Chapter 219: Inflated?
The two publishing houses that are keeping in touch with Sun Ya will naturally not ignore the grand events in the online literature industry!
Shuxiang Chinese wants to talk about Lao Bai's new books "Tianlong Babu" and "Lu Ding Ji", and the more Sun Peng tosses here, the more attention he pays to it, and there are joys and worries. The good news is that after all, the sales of physical books in the future mainly depend on how influential they are on the Internet, and there is definitely no need to worry about it after this toss; The worry is that Sun Peng's fame has risen a lot now, and the contract is even more difficult to discuss.
In addition to the scent of books, so do sunflowers.
Although Sun Peng wants to publish children's picture books with them, but now that his fame has skyrocketed, he is afraid that no publisher will be willing to publish it? Even if Sunflower is confident that it stands out in the Beijing Children's Book Publishing House, it doesn't dare to hold it up.
And then......
The shrewd Sun Ya changed her attitude in a timely manner, and put on a posture of "My brother is so awesome, I can go to a more awesome publishing house to talk to", and the two publishing houses naturally panicked: This guy's popularity is now like a rocket, what can he do if he lets it go?
So Sun Ya took a taxi to the old house and drove a new car...... Oh, and went home with the car purchase contract.
Just made more than one million, Sun Peng was satisfied for a while.
Since throwing all his money to DreamWorks in the first two months, this is the first time Sun Peng has spent a lot of money, and it was the second sister who borrowed him temporarily. The biggest expense on weekdays is to do maintenance for the car or go out to have a meal with Zheng Jia, so after a long time, I saw that a large number was missing from the account, even if it was not for himself, Sun Peng felt a little cool inexplicably!
Tsk, that's the motivation to make money!
In fact, Sun Peng himself doesn't know what the use of making so much money is, although he has not been a rich man in his two lives, but he has no special pursuit of money, living in a 200-square-meter courtyard house is happy, and he doesn't feel bad about driving a car of 200,000 yuan. But when it came to the bone, he still pondered how to add more to the account, and add a little more.
So the second sister won the negotiation with the two publishing houses, and Sun Peng was also very happy.
Sun Peng looked at the time, called his girlfriend and wanted to make an appointment for dinner, but the person was on duty, and called his sister-in-law to go home to eat, but he happened to work overtime, and he could only return home a little lonely, and then hammered himself with garlic, put down a bowl of noodles, and lay two eggs by the way.
Open a bottle of beer and take two sips.
Originally, I just wanted to have a bottle to moisten my throat, but the weather was too hot, and I felt still thirsty after a few minutes of drying a bottle......
By the time Sun Peng opened the fifth bottle, he was taller.
In fact, it's no wonder that Sun Peng overestimated himself, in fact, he hasn't drunk a few times since he came, and he forgot that the most important thing about alcohol consumption is talent. So Sun Peng originally thought that he was still okay with ten bottles and eight bottles, at most he just ran the toilet diligently, but he didn't think that his body bones had now changed from two hundred and one to one hundred and two, and those few taels of meat couldn't hold so much ethanol at all.
So just opened the fifth bottle, and he was completely high.
Han Feng, who was so immortal, called again at this time, and shouted excitedly when he came up: "Bai Da, have you watched it backstage?" Today, it has risen by another 20,000 collections...... Ouch hey, that's a lot of speed! And I just looked at it on the Internet, it seems that Luo Cheng Luo Tianwang is shaking in the United States, that what is the list seems to be in the top twenty, and the next step must be it, let's ...... it."
"Oh, it's Han Da!"
Hearing the sound of chirping in the mobile phone, Sun Peng, who was dizzy at this moment, still heard the identity of the other party.
Boy, you're just in time!
Life is full of variety, and drinking is fully revealed.
Some people fall asleep when they are drunk, and they are quiet and do not say a word; Some people are very excited when they drink high, jumping up and down and laughing; Some people are depressed and depressed, and they burst into tears at every turn; There are also some people who like to play tricks when they drink high, and as long as they don't fall down completely, they keep babbling endlessly.
Sun Peng is the last one, the kind that likes to talk after drinking too much, that is, no one around him has been holding back uncomfortable.
Just as Han Feng crashed into the door.
That's you!
Shaking up his spirits, Sun Peng squirted...... Oh no, he began to say: "Han Da, you came just in time, it's not that I said that your scholarly Chinese network, it's too picky!" ”
"Huh? What do you mean? The person who signed the fourth-level contract said that we cut the door? ”
Han Feng was instantly blinded, and subconsciously looked at the mobile phone screen...... I made the wrong call!
Without waiting for Han Feng to come back, Sun Peng, who was poor at drinking, had already continued to spray like a machine gun......
For more than ten minutes, I squirted out I don't know how many words.
If you summarize Sun Peng's words in a little detail, that is, you see what Renjia Scholar Publishing House and Sunflower Publishing House do? Directly raised the royalty to the highest! What does that mean? It means that buddy is more awesome now, don't you make it? Dude, now it's the flow of books, don't you make it? Now Tianlong and Lu Ding Ji are still a bit of a fourth-level contract, can you make it? In the next book, we should talk about the level 5 contract, can't you make it?
If Sun Peng's words are summed up in one sentence, it is - he is no longer satisfied with the position of the supreme god, and hopes that this author's pyramid will come out with a sharper spire.
If Sun Peng is summed up in four words, it is - he is inflated!
