Chapter 11 Signing, Rewarding
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, worthy of being a big publishing house, straight to the point, straight to the point.
"Yes, it's still in my hands. All Copyrights. ”
"Okay, Mr. Lin, we can talk about it first. I read the chapters you sent me, and the narrative style is very novel, not in classical Chinese, but similar to prose, with a lot of exclamations and a lot of interesting sentences. The ideas are even more profound. All in all, it's a very good book, and it's a classic to exaggerate. I want to buy a copy of the collection. But is the same true for the rest of the story? Chen Zhuo sighed.
"Oh, Editor-in-Chief Chen has won the award. The latter will definitely maintain the same level, please rest assured that Editor-in-Chief Chen. In addition, Editor-in-Chief Chen is so frank, isn't he afraid that I will open my mouth. Lin Feng was a little playful.
"Haha, that's good, I believe it. It's too much to play tricks in front of someone who can write such a classic book. It's better to be generous and honest. Chen Zhuo laughed.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen is indeed the editor-in-chief of the largest publishing house in Windy City. So let's talk about the contract. Lin Feng complimented, and then turned the topic to the contract.
"That's good. Similarly, when an author publishes a book, our publishing house generally pays remuneration in two ways, one is in the form of royalties, and the other is a buyout. You see what you think is the way. Talking about business, Chen Zhuo also became solemn.
After a pause, Chen Zhuo continued: "Royalties are not taxes, they are a way to pay remuneration, and the final remuneration that authors can get is the royalties negotiated by the book sales volume or the unit price of the book. The royalty is expressed in percentage terms, and the contract is signed with our publisher before the book is published. ”
"The buyout is much simpler, we directly give a buyout price, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions or according to the number of words to buy out all the copyrights of the book, and from then on, all the copyrights of the book will be transferred to our publishing house, and the author has no relationship. As for how much money our publishing house can make from operating books, whether it loses or earns, it is not the author's business. ”
After saying it in one breath, Chen Zhuo didn't speak, just looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "There are two ways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. According to the first type, if the book is sold well after it is launched, there will be a win-win situation for me and your company, but the risk is high. I choose the second way of buyout cooperation, I take the money directly, which is very stable. But if it's a bestseller, it won't matter to me. ”
Chen Zhuo's face still smiling did not change, but he secretly sighed in his heart, and instantly figured out the key to it, talent!
"I choose the first option, but how much royalties can your company give me?"
Chen Zhuo said according to the draft: "Before you came, we had a small meeting with Fanxing, and after discussion, we can give you six percent of the royalty, what do you think?" ’
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Editor-in-chief Chen, let's do this, Wukong Biography sells nationwide, I only need 50,000 yuan for less than 300,000 copies, if the sales can reach 300,000 copies, I want 1% royalties, 600,000 copies I want 8% royalties, and I want 15% royalties for more than 1.5 million copies." It's whole, not exceeding. ”
Chen Zhuo was shocked, your heart is too high, "Lin Feng, are you thinking about it, I admit the quality of Wukong Chuan, but after all, you are a newcomer." ”
"Thank you Editor-in-Chief Chen for your kindness, I have confidence." Lin Feng cut the railway.
Chen Zhuo smiled helplessly, let the market test it. Anyway, the results shouldn't be too bad, and you should be able to earn some, just how much. The contract was drawn up in duplicate, and both parties signed it after confirming that it was correct.
Chen Zhuo sent Lin Feng to the elevator, "I hope to continue to cooperate in the future, and I will be a writer of Lin University in the future." ”
"Definitely." Lin Feng smiled.
Shake hands and say goodbye. The storm of Wukong's legend is about to sweep over.
..。。
When he got home, Lin Feng put the contract away first and then sent the remaining chapters to Editor-in-Chief Chen.
On the way home, he called the other two publishing houses to apologize for canceling the appointment, but before he could open his mouth, he heard that the reservation was unsuccessful, Lin Feng was stunned, it turned out to be like this, and it was solved.
