"One more thing, Brother Xiao Wei, are you interested in trying to write lyrics?" Ding Shaokai began to talk to Wang Wei about the second thing.

The salesman beside him widened his eyes, my God, hasn't the boss told Brother Xiaowei about this?

"Writing lyrics?" Wang Wei was puzzled, and said, "I didn't know anything about writing lyrics before, but I can try."

The expected answer made Ding Shaokai wink at the business chief Liu. It's not that he didn't discuss with Wang Wei in advance, but he was sure that Wang Wei would definitely agree.Ding Shaokai appreciates Wang Wei's deep curiosity about all the new fields that he doesn't understand, and his unrelenting drive to study thoroughly.It is said that you can't chew too much, but in Wang Wei's place, it seems that there has never been such a problem.This seems to be the most fundamental difference between a genius and a mortal... Ding Shaokai thought with some emotion.

Besides, Wang Wei already has a solid foundation in writing, and getting involved in the field of lyrics is not considered a cross-border. Thinking about it this way, Ding Shaokai continued: "If you agree, I will contact you with resources. An ancient costume that Bai Haocheng is shooting The drama "Big Artifact" is a leading male drama, and it happened to be out for bidding for the ending song. I've read the script, and it's quite stable, and the crew has sufficient funds. It's not sure if it will be a big hit, but Xiaohong will definitely be fine."

"Can you show me the script first?" Wang Wei asked. After all, if you don't understand the story, it is difficult to write lyrics that touch people's hearts.

"The crew keeps the script secret. If I want to release it, I have to communicate with the director first. You can read the original novel first, which has the same name as the TV series." Ding Shaokai said.

"When will it be?" Wang Wei asked.

"The production team has just started for one month, and it will take at least two months for a 1-episode TV series to enter the post-production stage. You only need to give me the final draft of the lyrics within one month, and I will hand it over to the protagonist who has finished filming the film to compose the song. Oh, I forgot to mention that Zhan Xu, the leading actor in "The Great Artifact", is the composer of the ending song." Ding Shaokai said.

Wang Wei nodded and said, "If you have time, it's best to sit down and communicate with the composer face to face."

Ding Shaokai agreed: "This is what it should be."

The time is not too tight, but Wang Wei has always been a person who can't hold back his work. After hanging up the phone, Wang Wei turned on the computer, searched for the original work, and started reading.He read it carefully until Qian Duo put the packing box by his hand and woke up from the novel.

"You are back." Wang Wei asked.

Qian Duo glanced at the computer in front of Wang Wei, and said, "Hey, why do busy people have time to read novels?"

"I just took over the job of substituting lyrics for the ending song of a film and television drama." Wang Wei explained.

"A novel adaptation?" Qian Duo asked, and glanced at the title of the novel Wang Wei was reading: ""The Great Artifact"? I haven't heard of it."

"What? "The Big Artifact"? The one starring Zhan Xu, who is filming?" Yang Guang suddenly asked excitedly.

Wang Wei tilted his head and asked Yang Guang: "Why, have you seen it?"

Yang Guangmeng nodded, and said, "I'm the author Canglan's diehard! "The Great Artifact" is his famous work. Third brother, do you really want to write lyrics for the ending song of "The Great Artifact"?"

Wang Wei nodded and said, "I haven't read the original book, can you tell me the outline of the story?"

Yang Guang pulled a chair over, sat down beside Wang Wei, and began to chatter, saying: "Cang Lan is really great! His historical knowledge is very rich, and he can quote scriptures at his fingertips. Although this book is superficial, but Cang Lan very cleverly integrated the systems and social backgrounds of the Tang and Song dynasties.

The male protagonist was born in a wealthy family, but as a concubine, he was tabooed by his aunt, who sent him back to his hometown in the countryside when he was 6 years old.You don't know how bad this aunt is. She says she doesn't criticize the male lead, but gives him good food and clothes, but only prevents him from studying and going out, and wants to train him into a luxurious and lustful playboy.It's simply Mrs. Wang's second, fortunately the leading actor is not Jia Huan!

Although 360 days a year, wind, sword, frost, and sword are fierce... The hero who is as hard as sister Lin is getting more and more upward. Coincidentally, he is appreciated by the old scholar who is begging for bones and returning to his hometown. He worships him as a teacher and learns to govern the country. The truth of the world.

