Chapter 53 Signing
On the second day, Ning Ying woke up on the sofa.
After straightening the straps of her slippery nightdress to hide her exposed snow-white skin, she rubbed her eyes.
Last night, she watched "Dragon Family" and saw three o'clock in the evening, and finally finished reading all the drafts.
Her best field has always been romance novels, but for some reason, this book seems to have a magical power that has deeply attracted her as an older leftover girl in her thirties.
Looking at her slightly haggard appearance in front of the mirror, Ning Ying hurriedly put on an SK2 mask.
"Alas, a woman is over thirty years old, and she really gets old very quickly." She sighed, gently patted her white cheeks after applying the mask, walked barefoot to the edge of the sofa, and picked up the manuscript of the first three chapters on the ground.
She has made up her mind: This book, we Banyan Publishing House must take it!
Although Banyan Tree Publishing is thriving, she always believes that diversification is urgent.
Although romance novels are still booming, the market is getting smaller and smaller. Now is the era of online texts, and everyone prefers to read books on their mobile phones, which has a drastic impact on physical books.
And now a large number of novel websites have female frequencies, and the female authors in them write more straightforward than romance novels, and the content in them is more exciting, compared with these books, there are really no highlights of romance novels on the market.
What's more, romance novels have been popular for so many years, and everyone is also a little aesthetically fatigued. Readers are starting to become more discerning, books are becoming harder to sell, and in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer romance novels that have sold more than a million copies.
"Perhaps, this book will broaden the market of publishing houses." Ning Ying glanced at the draft of "Dragon Clan" and smiled slightly.
After rubbing some eye cream, Ning Ying began to put on makeup. After putting on a gray low-necked shirt and a skirt, she called Lu Xiaosu and informed him that she would come to the publishing house later, and we signed this book by Banyan Publishing House!
.......
"Hello, I'm looking for Ning Ying's editor-in-chief." Lu Xiaosu stood at the front desk.
"Do you have an appointment?" The little girl at the front desk couldn't help but glance at the big boy in front of her a few more times.
How long has it been since a male author has come to our publishing house? It's not that there aren't any men writing romance novels, it's just that the percentage is very small. What's more, the boy in front of him is quite good-looking.
"There is an appointment, my name is Lu Xiaosu, and Editor-in-Chief Ning Ying called me in the morning." Lu Xiaosu smiled politely.
"Okay, please come with me." The little girl took Lu Xiaosu to Ning Ying's office.
"Editor-in-chief, you have to ask Lu Xiaosu to come." She knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in." Ning Ying's voice came from inside.
The little girl helped Lu Xiaosu push the door open, and Lu Xiaosu saw Ning Ying sitting on a chair, she was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and her whole body exuded the unique smell of mature women.
"Sit down, Xiao Su." Ning Ying said kindly.
Lu Xiaosu was helpless, this elder-like tone made him a little speechless.
"Drink something?" Ning Ying said to Xiao Su on the road.
"No need Ning Ying, editor-in-chief, I'm not thirsty." Lu Xiaosu waved his hand.
Ning Ying smiled, took a sip of latte to herself, and said to Lu Xiaosu: "I'm in my thirties, you are only a high school student, just call me Aunt Ning." ”
Lu Xiaosu twitched in his heart, alas, after passing through the sequelae, he had to pretend to be tender every day, which was really sad.
However, pretending to be tender has long become a habit, he called Aunt Ning shyly, and then waited for her to speak obediently like a good student.
"I've read your novel, what can I say....." she hesitated for a moment and said, "Surprisingly good!" ”
Lu Xiaosu nodded, Jiangnan's writing skills are still extremely strong, coupled with the crazy digging and crazy ambush pen in this book, it is definitely fascinating.
"Although our Banyan Publishing House is mainly targeting the romance novel market, we still have a certain influence in the hearts of young people."
Ning Ying's words are actually a bit modest, and the status of Banyan Publishing House in the hearts of young people is completely behind Changhe Publishing House.
As long as you are a young person who reads romance novels, there is no one who has not heard of Banyan Tree Press.
There is even a saying among girls: Banyan tree products must be high-quality products!
"Do you want a share or a buyout?" Ning Ying didn't go around in circles, and directly faced Xiao Sudao.
She attaches great importance to the big boy in front of her, he is only eighteen years old!
What does eighteen mean? It means that his future has infinite possibilities!
When people are young, it is the time when Wensi is the most agile, he is only eighteen years old, and he still has time!
Lu Xiaosu thought for a while, and said directly: "I'll choose to share." ”
"Oh? Don't even ask me about the buyout price? Ning Ying took off her golden glasses and said.
She was going to give the big boy a good buyout price and not let him suffer.
"I believe in Aunt Ning, Aunt Ning shouldn't cheat me." Lu Xiaosu smiled, his smile still clean.
Ning Ying was a little puzzled, this big boy was really so confident in his books? Even a little crazy with confidence!
In fact, she doesn't know, Lu Xiaosu doesn't care at all, the royalty share you open is low, then I will change to a publishing house, and you don't have to.
Well, Lu Xiaosu is always so casual.
"Okay, otherwise, I won't apply with the people above, I can make my own decisions and give you a 12% share, what do you think?" Ning Ying bit her lip and spoke.
She really wants to be popular with this big boy.
Wonderful novels, amazing poetry, and handsome appearance, this big boy can be completely like an idol star!
You must know that Jiang Xinyan's level has always been average, why does Banyan Publishing House always praise her? It's not because he's good-looking!
Isn't it okay to write a novel to be popular? The fan economy is very profitable!
This Lu Xiaosu's conditions in all aspects are too good, so good that Ning Ying doesn't believe that he can't be popular!
What's more, if Banyan Publishing House wants to diversify its development, it must have good works that can be used, and the first shot must be fired!
And "Dragons" is a good choice.
She must establish a long-term cooperative relationship with this Lu Xiaosu, and she believes that this Lu Xiaosu can still be popular for many years! So she added an additional condition: follow-up novels should give priority to Banyan Press.
Lu Xiaosu was a little surprised, the 12% share was too high, the bottom line in his heart was 8%, and he was willing to sign after 8%.
Again, newcomers have no human rights. No matter how good your work is, it has not been verified by the market and is completely unconvincing.
Whether it's the earth or this plane, newcomers are generally 6%-10% royalty.
Publishers with a little conscience will generally offer a median price, which is 8%.
He glanced at Ning Ying, his eyes full of gratitude.
Of course, he was saying in his heart: "Is this mature woman pumping her brain?" ”
That's 12%! He had learned about this time and space, and only best-selling authors could enjoy a huge share! 8% of newcomers should burn incense and worship Buddha! His bottom line is 8%, and his goal is only 10%.
Of course, the proportion of individual gods is very perverted, but Lu Xiaosu is not qualified enough.
"Am I really that good-looking? Even my aunt will have an inexplicable crush on me? Could it be that she ...... to me" The narcissistic classmate Lu Xiaosu began to think crankily.
