Section 37 Finalization of Publication
Chen Dong said, "There are a total of 7 things in the Ming Dynasty, and the manuscript for you is the first one." ”
Du Wenhai wiped it with the restaurant paper, looked at Chen Dong and said, "I want to sign these seven parts." ”
Du Wenhai's idea is to get the publishing rights of seven novels at the lowest possible price, you must know that if the book becomes popular, every 1/100 of the share point will have to be paid by the publishing house hundreds of thousands, millions of manuscript fees, and the best result is to send some money to buy out.
Chen Dong said, "Yes." ”
Du Wenhai said carefully, "No one has written this kind of book before, I don't know if it is popular with readers, I have to bear a lot of loss pressure to sign this book, all my thoughts are that I use money to buy out the copyright of this book, what do you think." ”
With his many years of experience in the publishing industry, he had a hunch that these things in the Ming Dynasty would be popular, and from a businessman's point of view, he must obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, and sending some money to buy the publishing copyright of this book will undoubtedly allow him to obtain greater benefits.
Hearing this, Chen Dong shook his head, "It's impossible to buy out, I only take a share." ”
A sale can get tens of thousands of yuan at most, and it will be more than 100,000 yuan at the top.
He knows very well how popular those things in the Ming Dynasty were in the original time and space, published in 06, and the sales exceeded 10 million copies in five years, becoming one of the classics of mainland history books, and the copyright was sold for tens of thousands of yuan, how could it be.
"Okay, according to the average author's 7/100 commission." Du Wenhai saw that the buyout could not be completed, and immediately gave an ordinary author's share.
In the publishing industry, generally speaking, the author's remuneration ranges from 7/100~14/100, of which 7/100 are ordinary authors, 8/100 are professional authors, 12/100 are celebrities such as Han Han, and 14/100 are works such as Yi Zhongtian.
Chen Dong also knows that as a newcomer in the publishing industry who is not well-known, it is very good to get 7/100.
Chen Dong put forward a proposal that would be beneficial to both parties, "Yes, but sign one first, and the next six will depend on the results of the first part, which will be beneficial to both parties." ”
"Okay." Du Wenhai thought for a while and agreed.
The two sides immediately signed a contract, limited to the first part of those things in the Ming Dynasty, Chen Dong took a 7/100 share, and the next six parts were discussed separately, under the same conditions, Changjiang Publishing House has the right of first refusal to purchase copyrights.
Du Wenhai returned to the company and began to arrange the publication of the first part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
A book from the author's hands to get the copyright to the sale must go through typesetting, three reviews and three proofreading, filming, printing, binding, and then sales, in order to sell the book well, not only the book must be of high quality, can attract readers to buy, but also vigorously publicize.
If it is a private company, it is also necessary to buy the book number from the publisher that owns the book number.
Under the urging of Du Wenhai, the process was completed in half a month, and the first batch of 10,000 copies was printed and sold in Dinghai City and surrounding cities.
-----
On June 15, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" began to be sold in major libraries in Dinghai City and surrounding cities.
Today is Sunday, Li Wenhua and Huang Xiaowan are walking on the most prosperous Ximen Pedestrian Street in Dinghai.
"I've been shopping for a day, and my feet are numb, Xiaowan, let's go to the library for a break, and by the way, let's see what good books we have been reading recently." Li Wenhua turned his head and said to Huang Xiaowan beside him.
Huang Xiaowan nodded.
The two walked into the Bowen Library.
As a boy, Li Wenhua likes to read some books that make people's blood boil, such as martial arts, war, history, etc., while Huang Xiaowan feels a little bit of her surname, describing love and love, romance novels about life and death are her favorites, and recently she has become obsessed with palace fighting novels.
Li Wenhua first started looking for the bookshelf where the martial arts novels were placed, and after looking for more than ten minutes, unfortunately, most of them had read them before, and a few new books on the shelves were not interested in reading them at the beginning.
It's no wonder that some people have sealed their pens from Jin Guliang, or after their death, martial arts novels have declined, in addition to the lack of substitution in martial arts novels, it is not related to the withering of talents in martial arts novels.
After Jin Guliang, there has never been a martial arts master, except for imitation or imitation, the same routine, this set of readers has long been tired of seeing.
Li Wenhua shook his head and left the bookshelf of martial arts novels in disappointment and came to the bookshelf of historical novels.
When he reads historical novels, he generally reads historical texts that are empty and time-traveling on the Internet, and the idle history is too heavy and boring.
Probably the owner of the bookstore also knows that few young people will buy books such as the official history of the past dynasties, so there are relatively few such books, and most of them are popular historical texts on the Internet, such as Yueguan's drunken pillow Jiangshan, returning to the Ming Dynasty to be a prince, the official residence of the master of the three rings, the Zhumen romance of Futian, etc., can be found on this bookshelf.
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"
Suddenly, a book came into his sight, and the book was placed in the most prominent place on the shelf by the shopkeeper.
Look at the name of the book, a little interesting, what is the record behind the name of the general history book, what book, what history, what record, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" This kind of name is rare, just look at the name, it is not so much a history book, but rather a popular ridicule to describe some things in the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, he would not normally read this kind of history book without overhead and time, but now that he was attracted by the title at a glance, he turned the pages of the book with curiosity.
Chapter 1: Childhood
Let's start with a dossier.
Name: Zhu Yuanzhang alias (nickname): Zhu Chongba, Zhu Guorui
……
For example, the wind, the rain, the aroma, the stars in the sky, the red light everywhere, anyway, I want to tell you that this person is different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception, when he was born, the red light was all over the ground, and there was a strange light in the house at night, so that the neighbors thought it was a fire and ran to the rescue (Ming Shilu).
"Haha!"
Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's so interesting, it turns out that history can be written like this."
A character introduction like a resume will Zhu Yuanzhang's life experience, background, and then use heavy rain, aroma, and stars in the sky to imply that Zhu Baba has an extraordinary future.
Funny, funny, and able to attract the reader's desire/desire to read it, it can be said that this book is half the battle.
Looking at it, Li Wenhua was attracted by the content of the book, and couldn't stop it, until someone patted him on the shoulder, and he turned his head to find that his girlfriend Huang Xiaowan was looking at him angrily.
"I've called you a few times, but there is no response."
Li Wenhua still had an unfinished look on his face, and sneered, "I'm sorry, Xiaowan, I'm fascinated by watching it, this book is so interesting." ”
The book is halfway over.
