Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ambition
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The fame of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has begun, and Lin Jing thinks that the time has come for it to be published.
So far, she has written four volumes, and the fifth volume has been written to Zhu Zaiyuan, which is enough to be published in terms of word count. After all, even if it is published, it will not say that it will be published in seven volumes together.
As a result, Mo Da Mo Ziqi, as the manager of Bookworm Publishing House, was "summoned" to CUHK by Liang Yinning with a phone call.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, Mo Ziqi didn't have to come by himself, because he had been too busy recently, preparing for the Time and Space Film Company, acquiring Xingzao Records, and taking care of the Bookworm Publishing House.
If he hadn't always been energetic, I'm afraid he would have died in the middle of his life.
It's just that he felt the need to report what he had done to Lin Jing, the "big boss behind the scenes", so he didn't "be lazy".
In a café at CUHK called "Time is Quiet".
"I didn't expect CUHK to have such a café with such a nice environment." Mo Ziqi looked at this café facing the lake on three sides, overhead on the lake, and could feel the breeze and the waves, and couldn't help but sigh.
He was a little shocked to be invited here. Because Liang Yinning has never been polite to him, he is like an iron rooster who does not pull out a hair, and he also comes and goes when he is called, and he has a lot of temper with the eldest lady.
"It's not the same everywhere to drink these black liquids." Liang Yinning said expressionlessly, and then picked up the coffee cup.
Boom!
There was a loud swallowing sound, but it was Liang Yinning who drank the entire cup of coffee that had just been brought up in one gulp after speaking.
Mo Ziqi suddenly sweated like rain in his heart.
Lin Jing also frowned slightly, Yin Ning had been very abnormal since she was picked up by her mother for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her relationship had been very abnormal since she came back. Sometimes it's like a powder keg, it explodes at a moment, and no matter what you say, if she hears it, she has to refute it and say a few sarcastic words. If you don't speak, she'll look depressed again.
That sunny, cheerful, optimistic girl seems to be gone forever, much worse than the last time her parents officially divorced.
This made Lin Jing a little distressed, and tried every means to explain it, but it had no effect.
"Yin Ning, why don't you go back first, and I'll talk to Manager Mo about the rest." Lin Jing said to Liang Yinning that Liang Yinning had always disliked these "business" things, and only came here to accompany her.
Liang Yinning glanced left and right, nodded, stood up without saying a word, and walked out with his bag.
"Miss Lin, what is this?" Watching Liang Yinning leave, Mo Ziqi, who turned around, hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Lin Jing shook her head and didn't answer his question.
After waiting for a while, Lin Jing continued: "In my busy schedule, I have to bother Manager Mo to come over, I am really embarrassed. ”
She knew that Mo Ziqi had been very busy recently, so for the publishing affairs of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Lin Jing's original intention was to go to the Bookworm Publishing House to find Mo Ziqi and quickly solve all the publishing affairs. But I didn't expect Liang Yinning to know, so he called Mo Ziqi over first.
"Miss Lin is so polite, Bookworm Publishing House has made a lot of profits by publishing your three novels, and it is our honor that you can choose our publishing house again this time." Mo Ziqi smiled mildly.
He knew very well in his heart that with Lin Jing having published three novels, "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Times That Can't Go Back", and the sales of each novel and each volume were more than 100,000 famous, Lin Jing didn't have to worry about publishing at all.
In addition, this "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was only serialized in an unknown academic journal, and it was able to set a record of selling more than 20,000 copies in several universities, and it has recently been hyped up by major media in Hong Kong. It is estimated that a large number of publishers will break their heads in order to compete for the publishing rights of her Ming Historical Notes.
"Then I'm going to trouble you again." Lin Jing replied.
"The royalty is calculated according to the last publishing agreement, and the basic royalty is increased by two percentage points, and the upper limit remains unchanged, I don't know what Miss Lin thinks?" Mo Ziqi asked after a little thought.
"That's fine." Lin Jing said that she is not an insatiable person.
The last royalty agreement was 15% for the first 100,000 copies, an increase of two percentage points, that is, 17%, and if it can sell more than 100,000 copies, it is 2o%, which is the upper limit, unchanged. This is good enough, at present, whether in Hong Kong or Taiwan, no writer except Jin Yong can reach the level of royalties like her, so she has no intention of making any changes.
Originally, doing "business" is a multi-party matter, and the emphasis is on the balance of interests. If you want one person to take advantage of the advantage, the "business" cannot be done for a long time.
agreed on the matter of publishing, and Mo Ziqi talked with Lin Jing for a while about the time and space film company, Xingzao Records and the preparation for the filming of the movie "If the Wine Is Dry".
The Time and Space Film Company has been established, but there are only four employees, including Mo Ziqi, the so-called "Xi Executive Officer", a security guard, a cleaner, and a clerk, and the accounting and cashier are all done by Mo Ziqi himself. As for why he wanted to hire a clerk, it was because Mo Ziqi himself was too busy and really didn't have time to deal with some too trivial writing work.
Xingzao Records has been acquired, and there is currently an errand runner Zhang Yanqin, two music producers Angus and Li Zhenquan, who have not yet signed a singer, a veritable small workshop. According to Lin Jing's meaning, he is in contact with Chen Coisan and Huang Jiaju. If there is no accident, I will soon be able to complete the signing and contract with the two.
Regarding the film preparation for the movie "If the Wine Sells Nothing", director Xu Anhua has been invited, and Xu Anhua is very satisfied with the script and the amount of investment, but because he has been too busy with work recently, he is still thinking about it. But Mo Ziqi believes that there should be no problem with this.
"Good work." Lin Jing nodded with satisfaction and said.
The film company is still an empty shell without a single behind-the-scenes person, and that's okay. As long as "If the Wine Sells Nothing", a movie with both word-of-mouth and box office, is successfully filmed and released, the time and space movie can be officially pulled out, and then recruits and horses to implement Lin Jing's big movie plan.
And Xingzao Records, Chen Coisan and Huang Jiaju are all powerful singers who have proven themselves in later generations, even if they can't reach the strength of later generations for the time being, as long as they have professional training and Lin Jing's countless good songs in their heads, it is not a problem to become popular at all.
Of course, Chen is still in Form 7, and if she is to be pushed out, she will have to wait until she graduates next year.
All the qiē was proceeding according to his own ideas, and at this moment, Lin Jing was a little ambitious.
It's just that while she is full of ambition, she has to worry about Liang Yinning.
So after finishing finishing work, Lin Jing said goodbye to Mo Ziqi and hurriedly left the "Years Are Quiet" café and chased after Liang Yinning.
