Chapter 29 "Poetry and the Sea I"

Chapter 29 "Poetry and the Sea I"

Yuan Huaying made a final decision and agreed to the request of reading the article. The magazine also changed its money-making strategy and directly published books for "Poetry and the Sea".

The editors were all very excited. They didn't do little to publish books, and they were considered veterans.

But it is unusual to publish a book for "Poetry and the Sea", its sales may explode, and it is very likely to trigger a book buying frenzy in the science fiction circle.

The sales volume is estimated to be in millions. After all, even the 101st issue of the magazine has sold nearly 20 copies, which is only [-] words of serialization.

"Reading makes money online, we make money offline, okay, let's start!" Liu Qiang was very motivated, and if it wasn't too late, he would contact Chuhe immediately.

But Yuan Huaying was still thinking, and Mr. Ye also started to think.

Liu Qiang was puzzled: "President, Mr. Ye, what are you thinking?"

"How is the copyright fee considered appropriate?" Mr. Ye replied, showing a wry smile, "I didn't expect to discuss the copyright fee with Chuhe now. I thought it would be after 50 words."

Copyright fees are a very sensitive thing. Even if the relationship between the editor and the author is good, both parties will try their best to pull it off.

If "Science Fiction World" wants to publish a physical book, it must be rushing to make a lot of money, so it must try to lower the price of Chuhe.

In case Chuhe opens his mouth aloud, there will be a copyright fee of tens of millions, and the magazine will vomit blood.

In fact, judging from the popularity of "Poetry and the Sea", tens of millions of copyright fees are worthwhile, but that will have to wait until the end of the book. Now it is the beginning of the new book, and it is impossible for a fool to pay tens of millions of copyright fees. Wan Du took a risk, who knows if the follow-up performance of "Poetry and the Sea" is worth investing in?
"It's really troublesome. If Chuhe's asking price is too high, we can't afford it, and the relationship will become stiff. This matter must be carefully considered to protect the interests of both parties." Yuan Huaying tapped her fingers on the table, as bold as she was at the moment. Not sure.

Even if a magazine can afford a high price, it doesn't mean it is willing to pay a high price.

Liu Qiang looked at Mr. Ye and Yuan Huaying, and said cautiously: "Are you thinking too much? I don't think Chu Xiaohe is like a greedy person. He has always expressed his gratitude to me and has never been arrogant."

Mr. Ye looked at him: "That's not the case when it comes to copyrights. Chu Xiaohe is now a great god. In front of money, there is nothing so easy to talk about."

Mr. Ye has been the editor-in-chief for ten years and has seen too many such things.

The magazine has worked so hard to cultivate a great master, but as a result, the great master has swelled up and demanded more thieves, as if he has revenge for killing his father with the magazine.

Once the bottom line of the magazine was touched, the talks between the two sides collapsed and they broke up unhappy.

Mr. Ye is most worried about breaking up on bad terms. If "Poetry and the Sea" runs away, all efforts will be in vain.

"Can we learn from the Internet and create a sharing model?" Yuan Huaying's eyes lit up suddenly.Several people looked at her in doubt: "What is the division pattern?"

"I came from reading literature. We don't pay copyright fees directly, but publish the book directly, and we get a [-]-[-] share of the money earned. This will ensure that the magazine will not lose money." Yuan Huaying showed an expression of interest, and had to She said that her thinking was so jumpy that she could even think of it.

"No magazine has done this before, and if it does, the author will be upset, right? If you don't pay first, how can they give you the copyright? This clearly shows that the author is cheating." Liu Qiang was the first to object.

This is too messy. It is estimated that except for Yuan Huaying, no other president will do this. She has messed up the publishing model of physical books.

"Liu Qiang, you can hit Chu Xiaohe tomorrow and have a good talk. It will take half a month." Yuan Huaying was not in a hurry, clapped his hands to end the meeting, and took his time.

