Regarding Tang Jian's initiative to share the cooperation, Editor-in-Chief Lin was not too surprised, or disdainful, etc.

After all, Tang Jian is different from other published authors, in addition to his identity as an author, he also has the star status of a singer and actor!

Especially now that the promotional video of the "Zhu Xian" TV series came out, Tang Jian's popularity began to soar rapidly!

Such a young and handsome author also has good musical talent and acting talent, no wonder he can become popular on the Internet all of a sudden.

The traditional authors of chivalrous idiots and publishing houses are basically bought out by how many yuan per thousand words, because they have no confidence in the sales of their works, otherwise normal people will not choose to buy out and get quick money, unless they are particularly short of money recently.

Editor-in-chief Lin replied: "Okay, I will tell the leader, and then contact you after discussing the results, I hope we can cooperate happily!" ”

This is a sweet treat!

Editor-in-chief Lin hurriedly walked towards the president's office, such an important matter is not something that he can decide as an editor-in-chief.

After all, Tang Jian's authorship is not ordinary, and if the general agreement is used to negotiate, maybe the other party will think that the publisher will treat him as a fool, and then directly ignore them.

"President." Editor-in-chief Lin knocked on the unclosed wooden door at the door.

The middle-aged uncle who was practicing calligraphy on white paper with a brush raised his head, and then said, "Lao Lin, what's wrong?" ”

Editor-in-chief Lin walked in and said, "Just now, the author of "Zhu Xian" submitted a short story to us. ”

"Zhu Xian?" President Jin thought for a moment, and then asked a little surprised: "Are you talking about the online writer who quarreled with the chivalrous idiot?" ”

"Yes." Editor-in-chief Lin did not tell the president Tang Jian to take the initiative to contact the publishing house to talk about cooperation, and the president usually didn't pay much attention to these gossip news on the Internet, so he didn't know that Tang Jian had contacted the publishing house before.

For Tang Jian, President Jin also had a deep impression of "Zhu Xian" after listening to the chivalrous idiot and Tang Jian's online authors quarrel in the idle chats of the employees, so he was really surprised when he heard Editor-in-Chief Lin say that the author of "Zhu Xian" submitted to them.

"Looks like he's here for chivalry, right?" At the same time, President Kim wrote an elegant word "Xu" on the paper.

Editor-in-chief Lin said: "That's right, he also said directly, if we don't cooperate with chivalrous idiots in the future, then he will contribute to us." Now that I have read the new book he submitted, I really have nothing to say about the quality. Compared with the new book of chivalrous idiot, it is obviously more marketable. ”

The word "immortal" jumped on the paper, and President Jin put down the brush with satisfaction, looked up and said, "Do you think we should choose him or chivalrous?" ”

Editor-in-chief Lin is not afraid of offending the chivalrous idiot, although the chivalrous idiot is their old customer, and there are new books submitted almost every year, but I have to say that the current chivalrous idiot has indeed exhausted Jiang Lang's talent, otherwise his new book this year will not only come out with a buyout price of two hundred thousand words.

"Although the chivalrous idiot has been working with us for nearly ten years, his works have been getting worse year by year, for the sake of the future of the publishing house, I suggest giving up the chivalrous idiot."

Listening to Editor-in-Chief Lin's suggestion, President Jin shook his head and said, "The chivalrous idiot is our old partner, if we just give up on him and choose his enemy, won't our publishing house have to bear the infamy of being unkind and unrighteous at that time?" ”

Editor-in-chief Lin retorted: "Now because of chivalry, our publishing house is also burdened with the shameless infamy of popular online articles!" In recent days, there are still many netizens who deliberately buy our physical books in the online store, and then cancel the order to apply for a refund to humiliate us, saying that they will not buy the publication of these traditional authors, and ask us if we are angry! ”

"This is indeed the fault of the chivalrous idiot, and he is indeed angry with the rise of online literature, so he will say such scolded words, thus provoking the contradiction between traditional publishing and online literature electronics." President Jin said unhurriedly, neither saying that he wanted to give up chivalry, nor did he say that he wanted to choose Tang Jian.

