Wei Xia did not fail to answer the words of this editor called Cocoon, but first checked the information of Xinchang Publishing House on the Internet, and found that this Xinchang Publishing House is not small, and has published the works of many first-class writers, and many Internet gods have also published novels in Xinchang.

Wei Xia opened the Weibo posted by the cocoon and found that he had actually interacted with several gods in the online literature industry, that is to say, they all knew each other, such as Lost Leaves, Sterling Silver Earrings, Ball King, Mengniu Sour Ru, and Su Wenmo Blossom. [Full text reading]

Wei Xia Moran, he knows these online gods, and several of them are popular gods on the station who watch them together, including urban, fantasy, and competitive.

"If I choose to publish with your publisher, how much royalty will I get?"

"Well, thirteen percent, and no matter how it sells, yours will be thirteen percent."

So much? Wei Xia was a little surprised, and he also understood that the publication of many authors' books would only be counted until they reached a certain sales volume, and the author could get paid.

Moreover, most authors can basically divide into 7 or 8 percent.

This editor called Cocoon actually promised to allocate thirteen percent to Wei Xia, then, that is to say, for the publication of "Ghost Lost Heart", their publishing house has already discussed, and they are quite confident in the sales of "Ghost Lost Heart" after its publication.

You must know that when Wei Xia used to play the old lang Weibo, he followed a celebrity called "Da Caitou", according to what he once revealed, celebrities such as Han Han and Guo Jingming can get 15% of the royalties.

Although there is still a certain gap between Wei Xia and them, in the online literature world, there are only a dozen top gods who can receive this kind of treatment.

Don't underestimate the 13 percent, you must know that even one percent is a lot of money, and it is a matter of competition for both the author and the publisher.

"It seems that Xinchang Publishing House is willing to spend money for the publishing copyright of "Ghost Lost Heart". Wei Xia is happy, an influential publishing house is optimistic about "Ghost Lost Heart", so after the ghost lost Mind starts selling, will there be a storm?

Wei Xia was full of confidence.

He sent another message to Cocoon.

"Where can I put my book on the shelves after it is published?"

The shelving here is different from the online shelf fee, but after the book is printed, it is sold in a bookstore or other place.

"Hehe, it seems that you know a lot about book publishing, well, in places like county towns and towns, we don't dare to guarantee that "Ghost Lost Heart" can be sold there, but all prefecture-level cities in China, I can assure you that "Ghost Lost Heart" can be put on sale."

No way! Wei Xia's eyes widened.

In the whole of China, there are about 291 prefecture-level cities, and a prefecture-level city has a population of several million.

Wei Xia was a little afraid to think about it.

However, he calmed down a little and sent a message to his shadow lover.

"There is an editor named Cocoon who claims to be the editor of Xinchang Publishing House, and wants the publishing copyright of "Ghost Lost Heart", what do you think?" After posting this line, Wei Xia sent a screenshot of his chat history with Cocoon.

Wei Xia signed a contract with Together, and what was authorized to them was the network copyright, and the publishing copyright was still in Wei Xia's own hands, and he could decide which publishing house he would publish in at will, but it was always good to ask the advice of the shadow lover.

After a while, the shadow lover replied to the message.

"Well, I've seen so many words in "Ghost Lost Heart", the first volume has ended, and the end is connected, just suitable for publishing a volume, I was going to contact the publishing house for you, but I didn't expect the editor of the publishing house to come to the door, this cocoon I know, she is a little famous in the circle, and several big-name writers on our website are working with them, since she found you through the old lang Weibo, and her old lang Weibo has been verified, then, this person is no problem, and it won't be a liar."

"Thank you, you have put so much effort into me, if I have time to go to the imperial capital, I will definitely find you for dinner. Give me some advice now, do you want to bargain? ”

"The royalty share is already a lot, although your popularity is very high, but after all, you are a new writer, and you have not been published and tested by the market, so you should lower your posture, and people are willing to pay such a big blood, so don't bargain. Xinchang Publishing House is good, you may have many opportunities for cooperation with them in the future, let's lay a good foundation for friendship first, if "Ghost Lost Heart" sells well, the future book will ask for royalties. ”

"Well, that's good, I'll promise him." Wei Xia closed the chat window and was about to reply to the cocoon, when the shadow lover sent another message.

"Wait."

"What's wrong?"

"You also have a lot of manuscript fees now, and you can propose that you invest some money and increase your royalties a little bit. In this way, it is a win-win situation, if "Ghost Lost Heart" is not popular, Xinchang Publishing House can also lose less. ”

“ok。” After Wei Xia replied to the shadow lover, he sent a message to the cocoon: "I agree, however, I have a request. ”

"Say what you want, and I will agree to what I can do."

