My rebirth is different

Page 109

This Dong Xiaoxue is the editor of the Commercial Printing House. Although everyone is a competitor, they are still familiar.

The editor who came to find Yu Wenfei, Hu Yan already knew that he was definitely not the only one, and he was already mentally prepared.

Everyone depends on who is more sincere and who has more strength, and he doesn't plan to take advantage of it.

It is the right way to make friends with a potential writer and cooperate with them for a long time.

These big publishing houses may squeeze some unknown little writers, but they will never be stingy when dealing with famous or potential writers.

The two walked into the room together and sat down separately.

Yu Wenfei smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, time is tight, and there are too many publishers looking for me. I can only meet with two more at a time. Let's talk openly and honestly. It's best if we can cooperate. It’s like meeting a new friend.”

What could nonsense say, he could only respond with a smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, we are talking about aboveboard things, don't be afraid of others, haha."

Dong Xiaoxue sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and her upper body slightly leaning forward, showing off her beautiful figure.

Li Yaqin rolled her eyes, thinking that this woman is...too much!

Even if you have a good figure, you can still dress up like this.

Not to mention knowing how to dress up, how come every move is so charming, everyone is a woman, so the gap is so big!

Turning back to the main topic, Hu Yan said solemnly: "I came here this time to ask you for a manuscript. I wonder if student Yu Wenfei has any plans to write a novel. I have read two of your articles for this competition. , so suitable for writing novels!"

Although the competition article has not yet been made public, some of these old editors have seen it in advance through channels.

Not only he had seen it, Dong Xiaoxue had also seen it, she also said.

"Yes, those two articles are wonderfully written! After reading them, I was in tears. If I write a similar novel, there is no doubt that it will be a big hit."

Yu Wenfei smiled, got up and took out two folders from the trolley case, and handed them to the two respectively.

"You two, I have already written a novel, here is a part of the manuscript, you can take a look at it first."

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue looked at Yu Wenfei in surprise at the same time. They didn't expect that Yu Wenfei had already written the book, so that would be even better!

The two of them hurriedly got up and took the folder, looking through it carefully.

Just after reading the title of the book on the first page, "I love this world, but I love you more", Hu Yan frowned slightly, while Dong Xiaoxue's eyes lit up.

There was no sound in the room, except for the "rustling" sound of the two people flipping the paper.

They are all old editors, and they read books very quickly. The manuscript Yu Wenfei showed them was about 10 to [-] words, which was considered the first part of the big plot, and they finished it in less than [-] minutes.

After reading it, Hu Yan pondered for a while, and took the lead to say: "Although I have passed that age, the sense of substitution may be a bit poor, but from the perspective of writing style and story, this is a good book, and young people may be very excited. I like it. But as far as I know, Xiao Han, who is also from your new concept contest, seems to have more depth in his upcoming book. Yu Wenfei, have you ever considered adding some thoughts to this... love story What about sex?"

He is an old-fashioned editor, and from the bottom of his heart, he prefers more serious literature.

In fact, this is also the style of their Sanlian Bookstore, which is more formal literature, not very interested in those kitsch popular literature.

Yu Wenfei's youthful love story, although he felt quite good after reading it, it still didn't reach the height he wanted.

Before Yu Wenfei could speak, Dong Xiaoxue, who was sitting next to him, refuted.

"No! I don't think it is necessary to add any thoughtful text, nor is there any need to talk about depth! This novel is written for teenage boys and girls. The story is interesting, engaging, and very moving. That's enough! Our publishing house wants this novel!"

Hu Yan glanced at her displeasedly, "I didn't say no, but out of duty, I just reminded classmate Yu Wenfei. If you want the novel to gain more recognition and greater response after it is published, it is your intention to It is better to have some depth. Of course, judging from the current text, it is also very good, and our publishing house also wants it!"

"Thank you, Teacher Hu, for your suggestion, but this novel has already been finished, and I don't want to make major changes. The next one may consider depth and literary quality. This book, as Teacher Dong said, is written for peers to read Yes." Yu Wenfei said.

Since both publishers want it, everyone has to compare the conditions.

"Royalty 9%, first printing of 50 copies!"

This is the price offered by Hu Yan on behalf of Sanlian Publishing House, which is considered very good.

For ordinary newcomers, it is enough to get an 8% royalty, and the first print of 50 copies is also a very high number.

"Royalty 10%, first printing of 100 copies!"

Dong Xiaoxue smiled slightly and quoted her own price.

"Are you crazy? Giving such a high royalty and paying so much for the first print! Aren't you afraid of falling into your hands?" Hu Yan looked at Dong Xiaoxue in surprise.

"Teacher Hu, I'm not crazy, but I'm more optimistic about this book than you!" Dong Xiaoxue said bluntly.

Hu Yan shook his head again and again, he understood that they were all in the same industry. Dong Xiaoxue probably had to bear a lot of responsibility for quoting this price.

If the sales of Yu Wenfei's novel fail to meet expectations after it is published.

Then Dong Xiaoxue will be in big trouble. At least, his bonus will be deducted, and at worst, he may even take the blame and resign!

Is this woman really so optimistic about this novel?

Or did I misread it and didn't see the true potential of this book?

Hu Yan hesitated.

Chapter 94 Who Gets It ([-] Recommendations Plus Updates)

"Teachers, let's not be in a hurry to talk about royalties. I want to hear about your promotion plan for this book."

Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly.

Li Yaqin wanted to interrupt a few times just now, but she didn't have a chance to speak. Now she finally seized the opportunity, and said quickly: "Yes! Yu Wenfei is still a newcomer, whether he can make great efforts to promote it is the key!"

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue looked at each other, a little surprised. I didn't expect that Yu Wenfei, at such a young age, would be able to be calm when encountering major events, and grasp the key points at once.

Publishing books, royalties are of course important, which is related to what percentage of the money you can get.

However, this requires a prerequisite. If the book sells well, of course, the higher the royalty, the more you will get.

But if the book can't be sold, the royalties will be 90.00% for you, so what!

Whether a book can sell well depends on many factors.

Whether the author itself has enough popularity and appeal is the key. For many famous authors, every time a new book is not released, the major newspapers and media have already done overwhelming publicity.

And these promotions are not paid promotions, they belong to "tap water"!

This is the influence of the writer itself!

Another key factor is the promotion efforts of the publishing house.

For a new writer like Yu Wenfei, this promotion is even more critical.

Because he is just a fledgling, he does not have much popularity and influence, nor does he have enough die-hard fans.
