Scourge the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 26 Signing the contract ((recommendation and collection)

Wang Dong's Sunshine Publishing House can rank among the top few publishing houses in Liao Province. It looks good, but there are so many provinces in the country, and he is not the largest publishing house in Liao Province.

A publishing house must have good authors and good works. The most important thing is to have a sales channel. The book is printed, and there must be a place to sell it! .

For example, it is impossible for a bookstore to sell all the books in the world. That is unrealistic!

Therefore, in addition to those books that sell well, the common sense and rigid regulations must be sold in bookstores. What books to sell depends on the relationship between the publishing house and the bookstore.

Wang Dong is in Liao Province and even the three northeastern provinces, and he can have a relationship with those book sellers, but there are a few who know him outside the three northeastern provinces!

So now Wang Dong's career has encountered a bottleneck, which is why the boss of one of his publishing houses put down his body and even "flattered" to please God.

For nearly a month, it can now be said that the Three Kingdoms are well known across the country, and I have never heard of Xie Tian's program and heard this name.

As long as you have eyes, you can know that the Three Kingdoms will definitely be able to sell for money. If he could get Xie Tian's authorization to publish the Three Kingdoms, he wouldn't go to the dealer, but the dealer would come to him.

With one cooperation, will the second time be far behind? So the Three Kingdoms is a stepping stone for him to enter the country. He is confident to use this opportunity to establish a nationwide sales network.

......

Xie Tian finished his meal awkwardly, but Xiao Wang stopped eating as soon as he put the chopsticks down.

Xie Tian looked at it and sighed: "Brother Wang, it's over."

"Well, I'm full." After saying that, he looked at Xie Tian with bright eyes.

"Pop" Xie Tian lit a cigarette, took a breath and said: 'After eating, Brother Wang, let's get down to business. "

Xiao Wang was waiting for this, Xie Tian looked at Old Wang and said, "Brother Wang, please tell me about your conditions first."

Xie Tian's words are very particular, after all, what Lao Wang mentioned to him is about this matter, and the other party is still Lao Wang's son. If he wants to open his mouth to state the conditions, then the final plan will not be suitable for more or less. It's easy to embarrass all three of them.

Xiao Wang first said that no matter whether the conditions are suitable or not, there is room for relaxation. Even if the contract cannot be signed, it will not hurt the feelings.

Xiao Wang glanced at Xie Tian in amazement. He didn't expect this teacher Xie to be so careless at such a young age.

Now the opportunity is given to myself, it is up to me to grasp it. Xiao Wang said the conditions that he had planned for a long time: "I also know the basic requirements of Teacher Xie, so I agree with the model of royalty tiering."

"10% of the final retail price is divided into royalties, and the basic manuscript fee will be paid in a one-time payment of 2 million yuan in the name of the signature fee."

The conditions given by Wang Dong are already the highest standards in the publishing industry. According to the author's popularity and work quality, the tiered range of royalties is 3%-10%. And Wang Dong's 10% is the stratification of the final retail price, that is to say, the difference between the final sales price and the ex-factory price of the middleman and the retailer, the royalties generated are all paid by Wang Dong, plus various costs, Overall, Wang Dong might not earn more than Xie Tian.

Therefore, this condition is really full of sincerity. Xie Tian, ​​who had already inquired about it, was stunned. He didn't expect him to give such a high condition, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Dong was overjoyed, and immediately took out a contract in his bag and handed it to Xie Tian, ​​"Then let's sign the contract, Mr. Xie!"

You are too anxious, Xie Tian shook his head with a smile and said: "Buyer, seller, after the price is negotiated, you have to check the goods."

"You signed the contract without seeing the book, don't be afraid that I'm not good at writing it!"

Hearing this, Wang Dong's heart sank suddenly, and he turned to look at his father, who was also confused and said he hadn't seen it before.

The story of the Three Kingdoms is good and popular, but it was all spoken by Xie Tian in the form of storytelling. Telling a story and putting it together in words are almost two different things.

But he was rushing to sign a contract just now. If he read the manuscript after hearing this, it would be too petty, and he would not take Teacher Xie seriously.

Doing this can get you yellow!

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say falsely, "It's okay, what a literary character like Teacher Xie can write can't be worse."

Old Wang patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if Teacher Xie can bring it up to show that he is a real gentleman, don't pretend. Teacher Xie is not the kind of person you think, so don't care about it."

After speaking, he turned to Xie Tian and said, "Teacher Xie's manuscript is in..."

Xie Tianshi, who is both literary and a true gentleman, was very happy to be held by the father and son. Hearing this, he smiled.

"Take it with you." After saying that, he took off a USB flash drive from the keychain. Then he said, "Let's go back to the radio, you have a computer in your office."

"No, I have a computer with me." Xiao Wang said and took out a laptop under the table.

Thank you for a smile, you are prepared, and then you are stunned.

Just now, I asked this man to give a routine...?

Xiao Wang took over the USB flash drive with a smile and didn't dare to look at it. Thank God, he opened the USB flash drive and opened the document. When he saw the romance of the Three Kingdoms, the father and son of the Wang family were shocked and looked at each other in shock.

Is this old vernacular?

I was also thinking about how his writing style was, and everyone wrote novels in the ancient vernacular style.

This teacher Xie is too arrogant.

As they continued to read, the father and son found that Teacher Xie was indeed a bullshit. Putting aside the ancient vernacular style, now when the author is writing novels about ancient stories, even if he tries to avoid it, he will still appear when describing metaphors. Modern phenomena, events, things, knowledge, and ideas are used for comparison.

