Chen Yuan heard the voice, went out and saw Shen Huai and Liu Chuan standing at the door, seeking to ask: "Editor Liu, you are here, what can I do? Why don't you come in and sit?" Liu Chuan
just thought When speaking, Shen Huai suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, come in and sit down. I forgot to entertain customers. It's mine."
"..." It was
not Shen Huai just now . This attitude, seeing Chen Yuan coming, changed so quickly.
Liu Chuan felt a chill in his neck, and he was blowing cold wind all over. Looking back at Shen Huai's accidental gaze, it was very dangerous. It was probably because he was too excited just now and was immersed in his own imagination.
When he arrived in the living room, Liu Chuan didn't dare to look too presumptuous, because he had recovered from his excitement and said his intention in the eyes of the two of them.
"Teacher Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you at such an early time, but this matter is really important to our publishing house, and I hope you can agree to it."
Chen Yuan asked: "Then you need to tell me what it is. That's fine."
Liu Chuan became very serious when talking about work: "That's it. In my previous English books, I saw a lot of teacher Chen's hand-painted animation patterns. I thought the style of painting was very delicate, and then I wondered if I could Separate a comic book that children like to read, and this type of comic book can be produced in a set of 20, three series is 60, better can be sold for two or three yuan, if children like this style and story The content will be a complete set of comics. The income and profits brought by 60 books are absolutely huge."
In order to persuade Chen Yuan to agree, he even took out the hot-selling comics printed by other publishers on the market now, and Compared with the greedy snakes painted by Chen Yuan, whether it is the style or composition, they are all in the sky and the underground.
The greedy snake painted by Chen Yuan is an obstacle set in the game of snake chess. A little snake's facial features are very smart, cute and vivid, and she has painted several versions of this little snake, all of which are very delicate. What the child likes can't put it down.
On the other hand, the comic book Liu Chuan brought, there are also small animals in it. Although it has been simply painted, it looks very rigid without any flexibility. If it is not compared, it can at least be seen, but it is similar to Chen Yuan's paintings. Compared with wind, that is what is crushed.
To say that Liu Chuan did not think the style of this hot-selling comics was so ugly, because almost all the comics sold on the street are of this kind, all comics are of the same level, anyway, the main audience is children, and the aesthetics of adults is not. Okay, where can children's aesthetics go? Therefore, it seems that the painting can be sold in any way. The threshold for this line is very low. Many stalls, video stores, and small merchandise stores can be sold in front of the school. Customers do not have to go to bookstores to buy them.
Liu Chuan thinks that the painting styles on the market can be sold as hot as it is. Chen Yuan's high-end painting style is definitely more profitable. If she personally publishes a comic book, all other comics are not enough to read.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan expectantly.
When Shen Huai heard that she was looking for Chen Yuan to collaborate on a comic strip, she felt that she was not as uncomfortable as before, and she still felt that the other party was a bit too reckless, but Liu Chuan looked much better for the sake of making money in this matter.
At the same time, she sighed that Chen Yuan's talent is too dazzling, so good that nothing can conceal her light, and the next second may bring you even greater surprises, making you completely ignorant of her upper limit.
Therefore, Chen Yuan is a huge treasure. The deeper she understands, the more she feels that she is unfathomable. With her excellent qualities, it is impossible for anyone around her to achieve such perfection, but she feels so friendly. So easy to approach, as if she was born to be a part of you.
The more Shen Huai found out that Chen Yuan was in good shape, the more thankful he was that this was his own wife. He should be very blessed to have such an excellent wife.
Chen Yuan hesitated for a while. After careful consideration of what Liu Chuan said, she quickly understood what this comic strip was, and later fairy tale books, comic books, and picture readings, all of which could find more excellent reference materials. However, comic strips may be based on national characteristics.
"I can think about it, but I want to divide it into 35%. If you can agree, it won't be too late for us to continue talking."
