Chapter 211: Just what I want [Baby's Birthday Plus Update]
Tang Jian was about to take a nap again, but Dididi received a message from the editor-in-chief of Times Literature on his mobile phone.
"Only 20% of the share?"
Tang Jian suddenly had a feeling that this was a big bully? In the contract he signed with Yuewen, the website only received a 20% share, and the rest of the bulk was his!
As a result, this publishing house is too tricky!
Tang Jian replied: "Big brother, are you mistaken?" This 20% is from the publishing house, right? I'm supposed to be 80%, right? ”
“……”
Looking at the message replied by Tang Jian, Editor-in-Chief Lin's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted!
80%? You're daydreaming!
Did you know that publishing is different from website serialization? That's a lot of money!
Editor-in-Chief Lin gave an example: "Make no mistake, you are an online writer, and you may not know much about publishing cooperation. Let me put it this way, when I cooperated with a publishing house a few years ago, the share was 14%, and if the quality of ordinary authors was average, then only 7% of the share, the kind of quality that was not good, once the manuscript was rejected, those authors even paid for publication at their own expense, which is a market in the publishing industry.
20% does seem to be very little, because the current online writers and station cooperation are basically fifty-fifty shares, and platinum gods like you may be even higher.
However, online articles are a fixed means of sales, while publishing is complex and diverse, which requires a lot of investment in just printing and publicity, plus other human resources, etc., and finally in addition to the expenses and money distributed to the author, our publishing house can only get a small head.
Moreover, your publishing cooperation, in addition to the publishing copyright belongs to the publishing house, other copyrights have nothing to do with the publishing house, if it is a full copyright cooperation, then our publishing house can give you 80% of the share, after all, with your fame, when the time comes, film and television copyright IP, etc., if it is sold, our publishing house can also drink a lot of soup. ”
Seeing the other party's sincere answer, Tang Jian was embarrassed to suspect that the other party was cheating on himself.
However, although he doesn't know much about this industry, some people know it very well!
For the first time, Tang Jian thought of Li Jiajia, after all, this is his responsible editor, and she must be very clear about the publishing market.
Replying to Editor-in-Chief Lin after thinking about it before replying, Tang Jian then sent a message to Li Jiajia and asked: "Ask you something, if I find a publishing house to publish a new book, is it expensive or cheap for them to give me a 20% share?" ”
On the other hand, when she received the news of Tang Jian, Li Jiajia was a little stunned, in order to fight against the chivalrous idiot, this slut really wants to cooperate with the Times Literature Publishing House to publish a new book!
She replied, "Is your new book not serialized on the website?" You can serialize it at the same time, and talk to them about publishing cooperation by the way. ”
Tang Jian is not such a caring person, if it is serialized on the Internet and then cooperates with the publishing house, the sales of the publication will definitely be affected at that time. But if you don't have to read the website, then you can only watch this one if you buy a physical book, which will naturally increase the sales of physical books.
Tang Jian replied to Li Jiajia: "It's just a short story of more than 100,000 words, and it's too wasteful to serialize it on the Internet." ”
Well, with this number, online serialization really doesn't make much subscription money, and maybe it can create miracles if it is published, after all, this guy is a slut who has created miracles!
Li Jiajia replied to Tang Jian's question: "If you cooperate with a simple publishing, the 20% share is already very high, but you are also the platinum god of the website, and you are also a well-known star, so you can strive for a higher share, and it is estimated that thirty or forty percent of the share can still be obtained, unless the Times Literature Publishing House does not want to take risks, or does not want you to eat such a big head, but gnaw a little bit of it." ”
"Okay! I know, thank you for the answer, I will have the opportunity to invite you to dinner in the future! ”
Tang Jian replied, and Li Jiajia on the other end suddenly showed a speechless expression of disdain, this guy said that in the future, it is estimated that he is deliberately teasing himself! Otherwise, he would not have said later, but later!
At this time, Li Jiajia thought of something, and then reminded: "By the way, when you sign a contract with the website, the author's pen name is bound to the website, so you can't use the website as a pen name when you cooperate with other places." ”
Tang Jian doesn't care about a pen name, but now that Li Jiajia says this, he has a feeling that it is just what I want!
"This name is so stupid, it can't be used to suit me!"
“……”
This stupid beep pen name is not your stupid beep!
What is the pen name is not good, but this guy is called "Anger", thinking about this slut, Li Jiajia can't help but be a little angry!
Thinking about all the troubles caused by this slut, she wants to crawl over along the network cable and beat this slut to relieve her anger!
Times Literature Publishing House.
Editor-in-Chief Lin was a little nervous, this kid said that he wanted to think about it, he should be looking for someone to understand the market of publishing shares, right?
Or is he really too little and then too lazy to talk to them?
was about to take the initiative to tell Tang Jian to help him apply for a higher share, when Tang Jian replied: "I thought about it, we are all men, not mother-in-law and mother-in-law, a fixed price, I want 35% of the share, if it is successful, we will draw up a contract in black and white to shake hands and say goodbye." If it doesn't work, it means that we are destined! ”
"Wait a minute, I'll tell the leader."
Editor-in-chief Lin had to find a step down for himself, and he didn't tell the leader, because the president said that he could only give a maximum of 40% of the share, and now 35% is good. But he proposed a 20% share earlier, so if he immediately promised Tang Jian that there was no problem now, then it would give Tang Jian the feeling that he deliberately lowered the price and wanted to eat a kickback to pit Tang Jian.
A minute later.
Editor-in-Chief Lin replied: "The cooperation is pleasant, and the president agreed." I'll send you the contract documents later, and then you can print out the contract and sign it and send it over. ”
Thinking about it, Editor-in-Chief Lin suddenly realized a more important place, and hurriedly typed: "By the way, the pen name you signed with the station shouldn't be used externally, right?" If you can't use your author's pen name, then it's better to use your real name for the publication, otherwise it will also affect sales. ”
Tang Jian replied boastfully: "Well, then use my real name!" After all, my own name is even louder than the author's name! ”
