Chapter Thirty-Four
Mo Zhuosi remembered that his works were published at the New Generation Literature Ceremony, and the copyright seemed to be entrusted.
He was not very clear, either. The text message might be a fraud, saying that he would buy his own copyright, but how much he had to pay first.
Such scams have not been reported in the news, so Mo Zhuosi was cautious and searched the number of text messages online in the future.
This search really pops up useful information.
"Donghai Culture Publishing House Submission Tel: 550955728 (Su Xiaodong)"
There are also many other information, including some forums for writing books, which have posted this phone number.
Mo Zhuosi directly found the official website of Donghai Culture. He had a great consultation phone number on the submission hotline, and also saw Su Xiaodong and the phone number.
It seems that it is not a scam.
Mo Zhuosi took a breath, with an excited look on his face, publishing?
I actually wrote a book by myself and reached this level?
Although the threshold for publication this year is simply too low, it is still an unexpected surprise for him.
At this time, Mo Zhuo thought about dialing the other party's phone number, and then he found that the phone had been blocked five times in the blocked phone number.
This is also a mistake!
Maybe how many opportunities you missed.
He lifted the whitelist anti-harassment mode and took the initiative to call Su Xiaodong.
Dou-Dou-Dou-Dou
"Hello, who?"
"Hello, I'm Mo Zhuosi. I just received your text message."
Su Xiaodong immediately put down his work and said excitedly: "I don't know if Mr. Mo has time now."
"You said!" Mo Zhuosi turned on the amplification and started eating noodles.
"It's like this. I saw your work on the New Generation Literature website, I..."
Before Su Xiaodong could finish speaking, he heard the sound of sucking noodles on the phone, and he suddenly had goose bumps.
this……
Mo Zhuosi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Continue?"
"Ahem!" Su Xiaodong cleared his throat and continued: "Your work has been reviewed by several of our screenwriters. I think it is very marketable. I heard that you are still the moderator of the comment column."
As a result, another sucking sound came over.
"Well, can Mr. Mo be more serious?" Su Xiaodong finally couldn't help it.
Mo Zhuosi raised his eyebrows slightly, am I very serious?
OK!
I won't eat that noodles for now.
"Okay, what should I do? I remember the copyright of the novel is here, but you should have to negotiate with the new generation!" Mo Zhuosi picked up his phone and asked.
"That's right. Have you signed a related contract with the new generation?" Su Xiaodong asked.
Mo Zhuosi remembered it very clearly that there was no contract, only a lot of release instructions before it was released.
"No!"
Su Xiaodong said excitedly: "That's fine. We can communicate directly. If it is a publisher that the new generation has found for you, they need to share a part of it."
In fact, this is also such a positive reason for Su Xiaodong. The lower the cost, the more he earns.
"That's right, there are two types of copyrights for publishing. One is that we undertake printing promotion, and then we will share the manuscript fee for each work sold."
"Other way is to buy out the price, for example, just give a number to buy out the paper copyright of your work. As for how much it sells, it's our business."
"There is another way, that is, you publish and print at your own expense. Of course, it doesn't sound nice to say it, right?"
Su Xiaodong rubbed his hands with a smile. He liked to deal with newcomers very much because he was so fooling.
Although three options were given, he was also confident that he would let the other party choose to share the royalties.
Sure enough, Mo Zhuosi asked, "If it was a buyout price, how much can you pay?"
Su Xiaodong smiled at the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, the buyout price is based on the author's achievements in this book. If the new work has made progress, it is a price increase. If the market is considered bad, it will be a price reduction."
"As for the new author, it has not been verified by the market, so the generally given buyout price will be very low."
Mo Zhuosi looked helpless, he also understood this principle.
"So I can only choose to divide the money, right?"
Su Xiaodong introduced: "More than 99% of new authors choose to share the money, and you want to! We will help you package and promote the whole process. You sit at home to collect money, earn more when you sell more, and you won't worry about the low price of the buyout, and your rights can be protected."
Mo Zhuosi has no experience in this area at all, but he is not in a hurry. It is a bit too early to negotiate the price now. Maybe his work can enter the top 20?
"I will consider it, and if you are interested, please contact you."
Su Xiaodong was stunned. What's going on?
Under normal circumstances, when a newcomer hears that his book can be published, his mind is hot and you ignore it.
But at least you can ask about the share price?
What do you think about the price if you don’t ask?
Su Xiaodong had no choice but to quote the price himself: "Well, our share is based on the printing and promotion cost of your work. Generally, newcomers can get a price of 2 to 4 yuan."
"What? It means I earn 2 yuan if I sell a book?" Mo Zhuosi was stunned for a moment.
"Of course not necessarily. Your work can be divided into at least 4 yuan per book. So if we sell 100,000 yuan, you will earn 400,000 yuan." Su Xiaodong threw out a huge temptation.
Publishing, that is the dream of many people.
It’s not much, right? The down payment for a house is there.
However, Mo Zhuosi was just about to sign a contract worth 5 million, and 400,000 was not much attractive to him.
Let’s talk about a work that costs at least 20 yuan, but I can only get a little money?
Although he heard that publishers were quite a scam, he didn't expect to be so pitiful.
"Okay, I'll consider it and contact you if you need it."
After saying that, Mo Zhuosi hung up the phone.
Su Xiaodong is rarely hung up. He always fulfills the publishing dreams of many newcomers like a dream leader, but it is not that he has never been hung up.
However, a newcomer hung up the phone.
This made him feel uncomfortable. When his colleague saw this scene, he asked jokingly: "Who? You dare to hang up Brother Xiaodong's phone number. Don't want to be in the publishing industry?"
Su Xiaodong looked contemptuous and put down his phone and said, "The newcomers are so arrogant these days. Isn't it just Dong Fan praised a few words?"
"That's a big deal, Dong Fan!" said the colleague in the face.
Mo Zhuosi went online to check the benefits of publishing, but found that he was surprised. The work priced at 23 yuan was only 1.8 yuan in the author's hands.
There are constant inside stories, and even so, many people are still flocking to this industry.
Perhaps, in this era, too many people dream.
Too many people want to realize their dreams.
For example, I am unknown and have been my sister who has been a backup singer for several years.
