In Guo Rui's view, the novel "Three-Body Problem" is much more clever than Li Qing's previous "Searching for Qin", and only such hard science fiction can arouse the interest of critics and shine in the international literary world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's it. ”

Guo Rui said: "You might as well try to write "The Three-Body Problem" in your spare time? Of course, I don't mean that you have to write it in one breath, that is too unrealistic, I mean, you write tens of thousands of words every week, or every month, and then hand over these tens of thousands of words to us "Contemporary Literary Circle", and we are responsible for publicizing and promoting it for you. In addition, in terms of price, we can pay 800 words for 1,000 words, what do you think?"

One thousand words is 800 yuan, and one million words is 800,000 yuan.

This price is not much different from the thousand words and 1,000 words exposed by the Cultural Publishing House when it acquired the traditional copyright of "Xun Qin Ji".

And listening to Guo Rui's tone, it seems that except for the copyright of simplified Chinese publishing, there is no meaning at all in other aspects.

Didn't he know that the other copyrights of the novel were worth more?

In this regard, the Culture Publishing House under China Film Group is obviously more enthusiastic, and at the beginning, at a price of 10 million, it won all the game, animation, film and television and other related copyrights of "Xun Qin Ji".

However, considering that "Contemporary Literary World" is just a pure literary magazine, Li Qing knows that he is thinking a little too much.

"It looks like you just need simplified copyright. Li Qing said with a smile.

Guo Rui smiled: "If possible, of course I need it, such as traditional copyright, foreign translation copyright, etc., but I know that you are not a person who is willing to suffer, if you can get the simplified publishing copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" at such a price, we are already very satisfied." In the future, after the end of "The Three-Body Problem", when our "Contemporary Literary World" is reprinted, we will contact you in time every time it is reprinted, and give you a remuneration for printing, you can rest assured. ”

Li Qing looked at Guo Rui, and suddenly felt that he seemed to underestimate this young man.

Being able to turn a campus literary magazine into a national literary magazine is really not as simple as it seems.

Whether "The Three-Body Problem" can win the award or not, Li Qing knows better than anyone else.

How the sales of "The Three-Body Problem" are and how popular they are, Li Qing has also witnessed it with his own eyes.

And now, "The Three-Body Problem" is written by himself, which is more topical than the original author, and the number of his fans is also very impressive.

Coupled with "The Three-Body Problem", which is a work of superb quality in itself, it is difficult for this novel to be popular.

In addition, serialized works are more attractive than finished works, whether it is film and television works, animation works or fiction works, the longer the serialized works, the more fame and wealth they will draw, which Li Qing understands better than anyone else.

If "The Three-Body Problem" really begins to be serialized in "Contemporary Literary Circle", "Contemporary Literary Circle" can completely surpass the sales of all literary magazines and become the No. 1 contemporary magazine with works like Li Qing and "The Three-Body Problem".

If "The Three-Body Problem" wins awards in China or internationally, the status and fame of "Contemporary Literary Circle" will definitely change qualitatively.

When all the publishing houses and magazines in the country did not notice "The Three-Body Problem", a college student actually noticed "The Three-Body Problem", which had to make Li Qing look at Guo Rui with admiration.

However, in Li Qing's opinion, the price of 800 words is really not much, and it is even too low.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that no one except himself knows how popular "The Three-Body Problem" will be.

Therefore, the price of "Contemporary Literary World" can be 800 words per 1,000 words, which actually shows the bearing of Guo Rui, the editor-in-chief of college students.

Looking at Guo Rui and Liu Xu'er's expectant eyes, Li Qing smiled faintly: "Your suggestion is good, but I'm not just a pure author, the so-called shop around, I think you know better than me, let's do this today, the dishes are here, eat and eat......"

As soon as the words fell, Guo Rui's face changed, and he looked a little nervous: "Literature is sacred, Mr. Li, I think your literature is priceless, and eight hundred words is also the most price I can give so far." ”

Liu Wu'er felt a little dizzy.

The price of 800 words per thousand, she can't imagine that if it is a poem, the price is not much, and even a little low.

But "The Three-Body Problem" is a novel, and it is a long novel.

Eight hundred words, which contemporary writer has such a value?

Li Qing said with a smile: "When I wrote "Xun Qin Ji", I signed it with a publishing house in Hong Kong, and the price they gave me at that time was 1,000 words and 1,000 ......."

"A thousand words, no problem, I'll give you a thousand words too!"

Guo Rui gritted his teeth and said, "This is what I can do!"

Seeing Li Qing's unmoved appearance, Guo Rui thought about it carefully, and felt a little disheartened.

He also felt that his prices really seemed to be a little low.

You must know that one of Li Qing's songs is rumored to be as high as one million.

People have painstakingly written hundreds of thousands of words of fiction -- even a million words, if you do the math, it's only a million.

Painstakingly writing so many words, in the end, it is not as high as the price of a song......

If it were me, I would definitely not want to.

"The mainland is no better than Hong Kong. ”

Guo Rui seemed to feel that he was right about Li Qing's idea, so he said helplessly: "The piracy industry in the mainland is rampant, especially fiction and literature, compared with audio and video piracy, it is even more miserable......

Li Qing shook his head, interrupted Guo Rui to continue complaining, and said: "The publishing house in Hong Kong gave a thousand words and a thousand, but it was only a publication remuneration, and I didn't agree. I'm over there, and I'm taking the royalties. Mr. Guo, you should know better than me the difference between remuneration and royalties. ”

When Guo Rui heard this, his face turned slightly red.

has been in this industry for so long, Guo Rui naturally knows the difference between remuneration and royalties.

To put it simply, popular writers are well-known and suitable for royalties.

Young writers, or unknown writers, are suitable for remuneration.

The so-called remuneration is actually the basic remuneration, as well as the remuneration for printing several manuscripts.

It is pointed out that the publisher pays a certain remuneration to the author according to the number of words in the work, in units of 1,000 words, which is the basic remuneration, and then according to the number of copies of the book, in units of 1,000 copies, according to a certain proportion of the basic remuneration, the remuneration is paid to the copyright owner, that is, the remuneration for the number of prints.

When the work is reprinted, only the remuneration for the number of copies will be paid, and the basic remuneration will not be paid.

The so-called royalty refers to the payment of the author by multiplying the price of the book, multiplying the number of circulations, and then multiplying it by the royalty rate.

In general, the royalty rate should be between 3% and 10%.

At the beginning, the Culture Publishing House bid 1,000 words and 1,000 to buy out the traditional copyright of "Xun Qin Ji", but Li Qing did not agree, but put forward the condition of asking for 10% royalties, and the contract signed later was also 10% royalties, that is, if he did not sell a novel, Li Qing would take 10% of the royalties.

Since the rookie period, Li Qing has been eligible to obtain royalties, and now, "Contemporary Literary World" buys the copyright of Li Qing's works in the form of remuneration, not to mention Li Qing, popular writers such as Yun Hua, in the face of this kind of scene, they absolutely disagree.
