Chapter 89: The First Seal and the Subsequent Seal

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anzhi sat at the desk and turned on the computer, but looked at the computer screen stunned.

Because he has been traveling abroad, although his speed of writing books is not slow, it is not fast for himself. At least not as fast as it is now.

Now that his "Dragon Family III" has only been released, "The Little Prince" and "The First Close Contact" and many fairy tale short stories have been submitted again, and he doesn't know what to do when he is idle for a while.

Logging in Qiuqiu, Lu Anzhi received a message from bitterly: Master B, I have been busy for the past two days, and I didn't care about reviewing the manuscript, and I finished reviewing the manuscript today.

Bitter: After reading "The Little Prince" and other fairy tale short stories, I thought you had changed sex, I really thought too much!

Bitter: "First Close Contact" is very well written. But we'll have to wait until we send it again. Otherwise, it will seize the sales heat of "Dragon Family III".

Bitter: The share of the first printing of 2 million sets has been settled, and the finance side said that the payment was made to you, 21312000, you can confirm it later. There are also details, and they have been sent to you.

This is followed by a document sent offline, which is a breakdown of the first printing and the manuscript fee.

After that there was nothing else to say.

From Ku Ku's short words and businesslike tone, Lu Anzhi could see that this guy was affected by the death of the light dance in "The First Close Contact".

I wrote my own book and delivered it, and every time I was the first to be stabbed by the editor, it was quite miserable.

Lu Anzhi sighed. He looked at the mobile phone he had placed on the table, and couldn't help but think back to the intelligent era of his previous life.

If it was in a previous life, you could check the bill directly through the bank's mobile APP, unlike now, if you want to see the deposit in the bank card, you have to go to the bank.

More than 21 million, it is the first time that he has received so much manuscript fee at once.

Mainly because "Dragon Family III" was released three copies at one time, and two million copies were first printed at one time, all of which were sold out, so there will be such results.

Without the foreshadowing of "The Holy Biography" and "The Legend of Wukong" and the first two parts of "Dragon Family", "Dragon Family III" would not be as hot as it is now.

With the foreshadowing of so many works, as well as the addition of a series of works, it was estimated that under the maple tree, he dared to directly print two million copies of "Dragon III".

"Dragon Family III" is priced at 60 yuan per set, and each volume is 20 yuan. Two million sets of first printing, for every set sold, Lu Anzhi can receive a share of 20 percent, that is, 12 yuan, for a total of 24 million.

However, this is only the pre-tax income, and after the tax is paid by Mapletree, the money that is put into his bank card is only 21,310,020,000.

The specific royalty algorithm is more complicated, he calculated it once or twice by himself, and then he didn't bother to calculate it. Anyway, it's quite reliable over there, and I'll send him a breakdown every time. Reconciliation has never been a problem.

He suddenly had the urge to show off to Zhang Suxin, but in the end he endured it.

After all, Zhang Suxin is also a former little diva in the music world, I don't know how much the two albums sold, and she is also a person who has seen the world. If you make this little money yourself, you may not be in the eyes of others.

Forget it, let's not talk about it, wait until we see how much I earn in the end.

There will be follow-up income for this set, but the subsequent share will not be 20% of the first printing, only 10%.

After all, publishing houses also want to make money, and the early publicity and operation, publishing and printing are all inputs, and it is impossible to blindly give profits to writers.

Lu Anzhi now takes 20% of the first printing, and the subsequent 10% is already at the level of a top best-selling author. And he still keeps his other copyrights, so he can make another profit.

Besides, even if he gets a 10% follow-up share, he can still get a lot. Until now, he can still get a lot of money from the first two parts of "The Holy Biography", "The Legend of Wukong" and "Dragon Family" every month.

Staring at the screen, Lu Anzhi suddenly saw that he was distressed and sent another message: Boss B, you are online!

Lu Anzhi replied: Well, it's online.

He was buying a car this morning, in the park in the afternoon, and outside all day, and didn't look at his phone much. Therefore, Qiuqiu, who was hanging on the phone, also automatically entered the stealth state.

At this time, I logged in to the computer and received the document sent by Ku Kui, which attracted Ku Ku's attention.

However, Ku Ku was still lacking in interest, and after bubbling to say hello to Lu Anzhi, he was silent for a while before sending a message:

Master B, I watched "The First Close Contact", it was as good as ever, and I didn't need to modify it at all. I'll just see if there's a typo. The publication of this book and "The Little Prince" will be postponed, as I seem to have already said.

Lu Anzhi replied: I said "The First Close Contact", but I didn't say "The Little Prince".

Kuku: Well, I forgot.

Kuku: There's one more thing I forgot to mention, about The Little Prince. We have several overseas cooperative publishing companies under the maple tree, involving several languages, and there is an exchange activity. The editor-in-chief held a meeting and preliminarily drafted that "The Little Prince" may be translated into many Chinese languages and sent to sea.

Lu Anzhi asked: How to calculate the manuscript fee?

Bitter: If we can negotiate it, the best outcome is 15 percent of the first printing of overseas publications, and 5 percent of the subsequent printing. This is the highest score ever received by a domestic writer, and it is also the top situation of a best-selling writer abroad.

Lu Anzhi sent a message: Try to fight for 20% of the follow-up for me, just say that I won't sell it if it's less than 20%.

"The Little Prince", which sold all over the world in his previous life, is worth asking for.

And now I am famous in China, but not abroad. First print sales, usually not much. Twenty percent of the income from the first printing is to be discounted.

What can really be earned is the follow-up share.

He really made up his mind that less than 20% of the follow-up share will not be sold. If the overseas partner companies under the maple tree are not unified, it is a big deal to press overseas publishing by themselves. I am not short of money, and I am not in a hurry.

Ku Ku didn't have the slightest opinion on Lu Anzhi's request, and happily agreed: Okay.

After a while, she suddenly spoke again in Qiuqiu: Master B.

Lu Anzhi asked: What's wrong?

Kuku: Can we stop writing tragedies in the future? I'm old, and my heart can't stand it.

Lu Anzhi: ......

Lu Anzhi: How old are you!

Bitter: Look at your books and look at the old.

Lu Anzhi: ......

Lu Anzhi, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, thought about it and created a new document.

Then he renamed the new document. The new name for this document is: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

After changing the name, he sent a screenshot of the document to Qiuqiu and said to Kuku: This time it's not a tragedy.

Bitter: So fast?!

Kuku: Really? I don't believe it!

Kuku: You must have thought of a new way to go to the knife again to be so fast!
