"Happy cooperation!"
In the meeting room, Zhang Yaocheng, the deputy general manager of Shan Hai Publishing House, and Lu Xi, the general manager of Lu Chen Studio, signed the publishing contract for The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer.
Zhang Yaocheng shook hands with Lu Xi and Lu Chen with a big smile on his face, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, we, Shan Hai Publishing House, will devote all our resources to the promotion of this novel, and make The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer a hit in the book market at the end of the year!"
There were five volumes of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer, with one million words. According to the publishing contract signed by both parties, the first print run would be 100,000 copies of the hardcover edition, and 200,000 copies of the paperback edition. The total first print run would reach 1.5 million copies!
For a novel written by a newcomer, and it was not a traditional best-selling novel, the first print run of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer was undoubtedly too large. If it did not sell well, Shan Hai Publishing House would suffer a great loss.
As the leader of this publishing cooperation, Zhang Yaocheng also bore a considerable risk. To some extent, he was betting on his career and reputation in the circle.
Of course, Zhang Yaocheng would not fight a battle he was not sure of. In addition to his confidence in the quality of the book, he knew the popularity of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer on the Internet, and the promotion of Shan Hai Publishing House, Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er studios. The real risk was not that big.
The two big names had more than 50 million fans on Waves Blog. Even with a discount, the sales of 300,000 copies was not a big deal.
The serious thing was that if The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer became a hit under Zhang Yaocheng's leadership and created a new best-selling novel genre, then his reputation and status in the circle would definitely be enhanced Big.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Thank you, General Manager Zhang."
"You're welcome …"
Zhang Yaocheng asked tentatively, "To be honest, I admire the author of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer very much. He must not be an ordinary person to be able to write such a wonderful novel. Can you invite him over for dinner?"
In this publishing contract, Lu Chen Studio signed the contract as the agent of the author, and the author himself did not appear. Zhang Yaocheng did not find any information about "Remembering Now and Ancient" on the Internet.
This made him very curious, and he wanted to take this opportunity to get to know him.
If The Smiling, Proud Wanderer really sells well, then it will be easy to talk about the follow-up works. Although Lu Chen Studio is the sole agent of the author, it also has to consider the author's preference, right?
Zhang Yaocheng didn't mean anything else. It was nothing more than the professional experience of a veteran.
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, and the latter said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. This author doesn't like to socialize, and he has transferred all the copyrights to our studio, so …"
"If there's a chance to get the author's consent in the future, then we can arrange it."
While explaining, Lu Xi quietly rolled her eyes at Lu Chen — it was all his mysterious tricks.
In fact, Lu Xi could also understand Lu Chen's scruples. He was already so good at writing songs and singing, and he was also a good screenwriter and actor. If he published a novel and became a real best-selling author, it would make people speechless.
Sometimes Lu Xi couldn't figure out how many things were hidden in her brother's head. She had never seen him have so many talents before, and they suddenly burst out.
It was not a bad thing to keep a low profile.
Zhang Yaocheng regretted, "That's a pity."
He didn't think that Lu Xi was deliberately perfunctory to prevent him from contacting the author, because with the strength and status of Lu Chen Studio now, there was no need to play this kind of trick.
Moreover, many talented writers did not like to socialize. Often, only by devoting themselves wholeheartedly to writing could they create truly outstanding and classic works.
After seeing Zhang Yaocheng and Lu Xi off, Lu Xi said to Lu Chen, "Xiaochu and others are waiting in the studio."
Lu Chen couldn't help patting his head: "They're here, too?"
Lu Xi said with a smile, "You are now a big shot in the circle, and people are watching your every move. So as soon as you came back, everyone came to your door. I think we need to give you another assistant."
Lu Chen couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "I'm going to the recording studio."
In the studio's recording studio, Lu Chen met the three beautiful girls of MSN again.
The MSN girl group under Flying Stone Records has now become one of the most popular girl groups in the domestic pop music world. Its debut album "Not Yet Lovers" has now won double platinum. The number of fans on Waves blog has exceeded 10 million. Announcements, commercial performances, and endorsements are all over the place.
Flying Stone Records did not forget the great contributor behind the popularity of MSN. They have always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Lu Chen Studio. They even outsourced part of the recording studio business to the studio, so that the latter's studio, which originally had no profit plan, actually made a lot of money.
Of course, there was no free lunch in the world. Good cooperation was due to common interests. Last month, Flying Stone Records sent an invitation to Lu Chen Studio for three works, which were still tailor-made for MSN.
In the publicity of Flying Stone Records and MSN's official blog, the contract amount was as high as 5 million yuan, which definitely created a new record in the industry and made many people in the circle dumbfounded.
But the problem is that at present, the price of LuChen's songs is 1 million per song. Not everyone can get works from him at this price, and only a partner like Flying Stone Records can get the moonlight first. (TN: The pavilion closest to the water is the pavilion closest to the water.)
"Brother Lu Chen!"
Seeing Lu Chen appear, Mu Xiaochu, who was chatting with Wang Hui and others in the monitoring room, quickly greeted him in surprise. Her pretty little face smiled like a flower, with joy from the bottom of her heart.
Speaking of which, the two hadn't seen each other for a while.
"Hello, Teacher Lu!" "Good morning, Teacher Lu!"
The other two members of MSN, Su Jiajia and Ning Tian, also respectfully got up and said hello.
The two of them addressed Lu Chen differently from Mu Xiaochu, because the latter had a better relationship with Lu Chen, and in the fan circle of both sides, fans had always treated Mu Xiaochu as Lu Chen's sister.
Among the three members of MSN, Mu Xiaochu had the most fans. Her personal fans on Waves blog were more than Su Jiajia and Ning Tian combined.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Hello."
The three beautiful girls surrounded Lu Chen like stars surrounding the moon. Mu Xiaochu asked curiously, "Brother Lu Chen, is the Mongolian steppe fun? I've seen the photos that Sister Fei 'er sent me. The scenery there is so beautiful! "
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's fun. I'll take you with me next time."
Mu Xiaochu smiled and said, "That's great. You can't go back on your word!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Do you want to pinky swear?"
Su Jiajia and Ning Tian looked at each other and saw envy in each other's eyes.