It's just why are they the same three major publishing houses, and why is there such a big gap in vision? As everyone knows, the two editors-in-chief that day didn't see the book, so they were read two chapters by the people below, and some of them were denied. And after Wukong spread the fire, the two editors-in-chief were furious, but they could only helplessly watch the stars make a lot of money.
Cleaned up a bit. Lin Feng turned on the computer and boarded the author's background, refreshed the page, looked at the books, and found that at this time, Dou Po's collection had already broken through the 50,000 mark.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Dou Po to start showing its charm so soon, I didn't expect book friends to be so powerful, the number of collections is growing well, and next week will definitely be famous on all lists."
Lin Feng moved his mouse slightly, and he clicked on the Doupo page.
At this time, the number of clicks on Dou Po has exceeded 200,000, total, it is also as much as 30,000, and Zhou *** has reached more than 10,000, this is the current data situation of Dou Po, this data can be regarded as quite gratifying, a newcomer has just changed 10,000 words or 20,000 words of absolute encouragement.
The mouse directly pulls down and comes to the book review area.
At this time, the book review area was completely a sea of red, and seeing such a huge formation, even Lin Feng, who was a human being in two lifetimes, was slightly sluggish......
Lin Feng muttered, "Floating Red Slaughter Version, as for it?" The charm of Dou Po has changed time and space, and it has also risen. That's amazing! ”
Floating Red Tu Edition, the entire book review area, without the slightest soy sauce post, is all a sea of red, although it is not a very high amount, but this is a real monetary encouragement.
【Reward】The sky is falling, the spring is surging, and the talent of Mr. is like a thunderbolt that shakes my heart, and it is difficult to express my heart if I don't give a reward.
"The hundred-year-old bookworm rewarded the full moon purple city with 1,000 coins, and today's book of the accidental Guanjun is so powerful, *** send it, reward some, a little bit of heart!"
【Reward】The sky is falling, the spring is surging, and the talent of Mr. is like a thunderbolt that shakes my heart, and it is difficult to express my heart if I don't give a reward.
"The hot-blooded boy rewarded the full moon purple city with 100 coins, I want to see it, and I want to see it, and I express my heart! Urging the change. ”
【Reward】The sky is falling, the spring is surging, and the talent of Mr. is like a thunderbolt that shakes my heart, and it is difficult to express my heart if I don't give a reward.
"As always, the junior rewarded the full moon purple city 666 coins, don't say anything, add more."
…………
Lin Feng took a look, countless rewards were red, and every post was not topped, but the replies in the back were all covered with more than two hundred floors, and after refreshing the page, Lin Feng found that every post was followed by book friends lining up to support and celebrate.
Lin Feng looked at it, and replied to the post later.
"The Floating Red War, there are so many local tyrants, how good this ** is for me!"
"Hit the soy sauce passing by, you go on!"
"Upstairs, dare to occupy the front row and abolish you."
"The two upstairs, warn once, and then find out that they will definitely delete the post and wait! I have sealed you. ”
…………
One by one, the book friends made all kinds of remarks, Lin Feng read it patiently, although most of the book friends were joining in the fun, but it is undeniable that the current Dou Po is full of charm, attracting the attention of many readers, because Lin Feng checked the red time of the post, and it was ten minutes ago.
In ten minutes, more than 500 floors were built, and now it has reached 600, which has to be said to be a miracle, and the gold is shining there.
"Don't say anything, add more at night, you have to add more." Lin Feng's blood was boiling, he was excited, he made a decision in his heart, and then began to code words, save manuscripts, and prepare to break out. The second expected plot of Dou Po appeared, cultivation; The first is, of course, a slap in the face. Ha ha.
Lin Feng closed the webpage and calmed down his mood, but the passion was still the same, and then he opened DW and started the codeword work, in a state of passion, Lin Feng broke out the limit of the codeword speed as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. The words in his mind were transformed into jumping words under Lin Feng's increasingly flexible fingers, which appeared in the computer documents.
