Li Qingyuan also got the latest issue of the novel weekly in the morning.

When he flipped into the newcomer's novel, he looked at the layout of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and nodded with satisfaction. This was the layout he made himself.

"Xiao Liu, pay attention to the recent comments about The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and also calls from customers."

Li Qingyuan picked up the phone and called his assistant, asking him to contact the Propaganda Department and the Customer Department.

He had great expectations for this novel. This is the most exciting martial arts novel manuscript he has ever read since he took office as editor-in-chief of martial arts.

He felt that this The Legend of the Condor Heroes was no weaker than those top three martial arts novels.

Picking up the latest issue of the most popular magazine, Li Qingyuan skipped the previous single-day movie box office list, TV series ratings list, variety show ratings list, etc., and turned to the following list about novels.

The Novel Weekly Sales List is the list of all Novel Weekly Sales List in the country.

The number one ranks first is Wu Weekly, which is as stable as an old dog. Last week's sales reached a terrifying 23 million copies!

Li Qingyuan shook his head and whispered: "The status of Wu Zhou magazine is still very stable. There are two authors of novels and two authors of comics, and no one can shake it."

The second-ranked Iron Blood Novel Weekly, with sales reaching 17 million last week!

The third place is Jianghu Novel Weekly, with sales of more than 13 million!

The fourth-ranked Zhongzhou Novel Weekly has a sales volume of 6 million.

The fifth place Dongyue Novel Weekly is 4 million.

The sixth place Shenqi Novel Weekly sales volume is 2.4 million.

The seventh place is the sales of South Australia Novel Weekly.

The eighth place is Beiyang Novel Weekly sales of 700,000.

The ninth place Taiping Novel Weekly sales volume is 600,000.

Global Novel Weekly is still the last one. With the sales of the top sales magazines showing signs of rising sales, Global Novel Weekly's sales actually dropped, with only 300,000 yuan.

Li Qingyuan had no choice but to say: "No wonder the president got angry when he was in the morning."

He also read the ranking of martial arts serial novels.

There is a voting page on the official website of the most popular list. All readers who have bought novel weekly magazines will see a voting verification code in the magazine, which can vote once and vote for their most supportive novels. It will be done once a week. If you want to vote more, buy more magazines.

Then, the most popular magazine will publish the list and publish the magazine. This is the list that industry insiders pay the most attention to and is the most direct popularity numerical performance.

Li Qingyuan glanced directly and didn't read it carefully. None of the novels of Global Magazine were on the list. The first one was the martial arts novel Sun and Moon Swordsman serialized by Wu Weekly. The number of voters was as high as three million, leading the second place in Jianghu Novel Weekly's novel Dragon and Tiger Fighting for more than one million votes.

Not every reader who bought a magazine will vote. The number of readers who vote is a small number, and they will not vote for a novel.

The most important thing is that if you don’t buy a magazine from Wu Zhou, you can only submit it to the novels serialized in Wu Zhou.

The verification code of each magazine can be submitted to any serialized novel, not just martial arts, but other types of things. It is possible that the number of votes received by a novel in a small magazine far exceeds the sales data of its serialized magazines, but this is only a theoretical possibility. This situation has not happened yet.

Therefore, readers' votes will be dispersed and not concentrated.

Not all readers like to watch martial arts. Martial arts only occupy half of the world, and other novels such as science fiction and romance have a huge readership.

Therefore, the martial arts novel Sun and Moon Swordsman, which has more than three million votes, has already had a high vote count, and this novel has dominated the ranking first on the list for more than 40 consecutive weeks, but such data has not yet broken the record.

Because, a few years ago, a national martial arts novel, Shenzhou Qixia, set a record that dominated the list for two consecutive years and took the lead in one hundred weeks!

Li Qingyuan saw that the novel "Emotional Swordsman" promoted by Global Novel Weekly ranked outside the top 100, with only a few thousand votes. He couldn't help but shake his head and whisper: "Emotional Swordsman has been serialized for two years, and his grades have been declining. It's time for Lao Feng to end it."

Lao Feng is the main author of Global Novel Weekly. He can be said to be a pillar of the body, but his grades have always been very ordinary. The pillar of the small magazine is worse than the ordinary contracted authors of those large magazines.

When we first discovered Lao Feng, Global Magazine wanted to push Lao Feng to the level of a great god, so we used the distribution channels of Global Group to publish the magazine. As a result, after more than a month of publication, the sales did not improve much, so we gave up.

Moreover, Li Qingyuan could see that Lao Feng's passionate swordsman was relying on his old job and was following the path of the previous novel. No wonder readers didn't buy it anymore.

Recently, he often heard that readers have reported that passionate swordsmen have become serious and not good at reading, so they ask to change their main novels.

Li Qingyuan looked at the page of the serialized The Legend of the Condor Heroes again, waiting for the next week's data.

…………

Wang Zhe was urged by Xintian Records twice, and that day he came to Xintian Records.

The agent Liu Li accompanied him into the company.

"Wang Zhe, have you figured it out clearly? Do you really have to pay for the album yourself?"

Liu Li asked again, "The boss just wants to earn a production fee from you. Your first album is very bad. It is difficult to improve if you release the second album rashly. Moreover, even if you produce the album, how to release it? If you want to find Xintian to release it, you need more funds. If you fail in the end, your losses will be huge, but Xintian will make sure to make a profit."

Liu Li was still persuading him at this time.

Wang Zhe felt a little moved and smiled and said, "Sister Liu, thank you for your reminder, but I am very persistent. I must do what I want to do successfully."

Liu Li shook her head and stopped persuading her. She had done a good job.

The two came to an office.

