Ding Wei didn't know that editor Guo Mu would eat this bowl of rice until she was old.
She is so busy now that she has not been in or out with Bai Shanshan and Chen Siyu for a long time.
Sometimes Ding Wei even wonders whether she worked so hard in her senior year of high school?
But she didn't care about the business at hand, but Wang Qinghe did receive a publishing support plan from editor Guo Mu.
Online novels are published nowadays, but not too many.
Ke Guomu feels that in this era when hundreds of flowers are blooming, the publishing industry is in a great situation, and he has so many years of experience. If he recommends those who have been there, no matter how much or how little the money is, the publisher will definitely be able to select some of them.
But the problem lies in this "more money but less money".
Broadly speaking, this is the first batch of publishing plan list of Dreamweaver Literature Network. If the price is too low, it will not be conducive to the positioning of the website and the improvement of its reputation in the future.
From a practical point of view, if the price is not high, the author will get less money, the website will get less money, and she, the editor-in-chief who gets commission, will definitely have less bonuses.
Therefore, in this publishing support plan, Guomu specifically asked the website to have a thorough discussion with the authors first.
Don't make empty promises, but let the authors be careful.
Try not to promise the copyright to others in vain, or sign any contract randomly.
After all, there are not many people who directly go beyond the magazine to persuade the author to sign a contract, especially when the copyright of the website is still in the hands of the author. At this time, you must pay attention.
Once someone relents and sells the copyright at a very low price, the publisher can use this as an example to lower the price of other authors.
At the same time, if other authors have good income, then the author who originally signed the contract may also be angry with the website.
In short, you can sign the contract yourself, but you must not get carried away by the immediate benefits.
…
What Guomu is thinking about is how to raise the price.
Serial magazine publishing has a certain reader base and basically has the spending power.
But when online novels are published, although there is a fan base, the spending power is different.
To use a saying in the rice circle, the monetization flow carried by the two is different.
Therefore, Fruitwood recommends:
"Although I have already submitted the list, I suggest that the promotion of the website should not stop. When the contract is about to be implemented, the more popular the book is, the higher the price will be."
Wang Qinghe looked at the list in his hand. Although he was proud that his own work was included in it, he was still a little puzzled:
"The books "The Power of Rebirth" and "The Sword of Time Travel Roar Nine Heavens" are both famous on the bestseller list, but on your list, it seems that some books with mediocre results are listed at the top.
Are these two books still at the bottom of the list?"
"Yes." Guomu nodded.
"In fact, the publishing houses we cooperate with focus on a variety of works, but in today's market, novel publishing is more inclined to novels whose writing, plot and settings complement each other."
She said it simply, but Wang Qinghe had automatically understood the key points of her words. In short, the two books he just mentioned were too basic.
…
Being a novice is not a problem.
Aren't the novels that have been popular on campus recently, such as "Long Riyi, You're Dead", "That Boy is So Handsome", "A Sparrow Turns into a Princess", etc. not simple and straightforward enough?
This brings up another issue.
A simple love entanglement, another involving society and family and the theme of revenge...
The two books Wang Qinghe mentioned just now are one about rebirth and one about time travel. In one, a girl is reborn and slaps a scumbag in the face, leaving his family bankrupt and impoverished. In the other, the male protagonist is reborn and destroys all his enemies...
It looks superb, feels very refreshing, and can arouse readers' emotions very much.
But, it's not worth watching a second time.
Moreover, the ideas expressed in this novel are not in line with the golden mean of a great country.
So what...just complaining directly, everyone just understands it!
Written out naked, this is a bit inconsistent with socialist values.
In short, there are probably so many aspects of thought.
"Of course," Guomu also smiled: "But this is not impossible. The publishers over there like this kind of novel very much. If they are made into booklets or comics and sold, they will be very popular, but the price they give is average.
not tall."
After all, the largest market is in the mainland, and many readers in the mainland are not used to traditional Chinese characters.
But the novel on the website has been officially launched for a month, and now that there is such a plan, Wang Qinghe is already very excited and has made a list of 123 promotional items in his mind.
On the one hand, it wants to win the hearts of authors, on the other hand, it also wants to attract more readers and authors.
At this time, regardless of the price, as long as it can be published, the authors will be happy.
He nodded:
"Okay, this is your expertise, so I won't say anything more."
Guomu laughed and looked at this young and incompetent young man. He thought that when Ding Wei recruits talents, he must look at his face first.
…
When Guomu returned to the workplace, everyone had not yet gotten off work. They were an old magazine, and they were constantly expanding and upgrading, and they gradually formed such a company.
Nowadays, everyone is not like those foreign companies today, with clearly defined work stations and strict management.
Instead, a few people gathered together in an office, with some magazines piled randomly on the table, and a computer in front of each person.
Everyone is holding cups and drinking tea. When they are busy, they are very busy. When they are free, they chat happily and no one cares.
Of course, this is also the norm in many units today.
"Sister Su, you are back."
Guomu smiled.
An editor with a hot-selling author under her command naturally walks with a wind in the magazine office. Now she says she is going to communicate with the author, and no one cares whether it is true or not.
In short, there is nothing you can do about your performance.
Besides, after staying in the workplace for so many years, who hasn’t found an excuse to go out and do some errands?
"What are you talking about?"
Guo Mu also poured himself a cup of hot tea. He was blowing on the air conditioner and looking at the manuscript at hand, feeling somewhat relaxed.
"well."
Editor Liu on the next table sighed:
"Editor Su doesn't have an author under his command. The magazine's serialization was pretty good before..."
Editor Su is the chief editor of their other suspense story club. I recently heard that a serialized detective story will be published soon. I am very happy at this time.
"What?" Guomu wondered: "Is it possible that the promised publication can't be published?"
"That's not the case."
Seeing that Editor Su is not in the office now, everyone became bolder in chatting:
"It's that book of his. Now the publisher has made a request. It's hard to handle!"
Fruit trees:???
Isn’t it normal for publishers to make requests?
What the editor has to do is communicate back and forth between the author and the publisher...otherwise, would it be so easy to get the bonus?
