“Your savings card account ending in 9527 issued an income of 3,347,556.12 yuan in manuscript fees at 19:21 on June 12, and the current balance was 3,347,556.12 yuan. [ICBC]”
Li Chungang is reading the documents handed over by Luo Wen, which is actually a simple letter of authorization for literary agency. After Party A, the writer himself, signs this agreement, Party B, the literary agent (studio), will be solely responsible for A All the corresponding things of Fang’s work.
The screen of the mobile phone placed on the right side suddenly rang. It was the unique notification sound of the mobile phone text message instead of the WeChat message. I thought that it would be good to turn my head to take a look at the general content, but I didn’t think that it was this one glance that made his eyes stop. Can’t move either.
Happiness comes so suddenly!
According to the publication time of a Chinese website, the distribution time of the manuscript fee is between the 10th and the 15th of each month. There will be a certain distribution time gap between different banks. It is promised that the payment will be completed within 15 days at the latest.
Who knows the efficiency of industry and commerce, and it cannot be ruled out that today’s trip to a certain Chinese website has played a role in supervising and urging, so there is a situation in which the publication fee is sent to SMS notification at night.
“Everyone’s time is precious, so let’s get straight to the point. Maybe you think this thing of yours is very sincere, but I’m sorry…”
The moment he heard the words “I’m sorry” came out of Li Chungang’s mouth, Luo Wen felt that his heart had stopped beating a little. The confidence and tension before departure seemed to disappear at this moment, and the rest Totally heartbroken.
“I’m sorry that if I didn’t meet you, I know almost nothing about literary agents, so I can’t see the sincerity of your agreement, but you can tell me in detail, just from this literary agent How does the general rake rate start to be calculated…”
For literary agents, their income is closely related to the income of writers of flag agents. If the income of writers is too low, there is no way to maintain the most basic expenses of the studio.
There are only two paths in front of these literary agency studios: either the quantity exceeds the quality, and a large number of writers are signed, similar to casting a wide net, catching more fish, and finally choosing the best, just to stand out from this large number of writers Either one can bring a lot of profit to the studio.
Either the quality is greater than the quantity, and having a best-selling author has become one of ten or even one hundred!
The former requires a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise how can it handle the workload brought by signing so many writers; the latter is more concerned with the luck and strength of the studio.
Now Luo Wen is 100% sure that Li Chungang is the potential stock that must be caught. The subscription fee for “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” in a certain Chinese network channel is not counted. According to what he learned from his peers, it is only published domestically. The basic income of copyright is more than one million, not to mention the royalties brought by subsequent sales.
Li Chungang knows that he will come up with more and better works in the future. If the literary agent cannot fully share his worries, the signing of the contract is like giving money to others for nothing. Since it is giving money, he might as well put these Donating money to do good deeds can at least help more people.
Rowan felt that his mood was like riding a roller coaster at this time. The ups and downs almost made people carry it back in one breath. Even if there was no heart disease, he would almost have a heart attack.
“The revenue share ratio of the literary agency industry was first based on the contract between foreign counterparts and domestic brokers. The industry regulation is 10% of copyright and royalty income. Of course, this ratio varies from person to person. As far as I know, there are also the top ones. Agency studios charge up to 50%.”
There are all kinds of benefit distributions, and there are even literary agency studios that have signed a 3+5 training agreement with the writer, that is, in addition to the basic guaranteed income from the works written by the writer in the first three years, all the rest of the income belongs to the studio. Euphemistically called training cost recovery.
After the studio has made the writer popular through various resources and contacts, the writer will continue to cooperate with the studio for up to five years, and the specific share of the five-year cooperation will be known only to both parties.
These percentages are all negotiable for both parties!
After listening to Luo Wen’s explanation of their general rules, Li Chungang was able to judge why the other party regarded this agreement as the greatest sincerity.
Because Rowan stated in the agreement that the ratio of literary agents to be drawn is only 5%, which is more than double that of the rules!
What would you think if it was you who got half the salary of someone else in the same position?
“I believe that you can get as much as you pay! The 5% commission ratio seems to you to be sincere, but at the same time, I can’t help but doubt whether you can wholeheartedly create greater benefits for me.”
Many misunderstandings were caused by the lack of timely communication. Li Chungang did not want to cause any misunderstandings in cooperation after the two parties signed the contract, so he chose to speak out his doubts bluntly.
Luo Wen was also very refreshing. He was confident to keep Li Chungang, so he said calmly: “Compared with heart, I understand that you have such doubts. I can only tell you here that I, Luo Wen, will never do this! Of course, there is no excuse. It’s hard to be convincing, so at the end of the agreement…
I specially revised the breach of contract regulations, Party A can unilaterally terminate the literary agency relationship with Party B at will without any reason! I think this is the greatest sincerity I can give you. I am confident that I can win your trust with my actions and performance! “
“…”
Speaking of heartfelt words~www.mtlnovel.com~ Li Chungang was indeed completely moved by Luo Wen’s words, but his heart was moved, and some things and sometimes the reality should be forced to be realistic.
“The conditions you offered and your sincerity touched me, but I still need to see your strength. “Ghost Blowing the Lantern” has been finished, I believe you are clear, the current top five online texts are not only focusing on women’s frequency texts Everyone outside of Lehuang is inviting me with a covenant from the Great God.
I will not sign this formal agreement for the time being, but we can sign an interim agreement, and this time the negotiation with the website to renew the contract is the test I will give you.
As for the benefits of the Great God’s Covenant, you try to fight for me as much as possible, and the number of completed works should be as few as possible. I don’t want to hang on a tree, can you understand? “
“Don’t worry, it’s our literary agent’s job to strive for more interests for writers, you can rest assured and wait for my good news!”
Although it was only a temporary agreement, Luo Wen knew that he had succeeded. If he didn’t want to lose face in front of Li Chungang, he would probably have left tears of excitement.
“Don’t be in a hurry, I’ll show you something first!”
After saying that, Li Chungang pressed the unlock button of the phone and brought the screen of the phone, which was lit up again, in front of Luo Wen’s eyes, so that the other party could clearly see the content of the text message.
100,000,000,000,000,000… More than 3.4 million draft fees!
“The 5% share is more than 170,000 yuan. This is my first monthly manuscript fee, but unfortunately you have missed your first 5%…” Li Chungang paused slightly and continued:
“But you can win more 5% for yourself in the future!”
