Editor-in-chief room.

"Editor-in-chief, the problem is a bit big, I just called the author, but the person who answered the phone was a young girl, only eighteen years old this year, and she also said that she had finished the first part, and the remaining parts were also roughly written, and they were being revised, and they could be completely completed before the end of the summer vacation, do you think there would be any problems?"

As soon as he came in, Editor Zhou hurriedly reported the news he had just learned, which was really a bit unbelievable, is the child so powerful now?

"What, eighteen? Still almost finished? ”

Editor-in-chief Zhang was also shocked and hesitant at this time.

I'm worried that there is something wrong with the author of this manuscript.

Stop being a prank or anything like that.

"That's what she said, and when you sign a contract, you need an ID card, and it is estimated that the possibility of nonsense is still low, so what should we do?

Does this author still need to sign? ”

Editor Zhou continued to ask as a matter of course.

"Sign it, anyway, our contract is very perfect, it's our problem, it's up to us, it's not our problem, it's all up to the author, she's eighteen years old, not fourteen or fifteen years old, sign a contract with her.

It already has full legal effect.

Also, if you ask her to send the so-called completed first manuscript over to see, if there is no problem with the manuscript and the ending is good, you can give her a proper mention of the manuscript fee, and whether it can be published depends on the feedback results when it is serialized in the magazine. ”

Although I was shocked, and even vaguely suspicious, after all, the contract was clearly written, and if there was a problem with the author, the magazine would lose money.

That's entirely the responsibility of the author.

So Editor-in-Chief Zhang didn't hesitate anything, and immediately decided that he still had to sign, and since he liked it, don't hesitate.

After receiving a positive reply, Editor Zhou continued to contact Ding Yun, and then Ding Yun sent the first part of the planned five-part series to wait for the other party to respond after retaining the evidence that the copyright was his own.

And so it went on for several hours.

It wasn't until the editor-in-chief Zhou and Editor-in-Chief Zhang of the magazine read the book sent by Ding Yun that they set a specific manuscript fee for Ding Yun, 300 words per thousand, which is the manuscript fee during the serialization period, and the royalty after publication is calculated separately, not the buyout manuscript fee.

This price is actually not high, many famous people have a thousand words, or even two or three thousand words are normal, but Ding Yun is just a newcomer after all, although the editor and editor-in-chief are quite optimistic, but they lack fame and readers, so it is already good to be able to pay this manuscript.

Her first part was about 300,000 words.

It's worth 90,000.

And this is only the most basic income, the publication royalty is the real big head, the difference is nothing more than that the basic income is certain and certain, and the royalty depends on the specific sales volume, the higher the sales, the more income.

So Ding Yun quickly agreed to this condition.

And I signed a network contract directly online.

Although the development of all walks of life in this world is relatively slow, the development of network technology itself is quite fast, and even the promotion of laws on the network is also developing quite rapidly.

At a time when few people are taking advantage of online fraud.

The Cyber Fraud Act has already been introduced.

The standards for network contracts, as well as regulations such as legality, have also been legislated and implemented when computers first appeared in many companies and were not yet widely used in ordinary households.

And it is accepted by many people who sign the contract from a long distance, which also greatly facilitates the signing of the contract between Ding Yun and the magazine, without the need to meet or mail paper contracts, etc., saving a lot of time.

After signing the contract, Ding Yun continued to localize the next content, and the magazine mainly proofread the first part of Ding Yun's past, although Ding Yun said that she had proofread it, but the process still had to be followed.

After all, if you don't go through this process, if there are typos and the like, they will be responsible in the end.

And so it went on for another ten days.

The first three chapters of Ding Yun's first book, with a total of 30,000 words, appeared in most newsstands or bookstores in 32 counties across the country.

The main reason why Ding Yun gave priority to submitting his manuscript to this magazine is that their magazine has a long history and a wide range of channels, and can basically be distributed throughout the country, which is much better than many magazines that can only be distributed in the region and have a little reputation.

The main reason why magazines in many areas sell very well is that they have thoroughly grasped the tastes of most people in this area, so their content is mainly collected and written specifically for people in this area.

Nationwide magazines must take into account the different situations in different parts of the country, and the content of the articles must be universal, not only to please a certain group of people, but also to pay attention to the taboos in each region.

This makes it much more restrictive.

Seeking a doctorate may not please anyone.

This is the biggest dilemma of the martial arts magazine after its national distribution, and it is also the main reason for the departure of some famous artists, most of whom have become accustomed to their own style.

It's hard and not very willing to change.

However, Ding Yun has no such scruples, firstly, she has confidence in her works, and secondly, of course, this kind of magazine that can be bought all over the country can increase her influence more, which is not better than leaving the county and no one knows.

And as readers buy "Martial Arts".

Ding Yun's localized chivalrous heart finally entered thousands of households and was seen by thousands of readers, and some comments appeared on the Internet one after another.

Generally speaking, most of them are praised, either they find it interesting, or they feel like other old authors have written it in a vest, not like a newcomer, and there are even many people who speculate about the next development.

Although there was no explosion or anything like that.

But at least the heat is not low.

And with the release of the last two issues of the magazine, the popularity is getting higher and higher, and even a special Tieba discussion group has appeared, and the sales of the magazine have increased a lot.

Martial Arts Magazine is a standard semi-monthly magazine.

So as soon as the third issue is finished, Ding Yun's side is about to start school, and it just so happens that the serialization results are good now.

Therefore, Ding Yun simply took the opportunity to contact the magazine again, sent all the remaining four parts, and signed a contract with them.

The magazine didn't dispute that.

After all, they are not blind signs, they signed after reading the other four specific contents.

They even think they've earned it.

After all, if you wait for the first part of the serialization to be signed again, the other party's popularity may be several times that of now, and the price must not be raised by three or five times before signing.
