Editor-in-Chief Lu Bei was planning to go to the conference room for a meeting when he suddenly saw the old bear running towards him panting like a heavy tank.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Bei hurriedly avoided.
Old Xiong gasped for breath while holding on to the door, and it took him a while to speak: "I just sent you Chu Kuang's new book, you must read it!"
"Chu Kuang's new book?"
Lu Bei's heart moved, and he nodded. Seeing that Lao Zhou was panting again, he didn't say much, and went directly to the conference room.
This is an internal meeting.
A certain leader was talking about a certain copywriting, but Lu Bei suddenly remembered what Lao Xiong said just now, so he simply took out his mobile phone and secretly clicked on the new Chu Kuang book he had just sent.
Lu Bei likes Chu Kuang very much.
The short story "Magi's Gift" written by Chu Kuang last time moved Lu Bei to such an extent that he even did not hesitate to put down his work during the Chinese New Year and go back to spend the Spring Festival with his family. Since then, Lu Bei has been following the development of Chu Kuang's works .
"Zhu Xian?"
The title of this novel is quite domineering, Lu Bei thought so, and began to read quietly. Anyway, this kind of high-level meeting is always stinky and long, and it is impossible to end without an hour.
Just be careful not to be discovered.
This is not the first time that Lu Bei has deserted in the meeting room, and he has never turned over, because he will not keep his head down to read novels, and occasionally pretend to listen to the meeting report seriously, nodding from time to time, and even typing a few times on the keyboard of the notebook in a serious manner , as if taking minutes of a meeting¡ª¡ª
In fact, all typing is garbled.
The kind that programmers dare not recognize.
But this time Lu Bei was careless. He didn't expect "Zhu Xian" to be so magical. He was completely engrossed after watching it for ten minutes. He even forgot to type the garbled characters pretending to be meeting minutes, and he didn't even hear someone calling him next to him. arrive:
"Chief editor?"
"Chief editor?"
In the end, the high-talking leader got anxious and slammed the table down, his voice very angry: "Lu Bei!"
"ah?"
Lu Bei just came back to his senses. He couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and reluctantly put down his phone. Most of the high-level people present were on the same level as him. If it wasn't for being angry, the other party wouldn't call him by his name.
The meeting continues.
Lu Bei felt uncomfortable.
He really wants to continue watching, because his mind is full of the plot of "Zhu Xian", and he can't help but look forward to the next development. He didn't listen to a word of what was discussed in this meeting, and just wanted to end the meeting quickly. Go back and continue reading.
"The meeting is over!"
Finally, the meeting is over.
Lu Bei hurried out of the conference room, took out his mobile phone and planned to call Lao Xiong, but found that Lao Xiong was waiting for him at the door, his tone was quite eager: "Should we mention Chu Kuang's contract? "
"How much was it before?"
"Seven percent."
"Ten percent mentioned."
Lu Bei said without hesitation. This is the price of many established best-selling authors. It is reasonable to say that Chu Kuang's reputation is almost meaningless for the time being, but Lu Bei is sure that the popularity of Chu Kuang's new book will definitely not be lower than the previous "Net King". ", even though he has only read a lot of content now.
"Understood."
Old Xiong was not surprised at all.
His first reaction after reading "Zhu Xian" was that this novel was about to become popular.
Old Xiong never thought that Xianxia novels could be written like this!
He was shocked!
This is also the reason why he rushed out of the meeting room like crazy before!
He had to come forward in person to greet various departments including the Propaganda Department and the Publishing Department, and he had to attract the attention of the editor-in-chief so that the editor-in-chief could understand how good the novel was.
"correct."
Just when Old Xiong was about to leave, Lu Bei suddenly got a little angry and said, "I asked you to get Chu Kuang's signature last time, why didn't you get it?"
The old bear froze.
He completely forgot about it, and he believed that the editor-in-chief had forgotten about it too, but the appearance of "Zhu Xian" reminded him of it
Lin Yuan naturally didn't know the reaction "Zhu Xian" caused in the editorial department, but when he was leaving school at night, he received a call from Yang Feng.
"Teacher Chu Kuang!"
Yang Feng clearly noticed that the tone of his conversation with Chu Kuang became more and more humble: "Your new writing is simply amazing.?The company is considering publishing the first volume of "Zhu Xian" next month, what do you think? "
It wasn't like this before.
If it was before, Yang Feng would probably say something like this: "Chu Kuang, congratulations, your novel has passed the review of our editorial department, and our company will arrange for the publication of this novel next month."
The meaning is the same.
It's just that the attitude is different.
Lin Yuan naturally couldn't hear the subtle changes in the other party's attitude.
He was as concise as ever: "It can be published, when will the contract be signed?"
"That's it!"
Yang Feng smiled and said: "The company has decided to increase the royalties of your novels to 10%, which is a very high price in the industry. May I ask what else you need us to do"
"very good!"
Lin Yuan subconsciously raised his voice.
Yang Feng was a little surprised. Didn't Chu Kuang not love money? Why did he look elated when he heard that royalties could increase the price?
Yes.
Money represents many meanings.
Probably what Mr. Chu Kuang cares about is not the increase in royalties at all, but the company's recognition of his writing ability and the sincerity expressed by the company through money!
Money has a price.
Sincerity is priceless.
Moreover, what he wrote this time is about the theme of Xianxia, ??and he must have suffered a certain amount of psychological pressure when writing it, so he naturally needed various forms of approval.
Think about it.
Yang Feng smiled and said: "It's good that you are satisfied, and I must inform you that the company will start the pre-sale promotion of "Zhu Xian" soon!"
"Um."
"That's it?"
"so be it."
Lin Yuan hung up the phone, feeling very good.
Lin Yuan is very satisfied with Yinlan Library who can always take the initiative to raise prices.
It seems that choosing to continue to cooperate with Yinlan Library is indeed a good decision.
The price should be raised in the future, right?
Go back and ask your sister what she said.
Sister Lin Xuan is an expert in the publishing industry, so she should understand it better.
Speaking of it, Lin Yuan also considered taking "Zhu Xian" to his sister's publishing house,
However, after Lin Yuan made some investigations, he found that the scale of his sister's publishing house was not large enough, and it was definitely not as good as Yinlan Bookstore in terms of making money, so Lin Yuan gave up.
Compared to making money for my sister, of course making money is more important.
As for the elder sister, it's a big deal to share some of the money I make with her.
In fact, her hard work to earn performance is also for higher wages, and Lin Yuan still understands this reason.
My sister must also like money more.
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money?
And it was the night when Lin Yuan and Yang Feng finished talking on the phone.
On the official website of Yinlan Bookstore, the news that the writer Chu Kuang will release a new book in July has finally been posted, which can be regarded as a warm-up mode for the promotion of the new book.
As soon as the news came out.
Chu Kuang's book fans are excited!
