Chapter 112: Sincerity is priceless
Silver Blue Library.
Some office.
Editor-in-chief Lu Bei was about to go to the conference room for a meeting, when he suddenly saw Lao Xiong running over like a heavy tank, panting.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Bei hurriedly avoided it.
Lao Xiong held on to the door and gasped for breath for a while before he could speak: "I just sent you a new book by Chu Mad, you must read it!"
"Chu Mad's new book?"
Lu Bei's heart moved, nodded, and seeing that Lao Zhou began to pant again, he didn't say anything and went directly to the conference room.
This is an internal meeting.
A certain leader was pointing to a certain copywriter and talking about it, but Lu Bei suddenly remembered what Lao Xiong had just said, so he simply took out his mobile phone and secretly clicked on the new book of Chu Mad that he had just sent.
Lu Bei likes Chu Crazy very much.
The last time Chu Madness wrote the short story "Maggie's Gift", Lu Bei was moved, and he even did not hesitate to put down his work during the Chinese New Year and go back to spend the Spring Festival with his family, and since then Lu Bei has been paying attention to Chu Mad's works.
"Zhu Xian?"
This time the name is quite domineering, Lu Bei thought like this, and began to look at it quietly, anyway, this kind of high-level meeting is always stinky and long, and it is impossible to end it without an hour.
Just be careful not to be detected.
It's not the first time that Lu Bei has deserted in the conference room, and he has never overturned, because he doesn't keep his head down, and occasionally pretends to listen carefully to the meeting report, nodding his head from time to time, and even knocking a few times on the keyboard of his notebook seriously, as if he is taking meeting minutes-
In fact, it's all gibberish.
The kind that programmers wouldn't dare to recognize.
But this time Lu Bei was careless, he didn't expect "Zhu Xian" to be so magical, he only watched it for ten minutes and was completely engrossed, he even forgot to knock on the garbled code that pretended to be the meeting minutes, and he didn't even hear someone next to him shouting to himself:
"Editor-in-chief?"
"Editor-in-chief?"
In the end, the high-minded leader was anxious, slapped the table hard, and his voice was very angry: "Lu Bei!"
"Huh?"
Lu Bei came back to his senses at this time, couldn't help but smile, and reluctantly put down his mobile phone, most of the high-level people present were at the same level as him, if he wasn't angry, the other party wouldn't call his name directly.
The meeting continued.
Lu Bei was uncomfortable.
He really wanted to continue watching, because his mind was full of the plot of "Zhu Xian", and he couldn't even control his anticipation for the next development, he didn't listen to a word of what this meeting talked about, he just wanted to end the meeting quickly, so that he could go back and continue reading.
"Adjournment!"
Finally, the meeting ended.
Lu Bei hurriedly walked out of the conference room, took out his mobile phone and planned to call Lao Xiong, but found that Lao Xiong was standing at the door waiting for him, and his tone was quite eager: "Do we want to mention Chu Yan's contract?"
"How much before?"
"Seven percent. ”
"Ten percent is mentioned. ”
Lu Bei opened his mouth without hesitation, this is the price of many old best-selling authors, it stands to reason that Chu Ma's fame is almost meaningless for the time being, but Lu Bei is very sure that the popularity of Chu Ma's new book will definitely not be lower than the previous "King of the Net", although he has only read much content now.
"Understood. ”
Old Bear was not surprised.
His first reaction after watching "Zhu Xian" was that this one was going to be popular.
Lao Xiong never thought that Xianxia could write like this!
He was shocked!
That's why he rushed out of the conference room like crazy before!
He has to come forward in person to greet the Propaganda Department and the Publishing Department, and even more to attract the attention of the editor-in-chief, so that the editor-in-chief can understand how good this book is.
"That's right. ”
Just as Lao Xiong was about to leave, Lu Bei suddenly got a little angry and said, "I asked you to get a Chu crazy autograph last time, why didn't you get it?"
The old bear was stagnant.
He completely forgot about this stubble, and he believed that the editor-in-chief had also forgotten about this stubble, but the appearance of "Zhu Xian" reminded the other party again.
......
Lin Yuan naturally didn't know the repercussions caused by "Zhu Xian" in the editorial department, but when he got out of school at night, he received a call from Yang Feng.
"Teacher Chu Madness!"
Yang Feng obviously noticed that the tone in which he and Chu Mad were talking became more and more humble: "Your new writing is simply amazing, the company is considering publishing the first volume of "Zhu Xian" next month, I don't know what your opinion is?"
It wasn't like this before.
If it was before, Yang Feng would probably say something like this: "Chu Mad, congratulations, you have passed the review of our editorial department, and our company will arrange the publication of this book next month." ”
The meaning is the same.
It's just that the attitude is different.
Lin Yuan naturally couldn't hear the subtle change in the other party's attitude.
He was as concise as ever: "It can be published, when will the contract be signed?"
"That's right!"
Yang Feng said with a smile: "The company has decided to increase your royalty to 10%, which is a very high price in the industry, what else do you need us to do......
"Good!"
Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his tone.
Yang Feng was a little surprised, didn't Chu Mad not love money, how could he hear that royalties could be increased, and he looked happy?
Yes.
Money represents many meanings.
Probably what Mr. Chu Mad cares about is not the increase in royalties at all, but the company's recognition of his writing strength, and the sincerity expressed by the company through money!
Money has a price.
Sincerity is priceless.
And what he wrote this time was the theme of Xianxia, and he must have been burdened with a certain amount of psychological pressure when creating, so naturally he needed various forms of recognition.
Come to think of this.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "It's good that you can be satisfied, and I must also notify you, the company will soon start the pre-sale promotion of "Zhu Xian"!"
"Hmm. ”
"So that's it?"
"So be it. ”
Lin Yuan hung up the phone, in a very good mood.
Yinlan Bookstore was always able to take the initiative to raise prices, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied.
It seems that choosing to continue to cooperate with Yinlan Shuku is indeed a good decision.
The price should be mentioned in the future, right?
I'll have to ask my sister what she said.
Sister Lin Xuan is an expert in the publishing industry and should know better.
Speaking of which, Lin Yuan also considered taking "Zhu Xian" to his sister's publishing house,
However, after Lin Yuan investigated, he found that his sister's publishing house was not large enough, and in terms of making money, it was definitely not as good as Yinlan Library, so Lin Yuan gave up.
Of course, it's more important to make money than to give my sister performance.
As for my sister's side, it's a big deal to make money on my side and share some of her.
Her hard work to earn performance is actually for a higher salary, and Lin Yuan still understands this reason.
My sister definitely prefers money as well.
Is there anyone in the world who doesn't like money?
And on the night when Lin Yuan and Yang Feng finished talking on the phone.
On the official website of Yinlan Library, the news that the writer Chu Mad is going to release a new book in July has finally been posted, which can be regarded as a warm-up mode for the promotion of the new book.
As soon as the news came out.
Chu Mad's book fans are excited!
