genius editor

That night, Tian Tian still happily went to Kada for dinner, and wanted to talk to Dada about his writing direction. In the future, he will update the jokes and need to avoid some too deliberate pedantry.However, before he finished speaking, Koda said that there were some parts of the contract that were not very clear: "The royalties are 8 points, and the first printing is 15000. How much money can I get?"

Tian Tian gave him the calculation method: "Although the royalties don't look like a lot, selling books is a long-term process. I think you will have a big hit, and you can keep printing more; if the printing volume is large, you will get more money." That’s a lot of money too—plus 1 point for printing royalties.”

"What about other copyrights?" Dada's eyes were full of estimation. "What about the author?"

"Other copyrights are also included in the contract. This book is signed to our family, and we will help you act as an agent. After the sale, the [-]% will be divided. If the author makes an appointment... Do you want to sign Jingyu? Then I can help you plan Long-term writing plan!" Tian Tian said excitedly. "You can't write jokes for the rest of your life. You have to have a big IP that you can sell. What subjects are you interested in?"

Da Da smiled: "I'm just asking - who do you plan to do the cover and insert?"

"Do you have any favorite painters and designs? I'll make an appointment for you!"

"About a little more full-color ones. It won't be used in the book, but it can be used around the place." Da Keda ordered with a spoon.

"Hmm... that's fine." Tian Tian hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"What are you going to do around here?" Da Keda asked a new question like a strict examiner.

"Bookmarks, posters, postcards?"

"It's too ordinary. I want something special, different from others, and more eye-catching."

"……I try my best."

"Will there be supporting publicity? Book mad, radio drama, COS, or guest pictures, etc. I think that now that big books are published, there are a lot of these things, and the amount of forwarding is also very large, which can play a very good publicity effect. "

"This traditional publishing industry doesn't have it... But you can try it!" Tian Tian took out his notebook and began to record new marketing ideas.

The two of them ate from dinner to supper, but Da Ke still looked as immobile as a mountain, and finally patted his buttocks and left, saying that he had to take a closer look at the contract.Tian Tian began to suspect that he hadn't really moved him yet.

In fact, the traditional publishing industry is very different from personal zines and doujinshi markets. Authors do not have the right to speak in the production of books, let alone publicize and sell them. Therefore, Koda asked a lot of questions that seemed strange to Tian Tian.

As he said about design and illustrations, the book company has to check the cost and profit of each book, and the production cost will be very tight. Design, illustrations, peripherals, and promotional materials will not cost a lot of money, so there are few books on the market. There are physical books that can be as refined and powerful as a personal journal.But because this is Tian Tian's first project, Zhuang Mo gave him a large amount of start-up capital, so he is very generous and intends to spend money on Koda.He believes that other people can't be as sincere as he is.

But the company's money is the company's money, but your own money is your own.Tian Tian returned to the hotel, opened the wallet, and it was empty.

The business trip subsidy is only 300 yuan a day, and today he invited Koda to eat two meals, which cost more than 1000 yuan.He hasn't received his first month's salary yet, and he's still living on the money Zhuang Mo gave him.Thinking about the Ant Huabei who was so happy to go to Taobao on the night when he received 4277 yuan half a month ago, he really wanted to go back and strangle himself to death.

Tian Tian heartbrokenly counted Alipay, WeChat, and bank cards several times, and was sure that he was really poor now, so he had no choice but to open Ctrip and book a small guest house inside.

Early on Saturday morning, Tian Tian moved out of the express hotel with his big suitcase, walked two kilometers under the hot autumn tiger, and found the small hotel.It is nothing but cheap: the sound of watching TV next door is clearly audible, there is a strange smell in the kettle, I went to the bathroom to take a shower, but the shower room is too small to turn my butt, the bottle of shampoo is on the There was also a large piece of unknown disgusting solid... Tian Tian came out of the wash with goose bumps all over his body.

Koda took the initiative to contact him during the meal.Tian Tian came back to life full of blood, squeezed the subway to find him, and then watched him order food with heartache.Koda glibly put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Actually, there are other families who have contacted me. Memories, Magic Steel... and Hushan."

Seeing Tian Tian frowned, he continued, "Hushan opened 12 points of royalties."

Tian Tian was dubious: "Aren't they doing Weibo marketing? How do you sell books?"

Da Keda didn't speak, just looked at him thoughtfully, Tian Tian understood what he meant: "...Okay, I'll go back and ask our executive editor... But at 12 o'clock, this point is too high, we usually come first for new authors This book is for 6 points..." He felt a little wronged, and couldn't help but whisper.It also took him a long time to convince Brother Liehuo to increase his points to 8 points.But now he is in a hurry to sign the book, not daring to disappoint Koda.

