Chapter 70
"Mr. Yang's idea is not too conservative, the world says that it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and many times the opportunity waits for no one!" Yang Jie still did not give up persuasion, "Moreover, I think Mr. Yang's worries are completely unnecessary. Who said that after becoming famous, it will affect her life, and we are just announcing some information about Miss Yang, and we will pay attention to the scale to ensure that it does not affect Miss Yang's usual life. ”
"I believe in your promises, but I don't trust the journalists who are in the news, and the readers who are over-the-top." Yang Guohua, who has been subjected to Zhong Xiaoyun's popular science about paparazzi and brain-dead fans, did not give in at all, "Some people have no bottom line for their own interests, and I can't take risks." ”
No matter what Yang Jie said, Yang Guohua did not agree to her proposal. Yang Jie, who has been invincible at the negotiation table, met Yang Guohua, who admitted death, and she felt very hurt. Out of the corner of her eye, Yang Jie glanced at Yang Qianxi, who was boringly "archaeological" the teacup in her hand, and decided to save the country.
"Miss Yang, what is your opinion?"
"Ahh
Yang Jie smiled slightly: "Sister Yang, you are the author of this book, I think I should ask your opinion about publicity." An elegant lady said that women should be famous early, has Sister Yang ever thought about holding an autograph session or something like that? You also know the reaction of those readers on the Chinese Internet, they like your work very much, and they are also very willing to meet the author, can Sister Yang bear to disappoint them? ”
Regarding Yang Jie's idiotic coaxing method, Yang Qianxi couldn't help but complain in her heart about how Yang Jie, the manager, did it, and she couldn't find a good word to deceive people. Yang Qianxi is not the kind of girl who is really a teenager, her eyes lit up when she heard that she was famous. She thinks that she is a strange aunt who has experienced a lot, and the first thing she sees about being famous is not the benefits, but the various troubles that come with it.
Moreover, Yang Qianxi's goal in this life is to earn worship points, and now she has disclosed her identity, although she can get a lot of worship points, but it can only affect a short period of time. If her authorship was announced after she became famous later, the shock and fans she got at that time would be the most. Yang Qianxi is not worried that her fans will suspect her of cheating them in the future, after all, she has always used her real name when she wrote the book, but no one found out.
"Sister, I just said that I just want to be a storyteller, and I want my audience to care more about the quality of my story than about me as a person." Yang Qianxi looked innocent, and was not moved by Yang Jie's demagogy at all.
T^T
Looking at the father and daughter opposite who were not interested in fame and fortune at all, Yang Jie really had no choice. She stood up and said apologetically, "I already understand what you mean. Because this matter is very different from what our publishing house expected, I need to ask our leaders now, so I can only wait here for a while. Is there anything else going on with the three of you? If there is any, we can also agree on the next meeting. ”
Yang Guohua shook his head, "We don't have anything to do, Manager Yang, please, we are waiting for you in the room." ”
"That's rude."
After Yang Jie went out, the waiter of the teahouse brought all kinds of delicious refreshments and the latest newspapers, which were probably ordered by Yang Jie, worried that the three of them would be bored in the room. The three of them were not polite, Yang Guohua and Zhang Po picked up their favorite newspapers, while Yang Qianxi focused on refreshments - although she was already a strange aunt in her heart, Yang Qianxi, a physical child, couldn't care about her delicious mouth at all.
When Yang Jie came back again, it was already half an hour later, she smiled apologetically at Yang Guohua and said, "I have already discussed with the publishing house, since Miss Yang is unwilling to disclose any information about herself, then our later publicity will take the mysterious route, depending on luck and the audience of the book itself." Again, because Miss Yang is a new author and we have to take more risks, the cost of Ms. Yang's book is not so high. ”
"It doesn't matter, our family doesn't live on manuscript fees. As long as your company abides by the contract, everyone is happy to cooperate. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome for me to publish my own book. Yang Guohua didn't think that Yang Qianxi's manuscript fee was much at all, and in his opinion, it was only a few thousand yuan, which was better than the kind of free. After all, there is so much money for a book, and bookstores and publishing houses have to earn a part of the cost of publishing books and labor, so the affirmation for the author is very small. Moreover, Yang Guohua heard Yang Qianxi say that what she posted on the Internet is still free, which is better than free.
Yang Jie was stunned, she didn't expect Yang Guohua to have such an attitude towards the manuscript fee, she didn't know whether she should be happy that the other party was not a greedy person or sad that the other party looked down on the Beijing Publishing House and thought that they couldn't give a good price.
"Manager Yang, in addition to buying out all at once and paying the manuscript fee directly, I wonder if there is any other way to pay the manuscript fee? For example, dividing? Didn't you say that the company took more risk of publishing my book, and I knew that it was a bit unkind for us not to cooperate with the publicity, so I felt that I could share the risk with the publisher. I can take as much as I sell my books, and I won't let the publisher suffer. Yang Qianxi looked at Yang Jie with an innocent and beautiful face, but no one knew what she really thought in her heart.
