Jindu.

Hallym Press.

Looking at the manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Ni Xianghai's depression for many days has been completely eliminated.

Although Shi Rongliang was poached.

But soon he was sent a rookie author who was even stronger than the other party in terms of pen power.

Not to mention that it's still the object of the orchid girl.

It can be described as a joy on top of joy.

But

What needs to be solved immediately is the issue of treatment.

In the traditional line.

The conditions for new authors who are just starting out are generally in the range of 5% to 10% of royalties.

Some will even be even lower.

is like the popular Shi Rongliang, he only gave 30%.

It's just that there's that relationship right now.

The conditions must be increased.

Ni Xianghai gritted his teeth.

He directly took out a 40 percent royalty condition.

Half of the extra 10 percent is considered to be the sincerity of my uncle, and the other half is based on the quality of the manuscript.

"Forty percent?" Yu Lanxin was a little surprised when she heard the news, and as an editor, she knew the meaning better.

"That's right, forty percent, didn't Uncle Ni say it, I promise not to let your little boyfriend suffer." Ni Xianghai nodded and smiled.

"Uncle Ni, don't talk nonsense."

Yu Lanxin originally had a very serious expression.

When I heard this, I immediately felt that my cheeks were a little hot.

They haven't had a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship yet.

"Okay, okay, I'm not talking nonsense."

Ni Xianghai laughed for a while.

It is said that young people nowadays always like to put the words of love and love on their lips.

Look at what this girl looks like.

How can it feel like it was in their time?

Too shy.

"Then I'll talk to him later." Yu Lanxin thought for a while.

"Okay, you go get busy first."

Ni Xianghai said, his heart was also extremely uncomfortable.

In the future, if she gives enough treatment, this girl will ask 'Is it too high' or go to the author to lower the price.

It's a good day.

Directly agreed.

There was not even the slightest hesitation.

These young people are so realistic.

And Yu Lanxin, who left the office, naturally sent a message to Lin Hao.

Usually, she really doesn't know how to take the initiative to open the topic.

It's a good time to say something.

The other side.

Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh dumbly after hearing the treatment given by the publishing house.

Even though he hadn't been in this circle.

But I also understand what 40% copyright represents.

There is absolutely no intention of treating yourself as a newcomer.

He was actually not very happy in his heart, and even regretted it a little, and while helping Yu Lanxin, he also seemed to give her some pressure.

That's it.

There is no need to say anything more

He is not a hypocritical person either.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the issue of pen names.

"Let's call Mr. Xizhou." Lin Hao thought about it and said suddenly.

"Mr. Xizhou, do you have anything to say?" Yu Lanxin said curiously when she heard this.

"The south wind knows what I mean, and I dream of Xizhou, which is not only written, but also the word 'sir', which is quite appropriate." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"The south wind knows what I mean, and dreams of Xizhou."

Yu Lanxin muttered softly, only feeling amazed in her heart.

She also thinks she is well-read, but she still can't find the source of these two sentences after searching in her mind for a while, and her brows are tightly knit for a while.

She.

I was a little unconvinced.

Write down this sentence deeply.

I'm going to go back and check it out.

"That's right."

Lin Hao didn't want to talk too much about it.

Then after changing the topic, I chatted with the other party about daily interesting things.

At the same time, I plan to mail her a few GUNPLAs to cultivate her hobby.

Wait until Yu Lanxin has something to do.

The two of them hung up the phone.

All that's left is to sign the contract by mail.

From Jindu to Jiangning, if the express is sent in the morning, it can arrive in the afternoon, and if it is sent in the afternoon, it will arrive the next day, and the speed is very fast.

Until the contract between the two parties is signed.

Ni Xianghai began to prepare for the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

With nearly 500,000 words on hand, he had already completed the proofreading work ahead of schedule.

According to the million-word length of this work.

In fact, three volumes are sufficient.

But in order to grasp the reader's heart.

Ni Xianghai simply divided it into four volumes and issued it.

In fact, there is a certain relationship between the number of copies printed and the quality.

If the quality is average, the number of volumes issued should be compressed as much as possible, because the middle and late stages may be cut in half by the market, and the loss should be reduced.

And the quality is high.

It's quite the opposite.

Not only the number of volumes, but also the number of volumes.

The number of words should also be as much as possible to make the author more watery.

In view of Shi Rongliang's previous "Battle of the Deep Sea Pavilion", the first volume sold 450,000 copies.

He directly asked the publishing department to order a circulation of 600,000 copies from the factory.

There is a lot of momentum to break the kettle.

I'm afraid that the circulation of the entire publishing house today does not reach half of this number.

The money earned from Shi Rongliang, the author, has not yet been heated.

Ni Xianghai smashed down on Lin Hao's body again.

