My rebirth is different

Chapter 93 Who Gets It ([-] Recommendations Plus Updates)
"Teachers, let's not be in a hurry to talk about royalties. I want to hear about your promotion plan for this book."

Yu Wenfei said unhurriedly.

Li Yaqin wanted to interrupt a few times just now, but she didn't have a chance to speak. Now she finally seized the opportunity, and said quickly: "Yes! Yu Wenfei is still a newcomer, whether he can make great efforts to promote it is the key!"

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue looked at each other, a little surprised. I didn't expect that Yu Wenfei, at such a young age, would be able to be calm when encountering major events, and grasp the key points at once.

Publishing books, royalties are of course important, which is related to what percentage of the money you can get.

However, this requires a prerequisite. If the book sells well, of course, the higher the royalty, the more you will get.

But if the book can't be sold, the royalties will be 90.00% for you, so what!

Whether a book can sell well depends on many factors.

Whether the author itself has enough popularity and appeal is the key. For many famous authors, every time a new book is not released, the major newspapers and media have already done overwhelming publicity.

And these promotions are not paid promotions, they belong to "tap water"!
This is the influence of the writer itself!
Another key factor is the promotion efforts of the publishing house.

For a new writer like Yu Wenfei, this promotion is even more critical.

Because he is just a fledgling, he does not have much popularity and influence, nor does he have enough die-hard fans.

It can be said that if the promotion is strong enough, it is likely to become an instant hit and the novel will sell well.

If the promotion is not strong enough, it may be a bad start, submerged in the sea of ​​books, and there will be no waves.

"I will discuss this promotion plan with the leaders of the publishing house when I go back, but I can guarantee that we will include your book as one of the key projects of the publishing house this year!"

Hu Yan replied cautiously.

This matter can't be talked about nonsense, let's not talk about it beyond his authority, even if he is optimistic about Yu Wenfei, but Yu Wenfei is only a high school student after all, and he just took the lead in the new concept competition.

It is impossible for the publishing house to invest too much resources in him, at least not before the results are released!

Dong Xiaoxue also put away her smile. She thought for a while before making up her mind.

"I don't have the right to be the master of things in the club, but personally, I will treat your book as the most important project of my personal this year. Fight for your book to the maximum." This is my promise to you!"

This is a bit heavy to say, everyone here is considered a literati.

Pay attention to a face and promise, since Dong Xiaoxue said such a thing, she must honor it.

Otherwise, if it spreads in the circle, which writer would dare to cooperate with her in the future.

Yu Wenfei is not the kind of mother-in-law, and these two editors now represent one of the largest publishing houses in China.

He didn't have time to write for too long, and he was going back to Chen county to continue his classes in two days, so he couldn't stay in the magic city all the time.

So he threw out his thoughts directly.

"How about it, two teachers. As for the royalties, I only want [-]%!"

Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue thought they heard it wrong, and looked at Yu Wenfei in astonishment.

What do you mean, the [-]% and [-]% royalties I promised were not given, but instead I took the initiative to lower them, which has never happened before.

In the past, when discussing cooperation with those writers, everyone wished that the royalties could be as high as possible. Let alone a percentage point, even [-]% would be entangled for a long time.

"The royalties have been lowered, but I want enough promotion! I took the initiative to lower the royalties so that you can go back and help me get more promotion support." Yu Wenfei explained.

Seriously, the first book, he didn't expect to make much money from it.

A book is priced at 20 yuan, and the [-]% royalty is two yuan.

Even if the sales exceed one million, what he can get is 200 million, which is still pre-tax income.

It's a little short, that is, it's only 2 yuan short.

If the publishing house is a bit darker and signs a royalty share based on the wholesale price, then the income will be even lower.

Such a small amount of money, Yu Wenfei didn't like it.

The reason why he publishes books is to make money incidentally, and more importantly, to be famous!
Therefore, he would rather reduce the royalties in exchange for greater promotion by the publishing house.

If the promotion is strong, more books will be sold, and if more books are sold, there will be more fans. If there are more fans, then naturally it will become famous!

What's more, in this way, it may not make less money.

The principle of small profits but quick turnover is applicable everywhere.

…………

Both Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue nodded, since Yu Wenfei is so sensible, then things will be easy to handle.

Without paying higher royalties, the publishing house will also be willing to give greater promotion support, because the profit of the publishing house is higher, and the more you sell, the more you will earn.

This is a win-win situation.

"Okay! Then I'll discuss it with the leaders of the club immediately after I go back, and come up with a plan tomorrow."

Hu Yan said bluntly.

"Me too, wait for my good news tomorrow!"

Dong Xiaoxue is not to be outdone.

The two each took the manuscript and left in a hurry.

After the two left, Li Yaqin said tongue-tiedly, "This... is this the end of the talk?"

Yu Wenfei stood up, stretched his body, and replied with a smile: "Otherwise?"

"You have to come and talk with me for a long time. This is publishing a novel! It has a lot to do with it."

"Ha, it's okay, don't we have to talk tomorrow. The conditions are almost enough. These two are big publishing houses, and it is more at ease to cooperate with them."

Yu Wenfei's attitude is more casual, but Hu Yan and Dong Xiaoxue's attitude is very serious.

As editors in charge, their biggest duty is to discover good writers and books.

This time I met such a "diamond mine" as Yu Wenfei, how could I take it lightly.

So, after returning to the unit, I went to the leader directly with the manuscript.

…………

"Editor-in-Chief, I am more optimistic about Yu Wenfei, a young author. In the New Concept Composition Contest that just ended, he was exceptionally awarded the special prize. Teacher Wu Dan from Peking University and Teacher Xu from Fudan University are rushing to recruit him!"

Hu Yan made a big fuss for Yu Wenfei.

But the editor-in-chief was unmoved, and just asked him: "Well-written short articles do not mean that long-form articles are well-written. Got it. I just want to ask you, do you like this book? How many copies are you expected to sell?"

Hu Yan opened his mouth, became ruthless, and reported a number, "Seven to eight million! This is the first year's sales, and the total sales should exceed one million!"

Only then did the editor-in-chief get serious. He took the manuscript on the desk and flipped through it.

I just read the title of the book, and my reaction was the same as that of Hu Yan, frowning.

But the title is not important, but the content is important, so he continued to read.

After about 5 minutes, the editor-in-chief stopped reading without reading the entire content.

Because he already understood the general style, writing style, and story of the book.
