Chen Mo had no clue about overseas publishing at the moment. Chen Mo searched through several publishing houses that contacted him and found that there seemed to be no ideal partner. He put this matter aside for the time being, after all, he was in no hurry.
Turning on the computer, Chen Mo logged into the website he had signed a contract with and updated "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
"The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has been updated for more than half a month now. Chen Mo updates 10,000 words every day. It now has nearly 200,000 words. The number of people who have collected this book has reached an unprecedented number of 100,000.
huge.
As early as the second day after Chen Mo released "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the website had already sent a signing text message. Chen Mo also accepted the website's signing suggestion and chose to sign a contract with the website. The website also gave Chen Mo a
recommended location.
Now, "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has occupied the first two weeks of novel clicks on this website, and will continue to do so. Now there are countless messages in the book review area every day, with various words of praise and various comments about it.
Discussion of the plot, various speculations.
Another roommate in the dormitory, Bai Xiaodi, is a loyal reader of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", but he is a special reader. Every time Chen Mo writes something, he will be the first to read it. Bai Xiaodi is also very disciplined.
I never ask Chen Mo for spoilers, I am only willing to follow the plot from the lines of the novel, and I also ask Chen Mo not to spoil anything.
…
Chen Mo was browsing the book review section of "Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" when the computer communication software rang. Chen Mo saw that he was the editor in charge of his "Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
The editor sent a message: "Are you there? Tomorrow your "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will be released and charging will begin. Get ready."
The operation method of this site is similar to that of a website in the world before Chen Mo traveled through time. Both are VIP-listed for reading, and charges will be charged when the number of free words reaches a certain level.
Chen Mo typed back: "No problem, I will just update the chapter normally."
The editor opposite sent an OK gesture.
The communication between Chen Mo and the editor has always been simple and direct. He has not talked about anything other than novels. It has only been half a month to make friends with the editor through communication software. Before Chen Mo released the novel "Myth", it was all
Without signing a contract with the website.
Chen Mo originally thought that the conversation between the two would end like this. Unexpectedly, the editor opposite sent a message:
"Ask a question, your pen name is 'cm', did you also publish a Harry Potter book under this pen name?"
Huh? Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that when he created his pen name, he conveniently typed cm. The capital abbreviation of his name was the same as the pen name used to publish "Harry Potter", but even so, there were only a few
I wonder why the editor asked this question.
Chen Mo replied: "Yes, both cm are mine. Is there any problem?"
The editor over there replied: "Great, it turns out it's really all you~ That's right, our website also has a number of physical publishing houses of its own, and I want to ask you about "Harry Potter"
, the website wants to cooperate with you.”
"Cooperation?" Chen Mo thought for a moment and asked, "Does the website have overseas publishing channels?"
Editor: "Overseas publishing channels? This is available. Our website is the largest original website in the country, and we have many physical channels."
Will it be obtained with no effort at all, or will it be another village with a bright future? Chen Mo didn't know and continued to ask:
"I still have the English version of "Harry Potter 1" in my hand, and I would like to seek overseas publishing and sales. Is the website interested?"
"Published overseas... Wait for me, I'll ask my superiors..." As soon as the message was sent to Chen Mo, there was no more movement. It seemed that he went to ask his superiors.
Chen Mo waited for a while before a message came from the communication software:
"still there?"
Chen Mo replied: "Yes."
A message was sent over there: "Overseas publishing is completely feasible." After sending this message, a bunch of information was sent. Chen Mo took a look and saw that they were all overseas publishing regulations, etc.
Chen Mo looked at it carefully, and after a while, he frowned and asked:
"The author can only get a maximum of %30 in share, right?"
The other side replied: "Yes, the maximum is %30, and the website bears all risks."
Chen Mo frowned. If the author could achieve 30%, it would be no less than 30%, but this was not within the scope of Chen Mo's imagination, so he sent another question:
“If there is no need to publish at public expense, what will be the conditions for self-publishing?”
Another piece of information was sent over there. Chen Mo looked at it and couldn't help but smile. If he publishes at his own expense, the two parties will change their positions. The author will get 70% and the website will get 30%. The website will be responsible for all publicity.
Promotion, operation and sales.
At that moment, Chen Mo sent a message: "I will consider giving you a reply."
After sending an OK gesture there, no more messages were sent.
Chen Mo hung up the communication software and tapped his fingers gently on the wooden table in turn. Thinking about the matter of overseas publishing and the information sent by the website, Chen Mo was still a little dissatisfied with the conditions offered by the website. Although this condition
It's already doing very well in the book world, but it still doesn't meet Chen Mo's expectations.
If you pay for yourself, you can only get 70% of the profit. Chen Mo is very sure that his "Harry" can also earn a lot of money overseas. The profit the publisher wants is too high. You know, Chen Mo cooperates with Hongye Media
When the single "Beautiful Myth" was released, the share between the two parties was also 37:3, Hongye Media was 3, Chen Mo was 7, and this was after Chen Mo produced his own work and Hongye Media paid all the expenses.
And compared with the book publishing in front of him... Even though it was like a mountain apart, Chen Mo still couldn't accept such conditions, so Chen Mo had already made a decision, refused to take sides, and looked for other publications.
Fingers kept tapping lightly, and Chen Mo kept thinking, what other way to publish? He has already used the support of the literary guild that new authors can use once, and he is no longer considered a member of the literary guild.
As a newcomer, there is no need to think about the help of the Literary Guild. Where else can I have publishing channels?
Chen Mo suddenly thought of Hongye Media. Hongye Media covers the entertainment, cultural and related industries around the world, including many large publishing houses.
But if this is the case, I might have to ask for help from Senior Sister Ye Siqiu...
Chen Mo suddenly clapped his head, what's wrong with him? This can be done step by step. Originally, he planned to do it slowly, but why did he become obsessed with it as soon as the station mentioned it, and he still had to solve this problem.
This matter is something that happens when you encounter it, and nothing happens when you don't encounter it. It can only be done step by step. Chen Mo suddenly woke up.
Forget it, don’t bother Senior Sister Ye Siqiu for now. Let’s go to the school literary club tomorrow to see if Capital Entertainment University also has publishing channels...
ps: Today’s second update, this is uploaded using a mobile phone, there is a problem with the laptop... The third update may be late, it may be postponed to tomorrow... Sorry -_-!
