The road to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry

"Mr. Liu, representatives from three publishing houses are waiting for you in the meeting room."

"They said you made an appointment."

As soon as he came to the office in the morning, Liu Hui received a report from his assistant Huang Jie.

"Yes, I made an appointment. I forgot to tell you yesterday."

"You inform the legal department and ask them to send someone to the conference room."

"I might have to sign a publishing license agreement."

After Liu Hui explained a few words, he walked towards the conference room.

He didn't expect the publishing house to act so quickly. He only received a call from Zhu Doudou yesterday, and they came to the door today.

"Zhu Doudou, the two of them are one of the largest publishing houses in the country, do you think our Southern Publishing House really has a chance?"

"Li Wei, don't be discouraged."

"Mr. Liu is a man of temperament. Although your publishing house is not big, if he likes you and has eyes for you, maybe your publishing house still has a chance."

"Zhu Doudou, do you want to harm me?"

"I'm not gay. I like women. If you ask me to betray my appearance, I will never do it."

"Li Wei, you Tema, what are you thinking in your head?"

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"Mr. Liu is a temperamental person. He is a kind of person who prefers softness to toughness. You have a better attitude and try to follow his wishes. Maybe the copyright will be handed over to your publishing house."

"Zhu Doudou, you pig mouth, can you speak more clearly..."

In the conference room, Zhu Doudou and his hair boy Li Wei were talking in a low voice.

In the past two months, because Zhu Doudou signed a contract with "Journey to the West", he has been doing well on the tomato novel website.

This time the publishing house contacted Liu Hui to discuss the publishing rights of the novel, and he naturally became the broker in the middle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Doudou opened a back door for his friend Li Wei, hoping to help him.

"Mr. Liu is here, remember what I said just now."

Seeing Liu Hui coming, Zhu Doudou reminded Li Wei in a low voice, then stood up and greeted Liu Hui.

"Mr. Liu, hello, I'm Zhudoudou."

"So you are Zhudoudou."

"Your figure is worthy of the name."

Seeing Zhu Doudou's fat and round figure, Liu Hui joked and shook hands with him.

On the Internet and on the phone, Liu Hui had several exchanges with Zhudoudou, and he had a good impression of Zhudoudou.

"No way, I can grow meat even if I drink boiled water."

"Mr. Liu, let me introduce you to these people."

"This is Editor Lu from Yijing Publishing House."

"This one is Editor Chen from Shenzhen-Hong Kong Publishing House."

"The last one is Editor Li of Southern Publishing House."

Hearing Zhu Doudou's introduction, Liu Hui shook hands with them respectively.

"Everyone, sit down."

Liu Hui sat at the main seat in the conference room.

"Editors from publishing houses, are you going to sign a copyright buyout contract or a revenue sharing contract?"

Liu Hui asked them directly without too much nonsense.

After receiving a call from Zhu Doudou yesterday, Liu Hui checked online.

There are two main types of physical book publishing contracts.

The first category is a buyout contract.

The publishing house buys out the publishing copyright with a one-time bid, and the book sales profit has nothing to do with the author.

The second category is sharing contracts.

The author authorizes the publishing copyright of the book to the publishing house. If there is a loss in the sales of the book, the publishing house will bear it, and the profit will be shared with the author. The ratio of the sharing is agreed by both parties.

"Mr. Liu, we at Yijing Publishing House want to sign a 300 million buyout contract."

Editor Lu of Yijing Publishing House said loudly.

In his opinion, the buyout price of online novels can reach 300 million, which is already a very high price.

"Mr. Liu, the buyout price given by our Shenzhen-Hong Kong Publishing House is 100 million, plus half of the book sales profit for you."

Editor Chen of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Publishing House is very confident in his bid.

He did market analysis.

A conservative estimate of the book "Journey to the West" should be able to sell 100 million copies, with a profit of about 1 million, and a half-cent profit of 500 million.

The price of 500 million + 100 million should be very attractive.

"Mr. Liu, our Southern Publishing House wants to sign a sharing contract, and the amount of sharing is up to you."

"Although our publishing house is not a well-known publishing house, we have sales channels in major cities across the country, especially our online channels are very mature."

"Mr. Liu, you can seriously think about it."

"As long as your sharing conditions are not outrageous, I will never bargain."

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said.

He trusts his brother Zhu Doudou very much.

Zhu Doudou's estimate is that "Journey to the West" can sell at least 500 million copies.

The revenue from this sales volume is about 1 million. Even if [-]% to [-]% of the revenue is distributed to the author, their publishing house will have nearly [-] million revenue.

"Editor Lu, Editor Chen, with all due respect, the price you gave is too low."

"I'll give you a chance to raise the price."

"If the price is not satisfactory, I will talk directly to Editor Li."

The price of several million is to buy out the publishing rights of "Journey to the West", which is one of the four famous works in the previous life.

"It's okay to insult me, but you can't insult "Journey to the West"."

Thinking of this, Liu Hui felt a little angry.

"However, it seems that you can't insult me."

Liu Hui almost wrapped himself in.

"Mr. Liu, I can buy out the contract up to 600 million."

Editor Lu of Yijing Publishing House said.

"Mr. Liu, the buyout fee remains the same, and I will increase the share of the income to [-]% for you."

Editor Chen of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Publishing House threw out his bottom line.

The 2000% share of the income is about [-] million. This price is much higher than that of Yijing Publishing House. He believes that the other party will definitely be tempted.

"Editor Lu, Editor Chen, you can go back."

Hearing their bid, Liu Hui felt that there was no need to talk anymore.

"Mr. Liu, if you are not satisfied with the buyout price, we can talk again."

"Yes, yes, yes. The revenue share I give is still negotiable."

Hearing that Liu Hui saw off the guest suddenly, Editors Lu and Chen became a little anxious.

They didn't expect Liu Hui to be so strong, and the conversation fell apart after only a few words.

"Don't talk anymore, I've given you a chance."

Liu Hui said with a straight face.

"Editor Chen, let's go, I haven't seen such an awesome author before."

It is always the author who begs the editor, how have they ever been so angry.

The two left the conference room angrily.

"Zhu Doudou, is Editor Li your friend?"

From entering the conference room, Liu Hui noticed that Zhu Doudou had been sitting with Editor Li.

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

"Li Wei, Editor Li is my childhood friend. I have encountered such a good opportunity, so I want to help him."

Zhu Doudou knew Liu Hui's character and did not hide anything.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll give you some face."

"I originally wanted [-]% of the income, but now I want to change it to [-]% or [-]%."

"Editor Li, what do you think?"

Liu Hui asked.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"I have no problem here, I can sign the contract right away."

Li Wei said excitedly.

"Mr. Liu, thank you for the face you gave me."

Zhu Doudou hurriedly thanked her.

He didn't expect that Liu Hui would give up 2000% of the income for him, which was [-] million Tang Xia coins.

"If you want to thank me, publish "Journey to the West" as soon as possible."

"The TV series "Journey to the West" will be broadcast during the Spring Festival, and your publishing house will print and publish it within this month..."