"You want to share?" Yang Jie shook her head, "We don't accept sharing. Little sister, don't love watching TV and novels too much, the so-called pig's feet use a share to slap the face and then make a lot of money, that's all a lie, in reality, the businessman is willing to do things that suffer. Let's be clear, after we sign the contract, the first issue of your book is going to print 50,000 copies, try the effect, if the book is bought well, the publisher needs to print it.
There are two ways to pay our manuscript fee, one is to pay the manuscript fee in full at one time, buy out the paper copyright of the book, and the book will have nothing to do with the author no matter how many editions it is published in the future. The second is to pay a manuscript fee for publication, and the manuscript fee is different every time you sign a contract, according to market changes. Of course, there is another condition, Beijing Publishing House is the first publishing house of "Under the Yellow Cypress Tree", and Miss Yang needs to ask our opinion before publishing it in other publishing houses. So, Miss Yang and Mr. Yang, do you think that way is better? ”
The father and daughter of the Yang family didn't understand the rules of the publishing house at all, so they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhang Po. As a consultant lawyer, Zhang Po quickly explained the differences and benefits, and finally said: "If it is for convenience and peace of mind, Mr. Yang and Miss Yang can sign the copyright of the book directly to the publishing house." But if Mr. Yang and Miss Yang are particularly confident in this book and have more plans for this book, you can sign it one by one. In general, as long as it is a good book, the second type will of course sell for more money. ”
"Yue'er, you decide for yourself. I haven't read your book, but do you have faith in your book! If there is, we will sign the second option, and if not, then sign the first one! Yang Guohua said.
"Let's sign the second one!" Of course, Yang Qianxi has confidence in her book, and she is still waiting for her to be exposed when she becomes famous. Yang Qianxi was able to meet not only her fans skyrocketing, but the books she wrote must have been bought out of stock. I know that I will make money, so why do I need a cheap publishing house.
"Then listen to Yue'er, let's sign the second type!" Yang Guohua made the final decision.
Yang Jie is not surprised by their choice, many authors who have confidence in themselves will choose like this, but unfortunately some authors are really famous, and some are blind and arrogant. Yang Jie didn't know which kind of Yang Qianxi was, but she hoped that she was the first type, a good author would be useful to the Beijing Publishing House, even if it cost more money, it would be able to earn back on the author.
"This is a contract, please take a look at Mr. Yang." Yang Jie took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago and pushed it in front of Yang Guohua, "The Beijing Publishing House is only going to publish 50,000 copies this time, and the manuscript fee is 12,000, and we don't help the author pay taxes." If Mr. Yang and Ms. Yang feel that there is no objection, please sign here. ”
Yang Guohua probably glanced at it a few times, and saw the amount of money and the book in it clearly, but he didn't understand the rest at all. Yang Guohua didn't hide it, and directly handed the contract to Zhang Po and asked him to take a good look. Yang Jie didn't care about the distrust shown by Yang Guohua, the contract, there was nothing wrong with being careful. Zhang Po looked at the contract word by word, looked at it for about twenty minutes, and finally confirmed that there were no hidden clauses in it, and then handed the contract to Yang Guohua and nodded to him.
"Mr. Yang, can you sign now?"
"Hahaha, of course. Manager Yang, don't mind our rudeness just now, after all, it's a contract, and it's about my daughter, so I don't feel at ease if I don't read it carefully. Yang Guohua signed the contract with a smile and asked Yang Qianxi to sign it as well.
"It doesn't matter, the contract should be read clearly, otherwise it will be troublesome if there is any dispute in the future." Yang Jie also signed her name on the contract and stamped the company's seal on it. Yang Jie collected one of the contracts and handed the other one to Yang Guohua. Yang Guohua also put it away carefully, for fear of falling off.
"Does Mr. Yang know that there are ×× banks around? It's better to be a little bigger. Yang Jie said, "Since our contract has been negotiated, it is better for us to settle both money and goods." We went to the bank to transfer money, and then I left you an email address, and Miss Yang passed all the manuscripts of the book to me when she returned. As for the content of Miss Yang's Chinese website, well, let's suspend it for two days. I think Miss Yang can apply for the paid chapters of the website, after all, our book is about to be published, and if the chapters on the Internet are all free, many people have read the book online, and no one will buy the physical book. ”
"Okay, Manager Yang, I know, I'll do what you said when I go back."
Yang Jie nodded, then went to the bank to take out the manuscript fee and gave it to Yang Guohua. Yang Guohua sent Yang Jie and Zhang Po away, and took Yang Qianxi to deposit the money in her passbook. At this point, the signing of the contract is finally over.
Looking at the five-digit deposit on the passbook, Yang Qianxi was very satisfied, and hugged the passbook tightly, for fear of losing it, so that Yang Guohua secretly scolded Yang Qianxi for being a money fan.
