"Since that's the case, then you can help you filter it. It's best to list their conditions and then write down the advantages and disadvantages of each publishing house. After summarizing it up, we will slowly find the most suitable one."

The relationship between writers and publishers is very complicated. They are a community of interests and are also a gamer of interests.

This is the result of mutual choice. Only when the writer is satisfied with the publisher and the publisher is satisfied with the writer's works will both parties sign a contract and turn the author's hard work into a book.

Of course, to a large extent, without the care and support of the publisher, the writer's writing experience will not be able to improve. From this point of view, the publisher has cultivated writers.

But the breakup and reunion between writers and publishers can be said to be quite common, and interest factors are the dominant reasons!

There are only a few situations in which the authors have too little or not timely royalties given by the publisher, and there are also concealment of the number of prints to reduce the royalties to the author.

For publishers, it is the writer's change of family and job change. These phenomena make the relationship between the two parties change from cooperation to conflicting parties, which are actually for their respective interests.

A publishing house is an institution, and of course it is impossible to directly connect with the author. The editor of the publishing house is the editor. This kind of docking often directly affects the relationship between the two parties. For example, editors can make the author's books sell well, so the cooperation between the two will naturally be very harmonious.

On the contrary, if there is insufficient publicity and the book is not sold well, cooperation may have problems. In fact, the publisher's publicity efforts, packaging plans, etc. for individual authors are often different, and the contradiction will inevitably arise.

Just like Zhang Chu’s previous cooperation with Nanhai Publishing Company, the previous few were still a honeymoon period, but when it came to the book "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the other party was unwilling to increase the royalty ratio, and even became conservative in publicity.

Menglong Culture Media will definitely think twice, and at this time, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House became the best option, with a 15% royalty ratio, a 5 million yuan prepaid royalty, and a large-scale copyright development plan that cooperates with the rest of the companies, etc., far exceeds that of Nanhai Publishing Company!

Under such circumstances, Zhang Chu parted ways with Nanhai Publishing Company and officially turned to the embrace of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House.

However, the publishing agreement he signed with Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House only stipulates the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, which means that "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is not listed and is a masterless thing!

Although I don’t know which side of the news leaked, it is definitely a favorable thing for Zhang Chu.

Even though some publishers vaguely speculated that Menglong Culture Media came from, suspecting that they deliberately leaked the news to raise Zhang Chu's value, there is no evidence to prove this.

This kind of gameplay is very common in commercial competition, and everyone wants to get Zhang Chu's works.

At the end, Zhou Kang added: "The conditions they gave are actually not much different. This month will be a few days away. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is currently ranked at the top of the sales list in January. It has sold a total of 2.51 million copies, which is quite impressive."

Zhang Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was really unexpected. In less than a month, the cumulative sales of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" have instantly killed any of his previous works!

"Pi's Fantasy Drift" is also pretty good, but it has just exceeded the 1.8 million copies in just a few months.

It is worthy of being a phenomenal work, and the sales in the book market are so gratifying!

"It was the first and second week of sales in 2019, but it was hit second in the third week and is expected to return to the championship this week. I hope it will be competitive in February, so you might have two books in the top five."

"Which book is there?" Zhang Chu asked suspiciously, "It is impossible for the 15th Year of Wanli to be published so soon, right?"

Zhou Kang reminded: "The Detective Sherlock, the trailer that BBC has been broadcasting for a long time. This British drama of the same name will be broadcast in February, with only three episodes. I don't know the quality, but it is said that CCTV Movie Channel has decided to introduce it, and Tencent Video has also bought the exclusive copyright. No matter what, it should be a little effective, right?"

After writing for so long, Zhang Chu was about to forget about this. There are only three stories in "Detective Sherlock". BBC TV is also very realistic, and only films three episodes, which is very conscientious.

If it were a domestic TV series, it would probably be possible to shoot ten episodes of a case!

"I don't know how big the effect will be after this British drama is broadcast." Zhang Chu was a little nervous. Sherlock's popularity was very high in his previous life. Audiences all over the world liked to watch Juan Fu and Watson solve the case.

But can you still replicate success on Earth in this life?

Even the system cannot give an answer. After all, this is reality and the future is full of uncertainty.

Zhou Kang was strange. He should be happy if he was normal. He thought Zhang Chu was nervous and worried, so he comforted him and said: "No matter how big the effect is, it is a good thing for us. No work was selected by a big TV station like bbc before. "Sherlock" has to face the whole world! Anyway, as long as it is broadcast, we can promote it around this point. I don't believe that Nanhai Publishing Company will put such money without making any profit."

"Uncle Zhou, netizens are all full of keen eyes now. Even if they want to promote it, they must be appropriate. Don't brag. If it is exposed, it will be quite embarrassing!"

Zhang Chu got a vaccination in advance. He did not object to using TV series to promote books and works. This is a matter of course, but it must not be exaggerated or false.

If you just check the influence, ratings, and other good reviews, you will know it by just checking it out on the Internet. There is no need to exaggerate it.

"Don't worry, we know. It would be great if it aired in January, so you can have two books in the top ten or top five in the sales list, which is an achievement that 99% of writers cannot achieve."

Zhang Chu didn't feel a little regretful. He said ambitiously: "There are still many opportunities in the future. I have quite a lot of ideas in my head, but I don't have time to write them. Uncle Zhou, do you have anything to do? I hang up the phone when I have nothing to do. Professor Yang is still waiting for me to pass on the work to him."

"This is a dereliction of duty in our work. Our company should have helped you find those experts, but you found it yourself. If you could ask Professor Yang and others to post a book review, the evaluation of experts like them is still very important."

"That's sure. Professor Yang and his group are all experts and scholars, and their influence in history is much greater than the writers you find, and they are more professional."

"Okay, if you have something to do, please call me."
