"I have read many anti-corruption novels in the officialdom, nor many literary cells. But I think the content in this novel is very attractive, especially the description of Zhao Dehan, which is really hated to the core!"

Liu Wei even forgot that his camera was aimed at this side, and now he spared no effort to praise him.

I guess his expression will be very interesting when he checks the replay later.

Zhang Chu said with a quick look: "Since you said that, I'll pass it on now, so that more people will see it."

"Uploaded to the Internet? Now that I have confirmed where to serialize it?" Liu Wei was surprised. There was this item in his shooting plan, but he didn't even get it!

"Uh, it doesn't seem to be."

After being reminded, Zhang Chu also woke up.

He just planned to post it directly to the Weibo post and serialized it, and many of his works were placed there before.

But that is equivalent to free, Xinlangwei.com did not give Hanlin Culture any penny or other benefits!

If Zhang Chu posted "In the Name of People" so simply, Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei would probably have to chop over with kitchen knives!

They were operating Zhang Chu's book early, which would create considerable results for the company.

A transaction of tens of millions of yuan cannot be so casual!

"You'd better call and ask, don't be so impulsive."

It was not until this time that Liu Wei realized that this was a passionate young man in front of him.

While picking up matcha on the floor, Zhang Chu called Zhou Kang and planned to ask him what was going on.

At this time, Hanlin Culture Media Company was carrying out the last busy work before the New Year. The boss’s new work was questioned online. As an employee, of course, you have to prepare a counterattack strategy properly!

Now there are too many projects under Zhang Chu’s name at the same time, with several movie productions alone, as well as TV series, cartoons, mobile games, peripheral products, etc.

"Uncle Zhou, I just wrote the first chapter of "In the Name of People". Do you choose which platform to serialize your works on?"

As the boss and author, Zhang Chu fully delegated power and almost gave all of this to Hanlin Cultural Media for operation, while he devoted himself to writing books.

That's why this happened. The first chapter of the novel was about to be published, but I didn't know where I was going to post it!

"I wrote the first chapter so soon? If possible, can I send the content of this chapter to my email? I am now with Mr. Chen from Origin, and he wants to read your book."

Competition on many platforms is the most sincere!

Even though I knew that Zhang Chu's book "In the Name of People" might only have 300,000 to 400,000 words, I was still willing to spend a lot of money to sign the contract.

Especially now, the stalls on the Original IPO need more heavyweight partners!

Now Zhang Chu has broken out of the framework of an ordinary writer and can negotiate equally with large companies like Origin.

This is not the first time Chen Le has come to Hanlin Cultural Media, but every time he comes, he finds new changes.

There is Zhang Chu published on the corridor, and the cover of each book and the corresponding adapted film and television posters, supporting the entire company alone!

Zhang Chu said in surprise: "You are in a meeting and negotiation? Wouldn't that disturb you from the meeting? I'll send you the content immediately and tell me if the result is released."

"Okay, I'll wait now."

It was really a coincidence that Zhang Chu hung up the phone and immediately sent the content of the first chapter to see if it would be of any help to commercial negotiations.

If "In the Name of People" is really serialized on Origin Novel, it is actually quite good!

Previously, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Su Shen Ji" were serialized at the origin. These two works attracted many clicks through serialization before they were released before they were released.

A win-win situation between writers and websites.

Although "The Legend of Wukong" was serialized on Weibo, during the serialization period, except for receiving money from readers' praise, Zhang Chu was so stingy that he didn't even pay the manuscript fee!

So every time during a meeting, Ye Shumei emphasized that such things must not happen again.

The promotion level of serialization at Origin Point is very high, and the royalties are considerable, often tens of millions of yuan.

Last year, Zhang Chu received nearly 40 million yuan in pre-tax royalties from Origin, relying entirely on more than one million words from "Soushen Ji" and hundreds of thousands of words from "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Dragon Ridge Mysterious Cave".

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make up the terrifying figure of more than 300 million yuan!

"Concentrate the works in one place, so that readers can look convenient. If you don't say that you have to register another account when you read this book, it will definitely be very troublesome."

Zhang Chu said to Liu Wei, just wait for Zhou Kang's reply now.

...

Within Hanlin Culture Media Company, Zhou Kang used his laptop to refresh the contents of his email.

A "ding" reminder.

He hurriedly opened the email from Zhang Chu and downloaded the attachment to the desktop.

At this time, I didn't care about looking at it myself, so I handed the laptop to Chen Le and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the real freshness. Otherwise, you can take a look at the content first and we will talk later?"

Before becoming the vice president of the group, Chen Le started as a writer and editor. Even now he has become a leader, he is reading books every day.

Reading books has become a part of life, and if you don’t read them, you will feel uncomfortable all over.

So he didn't care that this was at the business negotiation site. He happened to have the opportunity to read Zhang Chu's new book. It was also worth bidding after reading it!

