Chapter 8 Timely

There is indeed an argument. Wang Er said: OK, when I was a child, I had some dreams of princes and princesses. You know, in ancient China, no princes or princess could do anything randomly, so I put some background in Europe.

Once the Chinese entity is popular, I intend to publish it abroad, which is a European background and is more acceptable to foreign readers.

Big White Rabbit: If you want to publish it abroad, translation is very important.

Of course Wang Er knew about this, and the system also knew it, otherwise he would not have produced an English version of "Ansser's Fairy Tale". Or, for example, "The Three-Body Problem", the English translation is Liu Yukun, which is a big shot. Some people say that Liu Yukun's translation of "Beijing Folding" has awkward original text, smooth translation, and it reads like the original text in English.

This statement is a bit exaggerated, but if you change to another translation, "The Three-Body Problem" may not cause such a big sensation in the West.

Or, for example, Wang Ershu’s book "Anssen’s Fairy Tale", I don’t know who translated Chinese, this person must be a big shot, and look at how beautiful the Chinese text is.

Wang Er: Let’s talk about it later, it’s still early.

Big White Rabbit: Then see if this contract works.

Wang Er accepted the contract, which was so long... but it was really not a joke. If a text trap was set up inside, it would be impossible to explain it clearly.

Xian'er suddenly appeared: "Host, don't worry, as long as you purchase skills that are proficient in the "Contract Law" and "Copyright Law", you can understand this contract."

There was no choice but to buy it, so the debt instantly turned into RMB 11.5 million. Wang Er wanted to cry again, because he had exceeded 10 million in debt, so he could only get 10% of the royalties.

But the money was not spent in vain. When you look at this several page contract, you can see it in an instant.

"I have no objection to the royalty of 300 yuan/1,000 words, but you are too ruthless to issue this entity to 50 cents."

"Five great masters, wronged and wronged. If you want to publish physically, we have to find a publishing house and cooperate with their publicity. These all require cost."

"If it is an ordinary book, the sales volume is only a few thousand copies, and you are really conscientious, but this book will only have a few thousand copies in the future? It is a collection of fairy tales, not these ten."

"Oh," the big white rabbit obviously became interested: "How many articles are there in total?"

"More than one hundred articles."

"The quality is so? Are there any relevant manuscripts?"

"I'll send you ten more articles first," Wang Er sent the ten fairy tales that were revised later: "Most of the remaining drafts have been written, but they have not been revised. And I want to say, I am really not old, and there are more than this fairy tale collection in the future, there must be other works. If you want to work together for a long time, be more sincere and less routine."

"Five great men, don't be excited, don't be excited, I'll take a look first, I'll contact you tomorrow, okay?"

"OK."

The next day, it was only when the White Rabbit contacted him. It wasn't because he had been reading for so long, but most of the leaders in the magazine were discussing: "How much do you think it should be?"

"Divid three to seven, I'm seven, you three, don't underestimate it. If you find a good publishing house and have strong publicity, if you only have this three in the future, it will be equivalent to half of your magazine's profit."

The Chinese country in this world is similar to another time and space. Under the authoritative system of the Three Bonds, there were few novels suitable for children in ancient times. Therefore, after the opening of China, coupled with the emphasis on copyright, some excellent foreign fairy tales were introduced, or some excellent fairy tales in China, which would generate amazing sales, with hundreds of thousands or millions of volumes.

The key is that the children grow up one after another, and with their quality, they can still be sold in another ten or twenty years.

It is hard to guess what the sales volume is not released. However, yesterday, "Children's Times" deliberately held a meeting for these twenty fairy tales. I didn't see the ones later, but now the twenty can publish a decent book, especially "Lucky Belle" and "The Snow Queen". There are so many words in these two fairy tales alone.

If this quality can be maintained, the final accumulated sales may be an amazing number.

After a long time, the big white rabbit said, "We promised you, what else do you have?"

"Yes, when you negotiate a contract with the publisher, you must obtain my consent, otherwise you will be sold at a low price if you do it well."

"This won't be true, five big guys, don't worry."

"First a villain, then a gentleman."

"You are an old author, and the five majors are your new vest?"

"Don't worry about this, do you agree?"

"Okay, but no other requests can be made."

"No, there is also," Wang Er picked out several contract traps: "If you want to cooperate for a long time, don't play these tricks."

Don’t look at these text traps, if you want to cheat in "Children's Age", Wang Er will suffer a great loss.

What he didn't know was that at this time, there was not only a "big white rabbit" girl lying in front of the computer, but also several leaders. One leader rubbed his head and said, "Promise him."

There is no way, such a high-quality fairy tale is not begging for you, but begging for you.

After a while, "Children's Times" re-wrote a new contract. Wang Er read it carefully and was satisfied this time. He said: "Okay, but don't rush to put it in the magazine. I have some illustrations here. You can see if you can use it."

"Children's Age" does not have a hardcover version and cannot be equipped with color illustrations, but can be equipped with sketch illustrations. This will affect the image positioning of future derivatives of each work. Since copyright is valued, there is no need to let go.

"With express delivery, there are a few days left, and the next issue of the magazine will be finalized."

"OK."

Wang Er quickly stepped down and started drawing, but when he changed to black and white sketches, he couldn't draw well.

"Host, buy sketching skills." Xian'er said with a smile.

"Fuck, you..."

"Host, don't get angry, this is a skill, one purchase, and lifelong benefit."

Wang Er was gone, so the debt became 12.5 million yuan again.

After drawing the illustrations, Wang Er went to buy a U disk again the next morning, copied the contract to the U disk, found a photocopier on the street, printed the contract, filled out the contract, and sent the contract and illustrations to "Children's Times" magazine in a express manner.

Only when they received the contract could they pay the royalties, but at this time, Wang Er breathed a sigh of relief.

He came to his noodle restaurant.

"There were many people around, and there were big blocks..."

Wang Er squeezed in. Wang Laoshi saw him and was so angry that he reached out to hit him. Wang Er grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, listen to me."

"What do you say, the store is about to close."

"Dad, I have the manuscript fee, more than 7,000."

Twenty novels, more than 200,000 words, can get 77,000 royalties according to the contract. However, you have to pay personal income tax. This thing is not a professional, and ordinary people can't calculate it at all. Fortunately, in order to encourage the development of the entertainment industry, this world has introduced many protective measures, including taxation and normal tax payment. In 2005, the income of more than 70,000 yuan was lost. However, it is the income from literary creation, and the tax should be lighter.

The White Rabbit had not had enough calculations at that time, but she estimated that paying a few thousand yuan was almost enough, and she could still have a net income of 70,000 yuan left.

Seventy thousand yuan, a considerable income after 2005, but... Wang Er could only get 10% of it, so it became more than 7,000 points.
