Entertainment Godfather
Chapter 245 Anger
"Teacher Luo, after all, you are not a double champion like Yao Chongjing, nor a veteran like the True Lord of Life and Death. Although you are a famous martial arts master, you do not have very convincing sales volume proof. Besides, "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" You will not be unaware of its status in the world of martial arts novels. Our company and our magazine are undoubtedly your best choice.”
On the other end of the phone, Yang Qing's voice quietly carried a hint of threat, both soft and hard.
As soon as the classic news of the times came out, martial arts masters came out one after another. At this time, lowering the price was simply a God-given opportunity. As the most calculating editor of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", Yang Qing, how could he not seize it.
She knew Luoyang would be unhappy.
Anyone else would not be happy, but Yang Qing still felt that everything was under his control.
These famous martial arts masters have already set their sights on competing for the classic martial arts master award of the times. This opportunity is very rare.
But unfortunately, this time she met Luoyang.
She thought Luoyang chose "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" because their company has a big business and a big platform.
It's a pity that Luoyang chose "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" just for the sake of his second uncle. For him, the so-called platform is not that important at all.
Otherwise, when the "Xia Ke Magazine" owned by Xia Ke Jianghu was on the verge of bankruptcy, he would not have taken action resolutely, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that if "Seven Weapons" had been published in "Martial Arts", the impact would only be will be bigger.
As for the awards…
To be honest, Luoyang really wants it.
But this desire is actually not that strong.
Compared with those martial arts masters who wait for years for awards, he simply has no desires or desires.
"Editor Yang, if you still want to lower the price, I think our cooperation will end here." Luoyang's voice was very calm.
"Before, we quoted a price of 12,000 yuan per thousand words, but you easily wiped out 2,000 yuan. This difference seems very small, but in fact, I lost more than one million yuan because of this. You must know this account better than me. "
Yes, some people will say that there is not a big difference between the price of 1,000 words and 10,000 yuan, but it is just two thousand yuan less.
But in fact, the price of 12,000 words was changed to 10,000 words. In this way, the book "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has a total of 700,000 words. Luoyang lost a total of about 1.4 million in royalties.
1.4 million was erased in an understatement.
Not to mention, the magazine would have to give up the copyright to the work if it was serialized.
He doesn't care much about money, but he doesn't like being blackmailed, let alone being tricked by others. Yang Qing's careful tricks have undoubtedly made him very unhappy.
Yang Qing said confidently: "Teacher Luo, you are on the rich list of Dragon Kingdom writers and have already received royalties of over 100 million. Do you still care about those few million?"
Luoyang was so angry this time that he laughed: "My royalties are over 100 million, so I don't care if I get ripped off by you for millions? What kind of logic is this, Editor Yang? Is it my fault that Daqing has money?"
After finishing writing "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", I only made a few million.
According to what the other party said, I could just write a book for them for free. What kind of remuneration do I need?
"Teacher Luo, we have no shortage of martial arts masters to submit articles, but we respect every martial arts master, that's why we are so patient in discussing with you. We also hope you can understand that choosing to cooperate with us is also for your benefit."
Yang Qing's attitude was still tough, and his words were full of threats.
"hehe."
Luoyang curled up his lips and hung up the phone.
He is too lazy to chat with this kind of moral bitch. This kind of person likes to call you "you" every time. He seems to be well-educated and respects himself verbally, but in fact he doesn't show any respect at all in what he does.
And to be honest, people who make magazines can be considered half-literati, and it is rare to be so philistine.
For Luoyang, it was just a matter of publishing on another platform, but it was a pity that the second uncle could not help.
As soon as he put down his phone, the screen lit up again. Luoyang thought it was Yang Qing calling back again. He was about to hang up, but found that the caller was his assistant Hua Qi.
He answered the phone.
As soon as the connection was connected, Hua Qi's voice came over: "Boss, have you talked to Editor Yang?"
Luoyang said: "It's not enough to talk about speculation."
Hua Qi said with a smile: "Just today, at least five famous martial arts masters contacted their "Xia Ke Magazine". After all, the most suitable platform for serialization in the industry is "Xia Ke Magazine".
