Chapter 251: Master's Remuneration
He Rong asked Su Wen if he was interested in the manuscript remuneration, although he did not speak, the expression on his face betrayed his mind.
Not only is my heart moved, but even my hands have to move!
The amount of remuneration is not what Su Wen cares about, he could have taken out millions to buy the Spring and Autumn Publishing House before, no matter how he said it, he was a small boss.
By the end of the year, his assets are estimated to be more, and the market performance of Luo Zhu and the Doll should be almost stable by then, plus the "Thunderstorm" that Matrix Culture Company is preparing to operate, the total sum of his total income of more than 10 million is appropriate.
has tens of millions of assets, and I really can't say that I am really not interested in the remuneration of a few hundred yuan for an article in the newspaper.
What he cares about is the treatment of the remuneration that He Rong said-
Master Level!
Whether it is a newspaper or a magazine, there is a complete system of remuneration, just like the contract of the matrix company, what level of writers, they will give what level of treatment, the hierarchy is strict, not ordinary people can break. Only when the status and fame of a writer rises, can he be treated at a higher level.
Magazines and newspapers are the same, with 1,000 words as the settlement unit, there are dozens of small newcomers, there are also one or two hundred quality articles, and hundreds of dollars of big writers' remuneration, as for what is called high, there is no certain boundary.
However, according to the current market situation, writers with less than 500 words do not dare to say that they are great writers and writers, and only those who are more than 500 dare to say that they have any status symbols.
"How many words is a thousand?" Su Wen asked He Rong directly.
If the price offered by the other party satisfies him, he doesn't mind sending some short articles to brush up on his style. When the time comes, when I talk to people that he is a writer with thousands of words and hundreds of words, it is also a big face.
He Rong saw that Su Wen's heart was moved, and a smile couldn't help but float on his face, and he smiled: "Our editor-in-chief said, as long as you are willing to give us the article." Definitely give you the highest level of remuneration in the writer system! ”
"What is the highest level?" Su Wen asked with a frown.
He Rong still smiled: "A thousand words and a thousand yuan, are you satisfied?" ”
"How much?" Su Wen was stunned for a moment.
"A thousand words and a thousand yuan, that is, one word and one yuan." He Rong explained.
Su Wen was even more stunned, opening his mouth wide and unable to speak.
"I'll rub!" Ma Junwu, who heard the words next to him, jumped up, startled, and looked extremely surprised. Both eyes widened, and he looked at He Rong incredulously, "One word and one yuan?" Is it really that high? Boss Su, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and agree! This kind of treatment is definitely the highest! I used to post articles, and they were only willing to give me a thousand words at most! If I'm not mistaken, many writers in the provincial writers' association are only two or three hundred words per thousand. 1,000 words, 1,000 yuan. I can't imagine it! ”
Although Liu Hua and Li Ge had been reading textbooks wholeheartedly and had not published any articles, they were also surprised by the price of thousands of words.
They thought to themselves, if you write a million words for a single word, won't you have a million yuan in income?
For 1 million dollars, you can buy a house in Kyoto!
If they had such treatment, they wouldn't have to do anything every day. Just ponder how to write an article, if possible. Writing tens of thousands of words a day, in a year, is millions of income!
"Is this the gap?" The two looked at Su Wen with envy.
Su Wen was also shocked by He Rong's offer, although he can earn millions of dollars by writing tens of thousands of words of drama now, and a word is almost a hundred yuan.
But that is the result of the operation of various channels and resources, and the cost of various channels when marketing various cultural companies is calculated. The ratio of input to output is estimated to be much worse than 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words.
"Kyoto Life" is just a newspaper, relying on the number of subscribers of readers, and the price of one dollar per word can be said to be a very amazing quotation in the newspaper.
"Senior Sister He, are you sure you're not joking? Can you call the shots? Su Wen was a little unconvinced. Why do you want to open the river?
He Rong smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can call our editor-in-chief to confirm." I'm not afraid to tell you that he told me this thousand words and thousands of dollars personally, and said that in order to successfully ask you for a manuscript, you can pay some price. Of course, this is only the highest price in his heart, he didn't let me give you such an offer at the beginning, he meant that if you can press it, you can press it, and if you can't press it, you will give the limit of thousands of words and thousands of yuan, which is also the highest price he can offer, no matter how high it is, he can't accept it. Senior brother, you and I are alumni, of course I can't cheat you, so I will quote you the highest price as soon as I come up, anyway, the money is not mine, and the newspaper's money is not spent in vain. You have to keep this point secret for me, junior brother, you can't reveal to my editor-in-chief that I eat inside and out, just say that it is your request, and I reluctantly agreed in the end. ”
Su Wen believed it at this time, looking at He Rong's gaze was not so cold and hard, according to her, now they are their own people.
