The next day, Chang Zheng was invited by Zhou Congshan to go to the headquarters of Fenghua.com to sign an agreement related to the transfer of the substantive copyright of "Infinite Terror".

Chang Zheng carefully read the agreement, and there was no problem, so he signed it with a stroke of the pen.

According to the agreement, Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House will publish a set of four books of "Infinite Terror", this set of books adopts a 16-open offset paper paperback version, and the retail price of the first printing version in the market is initially set at 82 yuan / set.

For every set of "Infinite Terror" sold, the publisher will pay Fenghua.com and Chang Zheng a 12% share. Fenghua and Changzheng will share 12% of the sales of this one, and then divide it twice, Fenghuawang will take three, and Chang Zheng will take seven.

If the final selling price is set at 82 yuan, then for every set of "Infinite Terror" sold, Chang Zheng can theoretically charge six yuan and eight cents (in fact, it may be lower, because the wholesale price has to be considered). So he has to be like Zheng Zha, work hard to live, and the longer he lives, the more he earns.

In the industry, the share given by the publisher generally ranges from 5% to 20%. 5% belongs to the settling-in allowance of the newlyweds' baby, and 20% is the exclusive benefit of the gods. Of course, the exact amount you can get needs to be discussed with the publisher by the author himself or the contracted website.

For online novels, the bargaining chips for price increase are the author's fame, the quality of the book, the data of the book on the Internet, and the popularity and clicks of the serial website. Serialized on the country's No. 1 website such as Fenghua.com, it has a certain advantage.

Chang Zheng can take 12% multiplied by 70%, and he can be considered satisfied. After all, this is the first book under the pseudonym of the Return of the Heavens. Even if you sell a few thousand sets, you will have an income of tens of thousands, and you can eat a big meal for a month at Chen Jiaqiang's high-end cafeteria. And Chang Zheng himself estimates that there must be more than a few thousand sets sold, right?

Gu Long's first book "Sky Sword", the royalty income was only enough for him to pay half a year's rent. However, Gu Daxia himself said that this book is a broken book, written and played...... He was not very satisfied with the income from the book, and when he was young, he made a living by writing books due to poor living, but he often transferred the copyright of his works to booksellers at a very low price or even for free. He is the person who is most like Chu Liuxiang.

I don't know how much money was sold for the copyright of Jin Daxia's first book "Book of Swords and Enmity", and he has his own newspaper and publishing house. However, in 1975, the first printing edition of "Book of Swords and Enmity" was released, and at this time, it has been 20 years since the completion of "Book of Swords and Enmity", and Jin Daxia has also closed his pen at this time.

So Chang Zheng is more satisfied, the first book can be sold at a good price after four months of writing, why not be satisfied?

Of course, there is also a form of transfer, which is a buyout. The publishing house paid Fenghua.com and Chang Zheng a sum of money at a one-time rate of 1,000 words to exclusively buy out the publishing rights of "Infinite Terror". In the future, whether this book sells well or badly will not matter to Chang Zheng.

If you are short of money to spend, you can choose to buy it out and immediately use a sum of money to solve your life problems. Authors who are not too short of money generally choose to share. Because prices will continue to rise. Five years, eight years, and more than ten years later, the retail price of the second, third, and N editions will definitely be more than 82 yuan. Therefore, for the author who takes the share, the longer he lives, the more he earns, and the sales price and total sales volume of the physical book will increase over time.

"Finishing the book is the king, and a divine book can support you for a lifetime. Why was I so stupid? There is a book that writes almost a million words and is also a eunuch, hey. It's good to have an ending, and it's good to finish the book hastily. Maybe a bookseller has fallen blind to my book? Wouldn't it be nice to change it if you like me? No one is going to publish a book of eunuchs. ”

Chang Zheng left the headquarters of Fenghua.com, lamenting the ** years of his youth. The most important thing about him was the second book, when he was 19 years old. This book was written for 500,000 words, and he had already signed a contract when he was 50,000 words, he didn't write an outline, and when he opened the book, he relied on a momentary inspiration, and when the inspiration ran out, he couldn't write. had to enter the palace, and his declaration of entering the palace was: "When the male protagonist woke up, he found that it was Nan Ke's dream, so he chopped wood." End of book. ”

After Nan Ke dreamed, he was sprayed like a tuo xiang by readers. Rao is also considered to be mentally strong, and he actually continued to open a third book under the same name, and continued his writing career a week later.