Chen Yuan is not short of money now, but who does not think that there are too many things like money? Therefore, it is necessary to do things with high investment and high return, so I feel that the previous ratio is still a bit low, and the effort spent on comics is of course not less than that of writing English books.
When Liu Chuan heard that this ratio was indeed too high, he had never heard of such a ratio before. It can be said that Chen Yuan said that this price was the only one in the city. If he changed to another author, he might have gotten up and left early. I
stopped talking with the other party, but Chen Yuan was different. The last time she cooperated was an opportunity for the publisher to turn over. Now she has finally started to make a profit. Of course, Liu Chuan is also a life-saving straw. I don't want to let it go, because if the partnership with Chen Yuan is broken, the publishing house estimates that it will return to the prototype again, and there is no hope of resurrection.
Liu Chuan doesn't want the future of the publishing house to be ruined in his own hands, as long as there is a glimmer of life, he will not miss it.
He considered for a while before he agreed: "Yes, no problem."
Because Teacher Chen is not an ordinary author, she has great potential, so it is worth such a high manuscript fee, and that is to let the publisher earn a little less. It's better than having no hope of losing money.
If a publishing house employee saw such a scene in front of him, he would definitely think that Editor Liu was crazy and would agree to such a high standard.
But you can't just look at everything, as long as you can make a profit, you can of course agree to it.
Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, then we can continue to talk about it. The comic strip you said is okay. It's best to add some educational significance, and since you want to make money, then make it more thoroughly and completely transform it into a business. The comic strip, the first edition is sold directly for 108 copies, which has a continuous storyline hidden in it, attracting readers to buy. You can find a designated bookstore to redeem the collector's edition figure, and collector's edition postcards, as well as various exquisite packaging gift boxes. At the same time, we can also launch the popular civilian version, which is low-cost and cheap, and there is also the hardcover high-end version, and the ultimate collection version. the whole plot, you can only buy a better version, although the price is a little expensive, but when the world is no shortage of rich, attractive enough as long as the story is not afraid to spend money they do not, some people will buy it. "
Liu Chuan After listening to Chen Yuan's bold and shocking remarks, her mind paused for two seconds, because some famous words were so surprising that they had never even heard of it.
For example, is a hand-made thing? ? What is it around? ? The collector's edition is easy to understand and exquisite, and it is a very appropriate term to describe it when you buy it home and collect it.
The collector's edition and the hardcover edition are also very nouns for him, and it is not difficult to understand. It is just the hidden foreshadowing method of stimulating consumption, which surprised him too much.
After all the questions are clear, the figure is the model toy in the comic strip. If a character has super popularity, such as the character in the current hot cartoon, there are many toys of the same model appearing in the world, which are especially sought after by children.
Peripherals are related products of the work. Figures and postcards are also a kind of peripherals, but the peripherals can be made of anything, and even patterns can be printed on school bags, shoes, stationery boxes, and clothes. In short, the introduction of peripherals is to stimulate consumption. In a way, some consumers may want to buy books because of their surroundings. It may be a normal thing for one person to buy more than one hundred books.
Although it feels a bit weird, it's far more amazing than he thought, and he even wonders if anyone can really buy so many books at once? You can't drink it, and even if the child wants it, it won't sell so much. Two books per person will be the best.
Liu Chuan asked her own question, and Chen Yuan answered his question, "If you want to make money, you still have to start with the content of the book. Most of the audience is children. There are elementary, middle and high school students, and the consumer group of children is more than that of adults. People spend more loyally. The pocket money that we save to buy snacks should also be used to buy comics. What we have to do is to attract them to buy back after reading a book. Although our comics can't be eaten or drunk, It can be used as food for their spirit, and satisfying people's spiritual world is our goal."
After Liu Chuan listened, he felt as if he had never seen Chen Yuan clearly. Sometimes Chen Yuan was more successful than herself. The businessman in China, she said too thoroughly, she was even more detailed than imagined, she also understood human nature too much, and was much better than herself, so she couldn't admire it.
