"The only person who can touch my soul in the depths of my heart is you!"

"Even if everything in the world is gone, our love will never be gone."

"I want to love you even if I get hurt, I want to love you even if I feel hard"

"In winter, buy a very small bed, don't turn on the heating, and sleep tightly together."

"Heaven only gives pain to those who can hold on, because they firmly believe that the end of suffering is hope!"

"'How good is it that I'm your brother', 'Then we can't get married', 'If I can save you, it's enough to watch you for the rest of my life.'" ”

"This is the love story of Q4 that you highly recommend?" Closing the manuscript, the president of Xiongjin Publishing House got up and rubbed his sour eyes that had been looking at it for a long time, and then said, "Since you think it's good, then go and get in touch with the author according to the address written on it, isn't there no record with the contract department?" Since you're a newcomer, you should know how to do it in terms of royalties! ”

"Yes!" The woman nodded.

"Then you can go, you have to do a good job in sales this quarter, and you have to be careful in publicity!"

"I see, father!"

"Then there you go!" After saying that, he waved his hand, sat back on the sofa, closed his eyes and recuperated.

The young woman gently opened the door of the office, fearing that her actions would disturb her father, so she closed the door again, and only after leaving the office for more than ten meters did she take out her mobile phone and call according to the information left on the manuscript.

After waiting for more than twenty seconds, when she thought no one answered, a clear male voice came from the phone, and it didn't sound very old, "Are you Jeon Woo Xi?" ”

"Yes, I am! Who are you? ”

"Hello, I'm Quan Youlin from Xiongjin Publishing House, and I want to talk to you about the contract for the manuscript you submitted."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Quan Youlin drove to a café near the sBs TV station, although the food stalls on the street were full of people, but the café was empty of customers, and the bored clerks were playing with their phones on their seats one by one.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the wind chimes at the door rang, making a pleasant sound, and the lazy clerks were shocked by the sound, and they all got up and looked at the visitors.

"Hello and welcome! Are you alone or do you have other friends? The male clerk stepped forward and asked.

"I'll wait for someone!"

Although the time on the phone was a quarter past seven, it was seven and a half past now, and there was no one else in the coffee shop except for himself, and there were pedestrians and couples coming and going outside the window.

As a member of the group who grew up under the strict education requirements of her father, Kwon Youlin Ping Suri is very concerned about the concept of punctuality, if a person can't even do the most basic observance of time, then this person's impression in her mind will decline.

The hands on the dial are getting closer and closer to a quarter past seven, Quan Youlin looked out the window, raised her hand to look at the time, took out the money from her bag and put it on the table, and was ready to check out and leave.

Suddenly, the wind chimes at the door rang again, Quan Youlin raised her head, and slowly walked into the café was a man of her own age, tall, wearing a short-sleeved vest with four large pockets that photographers often see in TV and movies, without losing his demeanor at all.

'Sure enough, he is handsome, and he is so capricious in his clothes? Quan Youlin thought so in her heart.

The visitor looked at the room of the Yiquan Cafe, and walked straight to Quan Youlin, who was sitting by the window, and before she could show a surprised expression on her face, the man had already stretched out his right hand to introduce himself.

"Hello, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae, you called me in the morning, right?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Let me introduce you, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae, my pen name is Jeon Woo, and the name of the novel I wrote is "Lovestory Inharvard", which I often call "Harvard Love Story."

Kwon Youlin looked at Zheng Hyuk-jae sitting in front of her, her head was obviously a little insufficient, not because of nymphomania, but because the contrast between that love work and the person in front of her was too cute.

Before she called, she actually agreed that the author of this romance novel must be a woman, otherwise there would be no way to describe the characters of the male and female protagonists in the book so delicately, until the moment the phone was connected, she until her thoughts were shattered.

"Uh, Jung Hyuk Jae? Can you take the liberty of asking about your profession? Quan Youlin asked curiously.

"I'm a screenwriter and director!" Jung Hyuk-jae replied truthfully, this time in exchange for the surprised look and incredulous gaze of the woman in front of him.

"Oh!"

The woman in front of her only sighed, if it weren't for Jung Hyuk Jae's reminder, it is likely that she would continue to sigh.

"Can I get started?" Jung Hyuk-jae called a glass of boiled water and reminded him that he left the crew and rushed over, although there were only a few shots left today, but when he was filming one day, Jung Hyuk-jae still felt that he would go back to encourage and reward the staff who had been busy for nearly a month.

"I'm Quan Youlin from the Marketing Contract Department of Xiongjin Publishing House, and I'm very happy to see you!" As she spoke, Kwon Youlin stretched out her smooth and delicate hand and shook it with Jung Hyuk-jae.

"Hello!"

"That's right, we at Xiongjin Publishing House believe that your book has a certain publishing potential and is quite suitable for the current readership, so first of all, do you have all the copyright of this book?"

"Yes!" Jung Hyuk-jae replied.

"This is the best book of the year published by our publishing house, and every year at least one of them will be in the top 10 of the national book sales list, or even more and higher!" Quan Youlin put out her company's cards, hoping to attract the other party.

Jung Hyuk-jae is not a rookie who has just come out of the house, and he will not be frightened by the long list of honors she said, in fact, what he is most concerned about is the royalties of this book, and how much royalties can the Bearjin Publishing House in front of him give him, this is the question that Zheng Hyuk-jae is most concerned about.

"This is a printed contract, you can read it first, and if you have any questions, you can ask me!" Kwon Youlin took out a contract from her bag and put it in front of Jung Hyuk-jae.

The contract is not thin, there are more than a dozen pieces of paper, and the terms in it list the problems that Party A and Party B may encounter at any time during the publication process, and attach explanations.

The first few pages of the contract Jung Hyuk-jae just skimmed through it, after all, he is not a professional legal person, even if the publishing house wants to make a ghost in the contract, he will never let him find out.

Jung Hyuk-jae flipped to the final terms of payment of the manuscript fee, and a line of small words was clearly copied on the paper, and the benefits were not as tempting as he had thought.

In terms of royalties, Xiongjin Publishing House is only willing to pay 5%. What Jung Hyuk-jae knows is the average royalty of publishing houses in recent years, generally speaking, the royalty is between 3%~15%. Generally speaking, the royalty of the first book of new writers is not very high, and gradually they will gradually increase the royalty due to the improvement of their own level and the increase of readers.

At a 5% royalty price, Xiongjin Publishing House wants to take it from itself, which is almost impossible. On the issue of royalties, Xiongjin will not consider this issue until the price is at least 8% before Jung Hyuk-jae considers this issue.

"What is this?"

Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the content of the contract again, what the hell is the 'film and television adaptation right'?

not only wants to lower his royalties, but also wants to take away the film and television adaptation rights from his own hands, how can there be such a good thing in this world?

5% royalty, and I want to take away the film and television adaptation rights together, I have to say that Xiongjin Publishing House thinks too well!

Quan Youlin saw that he was fascinated by the contract, and waited for a while before asking, "Do you have any questions about this contract?" ”

Zheng Hyukzai didn't hesitate when he heard her words, and directly pointed to the terms written on the contract and said, "I want 8% of the royalties, and the 'film and television adaptation rights' of the novel must be in my hands, this is my request!" ”

Quan Youlin couldn't help frowning, 8% royalty? Three points at once? And film and television adaptation rights are not included in it?

"I'm sorry, I need to call and ask!"
