The gold medal in a good Chinese literature essay competition did not cause much sensation on the Yan University campus. Only literature enthusiasts who are paying attention to this aspect know that this is the case.

People are forgetful. The previous vigorous provocation incident on Tang Wanli on Weiming BBS has long been thrown out of the sky. After all, everyone has their own affairs.

After pursuing a thought, Zhang Chu finally had time to take his heart back.

After a month of familiarity, he finally became familiar with the names of the classmates in his class. He could smile and say hello when he met, so he would not even know the names.

People who have been to college probably know that in some colleges, people in a class do not attend classes all day long, especially in their freshman year.

Almost all majors in the entire school are mixed together, just like Zhang Chu’s university English courses, with a variety of majors, and it is rare for those who can meet this college to see!

This is probably Zhang Chu's best course. He has connected the thinking of high school English teachers and has also received systematic basic English proficiency skills. The content of the class now has no problem with him.

So as this guy listened, his right hand became a little out of control, and his left ear was heard and his right ear was out, and his attention was all focused on his pen.

An ordinary black water-based pen is slowly outlining the textbook. After various lines are gradually formed, a black tiger's head slowly emerges!

However, Zhang Chu did not understand the tiger's face. The upper canine teeth were short and the lower canine teeth were wide, which made his chin look a bit dislocated.

He himself was quite satisfied with this work. After all, he was just a casual graffiti, and he didn't expect the skills to be so effective.

You should know that Zhang Chu could not even draw a smiley expression before, but now with the blessing of the system, he can draw a relatively complex tiger avatar!

"This tiger looks very domineering, but I didn't expect you to have such skills."

A boy at the same table praised him, "There are no friends who are most familiar to you in class, and they just sit down by their feelings."

Zhang Chu was in a very good mood, and he whispered: "Thank you for your praise, I think it's pretty good too."

Despite all kinds of flaws, Zhang Chu himself was satisfied.

During class, the two cannot have too much conversation, as it is enough to joke each other on business.

...

As a student, the happiest moment should be when you hear the ringing of the end of get out of class. Whether you are distracted, playing with your phone, sleeping, or listening carefully, you will cheer up.

Zhang Chu quickly closed the English textbook, stuffed it into his shoulder bag, took his cell phone and walked out of the classroom.

While walking, he turned on his phone to check the relevant news. Before class, he received a WeChat message from Zhou Kang that there were several publishing institutions in contact. Now he wanted to know which works it was for.

After the award ceremony last night, Nanhai Publishing Company was the first to announce that it would launch the simplified Chinese version of "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" in November.

Under such circumstances, there were publishing institutions that contacted Menglong Culture Media, which really surprised Zhang Chu. Do these publishing institutions want to help them pay high liquidated damages?

Zhou Kang quickly answered the phone, but he did not keep it in hiding, but quickly shared the joy.

"Uncle Zhou, what do you say today about those publishing institutions? Are they really here to poach?" Zhang Chu's question was quite straightforward. He didn't know what tactfulness was.

"No, they basically know that "Young Pi" will definitely be held tightly by the Nanhai Publishing Company. This is a money tree. Many of them come for the rest of the copyrights, such as the traditional Chinese copyrights of several books in the Bay area, and package them together."

Zhang Chu's works have always been popular in mainland China in simplified Chinese under the agency of Nanhai Publishing Company, but there are still many traditional Chinese readers in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Although some people can use the online simplified and traditional Chinese conversion function to read on the Internet, it is still a bit inconvenient, so some publishing institutions in the Bay took a fancy to the business opportunities.

Zhang Chu smiled and replied, "This is a good thing. Anyway, the copyright is still idle. It's better to hand it over to the publishing agencies in Wanwan or Xiangjiang to help me expand my influence."

"We also think so, but they want to use the buyout method to buy 1 million yuan in traditional Chinese copyrights for four works: "Detective Sherlock", "Psychological Crime", "Journey to the West Diary" and "Youth Pi" for 1 million yuan."

"Is this sending beggars?"

Originally, Zhang Chu was still looking forward to it, but now he was directly scared by this price. With these four works, his total assets exceeded 10 million, but now the other party only gave him one million, which was cheaper than the rotten cabbage in the vegetable market!

Zhou Kang said helplessly: "The current traditional Chinese publishing market is not ideal. It mainly focuses on online fantasy and fairy tale novels. There are fewer people buying books, but more people renting books and borrowing books. In recent years, there have been no works that have sold over one million during the Chinese New Year."

People who read books in the bay are different from online readers. The mainstream readers there are uncles in their thirties and forties, while the mainland is mainly young people in their twenties.

Renting books is actually an important feature of the Bay Area book market. At its peak, there were more than 7,000 bookstores on the entire island. If each bookstore bought one or two books, the sales of the book would not be too bad.

"No matter what, I think buying out is a bit of a loss." Zhang Chu is not ignorant of traditional Chinese publishing. At least on the original earth, most of the traditional Chinese publishing market in the Bay are mainland online literature works.

The most strange thing is that the royalties for writers on the island in Wanwan are usually about 10%, while the royalties for mainland writers are as high as 20%. This strange royalty system is very popular among mainland online writers.

Originally, online literature was difficult to publish, and traditional Chinese was easier to publish than simplified Chinese. For online authors who wanted to print their works into physical books, Bay Publishing House was excellent attraction.

However, the overall economic decline in the Bay Area and even Southeast Asia has greatly reduced their book sales. More people choose to read cheap works on the Internet, no longer go to bookstores to buy novel books, or rent bookstores!

Xian.com, which ranked first in the first place more than ten years ago, had a set of physical books sold more than 20,000 copies per month, Xian.com would order the author to end the plot as soon as possible on the grounds that sales were too low and profits were too low.

Today, the monthly sales volume of the top three writers in the traditional Chinese market is about 20,000 copies. If they can sell 200,000 to 300,000 copies in a year, they can win the sales championship.

How can it be like the mainland? Like Zhang Chu's book "Journey to the West" can sell 300,000 copies in a week!

The number of readers on both sides is too big!

"That's just the price given by saying it frequently. Xian.com, Xinchang, Xianchuang, Adventure, and Hetu all agree to the royalty system, and the royalty rate is 20%.

"Since the royalties are almost the same, then choose a publishing house with deep strength and better reputation."

Anyway, Zhang Chu didn’t expect traditional Chinese to sell simplified Chinese, just to make some extra money and make some money in silence!

The royalty ratio is so high that even if the sales are low, it is quite profitable. After all, Zhang Chu can only get 11% of the royalty at Nanhai Publishing Company, of which 1% is because of the gambling terms after "Young Pi" won the award!

What's more, they are not only selling on Bay Island, but also selling in Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia and other places. I believe the final sales should not be too miserable.

************************

Let me say a little bit, the traditional Chinese book market is really started by us. The gods of the spot are dominated by tomatoes, potatoes, five songs, white cranes in the sky, tall buildings, Xiao Qian and others on the flower butterfly list.

There are also this group of people on the Frog Bookstore. The local writers in Wanwan were defeated and defeated. My big network literature is powerful!
