Chapter 150: Working Together Again

With the book "Harvard Love Story", the name of "Quanyu" can be regarded as famous in the entire writers' circle, and nothing else, only because of the book's eventual sales.

In South Korea, reading books and newspapers is considered to be a very beneficial thing, so whether it is a publication, a bookstore rented in the neighborhood, or a newsstand in front of the community, the business is very good.

It is precisely because of this that the life of a writer in Korea is also quite nourishing.

Of course, this nourishment is also relative, after all, no matter which industry belongs to the structure of the 'pyramid', there will always be a considerable number of people who belong to the bottom of the pyramid, and Jung Hyuk-jae has successfully ranked among the middle and upper echelons of the writer's pyramid with "Harvard Love Story" alone and with nearly one million sales.

In fact, since "Harvard Love Story", many publishing houses have contacted Jung Hyuk-jae, from concessions in royalties to up to 10 million signing fees, many publishing houses have given him very tempting conditions, with the purpose of having one, that is, to publish the next book in their publishing house.

What's more, the royalty has been raised to 20%, even Zheng Hyukzai was a little surprised when he heard it, you must know that 30% means that he takes away almost one-third of the publication's price, and after the publishing house goes out of the labor, design, printing and publicity, the publishing house can earn very little, two-thirds of it can't make any money at all, and even if there is, it's hard money.

However, after Zheng Hyuk-jae inspected the publishing house in their mouth, he dispelled this idea early, a small publishing house of less than 100 square meters, how can there be any publicity resources, no wonder Haikou can boast of 30% royalties, if you really hand over the book to them to sell, Zheng Hyuk-jae is really crazy!

Leave it to them to promote and distribute, and it is unknown whether the final sales volume can exceed 10,000, unless he is really crazy.

Among these publishing houses, Xiongjin Publishing House should be regarded as one of them, whether it is the scale or the publicity resources, it belongs to the most complete among them, holding the coffee and looking at Quan Youlin in front of him, not saying a word, quietly waiting for her response.

After listening to Zheng Hezai's words, Quan Youlin had already fallen into deep thought, to say that the Three Provinces Publishing House gave 15% of the royalties, which Quan Youlin believed a little, but if it was really like what Zheng Hyukzai said, the Three Provinces Publishing House did not make any requests, and she did not believe it 200%.

The publishing house is not a welfare institution. Nor is it a big nanny for writers. It must be considered for the interests of his own company, 15% royalty can be said to be a very high level in this industry, and even now, Quan Youlin has never seen some of the benefits in the distribution.

Although he knew that Zheng Hyukjae was taking out the three provincial publishing houses to raise the price. But Kwon Youlin had to face it with great spirits, knowing that since Jung Hyuk-jae dared to say so. It also shows that he has no worries, who knows who will be the foil of the result in the end, it may be the Three Provinces Publishing House. It is also possible that Kumazu Press.

Jung Hyuk-jae, who is firmly seated in Diaoyutai, must be thinking about the next choice, and the publishing house must be produced between Xiongjin and the three provinces. As for who is the final winner, it depends on Quan Youlin's performance next.

Quan Youlin is also thinking about how to ensure the interests of the company on the premise of ensuring it. The royalties were raised slightly, but they could not take into account the offer made to him by the publishing houses of the three provinces.

15% royalty may be available. But there must be a lot of ancillary conditions, otherwise it is really as Jung Hyuk-jae said, '15% royalty, conditions or something'. He should have signed a contract with that side a long time ago, where would it be his turn to get Xiongjin Publishing House?

When it comes to partnerships, everything is empty talk in the face of interests!

“12%!”

Jung Hyuk-jae was overjoyed, but he still said loudly: "15%!" ”

Quan Youlin immediately shook her head and retorted, "15% is impossible, if the Three Provinces Publishing House really comes up with this price, then Hejae Xi might as well go and sign a contract with that side, this coffee will be considered as if I invited it!" ”

Listening to Kwon Youlin's words, Jung Hyuk-jae also knew that 15% was her bottom line, and she couldn't push it too hard, "14%!" ”

“12%!”

“14%”

“12%”

Zheng Hyuk Jae clenched 14% and did not let go, and Kwon Youlin also clung to 12%, you must know that every extra 1% represents the last benefit of the company, at this point, even a handsome guy sitting opposite can't change her inner insistence!

