The royalty rate for the novel of the same name "Galaxy and You" was negotiated with the publishing house at 12%, with Wen Ying and Tian Jiao each taking half. The reason they couldn't negotiate it to 15% was because the publishing house also had to cooperate with the TV series promotion and had to give up a portion of the profits to the publishing house.
Xie Qian asked how much the royalties for "Xun Yong" were.
Wen Ying had no intention of hiding anything. "Auntie Zou said business is business. 'Xun Yong' is my attempt at a new subject, and I'm not sure if the market will buy it. If we sign a publishing contract now, Auntie Zou can give me 13% of the royalties directly, or we can wait and serialize a few issues to see the market response. If the market response is good, she can give me up to 15%."
A 15% royalty is extremely high in the industry.
The tiered royalties of "Young Idol" are no longer applicable to "Xun Yong". Wen Ying is no longer a new writer, and it would be too boring to start with a 6% royalty rate.
Xie Qian thought for a moment. "My mom is a business person, and so are you. Why bother considering the market reaction? Just ask for 15% royalties now. If Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House disagrees, you still have other options."
Wen Ying was stunned.
When it comes to negotiation, Wen Ying certainly knows the skills.
With "Teenage Idol" as a foundation, Wen Ying was not afraid of not finding a publishing house to cooperate with for the Jiuding series, but Wen Ying and Zou Weijun had a pleasant cooperation and never thought about changing to other publishing houses!
Between emotion and interests, Wen Ying chose emotion. It’s not because Wen Ying is too stupid, but because Wen Ying believes that Zou Weijun will not let her suffer any loss.
It was just a matter of waiting for a few months. The market response to "Xun Yong" was good, and Zou Weijun gave Wen Ying 15% of the royalties. Everyone in the publishing house was convinced.
But Xie Qian suggested that Wen Ying choose interests. Since Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House could not give Wen Ying the conditions she wanted, then she should switch to a new publishing house that could meet Wen Ying's conditions and use "job hopping" to threaten Zou Weijun... To be honest, Wen Ying couldn't save face.
Peng Guoqing came over with his plate and just in time to hear Xie Qian's words, he immediately joined the stunned group: I thought I was the only jerk and unfilial son, but it turns out Xie Qian isn't much better! !