The beginning of the novel is always a bit dramatic. Hou Liangping was trapped in the airport by a storm, and then began to describe it in two lines.

One is discussing the arrest of Ding Yizhen in Handong Province, and the other is recalling the strange character Zhao Dehan who he met when he handled the case.

At first, Chen Le thought that the two of them should have nothing to do with each other, but as they were written, the two lines actually gathered together!

It turns out that the reason why Zhao Dehan is ***** is because Ding Yizhen’s first bank card.

Ding Yizhen, a corruption man, never discovered it. It was not until Zhao Dehan was arrested that the two of them found their financial transactions, and then they surfaced.

Poverty in front of others is a public servant of the people, but behind them, they own a luxurious villa in Yanjing and more than 200 million yuan in cash!

Such corrupt officials seem to have two faces, and they look like people from a two-faced country.

The content of more than 7,000 words did not take Chen Le too much time, and he always reads books quickly.

Only after the mouse slid to the bottom did he think seriously.

Before he saw the content of the positive main theme novel "In the Name of People", he was worried that Zhang Chu would write too much of the main theme and that ordinary readers could not accept it at all.

But after reading the first chapter, Chen Le realized that this Zhang Chu was still the same Zhang Chu!

Readers are always put first and based on the reader's reading experience as the standard. This book is not as good as the music, nor is it full of political terms. On the contrary, it uses a simple style to write a surprising case.

The result he talked with Zhou Kang before was that no matter how many words the book was, it was packed and sold to Origin at RMB 10 million.

Anyway, it is just the right to serialize the Internet. Hanlin Culture can sell physical serialization, physical publication, and audio books to other companies.

It seems that 10 million is not enough to buy out the online serialization rights of "In the Name of People"!

Because the previous strategy was to position his new book as a victim of political tasks, defective products, and would not be too attractive to the general public.

Now after seeing the finished product of the first chapter, Chen Le suddenly realized that his and others’ speculations were not accurate!

Because the book is at least well written at the beginning, it makes people want to continue reading it later, and the plot is very attractive.

Chen Le was not worried that Zhang Chu would write this book in a crash or misunderstanding. Almost all of Zhang Chu’s past works had such problems. Instead, the more he wrote it, the more exciting he became!

The later stage is more exciting than the beginning.

"Mr. Chen, after reading this novel, do you think Zhang Chu is well written?" Zhou Kang asked. He actually didn't read "In the Name of People", but he had excellent confidence in Zhang Chu. Even if he didn't read it, he knew that he would definitely write it well!

"That's all there is to say! When did Zhang Chu write works of average quality?"

Chen Le sighed and said, "I'm actually a little worried that he can't portray the images of those officials well. But here, I think Zhao Dehan has a deep impression of this corrupt official. It seems that there are not many corrupt officials of this type. I didn't expect that Zhang Chu also knows so much about the officialdom."

Zhou Kang knew that Zhang Chu had done a lot of preparations and was not just going to prison for interviews, so it was normal to write excellent works.

He wanted to confirm the contract as soon as possible and then take a look at "In the Name of People".

"Since you have read the novel, you must know that the previous number would definitely not agree. Ten million is too small, so I can only briefly reveal that there are three platforms that give more numbers than this!"

Zhou Kang did not mean to deceive Chen Le, and the quotation from Origin was still at last year's level.

Last year's "Soushen Ji" was the price, but this year's "In the Name of People" is still the same.

But Zhang Chu's popularity and fan base have increased greatly!

Choosing a platform does not only depend on the amount of manuscript fees, but also on the scale of the platform.

If it was an unknown small website, and if it was spent 20 million yuan to let "In the Name of People" go there to serialize, Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei would not agree.

There are only a few people watching it when I go there!

Therefore, a good platform plus the right royalties will make them determined.

"After all, we are online novels, and this "In the Name of People" is too short. On some works that are updated faster in the public period, it may have been completed before it was released! It is impossible for us to make any money on this novel."

Chen Le started bargaining, "Now, Thousand Words and Three Thousand Words in the online literature circle are considered the most top-notch masters. If calculated based on the price of 10 million, then Zhang Chu will be more than 30,000 thousand words, which is ten times more than others!"

Zhou Kang was not so easy to cheat, shook his head and retorted: "The account cannot be calculated like this! Others have 3,000 words, but online novels have a lot of words. If he wrote 5 million words or 8 million words, the actual money would be quite good. Zhang Chu has more than 30,000 words, and it is useless to write 1 million words in his book, and the total price is relatively low. Mr. Chen, it is not the first time we have worked together, how about each of us bring some sincerity?"

"We have worked together twice, and it's not a vague one. How about buying the serialization rights of "In the Name of People" for RMB 15 million? Now we can talk about the content of the subsequent eight volumes of "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

Only then did Zhou Kang realize that the origin of the relationship was not about drinking!

Use "In the Name of People" as a stepping stone, and then intend to plan the complete collection of "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

It turns out that he is a cunning person!
