Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 61

While shaking hands with Wei Meng, Xia Longqing subconsciously said:
"Oh, hello Comrade Wei, your novel is very well written!
I have passed the review here, I want you to wait here, I will take the manuscript to find the editor-in-chief;

Let’s see if it’s possible, just typesetting and publishing it in this issue! "

These words made Wei Meng very puzzled.

He didn't know that the magazine could serialize it before it finished reading the book.

After Xia Longqing finished speaking, he took the manuscript and went to the editor-in-chief's office without waiting for Wei Meng's answer.

Xia Longqing came outside the editor-in-chief's office, and before he had time to knock on the door, he pushed the door open and entered.

The editor-in-chief, Meng Jinping, in the editor-in-chief's office.

I was also reviewing manuscripts, and when I saw someone who didn't knock on the door, I came in.

Immediately raising his head in displeasure, he saw that the person who came was Xia Longqing, who was the editor in charge of reviewing novels.

Seeing that he was holding a file bag in his hand, he asked suspiciously:
"What's the matter, you were so anxious that you forgot to knock on the door, do you have a good novel?"

After hearing this, Xia Longqing realized that he was in a hurry and forgot the basic manners.

So, Xia Longqing smiled awkwardly and said:
"Editor-in-Chief, I found a good novel, enough to be serialized in a magazine!

Am I in a hurry, so I forgot to knock on the door, sorry, sorry! "

Hearing this, Meng Jinping didn't care about Xia Longqing's disrespectful behavior, and hurriedly reached out to ask Xia Longqing for the manuscript:

"Take it to me to see!"

Xia Longqing agreed, and immediately handed the file bag to the editor-in-chief.

Meng Jinping took out the manuscript from the opened file bag and read it.

It is also ten lines at a glance, and it took more than half an hour to read the manuscript.

Meng Jinping nodded and said:

"Well, you have a good eye, just Chapter 1, you can see;
The author's writing skills are good, and the plot arrangement is also in place.

After finishing writing, if the quality is okay, it can be serialized and published, hmm. . . "

As he spoke, he turned to the first page again, pointed to the author's inscription and said:

"I've never heard of 'Xiao Wei'. Is he a new writer?"

Xia Longqing nodded and said:

"Well, he's a newcomer writer, still very young, looks like he's only eighteen or nineteen years old!"

Hearing this, Meng Jinping nodded and said:

"Well, although the person is a little younger, but the writing is good..."

Then he reacted again and asked:

"Have you met the author?"

Xia Longqing nodded and said:
"He's right here at my desk, waiting!
Editor-in-chief, look, can this novel be published in this issue? "

Hearing this, Meng Jinping stretched out his fingers and tapped rhythmically on the table.

He is also very tangled in his heart, judging from the opening Chapter 1.

It is indeed a good novel, but it is too risky to serialize it now.

If the follow-up quality is not good, then. . .

Thinking of this, Meng Jinping became cruel again, and said:
If the quality is not good, just cut it off.

Right now, it is still necessary to make an emergency and supplement the three novels that have been serialized.

Xia Longqing's proposal is indeed an impossible solution.

After making a decision, Meng Jinping said:
"Well, I agree!

As for the manuscript fee, let it be ten yuan per thousand characters!

Can you communicate with the author again to see if he is sure to write the follow-up plot well?
If possible, in addition to guaranteeing monthly publications;
I can write the follow-up of the novel as soon as possible and hand it over to the magazine.

Let him rest assured that if his novels have no quality problems, how many manuscripts will he submit.

We pay as much as we want!go! "

Hearing this, Xia Longqing nodded happily, agreed with 'yes', and left the office.

In the editor's office, Wei Meng was looking around boredly.

Suddenly seeing Xia Longqing coming back with a face full of joy, Wei Meng knew:
Steady, Chapter 1 of the novel is about to be published!
The manuscript fee is about to be paid, and I can rent a big house to live in!

Sure enough, after Xia Longqing came back, he said to Wei Meng:

"The editor-in-chief also agrees to serialize Xiao Wei's novel in this issue;

However, Xiao Wei, you have to promise me that the update will not be interrupted or unfinished!

In this way, you go to the accounting room with me first and sign the contract.

Let me settle the manuscript fee for this issue with you first! "

With that said, he led Wei Meng out of the office.

On the way, Xia Longqing said to Wei Meng:
"Xiao Wei, the meaning of the editor-in-chief is to guarantee that each issue will be serialized with no less than [-] words per chapter;

Can you please write the novel as soon as possible;
Don't worry, the editor-in-chief said that we will pay you as much manuscript fee as you submit.

Thousand characters and ten yuan, not bad, it is already the uniform price in the industry! "

Hearing this, Wei Meng made some calculations in his heart.

The novel is planned to write 110 million words in total, ten yuan for a thousand words, that is 1000 yuan.

Judging from my own writing speed, I guarantee 100 words a day, and it can be completed in more than [-] days.

There is no problem at all with the requirements of the magazine.

Wei Meng looked at Xia Longqing who looked at him with a face full of hope and said:

"No problem, I can write more than 5 words in a chapter every five days;
Based on the update volume of the magazine, 30 words of manuscripts can be submitted every month!
I can also accept the price of ten thousand dollars!

But let me tell you first, I can still contact the publishing house to publish a complete novel! "

In fact, even if Wei Meng didn't say anything, the result would be like this.

For serialization, the magazine will only sign a serialization contract and will not infringe on the author's novel publishing rights.

However, Wei Meng is also taking precautions before they happen, and the ugliness is just in front.

He was afraid that at that time, if the novel was to be filmed into a TV series like the previous life.

So as not to cause unnecessary copyright disputes.

Hearing this, Xia Longqing laughed and said:
"Don't worry, you'll know when the contract is signed.

We only sign, the serial copyright in the magazine, other copyrights are still yours! "

While talking, the two came to the financial room.

Here is a contract sample that has been prepared long ago. You only need to fill in the necessary information and it will take effect on the spot.

Read the contract carefully, fill in the book information, and your own information.

Sign and press the fingerprint, the contract will take effect immediately.

From the finance department, I got the manuscript fee for Chapter 1, 550 yuan.

In fact, this is also the first column, and the work was serialized before it was finished.

It is also because the magazine really can't find a good long story.

It is rare to come across a novel with high intentions and good content.

The magazine has no choice but to take a risk, which is quite a meaning of serialization on the Internet for later generations.

Originally, Wei Meng just took a chapter and went to the magazine office to see if he could be liked.

If you pass, go back and spend some time to finish the novel.

After handing it over to the magazine for serialization, I get the manuscript fee in one go.

It was unexpected that this would be the result.

It was beyond Wei Meng's expectation.

After leaving the magazine office, I first went to the post office to exchange the money order into cash.

There is no way, the manuscript fee of the magazine is paid out through the form of money order.

Therefore, even if Wei Meng is in the magazine office, he can only get the remittance slip.

After thinking about it, the current rental price in Jinling.
