In terms of scale, personnel, and annual sales, Tang Dynasty Publishing House can be said to be the largest first-class publishing house in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Every year, countless college graduates will pour into the talent pool of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, not only because of the fame of Tang Dynasty Publishing House, but also because among countless publishing houses across the country, Tang Dynasty Publishing House's employee benefits and salaries are second to none.

Zou Weilun is a responsible editor of Tang Dynasty Publishing House.

However, compared with other peers, Zou Weilun's life in Tang Dynasty Publishing House this year was very uncomfortable.

As the first person to receive the submission of "Xun Qin Ji" and discover the fire potential of "Xun Qin Ji", Zou Weilun can't help but feel a pain in his heart every time he thinks of the achievements of "Xun Qin Ji" in the past year.

If the Tang Dynasty Publishing House allowed the publication of this "Seeking Qin" at that time, then all the achievements of "Searching for Qin" now will be like a cornucopia, constantly bringing wealth, fame and career upward to Zou Weilun.

The discovery of a copy of "The Legend of Qin" was enough to make him famous in the industry, and even became the youngest editor-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty Publishing House.

However, all this finally disappeared because of the insistent veto of the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief.

After he recommended this book "Looking for Qin" to the Hong Kong Literature and Art Publishing House, after a year of accumulation, coupled with the performance achievements brought by the discovery of "The Legend of Qin", as well as the rising popularity in the industry, Cai Afen was directly promoted to the editor-in-chief of the Literature and Art Publishing House and became one of the youngest editors-in-chief of the Literature and Art Publishing House.

The Literature and Art Publishing House is backed by China Film Group, and has Glory Bookstore as the distribution source, and its publishing scale is designed for the entire Southeast Asian Chinese circle, which is almost the same as the Tang Dynasty Publishing House.

Therefore, the gold content of the editor-in-chief of the Literature and Art Publishing House is not much lower than that of the Tang Dynasty Publishing House, which only focuses on publishing in the mainland.

The former members of the University Literature Club are now at the editor-in-chief level.

And as the president, he is still the little-known little editor.

This makes Zou Weilun feel an indescribable sense of loss every time he thinks about it.

During this period of time, Li Qing became famous in China and became one of the most popular superstars in China, with fans all over the Taiwan Strait, and all the historical traces of his journey along the way have been dug up by people with intentions.

When the news came that "The Legend of Qin" was rejected by the Tang Dynasty Publishing House due to superstition and was published by the Hong Kong Literature and Art Publishing House, for a while, the Tang Dynasty Publishing House was also on the cusp.

Adjectives such as having eyes and no beads are also coming one after another.

The editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief and other management of the publishing house have all become the target of ridicule in the industry.

This feeling is very uncomfortable, especially in the past two days, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture have inspected and mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, which immediately made the management of Tang Dynasty Publishing House more careful.

Originally, if it weren't for the notice issued by your Ministry of Culture prohibiting the publication of superstitious books, we would have rejected the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji"?

At the end of the inspection, the leaders of the Ministry of Culture seemed to have finally lost their patience, and in their words, they not only praised Li Qing's literary achievements abroad, but also added all the reasons for the rejection of "Xun Qin" to the Tang Dynasty Publishing House, suggesting that they were looking for an opportunity to apologize to Li Qing and make an appointment.

You must know that the development of the industrial chain brought about by a "Xun Qin Ji" has made the Literature and Art Publishing House make a lot of money.

Recently, the TV series "Looking for Qin" broadcast by Hong Kong TVB is also so popular that he has no friends, and the starring Gu Shaohua has directly gained huge popularity in Hong Kong with this TV series.

The surrounding industrial chain of "Xun Qin Ji" was also out of stock for a time, and the intangible value contained in it was definitely more than 100 million.

The management of the Tang Dynasty Publishing House understood very well what the leaders of the Ministry of Culture meant.

Asking Li Qing for a manuscript is secondary, and getting the surrounding copyright development rights of Li Qing's works is probably the most important thing.

A novel, no matter how popular it is, in the mainland, earning a few million a year is already the extreme.

The most important of these is undoubtedly the various derivative rights of this novel.

For example, the copyright of movies, TV series, games, animations, and character models, etc., the value contained in this is much higher than publishing a novel.

Everyone understands this truth, the leaders understand it, the publishing house understands it, and Li Qing also understands it.

