I copied my daughter in the parallel world

Chapter 12 12. Signing a Contract
Gu Cheng is very grateful for the memory left by his predecessor, which allows him to face the world and all circles of friends seamlessly.

The situation in the literary world is also very serious. Gu Cheng analyzed it himself. The most beneficial situation for him is to stay in the literary circle.

Rather, my network is basically newspaper offices and publishing houses, and there are many literature-related occupations. If I take this path myself, I will naturally receive a lot of support.

It is not to say that there are no writers who can come out alone, but they are too rare in comparison.

Now it matters, Gu Cheng is not the kind of person who pretends to be lofty, so of course he used it directly.

He looks at the contract.

The remuneration above is very clear, the author can get 8% of the royalties for the publication of this book, how to express it?Calculated based on the circulation of 500,000 copies, the price of such books in bookstores is basically more than 20 yuan. Calculated at 8%, the writer can get 800,000 yuan in remuneration.

What's more, what the publishing house signed is only the simplified Chinese version of your book, and there will be translations and publications in other languages, and the writer can also get the corresponding manuscript fee.

Detective novels have always been a popular subject for film and television adaptations. Basically, the best-selling novels will be bought by film and television companies, and the adaptation rights are another source of income. There are also electronic copyrights, audio adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, and animation and manga adaptation rights. A copyright sale is income.

And there are no other restrictive clauses, generally speaking, it is a very superior treatment.

Because Gu Cheng is in this industry, he is very familiar with these benefits. Generally, new writers can get a fixed income, such as a thousand words, and have corresponding copyrights. Generally, new writers get 3%-8% , and the 8% given by Yu Qi is already the top newcomer treatment.

"We held a meeting and discussed it. The first publication will directly print 10 copies. Now the novels of this type are selling very well in the market, and your work is excellent, so we are very confident."

After listening to this, Gu Cheng carefully looked at the contract, confirmed that there were no traps, and signed his name directly.

The treatment Yu Qi gave him was great. Even if he changed to another publishing house, he would not be able to get this price. We are all friends, so there is nothing to argue about.

Moreover, the first printing is [-] copies, so he is really confident in himself. Gu Cheng knows that for ordinary newcomers, the first printing is only about [-] to [-] copies. If they sell well, they will print more.

"Happy cooperation, brother."

Gu Cheng handed the signed contract to Yu Qi, and stretched out his hand to the other party.

"Pleasant to work with."

Seeing that Gu Cheng directly signed the contract, Yu Qi was also full of smiles. As the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, he is not without competitors, and there are corresponding performance appraisals every year. This year, the benefits of their publishing house are not very good. decline.

If this situation continues, the editor-in-chief and the boss behind him will have no way to explain it, but the current literary world is like this, big-name writers are the treasures of every publishing house, and there is basically no possibility of digging .

Among the newcomers, there are very few outstanding works. He has signed more than a dozen writers this year. So far, the one who has sold the most is a writer who wrote sentimental youth literature, and he has only sold [-] copies. This is still a writer who is very handsome. , as a result of treating your own photo as the cover.

He already regarded Gu Cheng's work as his life-saving straw, so he directly gave him such a high salary. Now that he has won this project, he believes that his position will also be preserved.

Originally, the editor-in-chief Yu Qi didn't need to come forward to sign the contract, but who made the other party be his very good junior?

This is basically the smoothest contract he has ever signed. The process from taking out the contract to Gu Cheng signing it has been resolved in less than 10 minutes.

He met the most difficult writer, from negotiating the contract to the final signing, a total of two months passed, during which he negotiated the terms and conditions countless times, and finally signed the contract without changing a single word.

It caused headaches for their entire publishing house.

Then they chatted a few more words, Gu Cheng missed his daughter at home, so he offered to leave at the right time, Yu Qi also wanted to ask him to go to the bar to connect with each other, seeing that he really seemed to be busy, he had no choice but to give up.

"Junior brother, the reward for the first edition will be credited into your account tomorrow, remember to check it, I will arrange to confirm the cover as soon as possible, and we will contact you when the time comes."

Yu Qi yelled at Gu Cheng's back, and Gu Cheng responded with an OK gesture.

When Gu Cheng left the cafe, he didn't go home immediately, but went to the big supermarket near his home to do some shopping.

The doctor told him that in the first month of the newborn, you should basically not go out, because the baby's resistance is very poor, and various bodily functions have not yet fully developed, so it is very troublesome to have a cold or fever .

If you are sick, you should be very cautious with medication. Generally speaking, babies who are not full moon are very fragile, and parents should pay special attention.

He made up his mind that he wouldn't go out much this month, and he had to buy the necessary daily necessities.

Pushing the trolley, Gu Cheng strolled around the supermarket.

"Oatmeal? You can add milk for breakfast, buy some."

"Milk? You can also get a monthly subscription? Will it be delivered to your door every day? Order one."

"Vegetables, buy some, meat, buy some, toiletries, and toilet paper."

When Gu Cheng finished his purchases, his cart was already full.

"drip, drip, drip, drip"

The good-looking cashier lady scanned the pile of things in front of her one by one, and when the people queuing up behind Gu Cheng got impatient, it was finally over.

"Hello, there are five hundred and three in total. Do you need a bag?"

"Yes, and a membership card."

Gu Cheng took out the membership card in his wallet, because the supermarket is near his home, and Gu Cheng also applied for a membership card when it first opened, and every time he spends, he can accumulate a certain amount of points, and at the end of the year, he can exchange for many things Woolen cloth.

These are the ways of keeping the family in the previous life, so I was able to buy my own house and have savings at a young age.

Gu Cheng took the receipt from the cashier and a handful of change with coins, and once again complained in his heart about the inconvenience of this payment method.

In the previous life, it felt so comfortable to travel around the world with a mobile phone. Even buying a vegetable, you can scan the QR code to pay. The beggars on the roadside have kept pace with the times. code.

He frowned, endured the discomfort, sorted all the loose banknotes into his wallet, put the coins into another pocket, put away the cards, put the packed shopping bags into the cart, and pushed Came to the parking lot.

After returning the cart, I started the car and rushed to my home not far away.
