Little Farmer Big Star

After Jared, Muller of Boguo De Hertz Publishing House and the heads of several other publishing houses also expressed that if Li Fan's fantasy literature has a certain distribution value, they are also willing to do it for free. Published by Li Fan and distributed in their country. 【】

And their underlying meaning is that if Li Fan's fantasy literature has no distribution value, if Li Fan wants to publish it, he can only publish it at his own expense.

Of course, this is indeed the case. If the quality of the author's book is not good, if you want to publish it, you can only pay for it yourself and ask the publisher to publish it.

However, facts are facts. Now the major publishing houses are speaking so directly, and the slight sarcasm in their words can be understood by everyone present.

For a while, they all turned to look at Li Fan, wanting to see embarrassment, shame, or anger on Li Fan's face.

However, none of these were seen on Li Fan's face.

All he saw was that Li Fan still smiled faintly and said, "I haven't finished what I just said. I don't want copyright fees, but that doesn't mean I don't want money. In our country, between publishers and authors, there is another kind of The way of cooperation, that is, the author does not need copyright fees, but adopts the method of sharing. I wonder if Mr. Muller, Mr. Jared, and the other publishers in charge have such a method of cooperation? "

The heads of the publishing houses were all stunned, and then Jared said: "Of course there is this kind of cooperation, but ordinary authors don't choose this way. Because they don't know how well their books are sold? One-off Getting the copyright fee that you are satisfied with is the safest way.”

Li Fandao: "As long as I have it, I plan to cooperate with various publishing houses in this way. As for how much I will share, on today's special day, I will share a little less, just 10%. "

"How much, how much?" All the people at the scene were stunned, thinking they had heard it wrong.

The people on the scene, in addition to the authors and the publishing industry, the rest of the staff also basically know the publishing industry.

The share that the publishing house gives to the author is based on the price.

For example, a book priced at 30 yuan, if the author points 10 percent, that is 3 yuan.

In other words, the publisher will give the author 3 yuan for every book printed.

However, the cost of publishing physical books by publishers is actually very high. In addition to the author's remuneration or copyright fees, there are many other costs.

for example,

Printing fee, paper fee, transportation fee, storage fee, discount difference between Mayang and Shiyang, plus a certain damage rate, etc.

After seventy-seven-eighty-eight calculations, a book priced at 30 yuan, the final net profit obtained by the publishing house is generally only five or six yuan, six or seven yuan, and will not exceed 10 quick cash.

The ten percent share is quite high.

Of course, everyone also knows that Li Fan is not asking for a malicious price.

If it is a super bestseller, let alone 10 percent, it is 11, 12, or even higher, and publishers are willing to give it.

But the key is Li Fan's fantasy literature, and if he dares to ask for such a price, everyone has to doubt their ears.

From the publisher's point of view, it would be too naive to ask for a 10-percent share of a book that the author needs to publish at his own expense.

Jared said without a smile: "Mr. Li Fan is joking, this is absolutely impossible."

After Jared, Muller and other publishers also said that it was impossible, and they were fools.

Jim, Anderin, Gesen and others also sneered in their hearts. In their opinion, this must have been said by Li Fan on purpose, trying to resolve the previous embarrassing situation.

Li Fan nodded and said, "I can understand everyone's concerns, but this is really a pity. Now, it seems that my entries can only be published in our country for the time being. Fortunately, this time the competition rules, Don't look at sales, otherwise, I would have been eliminated now."

Jim laughed and said: "Mr. Li Fan is too modest. After Mr. Li Fan's works are created, if Jared and Muller think it's okay, they can still publish them abroad."

Li Fan nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Jim for his auspicious words."

Jim said again: "Where, where, I believe that Mr. Li Fan has this strength."

Regarding the copyright issue, come to an end, Jim, Anderin, Gerson and others are in a very good mood.

Everything was almost as they expected. Li Fan's entries could not even sell the publishing rights in other countries. After the news was known to netizens in Huaguo, it would be very lively again.

So far, this children's literature exchange summit is really coming to an end.

Yu Qiu, president of the Chinese Writers Association, and La Ruf, president of the Languo Writers Association, made final concluding remarks respectively.

After that, the exchange summit finally ended successfully.

The writers are very satisfied with this trip to China.

...

After the summit, Han Feng, a representative of the publishing industry in China and the head of Early Rain Publishing House, approached Li Fan and expressed his willingness to buy the publishing rights of Li Fan's entries in China.

Li Fan said that there is no problem of course, or according to the split, it is 8%.

8% is indeed the low price given by Li Fan.

You must know that the work he was about to come up with created a sales myth in his previous life and was one of the best-selling works in the world.

Even the 10 percentage points previously given to Jared, Loew and others is not considered a high price.

It's just a pity that no one wants to believe him.

Of course, Li Fan can also understand, but he really feels a little regretful.

And Han Feng also doesn't seem to believe in Li Fan, and said with a slight frown: "Mr. Li Fan, with your current reputation, we believe that many people will be willing to buy your works. But our fantasy literature The market is still uncertain, which is also a fact. Besides, Mr. Li Fan is trying to create fantasy literature for the first time. There are too many uncertain factors. Is 8 percentage points too high?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I understand Mr. Han's concerns very well, but this price is indeed my bottom line price."

Han Feng frowned even more, thought about it and said, "If that's the case, then we can only talk to Mr. Li Fan about cooperation some other day."

Li Fan smiled and said: "I know Mr. Han wants to wait, the fantasy literature market in our country is clearer, and after reading my works, we will discuss the issue of cooperation. Of course, there is no problem. However, Mr. Han, if anyone Get ahead of you and reach a cooperation agreement with me, then I can only say sorry."

Han Feng also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, if there are other publishing houses willing to cooperate with Mr. Li Fan, Mr. Li Fan can just agree."

Li Fan nodded, and after the two said a few more words, they said goodbye to each other.

Another person in charge of Early Rain Publishing House, Huang Zhaoyang, saw Han Feng coming back and asked, "Old Han, how is it?"

Han Feng shook his head, sneered, and told Huang Zhaoyang the situation.

After hearing this, Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said, "We just saw that he was rejected by so many foreign publishing houses and lost face, so we kindly bought his copyright. He is so ignorant of praise, he really thinks that he created fantasy literature. The works will also be very marketable?"

Han Feng smiled and said, "It is estimated that he has been on the altar for a long time, thinking that no matter what book he writes, it will be very popular."

Huang Zhaoyang shook his head and said again: "Forget it, leave him alone. Let's go to Mr. Jim to talk about the copyright issue of his entry works published in our country, it's not convenient for us to talk about it at the venue just now. , now it doesn't matter in private."

Han Feng nodded, and then the two went to Jim to discuss related copyright matters.
