Rebirth: Starting From the Confession

Chapter 25 Asking for the price in the sky, repaying the money on the ground

"Mr. Fang should be in college, right?"

Li Jie sipped her coffee and asked curiously.

Fang Yi replied, "Just graduated from high school."

At this moment, Yang Zhen has been completely immersed in the novel. The two books, Jingjue Ancient City and Longling Grotto, add up to hundreds of thousands of words. Even if Yang Zhen has ten lines in one eye, he can't read it for a while, not to mention there are still more leftovers. Six-part outline.

Now that there are no mobile phones and tablets, the two can only pass the time by chatting.

"Where to fill in the volunteer? If you are in the magic capital, you can consider coming to work part-time under our banyan tree." Li Jie invited.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "That's a pity, I volunteered to fill in the Jin Da."

At this time of the millennium, volunteering is completely different from the future. In later generations, after the end of the college entrance examination, the scores were known, and then the volunteers began to be filled.

But now, before the college entrance examination, you have to fill in the volunteers. When the college entrance examination scores are down, you will know whether you have fallen off the list.

It's amazing!

However, this method of filling in the volunteers first and taking the exams has great disadvantages.

For example, before the college entrance examination, you felt that your grades were average, so you filled out a second university. As a result, the college entrance examination exploded, performed super-level, and got a score line for the test.

then what should we do?

Either pinch your nose and go to the second book, or choose to re-read for a year.

This sucks.

Therefore, in 2003, many provinces cancelled the college entrance examination after filling in the volunteers, and changed it to the later generations' known scores and then filling in the volunteers.

In a previous life, Fang Yi was like this. Usually, the scores of various exams in my studies are hovering in the second line. As a result, the college entrance examination exceeded the first line.

However, he was more fortunate, and his first choice was a school.

After rebirth, with the small benefit of memory enhancement, his first choice was Jinda University, and his second choice was Dongda University.

As for the third and fourth choice, he simply did not fill in.

If the score is sufficient, it will be directly admitted to Jinda University.

When he was in the examination room before, he hadn't fully adapted to this era, and he was still confused about whether to go to Jinda or Dongda.

Thinking about it now, it's really idle.

After a few chats, Li Jie turned the topic to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Mr. Fang, have you been to the ancient city of Jingjue?"

"Of course!" Fang Yi replied.

"real?"

Li Jie looked at him suspiciously, dubious.

Fang Yi really didn't tease her this time. In his previous life, he had been to the ancient city of Jingjue, but it was completely different from the description in the novel.

"You, I don't even know if that sentence is true or not." Li Jie shook her head helplessly.

Fang Yi smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be more interesting?"

Hearing this, Li Jie was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, she agreed: "It seems that it is indeed the case!"

"call!"

At this moment, Yang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and slowly put down the manuscript in his hand.

With hundreds of thousands of words, plus six outlines, he couldn't read it in such a short time.

He watched the text while jumping, picking out the highlights. As for the remaining six outlines, he read it in more detail.

As the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, his writing level may not be high, but his appreciation ability is definitely not low.

After reading the two main texts and the six outlines, he already knew it.

Next, there is the question of price.

Thinking of this, he said, "Mr. Fang, let's talk about it in detail!"

"good!"

Fang Yi nodded and said directly: "I don't plan to share this book, I only accept a one-time buyout."

buyout?

Although Yang Zhen was a little strange, he still agreed decisively: "No problem, I don't know what Mr. Fang's request for the buyout price is?"

From the standpoint of the publishing house, the buyout is obviously more beneficial than the share.

In particular, this kind of explosive book can continue to generate benefits for the publishing house in the following years, or even more than ten years.

Therefore, Yang Zhen has no reason not to agree.

The index finger tapped the table a few times, Fang Yi pondered for a moment, and quoted a price: "1.8 million!"

"Mr. Fang, the price of 1.8 million is simply impossible!"

Yang Zhen couldn't help shaking his head and smiled bitterly: "The price in my heart is 100 thousand words, which is already very high in the industry!"

Hearing 1.8 million, Yang Zhen showed no shock at all.

Negotiations are like this, asking prices all over the sky and paying back the money on the ground.

Fang Yi asked for 1.8 million, and he directly returned 100 thousand words.

The whole book is 2.3 million words, and 100 thousand words sounds like a lot, but in reality it is only 230,000 words.

In fact, to be honest, Yang Zhen really didn't cheat Fang Yi, and now the price of 100 words per thousand words is indeed very high.

Fang Yi smiled slightly: "Editor Yang, it seems that you don't understand what I mean."

"How to say?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhen subconsciously straightened his waist and sat upright.

"The buyout I'm talking about is not only the physical copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but also all copyrights of film and television, games, audio, comics, animation, etc., which are packaged and sold together."

After hearing Fang Yi's explanation, Yang Zhen couldn't help frowning slightly.

He knows the copyright of film and television, and he can barely understand the copyright of games, comics and animation, but what the hell is audio copyright?

"Mr. Fang, this... audio copyright, can you explain it?" Yang Zhen pushed his glasses and asked.

Fang Yi didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Editor Yang, what programs are there in the late night of Modu's radio broadcasts?"

understood!

Yang Zhen is not a fool, he was a little bit by Fang Yi, and he immediately figured it out.

When I realized it, I couldn't help but admire it.

hiss!

This young man has a very flexible mind.

It's astonishing to link horror novels with the late night section of a radio station.

Li Jie on the side also reacted at the moment, looking at Fang Yi with surprise.

In fact, the most compatible with audio copyrights are various audio novel apps, but talking to them now is like a fantasy.

Fang Yi simply threw out the radio broadcast. It happened that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was a horror novel, which matched well with the radio's late-night column.

If it were a different type of novel, Yang Zhen would probably not buy it.

"There are so many radio stations in China, even if the sound copyright fee is not high, it is still a lot of income." Fang Yi continued to add fuel to it.

In fact, when it comes to audio copyright, he can completely bypass the publishing house. After the physical book of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is published, he will directly take the physical book and go to the radio station.

However, this is too tiring and the price is not high. It is better to pack and sell it to Hongyan Publishing House. *
