Chapter 108: The Book Sale Is Imminent

PS: I can't take it anymore.

About Xu Yuexun, I just want to say two words, dragon snake.

For the rest, let's make up for it.

I didn't want to spoil it, and there are too many ps these days, which affects the perception of reading, and as a result, the book review area is about to be smashed, forcing me to spoil. If you have to do this every time, is there still a sense of anticipation for reading a book? Interesting? Please be more patient with readers.,Recently, ten changes a day when the store was put on the shelves.,It's almost ready.,In the next outbreak chapter of the store.,The update before the shelf is still the same.,I think my festival is already full.。

zuihou, ask for a recommendation ticket.

Some people were at a loss to enter the middle-aged man's home, the furnishings were simple but not flashy, and he was dizzy and talking to the author's father, and the shock in Zhou Taosheng's heart still couldn't be calmed.

How is it possible for a seventeen-year-old boy to write a monumental work like "Buddha is the Way" that promotes traditional Chinese culture?

But that's just the way it is.

When he first learned the news, his first reaction was that the middle-aged man was joking with him, and when he understood that the other party was not joking, his second reaction was that someone was ghostwriting, but looking at the furnishings in this room, it didn't look like a ghostwriter who had the money to hire a ghostwriter, and it was also this kind of novel that was destined to leave a heavy mark on online literature, which was not at all something that money could settle.

Rao was still a little incredulous when all kinds of evidence showed him that the author of the book was indeed a boy of only seventeen years old.

Seventeen years old can write this kind of book, so now at the age of thirty, has he lived to be a dog all these years?

I thought that the author would be a calm man in his thirties and forties, and no matter how bad he was, he was a young man in his twenties, but he thought that he was only seventeen years old when he revisited, and the official did not tell him about this situation?

Yes, people's privacy is very important nowadays, without the permission of the author, the dust point official can not mention his age, and the company's legal department must also ensure that this is a secret, he is the recommender of the publication of the novel, but not the party who signed the contract, naturally has no right to know this kind of information.

However, weishenme he still finds it difficult to believe that the Buddha is the author of the Tao only at such a young age?

"Perverted, it's just perverted."

Even if he is as calm as him, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

Just when he was getting to know the author with Gu Zhengming, the sound of the key opening the door suddenly came from the other side of the door, and Zhou Taosheng couldn't help but be shocked.

Is that the real name Gu Yang back?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the door, and saw a calm and natural young man walking in.

The first thing I felt when I saw the face was that it was very temperamental.

The face is still a little green that has not grown, but the whole person is very calm and calm, and the straight back adds a bit of charm to it, which makes people feel that this young man is very attractive.

"It's a little different from what I expected."

Zhou Taosheng stood up and smiled politely: "Hello, you must be the author of the Buddha is the Tao, Mr. Gu Yang, I have heard the name for a long time, and now I finally see the real face, I am the manager of Qiteng Publishing Company, called Zhou Taosheng, this time I am specially here to pick you up to participate in the book signing and sale." ”

"However, I do have some faith that he can write the book that the Buddha is the Tao."

When he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, he secretly added in his heart.

Gu Yang glanced at Zhou Taosheng with his eyes, a little stunned, and when the other party stretched out his hand, he came to his senses, and also stretched out his hand and shook the other party's hand: "Hello, first time we met, please take care of me, as Manager Zhou said, I am the author of the Buddha is the Tao, this time I trouble Manager Zhou, and I have troubled the manager to help guide me in the past two days, thank you very much." ”

Zhou Taosheng smiled, worried that the other party's arrogance because he was too young disappeared: "That's a polite word, you go to Tianhai this time, if you have anything to say, as long as you can do it, I will try my best to do it." ”

"This boy is really polite, much better than some people."

Through the attitude of communication, he felt that Gu Yang was much better than the author of the recently published "Allure", the young writer named Wang Lian, who was only thirteenth on the monthly best-selling list, proud and arrogant, self-righteous, thinking that he was the most powerful and most prominent one among the current juvenile writers, but he is now the first on the best-selling list, he speaks so politely, and he is still one year younger than Wang Lian, and the attitude of the two is simply not a grade.

Invisibly, the balance in his heart tilted towards Gu Yang.

"Then it's troublesome Manager Zhou."

Gu Yang smiled indifferently, chatted with Zhou Taosheng for a few more words, then greeted his parents, changed his clothes, took his credit card and got into Zhou Taosheng's car.

In this place of China, interpersonal relationships are still very important, you can make friends as much as possible, there is no harm in having multiple friends, speak politely, and let the other party have a good impression, easy to remember you as a person.

Zhou Taosheng is obviously a talkative person, and he is also very measured in his words and actions, and in order not to make Gu Yang feel bored in the car, he often chats with him about some interesting things about the publishing industry. With the intention of knowing a little bit about the benefits of the rules inside, Gu Yang listened very seriously, and interjected a sentence from time to time to understand the circles inside from Zhou Taosheng's mouth.

In the publishing industry, generally speaking, there are two forms of contract between the publisher and the author, one is a direct buyout, that is, the author sells the copyright at a price of 1,000 words, and all the future benefits belong to the publisher. And the other is to share.

If the author's share is 10 percent, and the price of a book is 20 yuan, if he sells a book, the author will get 2 yuan from the book, 2,000 copies will be 2,000 yuan, and 20,000 copies will be 20,000 yuan.

Of course, this is just an example, and the contract signed by Gu Yang and the publisher is 15%, which is already very high for a new author, even if it is a first-line traditional writer, the highest share is only about 20%, and Gu Yang's share ratio will continue to rise.

After talking to Gu Yang for a long time, Zhou Taosheng's mouth and tongue were a little dry, he opened the mineral water bottle and took a sip, and said: "Actually, when I knew that Mr. Gu was the author of the Buddha is the Tao, I was really shocked, at such a young age, not only can I write such an excellent work as the Buddha is the Tao, but also the musical talent is so outstanding, it is really amazing, I deeply admire it." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yang, who was sitting in the back seat, said modestly: "I'm embarrassed to praise Manager Zhou's words, I'm flattered, flattered." ”

Zhou Taosheng put the water bottle in its original position, waved his hand and said: "Hey, Mr. Gu, don't be modest, with your talent, it is not an exaggeration to call the first person of the younger generation." ”

As he was talking, he turned his head to look at the clothes on Gu Yang's body: "However, Mr. Gu may have to change his clothes, if you sign and sell books, this dress is not very suitable, I think Mr. Gu's image and temperament are also quite haode, and he can develop towards the entertainment industry in the future, hahaha......"

Gu Yang echoed and smiled: "You love me when you say this, let's change it when you go to Tianhai City, Xiexie Manager Zhou's proposal." ”

"Hey, no thanks, who is with whom the two of us, Buddha is the Tao, this book was originally proposed by me xiangshang, haha."

"Oh? That's really thanks to Manager Zhou. ”

……

ended the long journey in talking and laughing, Gu Yang and Zhou Taosheng got acquainted with each other a lot, and the relationship made a breakthrough. When I arrived in Tianhai City, I bought clothes at the suggestion of the other party, rested for a night, and became familiar with the entire signing and selling process the next day in the company of Zhou Taosheng.

Finally, Thursday's book signing officially begins!