"They also said they wanted to sign me and buy me vermicelli when the time comes."

Tian Tian chuckled: "What? Vermicelli? Why do you buy vermicelli? Do you want to stew pork?"

"It's Weibo's fan headlines."

Tian Tian stuck out his tongue with a blushing face.

"They are familiar with people on Weibo, and they give me three free fans every month, and they also promise to let various marketing accounts join forces to increase my followers." Da Ke rolled his eyes, observing Tian Tian's expression.

Tian Tian understands that Dada wants to continue to expand the influence of the self-media, and wants to ask how much support the company can give: "This...we have never done this kind of business...general authors will not do this, because fans are easy It can be seen that you have become an Internet celebrity marketing account. Although the number of fans will increase, the fan viscosity of the marketing account is not high, and they are not so sincere. There is still a difference between an Internet celebrity and an author, and few can take care of both. According to my In fact, the number of fans on Weibo is not necessarily directly proportional to the number of books sold." Tian Tian expressed his concerns, but seeing that Koda was a little impatient, he asked flatteringly, "Your How much do vermicelli cost now?"

"More than 1000."

Tian Tian trembled three times, that would cost more than 3000 a month, and if brother Lihuo didn't want to be reimbursed, he would have to pay for it himself—however, his monthly salary was only 4277!

Seeing that he was struggling to the death, Da Ke skipped the topic noncommittally: "Then, do you sign the full copyright or just the paper copyright?"

"It's full copyright." Tian Tian lay down on the table and showed him the additional terms.

"Does the full copyright only pay royalties for paper publication?" Da Ke asked many more questions than yesterday, and they were also much more detailed.Now he looks like a physical book author.

"It's like this. We only represent other copyrights for you. If it is sold, we will share it with you [-]-[-]; if it cannot be sold, of course there will be no income from this part."

"Then what have you sold before?"

Tian Tian reported the top works of light novels in the late serialization of several magazines: "All other copyrights are also discussed."

Koda just took this as bragging: "I remember your film and television adaptation project, the production and ratings were not very good."

"I don't think small jokes can sell film and television copyrights. You should not put too much hope in this part." Tian Tian said honestly, "I have never seen such an online drama."

"No one has written such a short story before," Dada said with confidence, "I am the first person to eat crabs."

"Yeah, I hope that the father of the funder is optimistic about this project and come to talk about it." Tian Tian tried his best to be gentle.

"Then will you accept advertisements for me? I'm short of money."

What can be achieved is directly beyond Tian Tian's imagination: "Well... I will work hard! If someone in your background is looking for you, you can ask him to contact me, and I will come forward to help you talk. But the frequency should not be too high, because the advertisement will Consume fans."

"There is no paid content on Weibo, and there is no way to monetize what I write, which is unreasonable. Advertising is just a necessity, and I write articles for money." Da Ke said frankly.

Tian Tian forced a smile: "Then you have already taken the first step? You will definitely get rich right away! Believe me! Let's make your first book a bestseller together!"

Da Da gave a hum, put down his chopsticks, and suddenly said that he wanted to sing karaoke. Tian Tian paid the bill with heartache, and went with him silently chanting "pay first, then gain", "first give, then gain" .When he arrived at KTV, Tian Tian realized that it wasn't just the two of them, the others seemed to be Koda's classmates, whom he didn't know very well, so he planned to leave in dismay.Koda kept him for a long time, and he was not willing to let him go back until he paid the money.

Tian Tian returned to the guest house, thought it was still wrong, and sent a confession letter with more than a thousand words to Koda, telling him that although he was very immature, he was motivated to grow up with him, and he would try his best to meet his requests.Koda returned a grinning expression, but Tian Tian made an appointment with him on Sunday, but he never replied, and the phone call was also unreachable.Tian Tian felt that he might still be sleeping, and the interception function was turned on on his phone, so he was a little anxious for a while.He thought that Koda would have lunch with him, but he skipped breakfast to save money, and was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.More importantly, he had to check out after 12 o'clock, otherwise it would cost tens of dollars an hour.He waited anxiously until noon, packed all his luggage with broken cans, checked out of the room, and then sat on the sofa in the lobby for an hour. He was really starving to death, and went to the restaurant next to the guest house to eat a bowl of clear soup with little water. Lanzhou Ramen.

Dada is not sleeping as he thought, he is very busy, hangs on QQ incognito, and is in contact with more than one book company.
