Chapter 162: The Pain of Youth
Xiangyi Publishing House attaches more importance to Ye Chen's "1988", after all, their current scale is very small.
So a book like "1988" that already has a deep readership, they don't want to miss it.
The person who communicated with Ye Chen on the private message was Pang Jianbin , the president of Xiangyi Publishing House, Ye Chen chatted with Pang Jianbin and felt that this person was quite real.
Whether it is in Xiangyi Publishing House itself or in the views of the works of "1988", Ye Chen feels that what Pang Jianbin said is very pertinent.
Chen Junpeng's arrogance will not be reflected in Pang Jianbin at all.
Pang Jianbin bluntly said that Xiangyi Publishing House is weak in market share, and bluntly said that if "1988" can be published by Xiangyi Publishing House, it will be an opportunity for their publishing house.
Being able to bluntly say the shortcomings of his publishing house made Ye Chen feel that this person was credible, which was enough to prove that the other party was not mercenary, and he was also thinking about Ye Chen.
After all, small publishing houses have many barriers to sales channels.
For example, a publishing house like Houde, through decades of accumulation, has a good relationship with book sellers.
Some large bookstores will give priority to Houde Publishing House when ordering the source of books.
Even when it comes to sales, it is possible that the books of these publishers will be placed in a more prominent position, so that the big publishers will have an advantage in terms of sales.
Even some regions are monopolized by the big publishing houses, and the bookstores in the area only sell the books of their publishers.
In addition to daring to name the small scale of his own publishing house, Pang Jianbin finally proposed the contract conditions. Ye Chen was also quite satisfied.
Sales are calculated according to shares, and for every book sold, Ye Chen gets 30%.
This share ratio. It's already quite high.
Even Xiangyi Publishing House, as the publisher, received only 20% of the final share.
Generally speaking, the share of a book will be about 20% for major sellers, after all, sellers also have to hire employees and provide sales channels.
The cost of publishing a book by a publisher will account for about 30% of the price. These are the responsibilities of the appropriate publishing house.
The remaining 50 percent, Ye Chen will get 30 percent, and the other 20 percent will become the net profit of Xiangyi Publishing House.
If you talk about it. Although the proportion of Ye Chen's distribution is not low, the money he earns in the end may not be as much as the money he earns by cooperating with Houde or Tianzheng, after all, the scale is too small.
But Ye Chen is very confident in "1988".
He knew that the publication of this "1988" was different from the publication of books by other writers.
Some books that are not very famous. It is extremely dependent on the channels of the publishing house. After all, they rely on the strength of the publishing house to get the book in front of the readers.
It's like when we go to a bookstore, if we don't think about which book to buy, we just look for a book in a bookstore.
Although it seems that the right to choose books is still in our hands, the range of choices we choose is specially arranged by the bookstore.
But Ye Chen's book has accumulated enough popularity on the scarf, so that readers will go to the bookstore for "1988". It's not the same as just picking.
Ye Chen leaned on the back of the car seat and listened to the words of the little girl on the other end of the phone:
"That. Did my brother miss me? ”
The little girl asked delicately.
"Well, of course my brother misses you, why don't you come to Beijing to find your brother, the crew assigned me a standard room."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said to his little sister that there was an empty bed in his room.
"It's better not to go, after all, it's the crew, is the stupid brother working?"
The little girl said a little timidly, after all, there are so many strangers in the crew, which will make her feel embarrassed, this girl is not used to getting along with strangers.
"Silly brother, what about calling this time, in fact, I have a big gift for you, well, guess what people will give you?"
Ye Chen was stunned, this Nizi suddenly said to give him a gift, which really stumped him, how could he guess.
"Now, give me a hint, and I have a guess direction."
Ye Chen really couldn't guess, so he said.
"Well, related to what the stupid brother is doing now."
Fei'er smiled playfully after speaking.
"Something related to what I did, was it a TV series? Movie? Does the little girl want to recommend a TV series or a movie to her brother? ”
"Oh, I don't mean this, in addition to filming, what else is my brother doing?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment, and then replied:
"Music creation, oh, the little girl wants to recommend songs to me, what kind of music can enter the ears of our genius girl."
Ye Chen felt that he had guessed correctly, with a smug expression.
The little girl stomped her foot, feeling very helpless.
"Oh, silly brother, what about the tacit understanding between us, why don't you always guess wrong?"
Ye Chen showed a defeated expression, well, he guessed wrong again.
However, in addition to acting and music, the rest, Ye Chen knows, is to write books.
"Fei'er, you can't be talking about books, are you recommending good books to me?"
For the books that Fei'er will recommend, Ye Chen is actually not looking forward to it too much, Fei'er, the type of book that Nizi likes, is actually deviated from Ye Chen.
The aesthetic tastes of the two don't match very well.
Fei'er likes the youth pain series, just "love is love when it's right, and love is youth when it's wrong".
For this kind of youthful pain, Ye Chen also liked it, but it was in the past after all.
You say that how can a man in his early thirties who lives in his soul now be as obsessed with small freshness as he was when he was twenty years old.
Regarding youth movies from various countries, Ye Chen has a general opinion.
In the rice country youth movie, the protagonist participates in various clubs and competitions, and then falls in love by the way, and finally realizes his personal value and holds the beauty.
Finally, the protagonist says: "Our youth is so wonderful! ”
A history of adolescent struggle.
Neon youth movie, school hot violence, cold violence, the protagonist is bullied at first, and then rises up with the encouragement of friends, family, and dream love, and suddenly changes from a child to an adult.
Relying on his own efforts to win the recognition of everyone and the lover of his dreams, the protagonist finally said:
"Our youth is worth fighting for."
a history of adolescence metamorphosis;
Xuanyuan youth movies, all kinds of love, all kinds of fancy death, all kinds of splitting legs, all kinds of appointments, all kinds of abortions.
Finally, the protagonist says:
"Our youth ultimately lost to reality."
A history of adolescent depravity.
Fei'er's cheerful voice came again:
"Well, the silly brother finally guessed correctly this time, Fei'er is the one who recommends good books to you."
Ye Chen asked with interest:
"What a good book?"
Fei'er is still cheerful:
"1988, I Want to Talk to the World"
Ye Chen straightened up suddenly, where was there any sleepiness.
"No, this book was actually seen by Fei'er's little girl." (To be continued......)
