Writing novels is invincible

"Congratulations, for the first time in life, the first order has exceeded [-], and you have received the first order of [-] gift packs. Do you want to open it?"

"Congratulations, for the first time in your life, you have broken [-] average subscriptions, and you have received a [-] average subscription gift package. Do you want to open it?"

His cheat is like a ruthless prize-giving machine, the gift packs never stop, and he doesn’t need to recharge the money himself. In addition to being completely inconsiderate of his mood, he always emphasizes the words "first time in life" every time , and other aspects made Chu Tianxing very satisfied.

Naturally, the gift packs are opened at any time, and the ones that are opened are all five-level or nine-yin scripture-level martial arts.

Chu Tianxing has been under the impact of constantly refreshing gift packages, and his experience is as clear as ice, and the sky is not shocked.Wujue level and Jiuyin level martial arts can only make him smile slightly.

He casually clicked to learn the newly developed martial arts, and after trying a few hands, he sat down in front of the computer, opened Huankong.com, and logged into the author's zone, ready to check the growth of subscriptions.

As soon as I entered the author's background, I saw a new message in the message box. I clicked on it and saw that it was a message from the editing factory flower:

"Skywalker, your novel has passed the final review of the publishing house and can be published in real form! I have given your Dangdang account to the publishing house, and the publishing house will take the initiative to contact you in the near future to discuss signing a contract with you. Pay attention to the friend application!"

Seeing this message, Chu Tianxing lifted his spirits, and immediately logged into the Dangdang account. Sure enough, he received a friend request.

Click on the friend application, and the verification information is simple and clear, "Publisher, talk about signing a contract", and then look at the applicant's name, which is called "Chief Editor of Daming Royal Bookstore", and the avatar looks like a five-clawed golden dragon seal.

"I'll go, Daming Royal Bookstore? Is it so big?"

Chu Tianxing muttered in his heart, and passed the friend application.

Ask for a ticket!

024, super newcomer treatment

"Hi Skywalker, I am the editor-in-chief of Daming Royal Bookstore. Congratulations, your novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes has passed the final review for publication. Would you like to sign a contract with our publishing house for publication?"

Of course Chu Tianxing was willing.

He deliberately checked it on the Internet, and found that the Daming Royal Bookstore is indeed a royal property, with a profound background and strong strength.

For books that can be published in the Royal Bookstore, there is no need to worry about publicity, sales, royalties, etc., everything can be properly arranged.

If the sales are booming and the impact is sufficient, the film and television adaptation can be arranged properly by the Royal Bookstore - although the Ming royal family has no real power, it still has a great advantage in business.

Out of reputation considerations, the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty has never been involved in controversial industries such as real estate and finance. Its main industries are the cultural and entertainment industry, as well as the booming Internet industry.

Among the largest publishing houses in Ming Dynasty, Daming Royal Bookstore occupies a seat among them.

The largest film and television entertainment companies, "Emperor Ming Films" run by the Ming royal family also took a seat.

Therefore, being able to sign a contract with the Royal Bookstore, and the Royal Bookstore will be responsible for publishing the novel, then the film and television adaptation will be greatly facilitated in the future, which is perfect for Chu Tianxing who is afraid of trouble.

Immediately, he replied without hesitation: "My novel will naturally be entrusted to Guishufang for publication. Please take care of me in the future."

The editor-in-chief of Royal Bookstore replied:

"Let's take care of each other. We've done research, and based on the popularity of your novel on the Internet and the online sales that started in the early morning, we believe that your book has the potential to explode. Publishing your novel should give Our Royal Bookstore brings a lot of benefits. Publishing this book is a win-win for you and me.

"Also, what are your requirements for royalties?"

Chu Tianxing thought for a while, and replied: "According to the information I found on the Internet, it seems that the Royal Bookstore's royalties for new authors are generally [-]%?"

