On January 28, the new writers' rankings were announced.

Veteran mystery writer Zhong Liangqing topped the list with last year's best-selling "Wang Chen Detective Collection" series, while the well-known female writer June Hua was in second place, and the annual sales of books under their names both exceeded 10 million.

As for the third place......

If it weren't for the huge drive of "Frozen" at the beginning of the year, the sales of Laobai's picture books in the West have skyrocketed several times, and the TV series and game adaptation rights of the domestic Condor Trilogy have all been sold, and various peripheral incomes have also begun to increase significantly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep this third position!

Lao Bai, who has not published a book for almost two years, said that he is very satisfied to be ranked third.

"That's satisfied? It's really unproductive! ”

For her younger brother's thoughts, Lin Lin, who was a cousin, immediately expressed serious disdain.

Zheng Jia next to him also nodded his head frequently, pouted, and said, "That's right, if you publish two more books last year and this year, maybe you can directly have a triple championship...... I've checked, the best thing in China is Zhuge Qing's two consecutive championships, if it is three consecutive championships, it will be a record! ”

"Hey, you thought it was so easy to set a record!"

Leaning lazily on the sofa, Sun Peng was suddenly happy.

Anyway, what was the reason for his last ranking at the top of the list? Isn't it because China's martial arts culture was just booming at that time? Sun Peng had already saved seven or eight sets of martial arts that year, and they were all the most classic ones on the planet, plus "Dragon Gate Inn" gave fans a different world of kung fu......

But after several years of rapid expansion of the number of followers, it has now slowly stabilized.

It is certainly unrealistic to want to replicate the golden age of martial arts on earth.

The times are different, even if martial arts is extremely fresh for people in this world, but after all, this is an era of a hundred flowers, all kinds of TV and movie works are extremely rich, and martial arts is just one of the categories. For example, Chinese science fiction, reasoning and other genres have developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and Zhong Liangqing, who ranked first this year, is the most typical representative of them.

Maybe with the passage of time, when martial arts TV series and martial arts movies mature little by little and begin to exert their power on the big and small screens, the sales of martial arts will further increase, but it will take time to precipitate!

Of course, more importantly, more excellent martial arts authors and boutiques appear!

Relying on the seven or eight sets of books that Sun Peng moved by himself, it is impossible to support martial arts culture. If you really want to make it completely up, in addition to launching a strong offensive in the fields of TV series, movies, comics and even games, it is more important to have a continuous stream of high-quality martial arts! Just like there are hundreds of martial arts writers from Hong Kong and Taiwan on the earth in addition to Jin Guliang, and later countless fans in the mainland also turned to codewords to contribute to martial arts culture......

So now that there are tens of millions of iron fans, Sun Peng is already very content.

"Alright, don't talk about this uselessness."

At this time, Sun Ya, who had been looking at her small book next to her and didn't speak, suddenly waved her hand, interrupting Lin Lin and Zheng Jia, who wanted to continue talking, and looked at Sun Peng and said, "Xiaopeng, the focus now is on your new book!" The publication of "Han Bo and Lingshi" has not yet been decided, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid we will not see the book in March or April! ”

"Oh? What do the two publishers say? ”

Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng asked with a smile.

"Both are the same, and the maximum is seventeen points."

Twisting her neck, Sun Ya said calmly: "The Scholar Publishing House promised to print 1.5 million copies for the first time, which is much higher than the 1 million of that one, but it is still a little insufficient for the Halo Publishing House...... The light wheel is now quoted at 20 percent royalty, with a first printing of 800,000 copies! ”

When she heard this, Lin Lin's eyes lit up: "Light Wheel Publishing House? Does the name seem famous? ”

Zheng Jia had obviously studied it, and immediately replied with a wink: "Of course, the light wheel of the people is indeed a comprehensive big shrine, and the strength is probably not worse than that of the scholar!" By the way, June Flower, who ranked second this year, used to publish books in the light wheel, and only changed jobs the year before last! ”

Nodding, Sun Ya confirmed: "Jiajia is right, the strength of the light wheel is indeed strong enough, and because of June Hua's job-hopping, there is an urgent need for a big bull to support the scene, so I will give you the condition of 20% royalty!" You must know that there are only three or five writers in the entire Huaxia who can get this ratio! ”

"Tsk, isn't our Xiaopeng qualified?"

Hearing Lin Lin's disapproving voice, Sun Ya frowned and said: "If Xiaopeng is still martial arts this time, not to mention the light wheel that is urgently needed by big-name writers, I'm afraid that scholars will dare to offer 20% of the royalty, after all, the sales volume is guaranteed." But this time he wrote children's literature...... You tell me? ”

The royalty of 20% means that the publishing house itself does not have much profit margin left.

