Chapter 178 Promotion to the first-class [550 months
From the South China Sea Island, which is as warm as spring to the steep autumn cold in Yanjing, Gu Xinxue was still shivering from the cold even after preparing his coat.
After all, he had no idea of autumn and winter at all, so he came here and was given a good class this time.
In today's physical market, there are too few newcomers with potential, so publishers have to look for business opportunities in online novels!
Most best-selling writers are not as good as those of online novels in physical book sales, especially top online fantasy novels, which dominate the novel sales list.
They don’t need publicity, they are already very famous. Many readers who read online are willing to collect a set of physical books!
After all, those who can reward the leader will not care about that little money.
Why does the copyright of online novels cost hundreds of thousands or millions at one time?
Because they have high sales and great influence, they are particularly suitable for adapting into games or other things.
Even if it is in the publishing industry, it has a particularly advantage. It will take several years for traditional writers to write a novel, even if it is divided into one, two, three, four or five.
But an online writer can only read a few million words in a book. According to the publication of more than 100,000 words in a book, if this novel becomes popular, it can slowly release dozens of volumes, just like the current legend of the Dragon King.
Zhang Chu's works have made a bloody road in the physical version of the fiercely competitive online novel. Nanhai Publishing Company knows that Zhang Chu is no longer a potential stock now, because he has gradually tapped out his potential and become his own ability.
"Young Pi" is a key battle. Is Zhang Chu capable of gaining a foothold in first-class competition? Only by withstanding the impact of various best-selling books can he eventually transform.
Which top author did not gradually mature and leave a great reputation in the battle on the rankings!
Gu Xinxue knew that no matter what price he signed "Youth Pi" at, it would be a sure profit and profitable deal. This book has the ability to reach the top ten sales list or even the champion.
Menglong Culture Media is right in front of him. He sorted out his clothes and a fierce battle is about to begin.
...
The hot mutton soup pot has a strong aroma, and the mutton from northern Xinjiang is tender and moderately fat and thin.
The lamb pork ribs cooked in the mutton soup are made of lamb ribs, a pot of water, and five or six moderately sized lamb ribs are put into the pot. After the water boils, the waiter will put in the large ingredients.
Then add yellow radish and dried chili peppers for seasoning. When Anmi, a food expert, removes the oil foam floating from the excess ribs from the pot while she is still cooking.
When the ribs are cooked, the bone soup will be full of flavor!
Zhang Chu used a smooth porcelain bowl to add hot mutton soup, then put some coriander in it, and the hot and stomach-warming soup suddenly warmed his whole body, as if it had opened up the joints all over his body.
"It's delicious, this mutton is also better than the mutton in the south!"
Yang Ling looked at the coriander in Zhang Chu's bowl with some disgust. He deliberately said: "The coriander party is all heretics."
Sun Ruiqi knocked on her bowl and retorted fiercely: "Old Yang, don't make trouble. Our coriander party is sitting upright, so it's not a heresy."
The few people in the dormitory suddenly burst into laughter. Even if Zhang Chu eats coriander, he doesn't put it in the pot. This is a place worth learning from for many coriander parties.
The small restaurants near the school are very cheap. Even though Zhang Chu wanted to treat them, the other three people in the dormitory still insisted on a system. An Mi and the others did not want to lose a friend.
Anyway, it only costs a few dozen yuan on average, and they walked back to the campus one by one.
"I'll go and memorize the words for a while. Who of you goes to study together?" Yang Ling asked.
This year, the first CET-4 English test is just a little bit for him. It is very easy to pass a 425-point score, but he wants to get a high score and prepare for the CET-6 and TOEFL IELTS.
Sun Ruiqi patted her backpack and replied, "Let me go together, the homework of ancient Chinese has not been completed yet."
"Then I'll forget it together."
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Chu was the only one left at the gate of Yan Daxi. He waved to the three guys and said with a smile: "Don't think of you as nerds, go back early to rest in the evening."
For Zhang Chu, he was not willing to force himself too hard, just like now he decided to go back and play two games to relax.
Who knew that before he entered the community, he was stopped by Zhou Kang who was waiting aside. This scared him!
"Uncle Zhou! Why are you here?"
Zhou Kang spread his hands, "I have something important to call you, but your phone turned off, so he had to come to the community gate to wait for you."
Zhang Chu took out his phone and saw that the screen was indeed black and he would turn off automatically when it was not known.
He pointed to the garden in the community and said, "Let's talk as we go, what important things can't be discussed tomorrow?"
Zhou Kang took out a printed document from his briefcase, "Today, your editor Gu Xinxue flew over from the South China Sea Island to discuss the publication of "Youth Pi". Finally, we reached this agreement initially and signed it officially after the awards ceremony results on October 8."
Taking advantage of the dim street lights, Zhang Chu looked down and looked at it carefully. He ignored the specific terms and conditions and looked directly at the numbers.
"10%? So much has risen in one go?"
It clearly states that the royalty rate of Zhang Chu's book "Youth Pi" is 10%!
There are also incremental terms. If "Pi's Fantasy Drift" successfully won the best novel at the China Good Literature Awards Ceremony on October 8, it will increase by another 1%!
"Yes, it's not in vain that I talked with him in the office for an afternoon. Finally, I told him that if he signs 10%, he would lose his sign. There were so many publishers waiting outside, so Gu Xinxue agreed. He had always said about 8% before."
Zhang Chu's first three books were all 5% royalty, which seemed quite good for newcomers at the beginning.
But it doubled at once. With the same sales volume, 10% of the royalties can make him double the royalties!
Zhou Kang looked very proud, and he smiled and said, "Congratulations on entering the ranks of first-class writers."
"Half of the credit is yours."
Zhang Chu is very glad that finding an agent by himself is indeed beneficial, and professionals are the best at winning related interests.
Even if you pay a certain profit, you will get much more than before!
10% royalties are usually only available to first-class writers. Now Zhang Chu has rushed up with the popularity of "Boyant Pi". If others know about it, he will definitely be envious.
"If it weren't for your first three works, if the quality of "Pi" was not that good, no matter how good I was, I wouldn't let them down."
Chapter completed!
