Quick Transmigration Goldfinger Trialist

When someone discusses it, there will be heat, and if there is heat, there will be more curious people and people who pay attention, thereby increasing the sales of magazines and forming a relatively benign growth cycle.

When the magazine is based on data and feedback.

After analyzing the reasons for sales growth.

Naturally, we will continue to increase the corresponding article promotion and publicity, and increase the serial weight of the corresponding novels. Specifically, Ding Yun's works may be put on the cover.

The serialized content may increase by 10,000 to 20,000 words.

meet the needs of readers.

Fortunately, Ding Yun had already handed over the entire manuscript to the magazine, so there was no such thing as a reminder.

At most, the two magazines have continued to make appointments with Ding Yun. I hope that if Ding Yun has new works, he can give them priority and the remuneration can be increased appropriately.

However, Ding Yun is not in a hurry to release works continuously. The most important thing is that the serialization of the work has not been finished yet, and if he releases works again, it is not competing with himself.

So I can only euphemistically say that I have been busy with school recently, and I don't have much time to write, and I will talk about it after the winter vacation.

After that, they didn't continue to ask for drafts.

It wasn't until Ding Yun started school three months ago, and the serialization of "Xia Gu Dan Xin" was about to end, that Editor Zhou contacted Ding Yun again.

"Hi, I'm from the magazine.

I am contacting you this time because your first novel is about to end its serialization, and the next issue will have a finale.

Once the finale is out, it will be published.

We conservatively estimate that a printing will cost 200,000 yuan first, and the royalties are 8%. This price is quite good. Although some writers can get 12% royalties, those are all martial arts. Famous masters, we can only give 8% for the time being.

In addition, we are different from other unscrupulous publishing houses. We will not keep the royalties down until the printed books are sold.

We will give you the royalties first as many books as we print.

It has nothing to do with you if you can't sell it out.

what do you think? Do you want to sign a publishing contract? "

As soon as Ding Yun heard it, he knew that the other party's words were not very sincere, because no matter what, after the book was officially printed, it was an industry rule to pay 50% of the royalties in advance. That's it, up to 50 percent.

However, because the conditions offered by the other party are very attractive, and they are willing to directly give 100% of the royalties, so Ding Yun didn't bother to expose it. He just pretended not to know, nodded and replied:

"Yes, it seems that your magazine has a lot of turnover, and the overall operation is very healthy. You can send the contract later. If there is no problem, I will sign it and send it back. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Yes, yes, and other things.

We have another question, and we want to discuss it with you, that is, your remaining four books. Didn’t you send us five volumes? If these five volumes continue to be serialized, the final publication sales It will be a little bit lower. After all, after reading the serial content, many people will not buy a book they have read and take it home for collection. Therefore, our idea is whether we can publish it together directly, so that the sales volume will be higher.

Don't you get a little more royalties?

Compared to royalties, royalties are nothing!

But in this way, the royalties we may have to pay here may be a bit high, and the direct one-time payment will have a slight impact on the flow of funds. Therefore, can we pay 30% of the royalties for the last four books first.

After selling some and getting back some funds, we will definitely pay you the remaining 70% in time.

Our publishing house still has this reputation.

If you think about it, if we sell it as a set, even if you don’t want to buy the first book, people who think that they have already read the first book and don’t need to buy it will buy the first book by the way just to read the next four books. Going back, after all, I bought all four copies, and the money for that one is still missing, making the whole set incomplete? This is the planning of our magazine.

It is also a plan to maximize profits.

Of course, whether you want to or not.

It depends on your own choice. "

Well, hearing this, how can Ding Yun not understand what the other party means. He just said that he is willing to give all royalties directly for the first book, which is completely paving the way for the later content and less prepaid royalties.

However, after doing some calculations, Ding Yun was still very surprised, and at the same time asked straightforwardly:

"Editor Zhou, I don't really understand why you bothered to come up with such a set. Based on the fact that each book is printed with 200,000 copies, you and I have been tossing around, and in the end you only paid 100,000 yuan less than the normal market rules. The 30% advance payment of the manuscript fee for this book is nothing more than that.

Is your publishing house so close?

Calculated at twenty yuan for a book.

Only saved less than 100,000 yuan. "

Normally it is a 50% advance payment, but now he wants to pay 50% more for the first book, so that the next four books will be paid 20% less for each of the next four books, which adds up to 80% minus 50%, saving one Only 30% of the book.

At the same time, Editor Zhou was visibly stunned for a moment. He saw Ding Yun's willingness to agree just now, and thought that the other party didn't understand. He didn't find out that it was only because the things he mentioned earlier were beneficial to the other party, so he agreed.

So in the next second, he could only helplessly admit:

"I didn't expect you to be knowledgeable. I know that 50% of the royalties are usually paid in advance. In fact, our publishing house is not short of that one hundred thousand, but if it is hundreds of thousands or millions, it is indeed a little short, because we Although the publishing house only intends to print 200,000 copies of your first book, we plan to print 500,000 copies for the next few books. Because the first book has been serialized in full, the sales volume will definitely decrease , so we dare not print too many, but the next few books have not been serialized.

Plus your current fame and popularity.

There is still a high probability of selling 500,000 yuan.

I’m really sorry, but there’s nothing we can do about it, because if we want to print 500,000 books, it will add up to 2.2 million books. The initial investment is a bit large, which may affect the company’s cash flow.

But the publishing house wants to fight again.

I'm really sorry, if you don't agree, then let's follow the normal rules, but the publishing house may have to reduce the printing volume, and each of the next four books can only print 300,000 first, let's see the market . "

Editor Zhou's words were not actually a threat, they were just telling the truth, but Ding Yun didn't want to compromise, because she was worried that they might make more progress in the future after this compromise, so she just said helplessly: "Okay, then Just print 300,000 first.

Let's still follow the industry rules, there is no need to take risks, and there is no need to play tricks. Please send me the specific contract, and I will sign it directly if there is no problem.

In the future, if you have anything to say, you can tell it directly, don't play tricks and plot with me here, I am young, but it doesn't mean I have a low IQ. Well, most of the industry rules can be found by searching the Internet. "
