Another World Under My Pen

On January 28th, the new list of writers was announced.

The veteran reasoning writer Zhong Liangqing topped the list with last year’s big-selling "Wang Chen Detective Anthology" series, while the well-known female writer June Hua ranked second. The annual sales of books under their names both exceeded 10 million. No need.

As for the third place...

If it were not for the huge drive of "Frozen" at the beginning of the year, the sales of Laobai's picture books in the West have soared several times, and the domestic TV series and game adaptation rights of the Condor Shooting Trilogy have all been sold, and various peripheral income has also begun. If there is a big increase, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep this third position!

Lao Bai, who has not published a book for almost two years, said that he is satisfied to be ranked third.

"Is that satisfied? Really hopeless!"

Lin Lin, who was a cousin, immediately expressed serious disdain for the idea of ​​her own brother.

Zheng Jia, who was next to him, pointed his head frequently, and said, "That's right, if you publish two more books last year and this year, you might be able to win three consecutive championships... I have checked it, China’s best It is Zhuge Qing's two consecutive championships, if it were three consecutive championships, it would be a record!"

"Hey, you think it's so easy to set a record!"

Leaning lazily on the sofa, Sun Peng was immediately happy.

By the way, why did he rank first last time? Isn't it because the Chinese martial arts culture just got hot at that time? Sun Peng had already saved seven or eight sets of martial arts novels that year, and they were all the most classic ones on the earth, and the addition of "Longmen Inn" allowed fans to see a different world of kung fu...

But after years of rapid expansion of the number of fans, it has slowly stabilized.

It is certainly unrealistic to replicate the golden age of martial arts on earth.

The times are different. Even if martial arts novels are extremely new to people in this world, after all, this is an era full of flowers. Various novels, TV and movie works are extremely rich, and martial arts is just one category. For example, China's science fiction, reasoning and other types of novels have developed very rapidly in recent years. Zhong Liangqing, who ranked first this year, is the most typical representative of them.

Perhaps with the passage of time, when martial arts TV series and martial arts movies mature a little bit and begin to show off on large and small screens, the sales of martial arts novels will further increase, but it will take time to settle!

Of course, the more important thing is the emergence of more outstanding martial arts authors and fine novels!

Just relying on the seven or eight sets of books moved by Sun Peng himself, it is a fantasy to support martial arts culture. If you really want to make it completely, in addition to the next strong offensive in TV series, movies, comics and even games, it is more important to have a series of boutique martial arts! Just like on the earth, besides Jin Guliang, there are hundreds of martial arts novelists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Later, countless fans in the mainland also turned to codewords to contribute to martial arts culture...

So now that there are tens of millions of iron fans, Sun Peng is already very content.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things."

At this moment, Sun Ya, who had been looking at her little book silently, waved her hand suddenly, interrupting Lin Lin and Zheng Jia who wanted to continue speaking, and looked at Sun Peng and said, "Xiao Peng, the focus now is on you. The new book! The publication of "Han Bo and Lingshi" has not yet been confirmed. If it is delayed, we may not see the book in March and April!"

"Oh? What did the two publishing houses say?"

With a raised eyebrow, Sun Peng asked with a smile.

"The two are the same, and the maximum drive is seventeen points."

After twisting her neck, Sun Ya said calmly, "Shuxiang Publishing House promised to print 1.5 million copies for the first time, which is a lot higher than the one million in that house. Something is not enough...The current price of Guanglun is 20% royalties, and 800,000 copies are first printed!"

When he heard this, Lin Lin's eyes lit up: "Guanglun Publishing House? It sounds like a famous name?"

Zheng Jia had obviously studied it, and immediately blinked his eyes and replied: "Of course, Hikari is indeed a comprehensive large society, and its strength is probably not worse than that of scholarship! By the way, that ranked second this year. June Flower, all previous books were published in Guanglun, and I just switched jobs the year before last!"

Nodded, Sun Ya confirmed: "Jia Jia is right, the strength of the light wheel is indeed strong enough, and because of the June Flower hopping, now there is an urgent need for a big cow to support the scene, so I will offer you two The conditions for royalties! You know, there are only three or five writers who can get this ratio in China!"

"Tsk tusk, isn't our Xiaopeng not qualified?"

Hearing Lin Lin's disapproving voice, Sun Ya frowned and said: "If Xiaopeng publishes martial arts novels this time, not to mention the urgent need for the light wheel of big-name writers, I am afraid that scholars will dare to pay 20% of the royalties. Sales are guaranteed. But what he wrote this time was children's literature...what do you think?"

20% of royalties means that the publishers themselves do not have much profit margins.

