"Does Mr. Lin want to serialize it once in every channel? He has conquered "Science Fiction World", caused a sensation on Weibo, been in "Fantasy Age" for a long time, and even went to the overseas "Nature" for serialization, and now he has put his claws on it. "Reference News", all I can say is a job well done!"
"Boss, do you have a special newspaper that you prefer? In fact, the prices are not much different. If we negotiate later, we should be able to negotiate a higher price." Miao Hong said with confidence. With such a movable type sign, these newspapers are not yet in control. On my own side.
"The title of the book "Flatland" is quite strange. I would like to see why it is unusual."
In fact, judging from inflation, Lin Han's remuneration may not be the highest in the country, but this number is definitely very shocking. The Yangtze Evening News even made an offer of 80,000 words per thousand words, just to get Lin Han to join it!
Two days later, Lin Han, who had signed the contract, handed over the first 30,000 words he wrote to the editorial department of Reference News, and the two parties began to prepare for the promotion of the novel in a tacit understanding.
"Then it's decided. I'm going to find the reference news editorial department now. If they can come up with so much funding, they must have held many meetings." Miao Hong stood up. He suddenly remembered something and asked He said: "Boss, one last question, what is the estimated word count of "Flatland"?"
"Can I say that I have never looked forward to going to work on Monday so much? I feel sorry for myself!"
As the novel was about to be serialized, Lin Han belatedly posted such a Weibo post at noon on Sunday, serializing it every week on working days, and directly handing over the week's content to the editorial department for proofreading at once. This frequency is still high. Under Lin Han's control.
"The royalties are about the same, so it's better to choose a national newspaper. Although the Yangtze Evening News paid such a high price, it is only influential in the eastern region, and less in the north, south and even the southwest. It is local. Basically all newspapers are excluded!”
"Finally a new book is out. I have been waiting for a long time. I will definitely follow it..."
Another 33% comes from newsstands across the country, 20% comes from family subscriptions, and the rest comes from free subscriptions and other subscriptions.
For other authors, they might choose a newspaper with a thousand words or 80,000 words for serialization, or even deliberately delay the progress in order to make more money. Lin Han chose "Reference News" which can help him go further.
Of course, "Reference News" is a news media for the whole world. It is naturally impossible for it to use the front page to publish novels, so the treatment given to Lin Han is to publish an interview with Lin Han on the second page as an advertisement on the day of serialization, and then " "Flatland" is serialized in the ninth edition of "Style and Sports Stand".
Among them, the cultural and sports stand that publishes culture, sports and social countries has always been a favorite place for readers. There are always some people who don’t like to read hot commentaries on current affairs. After reading those serious things, they can then relax and relax by reading these!
Miao Hong carefully circled the "Reference News" and said jokingly: "In order to support your work, I decided to order a copy of this newspaper for each office in the company."
It can be said that most of the readers of "Reference News" are intellectuals and social elites. Young people in their twenties account for one-third of the readership group, and the other is middle-aged people in their thirties to forties. These two groups account for about 60% of the total readers!
"Reference News" usually has a total of sixteen pages, not to mention the front page. In addition, the main sections are news hot spots, current affairs, economic wide angle, financial perspective, military outlook, technological frontier, social scan, and cultural and sports stands!
Lin Han looked at the list of newspapers in his hand. He only felt that Chen Jiaxuan's suggestion was very reasonable. There were "Reference News", which has the largest circulation of China Daily, and "People's Daily", the official newspaper of the Party Central Committee and the official media representative. China's largest-circulation TV weekly, "China Television News," came to join in the cross-border fun.
"I have good news to tell you today. My new book "Flatland" will be officially launched in the "Reference News" cultural and sports section tomorrow, and will be serialized every Monday to Friday. Friends who want to read this book can buy a copy "Reference News", this is a very unusual novel, very strange!"
Lin Han looked at the "Reference News" that was ranked first. He also knew this newspaper and knew that it was the newspaper of the day that most readers in the country could read. The top "Reference News" was sponsored by Xinhua News Agency , there are 52 printing points across the country, and there are also versions in Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh and other languages!
"Teacher Lin is so awesome. It just so happens that our company has ordered "Reference News". I will be the first to rush to the office tomorrow!"
Miao Hong used a bold pen to cross out the local or regional newspapers on the list, and what remained were the big newspapers with printing points in various regions across the country!
This group of people is precisely the group of people who are most receptive to science fiction, so Lin Han was moved, and he said to Miao Hong: "Just "Reference News", their treatment is still very good, even this kind of newspaper is willing to take it" Signing a contract with a price of fifty thousand for one thousand words should be considered a big deal!"
Although he can earn hundreds of thousands of RMB by writing 10,000 words, and a book with 100,000 words can at least buy an apartment in Beijing, his goal is very clear, and he can earn more by selling physical books. .
"Boss, what do you think of "Reference News"? Its average daily circulation is more than 6 million copies, and it even set a record for the highest circulation of Chinese newspapers in the last century with 13.5 million."
Lin Han's response was Miao Hong's tut. Fifty thousand words per thousand words was actually this small amount of royalties. Perhaps only Lin Han had such confidence.
In addition, "Jinling Evening News", "Yangcheng Evening News", "China Youth Daily", "Beijing News", "Global Daily", "Xinmin Daily" and many other newspapers have participated. Which of them is not a newspaper that has been on the newsstand for a long time?
…
Yangtze Evening News, the evening newspaper with the largest circulation, offers the highest royalties, followed by Guangzhou Daily, the city daily with the largest circulation in China, and Southern Weekend, the news weekly with the largest circulation, even compares favorably with its compatriot, Southern Metropolis Daily. The arena is on!
"I haven't calculated it, but it should be more than 100,000 words. I won't deliberately control the plot just for the sake of word count. You can rest assured to the editorial department that I won't destroy my brand just for this remuneration!"
According to previous statistics, nearly 40% of the average daily printing volume of 6 million copies of "Reference News" are ordered by units, mainly party and government agencies, societies, institutions, enterprises, etc.
"That's okay. Anyway, the company also needs newspapers in this area to let everyone know about the world and what's happening around them."
After not posting news on Weibo for a long time, the news about Lin Han’s new book aroused huge discussion!