Since then, he has risen straight to the top, helping the new king ascend the throne, and shouldering the merits of following the dragon; quelling internal strife and resisting foreign aggression, reforming the system and revitalizing the economy!However, the king he supported along the way listened to the villain's words and was suspicious.The male protagonist saw the king's mind, retired at the age of 40, opened an academy, taught and educated people, and died without any illness until the age of hearing.

On the day he was sent away, the people of the whole city spontaneously wore mourning for him, and the white silk was thousands of miles away... The same old king stood in front of the window, with tears in his eyes, looking back on the years they spent together, sighed heavily, and said: "Yes! I was wrong...

How about it, isn't your blood boiling! "

After Yang Guang finished speaking, he moved closer to Wang Wei, waiting for Wang Wei's evaluation with blingbling eyes.Wang Wei never read such novels serialized on the Internet, so he couldn't quite understand where Yang Guang's enthusiasm came from, and said, "I'd better read the novels by myself."

"By the way, how many words are there in this novel?" Wang Wei asked in confusion as he looked at the catalog of more than 1000 chapters.

"About 300 million words... I haven't read it for a long time, so I don't remember much." Yang Guang said.

"How much?" Wang Wei thought he heard it wrong.

"300 million?" Yang Guang repeated.

"But, there are only 40 episodes in the script!" Wang Wei suddenly felt that this TV series might not be too reliable.

Looking at the table of contents of "The Great Artifact", Wang Wei browsed the titles of the chapters all the way down, and the outline of the story flashed across his mind. Only from the table of contents, it can be seen that the content of this novel is very full. It can be said that each chapter has no Note, with so much content, can it really be filmed in 40 episodes?Even though he thought this way, Wang Wei still decided to read the original novel. No matter how well the TV drama is filmed, it has nothing to do with him, as long as he does his own thing well.For what he promised, Wang Wei has always used [-]% effort to do it.

At this time, a prompt box popped up from QQ in the lower right corner of the computer, reminding him that a new email has been received in his mailbox.Wang Wei clicked on it. It was the plan sent by Xinghai who was responsible for matching his own plan.Clicking on the PPT, Wang Wei browsed through it, immediately opened QQ, and asked the planner: "Don't we need to pay part of the fee to "Fiction Weekly?"

On the other side of QQ, the planner quickly replied: "The publishing contract is a contract signed between you and the publishing house, and "Fiction Weekly" is just an intermediary. According to the contract you signed with "Fiction Weekly", "Fiction Weekly" only enjoys the right to be published in the publication. The right to obtain profits from serialization does not have the copyright of paper books.”

Wang Wei asked: "Will Fiction Weekly participate in tomorrow's meeting?"

The planner replied: "Only Editor Zhao will come, because after all, "Fiction Weekly" has no publishing income, it is just a middleman. If you feel sorry, just ask Editor Zhao to rub it in private!"

Wang Wei: "Then Xinghai is responsible for the novel's design and promotion after publication?"

Planning reply: "Yes, the plan is being formulated, and it will be adjusted according to the situation of the Xueshen Award in 2 weeks. Are you satisfied with the cover design of the novel attached to the ppt? Do you have any suggestions for revision?"

Wang Wei thought for a moment, and said: "The cover is very good, and I have no objection to the way of cooperation with the publishing house. The profits will be 15% of my profits as company commissions."

plan:"?!"

Planning: "Have you misunderstood something? "Border" is your novel. We will help publicize it when we publish the paper book. We will only publish relevant soft articles on the cooperative media, and will not put hard advertisements on TV, newspapers or other channels. Any expenses. Vice President Ding specifically explained that we will not draw commissions this time."

Wang Wei: "When I turn around and call Vice President Ding, you can't let your work go for nothing."

Planning: "o(╥﹏╥)o, moved to tears."

After turning off QQ, Wang Wei called Ding Shaokai: "Hey, Mr. Ding, I read the plan and it's very comprehensive. I don't have any suggestions for revision."

Hearing this, Ding Shaokai smiled and said, "Brother Xiaowei, I'm not boasting. The team serving you are all elites from Galaxy Media!"

Wang Wei said: "It can be seen. Therefore, I decided that this time "Frontier" paper book will be published, and 15% of the profits will be distributed to Xinghe."