You must know that publishers cannot directly sell books to readers by themselves. They are often through physical distributors or online bookstores. At this time, they usually supply goods to distributors at 50% to 40% off. In the book payment of this 50% or 40% off income, taxes and fees, editing and printing costs, and costs must be deducted. After deducting management, publicity and other expenses, there is not much left. If you give Sun Peng another 20%...

After listening to the second sister’s explanation, Zheng Jia squinted his eyes and said with a smile: “Then this is a simple multiple-choice question-two publishing houses with similar strengths have lower royalties, but cooperation is more enjoyable on the one hand. The number of the first print of 1.5 million is very sincere; although the royalties of Guanglun are high, the first print is only half of others, and the risk of initial cooperation is relatively high!"

After speaking, Zheng Jia looked at Sun Peng.

"..."

When the eyes of the three people floated to him at the same time, Sun Peng said that he was under a bit of pressure, and his expression suddenly sank: "Hey, are you two more free now? I'm discussing this with my second sister. That's it, what fun are you two laymen following?"

"Cut, we are not idle, we are very idle!"

Rolling his eyes, Zheng Jia said angrily: "This is about to celebrate the Chinese New Year, isn't everyone doing nothing... Hurry up, tell me which one you prefer!"

After finally having the opportunity to blend in, Zheng Jia and Lin Lin are both very interested.

"I do not mind."

With a helpless sigh, Sun Peng turned his eyes to the second sister's direction: "Sister, what do you think? Anyway, each has its own advantages, I think it will do."

Although I tend to continue to cooperate with Shuxiang, Sun Peng is also very excited about Guanglun's 20% split.

For Sun Ya, the answer to this multiple-choice question is very simple: "Okay, then cooperate with Guanglun! Twenty percent of royalties, which is only a treatment for top writers... If scholars are not willing to give it, then Let's start again! Anyway, what you wrote this time is not a martial arts novel, basically it has no effect!"

From the perspective of the agent, let's not talk about how much the three-point royalty gap means, just the 20-point leader Sun Ya feels that it must be won!

and……

"Hikari is a big company, no problem!"

After blinking his eyes, Sun Ya continued with a smile: "Although the number of first prints is slightly less, the publicity promised by others is not compromised at all! So next..."

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

Just halfway through Sun Ya's words, the doorbell of Sun Peng's house was rang.

"Sister Chang, she should be here."

There was no need to look at the monitor at all, and Sun Peng had already stood up.

After going out to open the door, Liu Chang followed Sun Peng to the living room at home, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Oh, what day is it today, why are you here?"

"Second sister came to me to talk about the new book, as for her... came to me to play games!"

Pointing to his cousin Lin Lin, Sun Peng said with a yawn.

Seeing Lin Lin pouting and angry, Liu Chang smiled. She also knows that this girl likes to play the game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds very much, and she also likes to go to the boss’s house to play, so it’s not surprising that she quickly said, “Okay, it’s business, Oscar and Grammy awards Are you going or not? The final deadline is coming soon."

Since Liu Chang's assistant job got on track, a lot of the work of the original agent has been handed over to her.

"The filming of "Assassin League" is about to start, and the Oscar is not going."

After thinking for a while, Sun Peng waved his hand and smiled: "However, if Grammys are concerned, I still have to go around. Tomorrow I will go to Luo Ge and make an appointment with him. As for Oscar, I have no relationship with me. What's the problem, not even a guest of honor, it's far from the Grammys, what am I going to do?"

Luo Cheng is definitely a big winner in this year’s Grammys. Sun Peng’s absence is not appropriate, but Oss’ words...

Gee, just go to the red carpet to show your face?

Sun Peng is not the celebrities who are rubbing the red carpet, and he has no interest at all!

And in his opinion, the Oscar organizing committee is too thief. Just thinking about inviting Sun Peng to participate, it instantly attracted a wave of attention from his fans, but he didn't even give a place for the awarding guest. Compared with them, Grammys must be at least more sincere. In addition to the nomination for the best producer award, there is also a heavyweight best female singer award guest status!

"Uh, it's actually normal."

After blinking his eyes, Liu Chang smiled and said, "Don’t say anything else. Just the dozens of English songs from Luo and Chen have established your status as a world-class musician. You must be qualified, qualified, and capable, but Oscar’s words... I’m afraid you still need to accumulate."

"So, just don't go!"

"Okay, I understand."

Although a little regretful, Liu Chang nodded quickly and said: "There is another new thing to tell you, that is, the new China Entertainment Power Rankings has just been released. This time, you are the boss. I'm in a high position..."