It is important to know that it is impossible for publishers to sell books directly to readers on their own, and they often do so through physical distributors or online bookstores. At this time, they generally supply to dealers at a 5% to 6% discount, and in the 5% or 6% off of the income, taxes and fees, editing and printing costs, and management, publicity and other expenses must be deducted......

After listening to the second sister's explanation, Zheng Jia smiled with a smile in his eyes: "Then this is a simple multiple-choice question - two publishing houses with similar strength, the royalties of the book are lower, but first, the cooperation is more pleasant, and second, the first printing of 1.5 million is very sincere; Although the royalty of the light wheel is high, the first printing is only half of others, and the risk of the first cooperation is relatively large! ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Jia's eyes looked at Sun Peng.

“……”

When the eyes of the three people drifted to him at the same time, Sun Peng said that he was under a lot of pressure, and then his expression instantly sank and said, "Hey, are you two more idle now?" I'll discuss this matter with my second sister, what are you two laymen doing together? ”

"Cut, we're not relatively idle, we're very idle!"

Rolling his eyes, Zheng Jia said angrily: "This is about to be the New Year, isn't everyone idle...... Hurry up, tell me which one you prefer! ”

finally had the opportunity to get involved, Zheng Jia and Lin Lin were full of interest.

"Me? Doesn't matter. ”

Sighing helplessly, Sun Peng's gaze turned to the direction of the second sister: "Sister, what do you think?" Anyway, each has its own benefits, and I think it's okay. ”

Although I personally tend to continue to cooperate with Shuxiang, Sun Peng is also very excited about the 20% share of the light wheel.

For Sun Ya, the answer to this multiple-choice question is very simple: "Okay, then cooperate with the light wheel!" Twenty percent royalties, that's the treatment of a truly top writer...... If the scholar is not willing to give, then we will start a new one! Anyway, what you wrote this time is not martial arts, basically it has no impact! ”

In the agent's opinion, not to mention how much the three-point royalty gap means, Sun Ya, the famous leader of the twenty-point share, feels that it must be won!

And......

"The light wheel is a big shrine, no problem!"

Blinking, Sun Ya then smiled: "Although the number of first prints is a little less, the publicity that people promised is not discounted at all!" So next......"

"Ding-dong! Ding dong! ”

Just as Sun Ya was halfway through her words, the doorbell of Sun Peng's house rang.

"Sister Chang, she should be here."

Without looking at the monitor at all, Sun Peng had already gotten up and stood up.

went out to open the door, and after a while, Liu Chang followed Sun Peng to the living room at home, and then his eyes widened in surprise: "Yo, what day is it today, why are you here?" ”

"The second sister came to me to talk about the new book, as for her...... Come and play the game with me! ”

Pointing at his cousin Lin Lin, Sun Peng yawned and said.

Looking at Lin Lin's pouting and angry appearance, Liu Changwan smiled. She also knew that this girl liked to play the game of PUBG very much, and she especially liked to run to the boss's house to play, so it was not surprising, and she quickly said: "Okay, let's get down to business, are you going to the Oscars and Grammys?" The final deadline is just around the corner. ”

Since Liu Chang's assistant work has been on the right track, a lot of the work of the original agent has been handed over to her.

"The League of Assassins is going to start filming, and the Oscars are not going."

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "But Grammy's words still have to go around, tomorrow I will go to Brother Luo's side to make an appointment with him." As for saying that the Oscars have nothing to do with me, and they don't even give an award presenter, and they are far from the Grammys, what am I going to do? ”

Luo Cheng is definitely the big winner in this year's Grammys, and Sun Peng's absence is not appropriate, but Oss's words are ......

Tsk, just go to the red carpet and show your face?

Sun Peng is not one of those stars who rubbed the red carpet, without the slightest interest!

And in his opinion, the Oscar organizing committee is too chicken, just thinking about inviting Sun Peng to participate, instantly attracting the attention of a wave of his fans, but he didn't even give a place as an award presenter. Compared with them, the Grammys are at least much more sincere, in addition to the nomination for the Best Producer award, there is also the status of the heavyweight Best Female Singer award presenter!

"Well, it's actually normal."

Blinking his eyes, Liu Chang smiled and said: "Not to mention anything else, just the dozens of English songs of Luo Chen and the others have already established your identity as a world-class musician....... I'm afraid you still need to accumulate more. ”

"So, I just won't go!"

"Okay, I see."

Although there was a little regret, Liu Chang quickly nodded and said: "There is another new thing to tell you, that is, the new power ranking of the Chinese entertainment industry has just been released, and this time the boss is in a high position......