My own family members and their own people, not to mention the tears in their eyes, they are also in the same boat.
"It's better to be an alumnus." Su Wen sighed.
Confirming the authenticity of this matter, Ma Junwu began to get nervous: "Boss Su, you are going to be developed!" The treatment of thousands of words and thousands of yuan, a condition that many writers can't get! If you say this, you will definitely make them envious, jealous and hateful. Don't worry, I will let everyone know that you are already the top writer, and the remuneration given by the newspaper is proof of this! ”
Needless to say, Ma Junwu is now like the spokesperson of Su Wen and the Minister of Propaganda, as long as it is good news for Su Wen, he will toss it on the Internet, and he is too big to say it, at least let the campus network forum of Huaxia Academy of Literature be known to everyone, and then spread in major universities in Kyoto.
Su Wen shrugged, yes, if you weigh this matter, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The disadvantage is that he jumped up too fast, the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and the income from publishing, film and television is millions, everyone takes it for granted, after all, it is more of a cultural company and the effect of marketing, and others will only envy it at most.
But newspapers and periodicals represent more of an identity, and the "Kyoto Life Daily" paid Su Wen a thousand words and a thousand yuan, which will inevitably make some people unconvinced. In addition to envy, there is also jealousy.
As Ma Junwu said, many people have struggled for so many years, and they are still hovering around two or three hundred thousand words, and now they hear that a young man has pulled the gap between them several times at once, where can they still bear it.
Seniority is not new in the literary circle. Being so humiliated by a junior, they will definitely say something scathing, which will naturally affect Su Wen's impression in the hearts of some people.
The disadvantages are obvious, but the benefits are also great, for example, no matter how bitter you are. Thousands of words and thousands of yuan are facts, if there are other newspapers in the future to attract Su Wen to continue to offer such a price, it will be a disguised proof that Su Wen is worth this price, has such a status, is such an identity!
Impressions are formed for a long time, and they can also be changed accordingly, and when everyone accepts this fact, it means that in their hearts, Su Wen is worth a word and a yuan. Think he's a master!
Su Wen is not afraid that he will not be able to write good works, on the contrary, he is afraid that the classic works in his mind will not be famous when he takes them out, and he will be wronged by these classics. Therefore, brushing up and earning popularity is what he needs to do most at this stage.
Ma Junwu was willing to help him plan. He gladly accepted.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and Su Wen asked He Rong: "Senior Sister He." You said that a thousand words and a thousand yuan is the price of a master, I want to ask, how many people can get this remuneration? ”
"Not much." He Rong said lightly.
"How much does Haizi's poem cost?" Su Wen came up with a reference.
He Rong thought for a while and said, "It's probably this price, I remember that we once invited him to write, and a poem was given about 15,000." ”
Su Wen nodded, and asked again: "What about the king of Kyoto?" ”
"About one thousand two." He Rong quickly gave an answer.
Su Wen was surprised: "It stands to reason that the market value of Wang Forget is a little larger than that of Haizi." Why is the price lower? ”
He Rong smiled: "This is not unusual. Wang Wang's background is to write dramas, and what he is best at is also drama works, and the so-called market value is large, which is more reflected in stage and film and television copyrights. Haizi writes poetry. The name of the poem spread all over the world, and in terms of literary prestige, it was normal for him to be higher, and the price to be higher. One thousand and five is just our rule, and it is said that some businessmen are willing to give hundreds of thousands of Chinese dollars in order to ask Haizi to write a poem! A poem is only a few words, what do you say is the price of people! ”
Su Wen suddenly understood what the so-called master's remuneration meant, probably that is, a thousand words and a thousand yuan is a threshold, and after this hurdle, in the eyes of newspaper people, you are a master. Below this, it can only be said that it is a great writer, and the achievements have yet to be verified.
And the master is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, with a thousand words and a thousand yuan, which is only the lowest level; There are still a thousand or hundreds of levels on it, and as for how much to give, it depends on personal achievements and prestige.
