Chapter 70
"Although Shui Changdong is an online novel, the copyrights we can develop will be much more than "Lu Qing's Survival Diary". For example, animation and games have excellent influence and rich income."
Fantasy and fairy tale works are definitely more difficult in film and television than urban workplace novels, and at least require more investment.
Modern urban dramas do not need special effects, they only need to work hard on actors and costumes, and the investment cost is low.
There is another greater benefit of "The End of Life and the Water of the Water" that is that it holds the thighs of Lieyan Film.
As long as there is any news in "Yang Jian", it can also gain popularity and attention.
"My idea is to transform into a physical writer after writing "The End of Life and the Snow of the Waters" and become a physical book writer. What do you think?"
"This may not be very wise." Chen Xu took a sip of water and said mercilessly.
"Why?"
Qin Chuan's salted fish gene is affecting his thinking, and countless cells are shouting in unison to rest and be lazy!
Chen Xu pointed to the paper with the treatment of a publishing company: "You have only proved your strength in the field of online novels. The physical books have not been published yet. Why should you rush to cross the border? No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for the physical books to be launched for a while before you talk about them. If you are too anxious, you will only be separated from the readers."
"The End of Life and Suffering Waters" finally made Qin Chuan gain a foothold in the online literature industry, and leaving directly is a waste of resources.
If both sides are not pleased, the outcome will be very miserable.
Transformation is about natural outcomes, rather than deliberately trying to make ends meet.
Qin Chuan kept this suggestion in his mind and could not be blinded by victory. He looked at the paper with the name of the publishing company, "Then which publishing companies did you contact me?"
"You are really a hot commodity now. After I said I was your agent, these companies gave me face. I did a simple screening and left these five companies. Look at which ones you prefer. I will go and talk to them in detail after confirming."
Today, Chen Xu kept opening his screen like a courtship male peacock. He had to recommend himself in a limited time, showing his work ability and connections.
Not everyone can contact so many publishing companies in a short time and get generous conditions!
There is a familiar company on the list.
The first open-book publishing company that contacted me actually gave a 12% royalty, but their first prints were only 300,000 copies, and the printing was relatively conservative.
The highest number of first prints given is Tianqin Company. They promised to give 500,000 yuan in first prints, but the royalty is only 10%.
For new writers, it is great to have a 5% royalty.
Most companies are unwilling to give royalties to newcomers.
In comparison, 10% is actually not low!
In Qin Chuan's view, the two percentage points look very small at first glance. If the unit in front is multiplied by millions or tens of millions, these two points will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The number of first prints is already high for newcomers, but in Shen Xu's opinion, it is slightly lower.
These publishing companies believe that the physical book "The End of Life and the Water of the East" will have a relatively low sales in the first year, and the sales will not soar until the movie "Yang Jian" begins to be promoted.
Therefore, I don’t want to be too high in the first seal, so I can avoid having to place it in the warehouse.
"I personally recommend that you choose to open the book. They have changed to a new boss, which looks easy to negotiate. I can increase the royalty by a percentage point, and the number of first prints may reach 500,000 copies!"
Qin Chuan seriously suspected that Chen Xu had actually talked about 13%, but in order to show his subsequent negotiation strength in front of him, he deliberately said less than 1% when reporting.
"I'll go back and learn about your Walker Culture and sign an agency agreement. How is the agency fee calculated?"
"The company will extract 10% of the relevant revenue, which is the industry rule. 2% of them are my commission and 8% of the company."
Anyway, Huayue needs 10% if it doesn’t do anything, and the fees for Xingzhe Culture to do all the agency fees are the same.
Qin Chuan felt that signing such a literary agency agreement is still very cost-effective. At least he didn’t have to be a bad person. He could make an agreement with Huayue after the book was released, and only signed the e-reading rights, and the remaining copyrights would be free of charge without giving them to Huayue!
This is what most masters, senior authors and best-selling authors do.
It just treats Huayue as a channel for many platforms and will not be bound to it.
When the author talks with Huayue himself, he is usually unwilling to break up.
But literary agents, that is, agents, will not have any worries about this, and they are going to be evil people themselves.
After lunch, Qin Chuan put the papers in his arms and put them in his arms, while Chen Xu returned to the company to prepare various contract templates.
The two of them had a very consistent aura after meeting.
As long as there is no accident, he will join the Walker Culture Family!
Sitting in front of the computer, Qin Chuan kept thinking about what he wanted to write about this book, but now he had no idea.
The only thing I know is to form a misaligned familiarity with the book in front of me.
If you transform too hard, you will shudder.
"Oh, otherwise you can choose a few titles and outlines for readers to vote. The one with the highest votes will be the newcomer. I wonder if this is considered interactive writing."
He laughed at the subscription numbers on the display.
At present, "The End of Sorrow in Life" is full of momentum, with the orders exceeding 80,000 and moving towards 100,000.
Now it’s just mid-month, the number of monthly tickets has reached more than 29,000, which has narrowed the gap with the newcomer king!
If you are on the monthly ticket list, bad books can become excellent, let alone such alternative works.
Readers from other novel websites even heard of the name of this novel, and came to Huayue in a curious way to create a legendary masterpiece that tortures thousands of netizens.
It's rare that some colleagues all started on Qianlong Forum, betting on when his novel will collapse.
Many people chose to go on the shelves.
Many new authors write books based on their hobbies, and they publish them in a hurry at the beginning. When they have the passion for writing, they can update for three years for a long time.
But once the passion fades and you can't find the feeling of writing, you may write worse and worse, and even lose the eunuch in the middle.
After writing a manga article like "The End of Sorrow in Life" for a month or two, it is easy to become boring.
Unexpectedly, it still maintains a super high level!
There is no quality reduction at all because of the launch of the shelves.
After so many days of continuous outbreaks, the novel is still extremely attractive, and the follow-up is getting higher and higher!
This also made netizens on Qianlong Forum firm a fact.
Qin Chuan is definitely not a newcomer, he must be some old fucking man wearing a vest!
Senior authors finally made the author's account famous and would hardly give up this account to open a new account.
This book continues to accelerate on the highway of results, and the increase is enough to make the editor Xu Qiang look at it frequently!
Exceeding imagination!
Chapter completed!