The editor-in-chief of Royal Bookstore replied:

"Yes. Generally, novice writers who have just debuted, because they have no historical achievements, we generally only give [-]% of the royalties. But even so, the authors of any novels that we are optimistic about and sign can get extremely rich Income. After all, the strength of our Royal Bookstore in physical publishing is beyond doubt."

In addition to buyouts, the royalty income of physical publishing is generally calculated by borrowing the price of the book, multiplying the total number of copies printed or sold, and then multiplying by the royalty rate.

For example, if a book is priced at 20, sells [-] copies, and the royalty rate is [-]%, then the author can get [-] royalties.

If 100 million copies can be sold, the author can get 120 million royalties.

Therefore, the author's royalty income is linked to the sales volume. The more sales, the more the author earns.

And as the editor-in-chief of Royal Bookstore said, Royal Bookstore has a profound background, strong strength, and has a huge number of publicity channels and sales networks.

And out of the consideration of the royal family's reputation, the Royal Bookstore will never hide the actual sales volume to cheat the author.

In addition, Daming attaches great importance to intellectual property rights, and the crackdown on piracy is extremely severe.At least in terms of physical books, there are almost no pirated copies on the market.

Daming has a supermarket with a population of 16 billion, and the civilization of Daming radiates to the surrounding areas. The surrounding countries such as Koryo, Fusang, Annan, etc., are extremely fond of Daming culture.Most of the popular novels that can sell well in Ming Dynasty can also sell well in the surrounding small countries.

So as long as the novels are favored and signed by the Royal Bookstore, even if the novice-level royalties are only [-]%, novice authors can basically make a lot of money.

Originally, as a novice author with no historical achievements, Chu Tianxing would only give him [-]% of the royalties according to the usual rules of the Royal Bookstore.

However, the editor-in-chief of the bookstore seems to be particularly optimistic about his Legend of the Condor Heroes. After explaining the rules of the Royal Bookstore to him, he continued:

"However, our editorial department is very optimistic about your novel, and we all agree that your novel will definitely become a hit, and it is especially suitable for film and television adaptation. Out of optimism about your future potential, we decided to break the convention and increase the treatment for you.

"As long as you promise that your next novel will also be published by our bookstore, we can increase the royalties of your first novel to [-]%—to focus, it's the 'first volume'.

"Your book Shooting Condors should have a million words, right? In this way, five volumes will be published. The royalties for the first volume of Shooting Condors are [-]%. It will be gradually increased. It is [-]% for the second volume, [-]% for the third volume, and [-]% of the maximum amount for the fourth volume."

As a new author, this treatment is already quite generous.

Chu Tianxing thought for a while and asked, "Please tell me, what is 'sales in line with expectations'? How many copies must be sold for the first volume to be considered in line with expectations?"

The editor-in-chief of the Royal Bookstore replied: "As a newcomer writer, you only need to sell [-] copies in the first month, which is considered to be in line with expectations."

[-] volumes in the first month?

Is it too much?

Not much, however.

With a huge market of 16 billion people, an environment where there are almost no pirated copies of physical books, and Chinese people's habit of always loving reading, the best-selling book market in Daming has developed extremely well.

Last year, a novel that ranked first in the book sales list had a total annual sales volume of more than 200 million copies.On average, more than one million copies are sold every month.

Of course, that is the achievement of a famous best-selling author.

However, even for a new author who is not well-known, it is not impossible for the new book to sell [-] copies in the first month of its release under the strong recommendation of the Royal Bookstore.

Of course, this is a requirement for potential fire books.

If it wasn't for the extremely high expectations of this film, and Chu Tianxing's unconventional high treatment, then as a pure new author's debut work, if the book can sell [-] to [-] copies in the first month of publication, it can be regarded as a novel. It's a bestseller.

Chu Tianxing is very confident about whether he can achieve the sales target.

Isn't that [-] copies in the first month?

Just a small goal.

"Then it's settled." He replied to the editor-in-chief of the Royal Bookstore: "I trust the reputation of the Royal Bookstore. The next novel is naturally going to be published by the Royal Bookstore. So, can we sign the contract now?"