Suddenly thinking of someone, Su Wen asked, "What about Wang Tianming?" ”
"Who?" He Rong was stunned for a moment.
"The most famous writer I know now, Wang Tianming!" Su Wen repeated.
What level is Wang Tianming? It is known as an invincible opponent in the world in China, crushing many literati, and there is no opponent as soon as he makes a move.
Such a good person, what price to offer, Su Wen is very curious.
"Teacher Wang Tianming......" He Rong couldn't help but bring the honorific title, and he muttered for a long time, but he still couldn't say a price.
Su Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, it's very high?" ”
He Rong glanced at Su Wen deeply, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone has reached a realm that is difficult to measure with specific manuscript fees, I can't say for sure, and I can't say it." ”
"What do you mean?" Su Wen was very curious.
He Rong explained: "Mr. Wang Tianming has devoted his life to the creation of novels, except for writing some short stories in his early years, and later has been concentrating on writing novels, the shortest of which is tens of thousands of novellas. This kind of novel is mainly published, and people don't even give you the opportunity to serialize, let alone pay for newspapers and magazines. In addition to novels, his writings in prose and poetry are very rare, so they are rarely published in newspapers and magazines. ”
"Scarcity is expensive, so the manuscript fees for his magazines and newspapers are ridiculously high?" Su Wen looked stunned.
"Not really." He Rong shook his head and said, "In addition to being rare and precious, we must also consider his identity and status. For example, if he were to say that he would write a short story of a few thousand words, I think many newspapers and magazines would fight for it to be the first to publish it. One or two thousand remuneration? It's a joke! The price of 10,000 will be opened! Even, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands! What is Luoyang paper expensive, this is called Luoyang paper expensive! ”
Hearing this, Su Wen was silent, and his heart was a little bitter.
Ten thousand! Tens! Or even 100,000!
What kind of concept is this, doesn't it mean that he is more than ten times different from others!
This is Wang Tianming?
Taking a deep breath, Su Wen was not discouraged, he admitted his shortcomings, but he was confident that he could catch up with the other party, and even hoped that one day he could surpass it.
Wang Tianming is the peak he wants to climb, and it is also a mountain he wants to surpass!
"It's good, if there is no challenge in conquering this world literature, it will be too boring and lonely!" Su Wen's heart swelled with boundless ambition, and he secretly regarded Wang Tianming as a goal to surpass.
The other party has spent twenty or thirty years in business and gained boundless prestige, he Su Wen can't wait for twenty or thirty years, if you want to overtake quickly, you have to find another way, and use a variety of means at the same time!
"Then start with the Kyoto Life newspaper and prove yourself step by step!" Su Wen has the motivation to immediately turn into a codeword maniac and carry out his "creation" career.
As soon as He Rong left, the three roommates first congratulated Su Wen, saying that he became a god in one book, and he gained the status of a master with a "Thunderstorm", and now it is the beginning of fame and fortune, and it also allows Su Wen to make persistent efforts to create better works to repay readers, at least to fill the appetite of the three of them first.
Without saying a word, Su Wen began to ask Ma Junwu to run errands and help him collect some recent "Kyoto Life Daily", he wanted to read the short articles in the literary edition to see what kind of articles they needed, and what types of articles they lacked.
After understanding the situation, it is necessary to formulate a strategy, have a purpose, and strive to write a distinctive and attractive article, so as to establish his status in the "Kyoto Life" newspaper in one fell swoop.
The purpose of the editor-in-chief of "Kyoto Life Newspaper" to invite manuscripts at a high price, He Rong just didn't say it, Su Wen could also think of it, it was nothing more than to see him Su Wen because "Thunderstorm" wanted to advance to a great writer, and wanted to win over in advance, and use his fame to attract more readers to the position of Life Daily.
Su Wen doesn't care about this, depending on what the editor-in-chief means, as long as he can write it, he can even open a column for him.
Su Wen, a newspaper columnist with two million sales, intends to build his brand value with this identity, establish his status in newspapers and magazines, and then improve his treatment level step by step, so as to climb the peak step by step and catch up with Wang Tianming's footsteps.
After Ma Junwu found more than a dozen copies of "Kyoto Life Daily", Su Wen read all the literary works on it, and finally decided what type of article he wanted to write!
As soon as the theme is decided, he immediately moves on it, and the classic works in his mind are mobilized...... (To be continued.) )
