"Are you sure?" Qu Zhong looked at the document in front of him and looked up at Han Shuang, his tone seemed to be somewhat disbelieving.
"OK." Han Shuang stood in front of Qu Zhong and nodded.
With Han Shuang's confirmation, Qu Zhong turned his head to look at the contract in his hand, the surprised expression on his face still couldn't melt away.
He has seen a lot of authors who have been fighting with the publishing house for several months for a little manuscript fee.
But he has never seen the author of this kind of reverse talk about conditions.
[-] copies sold in the first month, [-]% royalties.
is it possible?
Wouldn't it be nice to honestly take a [-]% royalty on the circulation?
But Qu Zhong silently thought about Li Yi's identity
Li Yi is already the supreme god of origin. If he can sell a few film and television rights or game rights this year, his income will exceed [-] million, which is more than the net profit of his own publishing house in a year.
Especially when there are more works in the future, and the copyrights accumulated for several years, breaking [-] million a year is like playing.
"I don't understand the life of the rich." Qu Zhong sighed faintly.
"The three-year exclusive publishing right has become one year?" Qu Zhong saw one of the clauses, but he didn't care. It doesn't matter whether the three-year exclusive publishing right or the one-year exclusive publishing right.
He himself doesn't quite believe that this book will be read a year later.
It's even possible that the book itself doesn't cost a dime.
Because even Qu Zhong is not optimistic about the sales volume of [-] copies in the first month.
Anyway, Li Yi is a wealthy businessman with an annual revenue of over [-] million yuan, so Qu Zhong doesn't feel bad at all for picking up the wool.
"Just sign it like this. After signing, send the manuscript to proofread as soon as possible for the first printing." Qu Zhong hesitated for a moment, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, then thought for a while, raised his head and said to Han Shuang: " Let's print [-] copies for the first time. Follow up the follow-up process."
Qu Zhong handed the document to Han Shuang.
"Okay." Han Shuang nodded, took the file, and left Qu Zhong's office.
After returning to the office, Han Shuang sent the electronic file to the employee in charge of proofreading the manuscript, but after a while, the employee in charge of proofreading sent a message.
"Editor Han, what's the author's name?"
"."
Han Shuang was taken aback for a moment, then patted his forehead with a look of annoyance on his face, he had actually forgotten about this matter.
Li Yi didn't use his real name, so he naturally needed a pseudonym to conceal it.
"You proofread first." Han Shuang sent a message to the proofreading staff, and quickly took out her mobile phone to find Li Yi's profile picture, and sent Li Yi a message.
"What are you going to use as the pen name for "Three-Body Problem"?" Han Shuang asked.
After a while, a name came from Li Yi, and Han Shuang felt an urge to beat Li Yi violently when he saw it.
"Anonymous."
"Anonymous? Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"."
Seeing Li Yi's words, Han Shuang was speechless, and it took him a long time to sigh leisurely. After all, he is still a 19-year-old child, and he is too playful.
On the side of Muyi Company, Li Yi also smiled and watched the Fetion news with Han Shuang.
Li Yi has read countless books since he was a child, but when he was young, Li Yi felt that the most powerful author was 'Anonymous'.Because many of the books I have read are written by this author. He knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, the five elements and gossip, and knows Yin and Yang. He is simply an all-round author.
Therefore, I have always admired this author and regarded him as an idol.
But it wasn't until Li Yi grew up that he realized that "anonymous" equals "no name", which means that the author's name is no longer available.
It was only then that Li Yi discovered that the author he had always admired was actually countless authors who had been submerged in the long river of history.
So Li Yi chose such a pseudonym because it was a bit of a joke.
But apart from that, there is another reason for Li Yi to use the pseudonym 'Anonymous'.
The works I have drawn are all works of big bosses from different worlds, but it is impossible for me to say this.
So this 'Anonymous' actually also represents the bosses of different worlds. How similar are these bosses of different worlds to those authors who have been forgotten by history?
That's why Li Yi used the pseudonym 'Anonymous', and there are also bigwigs representing this group of other worlds.
Li Yi didn't use his real name, so he had two considerations.
First, even though the sword dance videos on the TV network broke through tens of millions since I was a child, I have completely looked down on these things.But if I don't want to be a star, I can keep a low profile. After all, Li Yi's current focus is on the company, and other aspects can be less troublesome. Anyway, I don't expect such a novel to earn much popularity.It doesn't even matter if the three-body problem hits the street. It's normal for literary works to hit the street, but I have the confidence to give it a second life through film and television adaptations.
Second, these works are not works written by Li Yi. Li Yi was embarrassed and put these books on his head.
Although 'Anonymous' is only asking for comfort, which seems to be a bit hypocritical, but spiritual comfort is better than nothing.
So after getting Li Yi's definite answer.
A proofreading employee at Kyoto Publishing House saw a pen name that he often saw.
"Anonymous? Did our publishing house just discover the draft of this book?" the proofreader asked curiously.
".No..." Han Shuang felt that she was not very good at explaining to the proofreader, so she could only evade him.Then the proofreader was sent to work.
The proofreader sensed Han Shuang's anger from his words, and quickly silenced, focusing on the work in front of him.
"20 words? It can be proofread in about five days." The proofreader said confidently.
But an hour later, the proofreader looked back at the number of words he proofread——
3 words! !
The proofreader stared at the manuscript on the screen and was also stunned.
He proofread for three hours, but he didn't proofread anything except for a few typos.
It has to be said that this is simply a miracle!
You must know that those authors are lazy. A small number of authors who strive for excellence in their works will review the manuscript and correct typos. Other authors directly check it once, feel that the plot is okay, and then directly publish it. The club is here.
At this time, it is hard for the proofreader.
Because of the manuscripts of these authors, typos and wrong sentences can be picked out every minute, and I feel that every minute of proofreading the manuscript is a torment.
But the manuscript in front of me is completely different. Except for a few typos, I didn't even pick out a sentence with a grammar problem. This feeling is like proofreading the manuscript, and I am proofreading it myself.
That kind of exhilarating feeling of rushing thousands of miles is simply not too refreshing!
"This author named 'Anonymous' is really." The proofreader pinched his shell for a while, and then said slowly: "Good guy!"
Then the proofreader continued to review the manuscript happily.
Soon the whole morning passed, and at noon, the proofreader reluctantly raised his head.
"This novel is really good!"
The proofreader sighed.
Picking up the phone, the proofreader glanced at the time, only to realize that there were still 10 minutes before the lunch break.
"How about another trial in the afternoon?" the proofreader stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, looking at the screen and muttering to himself.
"Try again! How can the work be half-sloppy!" The proofreader made this decision with firm eyes.
