Entertainment: Re-Employment From The Wind
Chapter 41: It's A Deal!
"It's another Nan Feng day, I'm in front of the hill..." (local song, made up by the author)
"Hush~ Hong Guowei's call."
On the way back to Yunmiao Village, a few people were chatting, and Liu Changqing's phone rang.
It turned out to be Hong Guowei's phone call. Since the two chatted that day, and Hong Guowei said that he would go to the meeting, this matter has been silent.
Liu Changqing thought that this matter was so obscene, but he did not expect that he received a call from Hong Guowei today.
Signaling them not to speak for now, Liu Changqing answered the phone.
"Brother Liu, the matter of the copyright dividend has been discussed by our publishing house, and it is finally decided to sign according to the 10% dividend."
"Huh? Really?" Liu Changqing didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy in this trip, but he couldn't show it, and said, "Brother Hong, thank you! I will treat you to dinner when I come to Kyoto."
Liu Changqing can also imagine that Hong Guowei must have put a lot of effort into convincing others to give him such a high copyright dividend for a newcomer.
But I can also understand that I have no relatives or reasons with him, and the only relationship is the thread held by Xie Zhiyao, and Xie Zhiyao also met Hong Guowei through other friends.
With regard to this irreconcilable relationship, he can fight for his own interests. Apart from being optimistic about this book, to put it bluntly, he understands everything.
"Brother, I have put in a lot of effort this time, but there is one more request, I wonder if you can agree to it." Hong Guowei said with a smile.
"Oh? Tell me." Of course Liu Changqing knew that they had made a concession, so he had to express it, but for Liu Changqing, as long as it didn't involve core interests, everything else could be discussed.
"Brother, I am very optimistic that your book can help us open up the overseas situation."
Liu Changqing didn't expect that Hong Guowei would be so straightforward this time, and he wouldn't go around the bush.
"so what?"
"We also hope that we can't make wedding dresses for others, brother, you understand when I say this." Hong Guowei said.
In case this book really became popular overseas, and someone else picked the peaches, let alone those two words, he can still sit down and talk about whether he can sit in the position of editor-in-chief.
"Understood!" Liu Changqing said: "It's no problem to distribute the domestic Chinese version to you too!"
"Good guy, bro, you're planning to separate domestic and foreign countries and sell them!"
"What did the old man say?" Liu Changqing deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Hey, bro, I won't go around the bush, we just want to sign all of your basic sequels, how about it?"
"Hehe, wait for me here." Liu Changqing thought, all the previous excitement was gone.
That's right, now that I'm a newcomer in the physical business, 10% of the copyright dividend is indeed very high.
But this does not mean that I am still a newcomer after writing one or two novels.
Liu Changqing is now absolutely confident that this book will be popular all over the world. You want to sign all 7 novels at once with 10% copyright dividends. It's a beautiful idea.
But for business, bargaining is normal.
"Brother, it's not that I don't agree. Who can say what will happen in the future? What if I don't want to write that day, but I owe you a book and I can't be forced to write nonsense. Did you get this IP?" Liu Changqing said.
Hong Guowei is also a fine individual, how could he fail to understand what Liu Changqing meant? To sum it up, it's just three words, you need to add money.
He smiled: "Brother, although I only had two phone calls with you, and I haven't even met face to face, but your character, brother, I can trust. This work is like our writer Your biological child, are you willing to let your child starve and cold? No, don’t worry, brother, we will not rush you either. When you can hand in the manuscript, you can do it! This can be written into the contract. "
This old fox is not fooled at all, and never mentions the word of adding money.
"Haha, brother, what you said is quite correct. This work is like our writer's child, but the child needs money to eat female fans."
Didn't you give this example? Then I will use the example you gave to refute you. Before Hong Guowei could speak, Liu Changqing continued.
"Hey, let me tell the truth. It's impossible to sign 7 books with 10% of the copyright. I can only consider signing with your publishing house first under the same conditions. This can also be included in the contract."
Liu Changqing stopped pretending and had a showdown.
In the previous life, "Hogwarts and the Sorcerer's Stone" sold 125 million copies worldwide. According to the average price of 25 copies, the dividend of this thing is more than 30 million.
Well, even if the sales volume of the next few books is not as good as that of "Sorcerer's Stone", it still adds up to the difference of several small goals! And by 2021, that is, this year, there will only be 626 billionaires across the country.
Hong Guowei wanted to sign this series of 7 books in one sentence, and he really thought too much.
"Haha, brother, brother, you are really not easy to fool!" Hong Guowei said with a smile.
Liu Changqing was dumbfounded? What's wrong? Stop playing? Admit directly that you are fooling me?
"Okay, this clause can be written in the contract. Under the same conditions, we will give priority to signing with our agency."
"Okay, then shall we have a happy cooperation?" Liu Changqing was relieved, as this matter had been dragging on for a while.
"Happy cooperation! But it may still be necessary for my brother to come to Kyoto, let's sign a contract."
"Okay! No problem! But I still have something to deal with here. Can I do it in a few days? I can hand over the book to you for review first!" Liu Changqing said.
This is purely a gentleman's agreement, but Liu Changqing is not afraid of them running away with the book.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Changqing thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood the meaning behind Hong Guowei's words.
It is nothing more than that he may have been promoted by then, and this matter will not belong to him. Although it is a good thing to be able to get it down now, it is also a icing on the cake and has little effect on him.
And it is estimated that there are 7 books in this book, but he said that he has never told the publisher.
"It's really old fried dough sticks." Liu Changqing sighed.
If I didn't time travel, or if I continued to stay in that company after time travel, I guess I would become such an old fritter.
"What's the matter? What did Lao Hong say?" Seeing Liu Changqing muttering there, Xie Zhiyao asked curiously.
"It's nothing, just the publication of my new book." Liu Changqing said.
"Are you ready?"
"We have negotiated, 10% copyright dividend, and Lao Hong wants to sign 7 copies at a time, but I only wrote one." Liu Changqing said with a smile.
"Is a businessman chasing profit? I understand Lao Hong's behavior. Although he values profit, he can still get along with him." Xie Zhiyao said.
"Indeed, although the oil is a bit oily, but the person is okay."
"Brother Changqing, are you still a writer?"
When they first met Liu Changqing to talk about themselves, Xie Xiaoxia was not there, so Xie Xiaoxia didn't know that Liu Changqing was a novelist.
After this time when Liu Changqing helped him get the money back, Xie Xiaoxia's admiration for Liu Changqing can already be said to be overwhelming, and he even put Liu Changqing in the same position as Xie Zhiyao in his heart.
And now hearing Liu Changqing say that he is still a writer, this makes Xie Xiaoxia, who is not well educated, admire him even more, because in his eyes, a writer is much more powerful than a businessman.
"Writers don't dare to speak, they just try to write something to survive." Liu Changqing said modestly.
"Don't listen to your brother Changqing's nonsense, if he is struggling to get by, then what we eat and drink will be chaff." Xie Zhiyao broke Liu Changqing's stage.
"When you come back this time, you should settle down and learn from Master Xie. As a non-inherited person, your pattern will not be limited here." Xie Zhiyao said earnestly.
"Yeah." Xie Xiaoxia nodded heavily, he no longer has any beautiful illusions about the outside world, or Brother Changqing said well, home is a paradise...
After returning home, Liu Changqing opened "Hogwarts". He thought of a wonderful foreshadowing and wanted to add it.
In this way, "Hogwarts" can not only write the main text, but also publish one or two extra books, and even think in a larger direction, and can also carry out cultural output.
And it's easy to modify, just add a short paragraph to Dumbledore's school rules when the little devil Mage is enrolled.