There were two middle-aged men sitting inside, one was Yang Anwen, deputy general manager of Shinta, and the other was Lawyer Hu from Shinta's Legal Affairs Department.

Old God Yang Anwen sat in the middle of the ground, glanced at Wang Zhe, then nodded to Lawyer Hu, and said, "Old Hu, give him the contract."

Lawyer Hu handed a contract to Wang Zhe and said, "Mr. Wang Zhe, this is the contract you entrust our Xintian Records Company to produce the album."

Yang Anwen said directly to Wang Zhe: "I signed the contract and bring 800,000 yuan in one month. The company's recording studio can be used for you during the off-get off work time. Xinpeng Band will also lend it to you for a period of time, and the term is two months."

Wang Zhe ignored Yang Anwen and looked through the contract. He had been in the entertainment industry for so many years in his previous life, and had seen many newcomers who were cheated by contracts, and even some famous stars had been cheated.

So, he will look at the contract carefully.

Soon, Wang Zhe pointed to the contract regarding copyright ownership treaty and said, "Copyright belongs to Xintian? I paid for the production and you worked on it. Why is the copyright of the album or the company?"

Yang Anwen smiled and said nothing, and glanced at Lawyer Hu.

This is a trap they deliberately set up to deal with newcomers with no background. If they were rich second generations or the like, they would not be like this, fearing that they would cause trouble afterwards and ruin their credibility.

But Wang Zhe is just an ordinary newcomer, so he can naturally be a trick.

However, it’s nothing to see through the scene. A mistake can explain everything, just change it.

A newcomer loses his mind and pays for a new album by himself. The chance of losing is as high as 100%, so copyright and income ownership are actually of no use.

Lawyer Hu then said, "Mr. Wang, I'm making a mistake. I'll give you that new contract."

After saying that, Lawyer Hu turned around and went out to get a new contract. This contract clearly stipulates the copyright and the ownership of all profits. It belongs to the producer, and Xintian Company is just OEM.

Wang Zhe looked at other regulations again. He didn't care about the time to use the recording studio, and he was more convenient for him to operate when there were fewer people at get off work.

However, regarding the production time, Wang Zhe asked for no limit on time, so Yang Anwen was naturally unwilling to ask Wang Zhe to use money to produce the album within one month, otherwise it would be a breach of contract, and the breach of contract would have to be compensated for the liquidated damages, a total of 2.4 million yuan, which is three times the production fee of 800,000 yuan.

Finally, Wang Zhe threatened to give up, and Yang Anwen agreed to use the term of half a year. Even if Wang Zhe breached the contract for more than half a year, the compensation would be three times that of 800,000.

Moreover, if this album is completed, Wang Zhe and Xintian’s newcomer contract will automatically end.

In a sense, it is equivalent to Wang Zhe buying out his contract for 800,000 yuan.

Brush!

Wang Zhe signed his name.

Yang Anwen also signed the name on behalf of Xintian Company.

Lawyer Hu signed his name as a lawyer.

The contract officially takes effect.

Yang Anwen took the part belonging to the company and looked at Wang Zhe and said, "Haha, Wang Zhe, are you still too young and think it's so easy to make an album?"

After saying that, Yang Anwen glanced at Wang Zhe pitifully, then turned around and went out. He would not waste too much time on Wang Zhe. Eight hundred thousand gains would be compensated for part of the loss of Wang Zhe's failure in his first album.

Lawyer Hu also left quickly, leaving only Wang Zhe and Liu Li.

Liu Li sighed and said, "Wang Zhe, what are you going to do now?"

Wang Zhe didn't care about Yang Anwen's attitude, and said to Liu Li: "It's very simple, Sister Liu, raise money and then make an album. I'll ask Sister Liu to help me take care of you."

When the album is produced, it will be convenient if there are people from the company to help you. Otherwise, what if the recording studio people deliberately make things difficult for you and don’t use it for you?

Therefore, Wang Zhe needs Liu Li to help.

Liu Li is a conscientious agent and feels that she is indebted to Wang Zhe, so she agrees: "Okay, come to me if you have any difficulties."

The two's brokerage contract almost ended.

Wang Zhe stood up and shook hands with Liu Li, then said goodbye and left.

Many singers from Xintian heard about Wang Zhe and came to watch the show.

A pair of people watched Wang Zhe leave with joking and disdainful eyes.

Liu Li personally sent Wang Zhe to the company's door. When he returned to the company, a beautiful young woman came to Liu Li and said with a smile: "Sister Liu, that handsome guy is Wang Zhe? Do he really have to pay for the album by himself?"

This young woman is a newcomer promoted by Xintian Company this year, named Xu Liying. Her first album was released at the same time as Wang Zhe, but now the sales volume has exceeded 200,000. She is considered an excellent newcomer in a small company. The production of the second album has been put on the agenda. Now it is the star of tomorrow that Xintian Company values.

Everyone in the company has great expectations for Xu Liying's second album, hoping that a second-tier singer will appear again and add a pillar, so that the company's revenue capabilities will be greatly enhanced!

Therefore, Xu Liying almost regarded herself as the number one sister in the company and was fully preparing her second album.

Liu Li has a good attitude towards anyone and smiled at Xu Liying and said, "Well, he is too persistent in his dreams."

"That's a loss of mind. When he fails, he will understand that he is not a good deal. He and I debuted at the same time. My album sales are forty times that of him. If the next album is released at the same time, the difference may be hundreds of times."

Xu Liying said with a confident smile.

Liu Li fell silent, but just smiled and didn't say anything, and went in and continued to be busy.

Xu Liying went to find a producer to see if there were any of the newly collected songs that she was satisfied with. The success of the first album made her qualified to choose the songs she liked by herself and to discuss with the producer.
