"Bai Da said it well, I have to agree!"

After receiving Sun Peng's call, Zheng Yele, the editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, almost jumped up, and nodded his head in a hurry to express his strong approval!

Abandoning web serialization? Focused on brick-and-mortar publishing?

It has to be done!

didn't care about people calling just to ask for advice, Zheng Ye affirmed again and again: "Bai Da, with your current number of fans and fame, you don't need to continue serialization on the Internet at all!" How much does it cost to serialize a book? If these people buy a set of books...... Royalties must be a good deal! ”

Zheng Ye's account is fine.

According to the length of Tianlong and Lu Ding Ji, the paid chapter is at most one million words. A person subscribes to a thousand words for a penny, and a million words is about ten yuan, but what if this person buys a physical book without watching the online serial?

Tianlong's royalties, a set is at least thirty or forty!

The traditional book royalty model is much more powerful than the current electronic manuscript fee income!

"Huh."

Sun Peng just smiled and didn't refute anything.

Not to mention how many readers who read online articles are willing to spend hundreds or even two or three hundred to buy a set of physical books, just Zheng Ye's calculation is also a problem, and those fans who buy physical books have not read serialization on the Internet? Is it okay that there is a lot of overlap between the consumer groups of the two?

But Zheng Ye, who has interests in the family, doesn't care about these, as long as he thinks of the sales of Sun Peng's new book after the publication without the impact of online serialization, he feels that the whole person is going to burn, and he doesn't even have the heart to think about how sad his old friend Han Feng should be, and tries his best to persuade him: "Bai Da, in fact, if you want, I can even suggest that our boss discuss it with the upper echelons of the group, and it is not impossible to remove all the electronic versions of the previous books from the shelves......

In the final analysis, they are all subsidiaries of Scholar Media Group!

"Uh, you don't need that, do you?"

This time, Sun Peng didn't wait for Zheng Ye to finish speaking, and immediately sweated and said: "I'm still thinking about not even being serialized on the Internet, and you're starting to think about the removal of old books from the shelves?" No, no, I wouldn't consider that! ”

As long as the first few books are still hanging on the Shuxiang Chinese website, new readers will have the opportunity to see them, if they are really taken off the shelves, will it be just the attraction of physical books?

Internet reading is the trend of the times, and Sun Peng has not been arrogant to that point!

Even giving up online serialization, he's still thinking about it.

So after finding that Zheng Ye was obviously a little too excited at this time, Sun Peng immediately stopped the conversation, shook his head and said, "Okay, Zheng Da, I'll think about this matter again, let's talk about it later!" Anyway, it's still early before the next book comes out, and there are still two or three months left for the serialization of Tianlong and Lu Ding...... That's right! ”

Suddenly remembering something, Sun Peng said with a smile: "Zheng Da, if I really give up the online serialization, can we talk about the royalties of our new book again?" ”

"Huh? This ......"

Hearing this question, Zheng Ye was immediately stunned.

Fifteen o'clock, do you want to talk about it again?

For a while, Zheng Ye didn't know how to answer Sun Peng's question, because he knew that he didn't have to think about it at all!

Fifteen points, a proper top author level!

I know with my thighs that as long as Sun Peng has not won any top awards at home or abroad, or his influence has reached the level of a truly top physical writer in China, it is impossible for the upper echelons of the company to agree to this outrageous condition! Fifteen points is already the highest proportion that can be given by the domestic entity publishing industry, although it is only theoretical, but Shuxiang Publishing House will definitely not easily break this red line!

But if you can't say it directly, Zheng Ye doesn't dare to do it.

Although all kinds of martial arts have sprung up on the Internet now, who can reach the level of Lao Bai? Not to mention the now updated Tianlong and Luding Ji, even Lao Bai's original first book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", other people's best works are 108,000 miles away from it!

And......

