Another World Under My Pen

"Bai Da said it well, I have to approve it!"

After receiving a call from Sun Peng, Zheng Yele, the editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, almost jumped up and nodded in a hurry to express his strong agreement!

Give up online serialization? Focus on physical publishing?

Must do!

Regardless of people calling just to seek advice, Zheng Ye repeatedly affirmed: "Bai Da, with your current number of fans and reputation, you don't need to continue serializing on the Internet at all! A book serialization only costs a lot of manuscript fees. If these people buy a set of books...it's definitely still a good deal!"

Zheng Ye's account is fine.

According to the length of Tianlong and Ludingji, the fee chapter is at most one million words. If a person subscribes for a thousand words and pays a penny, one million words is about ten dollars, but what if this person buys a physical book without reading the online serial?

The royalties of Tianlong are at least thirty or forty!

The traditional book royalty model is much more powerful than the current electronic manuscript fee income!

"Ha ha."

Sun Peng just smiled and didn't refute anything.

Let alone how many readers who read online articles are willing to spend hundreds or even two or three hundred to buy a set of physical books, Zheng Ye's calculations alone are also a problem. Those fans who buy physical books have not read the serialization online. ? Is there a lot of overlap between the two consumer groups?

But Zheng Ye, a stakeholder, doesn’t care about this. As long as he thinks about the sales volume of Sun Peng’s new book, which is now well-established, without the influence of online serialization, he feels that the whole person is going to burn, and he doesn’t even think about old friends Han Feng should be more sorrowful, and tried his best to persuade: "Bai Da, in fact, if you want, I can even suggest it. Please discuss with our boss and the upper management of the group. It is not wrong to remove all the electronic versions of the previous books. possible……"

After all, they are all affiliated companies of Shuxiang Media Group!

"Uh, this is unnecessary, right?"

This time, Sun Peng didn’t wait for Zheng Ye to finish speaking, he immediately sweated: “I’m still thinking about not even serializing online. You’re starting to think about getting old books off the shelves? No, no. I will not consider this!"

As long as the first few novels are still on the website of Shuxiang Chinese, new readers will have a chance to see them. If they are taken off the shelves, would it be the attraction of physical books alone?

Internet reading is the general trend, and Sun Peng is not yet arrogant!

He is still thinking about even giving up on the Internet serialization.

So after discovering that Zheng Ye was obviously a bit too excited at the moment, Sun Peng immediately stopped the conversation and shook his head: "Okay, Zheng Da, I will consider this matter again, and I will talk about it later! Anyway, the next book The book is still early, and the serialization of Tianlong and Luding is still two or three months away... By the way!"

Suddenly remembering something, Sun Peng smiled and said: "Zheng Da, if I really give up online serialization, can we talk about the royalties of our new books?"

"Huh? This..."

Upon hearing this question, Zheng Ye was immediately confused.

It's fifteen o'clock, do you want to talk more?

For a while, Zheng Ye didn't know how to answer Sun Peng's question, because he knew there was no need to think about it!

Fifteen points, a proper top author level!

You can know from your thighs that as long as Sun Peng has not won any top domestic or international awards, or that his influence has reached the level of a truly top physical writer in China, the upper management of the company will not be able to agree to this outrageous condition! Fifteen points are already the highest percentage that can be given by the domestic physical publishing industry. Although it is only theoretical, Shuxiang Publishing House will never easily break this red line!

But Zheng Ye didn't dare to say no.

Although various martial arts novels have sprung up on the Internet now, who can reach the level of Lao Bai? Not to mention the updated Tianlong and Luding Ji, even Lao Bai’s original first book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the best works of other people are also far away from it!

and……

Physical publishing and online publishing are completely different things. Lao Bai's book is rich in imagination, with ups and downs in plot, but simple in writing. The final length is a little over a million words at most, which is already considered a big tome in the physical field. If the novels written by those online writers were published, how many books would it take? Do you need a price in the thousands?

Who would buy such a physical book except for real fans?

And more importantly, whose book can be as adaptable as Lao Bai?

This year, I found Shuxiang Chinese Net and Shuxiang Publishing House, and wanted to contact Lao Bai to purchase the right to adapt martial arts novels. It is undoubtedly understood that these books have the potential of adaptation. Can other people's novels achieve this?

At least for a long time to come, Lao Bai will still be the pinnacle of martial arts novels!

So after thinking about it, Zheng Ye didn't know how to answer this question. It's nonsense to say that you can talk about it, and the company can't agree to it, but it doesn't seem appropriate to say that there is no drama at all. What if this kid gets angry...

"Haha, just kidding!"

Hearing Zheng Ye's voice over there began to tremble, and Sun Peng laughed and ended the call.

Of course he understood this truth.

It is almost impossible for a martial arts novel to win prizes, so there is only one possibility for Shuxiang Publishing House to break through the fifteen-point red line: a certain Sun Peng novel sells more than 6 million copies per year! Only when this standard is reached, the publishing house will give a higher share, which is also an unwritten rule in the publishing industry.

At that time, an author represents more than just economic interests.

For such writers who are truly at the top of the pyramid, publishers may think more about not how much money they can earn from publishing their books, but how much influence they can bring to themselves!

At least the current Sun Peng is not up to that level!

However, the consideration of giving up online serialization is true. Sun Peng must carefully consider the pros and cons after giving up. After all, once a decision is made, the follow-up impact will not only be tens of millions of manuscript fees a year, but even martial arts. The promotion of the novel...

...

"Hehe, it's not just for these reasons that I actually gave up serializing online?"

While carefully digging his ears for Sun Peng, Zheng Jia tilted his head and laughed.

"Oh? What else do you think?"

Squeezing Zheng Jia's small nose, Sun Peng asked with a smile.

"be lazy!"

Grabbing Sun Peng's right hand, blinking a pair of big watery eyes, Zheng Jia said decisively: "Hmph, I have heard you complaining countless times, saying that it is troublesome to update the code every day... Do you dare to say that there is no reason for giving up online publishing?"

"Uh……"

The son Sun Peng couldn't laugh anymore, and touched his nose awkwardly.

He can't deny it!

Although not the main reason, Sun Peng really feels that time is running out as the single dog gets his girlfriend and is immersed in the final version of adult games. I have to do animation every day, continue to gain weight, play shame games, and write songs for Chen Tianhou. Sun Peng really feels that updating codewords every day is a burden.

No matter how fast you type, you have to type too, right?

A book is updated with five or six thousand words every day, and it takes nearly an hour to type it. At the same time, it is necessary to check for typos and re-typesetting-Lao Jin’s sections cannot be read on the phone. In this case, two or three hours a day is not annoying?

Once you give up the network update, things will be easier.

Sun Peng can completely wait until he is free to set aside a month to finish a book leisurely, and then hand it over to the publishing house for typesetting. And instead of doing it like this, typing every day has almost become his daily task, and it won’t be a day if he doesn’t do it!

Of course, why didn’t we save the manuscript in our free time before? Lao Bai would never think about it...

"Look, I'm right!"

After reading Sun Peng's reflection, Zheng Jia suddenly said with some triumph.

"Uh...you are right!"

Sun Peng, who had been told his mind, became angry and sneered. He turned over and held Zheng Jia down!

"Ouch!"

In the girl's exclamation, Sun Peng laughed and said: "Little girl, since you have seen through my secret, then you can't let you continue...Ouch! Do you dare to bite? I fight with you... …"