Editor-in-chief Lin was a little anxious, for the sake of the future of the publishing house, he felt that he couldn't miss Tang Jian, a potential author, so he urged: "President, now is not the time to miss the old love, and although the idiot has cooperated with our publishing house for ten years, he doesn't necessarily have feelings with our publishing house!" Otherwise, if he caused this kind of trouble and affected the sales of our publishing house, then he should have taken the initiative to say sorry to us, but he didn't! ”

President Kim picked up the brush and dipped it in ink again, and said, "Maybe he has no face to face us because of guilt?" As he spoke, there was another word "belly" in the blank space of the white paper.

"I don't think so! If he is really guilty, he should tell us sorry as soon as possible! After Editor-in-Chief Lin finished speaking, he quietly watched President Jin write down the word "quantity".

Belly? Editor-in-Chief Lin couldn't help but say again: "President, this is not a matter of belly size, but the fact that this is the case." ”

President Jin dipped the ink again and said, "We are doing a big business, we can't be affected because of this little thing, Lao Lin, you are still a little anxious!" Do you know why you have worked with Lao Wu for so many years, but I arranged the position of editor-in-chief for Lao Wu and the position of editor-in-chief for you? ”

Editor-in-Chief Lin was suddenly a little embarrassed, when the results of this promotion came out, he was also a little unconvinced, but now after listening to what the president said, he suddenly understood.

Although his ability is not worse than Lao Wu, he is sometimes more impatient in dealing with things, which is why he lost to Lao Wu......

President Jin continued to write with a brush and said: "Your ability is no worse than that of Lao Wu, and your vision of auditing and articles is far better than that of Lao Wu, but you are not stable enough, if it is Lao Wu, how do you think he will solve this situation?" ”

On the white paper, President Jin wrote three italics - Lao Tie, steady!

Editor-in-chief Lin seemed to have realized all of a sudden, and then said: "Lower the price and let the chivalrous idiot take the initiative to jump to other publishing houses." ”

President Jin snorted: "Let's talk about the author of "Zhu Xian"! ”

Editor-in-chief Lin said seriously: "The author of "Zhu Xian" is called Tang Jian, he is not only an author, but also an idol singer and actor, and now his popularity is soaring rapidly, and he is a star author who is very worthy of our wooing!" ”

Listen, President Kim was a little dumbfounded. He didn't pay much attention to the Internet, but he learned from the idle chats of the employees a few days ago that the author of "Zhu Xian" seemed to be a young man, but he didn't expect that the other party still had the identity of a singer and actor!

No wonder Lao Lin is a little impatient who can't hold back, after all, if a star singer publishes a book, no matter how badly he writes, the sales will be higher than that of most authors!

And star authors are very sought-after for any publishing house, because they have a high reputation and so many fans, even if they choose a small publishing house to cooperate, they can rely on their own popularity to create publishing sales that many authors envy and hate!

"This is surprising, I can't imagine that the author is actually involved with singers and actors!" President Kim couldn't help but write the word "cow" out.

Editor-in-Chief Lin continued: "He submitted a short romance story, I have already reviewed it, a total of 110,000 words, the quality is absolutely nothing to say, and he not only has a huge readership, but also a lot of fans attracted by star effects, once this is published, it will definitely sell well!" ”

At this time, the word "forced" fell on the paper in a grand manner, and President Jin stopped practicing the words and said, "Does he want to buy out or do he want to share the cooperation?" ”

"Divide." Editor-in-Chief Lin replied.

President Kim thought for a moment and asked, "What price do you think you should give him for the share?" ”

"If you give him a 7% to 14% share, I think he may dismiss it and choose another publishing house, after all, he is not only an online writer, but also an actor and singer."

"Then give him a 20% share first, depending on what he says, the biggest concession is 40%, and if it is higher, except for other expenses, we won't be able to make money."

President Jin said that this is just a simple publishing cooperation, if the other party is willing to give them all the copyright, then let alone 40%, even if it is 80%, he is willing to pay, after all, publishing is just to make a small amount of money, and a big money is the copyright cooperation of other adaptations!

"Okay, I'll contact him about it!"

Editor-in-Chief Lin hurried out as soon as possible, lest he miss such a fragrant dumpling after a long time!
