Chapter 708: Learn Now and Sell Now
Although "Contemporary Literary Circle" is one of the three major literary periodicals, but after all, it is only a publication, compared with the real publishing house, there is still some gap in the distribution channel, the 31% of the royalty rate of the Tang Dynasty Publishing House, and the 31% given by "Contemporary Literary Circle", is fundamentally different.

Li Qing thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Guo, you are sincere, I can't help but give you face, but even if it is published as a volume, let's discuss the serial price." ”
As soon as he heard Li Qing's words, Guo Rui was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "You said, as long as I can afford it, I will definitely meet your requirements." ”
"One thousand and five. Li Qing said.
When Guo Rui heard this, he didn't even think about it, and directly clapped his decision: "Deal!"
Li Qing regretted it after speaking, he felt that his price had been raised a little low.
The three parts of "The Three-Body Problem" are added together, which is 900,000 words, 1,000 words and 1,000 words, and one word is 1.5 yuan, and the three parts together are 1.35 million yuan.
I have worked so hard to write for so long, and I only earn so much?
Guo Rui noticed the look, and immediately cried bitterly: "Hey, my lord, do you think this price is low? I swear in the name of our old Guo family, this is definitely the final price in my mind, I don't know how the foreign market is, but in our mainland, in the entire market, you are the only one who can have the price of 1,000 words and 1,000 words." ”
Li Qing smiled, in fact, he didn't care about these three melons and two dates, in terms of literature, he belonged to the hand-in-hand, which can be regarded as a side business.
What's more, this is still a magazine serialization, not a publication.
Immediately, Guo Rui began to call people to sort out the contract, in this regard, Han Han is more professional, and after the girl finished checking the contract and nodded, Li Qing took the contract, didn't even look at it, and signed his name easily.
"Contemporary Literary World" is a semi-monthly magazine, and the contract stipulates that 50,000 words will be delivered every month, but Li Qing did it more neatly, and stuffed the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" to Guo Rui in one go.
Guo Rui saw the 200,000-word manuscript in the mailbox, burst into tears of excitement, and immediately packed the ticket: "Don't worry, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will help you promote this great work to all parts of the country, I believe you will win the award!"
Winning?
Li Qing didn't expect so much, let's take one step at a time.
After solving the publication direction of "The Three-Body Problem", Li Qing brought Tie Xu to inquire about the preparation of the record department.
"At first, the General Administration of Publication made things difficult for us and refused to give us the right to distribute, and the corners of my mouth were blistered. Later, after Mr. Zhou learned about this, he personally went out, and within a few days, the batch number of the issuance right came down. ”
Tie Xu was surprised: "I only know now that our Zhou always has such a lot of energy, and she is actually a descendant of the great writer Zhou Lindong during the Republic of China." And the old man of the Zhou family, who used to be the deputy ministerial-level leader of radio and television, although he is now retired, his influence is still ......"
When Li Qing heard this, he was also speechless, and his impression of Zhou Ji became more intuitive.
Then he thought that Zhou Ji's daughter Huihui was his little fan, and he had promised Zhou Ji to take time to take a photo with Huihui.
Li Qing was suddenly a little embarrassed, and planned to take time to visit Sister Ji's house in the next two days.
"As for the production plant, it has now been completed, two days ago, Cao Ke, the general manager of the music supermarket, also contacted me to ask if our company has any singer's new album on the New Year's file, and Manager Cao seems to be very eager to have an in-depth cooperation with us. Tie Xu said with a smile.
When Li Qing heard this, he suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Now that he has released a new album, it will be impossible for a while, but Qin Hai, Wang Chong, and Cai Li can't delay it at all.
Especially Qin Hai, as a popular singer, has joined Hanhai for a year, but not many people in the outside world know about it, and now it's time to push him out.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing said, "How about pushing out the wandering band to test the water?"
Tie Xu's eyes lit up, as Qin Hai's agent, he actually expected the hesitant band to release a new album more than anyone else, when he nodded: "Hanhai is a new entrant, and the first album released is naturally based on safety, although Wang Chong and Caili have good strength, they have no fan base, and there are too many unknown factors." In comparison, the hesitant band that has debuted for many years and has a fan base is more suitable for exposure at this time. ”
"That's what to do. Li Qing said with a smile: "In addition to "Born to Hesitate" and "When I Think of You", I will write a new song for Brother Hai, as for the other songs, it is up to Brother Xu to help you find a way." ”
Tie Xu was overjoyed: "No problem, wrap it up on me." ”
At the moment, the creation of the new album of the Wandering Band was put on the agenda, and when Qin Hai and others learned the news, they were so happy that they almost broke their guitars, because they were not in the capital, and several members of the Wandering Band, including Qin Hai, all happily texted Li Qing to thank them.
At that time, Li Qing and Han Han were driving to a large toy store, preparing to visit the Zhou family.
"Huihui is only five or six years old, right? When she goes to kindergarten, she should like the little princess Tiantian. ”
In the car, Han Han saw Li Qing's puzzled look, blinked his eyes, and explained, "It's dolls, puppets and other toys." ”
"That's a good idea. ”
Li Qing thought about it, and the two of them even bought a few half-person-tall toy puppets in the toy store and stuffed them into the back compartment, and then the two began to think about gifts for Zhou Ji's family.
Zhou Ji got married after graduation, and the other party is said to be an associate professor at Jingcheng University.
When Han Han heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, "Qingzai, a university professor doesn't mean that the other party is an intellectual in your audio, forget about the four treasures of the study, let's buy some fruits, the courtesy is light...... Oh, by the way, it seems that Sister Ji is still your fan, I was attracted by your poetry at the beginning, if you think it's okay, just give Sister Ji a poem!"
As he spoke, Han Han took out a pen and paper, looked at Li Qing with big eyes sparkling, and his face was full of expectation: "You say, I'll write." ”
Nowadays, one of Li Qing's poems is very expensive in the literary world, especially in the calligraphy world, since Li Qing's "See or See" and other poems came out, many calligraphy circles have almost written Li Qing's masterpieces, but Li Qing is in the entertainment industry, and has no time to take care of poetry creation, which is a pity for some people in the calligraphy world.
When Li Qing heard this, he also felt that this could be done.
When even cleared his throat, he began to search for inventory in his stomach, ready to learn and sell.
After a while, I really searched for a song for him.
