Chapter 50 - Success or failure is here
Although literary agents are an emerging profession, are there really so few in number?
Is it true that no one among literary agency studios or literary agents sees the potential represented by the name “Zhichunzhigang”?
neither!
The first person who dares to eat crabs is often the time when the profit is the greatest, but also the time when they need to take the greatest risk.
In fact, in the foreign literary industry chain, literary agents have long become an indispensable and important part.
For writers, they are the planners of their writing career; for publishers, they are the bridge between them and authors.
From Li Chungang’s point of view, a literary agent is an agent who allows him to concentrate on “copying books”!
It’s just that in recent years, the division of labor for domestic literature copyright has not been clear, and the upstream of the literature industry chain has become seriously tyrannical. The large-scale literary works contracts have greatly squeezed the living environment of literary agents, resulting in the current literary agents are still in the stars. In the stage of fire, when it will start to burn is still unknown.
Luo Wen believes that most of his colleagues are in a wait-and-see state at this time, especially when “Ghost Blowing the Lantern” is suddenly completed and the news of the new book is not yet clear, he has repulsed a large number of literary agents. .
Because “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” has already signed a contract with Longteng Chinese.com, the room for their literary agents to intervene is infinitely close to zero. At present, investing in Chunzhigang is more like investing in his future!
Sitting on one of the tables in the sphere revolving restaurant on the Oriental Pearl Tower, Luo Wen, who was quietly waiting for Li Chungang’s arrival, couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, who would have thought that a liberal arts champion who was regarded by most people in China as the seed of future literature was also on the Internet Wen has made a big name in this arena.
Although the Internet literature also has its literary character, it is undeniable that the Internet literature is becoming more and more ignorant and homogenized!
This kind of young writer with rich creative ability and unlimited topics is undoubtedly an absolute potential stock. He can’t control what other colleagues think, at least in Rowan, there is absolutely no doubt!
Those long-established super-best-selling authors or the god-level writers of major online novel sites can’t turn to them as literary agents.
Those people have already jumped out of the framework of novel websites. Later and weaker ones, they set up their own studios and recruited special staff to run novel works for them. Those who really stood at the top of the pyramid started their own companies. Potential stocks are the best choice for these literary agents!
If…if Li Chungang can really be signed, as long as the cooperative relationship between the two sides still exists, then there should be no need to worry about income in the next few decades.
The shelf life of a writer is until the moment when the coffin is closed. As long as the writer does not voluntarily close the pen and abandon the writing, then the older the writer, the more valuable it is. One stroke!
It’s a pity that many writers with small achievements and signs have no awareness of looking for literary agents at all, and have never even heard of it.
The writing style of going it alone can no longer adapt to reality. Almost all of today’s popular writers have signed up for literary agencies, both in personal and studio formats. Otherwise, who would have so much time to create and self-package?
Not every writer is like Li Chungang. There is a [Literature Encyclopedia System]. They need to use their brains to create and spend a lot of time to create them. He only needs krypton gold, and enough gold can be unlocked. Any works!
Choosing a literary agent is an important matter for the future development of a writer. No matter how cautious you can be, a good literary agent can increase Li Chungang’s income several times, while an unreliable literary agent can Minutes in turn entrapped his interests.
On the way to the appointment, Li Chungang pondered slowly in his mind, and listed out the requirements he needed one by one in advance, so that he could ask for it in a while. If the other party could agree quickly, that would be great. .
If you can’t agree, it can also be used as a basis for continuing to find the next literary agent!
Artists are afraid of signing the wrong agent, and writers are also afraid of finding the wrong literary agent. If they sign an agent who knows his face but does not know his heart, it is estimated that Li Chungang will not have time to regret it.

About ten minutes before the agreed seven o’clock sharp, Li Chungang, dressed in a simple and comfortable casual outfit, appeared in front of Luo Wen.
“Mr. Zhichun Zhigang? I’m Luo Wen. I’ve seen your photos. The reality is more friendly and attractive.”
“You are the Luo Wen on the phone? You are considered an elder because you are older than me. In fact, you don’t need to be so polite. It’s embarrassing for me to listen to you, so you should just call me Li Chungang.
Besides, since you offered me a free meal at the revolving restaurant of the Oriental Pearl Tower, I wouldn’t turn around and leave, would I? “
Li Chungang’s half-joking opening remarks immediately dispelled the last trace of nervousness in Luo Wen’s heart, and at the same time he strengthened his vision for selecting candidates. A person’s quality is often the most important thing than everything else.
“You’re right! Look at the menu and order first, and we’ll talk slowly after we’re full.”
Li Chungang nodded and took the menu~www.mtlnovel.com~ but did not open it immediately, but both sides pressed the menu, looked at each other, and said seriously: “I think it is better to talk about it before eating. Better. Whether the final result is good or bad, at least it doesn’t affect our enjoyment of food, right?”
“Exactly!”
“Well, let me briefly talk about my own situation: I have created a Wenquan literary agency studio by myself. The scale is still in the early stages. Besides me, there are three employees. A potential web novel writer like you…”
“Venus is like a spring, and the name is not bad. Let me ask: How many writers are there currently under your studio?”
Since he is a partner, Li Chungang naturally wants to fully understand the strength of his future partner.
“There is only one! It is an author who is creating and is currently in charge of an employee of our studio. Frankly speaking, the pressure to create your own studio in a place like Shanghai is always more stressful than expected. , I have emptied my family for so many years in just three months.”
“Then what if I didn’t agree to cooperate with you today?” Li Chungang said bluntly.
“There is a beginning and an end, and after the last month of work, it will be closed down!” Luo Wen can understand Li Chungang’s concerns, “Although our studio is small, it is not without small benefits, as long as you sign with me, I can promise that the entire Wenquan Literary Agency will serve you!”
In order to increase his convincing power, Luo Wen took out the document bag he had prepared for a long time, and handed the agency contract that had been drawn up in front of Li Chungang, and said solemnly:
“This is the greatest sincerity I can give!”
