Chapter 19: The Publication Storm
All the data shows that now is the best time to publish "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo"!
Originally, Zhao Dongliang wanted to publish "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" when "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was questioned a few days ago, but after weighing it for a long time, Zhao Dongliang still chose to give up, because after all, if "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is banned, Red Sun Culture will face serious losses.
Now this problem has been solved, and the appearance of Li Yating has brought Fuyao's prestige to a new height, so publishing Fuyao's book at this time is definitely a big profit!
The inherent readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" plus the new readers of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", coupled with Li Yating's publicity, it is difficult not to be popular.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dongliang immediately picked up the phone and dialed Lin Xiao's phone number.
Lin Xiao's number was obtained by him through private channels a long time ago, and a publishing predator like him, no matter who he wanted to get his phone number, it was not a problem.
Red Sun Culture Group is the largest publishing group in China, accounting for almost 40% of the entire Chinese publishing market! Its huge strength is definitely the strongest, in China, as long as it is a book favored by the Red Sun Culture Group, it can reach the best-selling level, the most inferior is the sales of 50,000 copies upwards, more than 10 million copies, is the existence of those small publishing houses that are satisfied with the sales of 180,000 at every turn.
The top ten best-selling authors under the Red Sun Culture Group are the best best-selling authors, among which Zhou Duyu is the first best-selling author in China! His "Interstellar Journey" was not only a hit in China, but also exported abroad, reaching an astonishing sales of 30 million copies worldwide, and was also made into a movie and released worldwide.
And Zhao Dongliang is very optimistic about Lin Xiao's potential, he thinks that Lin Xiao will be able to reach the height of Zhou Duyu in the future, so he wants to sign Lin Xiao to the Red Sun Culture Group.
Therefore, he did not arrange for the contracted editor to make this call, but made it himself.
The phone was quickly connected, and Lin Xiao's voice came: "Hello, who is it?" ”
Zhao Dongliang had a smile on his face, and said with a full temperament: "Hello Mr. Fuyao, it's a pleasure to talk to you, I am the editor-in-chief of the Red Sun Group, Zhao Dongliang." ”
Zhao Dongliang's position is editor-in-chief, but he is the most powerful person except for the chairman! He is in charge of the entire Red Sun Group's publishing range, large and small, and his status above 10,000 people under one person has allowed him to develop the temperament of a superior, and his words and demeanor always reveal strong confidence and calmness.
"Mr. Zhao, hello, I don't know why I contacted me this time?" Although Lin Xiao knew the other party's intention when he reported his home, he still asked politely.
"Our group is very interested in your two books, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo", I wonder if the copyright of these two books is still in your hands?" Zhao Dongliang said.
"The copyright is still in my hands, but I want to know your company's position and contribution fees for these two books." Lin Xiao was walking around the park with Joniel, and at the moment Joniel was buying marshmallows not far from the front, so he wanted to end the conversation quickly, so he went straight to the point.
Zhao Dongliang said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Fuyao is really straightforward, Zhao likes such a refreshing person, since you said so, then I will tell you clearly, your two books we give the positioning is to focus on publicity, but not heavy publicity, I hope you don't mind, because your two books themselves are not low, in addition, what we value is you as a person, as long as you are willing to sign a contract with our Red Sun Culture Group, as for the remuneration, you can rest assured, you will be able to achieve your satisfaction." I wonder what you think? ”
Zhao Dongliang saw Lin Xiao directly talk about the issue of manuscript fees, and he became more confident, he likes the author to pay attention to the manuscript fee, because the Red Sun Group can give the highest manuscript fee in China, which no one can do, as long as you like money, you can't escape the temptation of the red sun! So he told Lin Xiao his purpose directly, and he believed that Lin Xiao would definitely choose Red Sun.
Lin Xiao frowned, he didn't like Zhao Dongliang's extremely confident tone, as if everything was under control, and he also didn't like signing an author's contract with the Red Sun Culture Group, which was equivalent to a deed of sale, he liked to sign books without signing people.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I think you misunderstood." Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Nier, who was holding a marshmallow from the front with a smile on her face, and said into the phone: "I don't want to sign an author's contract, as for the strength of publicity, I don't really ask for it, but I won't consider signing an author's contract." ”
Zhao Dongliang was silent for a while, he didn't expect Lin Xiao to refuse, because the Red Sun Culture Group is a place that many authors dream of, and they can't get in if they squeeze their heads, but Lin Xiao refused without thinking about it! He didn't expect Lin Xiao to answer so quickly! He was a little unresponsive for a while.
However, Zhao Dongliang is a good person after all, but after a short silence, he smiled and said: "Mr. Fuyao, it is undeniable that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo" are very good novels, but we prefer your people, and publishing these two books is just a gift for you." ”
"Huh?" Lin Xiao's face turned a little cold: "What does Mr. Zhao mean is that if I don't sign the author's contract, you won't publish these two books?" ”
"That's right, Mr. Fuyao," Zhao Dongliang was still full of confidence in his tone: "I know that there is no shortage of publishers in Mr. Fuyao, but I am sure that if it is published in other publishing houses, not only will the manuscript fee be much less than ours, but also the sales will be quite different, because we will launch new books from time to time, you know, our company has a lot of excellent authors, and when the time comes, it will definitely affect sales, if you are in our Red Sun Group, there will be no such conflict, because they are all one company." At the same time, the issuance of books does not affect each other. ”
Listening to Zhao Dongliang's words, Lin Xiao's face turned completely cold, and even his tone was not so friendly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I don't think we have a chance to cooperate, it's a pity, you have violated my bottom line, I think our conversation will end here." After speaking, no matter what Zhao Dongliang's reaction was, he had already hung up the phone first.
He hates people threatening him the most, and this situation makes him very insecure! He likes to have his destiny in his own hands! Threatening me with a sales block? Well, I'll fight you!
At this time, Qiao Nier ran over with a big marshmallow in her hand, and saw that Lin Xiao's face was a little not good, so she hurriedly asked, "Lin Xiao, what's wrong with you?" I see you were on the phone just now, is there something wrong? ”
Lin smiled and took Qiao Nier's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's nothing, it's just a very annoying fly......"
