In the case of fruitless discussions, Changhong Publishing House can only sit and wait for the arrival of the other two publishing houses, and the three publishing houses jointly bid for it, according to Pi Jianzhou's attitude, it should be the one with the highest price.During this period, Changhong Publishing House also talked with Liao Yuan about the publication price of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"."
We have a consistent contract standard for new writers, and the price is given according to the volume, as long as the works of new writers are good enough, they usually start at 7,000 yuan a volume, and each volume is about 70,000 words, about 100 yuan per thousand words."
One of the business editors introduced to Liao Yuan: ""Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is a work that has been published publicly, and the freshness will be greatly discounted, but in view of the fact that it has gained a certain influence on the Internet, we will raise the price by 20 depending on the situation, that is, 8,400 yuan per volume, if Liao has no objection, we will let people bind the contract." ”Liao Yuan smiled.According to 8,400 volumes, each volume is 70,000 words, and the full 2 million words of "Ghost Blows the Lamp" will only receive about 240,000 yuan in the end.Liao Yuan smiled angrily and turned to look at Lai Yibai.Lai Yibai also calculated clearly at this time, and she said in shock: "Isn't it?
So low?
”"Low?
For a new writer, it's already a good price. ”The business editor said disapprovingly.Lai Yibai shook his head and said: "Do you know how much the audio copyright of this novel alone has sold on our station?"
One and a half million!
In comparison, isn't the price you offer outrageously low?
”The business editor was a little surprised, and he didn't seem to expect that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" could be opened at such a high price.At this time, Hou Jie spoke: "Xiao Liu, you re-evaluate, I have heard some of the plots of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", whether it is the text or the story, they can stand up to scrutiny, it is a rare work of tomb robbery, the price you said is indeed a bit low." ”"Really?"
The business editor thought about it, tapped on the laptop again, and checked it before he spoke again: "Okay, since there is a waiting editor-in-chief to intercede, we will reformulate the price - this is the final price, 20,000 yuan per volume, Writer Liao, what do you think?"
”20,000 yuan per volume, calculated according to 2 million words, a total of 28 volumes, the final remuneration is about 570,000 yuan......
Lai Yibai looked at Liao Yuan with some embarrassment, she felt a little guilty, because in her eyes, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is far higher than this price, after all, in addition to the 1.5 million income brought to Liao Yuan by the audio copyright, Liao Yuan's monthly income in the station reached about 600,000 just by broadcasting "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".And now, publishing a complete set of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the final benefit is not even worth Liao Yuan's monthly income......
No wonder writer Pi Jianzhou didn't sign a contract with you.At this moment, there was movement outside the door, and two middle-aged men in white shirts carried leather bags, changed into slippers at the door, and walked into the living room one after another.Seeing this, Pi Jianzhou, who had been pretending to be a gesture, immediately got up and greeted him with a smile: "Hu Bian is here, my tea was brewed early, and the tea is cold, come on, I will make two hot teas again, so that Hu Bian and this friend can taste the high-quality tea I just collected." ”Pi Jianzhou's words are very different from treating Changhong Publishing House, and Hou Jie and others who watched it felt quite uncomfortable."
The leather writer is polite, then I might as well be respectful and try your tea?"
The man in the white shirt with glasses said with a smile.Then, he glanced at the situation in the room, and when he saw Hou Jie, he nodded slightly.The latter also smiled, the well-known editor-in-chief Hu of Huaxia Book Company was much more connected than him in the industry, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.The gaze continues to shift.When he saw Liao Yuan, who was playing with his fingers down, the man in the white shirt showed doubts.The next moment, he was suddenly stunned, got up and walked towards Liao Yuan, and asked politely: "Dare to ask Mr.
Honorable Name?"
”The picture is a bit lonely.Everyone looked at Liao Yuan, including Pi Jianzhou, who was making tea."
My name is Liao Yuan."
Liao Yuan replied.The man in the white shirt was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's Mr.
Liao, I didn't expect to see Mr.
Liao on the outskirts of the city, great, Xiao Li, Xiao Li!"
”The assistant who came with him hurriedly walked over, "Hu Bian, you command." ”"Quick, take a picture of me, I want to take a picture with Mr.
Liao."
Editor Hu was beside Liao Yuan and said with a smile.When the assistant heard this, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and pressed the shooting button on Liao Yuan and Editor Hu."
Hu Bian, what's going on?"
Pi Jianzhou made tea and asked with a puzzled expression.Editor Hu laughed: "Leather writer, you are really my lucky star, I didn't expect to meet Mr.
Liao here, I looked for Mr.
Liao very hard, I haven't been able to get contact information, this time I came to the East China Sea, I came specially for Mr.
Liao, I didn't expect to meet here in advance, it's really fate." ”Pi Jianzhou smiled, but he was still confused in his heart.Specially for Mr.
Liao?
So what am I?
A foil?
Editor Hu smiled again and shook hands with Liao Yuan: "Mr.
Liao, I am Hu Fangyong, the editor-in-chief in charge of publishing business of Huaxia Book Company, does Mr.
Liao remember me?"
”Huaxia Book Company?
Something familiar.But looking at Hu Fangyong carefully, Liao Yuan shook his head and said suspiciously: "We've met?"
”Hu Fangyong sighed: "Mr.
Liao is really busy, I have sent you private messages on Weibo many times, but I have not received a reply, if you don't believe it, can you open Weibo and take a look?"
”When Liao Yuan heard this, he took out his mobile phone and opened the private message page of Weibo.When he saw the countless private messages displayed in the dense list of private messages, Hu Fangyong finally understood that it was not that Liao Yuan didn't remember, but that Liao Yuan didn't see the private messages at all."
You follow me, and then set up private messages that only friends can send, otherwise, you have too many private messages."
Hu Fangyong enthusiastically took out his mobile phone and paid attention to Liao Yuan.Then Liao Yuan saw the content of the private message from Hu Fangyong."
Mr.
Liao, I am Hu Fangyong, the editor-in-chief of Huaxia Book Company, and I am interested in publishing your work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"."
Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Liao, I intend to publish "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", please reply to the private message when you see it.""
Mr.
Liao......"
Liao Yuan finally remembered at this time, he had seen these private messages not long ago.In fact, in addition to Huaxia Book Company, the official Weibo of many publishing houses on Weibo also left more or less private messages to Liao Yuan, most of which asked for cooperation in publishing.Liao Yuan didn't pay too much attention to these private messages, compared to the Internet, he believed more in the context of reality, not to mention, he had asked Lai Yibai to find a publishing house to sign a contract, but he didn't expect that the publishing house that Lai Yibai found didn't seem to be as reliable as the publishing houses that sent him private messages on the Internet.At this time, the entire reception room was more and more silent by Hu Fangyong's sudden excitement.Hou Jie looked at this scene, swallowed heavily, the blood in his body was cold, and he felt that there seemed to be something in his life that was passing quickly.
------ps: The fourth watch is over, although the time span is a bit long......
During the period, I fell asleep on the desk, cough, and asked for a recommendation ticket!
