Chapter 156 Simplified Advertising Rights
Of course he would not tell anyone that the game was developed by him. Qi Huanchang is the legal representative of the game studio. He would claim to the public that Qi Huanchang knew the author of the novel "Xianyun". After communication and reach an agreement, the author of "Xianyun" fire authorized Qi Huanchang to develop the game "Xianyun".
Before graduating from college, he did not want to disclose his identity, so as not to cause too much unnecessary trouble. After answering this call, another editor called, this time it was Liu Chong from Hainan Elite Art Publishing House. He said he had arrived in Yangjiang and stayed in the youth hostel. He wanted to ask Jiangxiwen's address so that he could come to visit.
"It's hot, are you a guest or I'll go to your place." Jiangxi Wen did not allow the other party to refute and asked directly: "What room are you in?"
"207." Liu Chong hurriedly replied, and then said, "So embarrassed..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiangxi Wen interrupted, "Okay, Editor Liu, I'll be here!" Then he hung up the phone. The more polite he was to Liu Chong, the more he could gain a psychological advantage when discussing the publication matters, even if it was just a little bit.
If he only wants to publish simplified comics, he doesn't need to do this. He just needs to agree on royalties based on the price of novice comics.
However, Jiangxi Wen intends to advertise his game in the simplified comic version like the traditional novel version, which requires more verbal use. Therefore, he brought Qi Huanchang, the boss of Yujianju Studio, to room 207 of the Youth Hostel.
When Liu Chong heard the knock on the door, he immediately got up and opened the door. Qi Huanchang and Jiangxiwen were surprised and stunned. He said, "Hello, please come in quickly. The weather is very hot, please trouble you."
Qi Huanchang saw that Liu Chong was in his early thirties. As soon as he sat down, he joked: "Editor Liu, I am Jiangxi Wen, hello."
"What?" Liu Chong was stunned again, holding the black-framed sunglasses, and said, "I was a little confused when I saw you just now. I heard from my friend on Taidao that Xiwen is a young man and has a thin body, but neither of you are like him."
Jiangxi Wen smiled and said, "You hear Fatty Qi bang, I am Jiangxi Wen. It's a good boy, but I only entered the first year of high school after the summer vacation. Writing books is a hobby, and the teacher and principal of the school don't know. Please keep it a secret for me. I have to take the college entrance exam and take a lot of time to study, but I don't want to be disturbed by other things."
Jiangxiwen said a few words very appropriately and her tone was very mature. After hearing this, Liu Chong realized it and laughed and said, "You young man is really young, but you are very mature." Then he looked at Qi Huanchang and said, "This Qi..."
"My name is Qi Huanchang, it's okay to call him Fatty!" Qi Huanchang said happily. When he saw you stunned, he joked with you. When the phone call from Taidao, he didn't hear that Jiangxi Wen was a student. I am his teacher, but now he has quit his job and started a business."
"Qi Huanchang!" Liu Chong held his glasses and seemed to be quite good. He smiled and said, "Fatty Qi, you are helping Xiwen to discuss publishing matters. I'm afraid he won't be able to talk about it myself."
He no longer politely. He felt that calling him fat seemed more intimate.
"No. It's such a simple thing, he can do it alone. It's time to publish it, Xiwen gives you the manuscript, you give him money, and Inaba Qingnan also agrees. The purpose of my visit is to talk about the simplified version of the advertisement..."
Jiangxi Wen continued: "Well, Fatty Qi opened a game studio by himself. I wrote a script for the first computer game he developed, using the setting of "Xianyun", so I hope to advertise this game in the simplified comic version.
If the comics start from the first episode, each book uses different advertising slogans in the form of a series, then it will have a good effect. The answer will not be revealed until the game is launched, so that comic readers can guess."
After listening to Jiangxi Wen's words, Liu Chong nodded, looked at Jiangxi Wen through thick black-framed glasses, and then looked at Qi Huanchang and said, "This idea is good. But I am just the editor-in-chief of the editorial department. Logically speaking, Xiwen has nothing to do with this advertisement itself. Fatty Qi needs to represent his own studio and negotiate with the advertising department of our publishing house.
But since your game happens to be the content of "Xianyun", I can help you contact the advertising department and have certain discounts. When the game is released, you can also promote this comic for us. All of these can be recorded in the advertising contract."
