Chapter 205 The whole book is published, divided into four and six
Ten minutes later, Hong Yan walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, and seeing this, Zhang Lili immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is Sister Hong?" What did the editor-in-chief say? ”
Hearing Zhang Lili's question, Hong Yan's face couldn't help but show a smile, and said: "The editor-in-chief said that the content of "The Legend of Wukong" is very good, very potential, and is willing to recommend it vigorously, but whether it is a daily update or direct publication, we need to contact the author first, by the way, has the author's contact information been found?" ”
"Found it, I'll send it to you immediately." Zhang Lili said and sent Qin Yuan's mobile phone number to Hong Yan's prestige.
Hong Yan nodded, picked up the landline of the work and called Qin Yuan, in fact, under normal circumstances, those of them who are editors would not take the initiative to contact the author.
Even if you think the other party writes well, you will only notify the other party through a short message on the website, telling them that they have passed the review and can sign a contract.
But because Qin Yuan's "The Biography of Wukong" is so well written, that their editor-in-chief attaches great importance to it, so she has to make an exception to contact the author first to determine the way of publication in the future.
On the other side, on the way to Huai'an, Qin Yuan happened to be resting on the side of the road in Gaoyou Lake Reedang Wetland Park, when his mobile phone rang.
When he picked up the mobile phone, he saw that it was an unfamiliar landline number, but the other party set up the caller ID, so soon a few big characters on the seven-o'clock Chinese network appeared on his mobile phone interface.
Seeing that it turned out to be a call from Seven O'Clock.com, Qin Yuan couldn't help but show a smile on his face, he had already guessed that the book "The Legend of Wukong" would definitely be valued by the website, and now it looks like this.
However, the other party actually called him directly, which was a bit unexpected by him, you must know that under normal circumstances, the other party will never contact the author privately.
And he can enjoy this kind of treatment, which can only show that the other party attaches great importance to this "Legend of Wukong" has reached a certain level.
In this way, he didn't think much else, and immediately answered the phone, and suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from the microphone.
"Hello, are you the author?"
"Well, yes!" Hearing the woman's voice, Qin Yuan nodded silently and responded.
Hearing his answer, the woman's tone immediately became happy.
"Okay, Mr. Yun Youren, I am the content editor of Seven Points Chinese.com, my name is Hong Yan.
That's right, the fantasy love "The Legend of Wukong" you released on our seven-point network has passed our review and reached the signing standards.
And I personally and our editor-in-chief are very optimistic about your book, and in my experience, your book should not be long, right? ”
Hearing Hong Yan's words, Qin Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect this woman named Hong Yan to be so powerful, just after reading 30,000 words, he guessed that "The Legend of Wukong" would not be like other networks, where millions of words can be written at every turn.
Sure enough, a professional is a professional, and this vision is really vicious!
Since he was guessed by the other party, he naturally didn't need to sell Guan Zi, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the whole book is about 140,000 words!" ”
"It seems that I guessed it right.,Mr. Yun Youliren.,That's the case.,If you're only writing 140,000 words.,Your part is not very suitable for serialization.,Generally, serialized are large.,It's to write up to a million words.。
So I personally suggest that you change the way of publishing, in addition to the regular serialization of our seven-point network, you can also publish the whole book like the publishing house, I don't know if you have this intention? Hong Yan said very politely.
Hearing Hong Yan's words, Qin Yuan hesitated for a while, then nodded silently and said, "If I can publish the whole book, I am naturally willing." ”
As a senior bookworm, Qin Yuan is still quite clear about the Internet industry, there are three ways to sign contracts on the general network, and the most common one is to share the contract, as the name suggests, the author and the platform share the subscription income together.
The average author is five or five points, and the author with good grades, such as the platinum author, can negotiate with the platform by himself, there are four or six points, there are three or seven points, and even two or eight points, mainly depending on the strength of the author.
In addition to the sharing contract, the other is the buyout contract, the so-called buyout is to buy the author's book directly at a fixed unit price, such as 100 yuan for 1,000 words, then the author only needs to update the specified number of words every day, if you want to earn more, then write more.
In addition to the above two, there is another way to go is publishing, and publishing is also divided into two kinds, namely physical book publishing and e-book publishing, and Seven Points, as the largest platform in the industry, naturally takes both into account.
And the income of publishing is also determined according to the share, as for how much can be shared, this needs to be discussed with the platform by yourself, and at this moment, Hong Yan called Qin Yuan to talk about this matter.
Hearing that Qin Yuan was willing to go to publish, Hong Yan was even more overjoyed, and continued: "Since you are willing to go to publish, then you need to send us the finished book, so we can operate in the background."
Then let's talk about the copyright sharing, which is like this, because Mr. Yun Youliren, you are a rookie author, and you have no popularity on our platform, so according to the conventional operation, the copyright share should be five or five points.
However, our editor-in-chief said that your content seems to be very good so far, and if the next 100,000 words can still maintain this level, we can consider adjusting the score to four or six points, you six, and platform four.
Then if the sales of this "Wukong Biography" on our platform are excellent, and you release it on our platform later, whether it is divided into contracts or published, we can give you three or seven points, do you think it's okay? ”
Qin Yuan naturally knew about the four or six points and three or seven points that Hong Yan said, but for him as a newcomer, the other party was willing to give him four or six points, and this platform was already very conscientious.
You must know that it is very difficult for ordinary newcomers to sign a contract, and as for the sharing, it must be in accordance with the regular requirements of the platform, that is, the most ordinary five or five points, four or six points, which is completely impossible.
As for the so-called three or seven points, except for the authors above the great god can have it, ordinary authors can't even dream of it.
But at this moment, as soon as Hong Yan opened his mouth, he was willing to give him four or six points of treatment, and even promised to give him three or seven points in the future, which is to treat him as a god-level author completely!
I have to say that once a person has strength, he will be valued and respected on any platform, which is a good example.
Since the other party is so sincere, Qin Yuan naturally has nothing to say, as Hong Yan said, he is now a rookie author, it is already good to be able to sign a contract, and being so valued like this now is even better treatment, and he really has no reason to refuse.
As soon as he thought of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then four or six points!" But I haven't finished the whole book yet, and it will take about two more days! ”
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, you will post it directly on the platform after you finish writing, and then call this number, and I will deal with this matter for you as soon as possible." Hong Yan said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's decided, I'll contact you when the time comes!" Qin Yuan nodded silently.
"Well, okay, then I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family, and we'll talk about it in detail later!" Hong Yan said very politely, and then the two hung up the phone.
Listening to Hong Yan's blessings, Qin Yuan couldn't help but have a good impression of this unmasked female editor, then he smiled, put away his mobile phone, and then his eyes looked into the distance, directly in front of him was a huge lake, and the scenery was very beautiful.
"Before you know it, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and time flies so fast! It seems that I can't camp outside tonight, so I'll have to find a hotel to have a good dinner and call my family. Qin Yuan said to himself, then got on the bicycle again and continued to set off.
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family!
