Chapter 158 (1/2)
Although Xiao Yunhai has numerous fans in music and martial arts novels, he has no fame in film and TV series. He has made several films and TV series, but none of them has been shown yet.
Therefore, people's interest in ”Xiao Ao Jiang Hu” is far greater than that in ”Legend of Zhen Huan”, which makes Xiao Yunhai feel speechless.
Compared with these martial arts fans, those who pay more attention to ”Xiaoao Ao Jiang Hu” belong to those publishing houses.
The crazy sales of ”Legend of Chu Liuxiang” and ”Xiao Li Feidao” have made all publishing houses in China red. So far, the sales volume of the two books has reached 40 million, with profits of hundreds of millions, which makes Minsheng publishing house make a lot of money.
Now, seeing that Xiao Yunhai's ”Xiaoao Ao Jiang Hu” has been completed, the major publishing houses naturally can't bear to call Xiao Yunhai through various kinds of relations, hoping that he can hand over the ”Xiaoao Ao Lake” to them for publication, and even some small publishing houses have opened at 8:2.
When Xiao Yunhai finished sending the message, she discussed with Su Yingxue, told her her own bottom line, and then gave Su Yingxue all the issues related to the publication of Xiao Ao Ao Jiang Hu.
Therefore, on the phone, Xiao Yunhai told these publishing houses that if you want the publishing rights of this novel, you can go to Su Yingxue.
Xiao Yunhai was only surprised that Minsheng publishing house didn't call, which made him wonder: ”what happened to Zhang Liye?”
Xiao Yunhai's conjecture is not wrong. There is indeed something wrong with Minsheng publishing house.
In Xiao Yunhai's home page, Zhang Liye soon learned about Xiao Yunhai's release of ”Xiao Ao Ao Jiang Hu”. Without saying a word, he went to find the president.
Yan Qingfeng, the former president, because he was old and not in good health, reported to his superiors that he was sick. Ma Wenfa, the former vice president, replaced him.
Originally, Zhang Liye thought that with the huge sales of Xiao Yunhai's two martial arts novels, Ma Wenfa certainly agreed with both hands. However, he did not reply on the spot, but called some high-level officials to come to a meeting for discussion.
At the meeting, Zhang Liye stood up first and said, ”Dear leaders and colleagues, Xiao Yunhai, also known as tianwaike, has published a message on his personal homepage today, saying that his new work” Xiaoao Ao Wujiang ”has been completed. As we all know, his first two novels have brought great benefits to our publishing house, which makes other publishing houses envious. It is said that many of them have already contacted Xiao Yunhai. Since we have cooperated twice, the relationship between us is also very good, so as long as we are sincere, we have the greatest hope of getting the copyright of ”Xiaoao Ao Jiang Hu”
Li Wenjun, the new vice president, asked, ”Mr. Zhang, I don't know what kind of conditions can be regarded as sincerity.”
Li Wenjun is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a round face and baldness. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into a slit, giving people a feeling of softness.
He and Ma Wenfa have always been very good friends, so the first thing Ma Wenfa took office was to promote Li Wenjun.
Zhang Liye frowned and replied, ”I estimate that the profit ratio is at least 6:4, and Xiao Yunhai is in the majority. Only then can we get the copyright.”
Zhang Liye has always been fed up with Li Wenjun's virtue, so he usually has a bad relationship with Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun laughed and said, ”Mr. Zhang, is this joke a little too big. I've been working in a publishing house for nearly 20 years, and I'm an old man here. I've never heard of any author who can get 60 percent. It's just fantastic. ”
”What if he could sell more than 20 million copies? Will vice president Li still feel that he is not worth the price? ” Zhang Liye argued.
”I have also read Xiao Yunhai's novels seriously. It has to be said that he creatively combined martial arts and detective to create a strange and unpredictable River and lake, with fantastic ideas. If he still writes this kind of novel this time, I have no objection. But this time, I heard that he had changed his style and said that he could open up a new form. Ha ha, Mr. Hu, to tell you the truth, I don't believe it. ”
Sun Qingxing, director of the publicity department, nodded and said, ”I agree with Vice President Li. However, Xiao Yunhai has tens of millions of fans. Even if he encounters Waterloo this time, it is still possible to sell millions of copies. So I think Mr. Zhang should talk about it. It's just that we need to study it together. ”