Hallym Publishing quickly announced its plans for the near future.

The first is naturally the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It's just that for the entire market and peers, it doesn't really mean much for Hanlin Publishing House to announce or not, and few people care about it at all.

After all, such a publishing house is too small.

It's so small that you can't even focus people's eyes.

But there are individuals who are exceptions.

Throughout.

I've been staring at the situation of Hallym Press.

This person is Shi Rongliang.

Not long ago, he couldn't exchange Yu Lanxin's favor for a hit, which made him extremely hateful in his heart.

Even the Hanlin Publishing House is also included.

Threatening each other?

No.

Shi Rongliang felt that he was not threatening the other party.

It's that an excellent writer like him should be sought after, not to mention that he is young and rich, which should be the standard for many women looking for a spouse.

So Shi Rongliang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said that day.

Before there was no capital.

He can keep all his emotions to the bottom of his heart.

But now.

He didn't need to do it anymore.

If you like it, you have to fight for it.

I can't win it and don't mind using some small means.

It's a pity.

Yu Lanxin gave up the opportunity to enjoy a better life in the future with herself.

In Shi Rongliang's opinion.

This woman's horizons are too narrow.

Narrow enough to make out the form.

Now.

What future does Hanlin Publishing House have without its own presence?

It's just a plate of loose sand.

That's right.

The other party is giving himself a chance to be on stage.

But I also repaid it with sales results.

There is no such thing as who owes whom.

Doesn't this woman know that she can fight for years less by following her?

Thinking about each other's graceful figures.

Shi Rongliang was very sorry.

This sentiment only dissipated when he saw the release plan of Hallym Press.

The martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?

Take you to experience a different home and country?

Shi Rongliang wanted to laugh.

I really want to laugh.

Even a little sympathetic to the so-called old club to a certain extent.

Because his second work is also martial arts.

The subject matter is exactly the same.

And now it's nearly 90 percent complete.

The part of the end of the gap still needs to be considered.

So he and the editor of his new owner, Dingyan Publishing House, are out looking for inspiration.

"Editor Gong, in life, you have to have fun in time, if you can't do it tonight, don't go back, my brother will arrange you in a while."

Inside a bar in Jindu.

Shi Rongliang sat on the sofa and persuaded a middle-aged man beside him.

"No, I need to go home early today, and I still have some work at hand that I haven't finished yet."

Gong Minghan said with a smile.

At this moment, his heart could not be more depressed.

Switch to usual.

Editors like them are eager to get on good terms with today's most popular authors.

But this Shi Rongliang is really a bit absurd and uninhibited.

To what extent?

often take him to wander around places like clubs and bars, not to mention, and from time to time he has to do something to some of the female waiters inside.

It made him feel a little uncomfortable now.

When editing these years.

I have never met such a superb author.

"Don't worry, don't let the palace editor spend money on you, the cost is all mine." Shi Rongliang felt that the other party was disgusted by the high consumption here.

"It's really not good, let's do it another day, the main child is at home alone, and my daughter-in-law is on a business trip, I don't worry."

Gong Minghan found one reason after another.

He really wanted to flick his sleeves and leave now.

But the editor-in-chief said it.

I have to serve this popular author well, if Shi Rongliang is poached by other publishing houses, then his position will have to be moved.

Aggrieved.

Full of grievances.

"Okay, then another day, but there is something I need to discuss with the palace editor."

Shi Rongliang said indifferently, one less person will cost a penny less, since this guy doesn't like it, forget it.

"You say." Gong Minghan's expression was pale.

"I'm almost done with the second installment, but the release time needs to be adjusted." Shi Rongliang said.

"Adjust the time?"

Gong Minghan was stunned when he heard this.

However, thinking that the publishing house had not yet announced the release time of his work, he couldn't help but nod and said, "No problem, when do you want to change it?" ”

"Hanlin Publishing House is going to release a martial arts called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" recently, and the time is the same day as the other party."

What you can't get is destroyed.

Shi Rongliang wants to use his strength to show Yu Lanxin, a woman.

I can't be replaced by anyone.

"Hallym Press?"

Gong Minghan was a little surprised.

Because Shi Rongliang only dug it from the other party's publishing house, he didn't expect to turn his head and deal with the latter.

But it's just a small publishing house.

You Shi Rongliang can also be regarded as a popular author.

Is this necessary?

"That's right, I hope the editor of the palace will arrange it, and I will hand over the first part to you first." Shi Rongliang said slowly.

"Okay, I see."

Compared with the other party's idea of wanting to stay overnight, Gong Minghan felt that this was not a problem.

"Thank you very much, Editor Gong."

Shi Rongliang raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Instead, his gaze was on the woman writhing beside the steel pipe in the center of the bar.
