don't want your manuscript fee, if you sell 100,000 copies, I will collect 5% of the publication income of "The Legend of Wukong", if 500,000 copies I will collect 10%, if it is more than 1 million, I will receive 15%, and if it is more than 2 million copies, it will be 25%, how about it?" ”

Lin Ziyao didn't care about the 10,000 books at the beginning, and he didn't want to make small profits.

Wang Xue had the urge to agree to this form of sharing on this day, after all, there are 10,000 copies at the beginning of the don't publish income, which is not bad, and even if you really sell 1 million copies, it is not bad, although the share of 30% is a bit high, so she didn't dare to agree rashly, after saying hello to Lin Ziyao, Wang Xue took out her mobile phone and made a call.

Lin Ziyao didn't have to think about it to know that he was going to ask the publishing house for the decision, anyway, these things were not in a hurry, he picked up the coffee that had been in front of him for some time, and he didn't mind a little because it was a little cold, but he still enjoyed it a little.

After a while, Wang Xue discussed with the people of the publishing house and agreed with Lin Ziyao's suggestion, since the conditions were passed, then he signed a contract to prepare for publication, and decisively signed his three big words Lin Ziyao on the contract book.

Give a recommendation vote, otherwise the author is really unmotivated, unmotivated, hehe, the result you know.
