Duan Jiajia did not rush back to the hotel, but went to the high school in her previous life.
The affiliated high schools in the provincial capital are among the best in the province in terms of enrollment rates, and the provincial number one students are almost always taken over by the affiliated high schools.
Duan Jiajia looked at the familiar gate, lying on the stone pier across the road and sighed.
Speaking of which, she was quite happy when she was in high school in the provincial capital in her previous life. She had several close friends.
However, Duan Jiajia started writing novels in high school in her last life. However, there are a lot of magazine materials that can be collected in the provincial capital. In addition, Duan Jiajia mainly wrote romance novels at the time, so the magazine she submitted to was naturally not "Martial Arts Dream" .
Duan Jiajia didn't want to trouble the editor he met in his previous life, but he still hoped to never meet him.
After leaving the affiliated middle school, Duan Jiajia went to a few more places and bought some delicious snacks that she remembered, preparing to eat them together when Sui Jiali came back from get out of class after class.
When noon was approaching, Duan Jiajia found a small fry shop to have something to eat.
As soon as I ordered my food, I heard voices coming from the table behind me.
"Our royalties are very good. You originally had a good romance, but your heroine is too strong, and her martial arts skills are higher than that of the hero. This is not very popular. If you change it again, I can fight for it for you. The manuscript fee is five yuan per thousand words. If you write a book like this, as a student, it is already very high!"
"Don't look at me like that. This is really a very conscientious treatment. Do you know Lu Xiu, who is very famous for writing martial arts recently? Lu Xiu is a newcomer, and his salary is average. Your income is no worse than Lu Xiu!"
"Green Sleeves is lucky. The first book I wrote was made into a TV series by a TV station in Hong Kong. Would you like to try someone else's? I can say that with your writing style and story structure, our "Tumi" is definitely the best. treatment, otherwise you wouldn’t continue talking to me!”
Duan Jiajia stopped pouring tea the moment she heard the sound.
She was still thinking just now, never meet that cheating editor.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that I met him on the second day after arriving in the provincial capital.
And by chance, I bumped into the other person using similar words to deceive others.
The novel Duan Jiajia wrote in his previous life was submitted to "Tumi", and the editor who came to sign the contract was named He Wenbin.
He looks gentle and gentle, and his words sound pleasant to the ear. In addition, He Wenbin is a good talker and can present various cases.
Duan Jiajia didn't tell Duan Shunan about this at the time, and was actually deceived by He Wenbin into signing the contract.
It was later discovered that the magazine’s contract contained wordplay.
Duan Jiajia's novel is equivalent to a buyout to the magazine. All she can get is a royalties of ten yuan per thousand words, and everything that follows has nothing to do with her.
For this reason, Duan Jiajia also filed a lawsuit with the magazine. In the end, Duan Jiajia won the lawsuit because Duan Jiajia was underage at the time.
Because of Duan Jiajia's book, He Wenbin made a lot of money for the magazine even if the magazine lost the lawsuit, so he became the editor-in-chief of "Tumi".
When they met again later, He Wenbin even chatted with Duan Jiajia over tea several times.
He obviously didn't dare to target Duan Jiajia, but he always fanned the flames and instigated other authors to go against Duan Jiajia.
At that time, Duan Jiajia wasted a lot of time and energy because of these things.
"Sign it! Our magazine can't guarantee to praise you like the Green Sleeves in "Martial Arts Dream", but it certainly won't treat you badly. Otherwise, why should I come here? Right!" He Wenbin has a straight face and still Wearing a pair of glasses, he looks harmless.
Sitting opposite is a girl.
Not very old, probably just coming of age.
When he heard He Wenbin talking about Green Sleeves, his eyes were full of envy.
"I want to take another look at the contract." After all, the girl was older than Duan Jiajia at the time, and she was naturally more thoughtful.
He Wenbin adjusted his glasses: "Of course!"
The girl read the contract again. Reading it in a superficial way would not be of much use.
In order to play this word game, "Tumi" hired a professional lawyer to draw up a contract. Unless you get it to a law firm and have the lawyer look at it carefully, it is difficult for ordinary people to confirm what the terms in the contract mean.
Duan Jiajia successfully won the lawsuit at that time, but He Wenbin thought that Duan Jiajia and Duan Shunan's father and daughter did not dare to make a big fuss, and they could settle it with a little scare.
Who would have known that Duan Shunan directly sued Tumi.
In addition, Duan Jiajia signed the contract as a minor, so it would be easier to handle.
This is where the horse missed its stride!
Otherwise, we don’t know how long the dispute will last.
Later, after the online article market emerged, He Wenbin directly stabbed his old leader in the back, completely emptied the magazine, took away the team, started a new cultural company, and built a small website.
After signing the contract with the author, the works will be packaged and sent to online writing channels, with a low price as a guarantee. If you see a good one, you will spend money to promote it, but the promotion fee will be borne by the author.
In other words, the royalties must be deducted from the promotion costs and then shared with the author.
For a work that may earn a million dollars a month, after deducting the promotion fee and then dividing the profit, the author will be left with less than a hundred thousand yuan.
After all, the backend of such a small website is also opaque.
Duan Jiajia has heard of some tricks of He Wenbin's website.
Editors will look for authors who have written good results, and those who generally earn more than the guaranteed income will be converted into a share, so that they can collect another channel fee every quarter.
If the author has the intention to write a new work, the channel fee for that quarter will be higher. If there is no intention, the channel fee will drop off a cliff.
He Wenbin never regards authors as human beings, but only as his own employees who make money.
"Wait a minute!" Duan Jiajia stood up and walked to the table: "Miss, are you a law student?"
Duan Jiajia's appearance stunned both He Wenbin and the girl.
After turning around, Duan Jiajia recognized him.
This girl is actually Jiang Yao, the future martial arts romance author?
If He Wenbin was Duan Jiajia's cheating editor in his previous life, then Jiang Yao was Duan Jiajia's competitor.
Although martial arts works are gradually declining, the emergence of online literature has given the martial arts genre a small resurgence.
After the turn of the millennium, a group of young authors writing martial arts novels emerged.
Duan Jiajia later gradually started to contribute to online literature, and she and Jiang Yao were still "competitors" on the same website.
Saw it at several author conferences.
But Jiang Yao came to the fore only in the late 1990s, after the Rongshu website appeared.
Duan Jiajia didn't have much contact with Jiang Yao. The so-called "rival" was also mentioned by some people on the Internet. There are also rumors that Duan Jiajia provoked Jiang Yao at an author conference.
Duan Jiajia thought it was true.
So... Jiang Yao was suppressed for several years before she emerged. Is it also because of "Tumi"?
