Chapter Eight Blocked
This made Director Ma and Sister Han, who still had a lot to say just now, at a loss for what to say next. If they continued to use the method of royalties, it would be equivalent to slapping themselves in the face.
But if they use royalties to pay, they feel that they have suffered a lot, whether the sales are not ideal or the sales are good.
This is easy to understand. The unsatisfactory sales situation means that a batch of printed books cannot be sold in a short period of time, and these costs need to be borne by the publishing house.
Because the printing machine is printing, the number will not be only hundreds or thousands of copies, but at least tens of thousands of copies, or even hundreds of thousands of copies are possible, so that the cost can be further apportioned.
The sales are good, or even hit, which is equivalent to picking food out of the publishing house's bowl, which naturally damages the publishing house's interests.
On the contrary, the manuscript fee of 4,000 yuan is insignificant in their eyes, unless the sales situation is really bleak, the possibility of loss is generally relatively low.
They have also seen the quality of the books just now, and think that they still have great publication value. At least based on their years of experience, losses should not exist.
Seeing that the two were silent, Ye Zishu could only speak: "The fundamental principle of a market economy is to share benefits and risks.
The emergence of royalties has bound the interests of the author and the interests of the publishing house. Both are grasshoppers on a rope, and they belong to a situation where one prospers and one loses.
To be honest, it took me ten days to finish writing this book. It was a means of earning living expenses when I first came to the capital, and it didn't take me much energy.
In the future, I will write some other works based on my own energy and actual situation. If the distribution of benefits is in the interests of both parties, there are still many opportunities for cooperation.
Moreover, the current payment method in the publishing industry, with the advancement of marketization, will change from manuscript fees to royalties will be an unstoppable trend.
As a leading institution of higher learning in China, it should have the courage to dare to be the first in the world, and it can also accumulate some experience in the reform of the current publishing market. "
What he said actually set the stage for the two of them. As long as there are such rhetoric, at least there are reasonable reasons internally, and this is the most important thing.
In the state unit, any change in the system cannot be decided verbally by one person. A meeting must be held and passed at the meeting.
If a person decides rashly, if something goes wrong in the future, the responsibility will also be borne by this person. People who have worked for so many years have their own methods and experience in avoiding risks.
"To be honest, I personally don't have much opinion on the method of paying royalties, it's just that this matter is very involved, and I can't decide it alone.
How about this, you go back first, after we have a meeting to discuss, we will inform you of the results, do you think it will work? "
To be honest, such a result is not what he wants to see, and there is not much time left for him. If the money in his hand is used up and there is no income, it will be troublesome.
He had never been in an agency before, but he had also heard that it took a long time to go back and forth to pass a key resolution.
In addition to the payment of royalties, it is possible to pay his remuneration only after the books are sold and paid back, which also takes time.
"I have no problem here, but I just hope that Director Ma can move forward with this matter as soon as possible, and hope to have a clear reply in a short time." Ye Zishu said.
The publishing house can delay the time, but he can't afford it. If the road of royalties fails, manuscript fees are not impossible, at least it can solve his immediate predicament.
"Don't worry, Ye, we will discuss this matter as soon as possible. It happens that you will also have military training during this period, and we will give you a clear reply before the military training is over!" Director Ma stood up and said.
Although he is still not very satisfied with this statement,
But this already showed Director Ma's sincerity enough, most people would not make such a guarantee.
"That's fine, I'll just wait for Director Ma's good news." Ye Zishu said.
At this point, there is no need to continue, so I can only say goodbye and leave.
"Director Ma also has his own difficulties, so you don't have to take it to heart!" Han Pei accompanied Ye Zishu out, fearing that he would have a lump in his heart, so he said.
"Thank you Sister Han, I'm fine, this matter has caused you trouble." Ye Zishu said with a smile.
"It's best if you think about it this way. Any change needs a process. There is no rush." Han Pei continued.
"Well, I know!" Ye Zishu said.
Leaving the publishing house and walking in the green and lush campus, the smile on his face was replaced by sadness, hoping that there will be a result as soon as possible.
As for the matter of music publishing, after so many days, there was still no news from Zhou Lianpeng, and he didn't dare to press too much, after all, Zhou Lianpeng was helping for free.
Back in the dormitory, it was empty inside. Everyone was busy joining clubs, some had already joined the clubs they were interested in, and some were still hesitant.
He didn't plan to join any clubs, because his future plans were full, and he couldn't spare much time to participate in related activities.
Just taking advantage of the relatively quiet dormitory, he wrote all the songs for his first album in his life. Anyway, this matter will be done sooner or later.
Now that he has produced "You at the same table", he has already planned to name his first album "You at the same table", and the songs in it should try to focus on this theme.
He doesn't like that the songs in the album are patchwork. Except for this song which is plagiarized, he plans to create the rest of the songs by himself.
Sitting at the desk, put the pen and paper in front of my eyes, thought for a while, picked up the pen and solemnly wrote "First Encounter" on the paper as the first song of this album.
This song still revolves around the same table, but it is just about the psychological activities of the protagonist when he saw the same table for the first time, and the melody is still campus style.
It took less than half an hour to finish writing, and then performed the entire song and melody in my mind, and modified a few unsatisfactory places, and another half an hour passed.
Putting the completed song aside, he directly started writing the next song, titled "The Feeling of Heartbeat", which tells the state of the protagonist's growing affection for his deskmate.
It got out of control later, and directly wrote "Secret Love", "Smile", "Confession", "First Kiss", "Small Temperament", "Sorrow of Parting", "Missing No Gap", "Time Is the Best Medicine", "What's in the Album" Photo" was written.
Adding "You at the Same Table" as the last song, the whole album tells a fruitless campus love story, and writes out the joys and sorrows, longings and meaningful memories in it.
The whole album maintains a relatively uniform style, but each song has its own characteristic melody, which is very recognizable, which is very important and very conducive to the spread of the song.