In the afternoon, Chang Zheng had a meeting with Editor-in-Chief Li and Xiaoma Editor of Nangang Literature and Art Publishing House at the café where he drank coffee yesterday.

The meeting lasted more than two hours, and the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on the revision and delivery of the manuscript of "Infinite Terror." When an online article serialized on the Internet is converted into a physical book for publication, it must be reviewed, corrected, and modified by the author.

Those egg pain PS must be removed, and if there are any typos, they must be checked one by one. Including punctuation marks must use the specification, ellipsis is an ellipse, must be six dots "......", not five, not seven, not a string of "......". In general, only one exclamation point is used to avoid "!!", "!!! ”、“！！？？ and so on.

The typesetting should also be revised and serialized on the Internet, considering the majority of mobile phone users, the basic paragraph of the Standing Campaign is two to three sentences, at most five sentences. Because there are too many words in a paragraph, it is displayed on the mobile phone as a full screen, which greatly affects the reading experience of mobile readers.

But the physical book is different, there should not be too many paragraphs on a page, this is a novel, not a collection of poems, so Chang Zheng should be typeset and integrated.

Anyway, rewriting is quite tangled, and for many authors, rewriting is more time-consuming than writing. But since it is a physical book, it must be strictly required.

For many readers, physical books are a symbol of knowledge and a manifestation of authority, and the requirements for the content of the book will be stricter. In the form of online serialization, the requirements are not so high, some typos are acceptable, and the update is fast.

After the manuscript is revised and delivered to the publishing house, it can finally be put on the market after three reviews, typesetting and cover design, entry, numbering, film output, printing and binding, and book storage. At least after the New Year, the physical book of "Infinite Terror" can meet the majority of book friends.

The publication process has been negotiated. In the evening, Chang Zheng invited Editor-in-Chief Li and Editor Pony to dinner. In the future, it will be edited by Pony and Chang Zheng.

In the following week, Chang Zheng was very busy, and his daily work was to revise the original manuscript of "Infinite Terror". When I was tired of revising, I wrote the outline of "Evil Spirit", and I had the right to adjust.

Online, there are more and more works with unlimited streams. There is already a prototype of a genre, and after half a year or a year, when some excellent finished works come out, this genre can be recognized by the public.

This world is also called "Infinite Flow", which is the name given by the empty talk base. Taken from the first two words of "Infinite Terror". Chang Zheng is also known as the originator of the infinite stream, and some new writers of the infinite stream began to worship him as the ancestor master, and often came to the "Infinite Terror" book review area to burn incense and worship the ancestor master, asking the ancestor to appear and bless him. "Infinite Terror" has also become a must-read textbook for infinite stream authors.

The vicissitudes of life, only in a moment.

Two months ago, Chang Zheng was also attacked by the Moralists, demanding that he take "Infinite Terror" off the shelves. Nowadays, no one dares to touch "Infinite Horror" anymore, and if you can't get along with "Infinite Horror", you can't get along with the whole Infinity.

No one is going to spray Changzheng anymore, because today is January 1, 2289, and the return of the sky has been directly upgraded from level 1 to level 8 author, minor god level. This is based on monthly passes and subscriptions, which are automatically calculated by the system.

Secondly, the number of the return of the sky won the title of the rookie king of the year, and he had 7,000 more monthly passes than the second place. Under the pen name of the return of the sky, there is an extra line of small golden-red characters in italics, and after special treatment, these words are golden and blinding: "The Most Popular Newcomer Writer of the Year 2288".

He is also a god, and he is also called a king. The young man had no choice but to leave gloomily. Chang requisitioned his own practical actions to give the most effective counterattack to those enemies. You want me to die? Lao Tzu wants to show you the scenery of life.
