Daily American Drama

　　 Random House.

　　 Chief Editor's Office.

　　 "A share of 4%?"

　　 Adam frowned: "Mr. Cerf, as far as I know, the average share of novels is 6% to 14%. Even if I am a newcomer, it shouldn’t be less than 6%, right?

　　 What's more, you have also read this book of mysteries. The quality is far superior to ordinary newcomers. Otherwise, you won't be interested. What do you mean by giving 4%? "

　　 "Rookie get 6%?"

　　 Jack Cerf cursed in his heart that he most hates this kind of newcomer who is prepared to investigate beforehand. It's not easy to lie, but after all he is an old fox, and his face is still calm.

　　 "Who said that? Impossible! How can a newcomer come up with a 6% share? The newcomer is not well-known, and the distribution depends on the channel of the publishing house.

　　In this case, the risks are all on the publishing house, and do you know how high the cost of building and maintaining channels for publishing houses is?

　　 Of course, if you are very confident in your book and feel that you can achieve great success without relying on the resources of the publishing house, then publish it at your own expense, so you can indeed get a high share. "

　　 "……"

　　 Adam's mouth twitched, speechless, what a familiar and powerful logic.

　　 Who is more important when the author writes the book and publishes it by the publisher?

　　 The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

　　 Authors naturally think that the quality of the book plays the most important role. After all, the readers are looking for the book. Without the hard work of the authors to write the book, can your publishing house be able to afford it?

　　 Now that your publishing house is up, you can comfortably make money with a rake, but you are still not satisfied? Want more?

　　 is simply not giving the authors a way to survive.

The publishing house believes that this is the era when channel traffic is king. With channel traffic in hand, no matter how trash the book is, it can be artificially popular. In this case, hiring an author to be a gunman for the publishing house is far more rewarding than cooperation between the two parties. Control and save costs.

　　 Mouth cannon is indistinguishable, and in the end it depends on the strength.

　　 The result is naturally the logical victory of the publisher!

　　 Even if Adam knew that the other party was sophistry, he was speechless.

　　 Fortunately, in this era of the United States, no publishing house can dominate and control all channel resources.

　　 Even if all publishing houses have an attitude towards newcomers, it is the money rule of the publishing industry to squeeze as much as possible, but so many publishing houses can't be of one mind.

　　 Adam believes that with the quality of the master of mystery, certain publishing houses can definitely be impressed and let them dare to take a risk.

　　Risk and return are directly proportional.

　　 Give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

　　 In the country where money is king, there is absolutely no shortage of people who dare to take such risks.

　　 This is how Adam dared to say no to Jack Cerf, the editor-in-chief of one of New York's top publishing houses!

　　 If this is not the case, unless he insists on not publishing, he still has to obediently sign a sales agreement and reluctantly sell his ‘son’, which he has worked hard day and night, to others.

　　 "Mr. Duncan, this is the rule, it's the same everywhere."

　　 Jack Cerf smiled in his heart when he saw Adam speechlessly. This is the benefit of ‘providing the way with force’. Anything that is unreasonable, a punch is justified.

　　"Of course, if Mr. Duncan is willing to sign the full copyright of the Master of Mystery to the publishing house, the percentage can be given according to the average old author. How about 10%?

　　 At that time, the publishing house will invest more propaganda resources on the Lord of Mysteries, and the possibility of success will be greater. As an author, you will get higher profits.

　　 This is definitely the best choice for newcomers.

　　 Don’t focus on this pure Yin work. After you become famous, you won’t have such a dilemma when you write a book. This is a necessary sacrifice before you become famous.

　　 is not only the publishing industry, it's the same in every industry!

　　Mr. Duncan, you are a high-achieving student in Columbia University, and you can write novels. Naturally, you are a smart person. You should know that this is the operating rule of society.

　　 Since you can't resist the social rules, you should enjoy it. "

　　 "Enjoy a ghost."

　　 Adam complained in his heart, but smiled perfunctorily: "Mr. Cerf makes sense..."

　　 "Mr. Duncan agreed?"

　　 Jack Cerf was overjoyed, but the smile on his face became more professional, with an expression of ‘you made a wise choice’.

　　 "Let me think about it again."

　　 Adam smiled.

Just kidding, he has a detailed life goal plan. Writing novels is just a wild flower to choose from on the roadside. It is cool to read novels. Writing novels is a headache. If nothing happens, the master of this mystery will be his. The first novel in my life and the last novel.

　　 The first book became famous, and later it made a lot of money. Jack Cerf said it was reasonable, but what does it have to do with him?

　　Furthermore, writing a novel is not the more you write, the better.

　　 Many writers, their debut is the pinnacle!

　　Because the first novel is really their inspiration and dream work, it is very spiritual, once it is sold at a low price, it may not be written such a spiritual and quality novel in a lifetime.

　　 Most of the time I spent my whole life, I would like to reach the pinnacle of my life by relying on the books that have been seriously degraded in the back, and only in my dreams.

　　 This kind of trap, even if you know it, you can’t explain it clearly, because the publisher also has ‘irrefutable things’ to say: Don’t you have confidence in yourself?

　　A writer is a person in the literary and art world, who is very face-to-face~www.readwn.com~ and you don’t have confidence in yourself, what do you want others to think of you?

　　 But all of this has nothing to do with Adam. He can choose to withdraw at any time. He doesn't rely on talent to eat. It's not a big deal, so he is extra calm.

　　 Jack Cerf's mouth twitched again.

　　 Damn, is it so difficult for newcomers now?

　　 According to his set of ‘incontrovertible truth’, he shouldn’t sign an agreement in a hurry.

　　 He knows how eager the newcomer authors are to release their books, especially the first pure Yin works. That is the light of dreams calling them.

　　What the **** is Adam Duncan in front of you?

　　 didn't have the consciousness and impulse to suffocate dreams at all. It looked like a newcomer, and the old fritters were about the same.

　　 But getting on the pole is not a business. As the editor-in-chief of a big publishing house, even if he is optimistic about the potential of the master of mystery, he will not easily let go of the proportion of interests that matter.

　　 After all, potential is potential, and risks still exist.

　　 Over the years, he thinks that the works that have potential but finally hit the street are not one or two.

"of course can."

　　 Jack Cerf figured it out, determined to crush Adam, shook hands with Adam, and opened the door for Adam gracefully: "Welcome to come here anytime."

　　 Just as Adam turned to leave, a woman walked over the corridor, followed by an editor with a smile on her face, and vaguely heard the words ‘3.8 million copies, too amazing’.

　　 Blond hair with big waves, tight-fitting small suit.

　　 fascinating, not old like this milf.

　　 Adam used to only know the beauty of delicate flowers, but now when he meets him, he suddenly realizes what is called amorous feelings!