Luoyang knew it in his heart.
Hua Qi was reminding Luoyang why Yang Qing dared to bargain with him.
Today, at least five famous martial arts masters have contacted them. As time goes by, the number of people will increase, and the "Knightsman Magazine" will naturally become more rigid.
In other words, in the eyes of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", his status is no different than a spare tire.
After all, most martial arts masters rely on sales for support, and while I was just starting out in the martial arts novel world, I had no sales volume to prove it, so my importance was naturally discounted.
"From now on, there is no need to cooperate with this magazine." Luoyang said calmly.
Hua Qi gave a decisive yes, and in her heart she mourned for three seconds of silence for "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" - being on the boss's blacklist, she was afraid that she would have to suffer some hardships in the future.
"Also, please spread the news about my opening of a book. Whoever contacts me first can tell me which book to go to." Luoyang said.
"Pfft..." Hua Qi almost choked on her own saliva when she heard this. She was a little confused: "Whoever contacts first will go to whichever house? Is the boss willing to play like this? You are too willful..."
"Well, are you willful?"
Luoyang thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case.
He pondered: "Then let's..."
Before Luoyang could finish speaking, Hua Qi said, "It's very simple. Buy a magazine and we'll serialize it ourselves, boss! Why should we give money to those magazines!"
"Acquiring a magazine?"
Luoyang frowned and said, "There's no need to go to so much trouble. Just contact us first and we'll make a decision when we find a suitable platform."
"Oh well……"
Hua Qi could only agree. Luoyang didn't like to take the initiative to expand his career. As an assistant, Hua Qi also said he was helpless. It was not easy to have a boss who was uncontested.
——————————
The next day, Luoyang made a special call to Luo Dashan and explained: "Second uncle, I pushed forward the contract for "Xia Ke Jiang Hu"..."
Before Luoyang finished speaking, Luo Dashan affirmed: "It's okay, I know everything. My second uncle supports you because the company has gone too far. The price they gave you is the lowest among martial arts masters. It's simply bullying." ”
"That's good……"
Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Luo Dashan for a few more words. Suddenly he heard some noisy sounds coming from Luo Dashan.
"Luo Dashan, why haven't you moved the office yet? You've been busy making phone calls. Please move quickly. The editor-in-chief is urging you."
Luoyang frowned: "Second uncle, do you have something going on over there?"
"Well, you don't have to worry about it. I'll hang up here and talk later..." Luo Dashan said hurriedly.
Luoyang's mind was spinning so fast, and he thought of something almost instantly. His face looked a little ugly: "Second uncle, have you been made trouble by someone in the company?"
"It's nothing, don't worry..." Luo Dashan said a little sarcastically.
"Tell me." Luoyang's voice was serious.
Luo Dashan sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore. His nephew was not easy to fool.
"The company asked me to persuade you to accept the price. I am your second uncle. Even if I lose my job, I can't forgive my nephew. So I refused the company's request. As a result, I was transferred from above to do printing at the grassroots level."
Listening to his second uncle's bitter laughter on the phone, Luoyang's hand holding the phone suddenly became harder.
"Luo Dashan, if you are still on the phone, can you hang up? If you don't move these shabby materials, do you still expect me, the editor-in-chief, to move them for you?"
Another woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Luoyang recognized it immediately. It was the voice of the female editor-in-chief, Yang Qing.
Luoyang's voice suddenly calmed down: "Second uncle, give your cell phone to the editor."
"Luoyang..."
"give her."
"Okay..." Luo Dashan hesitated and agreed.
Ten seconds later, Yang Qing's voice came from the mobile phone: "Hello, Mr. Luo, have you thought clearly about what you said last night? If you think clearly, we will repay you here."
When Yang Qing mentioned the word "reward", his tone obviously increased, as if he was referring to something.
Luoyang suddenly smiled.
It's just that this smile doesn't have any warmth at all.
He said word by word: "I just want to tell you two things now."
"First, my second uncle will resign because he will be the editor-in-chief of my magazine."
"Second, no matter how many martial arts masters you recruit for "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", I will let you know who is the emperor of this arena."