If he had his own ideas, he would definitely not even dare to think about it, let alone put forward this method.
However, Chen Yuan's idea is too advanced. I have to admit that this kind of idea is indeed reasonable, but it is very risky, but if it is really successful, the profit it brings is absolutely huge.
Now it's up to him whether he dares to do it, but I have to say that Liu Chuan would definitely not dare to do it if it was replaced two months ago, because at that time the publishing house suffered a serious loss, even if it wanted to innovate, it would not be possible to surpass such a big one. Some confidence has been restored, and the normal operation of the publishing house can be guaranteed.
Liu Chuan is also a person who is unwilling to be ordinary. He feels that he can accept new things. Moreover, he has survived such a difficult situation before. It doesn't make sense that the situation is much better now, and he will look forward and backward.
So he agreed with Chen Yuan's approach: "Teacher Chen, you are really the most powerful person I have ever met. If your work is not popular, it is really intolerable."
This is the highest evaluation given by Liu Chuan. He has never described anyone in this way. He has dealt with other authors and colleagues for many years. No one gives him this feeling. The key is that Chen Yuan is not only good in his work, right Whether he has a grasp of human nature, he learned later that Chen Yuan's English book had been submitted to many publishing houses, and only her own publishing house had signed a contract with her. In this process, he made a desperate effort and faced everyone around him. I was not optimistic about the pressure, and I always believed in Chen Yuan's work, and it was only afterwards that it sold successfully.
Although it seems that he published for Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan's works can be sold well, and the two parties are mutually consummate, but if they were replaced by other publishers and signed Chen Yuan's works at that time, the gold would shine sooner or later, and it would be a matter of time to sell. As my own publishing house, I have not met such a good author. Maybe the publishing house will continue to lose money without any improvement.
So I have to say that it was Chen Yuan who helped the publishing house, not the publishing house who helped Chen Yuan. Liu Chuan couldn't understand this more clearly.
Hearing Liu Chuan's admiration voice, Shen Huai was happier than Chen Yuan. Although Liu Chuan didn't wince, he had a good vision. He could see that Chen Yuan was a huge treasure. The term Chen Yuan said he was at the beginning. I don't understand it very well, but it does not hinder him. He thinks this thing is very promising. If it is operated properly, the benefits will be immeasurable.
In particular, I heard Liu Chuan's last sentence of praising Chen Yuan. It is too unreasonable. He really has the same idea in his heart. Chen Yuan will definitely become the best writer in the future.
When I think of the best writer in the future, who is now his wife, my heart surges and I can't be myself.
Chen Yuan glanced at Shen Huai strangely next to him. His happiness index instantly rose from 75 to 85. Shen Huai only increased his happiness index when he was particularly happy. Happiness and happiness are closely related. The happier a person is. The higher his happiness index, just like Shen Mingyuan made a lot of money last time, he also provided Chen Yuan with a lot of energy in his laughter.
But Shen Huai is particularly happy now, this is very worth pondering.
Chen Yuan thought for a while. It must have been the conversation just now, which made Shen Huai particularly happy. She signed a contract with a publishing house for comic strips. Is there such an unexpected gain?
In other words, Shen Huai is happy for her own affairs. As long as she gets better and better, and her social status gets higher and higher, then Shen Huai will be happy. Shen Huai thinks so that she hopes that she will have a bright future and a good life. This kind of unrelated idea is rare.
Blood relationship is also the most difficult relationship to give up. There are data to prove that the relationship between blood relationship and people without blood relationship seems to be more reliable. Although it is not absolutely the case, there is a certain truth in it.
Chen Yuan thought for a while that she and Shen Huai are not related. There is no good for no reason in this world. Shen Huai is very likely to regard her as a relative, because only when facing his relatives will he truly plan for each other. Sincerely treat each other well.
It seems that some people are cold at first, but they are really soft in their hearts.