Damn it, it's so slick. Qi Huanchang looked at Jiangxi Wen, turned his head and continued, "President Liu, please forgive me for asking about your identity through my friend in advance. Although the editor in Taiwan did not mention it, I still asked out of caution. I know that you are the president of Hainan Elite Art Publishing House. You have the right to directly decide whether to accept my advertisement, so there is no need to entrust it to the advertising department."
"Uh..." Liu Chong smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously: "You are quite smart, not bad, and have a business mind. Since that's the case, let's talk directly.
But today we can’t talk about advertising. I haven’t brought any advertising contracts or anything like that. They are still with our publishing house. The custom of our publishing house is that even if I come up with the advertising business, I need to bring the director of the advertising department. Why don’t we sign the contract for publishing comics today? He has signed the copy of Inaba’s young man and has been mailed from Japan."
Seeing that Liu Chong was so serious, Jiangxi Wen smiled slightly and said, "President Liu, I think you will not come to meet me until July. Maybe you want to see the sales of comics on Taiwan Island. You only signed a contract with Aoye Qingnan, because you wanted to stabilize us, for fear that we will be snatched away by other publishing houses.
I have read the contract on Taidao. As long as there is one man who doesn’t sign the contract, the contract cannot be fulfilled. I think if you see that Taidao’s sales performance is not good, you may immediately terminate the contract of Inaba Qingnan.” “When Liu Chong heard it, he hesitated and admitted: “Siwen, no wonder he could write such books at a young age. He is very smart and smart. You are right. As a leader of a society, you must consider carefully the comic books you want to publish, and make sure that every set of books will be sold well. This is the common sense of the publishing house’s operation.”
"President Liu, I didn't say that you were wrong in doing this. I mean that you are willing to meet me now and sign a contract with me to recognize the sales on Taiwan. I am optimistic about this set of comics where I cooperate with Inaba Light Man, so I also have a small request to promote the series of advertising for Fatty Qi's games for free."
"What?!" Liu Chong was so surprised that his glasses almost fell off.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't choose your publisher to publish. Also, if you do a series of advertisements and Qi Huanchang's game is released, you don't need to advertise this comic to drive the sales of the comic itself. This is your reward.
In addition, if your editorial department has a business in publishing novels, then the simplified version of "Xianyun" will be published by you in the future. I think you should know that many publishers on Taiwan want to publish the traditional version of "Xianyun". The copyright is all here with me, and I don't need the consent of "Yanwu Qingman." Jiangxi Wen has always maintained a relaxed and relaxed expression.
Liu Chong frowned and said, "No, who knows whether Qi Huanchang's game can be sold well? The domestic game market is just starting.
And the simplified novel version you mentioned is even more false. Although our publishing house publishes simplified novels, poetry collections, etc., the market for novels like you is aimed at teenagers. They love to read comics. Although your fantasy is very creative, it is only suitable for young people on Taiwan. It is difficult to publish novels in the simplified market."
Jiangxi Wen said calmly: "President Liu, you gave up the last two rewards voluntarily, so don't regret it when the time comes. Now, what I want to say is that if you don't advertise the game on my comics, then I will change to a publishing house. My condition is to publish it for you. In addition to your rewards, it is to advertise the game for Fatty Qi."
Liu Chong was stunned. He had never seen a new author who discussed issues with such a tough attitude, not to mention that this comic was a collaboration between two people, and Jiangxi Wen was just the one who wrote the story.
"President Liu, I can give you time to think slowly, but if there are other simplified Chinese publishing houses looking for me and they agree, I won't wait for you anymore." Jiangxi Wen smiled, "Why don't we go to Yangjiang River Fresh Restaurant for lunch. You have come here and you will also try the food here."
Liu Chong calmed down his emotions and said, "This comic was written by you and Inaba Qingnan. If you want to add advertisements, you should also discuss it with him. If you change to another publishing house and he has signed a contract with our publishing house, that's a big trouble..."
"President Liu, comics are works by me and Inaba Qingnan. Anyone who signs a contract can be terminated at any time. They must sign a contract together to publish it. This not only facilitates your publishing house, but also facilitates our authors. Otherwise, how could you think of signing one first and then deciding whether to sign with me after looking at the traditional Chinese sales."
