genius editor

A week later, Ali paid as promised, and Jingyu finally reversed the situation that was about to go bankrupt. With sufficient funds, he was ready to do a big job.Zhuang Mo closed the door and had a small meeting with Brother Liehuo and Tian Tian to arrange the work tasks for the recent period.

"Tian Tian, ​​go sign Weibo authors, sign as many as you can."

"I have already signed more than ten books!" Tian Tian said proudly.Ke Ran brought a wave of little sisters, all of whom were active on Weibo and wanted to publish a book in Jingyu.

"He's too busy." Brother Lie Huo disagreed.Everyone has limited time and energy, Tian Tian can sign more than a dozen books at a time, can he still make more than a dozen books at a time?

"Hire people if you're too busy. You don't think that Jingyu will always be just the three of us."

Tian Tian was extremely excited: "Recruit more beautiful girls, I don't have a date yet."

Zhuang Mo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll recruit you a team directly, as long as you give me 500 million yuan per month."

"No problem!" Tian Tian said, patting his chest.

Compared with Tian Tian's eagerness to try, the always passionate Brother Lie Huo is timid: "Signing so many books in one go means that we have to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in making books. This is really what we are doing now. What's urgent?"

In the past, the book section was just an auxiliary product of the magazine line. Now that the physical book industry is so sluggish, he always feels that this matter is a bit like sailing against the current.Da Da, as the first person to eat crabs, can reach the pre-sale of the first book exceeding [-]. Could it be that everyone else is so lucky?You know, Da Ke is currently the hottest Weibo author, and the others are not as good as him.

"Physical books are our traditional strong point. It's a pity to give up. Keeping this channel will make it easier for our own authors to publish books in the future. He signs it in one go, but the author won't finish it all in one go. Do it slowly, every month Maintaining a certain amount of money is also a business with relatively large turnover. And the recession does not mean that it will not bottom out.”

Zhuang Mo's territory includes the business of paper books. Sony has released an e-book, which is truly as light as paper and recyclable. If the price can be lowered, Amazon's Kindle will not be a rival.Behind the iteration of hardware products means the reshuffle of the entire e-book market, the physical channels are solid, and there is a foundation for turning into a platform.But he didn't mention these illusory things.

"The most important thing is that books are a very important step to cut into the economic sector of writers. Signing books is only part of it, and we mainly win their follow-up brokerage contracts. We have to operate the self-media accounts of these authors in all aspects. Make them popular, and three months later our platform will be launched, and they will be stationed in the station to serialize, and the drainage from Weibo to the website will be completed." Zhuang Mo explained the logic of this, and Brother Liehuo was finally convinced by him.

Zhuang Mo asked him to go back and think about the contracting model of Weibo authors, and look at the publishing contract with the legal counsel, and then consider how to support him after signing.Tian Tian has [-] ideas on how to market the author, Brother Liehuo also has some ideas about the content of the Weibo author, Zhuang Mo thinks this business is more important, and he will straighten out this line in a little time.

"The most important task for us now is to quickly hold a writers' conference and circle a wave of authors. The old authors of "New Painting", please contact them. Before the writers' conference, Tian Tian will make all the manuscript fee bills, and the copyright proceeds will be called to them .”

Brother Lie Huo is a little confused about how to divide the money: "Our film editions are sold in packages, 32 books are 1.7 million, so with so many authors, what standard should we distribute?"

"Xuanyuan's single copy is 9000 million. This price was set by Ali, which is more reasonable; Bai Shangshang gave her 2000 million. This wave of drainage is mainly due to her credit, and she cannot be wronged; "Floating Dream Talk" and "Spring Come Drunk" each 1000 million, for an established author, this is the price in the market; for other authors, you can just pay.”

Brother Raging Fire: "!"

Tian Tian: "What do you mean by looking at it?! You can still look at something worth a million dollars?!"

Zhuang Mo said: "They couldn't sell all of them in the first place. If they can be tied up, Amitabha will be sold. Don't worry about how much money you have."

Tian Tian: "..."

Brother Lihuo: "Then I will give it according to the list estimated by the copyright."

"Remember to avoid tax legally, there is no need to offend the author about money." Zhuang Mo told Tian Tian, ​​"Learn from finance."

Tian Tian stuck out his tongue: "Oh."

Zhuang Mohui was halfway through, and Station F called him.In the past few days, he accompanied Xu Jingzhi to meet most of the film and television circles, and every time he talked about it, he would push "The New Tenant" to the other party, saying that he was acting as an agent for a friend.It was inconvenient for him to come forward before, but now that Xu Jingzhi's works are covering him, everyone thought that he had jumped to Liancheng to engage in film and television, and he was no longer in the same circle as his former colleagues, so he could help Ren Mingqing promote copyright in private.He promised Ren Mingqing to make a move, no matter how busy he was, he always kept this matter in mind.

