"A slap in the face?" Hongdou took it and looked at the manuscript and then looked at Zhang Qiuxi, a little stunned.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Didn't Chu Li say that his mechanical public enemy wanted to discuss the morality of the coexistence of humans and intelligent machines, I just thought this topic was quite good, so I just participated in it." ”

"Little girl, you're very competitive, and you're actually working against the old-timers, but I like it."

Hongdou also showed a devilish smile and said: "If you write better about the same theme, then Chu Li will be late in the future, and it is interesting to think about it." Seeing how confident you look, I can't wait to read this manuscript, but there's one more thing before that. ”

"It's been almost a chapter, and there's still something to be done?" Zhang Qiuxi forked up the last piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, and the refreshments in this café were quite delicious.

"I haven't finished saying anything, I haven't said anything at all, you think I'm here to report to you on the sales of the magazine."

Hongdou said: "Here's the thing, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been serialized, and now a publishing house has contacted us about publishing and distribution, so the editor-in-chief asked me to ask you, what is your opinion?" ”

"That's a good thing, what else can I say." Zhang Qiuxi was a little excited, and after going around in such a big circle, he was finally able to publish, and then asked, "Which publishing house is it?" How much royalties do I get? ”

"The royalty is eight percent." Hongdou gestured, Zhang Qiuxi immediately lost interest when he heard it, and said: "Serialized novels will affect sales, and the royalties are so low that it's not worth looking forward to at all." ”

Hongdou said: "The royalty income of the average author is between 6% and 10%, and you have to have several sets of bestsellers to break ten, and you can get 8% at the beginning, which is not low." In addition, although it is true that serialization will affect sales at a certain time, the influence of a single book is greater than that of a serialized magazine, and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is so popular that the sales will be more than twice that of a magazine. ”

Each issue of the magazine will update the content, no matter how good it sells, it will not repeat the previous issue, and the single book can be reprinted as long as there is a market, and it is true that there are more people who buy a single book than buy a magazine, take comics as an example, the island country's largest manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Jump" sold more than six million when it was the most bullish, and the total number of super popular works like "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece" can sell hundreds of millions.

Thinking about it like this, it is still worth looking forward to, Zhang Qiuxi nodded, and said: "8% is 8%, anyway, it's useless to protest now, I can go to college comfortably with this money, which is not bad." ”

"When we negotiate with Huaguang Publishing House, we will give you no less than half of the advance payment, little rich woman, you can have a treat after you get the money, first the sauna, and then the ......."

"No, let's go to the sauna again...... Wait, what publisher did you just say? ”

"Huaguang Publishing House, our largest private publishing group in Caiyun, what's the problem?" Hongdou was thinking about how this should be very narrow, Zhang Qiu regretted a knife, but was interrupted.

Huaguang Publishing House, this name Zhang Qiu regretted that he didn't forget jì, when he went to submit, the screenwriter named Yang Cheng wanted to play the unspoken rules, and now when he thinks about it, he can still feel the pain of the egg, how can he forget jì.

Zhang Qiuxi frowned and said: "If it is Huaguang Publishing House, then I have an opinion, and it is a big opinion." I don't agree with this publishing house to publish it, and I'd rather not publish it if I don't have other partners. ”

"The resentment is so strong, what's the situation?" Hongdou was even more puzzled, and then said: "Huaguang Publishing House has always been a cooperative relationship with our magazine, and if you have a holiday between you, it will be a little troublesome for our magazine to be caught in the middle." ”

"Remember when I told you that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was sent directly to the publishing house? Huaguang Publishing House is one of them. ”

Thinking of Yang Cheng's cheap face, Zhang Qiuxi felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and gritted his teeth and said: "They have an editor named Yang Cheng, who pretended to read the novel and said that he couldn't do it, and even if Nima returned the manuscript, he actually hinted that I could solve it in other ways." ”

"In what way?" Hongdou then asked again, Zhang Qiuxi glared at him, and said, "You did it on purpose, right?" He asked me to talk to him in the evening, what way do you say? ”

Hongdou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed out loud regardless of the eyes of others, Zhang Qiuxi felt that it was a mistake to say such a "shameful" thing.

After laughing for a while, Hongdou still couldn't stop at all, Zhang Qiu regretted helplessly holding his forehead and said, "Can we still chat happily?" ”

Seeing Zhang Qiuxi's black face, Hongdou couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to encounter unspoken rules...... Wait, you make me laugh a little longer, and someone actually beats you up without opening their eyes. ”

After getting along for a long time, Hongdou knows Zhang Qiuxi's character very well, so she thinks this thing is funny, instead of feeling sad for a girl who has dreams but has gone through ups and downs.

finally laughed so hard that he didn't have the strength to laugh again, and Hongdou said again: "Speaking of which, the unspoken rules of our industry are actually not uncommon, and it is normal for you to be so beautiful, it is normal for people to peep, which shows that you are attractive......"