The key is how to get these copyrights in your hands, instead of handing them over to Hong Kong people to develop.

After all, a work with a derivative value of hundreds of millions of dollars, the various tax figures it brings are very considerable, and it also invisibly solves a lot of employment pressure.

In short, what the leaders of the Ministry of Culture said around the old man is nothing more than one meaning:

I don't blame you for letting go of "Xun Qin Ji" from your Tang Dynasty Publishing House, but Li Qing's next work, you must get it to me, and there can be no jokes like letting go of "Xun Qin Ji"!

After implementing the spirit of the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, the Tang Dynasty Publishing House held an emergency meeting.

In the end, with the editor-in-chief Wu Shaobo as the main editor, supplemented by the editor-in-charge Zou Weilun, and two copyright operation editors who are proficient in law, the four of them set out to go to Hanhai Media Company to make an appointment with Li Qing, who is now very busy.

Hanhai Culture Media is now located in Chaoyang Park, an office building called Fujin.

The 12-storey office building is across the street from the Expedition Media Building.

The sixth and seventh floors of Hanhai have now been renovated, and all employees have moved in.

After Zou Weilun and the editor-in-chief Wu Shaobo came here, after revealing their identities to the front desk, they were not surprised when they heard that Li Qing was not there, and the announcements of big stars have always been busy, especially popular superstars like Li Qing.

Subsequently, after making an appointment for the general manager Zhou Ji's trip, they began to wait in the reception hall.

That's an afternoon.

At that time, Zhou Ji and others were continuing to argue with the brokerage team of the "Mike Learns to Rock" orchestra that came to inquire about the English cover copyright of the song "Kiss Goodbye" again.

The price of 700,000 yuan is the final bottom line of Zhou Ji's English cover copyright of the song "Kiss Goodbye".

And the brokerage team of "Mike Learns Rock" also increased the price this time, from the original firm price of 500,000 to 600,000.

"Miss Anna. ”

Zhou Ji put the coffee cup in his hand on the table, and said lightly: "English is the universal language of the world, and the price of its cover copyright is naturally higher than that of other languages, are you right?"

Anna said sincerely: "That's true, but your price is too high, we really can't accept it, and please Miss Zhou can make a little concession on the price......

Zhou Ji shook her head and said: "I'll tell you the truth, in the past two days, many foreign brokerage teams have contacted us, and they will not only buy the English cover copyright of "Kiss Goodbye", but also the cover copyright of all the songs in the album "Li Qing", they will buy it by auction. ”

Bidding?

Anna was taken aback.

Bidding is a bottomless pit, the price will only rise higher and higher, and where there is comfort in private negotiation, the monetary loss will be minimized.

Zhou Ji observed Anna's expression and smiled inwardly.

She stood up quietly and continued, "We have been discussing the auction date recently, so Miss Anna should wait a few days before coming, this is what I mean, and this is what our boss wants. ”

Seeing Zhou Ji's indifferent look, Anna only felt frightened.

Although I think this is a trap, there are some things, the more you delay, the greater the chance of accidents.

As soon as she thought of this, Anna finally couldn't help it, she quickly got up and stopped Zhou Ji: "You wait first......"

In the end, Anna succumbed to Zhou Jiao's bidding trick and chose to surrender.

The "Mike Learns to Rock" agency team has purchased a total of two English cover rights for two songs, one is "Kiss Goodbye" at a price of 700,000 yuan, and the other is "Dusk" with a price of 500,000 yuan.

After the contract was signed, looking at Anna and the others who were leaving, Zhou Ji suddenly said to Xu Wen next to her: "I always feel that the price I opened is a little less." ”

"Is this still less?" Xu Wen's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "Two songs, 1.2 million, this is just a cover copyright! My God, do you really think someone will come to us to participate in any auction?"

Zhou Ji laughedly patted Xu Wen's forehead with the contract document she had just signed in her hand: "Please, is it okay to have a little interest?"

Xu Wen covered her head and smiled: "Sister Ji, I didn't say you, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, sometimes, too greedy, it's really not good." ”

"You criticize me?" Zhou Ji squinted at her.

Xu Wen hurriedly shook her hand: "Hey, that's what I said, don't care about it, sister, just treat my words as a gust of wind, just blow it, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhou Ji didn't speak, remembering the ecstatic look on Anna's team when she left, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the people from the Tang Dynasty Publishing House are waiting for you to meet!" Xu Wen said.

