Putting down his cell phone, Hu Shuo started writing a new story. This time he wanted to write the story of "Little Red Riding Hood". This story is also very famous. Almost everyone knows about Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma Wolf.
Grandma Wolf has become synonymous with disguise and deception in many situations.
Unconsciously, half of the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" has been written. At this time, Hu Shuo received another WeChat message.
Wutong: I'm here, where are you?
After seeing the message, Hu Shuo quickly raised his head and scanned around the store, only to see a woman wearing a Persian dress near the bar looking around with her mobile phone.
Seeing this, Hu Shuo stood up and walked over.
"Are you Wutong?"
"Are you Teacher Hu Zuozuo??"
The two looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
Hu Shuo never expected that Wutong, who was vigorous and resolute in his work, would be a woman, and she was also a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure.
Wutong, on the other hand, did not expect that the person who wrote works such as "Snow White" and "Cinderella" under the pen name Hu Zuozuo would be a man, and he would also be such a young and gentle man.
"My name is Hu Shuo, and Zuozuo is my daughter's nickname."
Hu Shuo explained with a smile.
"Oh, this is my business card."
Wutong took out a business card from his wallet and handed it to Hu Shuo.
Executive Vice President of China Literature Group
Chief Editor of Yuewen Story Network
Qiu Xiaobai
Hu Shuo was slightly surprised when he saw the title on the business card. Qiu Xiaobai looked to be in his mid-twenties, but he was already the executive vice president of Yuewen Group and the chief editor of Yuewen Story Network.
.
It is true that Hu Shuo had never heard of Yuewen Story Network, but he had heard of Yuewen Group. As the first company in the Chinese literary industry, it was successfully listed in Hong Kong the year before last. It is considered a giant enterprise in the domestic literary industry.
However, Yuewen Group started by doing online literature, taking into account the operation and development of film and television copyrights. It seems that they have not heard that they are engaged in children's literature. It is precisely for this reason that when Wutong mentioned Yuewen Story Network in WeChat
, Hu Shuo did not associate it with Yuewen Group at all, but now it seems that Yuewen Story Network should be a website owned by Yuewen Group.
"Mr. Qiu, hello."
Hu Shuo greeted politely: "Let's talk inside."
"Um."
Qiu Xiaobai nodded.
The two returned to where Hu Shuo had been and sat opposite each other.
"Writing a new story?"
Seeing that Hu Shuo's computer was on, Qiu Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Um."
Hu Shuo nodded: "An interesting little story."
"Like Snow White?"
"Not really." Hu Shuo shook his head.
"Actually, I'm quite surprised to see you. I always thought that someone who could write stories like "Snow White" and "Cinderella" would be a cute girl."
Qiu Xiaobai has a smile on her face. She wears light make-up, has big eyes, and has a nice smile. Strictly speaking, she shouldn't be the kind of beauty who is alluring the country, but she is very attractive and gives people a very comfortable look.
Feel.
"I didn't expect that the person who wrote "Snow White" was a rough guy, right?" Hu Shuo laughed at himself.
"It's indeed surprising." Qiu Xiaobai nodded: "However, you are not too rough, but you are quite in line with the temperament of a scholar."
"Actually, I didn't expect that the editor I was going to meet would be a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament." Hu Shuo replied with a smile.
Qiu Xiaobai also smiled: "Okay, this is the end of the business compliments."
"How much do you know about Yuewen Story Network?"
Qiu Xiaobai asked with a serious face.
"Almost zero." Hu Shuo answered truthfully.
"Then let me first introduce the situation of Yuewen Story Network." Qiu Xiaobai paused and said: "Our Yuewen Story Network is a children's literature website under the Yuewen Group. It was established in July last year and just last month.
The website’s first anniversary has passed, and the traffic of the website currently ranks fifth among all children’s literature websites, with more than one million paying readers. Although in the field of children’s literature websites, we at Yuewen Story Network can only be regarded as newcomers, however,
Relying on China Literature Group, we currently lack nothing but excellent authors and excellent content."
"Well, that's pretty much it. I don't like to overstate things or exaggerate."
Qiu Xiaobai ended her narrative.
"It's good to be realistic."
Hu Shuo nodded.
"I have read all four of your stories. Even I, an adult, are attracted by it. Therefore, I am very optimistic about you. Just now in WeChat, you mentioned your contract requirements and want to retain the full copyright of the work.
Right?"
Qiu Xiaobai asked again.
"Well, the copyright of the work must be retained. This is the prerequisite for signing the contract." Hu Shuo emphasized again.
"I would like to ask, do you have any plans for being so determined to retain all the copyrights of your works?" Qiu Xiaobai asked curiously.
"No comment on this." Hu Shuo spread his hands.
Qiu Xiaobai frowned slightly: "Okay then"
"I can agree to your conditions, but I also have conditions."
"Please tell me."
"Sign a five-year long-term contract with our website to publish no less than 100 stories. In addition, the physical books of these stories will be distributed by our China Literature Publishing Group."
Qiu Xiaobai stated her conditions.
"Are there no other conditions attached?" Hu Shuo asked.
"The electronic subscription income will be divided into 40% and 60% of the reward income, the website will get 40%, and you will get 60%," Qiu Xiaobai added.
"Shouldn't it be divided into 30-70?"
In fact, Hu Shuo could already accept the conditions proposed by Qiu Xiaobai, and he still wanted to fight for himself.
"If you retain the copyright, you can split it into 20 or 80." Qiu Xiaobai smiled softly: "But on the premise that you retain the copyright, it can only be 40 to 60!"
"Well"
"Oh well"
Hu Shuo also has a problem with dates and no dates. Since the other party disagrees, forget it. Anyway, the copyright is the big one. In the future, works such as "Snow White" and "Cinderella" will become well-known to the people.
Are you still worried about not making money?
"Agreed?"
"Um."
"When can I sign the contract?"
"at any time."
"Then wait for me."
Qiu Xiaobai said, got up and walked out of the coffee shop. After a while, he came back with a folder containing two blank signing contracts.
"This is the contract. Take a look at it. If it's OK, you can sign it now."
"Um."
Hu Shuo took the contract and read it carefully from beginning to end. After all, this was a five-year contract, so we couldn't be too hasty.
Fortunately, the contents of the contract are relatively normal, and there are no unequal treaties.
After confirmation, Hu Shuo signed the contract directly.
“Welcome to join the warm and harmonious family of China Literature Group and enjoy the cooperation.”
Seeing Hu Shuo finish signing, Qiu Xiaobai stretched out his hand with a smile.
“A pleasure to work with.”
Hu Shuo also stretched out his hand and shook Qiu Xiaobai's fingertips very gentlemanly to eliminate the suspicion of taking advantage of the situation.
