In the conference room, Zhang Yaocheng, deputy general manager of Shanhai Publishing House, and Lu Xi, general manager of Lu Chen Studio, jointly signed a publishing contract for the full-length martial arts novel "Swordsman".
Zhang Yaocheng shook hands with Lu Xi and Lu Chen with a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Please rest assured, Shanhai Publishing House will invest all resources to publicize and promote this novel, so that "The Swordsman" will be released at the end of the year
It became an instant hit in the book market!"
The book "Swordsman" has a total of 5 volumes with 1 million words. According to the publishing contract signed by both parties, 100,000 copies of the hardcover edition and 200,000 copies of the paperback edition will be printed for the first time, bringing the total number of first printing volumes to 1.5 million!
For a new work by a newcomer and a non-traditional best-selling novel, the first print run of "Swordsman" is undoubtedly too large. If it does not sell well, Shanhai Publishing House will suffer a huge loss.
As the leader of this publishing cooperation, Zhang Yaocheng also took considerable risks. To a certain extent, he was betting on his career future and reputation in the industry.
Of course, Zhang Yaocheng does not fight an uncertain battle. In addition to having confidence in the quality of the book, he also understands the popularity of "The Swordsman" on the Internet. In addition, Shanhai Publishing House and Lu Chen and Filia Chen
The studio strongly recommends it, but the real risk is actually not that big.
The two big names have more than 50 million fans combined on Inspur Blog. Even with additional discounts, the sales volume of 300,000 units is nothing.
Seriously, if under the leadership of Zhang Yaocheng, "The Swordsman" becomes an instant success and creates a new genre of best-sellers, then his reputation and status in the industry will be greatly improved.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Zhang."
"polite"
Zhang Yaocheng asked tentatively: "To be honest, I admire the author of "The Swordsman" very much. Someone who can write such a wonderful work must not be an ordinary person. Can you invite him over to have a meal with you?"
In this publishing contract, Lu Chen Studio signed the contract with the author's agent as the main body. The author himself did not appear, and Zhang Yaocheng did not find any information about "Remembering the Past and the Past" on the Internet.
This made him very curious and wanted to take this opportunity to get to know him.
We have become familiar with each other and become friends. If "The Swordsman" is really a hit, then it will be easy to negotiate for subsequent works. Although Lu Chen Studio is the author's sole agent, it must also consider the author's own preferences, right?
Zhang Yaocheng didn't mean anything else, it was just the professional experience of an old Jianghu person.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, and the latter smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, this author doesn't like socializing, and he has transferred all the copyrights to our studio, so"
"If there is a chance to get the author's consent in the future, then we can make arrangements."
While explaining, Lu Xi rolled his eyes at Lu Chen calmly. It was all a mysterious trick he was playing.
In fact, Lu Xi could also understand Lu Chen's concerns. He was already so good at writing songs and singing, and he was versatile in writing and starring. If he published a novel and became a real best-selling author, it would be speechless.
Sometimes Lu Xi couldn't imagine how many things were hidden in his brother's head. He had never seen so many talents in him before, and they suddenly burst out violently.
Being appropriately low-key is not a bad thing.
Zhang Yaocheng regretted: "That's such a pity."
He didn't think that Lu Xi was deliberately perfunctory and not allowing him to contact the author, because with the current strength and status of Lu Chen's studio, there was no need to play such a little trick.
Moreover, many talented writers do not like socializing and socializing. Often, only by devoting themselves wholeheartedly to writing can they create truly excellent and classic works.
After seeing off Zhang Yaocheng and the others, Lu Xi said to Lu Chen: "Xiaochu and the others are waiting in the video studio."
Lu Chen couldn't help but patted his head: "They are here too?"
Lu Xi smiled and said, "You are now a big shot in the industry, and your every move is being watched. So everyone came to visit you as soon as you came back. I think you need another assistant."
Lu Chen laughed dumbly, shook his head and said, "I'm going to the recording studio."
In the recording studio of the studio, Lu Chen met the three beautiful girls from msn again.
The MSN girl group under Flying Stone Records has now become one of the most popular girl groups in the domestic pop music scene. Its first album "Not Yet Lovers" has now achieved double platinum status. The number of fans on Inspur Blog
Over 10 million, announcements, commercial performances, and endorsements were all received.
Drinking water and remembering the source, Feishi Records has not forgotten the major contributors behind the popularity of msn. It has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Lu Chen Studio. They even outsourced part of the recording studio business to the studio, leaving the latter with no profit plan.
His shed actually made a lot of money.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Good cooperation is due to common interests. Last month, Fei Shi Records sent an invitation to Lu Chen Studio to produce three works, which were still tailor-made for MSN.
In the external publicity of Feishi Records and MSN's official blog, the contract amount was as high as 5 million, which definitely set a new record in the industry and left many people in the industry stunned.
But the problem is that the current external quotation for Lu Chen's songwriting is 1 million, but not everyone can get the work from him at this price, and only partners like Feishi Records can get it first-come-first-served.
"Brother Lu Chen!"
Seeing Lu Chen appear, Mu Xiaochu, who was chatting with Wang Hui and others in the listening room, quickly greeted him in surprise, his pretty face smiling like a flower, with joy coming from his heart.
Speaking of which, the two of them haven't seen each other for a while.
"Hello, Teacher Lu! Good morning, Teacher Lu!"
The other two members of msn, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian, also stood up and said hello respectfully.
The two of them have different honorifics for Lu Chen than Mu Xiaochu, because the latter has a better relationship with Lu Chen, and in both fan circles, fans have always treated Mu Xiaochu as Lu Chen's sister.
Among the three members of msn, Mu Xiaochu has the most fans. She has more personal fans on Inspur Blog than Su Jiajia and Ning Tian combined.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Hello."
Three beautiful girls surrounded Lu Chen like stars over the moon. Mu Xiaochu asked curiously: "Brother Lu Chen, is the Mongolian prairie fun? I have seen the photos that Sister Fei'er sent me. The scenery there is so beautiful.
Got it!"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's fun. I'll take you with me next time I have the chance."
Mu Xiaochu chuckled: "That's great, don't regret it!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to pull the hook?"
Su Jiajia and Ning Tian looked at each other and saw envy in each other's eyes. ——
