"I know that you have a lot of confidence in Zhu Xian, and I think it's very good, but do you really don't want to think about it anymore?" Looking at Li Le's sure look, Ren Dongcheng couldn't help but remind.

"Zhu Xian is very good, that's for sure, but you may not know that some novels are not only good but can be sold well. Let me tell you so! I know a lot of novels, and their writing is very good, but they don't sell very well. Do you know what the Tao is for? Because no one takes it. Without the foundation of the masses, no matter how good the novel is, it is powerless. ”

Li Lezhi and Ren Dongcheng are true, and he also knows that the mass foundation of Lu Dao is good, and only a novel can have the possibility of development. But Zhu Xian may not be loved by anyone? Judging from his memory, Li Lezhi said that it was impossible. So he opened his mouth and said: "Editor-in-chief, I have already decided, you don't need to persuade me anymore." ”

Seeing that Li Le still didn't listen to persuasion, Ren Dongcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Ren Dongcheng didn't want to take advantage of Li Le, although he felt that Zhu Xian was very good, he also thought that it would be a little easy to sell. But after all, it has not been verified, and Ren Dongcheng is not sure. He persuaded Li Le so much, that is, he was worried that it would be difficult to sell the immortals afterwards, which would cause Li Le to suffer economic losses.

After a pause, Li Le said again: "Can you tell me about the general situation of the contract sharing?" After all, I don't know anything about any of this. ”

Ren Dongcheng no longer persuaded Li Le, he smiled and said, "I understand." Then he said: "Actually, the sharing contract is like this, we get the physical publishing rights of the novel. Then, according to the terms of the sharing contract, we will share the revenue from the publication of the novel. As for the level of the writer's share, it depends on the author's own discussion with our publishing department. One of the things I can say here is that the more money a writer puts in, the higher the share. ”

After listening to Ren Dongcheng's words, Li Le pondered in his heart. According to Ren Dongcheng, if Li Lezhi said that if it was possible, he could get a very high share. Thinking of this, Li Le couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "What if I want to independently fund the publication? Will the income from the novel be mine in the future? The copyright should be mine, right? ”

"It's impossible." Ren Dongcheng said with a smile. "Although we also allow independent publishing, we need to use our channels after all. After paying the publication funds of the colleagues, we still take a part of the revenue share. We will not take advantage of others, and we will take a very low share, which is decided by the publishing department and the writer himself. ”

"Of course, the independent copyright writers are kept, and we are only responsible for helping with the publication. Of course, we also want to be able to sign a good book. ”

After listening to Ren Dongcheng's explanation, Li Le was even happier in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Baining Media is really humane, it's really the right choice." From Ren Dongcheng's explanation, Li Lezhi said that if he published Zhuxian independently, all the copyrights of Zhuxian would be in his own hands, and the only publishing right could only be regarded as entrusting Baining Media. In other words, Zhu Xian will be popular in the future, and Li Le will be able to change to another publishing house for publication.

may also have seen Li Le's idea of wanting to publish independently, Ren Dongcheng said with a smile: "I know that you want to keep Zhuxian in your hands, but I want to remind you here." It costs a lot of money for you to publish independently, and you can't get our support and publicity. This means that we have to do everything on your own except for printing it for you and putting it on our channels. ”

Regarding Ren Dongcheng's statement, Li Le did not feel strange. After all, they only count you as a little hard money, and you can't ask them to contribute too much.

After thinking about it, Li Le said: "Let's talk about splitting and publishing first!" I'll also find out more about it. Li Le hasn't really decided yet, he also has to listen to the situation of the split, so that he can make his own decision.

"It's usually about the quality of the novel or something, plus the writer's own contribution. However, there are also a lot of requirements on it, and the writer must come forward to publicize it or something, and the highest is to account for 20% of the publishing income. According to my idea, if you sign a contract with us, I can decide to give you a 20% share. And after the novel is really typeset and published, we at Baining Media can also give it vigorous publicity. ”

Originally, Li Le still had some hope for the split publication, after all, he knew that if he did, he would get some support. However, after listening to Ren Dongcheng's explanation, he said with a smile: "Then forget it, I'll publish it independently." ”

"I really don't know how thick the sky is." Although he was very satisfied and fond of Zhu Xian, when he heard Li Le say that he wanted to publish it independently, he still made an evaluation of Li Le in his heart. Ren Dongcheng still said calmly: "You have thought about it, I'll tell you about it!" ”

"According to the current regulations of our publishing department, if you want to publish independently, you can print 25,000 regular novels for 5,000 yuan. According to this amount, the more writers contribute, the more we publish. ”

After a pause, Ren Dongcheng said to Li Le: "Less than 25,000 copies, we Baining will not accept independent publishing. Obviously, Ren Dongcheng didn't think that Li Le would be able to come up with so much money. 5,000 yuan! Although Ren Dongcheng works quite well, he doesn't have so many savings.

