Zhao Han Lin Han looked surprised look, clearly do not believe this beautiful beauty actually is his agent, thought it was a cunning man, and now after seeing Chen Jiaxuan appearance, he would relax up, young brokers on behalf of no experience.
"Zhao total Hello, I'm John's literary agent, now fully responsible for his condition brokerage literature." Chen Jiaxuan smiled and reached out, she already has plans, who despise their own people, we can all eat a lot deficit.
"Chen Hello, Kobayashi but a potential type of writer, you have to help him tap the value of the business above is better than this."
Lin Han Liu with two men looked at each other, then completely into the theater mode, see here how old fox confrontation with the status of a small fox.
Chen Jiaxuan will show up the phone, "I have been told before," "complete editorial discussion, they agreed to let the" science fiction world, I, Robot, "the novel were serialized in magazines, and now after the contract has been reviewed by our legal department of the studio the price is a commercial secret, I can not tell, but it is definitely masters-level price. so we think this book has the potential selling 5% royalty somewhat difficult to accept. "
"To be honest, the book market now above science fiction is not a lot, a lot of books printed has produced poor sales behavior, we can not guarantee that this book will be able to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, it is more careful in printing the above, the first Indian only give fifty thousand level. "Zhao Han began to keep the prices down, he did not want to press their own profits thin out, unless it is famous sequel, or any book on the first printing are more cautious.
"Sam, we do not say Ming dark, in fact, I have also come across some private publishers, they also have seen the manuscript, but we chose not to sign. Not every publishing house called Renmin University Press their Distribution channel sales range with far less compared with you. you must also read the book too, if only to sell fifty thousand, then it might as well not signed publishing it, save trouble. "
Lin Han Chen Jiaxuan high spirits turned to look at her pretty shot from the side shimmering in the sun, delicate skin seems to see little pores, serious look very attractive to the eye.
Zhao Han gently coughed, he also knows his own director of Renmin University Press - Volkswagen book publishing center piece has been for some time no published science fiction, so in terms of attempts will be very cautious, does not allow too much error.
Why Lin Han Chen Jiaxuan told the two men would give up negotiations with other publishers, and select it with the NPC press?
The reason is simple, it is because the NPC Press represents the mainstream of literature, its position in the domestic publishing industry really is not the kind of chipping away other publishers, many students use textbooks are even printed Renmin University Press , and if "I, robot" that can be published by the publishing house sales, it represents Lin Han officially entered the ranks of writers, approved publishing circles.
This board with the "Selected Novels" has the same purpose, no longer confine themselves to a small range.
"I actually have not held formal evaluation, we are publishing process did not finish,I just do not want to miss such a good novel. "Zhao Han smiled, began to change from the attitude to take the warmth route.
However, Chen Jiaxuan not buy it, this Royalty low, she did not accept, that was published at the Lin Han - women make, do not say you want to become an overnight success, but at least it can not hold back.
So, Chen Jiaxuan took a sip of tea, she smiled and said:. "I did not expect enthusiast Sam is science fiction, and if you book in publishing, then surely you'll be the first to read the whole story of people and like most people understand the science fiction science fiction, science fiction discrimination against others, you do not want to reverse their views on the meaning of it? What is the quality of this book, for science fiction fans and non-science fiction fans and what it means, only you most clearly. "
"Gee, you can be Chen is not relent ah, so be it, 6% is my biggest concessions, I can not give a higher figure because sales of science fiction is indeed unsatisfactory, unless it can be affected."
Lin Han heard this, he could not help but raised his mouth, before he told Chen Jiaxuan discussed this issue in the message inside, and now finally here.
Chen Jiaxuan already prepared answers, she smiled and spoke and said: "Sam, since you do not trust sales, while our side can not accept low royalties, why not compromise and select Royalty stepped it?"
"Royalty ladder?" Zhao Han touched his watch, he fell into a thinking which, it seems to really be a good solution.
The so-called stepped Royalty accordance with the agreement refers to sales volume to adjust the royalty rate, such as sales royalties less than 50,000 is how much, in time for the 100 000 number, more than 500,000 is the number again, these more flexible, suitable have confidence in their people.
Bystander, Liu has been silent spectators in the next, he had to admire Chen Jiaxuan practice, obviously you want to start a stepped royalties, but chose not to say, step by step towards the development side, not rash.
After thinking about Zhao Han, found that this indeed is the way to solve the problem of medicine, "This method is good, let's talk specifically about it."
"Well, we signed a publishing deal with your club just simplified the copyright, if there are electronic sales, we will be a separate charge royalties in accordance with a common scale, you see how?"
"It's no problem, we are not in English or Traditional Chinese, as we read in the electronic copyright watercress through e-books, Amazon and other places shelves, sales do not leave, with 30% of sales to pay royalties."
Electronic version of the cost is very low, almost attached to the publication of the above simplified
, The authors can directly get 30%, the rest is between publishers with site points to, which is basically a universal scale.
Chen Jiaxuan not have any comments on this, she took out a piece of paper and drew up a ladder pattern, and then at the bottom, wrote: "If the first print run of 50,000, the final sales 100,000 or less, then we take 5 % royalty. If the first printed 100,000, total sales of less than 200,000, we shall take an 8 percent royalty. when the total sales in the 500,000 or less,According to a 10% royalty. If sales of more than 500,000, I calculated in accordance with the requirements of 12%, more than 1 million proceeds of 15%. "
"Chen, you are too much out of this, I can not promise now sold more than one million a lot of writers do not enjoy 15% of the royalties, we can only give publishers 13 percent."
The world of book sales are very high, from "Science Fiction World" ** usually sell one hundred thousand will be able to know the overall level, so that the standard is set by Chen Jiaxuan in wild speculations.
Zhao Han have to do is sit pay back the money, the two of you come to me to fight the negotiations, it took a while before finally stopped.
"Now we have reached a consensus? 200,000 at 5% or less, according to Wan 20-50 8% royalties, according to 10% 50-100, 100-200 ten thousand 12% 200 14% above unity. You have no objection right? "Zhao Han rubbed his sweat on his forehead, talking with young people really tired.
Chen Jiaxuan smiled, she smiled and said:. "No objection trophies Sam cooperation to help us make the Press has published, it is simply the most wonderful thing."
"You Xiao Nizi too much, no wonder you let Kobayashi as his literary agent." Zhao Han finally exhaled, he shook hand with Lin Han, "Come write, I would like to see early end of the story. "
Lin Han stood up, he smiled and said:. "No problem, go back to the start, happy to cooperate."
"Pleasant cooperation, tomorrow I will mail a formal contract to give you, lawyers looked after, we'll sign a contract. Kobayashi, you can not let people our editorial department to Cuigao ah, they have Cuigao 108 style, I bet you do not want to try. "
"Do not worry Sam, I now have a good idea, just wait to go back peremptorily written, absolutely give you before New Year's Day, the quality will not be lower than previously."
Lin Han have the confidence to complete the quality and quantity of the novel, he is just looking forward to since last royalty income, which may at least have to wait a long time for the job, after all, is paid in accordance with the sales, pre-sales did not have to take out money.
Fortunately, "Science Fiction World" abnormal generous side, gave him royalties thousand words 2500, the future of every month several thousand words of fiction published in the above, this at least ensures Lin Han income.
