Chapter Forty-Eight: Ideal and Reality!
Being able to publish your own work is something that is unimaginable at the moment.
However, the other party also said in the reply letter that whether it will be published in the end depends on the market reaction.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to look at the sales of magazines.
He Yun was not surprised by this, and fully understood the concerns of the magazine.
Newcomers! It is already very good to be able to have such a high salary, which is higher than the treatment of some old writers in this era.
Besides, the remuneration given by the other party has also reached 15 yuan per thousand words, which is much higher than that of "Wulin" magazine.
People's "Wulin" magazine only gave four yuan for 1,000 words at first, and although the salary was doubled, compared with "Contemporary" magazine, it can only be regarded as "pediatrics".
What's more, the other party also promised that he would give He Yun the opportunity to publish the novel "Fanghua", as for whether it can be realized in the end, it depends on the specific sales of the magazine, if the magazine's sales increase significantly because of the publication of the novel, then the result is self-evident, they will directly send He Yun a publishing contract.
"It seems that I can only wait, and I don't know how much I can earn from publishing a work this year?"
He Yun muttered secretly, but he thought about it.
But how did he know that publishing a work in these years is actually not profitable at all.
Because the mainland's awareness of copyright is still relatively weak, and the state has no relevant legislation, the authorization is not authorized, and it does not affect the publication and printing of some printing houses or publishing houses at all.
And this is one of the reasons why piracy of Mr. Jin Yong's novels is rampant in the mainland.
In contrast, Xiangjiang and Wanwan are now paying more attention to copyright.
Therefore, when you publish a book, the publisher must give the author a certain royalty, otherwise it is illegal.
Although the term royalties have been used in the mainland for a long time, this does not mean that major publishing houses will pay authors a certain amount of royalties.
In the 80s, when publishing an author's work, the publisher would only roughly agree with the author on a certain remuneration, such as how much a thousand words would cost, and as for how much you printed, how much you sold, less printing, or less, it had little to do with the author himself.
In other words, even if the publishing house earns 10 million yuan from your work, there is only so much remuneration paid to you.
The payment of royalties is different, and the amount of royalties is related to the amount of printing and the royalty rate.
The higher the print run, the more it is sold, and the more royalties are paid to the author himself.
The two are directly proportional.
Obviously, the latter payment method is more beneficial to the authors themselves than the former payment method.
But for these things, He Yun didn't know at all at this time, and he didn't understand it.
…………
Town, post office.
He Yun took two remittance slips, took out the money, and then made a passbook and deposited the money in it.
Although the staff of the post office was a little puzzled by this, they didn't ask much.
For He Yun, they naturally knew each other.
Yes, it is difficult for a "big customer" who comes to withdraw and save money almost every once in a while, and they don't know it.
With a look of envy, they are not jealous of He Yun, after all, what they earn is brain money, ability money, not to mention the origin of this money, the most important thing is He Yun's identity as a great writer.
You must know that the writers of today are not the writers of later generations, this is the representative of cultural people, the kind that has a lot of face when you say it.
Its high social status is obvious to all.
In addition, He Yun himself was registered with the town leader, so everyone naturally had great respect for He Yun.
"Gone!"
"Writer He, you go slowly!"
"Okay! See you later! ”
"See you later!"
……
After He Yun said hello to the staff he knew, he rode the 28 bars and left with the new passbook.
After returning to school, he returned to his dormitory.
However, he did not continue to write, but sat at the desk, sorted out his thoughts, and rummaged through the drawers, sorting out all the original manuscript paper and other things, and then opened the textbook.
For the rest of the time, he no longer planned to write.
He won't write again until the final exam, at least.
The reason is simple.
He wanted to do something to help his students revise well and try to get them a good score in the final exam.
Seriously, at the beginning of his rebirth, he never thought about being a teacher.
But since he became this teacher, he gradually found that although the conditions for being a teacher are more difficult now, and the salary is not high, only more than 30 yuan, he has a very fulfilling and happy life.
At the moment, no student will confront you in class, and no naughty student will be angry with you and vomit blood.
Parents are not like later generations, with completely different ideas and values.
They have only one hope, that is, they hope that their children can be educated by teachers to become talents, so that they can change their destiny in the future.
Therefore, He Yun decided that he was ready to be this teacher all the time, and he would not change his profession for at least the next ten years.
As for writing books, he will naturally continue to write.
After all, he still has to eat, and even has to marry and have children in the future, and he can't do it without money.
This is a very real problem, both now and in the future.
Besides, now is a good time for him to accumulate capital, if he doesn't make such money, will he still be able to do business?
Don't be delusional!
It's not the end of the 90s, and now you want to make a fortune by doing business, and the result is nothing more than two, one is to be beaten into the abyss of failure by the waves of reform and lose your money, and the other is to give you a pair of metal rings and go somewhere to sit for ten or eight years.
Even if you are lucky enough to go ashore, you are stepping on other people's backs, and when you go ashore, you will bear such stains and original sins for the rest of your life, and you can't wash them away at all, and in the end, you will still be dug up by some keyboard warriors.
What's more, in his previous life, he was a certain writer and an ordinary person, so where did he get the courage to do business? If you don't lose, it's strange that you're bankrupt!
…………
More than ten days have passed.
The peaceful life made He Yundu forget that he was once a writer.
However, the days when there is no one to urge are always short-lived.
On this day, He Yun was teaching the first class of the second year of junior high school.
"Pay attention to this word, this word is easy to confuse with this word, everyone must be cautious when doing similar multiple-choice questions, don't get them wrong......"
"Teacher He! Teacher He! Please come out! ”
At the front door of the classroom, the head teacher, Mr. He, shouted softly to He Yun twice, and then beckoned.
"Let's think carefully about the difference between these two words, and then make notes on what I wrote on the blackboard, and I'll come as soon as I go!"
He Yun said a few words to the students in the audience, and then walked to the front door of the classroom.
