Li Zhenpeng has been the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Journal for nearly three years. He has come into contact with many poets and writers. Some are honest and honest, and some are cunning. However, there is no one as young as Jiang Yulou who speaks and acts impeccably. .
He couldn't help but glance at Ji Zhenghuai. Could it be that his old friend was behind the plan?
Ji Zhenghuai was smiling. When he saw Li Zhenpeng's suspicious eyes, his heart thumped, "That's bad. I'll take the blame for this kid."
He didn't explain, but looked at Li Zhenpeng with a smile, really like an old fox.
Ji Zhenghuai is here to fight for the interests of his students. If others misunderstand him, just misunderstand him.
Li Zhenpeng thought for a while and finally gave him a thorough explanation: "Xiao Jiang, that's good. Our poetry magazine can give you a price of 400 yuan for your poem."
This new poem is of good quality and has a pretty good artistic conception. In addition, Jiang Yulou is in full swing, so the price is quite appropriate.
This is also the final price given after discussions in their agency. No matter how high it is, it's not impossible, but Jiang Yulou's poems are love poems, and the club is afraid of having a bad impact.
After all, now is a critical period for building the motherland.
If I can get this song "Of course" for the top price of 300 yuan, the club will accept it, it won't cause bad discussions, and I can sell more magazines. It can be said that I can achieve multiple things with one stone.
This price is quite high in the society. The poetry magazine has been in existence for many years, and there are many manuscripts with royalties exceeding this figure. However, the number of poems or the number of words is much greater than this "Of course".
But it's actually quite normal. After all, times have changed, and "Of course" has not many lines, and it's very good.
The most important thing is that if we can once again create the sensation caused by "See or Not See" and sell more magazines, the money can be easily recovered.
The magazine didn’t lose money at all.
And a magazine like Poetry Magazine, with a circulation that easily exceeds one million, is not short of such a small amount of money.
Only three hundred yuan? Jiang Yulou was a little disappointed.
This price is not comparable to the figure offered by Yanhe. Otherwise, should it be left until next year?
At worst, I have agreed with Editor Li that this poem will only be published in Poetry Publishing House.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yulou shook his head and said slowly: "Editor Li, I want to think about it again."
Editor Li was startled and wanted to think about it. Was he not satisfied with the price offered by the agency?
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, if you are dissatisfied with anything, you can mention it."
Ji Zhenghuai said: "If you have any questions, just ask, the school and the old man will support you."
Jiang Yulou felt warm in his heart and said: "Since Editor Li said so, I will express my opinion. I feel that the remuneration offered by your company does not meet my psychological price."
"As expected, are you not satisfied with the remuneration?" Li Zhenpeng thought to himself.
Jiang Yulou continued: "The price Yanhe Literature paid me was the basic royalties for a poem plus the royalties for the number of prints. Calculated this way, I can earn at least 400 yuan per poem. If it sells well, I can earn more." . The price offered by your company does not include royalties for the number of prints. Even if it sells well, it has nothing to do with me, so I cannot accept it."
Li Zhenpeng sighed in his heart, after all, times have changed.
I remember when he was young, it was a great honor to publish articles and poems in magazines. Who would care whether it was money or not?
But today's young people are not satisfied if a poem can earn a year's salary of an ordinary worker.
He doesn't have any bad opinions about Jiang Yulou. After all, he is a young man and it is normal for his thinking to not be progressive enough.
Li Zhenpeng changed the topic and asked: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you have any plans to publish a collection of poems?"
"Collection of poems? Me?" Jiang Yulou pointed at himself with a strange expression.
Li Zhenpeng said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Jiang's poems are of very good quality. If you can get a few more poems, the Poetry Publishing House can publish a collection of poems for you."
At that time, the club held a meeting and actually worked out two options. One is to buy his poems for 300 yuan, and the other is to encourage him to publish a collection of poems.
After all, this poem is good, but there is only one, which is still too little.
If it's because he is special, other poets and writers won't do it.
But if you give up, Jiang Yulou's poems are so popular now. If you don't take advantage of the popularity of "See or Not See", Jiang Yulou is at the height of his fame and ride on this wave of popularity.
After waiting for a month, I will publish this poem in the next issue. The previous heat has passed and the day lilies have become cold.
Li Zhenpeng is the editor-in-chief of the Poetry Publishing House. In addition to being responsible for the readers, he is also responsible for the Poetry Publishing House.
He is not so conservative that he doesn't know how to adapt. Moreover, even if he doesn't understand the popularity, the people below will remind him.
Therefore, there were two options discussed at that time.
From his true heart, he hoped Jiang Yulou would agree to the first option.
He didn't quite agree with the second option.
He felt that Jiang Yulou was lucky to be able to compose such an excellent love poem on the spot. It would be strange if he could still compose it in batches.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yulou was moved.
In fact, he still has some stocks in his stomach. Even if the quality is not as good as "See or Not See" and "Of course", it is not too bad. It can be said to be above the standard, and it is also a love poem. It will not insult his love poem, the little prince. title.
If he could publish a collection of poems at the age of eighteen, his fame would probably really take off.
I just don’t know how royalties are calculated.
After all, he had no experience publishing a collection of poems.
Jiang Yulou asked: "How is the remuneration calculated? Is it still the same price as before?"
"It depends on the quality of the poem." Li Zhenpeng explained patiently.
Jiang Yulou asked again: "What about the ownership of the poetry collection?"
"Of course it belongs to the Poetry Publishing House." Li Zhenpeng said.
Jiang Yulou said tentatively: "But I don't want the publishing house to buy out the exclusive publishing rights for my works."
Li Zhenpeng shook his head repeatedly and said: "There is no precedent for this."
There is definitely no need to talk about this. No matter which magazine in China he goes to, it is impossible to give him this condition.
"Then I want to be paid for the number of prints." Jiang Yulou retreated and asked for the next best thing.
He can still get a share of the royalties for the number of copies printed. If the royalties were purely paid, he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup. He would just work for magazines and publishing houses.
Li Zhenpeng shook his head with a smile and said: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, it's not impossible for you to get paid for the number of prints, but we have to look at the quality of the poem first. If the quality is not up to standard, whatever we say now will not count."
He felt that Jiang Yulou thought too much, so he might as well just get the royalties and forget about it. Why did he do so many tricks?
"Okay, I'll write it now." Jiang Yulou agreed readily.
"What, write now?"
Ji Zhenghuai had a sense of immediate vision that reappeared yesterday.
Li Zhenpeng also squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Yulou. Whether he was speaking arrogantly or he was really confident would soon be revealed.
