Chapter 161: Small Gathering (1)

There is a banner on the innermost wall of the signing area, and the words on the banner are "Super popular beauty writer Meiju live signing meeting".

A table rests beneath the banner with a red cloth on the top. Behind the table sat a woman with long straight black hair and a shawl, bangs on her forehead, and a beige silk scarf around her neck, which was the juice of beauty.

Mei Ju, who usually doesn't wear glasses, has a pair of big black-framed glasses today, her melon seed face is not big, and a pair of glasses occupies almost half of her face.

There are book lovers in line in front of Mei Ju Ju, and she is smiling and signing autographs for book fans.

Chang Zheng followed behind the team of book fans, and he smiled in his heart, yes, Mei Juju, she has become a super popular beauty writer, and she is louder than the title I have ever returned from. The first time I signed here, there was no such thing as "super popularity".

In fact, Chang Zheng also knows in his heart that Meijuju is not "super popular" now. Engage in signing activities to build momentum. Popularity is created in waves.

After a few minutes of queuing, it was almost time for Chang Zheng to accept the signature of Mei Ju Juice.

Mei Ju was bowing her head to sign the book fan in front of Chang Zheng. After the book lover left with the book, Chang Zheng stepped forward and put a set of "Queen" in his hand on the signing table, and he smiled at Mei Juju: "Miss Zeng, a super popular beauty writer, please sign me, I am your brainless fan." ”

After Mei Ju saw Chang Zheng, her face showed a look of surprise and surprise, she pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "Cangshen, why are you here?" ”

"Calm, I'm a book lover today, not a god. You're a well-known author now, you're signing books, and you're both smiling and a little tsundere when it comes to book lovers. This is what I have learned from dozens of book signings. Chang Zheng opened the first book of "The Queen" and turned to the title page, "Sign me, City Queen." Please give you a cheer before you eat. ”

Mei Ju smiled slightly, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks. She picked up the pen and signed her pen name on the title page, and then handed the book to Chang Zheng, "Thank you for your support, the support of readers is the infinite motivation for my creation." ”

"That's right. What time does the signing end? Chang Zheng took the book back and asked.

Mei Juju: "Ten minutes left." ”

Chang Zheng: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside." After the signing meeting, we went to have a meal together, and I called Ah Feng, he will come later. ”

Mei Ju nodded: "Yes." ”

"Hey! Isn't this the god of the cang? A young woman behind Mei Ju said suddenly.

Chang Zheng saw a young woman with a certificate around her neck, and he estimated that the woman belonged to a publishing house. The cover of "The Queen" reads "Songzhou University Press," and the woman may be a staff member of this publishing house. Today's book signing event should be organized by the publishing house and the book store of the Ancient Book Collection. The staff of the publishing house are industry insiders, and it is normal for them to recognize the true body of Cangshen.

"Oh. No, no, I'm not a god. I'm just an otaku reader, and I'm here to find the goddess to sign today, she's a god, a god of beauty. God of beauty, I wish your books a great sale, and I also wish new books more popular, bye-bye! Chang Zheng took the book and hurried away. The book lovers behind him are already watching him.

Chang Zheng left the signing area and walked to the West Second Gate of Qianguhui Mall, where he sent a text message to Mei Ju: "After your signing is over, the West Second Gate will meet." ”

At seven o'clock. Mei Ju came out, Chang Zheng made a taxi with her, and went to the place where she ate.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and Chang Zheng asked her, "What is the first signing session today?" How does it feel? ”

Mei Ju took a long breath: "I did two games in Songzhou." There were two games in Xingyang, and today is the fifth. I feel so tired! The publisher and I arrived at Nangang this morning, and as soon as we got off the plane, we went straight to this signing site. One sign is a whole day. There is no rest. Signing is much more tiring than writing. ”

"That's how it all came here, hehe. It's good to sign habits. Chang Zheng said, "You made the entity of "Queen" for Songzhou University Press, right? Do you take a share of the sale? How much are the royalties? ”

Juice removed her black-rimmed glasses and put them in the case, and she blinked and didn't speak.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked so directly, income is personal privacy. I'll just ask. Chang Zheng said.

"Oh! No! Mei Ju quickly shook her head, "I was thinking about it." How much is the royalty? Oops, I can't remember, five percent or six or seven? ”

"This is your creative income, Miss Zeng, you can't even remember how much money you receive? You're such a local tyrant who treats money like dung. Or is it a little bit of money that you can't even look at and don't bother to remember? Chang Zheng thought it was funny.

Mei Ju said a little embarrassed: "I want to think about it, the physical transfer contract of "Queen" was signed in July. It's all about Fenghua.com, and the publishing houses are all contacted by them, and I don't know much about the publishing industry, and I don't have any acquaintances. Anyway, Fenghua.com said that the negotiation was completed, and then I signed it. The contract was so complicated that I had a headache when I looked at it. I think Fenghua.com won't pit me, right? So I signed it. It seems to be ...... Think about it, the royalty is 6%. Yes, 6%. ”

Chang Zheng: "6%? Not too high. Of course, this is your first book, and you were a newcomer before writing The Queen...... In any case, two lives and two lives are three, and three lives are endless, and having your first physical book is something to celebrate after all. In addition, you have acquaintances, am I not acquaintances? Before signing the transfer contract, you ask me, maybe I can give you some advice. Now that the books have been printed, and you've signed five signings, let's not talk about that. The film and television rights of "The Queen" were also sold? ”

Mei Ju nodded: "Well, it's also operated by Fenghua.com." If I sell this amount, I can take half of it, hehe. Mei Ju raised her right palm.

Chang Zheng: "Five? ”

Mei Juju: "Yes. ”

Chang Zheng: "How many zeros are after five?" ”

Mei Juju: "Five. ”

"Oh." Chang Zheng will know, 500,000.

Chang Zheng is also groping for the rules of the film and television industry, the film and television rights of "Queen" have been sold for 500,000 yuan, and he can't say whether he sold it cheaply or made money. His film and television copyright of "Evil Awe-inspiring" was sold for 7 million, but "Evil Awe-inspiring" does not seem to be a reference standard for the transfer of film and television rights for novels.

What are the specific reference criteria? Chang Zheng really doesn't know too much. There is no document that stipulates a specific standard for copyright transfer fees, and the price is generally negotiated between the buyer and the seller.

It's okay to sell it for one dollar, it's okay to sell it for 10 million, and there are precedents for free transfer without money. It's up to you how it works. To put it bluntly, it's about business.

Chang Zheng asked again: "What do you think about the book and shadow copyright of "Queen 2"? ”

Mei Ju said without thinking: "Cangshen, you help me operate." The book "Queen" was originally written by you who taught me, and this book also has your share. "Queen 1" I have already signed an agreement with Fenghua.com, and they will operate all the copyrights of this book as a third party, and you have also signed it, you must know. "Queen 2" I signed a sharing agreement with New Beginning, of course, I want you to help me operate. Oh, I'm not going to talk about money with others, a young woman in literature and art. I don't know how to deal with those publishing houses, film and television companies. So I'll leave it to God, all I have to do is write a good book. ”

"Okay, I'm sure I'm not going to let you suffer. There is money to make together. Chang Zheng said, and then he said to the taxi driver: "Master, one hundred meters ahead, park at the entrance of the Shengshi Gluttonous Food and Entertainment Center." ”

After the car stopped, Chang Zheng paid for the car and got out of the car first. He got out of the car and helped Plum Juice open the car door and said, "It's here, let's have a small meeting at this restaurant tonight." (To be continued......)
