Although it is the first time to write a novel, Jiang Chen knows that the publishing contract of a novel cannot be negotiated casually. Moreover, there are many tricks in the publishing contract. If you are not careful, you will be killed as a pig, as Yingzi said. More than one of the writers in the previous life suffered a loss because of the contract and lost a lot of money. Jiang Chen is very clear about the value of "Ghost Lantern". Therefore, he will never be careless. At the beginning, a Patek Philippe watch was shown, so that this female editor would not forget to know her family background. The first advantage is to make the other party fearful and dare not ignore Hiroto casually. The second advantage is to save time and directly tell the other party that I am not an ordinary new author who has never seen the world. It's better to be smart and quote a sincere price directly, so as not to waste everyone's time.
When Jiang Chen returned to the box, there was already a contract on the table. "Author of Shubaili, this is a contract from Shenghua Publishing House, please take a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, just tell me, and I will try my best to help you fight for it from the company." Don't forget to say enthusiastically. Even if this cooperation is unsuccessful, Mo Wang still wants to make Jiang Chen a friend. There is no benevolence and righteousness in business! Maybe, there will be places where Jiang Chen needs help in the future. "Then I'll trouble you, you don't need to call me by my pseudonym, just call me Jiang Chen." "Heck...then I'm not going to be polite." Mo Wang smiled and said, "But you should call me Mo Wang, because my real name...is less pleasant." As soon as these words came out, the old lonely beside him frowned, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Unlike Jiang Chen's doubts, he knew something about Mo Wang. Don't forget, his original name is Wu Gan, which is a homonym for "no money". Therefore, don't forget that you don't like your original name. The problem is that your parents won't let you change it, saying that it's a name you asked for from a fortune teller, and it can prevent disasters. That is to say, a cheap name is easy to support. Because of this, Mo Wang seldom uses his real name even in his life. Gradually, many people have forgotten their original name. Although Jiang Chen didn't know the reason, he didn't ask any further questions. After nodding his head, he looked at the contract. But after reading a few pages, he couldn't help frowning. "Two hundred yuan for a thousand characters?" I have to say that this price is not low among newcomers, and even exceeds it.
But the question is, how could Jiang Chen sell "Ghost Lantern" so cheaply. "Oh, this is the contract signing money." Mo Wang saw that Jiang Chen had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "As long as you sign the contract, you can get the money. The real contract quotation will come later." Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned. It turned out to be a signing fee! Turned a page back, and sure enough, there was a real offer. "Generally speaking, there are two types of offers. One is a buyout, and the other is a share. I think this book is so good, Jiang Chen, you don't want to be bought out." Don't forget to say. Although the buyout can get money at one time, but the money is not too much. If the author feels that his writing is not good and may not sell much, then buying out is naturally the best and relatively stable. And sharing is actually a kind of gambling. The author believes that his novels can sell a lot, and if he wins the bet, he will earn a lot. But if you lose the bet and the book cannot be sold, you may not earn as much as the buyout fee. However, this kind of situation generally does not happen on the explosive book. The sales volume of "Ghost Lamp" is so good now, anyone with a bit of a brain can tell that once this book is on the shelves, the sales volume is bound to be very hot. Don't forget to believe that Jiang Chen is not a brainless person. Sure enough, Jiang Chen nodded and said with a smile, "The share ratio is 12%, which is really good." However, when Mo Wang looked at Jiang Chen's smile, his heart lifted. Although Jiang Chen smiled, Mo Wang could tell that it was not a satisfied smile. "Jiang Chen, the proportion of new authors is generally between 5% and 8%. There are only a very small number of veteran authors in the online literature circle, which can reach more than 10%." Don't forget that Jiang Chen didn't understand, so he quickly said: "Our publishing house has given a 12% share, which is already very sincere." Hearing this, Jiang Chen didn't answer her, but turned to look at Lao Gu. "Old Gu, what is the proportion of the great writers under your command?" Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly. "It's 15 percent." Now, it was Mo Wang's turn to be shocked. "Jiang Chen, 15% is the sharing ratio for great writers, and it is the highest sharing ratio in the online literature circle!" Mo Wangben thought that the contract he picked out was very sincere, but he never thought that Jiang Chen's ambitions were so big and he wanted so much.
To actually want the sharing treatment of a great writer! But the problem is, Jiang Chen is not a great writer yet! "Could it be that the grades of my book are worse than those of those great writers?" Jiang Chen asked back: "I remember, my first-day subscription today seems to have broken the records of those great writers." "Uh... half a day to be precise." Lao Gu added: "If it's up to now, it's already too much." "..." Don't forget to watch Jiang Chen and the two sing together, and the whole person feels bad. Nima's, Two big men bullying a weak woman! Mo Wang could tell that Jiang Chen and the others just wanted to take advantage of the fire. The current situation of Shenghua Publishing House gave them a chance! Don't forget to want to refuse, after all, this is breaking the industry rules. New writers take 15% of the share, and if it spreads out, it may cause a sensation in the entire Internet circle. But the current situation of Shenghua Publishing House made her have to seriously consider it. Shenghua Publishing House urgently needs a hit novel, and also urgently needs the cooperation of a great author, so as to regain the trust of authors in the online literature circle. This is a matter of urgency. After a long time, the online literature circle, which belongs to Shenghua Publishing House, will be divided up by other publishing houses. But how can it be so easy to find a blockbuster novel, not to mention a record-breaking blockbuster novel like "Ghost Lantern", which is rare in ten years. Don't forget to believe that as long as this contract is negotiated, Shenghua Publishing House will definitely be able to quickly return to its previous position. With Jiang Chen's cooperation, other authors will definitely come back slowly. But…… "Miss Mo Wang, in fact, you also know that as long as Jiang Chen plays steadily, then after this book, Jiang Chen will definitely be rated as a great writer in the Internet circle." Seeing Mo Wang's tangled face, the old man seduced, "In this way, Shenghua Publishing House is not breaking the rules. Maybe it will be called a hero with discerning eyes." "..." ps: Thank you 1368... the monthly pass of the boss, thank you very much.
