What kind of author, if lost, would be considered a loss to Egger?
Han Qin couldn't empathize with Xiao Niu's words now.
If the top author signed by "Aige" wants to terminate the contract, Han Qin will indeed be troubled for a while, but she will definitely not think that it is an irreparable loss.
The platform is still there, the magazine's circulation is still there, a talented author is gone, but there are still many talented authors waiting to be made famous by Aige!
Han Qin was very angry at what Xiao Niu said.
What made her even more angry was that the next morning, Zou Weijun called Han Qin and told her that Rongcheng Publishing Group was planning to sign a publishing contract with Wen Ying.
"If your publication has no objection."
Han Qin certainly had some opinions.
But how could she admit defeat in front of Zou Weijun?
Until this moment, Han Qin still believed that Wen Ying and Zou Weijun were in cahoots, and that Chengdu Publishing Group would never agree to a tiered royalty contract with a maximum royalty rate of 15%!
"No comments. Congratulations to Editor Zou for signing a promising work."
Han Qin's tone was cold, but Zou Weijun didn't care.
Winners should be more graceful.
"Editor-in-Chief Han, we should sit down and talk again. Once Wen Ying signs a contract with us, we need to discuss the serialization time of "Teenage Idol" in your magazine. I want to find a plan that will not harm the interests of your magazine and can publish "Teenage Idol" as soon as possible. You—"
Before Zou Weijun could finish his words, a busy tone came from his phone.
Han Qin hung up the phone.
Zou Weijun was helpless: "Editor-in-Chief Han has a really bad temper, but it doesn't matter, leave these matters to me, you just need to focus on finishing the manuscript of "Young Idol"."
Han Qin didn't want to talk, and Zou Weijun didn't bother to accommodate her. Regardless of how "Aige" planned to be serialized, Zou Weijun had his own plans for the publication and release of "Young Idol."
When Zou Weijun called, Wen Ying was with him.
Wen Ying had experienced Han Qin's temper yesterday, so it was not surprising that she had this attitude today.
I wonder if the little salamander was scolded yesterday?
Half an hour after Han Qin hung up the phone, Wen Ying received a text message from Xiao Niu: "Xiao Yu, goodbye, looking forward to seeing you next time!"
In fact, they both knew that Wen Ying and Han Qin had fallen out, and they would not be able to meet in the near future. However, Xiao Niu was a gentle and optimistic girl. Even if there was no chance in the short term, she was looking forward to meeting again - even if the cooperation failed, their personal friendship would still be there!
Wen Ying is also looking forward to meeting again.
I hope that when we meet again next time, I will no longer be a new author without the right to talk, and Xiao Niu will no longer be a new editor without the right to speak!
"Auntie Zou, sign the contract. I'm ready."
The contract that Zou Weijun had someone drafted not only stipulated the calculation method of royalties and actual sales, as well as the settlement period, but also specified Wen Ying's responsibilities.
It is now the end of May, and Wen Ying needs to hand over the remaining manuscript content of "Teenage Idol" to Zou Weijun before July 15th.
"Once your book is finished, it will still need to be proofread and edited. We'll also need to set the pages and start printing. I hope 'Teenage Idol' will be available in early August. As for your royalties, I'll advance you 30,000 when the book is released. The rest will be settled three months after the release!"
It will be listed in August and royalties will be settled every three months. In addition to the 30,000 yuan advance payment from Zou Weijun, Wen Ying will be able to receive the first quarter's royalties around November.
November is a good time.
Tianjiao’s first drama must have made money, and the royalties have also been received. If Wen Ying transfers all the cash she has, she will have no problem buying a house in Shanghai!
The end of 2005 was a good time to buy a house at a bargain price in Shanghai.
Wen Ying had no objection and signed her name readily.
"Didn't you say you wanted to ask a lawyer to look over the contract?"
Zou Weijun still remembers what Wen Ying said yesterday.
Wen Ying smiled and said, "When signing a contract with Editor-in-Chief Han, of course I would have to ask a lawyer to look over the contract. But when signing a contract with you, I don't need to do that. I definitely trust you."
Oops, this won’t work!
Just because I won’t cheat this little girl doesn’t mean others won’t cheat her!
Zou Weijun grabbed Wen Ying and gave her a good lecture. Wen Ying nodded obediently, with an expression that said "Auntie Zou, everything you said is right", which made Zou Weijun helpless and amused.
"Okay, you can go back and find some time to write. There's still plenty of time until mid-July, so don't rush. The quality of the next 120,000 words must be guaranteed!"
Zou Weijun gave Wen Ying the deadline of July 15th, which was half a month into summer vacation. Wen Ying didn't have time to write during normal times, but she would definitely have some time during summer vacation.
After signing and fingerprinting, and completing the whole process, Zou Weijun still had to stay at the company to work overtime. Wen Ying came out of the office building of Rongcheng Publishing Group alone, with her first publishing contract in her backpack.
With whom can I share this joy?
Manager Chen will definitely not be happy.
Lao Wen now often calls herself the head of the family, but in fact she is becoming more and more arrogant. Manager Chen is unhappy, and Lao Wen does not dare to congratulate her.
Xie Qian... Xie Qian went to the Demon Realm for important matters. Will I disturb Xie Qian now?
Li Mengjiao could do it, but she is out of town participating in promotions and may not even be able to answer her phone.
Wen Ying thought about it quickly and selected the most suitable candidate. She took out her phone and called Deng Shangwei. After briefly explaining the situation, Wen Ying asked Deng Shangwei:
"Uncle, are you happy for me? If I have good news, I'll be the first to tell you!"
"...Happy, I'm really happy."
Deng Shangwei was so happy that he wanted to cry.
What kind of idiot would dig a hole and bury himself? He is just like that!