"14%, you must know that this novel will be adapted into a TV series next, and when the time comes, under the stimulation of the TV series, the overall sales volume will definitely have a big increase!"

Hearing this, Quan Youlin shook her head vigorously, and retorted: "Although I know that the ratings of "Love at Harvard" are good, and the ratings of "New Staff" that you recently filmed also broke the 35% ratings mark, but I will not gamble with the unknowns of the future!" ”

In the face of Kwon Youlin's caution, Jung Hyuk-jae is also right, in fact, the Three Provinces Publishing House really has a lot of rules and conditions as she thought, which is one of the reasons why Jung Hyuk-jae still came to negotiate with Kwon Youlin.

But now that they have started to negotiate, they naturally want to pursue greater benefits for themselves.

"Is that good?"

"What?" Kwon Youlin looked at the smiling Jung Hyuk-jae in front of her with a cautious and puzzled expression, although his smile was very warm, but I don't know why, she always felt that there was some ulterior secret hidden behind this smile, and she was plotting something against herself!

"How about royalties tied to ratings?" Jung Hyuk-jae proposed.

Although Kwon Young-rim didn't understand what Jung Hyuk-jae meant by 'linking royalties to ratings', she still listened to what he said next.

"Isn't it true that the adaptation of a novel into a TV series will boost overall sales?"

Quan Youlin listened to what he said, and couldn't help nodding, this is the actual situation, you must know that when "Love at Harvard" was broadcast, the novel version of "Harvard Love Story" also sold no less than 50,000 copies within a few weeks because of the broadcast of the TV series.

"12% of the royalty is the base price, if the ratings of the adapted TV series break 30%, then the royalty from the sales of the novel after that will increase by 13%, if the ratings break 40%, the price will be increased to 14%; If the ratings break 50%, then the royalty price will be raised to 20%! ”

When Quan Youlin heard the royalty increase from 14% to 20%, the first reaction in her mind was to refuse, but the prerequisite for hearing this sentence was that the ratings were 50%, and she was a lot calmer.

Although she thinks so, Quan Youlin has to consider that if the ratings really break 50%, it will definitely be a disaster for herself.

I can actually agree to this condition, but I also have to add a few prerequisites, such as the upper limit of the number of books sold in each file, otherwise if the ratings of the TV series really break 50%, there will definitely be times when she cries, and some directors of the company should also criticize their own actions.

"The conditions can be agreed, but the upper limit of all books sold is 100,000, and within three years, under the same conditions, Xiongjin Publishing House has the priority to publish the right!"

Hearing Quan Youlin's words, Zheng Hyuk Jae was actually happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained his due calmness and composure, and after shaking hands with Quan Youlin and saying goodbye, the signing time of the contract has also been set, just in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Jung Hyuk-jae also left, and a few days later he was going to transfer to a new crew for filming, so naturally he didn't have much free time.

Sitting in the café, Kwon Youlin's eyes were only staring at the back of Jung Hyuk-jae leaving, the light in her eyes turned slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a charming smile, causing the waiters in the café to squirm up and down, and swallow saliva vigorously.

The approaching night engulfed Jung Hyuk Jae's back until his back completely melted into the darkness, and Kwon Yoo Ri took his gaze back and looked at the draft version of the novel on the table.

"50% of the ratings, you really dare to amplify your words!" While thinking like this, Quan Youlin shook her head.

Just now, Kwon Youlin also took a few looks, flipped through dozens of pages, and had to admit that this is a good work, if it is adapted into a TV series, it can also become a hot drama, and the 30% rating will definitely not run, as for the 50% that Jung Hyuk Jae said?

Hehe, forget it, it's better to leave him a thought.

Thinking like this, Quan Youlin put down the draft in her hand, took out her wallet from her bag and prepared to check out.

"Waiter checkout!"

Three or four male waiters fought a little, and a tall waiter ran over with a smile on his face, "This young lady, that gentleman has already settled the account just now!" ”

"What?"

Quan Youlin was stunned, and then laughed, her face was bright and moving, which caused the waiters to be stunned.

'It's quite a gentleman's! ’

While thinking like this, Quan Youlin cleaned up the desktop and put the draft version of the novel in her bag, and the few printed black fonts on the cover were particularly conspicuous - "My Name is Jin Sanshun" (to be continued. )
