What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

"Your savings card account with the end number 9527 received 3,347,556.12 yuan in Chinese currency from the payment of manuscript fees at 19:21 on June 12, and the current balance is 3,347,556.12 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]"

Li Chungang was flipping through the document Luo Wen handed over, which was actually a simple letter of authorization for literary agency. After Party A, the writer himself, signed the agreement, Party B, the literary agent (studio), would take full responsibility for A. Everything corresponding to Fang's works.

The screen of the mobile phone placed on the right side suddenly rang. It was the unique reminder tone of the mobile phone text message instead of the WeChat message. I can't move anymore.

Happiness comes so suddenly!

According to a Chinese website, the release time of manuscript fees is between the 10th and 15th of each month, and there will be a certain time gap between different banks. It is promised that all the payment will be completed within 15 days at the latest.

Who knows the efficiency of business and industry, and it is not ruled out that it is because today's trip to a certain Chinese website played a supervisory role, so there was a situation in which the publishing fee was sent to text messages at night.

"Everyone's time is precious, so let's get straight to the point. Maybe you think your stuff is very sincere, but I'm sorry..."

At the moment when he heard the words "I'm sorry" from Li Chungang's mouth, Luo Wen felt that his heart stopped beating a little bit, and the confidence and tension before departure seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and the rest Completely ashamed.

"I'm sorry that I know almost nothing about the literary agent business if I didn't meet you, so I can't see the sincerity in your agreement, but you can tell me in detail, from your literary agent How does the general rake ratio start..."

For literary agents, their income is closely related to the income of the writers represented by the banner. If the income of the writer is too low, there is no way to even maintain the most basic expenses of the studio.

There are only two roads before these literary agency studios: either the quantity is greater than the quality, a large number of contracted writers, similar to casting a wide net to catch more fish, and finally choose the best ones, just need to stand out from this large number of writers Either can be hugely profitable for the studio.

Either the quality is greater than the quantity, and having a best-selling author is already worth ten or even a hundred!

The former requires a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise how can we handle the workload brought by signing so many writers; the latter is more about the luck and strength of the studio.

Now Luo Wen is 100% sure that Li Chungang is the potential stock that must be caught in his hands. The subscription fee for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in a certain Chinese website channel does not count. According to what he learned from his peers, it is only published in China. The basic income of the copyright is more than one million, not to mention the royalties brought by subsequent sales.

Li Chungang knows that he will come up with more and better works in the future. If the literary agent can't fully share his worries, signing the contract is tantamount to giving people money for nothing. Since it is giving money, he might as well put these Donating money to do good deeds can at least help more people.

Luo Wen felt like he was riding a roller coaster at this time, and the ups and downs almost made people recite it in one breath, even if he didn't have a heart attack, he would almost have a heart attack.

"The revenue percentage of the literary agency industry was originally based on the contract between foreign counterparts and domestic brokers. The industry rule is 10% of copyright and royalties. Of course, this ratio varies from person to person. As far as I know, there are top-notch ones. Agency studios charge 50% of everything."

There are all kinds of benefit distribution, and there are even literary agency studios that sign a 3+5 training agreement with writers, that is, the works written by writers in the first three years, except for the basic guaranteed income, all other incomes are owned by the studio.

The euphemistically called cultivation cost recovery.

After the studio has made the writer famous through various resources and contacts, the writer will continue to cooperate with the studio for five years, and only the parties involved will know the specific share of the five-year cooperation.

These percentages are all negotiable by both parties!

After listening to Luo Wen's explanation of their general rules, Li Chungang was able to judge why the other party regarded this agreement as the greatest sincerity.

Because Luo Wen stated in the agreement that the literary agent commission is only 5%, which is more than double the standard!

What would you think if it was you who received half the salary of someone else in the same position?

"I believe that you can reap as much as you give! 5% of the commission rate seems sincere to you, but at the same time, I can't help but doubt whether you can wholeheartedly create greater benefits for me."

Many misunderstandings were caused by lack of timely communication. Li Chungang did not want any misunderstandings in the cooperation after the two parties signed the contract, so he chose to speak out the doubts in his heart.

Luo Wen was also very forthright, he was confident to keep Li Chungang, so he said calmly: "Compare your heart to your heart, I understand that you have such doubts. I can only tell you here that I, Luo Wen, will never do this! It is difficult to be convincing, so at the end of the agreement...

I have specifically revised the breach of contract regulations, Party A can unilaterally terminate the literary agency relationship with Party B at will without reason! I think this is the greatest sincerity I can give you, and I am confident that I can use actions and performances to win your trust! "

"..."

To put it bluntly, Li Chungang was indeed completely moved by Luo Wen's words, but the heartbeat is the heartbeat, and some things and sometimes the reality still needs to be realistic.

"The conditions you offered and your sincerity moved me, but I still need to see your strength. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been finished. I believe you are clear. At present, the five giants of online literature, except those who focus on female frequency Everyone outside Lehuang is inviting me with a great promise.

I won't sign this formal agreement for the time being, but we can sign a temporary agreement, and this negotiation with the website renewal is my test for you.

As for the benefits of the Great God’s Covenant, you try to fight for me, and the number of completed works should be as small as possible. I don’t want to hang myself on a tree, do you understand? "

"Don't worry, it's our literary agent's job to strive for more benefits for writers, so you can rest assured and wait for my good news!"

Although it was only a temporary agreement, Luo Wen knew that he had succeeded. If he didn't want to lose face in front of Li Chungang, he would probably have shed tears of excitement.

"Don't get excited, let me show you something first!"

After speaking, Li Chungang pressed the unlock button of the phone, and brought the re-lit phone screen to Luo Wen's eyes, so that the other party could clearly see the content of the text message.

Ten million, one hundred thousand, one million... more than 3.4 million royalties!

"The 5% share is more than 170,000 yuan. This is my first monthly draft fee. Unfortunately, you have already missed your first 5%..." Li Chungang paused for a moment before continuing:

"But you can win more 5% for yourself in the future!"
