Chapter 105 Entering the Physical Book Industry? (Part 2)

What surprised Qin Chuan was...

Lin Qiu actually chose to cooperate with Xianque Academy.

The three major online literature websites all have their own publishing companies, and their main purpose is to make money by materializing online literature books.

For example, "Sword of Immortality" and "Zhu Xian" both have a certain sales volume, but the sales volume is very limited. After all, readers know that the content has only collection value, and not many readers will buy it.

"of course not."

"I will continue writing, but the update speed will be much slower."

Lin Qiu smiled.

He does not intend to give up the online literature market because of the vast physical book market.

First of all, this is Lin Qiu's first pot of gold, not to mention that there are still many online readers who don't like to read physical books.

There is no shortage of works. Good depressive works such as "Seeking the Devil" and "Two Thousand Years of a Poor Man" will be slowly released in the coming days. The focus of the novels will definitely be on physical books.

"when?"

"After the next film "Lotus Lantern"."

Lin Qiu was not in a hurry.

This new work, which combines "Lotus Lantern" and "Yang Jian - Life Grows and Hates Water", will finally be something readers with a self-proclaimed steel heart can experience.

Even if it is a successive update, it will not be completed until at least next year. Now it is just a matter of planning in advance.

Cao Xue's eyes lit up when she heard that Lin Qiu had decided to write the next book.

As long as Lin Qiu is updating, Xianque's traffic will continue to skyrocket.

Qin Chuan thought for a while and then reminded, "Lin Qiu, of course, I personally really want you to stay in Xianque Academy to publish books."

"I don't know if you know it clearly, but the scale and resources of Xianque Academy, a subsidiary of Xianque, are far inferior to some well-known publishing companies with physical books."

"You actually have better options."

Qinchuan treats each other with sincerity, openness and fairness.

I don't want to take advantage of Lin Qiu and affect the relationship with Lin Qiu because of this matter.

"Of course I understand."

Hearing this, Lin Qiu felt Qin Chuan's sincerity and smiled:

"First, I don't intend to expose my true identity. If I want to cooperate with other publishing companies, my identity will inevitably be exposed."

[Cement-Sealed Heart] Lin Qiu never plans to publish this novel vest in her whole life. The risk factor is extremely high!

Lin Qiu wants to live.

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Qiu, this reason was obviously not enough.

Lin Qiu continued:

"Second, Xianque will invest all publicity resources in me, but other publishing companies will not."

"No matter how outstanding my achievements are in the online writing industry, I am still an online writing author, and the prejudice in the real world still exists."

"The third is the most important point."

"I need Xianque's online sales channels."

As soon as Lin Qiu finished speaking, Qin Chuan was shocked and suddenly realized something.

That is, Lin Qiu is an unprecedented "physical book online author".

In the past, there were many authors selling physical books through online writing channels. Now they can all be found in Xianque, but the response has been mediocre and the audiences are different.

But Lin Qiu is different!

Lin Qiu has a large number of loyal readers.

It can be seen from "Long Night" that even new books in the physical book style are still popular.

The few readers who are too lazy to read paper books still have online purchasing channels and can read them directly on their mobile phones.

"I see."

"In this case, you're welcome to Xianque. Happy cooperation."

"Don't worry, Xianque will do its best to promote it!"

"As for royalties, feel free to ask for any requests. As long as Xianque can satisfy them, we will try our best to satisfy them."

For things that are mutually beneficial and win-win, even if Lin Qiu doesn't say anything, Qin Chuan will do his best!

Big publishing companies may not believe that Lin Qiu will achieve results in physical books, but can Qin Chuan not believe it?

This is the opportunity for Xianque to take off!

“If it’s a physical book, I don’t want the basic royalties.”

"The royalties increase from 10% to 25% according to the number of issuances."

"My assistant will discuss the specific contract details with you later."

Lin Qiu obviously knows this industry quite well.

Generally, the royalties for physical books are divided into two parts.

The first part is the basic remuneration, which is simply the amount per thousand words.

A thousand words of 1,000 means 1 yuan per word, and a million-word novel means a basic royalty of 1 million.

For Lin Qiu, it was completely negligible.

The second part is the key.

That's royalties.

The so-called royalties are the number of releases × royalty rate × book pricing, and then the remuneration is paid to the author, which will be negotiated in advance before release.

What is slightly different from the previous life is that the royalty rate for normal authors is usually around 10-15%, and 20% is for first-class authors.

"good!"

"no problem!"

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lin Qiu would open his mouth!

If Lin Qiu insisted on a 25% royalty rate, it would be wrong for Qin Chuan to agree, and it would be wrong not to agree.

If the number of issuances increases, the risk of Xianque can be greatly reduced.

Once it sells well, Lin Qiu will earn a lot, and Xianque will earn a lot as well.

What's more, compared to direct profits, traffic is more important to Xianque!

…

Magic City.

Kaohsiung returned home in a daze.

"Husband! Husband, please say something!"

Kaohsiung's wife gently patted Kaohsiung's dull cheek, thinking something had happened to Kaohsiung.

"Is there something wrong with the company?"

"Tell me, let's face it together. Have you been fired?"

"It's okay. We can live through any life. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Kaohsiung's wife whispered beside Kaohsiung and kept comforting him.

After a long time, Kaohsiung came to his senses.

"Ah?"

"What? I'm asking you a question?"

"It's okay. I just found out a secret in the entertainment industry today. It shattered my three views."

Kaohsiung took a deep breath.

Just today, he knew another identity of Lin Qiu.

That is the author [Cement Sealed Heart] who has set off a storm in the online literature circle and attracted countless entertainment film and television companies!

The old dog thief turned out to be Lin Qiu?

No wonder...

No wonder the penalty for breach of contract in the confidentiality agreement is so terrible!

No wonder the copyright of the Fairy Sword is in Chang'an!

Kaohsiung was completely stunned.

This secret is very shocking. In the future, he must not drink a drop of alcohol to prevent leakage.

"Since it's a secret, I won't ask."

"But Lao Gao, you have to remember, don't do anything illegal, you still have a family, and we mother and daughter!"

"You can't help the evil!"

Kaohsiung's wife is well aware of the confidentiality agreement in the entertainment industry, so she didn't ask more questions, but still warned sternly!

"I know, it's not a secret in this regard."

Kaohsiung waved his hand.

"Forget it, I won't say anything. I'm on a flight tomorrow afternoon to Indiana to meet the crew of "Dying to Survive", which will probably take a few days."

"It's rare for my son to go to his grandmother's house, can I... kiss kiss?"

Kaohsiung's wife smiled gently and hugged Kaohsiung tightly.

After several years of marriage, they are still like newlyweds.

"I'm hungry."