Physical publishing and online publishing are completely different things, Lao Bai's book is rich in imagination, the plot is ups and downs, but the text is concise and simple, and the final length is at most more than one million words, which is already a tome in the physical field. If those online writers write and publish, how many books do you want? Is the pricing in the thousands?

Who would buy such a physical book except for real fans?

And more importantly, whose book can be as adaptable as Lao Bai?

This year, I found Shuxiang Chinese Network and Shuxiang Publishing House, wanted to contact Lao Bai, and how many companies bought the rights of martial arts adaptation? Undoubtedly, they all see the potential of adaptation of these books, and other people's can do this?

At least for a long time in the future, Lao Bai will still be the pinnacle of martial arts!

So after thinking about it, Zheng Ye didn't know how to answer this question. It's to say that you can talk about it, and the company can't agree to it, but it doesn't seem appropriate to say that it's not funny at all, what if this kid gets angry......

"Haha, just kidding!"

Hearing Zheng Ye's voice over there, he began to tremble, and Sun Peng ended the phone call with a laugh.

Of course, he understands this truth.

It is almost impossible for martial arts to win awards, so there is only one possibility for Shuxiang Publishing House to break through the fifteen-point red line: a certain part of Sun Peng's book sells more than six million copies a year! Only when this standard is met, the publisher will give a higher share, which is also an unwritten rule in the publishing industry.

At that point, an author represents more than just financial interests.

For this kind of writer who really stands at the top of the pyramid, the publisher thinks more about how much money they can make by publishing their books, but how much influence they can bring to themselves!

At least the current Sun Peng is not up to that level!

However, the consideration of giving up online serialization is true, Sun Peng must think about it carefully and weigh the pros and cons after giving up, after all, once a decision is made, the follow-up impact is not only tens of millions of manuscript fees a year, but even the promotion of martial arts......

……

"Hee-hee, in fact, it's not just these reasons for giving up online serialization, right?"

While carefully gouging out Sun Peng's ears, Zheng Jia tilted his head and grinned.

"Oh? What else do you think? ”

Pinching Zheng Jia's little nose, Sun Peng asked with a smile.

"Lazy!"

Grabbing Sun Peng's right hand and blinking a pair of big watery eyes, Zheng Jia said categorically: "Hmph, I've heard you complain countless times, saying that it is troublesome to update the code word every day...... Do you dare to say that there is no reason for abandoning online publishing? ”

"Uh......"

At this time, Sun Sun Peng couldn't laugh, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

He couldn't deny it!

Although it is not the main reason, as the single dog gets a girlfriend and indulges in the final version of adult games every day, Sun Peng does feel that the time is getting more and more insufficient. I have to do animation every day, I want to continue to exercise and gain weight, I have to play shame games, and I have to be busy writing songs for Chen Tianhou, Sun Peng really feels that it is a burden to update the code word every day.

No matter how fast you type, you have to type too, don't you?

A book is updated with five or six thousand words a day, and it takes nearly an hour just to finish typing, and at the same time, you have to check for typos and reformat - Lao Jin's segments can't be read on a mobile phone. In this case, two or three hours a day, can it not be annoying?

Once you give up on network updates, things are easy to do.

Sun Peng could have waited until he was free to set aside a month to finish a book and then hand it over to the publishing house for typesetting. Instead of typing every day as it is now, typing every day has almost become his daily task, and he can't do it for a day!

Of course, the question of why not save manuscripts when we were free in the past, we will never think about it......

"Look, I'm right!"

After reading Sun Peng's reaction, Zheng Jia suddenly said a little proudly.

"Uh...... You're right! ”

Sun Peng, who was told his thoughts, was annoyed and ashamed, and suddenly sneered, and turned over and held Zheng Jia down!

"Ouch!"

In the girl's exclamation, Sun Peng smiled hesitantly: "Little girl, since you have seen through my secret, then you can't let you continue...... Ouch! Do you dare to bite? I've fought with you......"