Seeing that Zhang Qiuxi's face was becoming darker, Hongdou hurriedly stopped and said, "Okay, no kidding." I'm just an intern editor who hasn't been in the job for a long time, and I haven't been in contact with Huaguang Publishing House yet, so I'll talk to the editor-in-chief about this matter to see if I can get rid of the guy named Yang Cheng, or change to another publishing house. ”

"If your magazine insists, then my opinion is useless at all, and the publishing rights have long been yours." Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I won't give in to this matter, Sister Hongdou, you make this clear." ”

"Fantasy World" asked Hongdou to ask Zhang Qiuxi what his opinion on publishing was purely polite, and they insisted on cooperating with Huaguang Publishing House, Zhang Qiuxi really couldn't stop it, but it was completely okay to break up with them.

Even if Zhang Qiu breaks the contract, at most it is accompanied by a liquidated damages, her previous manuscript fee is only one hundred and eighteen words, and the liquidated damages are within the range of affordability, and the loss of "Fantasy World" is an author who has driven the science fiction boom.

"Okay, it's like you're in the palace. Sister is joking, this kind of thing can not be on your side. "Red Bean took the matter down.

——————

"Ah Qiu, why did you keep frowning when you saw the editor come back?" Back at school, Zhang Qiuxi was still listless, of course, this couldn't escape Li Yue's eyes.

In fact, it's not worrying, it's just irritable, if it doesn't work, it's just a big deal, even if it falls out with "Fantasy World", it's not worth thinking about it, but I can't calm down when I encounter unspoken rules.

Zhang Qiuxi said this again, Li Yue also pursed his lips and smiled, but it was not as exaggerated as the red bean, and said: "Didn't you beat up that guy named Yang Cheng at the beginning, what are you still depressed?" Hurry up, my mom invites you to dinner today, let's go back early. ”

Zhang Qiuxi is very Li Yue's relationship between the two families is as good as a family, it is said that the two families thought about marrying each other, but unfortunately both families gave birth to daughters. It's a very cliché story, but Zhang Qiuxi was full of sadness and tears after knowing this, this could have been a very beautiful story......

After her parents passed away, the Li family took even more care of her, eating at the Li family more often than in their own home, and completely treating her as a daughter.

"You're back, go wash your hands and eat." Zhang Qiuxi and Li Yue stepped into the door, and Li Yue's mother Han Xue had a smile on her face, but in her eyes, both of them were just children.

Han Xue works in a TV station, Li Yue has a six-point relationship with her, and Li Yue's personality is completely with her, she will definitely be a perfect mother-in-law, if this story takes place in Cuiweiju......

Chilling out of thin air, Zhang Qiuxi didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he said to Li Yue's father Li Changhua, who was sitting at the dinner table reading a book: "Uncle, what are you looking at?" It's time to eat, and I'm reluctant to let go. ”

"Fantasy World." Li Yue leaned over to take a look, then glanced at Zhang Qiuxi with a smile on his face, and said, "Dad, when did you also read science fiction magazines." ”

Han Xue also brought the last dish and said, "Who knows what kind of nerves your dad suddenly has, he hasn't been idle since he came home, and I'm afraid he won't be in the mood to do anything else if he doesn't read it in one go." ”

said so, but during the meal, Li Changhua still put down the magazine, took the rice bowl handed over by Han Xue and said: "My colleague recommended me a novel called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I didn't think about it, but I couldn't stop reading it, so I borrowed the magazine too." ”

"I have to say that the imagination of young people nowadays is really rich enough, and it is amazing to shoot cases every time...... "It's not that I can't stop watching, Li Changhua can't stand it anymore, seeing Li Yue laughing hard, I can't help but say again: "I said girl, what have you been laughing at, Dad, do you think it's so strange when I read science fiction?" ”

"Ahem! Uncle, I actually wrote it. Zhang Qiuxi couldn't help but say weakly.

Li Changhua was stunned when he heard this, and his hand holding the vegetables stopped in mid-air, and Li Yue said with a smile: "Dad, you won't believe it, right?" The first reader of this novel was me. ”

"The female high school student mentioned in the report is Aqiu? It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a surprise. Li Changhua simply put down the chopsticks and said, "No wonder Ah Qiu hasn't come over recently, I wonder why you two didn't sleep together, it turned out that you were concentrating on creation." ”

It's nice to be able to sleep together when you're fine......
