Chapter 33: Say No to Temptation
Zhige Ju is not here, can you give a parking space? If it doesn't work, Zhang Tui can also do it.
opened Q, and a lot of such messages popped up, which made Han Li very helpless. In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, in the face of so many invitations, Han Li still did not agree.
But there are some groups that he still wants to join, such as a group that edited cookies and invited Han Li to join. This should be a group of old authors of the entire website, and its threshold is also very high, basically only above the boutique can enter.
The meaning of cookies is very simple, let Han Li add it, and exchange writing experience and skills with old authors. It's hard to get results, and you can't write it down. This is what Han Li is unwilling to, and it is also the last thing that Cookie wants to see.
In addition, there are some more familiar friends who recommend or invite, and Han Li always has to give some face. Although we have said a little achievement, we can't be too blind to no one, we still have to learn to be a person.
After being added, although Han Li was relatively low-key, he was inevitably complimented. Of course, no matter what sincerity or hypocrisy, that's it, Han Li didn't take it seriously.
However, there are benefits to adding in. Han Li also got to know many people in the circle, many of whom were legendary or god-level figures.
Han Li also learned a lot of things from these exchanges, such as the control of the rhythm of the article, the description of the hearts of different characters, and the avoidance of sensitive words. I don't know if I don't see this, I was really shocked when I saw it, there are really too many things for him to learn and learn from.
In fact, people are quite realistic, when you have some achievements, everyone surrounds you, or flatters you.
When they get acquainted, they make their request or just say it.
And Han Li encountered the most during this time, that is, he wanted to push the chapter and the parking space. The so-called parking space is a fixed recommendation position under each book in the old version of the website, and the author of each book can recommend seven or eight books on the homepage of his book, and it is valid for a long time.
And the recommendation positions of some great god books and big fire books have naturally become the object of competition for many online authors. It's just that this recommended position is limited, and it is basically in a state of more wolves and less meat.
And after Han Li's results came up, the editor cookie also gave him a special explanation in this regard. Let him not give these parking spaces casually, even if he wants to give them, he has to look at the quality of the other party's books.
In cookie parlance, you are responsible for recommending to your book friends. If the book you recommend is not good, it will cause the opinions of the book friends to affect your credibility.
Therefore, Han Li is very cautious about recommending these parking spaces, and generally does not give them easily, and has only given them to a few good author friends so far. As for the rest, Han Li didn't let go of it much.
Of course, the parking space is not given, but Zhang Tui at least has to give it, otherwise he will be too bad at being a person.
In the face of so many private messages every day, Han Li collected them. Then look through it yourself, see that the books are good, and then send a single chapter every few days to recommend these books in a centralized manner.
In this way, Han Li can also be regarded as giving an explanation to these authors. In his words, there are too many people who privately message him every day, and he can only recommend them like this. Otherwise, if you separate it, it will affect the reader's experience. And in this way, these authors have nothing to say.
As for the readers, they also understand what Han Li means. Take a look at what you want to see, and skip it if you don't want to see it.
Just when Han Li was struggling to save the manuscript and waiting for the start of school, the editor suddenly contacted him.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Han Li asked.
Cookie then replied, "How many tens of thousands of words are left at the end of the second volume of your book?" ”
"Volume two, I'll take a look."
Han Li looked at the manuscript, and then replied: "There are probably more than 100,000, what's wrong?" ”
“OK!”
After giving a gesture emoji, Cookie stopped talking.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Cookie said, "I'll tell you something." ”
"Say, I'll listen." Seeing that there was something serious, Han Li also got serious and said.
Cookie replied: "Your book has a good score, and now a company has come to talk to us about the audio copyright of the book." You see whether it will be handed over to us to deal with, or you will come over and we will negotiate with the three parties. ”
"Audio copyright, you mean the copyright of audio novels." Han Li was a little surprised.
"Yes!"
Cookie explained: "It's the copyright of audio novels, and there is currently an audio novel recording company that has taken a fancy to the audio copyright of your book and is ready to buy it all out, and they will record and sell it exclusively. ”
After listening to the explanation of the cookies, Han Li understood. Audio copyright, Han Li still knows something about this.
There are two main sales channels for audio novels, the first is MP3 paid auditions and downloads on the Internet, and the other is to sell them to local radio stations.
At present, Polka Dot does not have its own audio novel channel, so the copyright of the audio can only be sold. When the contract was signed, relevant provisions were also made in this regard, and Han Li and the website shared the royalties in this regard.
It's just that this company wants to buy out the audio copyright of Han Li's entire book, which makes him a little reluctant. After all, according to the current situation, the book's grades are definitely getting better and better. If you buy it outright, you will definitely suffer a loss.
Thinking of this, Han Li immediately replied: "Boss, if we buy it out directly, then we will suffer a lot." ”
Cookie gave Han Li a smiling expression, and then said, "We naturally know this aspect, but this time the price given by this company is very high." If they bought out the whole book exclusively, they gave a total of 700,000. After deducting all kinds of taxes and fees, you can get about 300,000 yuan. ”
Three hundred thousand, Han Li nodded. This price is indeed good, but it has not yet reached the figure expected by Han Li.
"Boss, this price is good, but it's still a little low. Have you ever thought about splitting the whole novel and selling it volume by volume, so that the price will definitely be much higher? Han Li told Cookie Dao his thoughts.
Cookie made a nodding expression and said, "We have naturally considered this plan, but the risk is actually quite large." Can you be sure that your grades in the rest of this book have always been so good that they won't collapse? And there are too many uncertainties in the cultural industry, if something goes wrong later, it won't be like it is now. ”
What the cookie says is also true, and Han Li has confidence in the content of the rest of the book. But as Cookie said, there are too many uncertain factors behind it, and who knows what happens behind this book. So in this regard, it is understandable that the website has such concerns.
However, Han Li thought about it again, and according to his memory, it seemed that there was nothing big in the future. So thinking about it like this, Han Li suddenly made a decision.
"Boss, I've decided, let's split it up and sell it."
"You think about it, if you sign the contract now, you can get 300,000 yuan immediately."
"I have faith in my book, it will be more than these 300,000."
"Okay, I see."