But after reading Teacher Xie's book for a while, there is no trace of modernity at all, as if it was written by an ancient person.

And the Three Kingdoms should be written like this, and the Three Kingdoms should be like this.

In addition, Teacher Xie's book is only four words, concise and comprehensive, and I don't want to have a long story like the current novel.

Take the example of Second Master Guan slaughtering Huaxiong with warm wine. The book only says that after Second Master went out, there was a drumbeat, and then he came in with Hua Xiong's head.

This has to be left to modern authors. These two people are sorry for their hard typing hands if they don’t type a few chapters and so many words.

After looking at a few pictures, Xiao Wang gave Xie Tian a look in admiration. He deserved to be called a teacher. This person is too **** good.

But he has some worries now, that is, whether people can accept the style of ancient vernacular, if they don't accept this book, they will lose their hands.

As if seeing his doubts, Xie Tian said, "There is a Mandarin version in another folder."

Xiao Wang Yile, are you so considerate and thoughtful? One-stop service.

He clicked on the vernacular version, and Xie Tian asked, "I've already told the story of the Three Kingdoms on the radio. Why do people buy books to read?"

"Because I like it," Xiao Wang said without thinking.

"why do you like it."

Of course, it's the story of the Three Kingdoms, ah, before the words were spoken, a light flashed in Xiao Wang Ding's mind, and the whole person was fixed there.

Why do you like it? It's a feeling. It is every man's dream to cross the battlefield and calm down the troubled world. Therefore, the Three Kingdoms is a kind of feeling of a man.

And the ancient vernacular version is more suitable for this kind of feeling.

Xiao Wang immediately decided to print two versions, the ancient vernacular and the mandarin vernacular.

The average newcomer's first print is still 510,000 sets, and well-known writers can have 100,200 sets.

But none of them are distributed nationwide, and the Three Kingdoms are to be distributed and sold nationwide. Adding in the popularity of household names, it can only be said that it is a very stable number.

Xie Tian didn't say anything. After all, it's the Internet age. Who knows if there are still so many people reading physical books, what if he asks Duoyin to go bankrupt for Lao Wang's son.

It's not that you can only print it once, it's enough to add more.

Xie Tian officially signed the contract, and Xiao Wang immediately transferred the signing fee of 2 million to Xie Tian.

The two shook hands with Xiao Wang and said, "Mr. Xie, the Three Kingdoms will probably be sold nationwide in half a month, that is, on September 10. Maybe later, Teacher Xie will need to do some publicity."

"No problem at that time, the radio also ended, I should be fine." Xie Tian happened to be on the radio on August 1st, and there were only 20 episodes left in the Three Kingdoms.

After speaking, Xie Tian asked curiously: "2 million sets of books, from the approval process to the production and printing, half a month is enough?"

"Approval is easy to handle. As for production, if one printing factory is not enough, just find a few more, and give them more money to speed up the process."

After finishing his collar, he said proudly: 'Money can't buy time, but it can buy speed. "

This little Wang is also a billionaire anyway, and at this moment, the breath of a rich man is unreasonable and straight on Xie Tian's face.

It smoked him.

Smoked...strangely envious.

......

In the evening, after Xie Tian sent away Prime Minister Zhuge again, the incarnation of the eternal wisdom, he went home happily.

Why are you so happy?

Made money! 2 million who are not happy.

As I said before, Xie Tian is not a greedy person, but he doesn't hate money either. Whoever earns 2 million will cry and scold in the street, this is not crazy!

When I got home, I was so thankful that I shouted when I entered the house.

"dad!"

"Mother!"

"..."

"..."

"Hey!"

"We're just sitting here, look, we won't fly in the sky, bow our heads!" Xie father and mother sat on the sofa and looked at Xie Tian who was walking back and forth with his neck raised as if he was insane.

Xie Tian smiled stupidly: "Sit here, I didn't see it."

"You can't see the two big living people in this hut. When was my son blind!" Xie mother raised her eyelids.

"The house is small, let's change it to a bigger one." Xie Tian's aura of a nouveau riche burst out, UU reading www. uukanshu. com stunned Xie's father and Xie's mother for a moment, and then Xie Tian handed Xie's mother a bank card.

Mother Xie: "How much money is here, I can make you crazy like this!"

"Two million."

"Look at your worthless appearance, and you're just like 2 million." When Mother Xie reacted, her voice suddenly rose and screamed.

"How many!?"

"Two million."

"The radio station has raised your money again, can't you?" Mother Xie asked in disbelief, thinking it was the radio station's salary.

Thank you for telling me about the publication of the Three Kingdoms.

Now Father Xie is even happier than hearing about 2 million just now. This is about to publish a book. Who are the people who published the book?

Cultural man!

The happy father Xie walked around in circles on the ground, constantly counting on his hands, as if he had to pick a day to worship his ancestors.

After a while, Father Xie said to himself with a smile on his face: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and all families can get together on the day of family reunion!"

Yes, this old man is going to show off to his relatives!

Mother Xie also smiled happily, and after a while, she handed the bank card to Xie Tian.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xie Tian asked.

"Keep it for yourself, we don't need yours if we have money, so I finally earn some money and keep it for myself." How can a parent covet their children's money, Xie's mother used to say that.

"What do I spend? I eat in the cafeteria every day and have nowhere to spend." Xie Tian pushed the card back into Xie's mother's hand and said, "Mom, keep it, let's change the house, buy whatever you want. "

The son has grown up, and Mother Xie's eyes are a little wet, and she patted the back of Xie Tian's head.

"Silly son!"

......

I have to go out in a hurry, the next chapter is in the afternoon
