Although "Contemporary Literary World" is one of the three major literary journals, it is only a publication after all. Compared with real publishing houses, there is still a gap in distribution channels. The 31% royalty rate of Tang Dynasty Publishing House is different from that given by "Contemporary Literary World".
The 31% that came out are completely different in nature.
Li Qing thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Guo, since you are sincere, I have to give you face, but even if it is published in a book, let's discuss the serialization price."
As soon as he heard what Li Qing said, Guo Rui felt happy and said quickly: "You said, as long as I can afford it, I will definitely meet your request."
"One thousand and five," Li Qing said.
When Guo Rui heard this, he didn't even think about it and just said: "Deal!"
After Li Qing said this, he regretted it. He felt that his price was a bit low.
The three volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" are added together, which is 900,000 words, and one thousand words are 1,500. One word is 1.5 yuan, and the three volumes are added together, which is 1.35 million yuan.
You have worked so hard to write for so long, and you only earn so much?
Guo Rui noticed the look and immediately cried out: "Hey, my lord, do you think this price is too low? I swear on the name of our old Guo family, this is definitely the final price in my mind. I don't know about foreign countries."
How is the market? But in our mainland, in the entire market, you are the only one who can command the price of 1,500 words per thousand words."
Li Qing smiled. In fact, he didn't care about these three melons and two jujubes. In terms of literature, he was just pulling the strings, which could be regarded as a side job.
What's more, this is still a magazine serialization, not a publication.
Immediately, Guo Rui started calling people to sort out the contract. In this regard, Han Han was more professional. After the girl had read the contract and nodded, Li Qing took the contract and signed his name without even looking at it.
"Contemporary Literary Circle" is a bimonthly publication, and the contract stipulates that 50,000 words of manuscripts should be delivered every month, but Li Qing did it more neatly and handed Guo Rui the entire first volume of "The Three-Body Problem" in one go.
When Guo Rui saw the 200,000-word manuscript slowly arriving in his mailbox, he burst into tears with excitement. He immediately said, "Don't worry, I will help you promote this great work to all parts of the country, even if it means selling iron."
, I believe you will win the prize!"
Winning an award?
Li Qing didn't expect that much, so let's just take it one step at a time.
After settling the publishing direction of "The Three-Body Problem", Li Qing called Tie Xu again and asked about the preparation status of the record department.
"The General Administration of Publication made things difficult for us at first and refused to grant the distribution rights. I was so anxious that there were blisters on the corners of my mouth. Later, when Mr. Zhou found out about this, he personally took action. Within a few days, the batch number for the distribution rights was issued.
"
Tie Xu was amazed: "I just now know that our President Zhou has such great energy. She is actually a descendant of Zhou Lindong, a great writer during the Republic of China. Moreover, the old man of the Zhou family once served as a deputy ministerial leader of radio and television, although he is now retired.
, but the influence is still there..."
When Li Qing heard this, he was also speechless, and his impression of Zhou Shu became more intuitive.
Then he thought that Zhou Shu's daughter Huihui was his little fan, and he had promised Zhou Shu to take time to take a photo with Huihui, but he had forgotten about it during the recent busy period.
Li Qing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and planned to take time to visit Sister Su at her home in the next two days.
"As for the production factory, the construction has now been completed. Two days ago, Cao Ke, the general manager of Music Supermarket, contacted me specifically to ask if our company has any new albums by singers to be released in the New Year. Manager Cao seemed to be very eager to follow up.
Let’s have an in-depth cooperation.” Tie Xu said with a smile.
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately started to worry about it.
Now it is impossible for him to release a new album for a while, but Qin Hai, Wang Zhong, and Cai Li cannot delay at all.
Especially Qin Hai, as a popular singer, he has joined Hanhai for a year, but not many people know about it, so now is the time to push him out.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Qing said: "How about pushing the Wandering Band out to try the water?"
Tie Xu's eyes lit up. As Qin Hai's manager, he actually expected the Wandering Band to release a new album more than anyone else. He nodded calmly: "Han Hai is new to the industry, and the first album released is naturally focused on safety. Wang
Although Zhonghe Caili has good abilities, they have no fan base and there are too many unknown factors. In comparison, the Hesitation Band, which has been in the industry for many years and has a fan base, is more suitable for exposure at this time."
"Then let's do it." Li Qing said with a smile: "In addition to "Born to Wander" and "When I Think of You", I will write a new song for Brother Hai. As for the other songs, I need your help, Brother Xu.
Find a way."
Tie Xu was overjoyed: "No problem, I'll take care of it."
At present, the production of the new album of the Wandering Band was put on the agenda. When Qin Hai and others learned the news, they almost broke their guitars with joy because they were not in the capital. Several members of the Wandering Band, including Qin
Both Hai and Judu happily sent Li Qing a text message to thank him.
At that time, Li Qing and Han Han were driving to a large toy store to prepare for visiting the Zhou family.
"Huihui is only five or six years old, right? She's at kindergarten age. She should prefer the sweet little princess."
In the car, Han Han saw Li Qing's puzzled look, blinked his eyes, and explained: "It's just a doll or a stuffed animal."
"This is a good suggestion."
Li Qing thought the same thing. The two of them bought a few half-human dolls in a toy store and stuffed them into the trunk. Then they began to think about gifts for Zhou Shu and his family.
Zhou Shu got married after graduation, and the other party was said to be an associate professor at Beijing University. Since he was an intellectual, Li Qing thought it would be more appropriate to give him the Four Treasures of the Study.
When Han Han heard this, he laughed so much, "Qingzi, a university professor does not mean that he is an intellectual in your audio system. Forget about the four treasures of the study, let's buy some fruits. Gifts are less important than kindness... Oh, by the way, it seems like a coward.
I’m still a fan of yours. I was attracted by your poems in the first place. If you think it’s okay, give me a poem as a gift!”
As he said that, Han Han took out a pen and paper and looked at Li Qing with big eyes, full of expectation: "You tell me, I'll write."
Nowadays, a poem by Li Qing is highly valued in the literary world, especially in the calligraphy circle. Since the publication of Li Qing's poems such as "See or Not See", many calligraphy circles have written almost all of Li Qing's masterpieces. Unfortunately, Li Qing
Being in the entertainment industry, I have no time to take care of poetry creation, which is a pity for some people in the calligraphy industry.
When Li Qing heard this, he also felt that this could be done.
Dang Ji cleared his throat and began to search for inventory in his stomach, preparing to learn and sell now.