"Yes." Liu Qiang felt a little uneasy, Chu Xiaohe is his thigh, don't talk about it, it's better for the president to abandon the sharing model.

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

Chuhe was running and exercising on the beach, exercising against the sea breeze, sweating all over his body.

Then he went to take a bath, and went upstairs to call Su Muyan: "Su Muzhu, get up and draw."

"What did you call me?" Su Muyan opened the door with sleepy eyes, and there was a cold light in his half-opened eyes.

"I call you Su Muyan." Chu He was puzzled, "Why are you angry?"

"Really? Why does it feel like you're scolding me? Go away, I still have to sleep." Su Muyan refused to get up.

"You're going to graduate next month, right? You obviously came to me to learn how to draw, but you end up playing games and sleeping late every day. You still want to surprise everyone with your skills?" Chu He asked with squinting eyes.

Su Muyan snapped: "What's the rush? With my talent, I can learn it in a few days. I've had enough sleep and I'm going to find my sister. She may not be in a good mood. I'm going to accompany her. I won't draw today."

She slammed the door shut.

What a hardworking girl.

Chuhe shook his head and went back to the bedroom.

Since Su Muyan is lazy, then he doesn't have to bother himself, let's check the book online.

As soon as he logged into the chat software, the editor Liu Qiang's information came.

"Mr. Chu, are you there?" This message was followed by a smiling face.

Chuhe immediately felt that something was wrong. It was impossible for an old editor like Liu Qiang to "make routine". He was always straightforward.

In fact, in industries such as editing, people hate asking "Are you there?" Everyone just talks about things directly, and then leaves, waiting for the other party to reply.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Chuhe asked.

"Haha, it's like this. Have you followed China Literature? Your book is so popular that China Literature requires us to update it every day." Liu Qiang's tone revealed a cautious tone.

Chuhe blinked, daily update?

"Okay, I agree." Chuhe has no reason to refuse. He feels a little guilty towards the readers now, and he longs for daily updates.

"That's fine, we will arrange professionals to update it for you, don't worry haha, have you eaten yet?" Liu Qiang asked again.

Ok?Have you got a meal yet?

Chuhe scratched his head, what happened to Liu Qiang?
In the editorial department, a group of people surrounded Liu Qiang, and Mr. Ye was also there.

A few people were speechless, and Mr. Ye patted Liu Qiang: "You are talking about the scheduled publication, what are you doing?"

"What are you afraid of? We don't owe him anything, so just say it." The other editors also urged.

Liu Qiang's old face was twitching, and you urged me to say that if the negotiation fails, it will be my responsibility.

"Ahem, Mr. Ye, please come and sit down." Liu Qiang got up and gave up the throne.

Mr. Ye pushed him back: "No need, old Liu, I trust you, we have agreed to treat you to eat crayfish tonight."

Eat your sister!

Liu Qiang cursed secretly in his heart, he was definitely going to take the blame.

At this time, Chuhe responded: "Editor, just tell me if you have anything to say, we are all friends."

Chuhe's words are very warm.

Several editors even urged Liu Qiang: "Say it quickly."

Liu Qiang typed hard: "It's like this, because "Poetry and the Sea" will be serialized every day, so "Science Fiction World" magazine is considered scrapped. We plan to publish a physical book for you, "Poetry and the Sea Ⅰ", a total of 20 Ten thousand words, I see you have 18 words, just reached a big climax..."

Liu Qiang said a lot, but did not talk about copyright fees.

Chuhe himself didn't pay attention to the copyright fee. He was quite pleasantly surprised to hear the news.

Are you going to publish a book?

Chu He loves "Poetry and the Sea" deeply. He is both the author and the reader, and he is the person who can understand "Poetry and the Sea" best.

It would be great to be able to publish a book.

"Okay, you can decide everything, thank you." Chuhe responded straightforwardly.

The editorial department, Liu Qiang and others were stunned, so this is it?

 There will be another update around [-] o'clock tonight, and I have rewarded [-] starting coins for the update, thank you everyone~