Several companies are very interested, but either they are not strong enough, or they are second-hand dealers.What he pays more attention to is the animation adaptation of Station F.Compared with film and television, animation adaptations have lower requirements for length and wider themes.He asked his former subordinate to come to the WeChat account of Keen, the person in charge of the Copyright Department of Station F, and threw the article over. After a few days of urging, the other party finally gave the review results.

The Copyright Purchasing Department of Station F gave the text an S-level evaluation: "His core setting is a cyclical stalk, and the whole article is connected in series with four parallel clues. The plot is very logical, which is different from ordinary linear stories. As a Galgame game script. In addition, this kind of story format is similar to the dynamic comics at the anniversary festival last year. If the film and television are animated, the audience must click multiple times to collect all four endings, and control the drop rate of each ending in the background. The number of clicks will be 4-10 times that of ordinary anime."

"But," Keen reluctantly added a but on the phone, "...the text is completely fine, the problem lies with the author. He is a pure newcomer, and this article has not been published anywhere, and the data cannot be found. So our side can only pay up to 20 yuan. 20 yuan buys out the entire copyright, Mr. Zhuang, think about it."

He had never dealt with Zhuang Mo before, and he didn't know who he was at all. He only thought that he was an ordinary copy editor, and felt that the price was enough.

Zhuang Mo laughed angrily.Famous authors can sell high prices for anything they write randomly, but really good works are received coldly because the author is a newcomer.In his view, the author should rely on the works to speak, and producing top-level works should be top-level treatment.But this is not realistic in the era of big data.

"You want data? We have the data, and it will be given to you in three days. Then you can publish another version of the evaluation."

Keen was full of question marks, thinking that this kind of operation could still be done.

Zhuang Mo hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, and smoked in the office.Lie Huo didn't dare to speak when he saw him smoking, but Tian Tian was more courageous and asked him curiously: "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Mo said vaguely that it was about cleaning up ashes.

"He wants to sell the copyright?" Tian Tian thought for a while, "Is it "The New Tenant"?"

"Ah."

"How much is coming out from the opposite side?"

"20."

"Sell it!" Tian Tian slapped his thigh, "Hurry up and sell it! The short story can sell for 20 yuan, why not sell it!"

Zhuang Mo glanced at him coldly.

The author's first copyright is his facade.This circle is very small, although the copyright transaction price has signed a confidentiality clause, but everyone can't hide their bragging at the dinner table.How much your first copyright can sell means what kind of author you are, and all subsequent copyrights will use the first book as a reference.

Ren Mingqing is his man, a god-level author in the future, he can't start with this price, he is more honorable than everyone else.

Brother Liehuo couldn't help but speak up for Tian Tian: "For an ordinary author, 20 yuan for a short story is very high."

He knew the market conditions, and ordinary authors who had no one to mediate could not even sell a novel at this price.The cheapest one he handled, with more than 40 words and 8 yuan, is still a lucky one that can be cashed in.

Zhuang Mo stood up, put his trouser pockets, and looked at the city outside the window: "The main reason is that I have nothing to talk to him about right now."

For the same article, the prices of different levels of editors will vary greatly. Once it enters the capital level, it is not the author's ability, but the editor's ability.The trouble this time is that Zhuang Mo can't go around to swipe his face. If he uses his real identity to make a move, station F will definitely not be able to give such a price.Even though Ren Mingqing is a newcomer, Shen Congxin's status is big enough. When Shen Congxin endorses Ren Mingqing, people in the circle will buy him this account.Why?Because Shen Congxin has fucked Red Dot Platinum, Tan Si, and Xuanyuan, everyone believes in his vision of seeing the content.Even if he loses his identity and status as the president of Guanwen now, his vision is still here. After all, what editors look at is strength, not anything else.

It's just that he is not Shen Congxin now, but the little-known Zhuang Mo. Why should Ren Mingqing talk to the little-known Zhuang Mo?He has to give him a reason.

"What?" Liehuo couldn't understand what he meant.

"There is a two-way choice between the author and the editor. He has already proved his strength. If I can't prove that I am worthy of him, why should he follow me?" Zhuang Mo murmured in a low voice with a disturbed expression on his face. I definitely want to sign him, I don't have much time left..."

Tian Tian, ​​Lie Huo: "..."

The two said in unison: "We ordinary editors don't understand the world of your dead gays."

Slam the door and leave.
