After the party, Xiao Yulan took Miao Yueqing to the editor-in-chief's office. He was accompanied by Hu Qingying, the editor-in-chief, and a lawyer from the legal department.

The editor-in-chief's online name is Taiqingshan, and he is one of the founders of Qidian Literature Network, a veritable veteran in the company, a man in his thirties, with a peaceful smile and resolute bright eyes.

She also knew about the past life of this big coffee in advance, in the two years when the Qidian Literature Network was just established, he poached authors everywhere in other book stations to settle in Qidian, due to poor efficiency, he once mortgaged his house in Binhai to the bank, and took out loans to pay salaries to employees.

At that time, the network online payment was not yet developed, and readers could only transfer the fees to the company through the post office remittance, and he had to run between the post office and the bank every once in a while, and then stay up late at night to work overtime, and remit the corresponding amount of book currency to the readers' accounts on the website in front of the long remittance list.

Now that Qidian Literature Network has gathered tens of millions of readers, and a large number of high-level authors have settled in, and the performance is booming, the status of this big coffee is naturally rising.

Speaking from the heart, Xiao Yulan still admires this one, shopping malls are like battlefields, entrepreneurship is difficult, and anyone's success is not a fluke.

After a few small talks, the two sides cut to the chase.

“…… This is the terms of the agreement on the printing and publishing of the physical book, as well as the sales of the physical book, as well as the preliminary sample of the physical book, you can take a look at it first. ”

Taiqingshan pushed the printed contract text in front of her and said, "If there are any different ideas, you can also put them forward now, it is not non-negotiable." ”

Xiao Yulan took it and flipped it over, and handed it over to Miao Yueqing for review, of course, professional things still need professional people to operate better.

As for the samples of physical books, there are three kinds, which are divided into softcover, hardcover, and collector's editions, and the printing design is more delicate than the other, and the paper is also better. Especially the kind of collector's edition, which is actually double-sided high-gloss coated paper, just like that kind of boutique fashion luxury magazine, the cost price will naturally not be cheap.

As for the quantity, they are two million sets, one million sets and 500,000 sets, and it has been written in the agreement that they can continue to be printed if necessary, and the number is not capped.

The total number of words of "Buddha is the Way" is about two million words, a physical book is two or three hundred thousand words, and one set is eight, with the current price level in this world, the lite cover version is fifteen Chinese coins a book, and a set is one hundred and twenty yuan.

According to the agreement, for each set sold, the original author Xiao Yulan can get 10% of the manuscript fee income. If all the two million copies of the lite version are sold, she can get 24 million. And that's not even counting the hardcover and collector's editions.

Xiao Yulan thought for a while, hesitated and said, "Could it be too much?" I don't think I'll be able to sell out. ”

Taiqingshan smiled: "It's not much at all, if my estimate is not wrong, maybe you will have to print this book two or three times, as long as you are willing to keep writing, the popularity will only get higher and higher." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Yulan didn't say anything anymore, she was indeed not very familiar with the market situation in this world, according to the impression in her previous life, the physical book sales of Internet god-level authors were not very ideal, and it was not bad to be able to sell tens of thousands of copies, hundreds of thousands of copies, and there were not many sales of millions. Of course, there are exceptions, such as "Breaking the Sky", "Douluo Continent", "Tomb of the Gods", etc., and the sales of physical books are considerable.

In addition, in the Internet era, the general public is accustomed to reading books on the Internet, and only a few people are willing to buy physical books for collection.

But in this world, where piracy is largely extinct and the socio-economic prosperity is even greater than in previous generations, maybe the situation in this regard will be better, right?

Hu Qingying squeezed her hand and said enviously: "Lan Lan, as long as you mention it when you start the live broadcast again, who will not give face to fans with some economic conditions?" I don't think even if it's ten times more, I don't have to worry about not being able to sell! ”

Xiao Yulan thought about it, and vaguely remembered that in his previous life, a certain star relied on live broadcasts to sell facial masks, and as a result, he made hundreds of millions of deeds. On your own terms, it shouldn't be more difficult to sell a few more sets of books.

When Miao Yueqing and the lawyer finalized the details, Xiao Yulan signed the contract text, and the matter was settled.

Then, Taiqingshan took out another contract, which was an agreement on the adaptation of the work into comics, and it was also handed over to a publishing company that has a long-term cooperative relationship with Qidian Literature Network to operate, which has nothing to say, and it was signed and approved after the review.

As for games and film and television adaptations, this investment is relatively large, and it is unlikely that any company will be willing to try it for the time being, unless Xiao Yulan's fame can continue to skyrocket and grow into a first-line star or even a diva, it is estimated that there will be a lot of capital bosses who are willing to spend a lot of money for her at that time.

"Lan Lan, since the Buddha is the Tao is coming to an end, can you ask what you plan to write in your next book, and do you have any ideas now?" Hu Qingying asked.

"Well, I'll send you the idea and the beginning of the outline in your mailbox."

Xiao Yulan thought about it for a while, and the names of masterpieces such as Yang God, Perfect World, Eternal Life, and Bright Era appeared in his mind one after another, but he still had to think about which one to write.

After finishing the business, Xiao Yulan couldn't help but ask again: "According to the standard of the website, how much subscription data must be to be considered a god?" ”

Hu Qingying said: "According to the latest standard, the average subscription is 8,000, which can be classified as a boutique book channel, and the average subscription exceeds 30,000, so that it can be regarded as reaching the primary level of the great god." Only those who are booked more than 100,000 can be regarded as senior gods, and those who are booked 300,000 can be regarded as platinum gods. ”

"So high? It seems that I can only be regarded as a newbie village. ”

Xiao Yulan muttered, but now she understands what happened, there is no pirated world, and if you want to read a book, you can only spend money to subscribe, so the authors' subscription data is generally better, at least much stronger than the world in the previous life, and the average subscription of three thousand abounds, which is not a proud achievement for a long time.

"Well, it takes time to accumulate popularity, you can't write a book for half a year now, it's already an exaggeration to be able to have this level, and by this time next year, it is estimated that you will have no problem becoming a platinum god, even if you have booked more than one million supreme gods, it is not delusional!" Taiqingshan's tone is definitely authentic.

Xiao Yulan's heart moved slightly, for some unknown reason, the development level of online literature in this world is only equivalent to the stage around 2005 in the previous life, if in a few years, as the readership of online novels grows larger and larger, I am afraid that the supreme gods of the million average subscription level will become commonplace, right?

In other words, the number of online writers earning more than 100 million should appear in the next few years, and I will undoubtedly be one of them.
