Chapter 20 God help me too(1/2)
"Hello, author, I am He Chan, editor of "Children's Fun". I'm very happy to add your Feixin..."
When Li Han saw the message sent by He Chan, he understood that He Chan wanted to make a good relationship first.
Otherwise, according to the regular process, the editor will usually directly ask you whether all copyrights of the work are in your hands or not, and then give you a quote.
Where would you have any family affairs with you?
Li Han was naturally happy.
The two of them chatted casually for a while before they talked about the main business.
Ask Li Han about the copyright of "Tortoise and Hare Race".
The copyright is naturally all in Li Han's hands.
Then there is the quote, and the other party directly gave a price of 800,000 words.
Li Han went to know it specifically and knew that the price of 800 thousand words was generally only given to senior famous authors.
New authors like him generally do not exceed 50,000 words.
The other party said that the price was applied to the editor-in-chief and she was not qualified to give the price.
The price is indeed sincere, and Li Han is not pretentious.
I agreed directly.
"The Race of Totors and Hare" is about 3,000 words, more than 2,000 yuan.
This money is not the money to buy all copyrights, but the other party only publishes the copyright of "Tortoise and Hare" in the magazine "Children's Fun".
The remaining copyrights are still in Li Han's hands.
Since that's the case, there is not much to worry about.
The other party was very happy to see Li Han so straightforward. After confirming the relevant signing matters.
Finally, I asked Li Han whether he needed to publish with a pseudonym? What kind of pseudonym should he use?
Li Han thought about it and found that there was no need to use any pseudonym, just use the real name.
There are many people who publish their works under their real name.
The other party was not surprised, and said, "Author Li Han, if you have any works in the future, you can contact me directly. I will definitely give you the best price."
Li Han had no objection and replied directly, "Okay, okay."
...
When He Chan saw Li Han's reply, she said "yeah" happily.
This is how a good mood comes from.
She believed that if the author named Li Han posted another work, even if he couldn't compare to "The Race of Toots and Hare", he would definitely not be much worse.
Hum? His name is Li Han.
It's a coincidence.
He Chan thought of the author of "The White Fox and the Scholar", also called Li Han.
It has been almost confirmed that "White Fox and the Scholar" is the work of Li Han alone.
Although Li Han has not stood up to speak up until now.
But the outside world is almost certain.
Li Han was originally a very ordinary name, and I don’t know how many people are called Li Han in the country.
However, now, one Li Han has appeared in the public vision, and the other Li Han is about to appear in the public vision.
Could it be that this year is the year of "Li Han"?
When He Chan thought about this, she laughed unconsciously.
She was about to get up and go to the editor-in-chief when she saw Li Han send another message.
"The Tortoise and Hare Race is actually just the beginning of the turtle and the rabbit race story. There can be many follow-up stories of the race, or new stories of the race. Your magazine may be able to hold an event based on this, and may have good results."
"What does this mean?"
He Chan frowned slightly and thought with all her strength.
Suddenly, she thought of it.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and hurriedly rang the editor-in-chief's office.
She wants to make "The Race of the Tortoise and the Hare" catch up with the next issue of the magazine.
"Children's Fun" is a weekly magazine and is published every Saturday.
Today is Monday, and there are still five days left before the next issue is released.
It should be urgent.
“All the signing matters have been completed?”
"Yes, the editor-in-chief, it's all done. The other party is very straightforward."
"Xiao Chan, it's done well. A good work is really a good work! We must release it as soon as possible. Well, it will be released next issue."
"Editor-in-chief, if I can, I hope to release the next issue."
"Next issue? No, Xiaochan, the next issue has been scheduled. Let's go to the next issue."
"Editor-in-Chief, this story is actually just the beginning..."
After hearing He Chan's words, the editor-in-chief Hao Jianfeng thought for a moment, and then became extremely happy. He laughed and said, "Okay! OK! Xiaochan! It's so good to do it well! This story is actually better than I thought before. It's simply a magical story. The author is Li Han, right? It's amazing. Xiaochan, you must have a good relationship with this author."
He Chan said: "Don't worry, editor-in-chief, I will definitely do it. The release matter..."
Hao Jianfeng said: "I will follow up and supervise the next issue for the release. This story is very important to us! And it is too timely."
After saying that, Hao Jianfeng still couldn't help but feel happy.
I even wanted to yell at the sky, "God helps me!"
"Children's Fun" is currently the most widely circulated children's magazine, and it is still very charming on the surface.
But in fact, it has slowly reached a bottleneck period.
Moreover, this bottleneck period has lasted for quite some time and has never been able to break through.
Magazine sales have not made any new breakthroughs for a long time, and are even slowly declining.
Readers have gradually gained some complaints about the magazine.
There are many reasons, but the main reason is the problem with the work.
The works published in magazines cannot be said to be not excellent.
After all, they are all works carefully selected by the editors, and they are all excellent works.
But it's just an excellent work.
Including the works of famous artists who have worked with magazines for a long time, they can only be said to be excellent.
This makes the main competitors of "Children's Fun" not necessarily worse than their works in terms of quality.
Their biggest advantage is gradually shrinking, and they have almost no advantages.
The final result is naturally that the circulation of competitors is gradually approaching.
It can be said to be eyeing!
As the editor-in-chief, Hao Jianfeng is under great pressure.
Even among the top leaders, the most stressful.
After all, the reasons for the work are the main reasons why the magazine is caught in a bottleneck.
Hao Jianfeng has been trying to find ways to break through the bottleneck.
But after thinking about it, there seems to be no other way besides improving the overall quality of the work.
But the quality of the works cannot be improved by his efforts.
Even those best and most experienced authors cannot create better works, so what else can they do?
But now, Hao Jianfeng has a feeling of high spirits when he suddenly rises.
He finally found a way to break through the magazine's bottleneck.
And, the possibility is very high.
"The Race of Tortoise and Hare"! It is his way to break through the bottleneck of the magazine.
At the beginning, he just thought this work was very excellent, even better than the works of those senior famous artists.
He was very happy.
But it's just very happy.
However, under He Chan's reminder, he found that this was no longer a very excellent work, but a magical work.
To be continued...
