After the party, Xiao Yulan took Miao Yueqing to the editor-in-chief's office. The editor-in-chief Hu Qingying and a lawyer from the Legal Department were accompanied by him.

The editor-in-chief's online name is Taiqingshan, and he is one of the founders of Qidian Literature Network. He is a veritable veteran in the company. He is a man in his thirties with a calm smile and a bright look with perseverance.

She also learned about the past life of this big name in advance. In the two years when Qidian Literature Network was just established, he dug up authors everywhere in other book stations to settle in Qidian. Due to poor performance, he once mortgaged his house in Binhai to the bank and applied for a loan to pay wages to employees.

Moreover, online online payment was not yet developed at that time, readers could only transfer fees to the company through post office remittance. He had to run between the post office and the bank every now and then stayed up late to work overtime at night, and transferred the corresponding amount of book coins into readers' accounts on the website against the long remittance list. The hardships are not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Now Qidian Literature Network has been in a state of great prosperity, gathering tens of millions of readers and a large number of high-level authors. Their performance is booming, and the status of this big name is naturally rising.

To be honest, Xiao Yulan still admires this person quite well. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and starting a business is difficult, and no one's success is achieved by chance.

After a few chats, both sides got to the point.

"...This is the terms of the agreement regarding physical book printing and publishing, as well as sales, as well as the preliminary physical book sample, you can take a look first."

Taiqingshan pushed the printed contract text to her and said, "If you have any different ideas, you can also put them out now, which is not unrelated."

Xiao Yulan took it over and flipped it out, and handed it over to Miao Yueqing for review. Of course, professional matters should be better if professionals need to be operated.

As for the sample of physical books, there are three types: simple version, hardcover version, collector's version, and collector's version. One type of printing design is more exquisite than the other, and the paper is better. Especially the collector's version, which uses double-sided high-gloss sprayed coated paper, just like that of high-quality fashion and luxury magazine, the cost is naturally not cheap.

As for the quantity, it is two million, one million and five hundred thousand respectively. The agreement has stated that printing can continue to be added if necessary in the future, and the quantity will not be capped.

The total number of words in "Buddha is the Tao" is about two million words, one volume of physical books is 200,000 to 300,000 words, and one set is eight books. According to the current price level of this world, the simple version is one book of 15 Huaxia coins, and one set is one hundred and twenty yuan.

According to the agreement, for each set sold, the original author Xiao Yulan can get 10% of the royalty income. If all the two million simple versions are sold, she can get 24 million. This is not considered a hardcover version or a collector's version.

Xiao Yulan thought about it and said hesitantly: "Will there be too many quantities? I feel that I can't sell it out."

Taiqingshan smiled and said, "Not much at all. If my guess is not wrong, maybe you have to print this book two or three times. As long as you are willing to keep writing it, your popularity will only increase."

"All right."

Xiao Yulan no longer said anything. She is indeed not very familiar with the market conditions of this world. According to her impression in her previous life, there are not many physical books sold by online masters. It is good to sell tens of thousands of books, hundreds of thousands of books, and not many sales of millions. Of course, there are exceptions, such as "Fighting Break the Sky", "Douluo Continent", "Divine Tomb", etc., and physical books are all very impressive.

Of course, there are many reasons. Stealing versions is an important factor. In addition, in the Internet era, the public is accustomed to reading books online, and only a few are willing to buy physical books to collect.

However, in this world, piracy has basically disappeared, and the social and economic prosperity is even better than in previous lives. Perhaps the situation in this regard will be better, right?

Hu Qingying pinched her hand and said enviously: "Lanlan, just ask when you start the live broadcast again, who would not give face to fans with some financial conditions? I think even if you have ten times more, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it!"

Xiao Yulan thought about it, and vaguely remembered that a star in his previous life made hundreds of millions of dollars by selling facial masks by opening live broadcasts. With his own conditions, it would not be more difficult to sell more books.

After Miao Yueqing and the lawyer finalized the details, Xiao Yulan signed the contract text and the matter was settled.

Then, Taiqingshan came up with another contract, which was an agreement to adapt the work into a comic, and also handed it over to a publishing company with a long-term cooperative relationship with Qidian Literature Network. There is nothing to say about this, and it will be signed and approved after the review is completed.

As for game and film and television adaptation, the investment is relatively expensive. It is unlikely that any company is willing to try it for the time being, unless Xiao Yulan's fame can continue to soar and grow into a first-tier star or even a queen. At that time, there will probably be many investors who are willing to spend a lot of money on her.

"Lanlan, since the Buddha is about to end, can you ask what you plan to write in this book? Do you have any ideas now?" Hu Qingying asked.

"Well, I'll send you the beginning of the concept and outline to your email address."

Xiao Yulan thought about it, the names of masterpieces such as Yang Shen, Perfect World, Eternal Life, and the Age of Light appeared in his mind one after another, but it still needs to be carefully considered which book to write.

When the main talk was over, Xiao Yulan couldn't help but ask again: "Based on the website's standards, how much subscribed data can you be considered a great master?"

Hu Qingying said: "According to the latest standards, 8,000 can be ordered, which can be classified as a fine book channel. If the order exceeds 30,000, it can be considered as a primary level of a great god. If the order is above 100,000, it can be considered a veteran god. If the order is above 300,000, it can be considered a platinum god."

"So high? It seems that I can only be considered as a novice village."

Xiao Yulan muttered, but now she understood the whole story. There is no pirated world, and if you want to read a book, you can only spend money to subscribe. Therefore, the authors' subscription data are generally better, at least much better than the world in their previous life. There are 3,000 subscriptions everywhere, which is no longer a proud achievement.

"Well, it takes time to accumulate popularity. You have written books for less than half a year. It is already an exaggeration to be able to achieve this level. By this time next year, you will probably have no problem becoming a platinum god. Even if you order more than one million, it is not a delusion!" Taiqingshan said with a positive tone.

Xiao Yulan felt a little moved. For some unknown reason, the development level of online literature in this world is only equivalent to that in the previous life around 2005. If in a few years, as the readers of online novels grow larger, I am afraid that the supreme gods with a million-level subscription level will become more and more common?

In other words, the number of online writers with revenue of over 100 million should appear more than a few years, and I will undoubtedly be one of them.