"Generally speaking, the writer is only responsible for taking out the printing funds, and then it depends on our Baining, after all, we also account for part of the share on the top, and we can't reap it in vain if we don't have a little effort." It's rare, Ren Dongcheng watched a little joke in the back.

At this time, Ren Dongcheng still hoped that Li Le would be able to retreat despite the difficulties. He said the basic financial conditions for independent publishing, that is, he hoped that Li Le would give up the idea of independent publishing. Ren Dongcheng knows very well that the independent publishing conditions of their Baining Media are already very good, and he doesn't know where there is anything better than their Baining conditions. Except, of course, those black factories. Ren Dongcheng didn't know what to do, and there was no pressure on Li Le at all.

Li Le thought in his heart, 10,000 yuan can print 50,000 novels. He couldn't use all the money he had for publication, he had to keep some of it. Li Le thought for a while and said, "Just print 250,000 copies first to see the situation, and it can be regarded as a test for Zhuxian first." So he said, "As the editor-in-chief, I have decided, I want to publish independently." ”

Ren Dongcheng looked at Li Le seriously and persuaded: "Li Le, you have thought clearly, you must have 5,000 funds for independent publishing." After all, there are too few prints, and the cost is not worth it at all. 5000 is not a decimal number, and your family should not agree to you taking it out and using it in the novel. ”

"Don't worry, I don't need to spend money at home, I have it myself." Saying that, Li Le took out his passbook and said, "Don't look at me small, I have earned some small money myself, and I also have some savings." Regarding the issue of funds, Li Leke has no worries at all.

"Editor-in-chief, you can see that I have the ability to independently fund and publish Zhuxian."

Ren Dongcheng was also impatient with the passbook that Li Le took out, because he thought that there would be a deposit of 5,000 on it, and Ren Dongcheng had not found anyone who could get such a huge amount of money at Li Le's age. "Did you bring it out from home?" Ren Dongcheng said with doubts in his heart. He was also polite, picked up Li Le's passbook and opened it.

"Ahh As soon as he saw the brand-new content on the passbook, Ren Dongcheng exclaimed.

The whole amount of 60,000 was clearly displayed on the top, and it faintly stinged Ren Dongcheng's eyes. After seeing that the head of the household was Li Le, and the passbook was also brand new, Ren Dongcheng knew that everything was true.

Looking at Li Le, who looked calm and natural, Ren Dongcheng smiled bitterly in his heart, handed back the passbook to Li Le and said, "Where is this little money!" It's the first time I've seen someone who can come up with such a large sum of money. "Ren Dongcheng has been exposed to a lot of large amounts of money, but it is not private. Where is like the current Li Le, he can come up with so much money at once.

"You don't have a business at home, do you?" Ren Dongcheng couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, Li Le's family is in business, so he has so much money at his disposal.

"No, I earned the money myself." Li Le didn't go into details, only said that the money was earned by himself. Regarding the source of Li Leqian, Ren Dongcheng didn't think much about it, because no matter how much money he had, it was not his. He was also a little shocked and said: "You have the money, then it's time to talk about the specific contract." ”

Li Le's conditions have been met, and Li Le himself chose to independently fund the publication, and the general direction is already there, and Ren Dongcheng directly entered the contract negotiation stage. After some deliberation, the terms of the contract were finalized. In the case of copyright Li Le, the publishing right is temporarily entrusted to Baining Media. Although Zhu Xian is independently funded by Li Le, Baining Media still accounts for 15% of the revenue.

Seeing that the contract had been sorted out, Ren Dongcheng said to Li Le with a smile: "Okay, now it's okay, as long as you sign it, you may start to prepare for the publication of Zhuxian." ”

Li Le picked up the contract, looked at the terms and conditions that had been finalized, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.