Ding Shaokai was obviously surprised when he heard this, and said, "Brother Xiaowei, do you know how much it is? We have agreed with the publishing house that if "Border" wins the Snow Trace Award, we will not calculate the basic remuneration. Well, according to your current influence and the quality of your works, it is conservatively estimated that you will sell 50 copies a year, and the royalties will be 50 yuan. "

As the vice president of a media company, Ding Shaokai has millions in turnover.He talked a lot, of course not compared to Galaxy Media. 37.5, for a student, what a fortune.This number is enough to make a fresh graduate struggle for 3 to 5 years.Even if this money is distributed to Bai Haocheng, the company's most popular actor, it doesn't mean that it can be given out.

Wang Wei heard Ding Shaokai quickly calculate the income, and said with a smile: "50 copies? Mr. Ding is so optimistic? "Border" is a literary novel. To achieve this result, I really need Vice President Ding's team to help me promote it. .”

When Ding Shaokai heard the words, he thought about it and said, "Then I'll make the decision, take out a fraction of 7.5 yuan, and make a hard advertisement on major portal websites for a week."

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Boss Ding is refreshing!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Tony, oh no, Tang Ruohai picked up Wang Wei in the nanny car that had been replaced with shotguns, and went to Qilu Publishing House to discuss the publication of "Border Town".

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Galaxy Media, Fiction Weekly, and Qilu Publishing House appeared on time in the large conference room of the publishing house.

"It's a great honor for Mr. Wang Wei to choose our company to publish his works." Director Wu, who is specially connected with Fiction Weekly, shook hands with Wang Wei.

"You and Brother Zhao are friends, and they are my friends." Wang Wei smiled at Director Wu. He has dealt with people a lot, and Wang Wei has also learned to say some polite words.

"Of course." Director Wu smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Wang Wei is going to use this time?"

In Wang Wei's personality, he likes to go straight to the point, and he doesn't like temptations that are too convoluted, so he decided on the royalties with Ding Shaokai yesterday, and said straight to the point: "The result of the Xueshen Award will be the standard after 10 days. If I can't win the best novel Award, the basic remuneration is 30 thousand words, I do not charge royalties for less than 1 volumes, 1% for 5 to 3 volumes, 5% for 10 to 8 volumes, and 10% for more than 15 volumes;

若我斩获最佳小说,基本稿酬千字100,1万册以内约定版税率3%,1万册至5万册版税率5%,5万册至10万册版税8%,10万册以上版税率12%。

how is it? "

After hearing this, Director Wu crossed his hands and pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Wang is playing for a big ticket! The royalties are 15%, and the profit of the publishing house is very low."

Wang Wei smiled and said: "In contrast, the conditions I gave are very low risk for the publishing house."

"This...I can't decide on my own, please allow me to go out and discuss with the leader." Director Wu frowned and said hesitantly.

"Of course, please." Wang Wei said.This plan is the result of many in-depth discussions within Galaxy Media.If Wang Wei did not win the award, then the novel "Border" would have less marketable points. The team canceled the royalties for less than 1 copies to reduce the risk for the publishing house. At the same time, it brought the Galaxy Marketing Department and Wang Wei himself The pressure is increasing, it can be regarded as breaking the boat, forcing yourself to improve and sell hard to increase profits.In this way, Xinghe and Wang Wei's investment is large, and the profits will naturally account for the majority.

Conversely, if Wang Wei wins the award, it will not be a problem to sell 1 copies by virtue of the Xuehen Best Novel Award.This amount is also zero risk for the publisher.But as Wang Wei said, "Border Town" is a literary novel, and it does not have the hot spots of some popular best-selling novels. To achieve the effect of selling best-selling novels, it also requires a certain amount of marketing cooperation.So there is a large-span jump point behind.These jumping points are not random, and each span is a hurdle for Wang Wei and the marketing team.

I believe that the publishers themselves are also aware of these reasons.Moreover, Wang Wei did not cut off all the profits of the publishing house. Even with the highest 15% royalties, the publishing house still has profits to take.

Half an hour later, Director Wu came back.He sat back on the chair and said, "Mr. Wang and Galaxy Media really know how to settle accounts! Every number is stuck on the dot, our president said, we signed this contract! It can be regarded as a match." Gambling, regardless of whether you can make a profit or not, treat it as making friends."

Saying this, Director Wu stood up from his chair, shook hands with Wang Wei and Ding Shaokai, and said, "Happy cooperation!"

With hands clasped, from this moment, Wang Wei began a decades-long long-term cooperation with Qilu Publishing House.

The author has something to say:

Can anyone tell me if there is such a pen that can finish writing the story at once~~~~~

Opening the pit is a moment of pleasure, filling the crematorium!