"That's right, I want to invest a million in the publication of my novel, and then I hope you can increase my royalties by more than ten percent."

"This won't work." Cocoon refused: "Either the writer publishes at his own expense, or our publishing house has full contract at the expense, and there is no precedent for the writer to invest a part." ”

When Wei Xia saw what he said, he immediately smiled, there is no such precedent, how is it possible?

"It seems that Xinchang Publishing House attaches great importance to my "Ghost Lost Heart" and wants to make more money from "Ghost Lost Heart", and is unwilling to let me eat it." Wei Xia understands that one million is nothing in the eyes of Xinchang Publishing House, and even if they lose it, they can easily bear this kind of loss.

But where do they get that confidence? Could it be that "Ghost Lost Heart" will definitely become a hit and become another "Tomb Robbery Notes"?

Wei Xia couldn't figure it out, although he was extremely confident in his fourth-level writing ability, and he was also very confident in "Ghost Lost Heart", but where did the publisher get the confidence?

Wei Xia didn't know that two days ago, the general manager of Xinchang Publishing House suddenly found the editor Cocoon and said to him: "You must take this "Ghost Lost Heart" for me, and you can give him a maximum of 13% of the royalty share, but it can't be more, this "Ghost Lost Heart" I am very optimistic, I have a hunch that it will blow a storm and become the second "Tomb Robbery Notes", and this writer who is destined to die alone may also become the second third uncle of the Southern School.

We rejected the third uncle of the southern faction last time, and we have missed that opportunity, so that the old rival Jinghua Publishing House picked up the cheap, this time we must win "Ghost Lost Heart", we can't let them take the lead! This task is up to you, and it must be completed. ”

After speaking, the general manager left, saying that he wanted to finish the rest of "Ghost Lost Heart......

If Wei Xia knew, he would definitely sigh again, the fourth-level writing ability is really too strong, and even the boss of a large publishing house can conquer it.

"Well, in that case, then thirteen percent, when will the contract be signed."

"Well, which city do you live in?"

"Momoe City."

"Okay, I just have something to go to Taojiang City tomorrow to deal with, let's make an appointment at one o'clock tomorrow at noon, and I'll call you when I arrive."

"Okay." In this way, the appointment signing date was finalized, and Wei Xia ended the conversation with Cocoon, full of anticipation.

What a wonderful thing to surpass "Tomb Robbery Notes".

Wei Xia decided to move towards this goal.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" Wei Xia knew that this book was popular all over China back then, creating a stream of tomb robbery, and the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" "The World Sings" and became the ancestor of tomb robbery, the two books jointly opened the "era of tomb robbery" in the Chinese popular novel industry, and various imitation works emerged in endlessly.

However, it is undeniable that the popularity of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can't catch up with the ghost blowing the lamp.

Like "Ghost Lost Heart", "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was also serialized on the Internet at the beginning, and although it sold well on the Internet, it was after the publication that really made this novel prosper.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" can be called a masterpiece in the Chinese publishing industry in recent years, occupying the top of the major book sales charts in the country for a long time, and has been enthusiastically sought after by millions of fans.

Moreover, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was made into an online quarterly drama, co-starred by Li Yifeng, the national male god who is sought after by thousands of girls, and Tang Yan, the god of otaku and goddesses, and is enthusiastically sought after by tens of millions of fans.

If "Ghost Lost Heart" surpasses the tomb robbery notes, then what kind of grand occasion will it be, Wei Xia is a little afraid to think about it, and then it must be appreciation, hatred, and RMB flying all over the sky.

"Life is really full of challenges and expectations to make it more interesting."

……

Wei Xia just wanted to quit the old lang Weibo, but saw that Han Mengying was online.

Han Mengying, a smile appeared at the corner of Wei Xia's mouth, if it weren't for this chick to help promote it, it would have taken a while for "Ghost Lost Heart" to become popular quickly.

Wei Xia didn't know that his book fans had established eight fan groups for him, and Han Mengying was one of the administrators of a group, and Han Mengying had now also gotten the bar of 'destined to die alone', and he didn't know that Han Mengying did not hesitate to throw in more than 100,000 yuan in the original reward turmoil.

"Hey! Big star, how are you doing lately? Wei Xia sent Han Mengying a smiling expression.

Wei Xia remembered seeing the entertainment news about her a few days ago, it seemed that she was making a commercial film with a large investment and participated in the pre-promotion of that film.