Han Feng, who can't say anything about this series of things, was stunned and stunned, and couldn't help but look at the number on the screen again several times to see if he had called the wrong person.
It wasn't until he had enough fun saying that Sun Peng hung up the phone with a goodbye.
Go to bed, go to bed!
Han Feng, who was left on the other end of the phone, looked confused, listening to the busy sound in his ears, and he didn't know what was going on until now......
……
The next day, Shuxiang Chinese Network regular meeting.
"Put simply, it's a win-win marketing!"
In the large conference room, a middle-aged man with gold wire glasses said loudly: "But unfortunately, this marketing is not hosted by our Shuxiang Chinese Network, and we don't even have the ability to copy it!" Of course, in fact, I don't think there will be a second author who can successfully replicate it besides this old white. ”
"Hehe......"
As soon as the words of the gold wire glasses fell, a sound of good-natured laughter rang out in the conference room.
Everyone is not a layman, so they naturally know very well that even if there is a good song, it is impossible to invite a superstar of Ma Boyuan's level, unless someone can make six good songs like Lao Bai, and before that, they can sell eight or nine good songs to the two kings!
After being a little quieter, a thirty-eight or nineteen-year-old woman with short hair smiled: "Lao Bai's book collection should have exceeded two million, right?" Tsk, that's quite a remarkable achievement! From this point of view, the treatment we gave to this old white fourth-level author before was not excessive! ”
"Hehe, it's too much? I'm afraid that the next book will not even be a fourth-level author! ”
The middle-aged man pushed his eyes and said with a smile: "According to our editor's understanding, this Mr. Sun ...... That is, Lao Bai still doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the seventy percent share, and he has mentioned the five-level contract with the editor in the past two days! So we guess he'll be officially presenting the next book. ”
"Level five? No way! Scholar has never had a level 5 contract! ”
After listening to the words of the gold wire glasses, the short-haired woman pursed her lips disdainfully.
The scholarly Chinese with a big business is not the time when it was just started more than ten years ago, and being poached by an opponent to poach an ordinary author is like being dug up a piece of meat. Now its four supreme gods, more than 20 great gods, and small and medium gods are not counted, who is missing, and the earth will not turn the same way?
Regarding the attitude of the short-haired woman, there was a chorus of voices around.
"Huh."
With a chuckle, the gold-rimmed glasses didn't argue with them.
No way?
Fifteen points of royalties, didn't the publisher also say that it was impossible?
As a result, only a few days after the release of two new books? The publishing house hurriedly finalized the publishing contract with Sun Peng - fifteen points of royalties, and the contract period is still eight years!
These people are really used to being uncles.
So now it's not interesting to quarrel over this kind of thing, and when you go back and wait for someone to really bring it up, and then talk to you with millions of readers, you will naturally understand that nothing in this world is impossible......
……
"I'll just say, nothing is impossible!"
Shaking the publishing contract in her hand, Sun Ya smiled proudly: "It was negotiated yesterday morning, and the electronic version of the contract was sent to me today!" However, the contract period is still the eight years you requested, but I asked you for another point for royalties yesterday, and now it's thirteen points! Hehe, if it weren't for you releasing a new book and making such a fuss, it is estimated that Sunflower Publishing House would still be there for twelve and ten years! ”
After buying a new car, Sun Ya's enthusiasm as an agent is like being beaten with chicken blood.
"Uh...... Why is it thirteen again? ”
Looking at the second sister who was proud of the spring breeze, Sun Peng was completely messy in the wind!
That's not as good as twelve points!
However, this is not the time to discourage the enthusiasm of the agent, Sun Peng can only laugh dryly: "Yes, you have the ability, second sister!" By the way, how many sets is the first printing? ”
"Twenty-five thousand!"
When talking about the number of copies, Sun Ya's eyes immediately began to glow: "The publishing house thinks that you are gaining momentum now, so it has temporarily decided to print 25,000 copies for the first time." And because it was all coated paper printing, the final price was 380 yuan, and the royalties for the first printing were more than 1 million...... Hehe, there are fifty or sixty thousand in the account all of a sudden, so happy! ”
"Cut, look at your little bit of interest!"
despised the second sister, but Sun Peng himself was secretly frightened.
Damn, the books in this world are really expensive!
The whole set of picture books is three hundred and eight, and one will cost nearly forty, which is really not cheap. Sun Peng remembers that most of the original foreign picture books he told his niece in his last life were 6.99 or 7.99 euros with the same specifications, and only a few could sell higher.
Ignoring her brother's contempt, Sun Ya counted the small accounts happily: "The first printing of this set of picture books is still too little, and the income is not much for the time being, but at the end of the year, if "Tianlong Babu" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding" are completed, Renjia Scholar Publishing House will print 1.2 million sets in one go!" At that time, my share will be at least millions, and I will be able to pay off your kid's money at once, and I will still have a lot of oil money left......"
Too lazy to deal with the second sister who fell into fantasy, Sun Peng took the contract and signed it.
It's finally going to be published!
It has been two or three months since Yu Ruonan got the finished manuscript from them, although Zheng Jia has never urged, but Sun Peng himself is a little anxious. But after all, he is not a saint, and he will not sacrifice his own interests in order to deliver books to the children in the welfare home as soon as possible, but fortunately, now the contract is finally solid.
But......
After sending off the second sister, Sun Peng fell into contemplation again: "Strange, I must have told Han Feng a lot of things on the phone last night, but what is it?" Why can't I remember? ”