"Tang Dynasty Publishing House?"

Zhou Ji looked surprised, and immediately thought about it.

Wu Shaobo, Zou Weilun, and others waited for three or four hours, from less than one o'clock in the afternoon to more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

No matter how good your temper is, you will also have a short-tempered psychology in this kind of waiting.

The editor-in-chief, Wu Shaobo, was the one who proposed to return the manuscript of "Xun Qin Ji", wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a dark blue suit, and a briefcase, and he looked quite a successful professional.

It's just that after waiting for so long, he, who had already complained about this trip, finally couldn't help but start complaining: "Is this the other party giving us a ride? Isn't it just that he hasn't given him a draft? This is also too stingy, looking at this practice, even if it is popular, I am afraid it is also a temporary meteor, I conclude that this person is difficult to become a big thing." ”

When Zou Weilun heard this, he glanced at the front desk lady not far away, and his eyes were a little peculiar, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Wu Shaobo is a typical generation in China who has been poisoned by martial arts novels, and he is a Chinese language and literature major, every time he speaks, his words are always polite, revealing a erudite and talented hypocrisy.

However, this way of talking is also quite appreciated by contemporary people, who believe that it is a symbol of reading poetry and books, and it is very popular.

However, these problems are trivial in Zou Weilun's view.

But if you mutter about other people's bosses in front of the front desk lady like this, aren't you afraid that people will chew their tongues in front of Li Qing?

It was also at this time that Zhou Ji and Xu Wen came to the reception hall, and after seeing Wu Shaobo and others, they walked over directly.

"Several, I'm Zhou Ji, who are you?" asked Zhou Ji with a smile.

"Ah, Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time, hello, I am the editor-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty Publishing House, Wu Shaobo. ”

When Wu Shaobo saw Zhou Ji, he was immediately shocked by that beautiful face, and then enthusiastically introduced: "This is my assistant Zou Weilun......"

After introducing them one by one, Zhou Ji politely invited a few people to sit in the living room.

"We don't seem to have anything to do with your society, I don't know how many people came to our Hanhai for?" Zhou Ji asked suspiciously.

Wu Shaobo had been waiting for three hours, even if Zhou Ji was good-looking, he didn't want to talk too much nonsense at this time, and just said straight to the point: "We are here to ask Mr. Li Qing for a manuscript." ”

"Draft?" Zhou Ji blinked.

"That's right, by appointment. ”

Wu Shaobo nodded and said: "It's been a year since the end of "Xun Qin Ji", I don't know if Li Qing, that is, Qinglian Sword Immortal's latest work, has found the next home? ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Zhou Ji smiled slightly: "At present, our boss doesn't seem to have the idea of developing in the literary world for the time being......"

When Wu Shaobo heard this, he said with a smile: "Isn't it? "The Story of Seeking Qin" is so popular, even if Li Qing has no other ideas, doesn't he have any plans to continue to write the second part? In our official survey, many fans of "The Story of Qin" are very much looking forward to Li Qing being able to write a work like "The Overlord of Western Chu", after all, in the final ending of "The Story of Qin", we all know that Xiang Shaoyu's son is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!"

Zhou Ji shook his head: "In this regard, our boss really has no idea, he is now busy in major cities for the program announcement and signing of the latest album, if you have time, he will come back tomorrow, how many of you will come back then?"

Wu Shaobo suddenly became angry, buddy waited for so long, in exchange for such a result?

He wanted to speak again, but Zou Weilun grabbed his shoulders and signaled him to calm down, and then saw Zou Weilun smile and said, "In that case, Mr. Zhou, we will come back tomorrow." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. ”

Zhou Ji smiled and got up to shake hands with Zou Weilun, Wu Shaobo and others.

After seeing them leave, Xu Wen, who had been silent, suddenly sneered: "This group of people is really shameless, they want to pick up ready-made cheap, when the boss submitted articles to them, they had no eyes and let go of a huge work." Now that he saw that the boss was on fire, he began to run shamelessly to talk about new works? Ha, how can there be such a good thing in the world. ”

"The Tang Dynasty is very strong and well-funded, and if the boss really has new literary works, the Tang Dynasty is indeed a good choice. ”

Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't be the master in this regard, so let's wait for him to come back!" )
