Chapter 40: Royalties

According to the contact information left at the time of submission, Yang Feng contacted Lin Yuan that night: "Hello, are you Chu Kuang himself? I am Yang Feng, the review editor of the Silver Blue Book Library Supernova Awards."

"Hello, I am."

Lin Yuan answered the phone in the dormitory.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "Congratulations, after the decision of our supernova review team, we will choose the novel "Net King" as the fifth place in this supernova award, which means that your novel will be published and the specific contract Can I send it to you via email, add the address book first?"

Lin Yuan said happily: "Okay."

Although the system was so ridiculous, he was not sure that the novel "Net King" would definitely pass the newcomer award. This call made him feel more relieved. It seems that the system is still trustworthy.

after hanging up.

The two added the address book.

Yang Feng quickly sent a contract. The content of the contract stated that the initial publication quantity of "Net King" was 100,000 copies, and the price was 21 yuan per copy, and the royalties were 5%, a relatively standard price for newcomers.

Explain here.

The so-called royalties are not conventional taxes understood by ordinary people, but copyright royalties exercised by publishing companies. They are the monetary benefits that the original creator or copyright holder of intellectual property collects from other people who use their intellectual property.

Lin Yuan didn't feel pitted.

If it is the physical novel market in the past life, the newcomer will basically buy out the copyright for the first publication of the book, and there will be no accounting for subsequent printing. It will be better when the newcomer has accumulated a certain amount of capital, unless any newcomer has a publishing house. You can get special treatment, so in this regard, Blue Star is already more conscientious.

After reading the contract.

Lin Yuan agreed to sign.

By the way, he also directly sent the plot of the next 100,000 characters of "The King of Nets" to the other party. The publisher needs time to correct the novel, such as some sentences are inappropriate, or there are typos.

Lin Yuan understands this very well.

Unfortunately, they basically won't have this opportunity, because the systematic typos correction is the most accurate, and the subjective things such as wording and sentences may be slightly adjusted.

received the manuscript.

Yang Feng is not surprised.

Now that the manuscript has been submitted, it must be ready to pass. The plot of the first volume is written in advance, which is normal, but when he intends to chat with Chu Kuang a few more words, he is surprised to find that the other party has already gone offline. Up!

Yang Feng: ""

In this industry, newcomer authors generally lick editors, even some not so big-name novelists will put themselves very low in order to get special attention from editors, and most of them only dare to shiver in the face of editors' reminders. Locked himself in the small black room obediently code word.

But this Chu Kuang is different.

After he talked to himself about the contract, he went offline directly, which made Yang Feng a little confused. He didn't expect Chu Kuang, the newcomer, to kneel and lick himself. He even disliked the author kneeling and editing. Phenomenon.

But the problem is.

I still want to have a good communication with Chu Kuang. After all, he is very optimistic about Chu Kuang, so he originally planned to talk to him about the market and the future direction of novel creation. By the way, he would give some professional guidance and suggestions...

is facing the black head at the moment.

He held back the words abruptly.

Considering that the other party is still a student, he probably has no social experience. Yang Feng is not angry. He just finds it funny. If he still wants to develop in this industry, the boy will know the scaryness of editors in the future.

It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't want to talk to Yang Feng, but he is now ready to go to bed. Although the system has increased Lin Yuan's lifespan, it has not improved Lin Yuan's physique. Therefore, Lin Yuan is still very fragile now. The consequences of sleeping on time are serious.

Lin Yuan is a patient.

It is possible that his terminal illness has been effectively treated, but this does not mean that the patient Lin Yuan can be physically strong. He is still sick compared to ordinary people, so the operation of the system is in line with the medical concept.

This is actually quite annoying.

Lin Yuan considers whether to exercise.

But even if he exercises his body, he needs to be scientifically and moderately. After all, his foundation is too bad. Don't train yourself by accident.

"Ding Dong!"

The system seemed to feel Lin Yuans troubles, and unexpectedly threw a task: It senses the hosts desire for health and triggers a special task. If the host completes the special task, the system will ensure that the host lives to thirty years old without Disease free and healthy."

[Task name: Body is the capital of revolution]

[Task content: the two major categories of literature and music each broke millions of prestige]

[Task Reward: The host can live to be 30 years old without any disease and disaster]

[Task Remarks: The so-called standard of physical health means that the host has a body carefully conditioned by the system, and the quality is far superior to ordinary people. In addition, this task will continue until the host is twenty-seven years old and expires]

It seems that this mission lasts a long time.

As for the reason for the failure before the age of 27, it is because 27 is the current life limit of Lin Yuan. If he has not completed the task at the age of 27, Lin Yuan can basically die ~ . "

Lin Yuan has always been willing to come to the task.

Anyway, even if the mission fails, there is no penalty.

Its just that Lin Yuan didnt expect to have this kind of special mission. He was healthy, disease-free and disaster-free and lived to 30 years old. If he completed the mission, Lin Yuan would have bought himself a system-level insurance.

sounds good.

But then again.

It is not easy for the reputation of literature and music to break one million each. From the rising speed of Lin Yuan's music reputation, it can be categorized as follows: "I have worked **** the task, you must defeat the disease."

System: ""

System: "As long as the host can complete a series of tasks released by the system, the system will defeat the host's illness. For the system, the host is the owner of the system! The host's death system will also self-destruct."

Faithful.

Lin Yuan nodded and fell asleep.

When several roommates in the dormitory saw Lin Yuan start to sleep, they consciously turned off the lights, and the callers went to the corridor outside the door silently. The ones playing the computer silently put on their headphones to prevent Lin Yuan from being disturbed by these sounds. .

Lin Yuan goes to bed before nine o'clock every day.

Other dormitories may be very hilarious at nine o'clock, but in the dormitory where Lin Yuan is located, almost no one will make a sound after nine o'clock, because the roommates also know that Lin Yuan's health is not very good, so they have been very accommodating to Lin Yuan.

"It looks like I can live there."

The roommates are very accommodating to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan cannot take it for granted.

He is not a person who is weak and reasonable.

Now that he has money, he can consider going out to rent a house.

is also so that roommates can cheer up in the dormitory at midnight like ordinary college students.
