Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

"It's interesting, you can ask for a price." After reading the 50,000-word "Journey to Misty", the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, Pan Aosheng, suppressed his shock to the novel "Journey to Misty".

"One thousand words and five hundred." Xu Cun quoted directly.

"What? Mr. Xu, are you sure you're not joking?" Pan Aosheng said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Isn't Ni Han's "Wesley" a thousand words and five hundred? Does Mr. Pan feel that "The Misty Journey" is inferior to "Wesley"?" Xu Cun looked at Pan Aosheng and asked.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, you are just a newcomer, while Mr. Ni Kuang is a long-established senior in the literary world. In addition, Mr. Ni Kuang's remuneration is not enough. Six months ago, Huang Yulang launched a new magazine and borrowed money from it. He wanted to make a lot of money by paying Mr. Ni Kuang's super-high manuscript fee to make a lot of money for "Wesley", so as to make his magazine popular, so he gave Mr. Ni Kuang a price of 500 per thousand words. The manuscript fee for Ming Pao is only 1,000 words and 180." Pan Aosheng said while suppressing his displeasure.

Xu Cun really didn't know what Pan Aosheng said. He just inquired from Li Zhu's house that Ni Han's manuscript fee was 1,000 words and 500, so he quoted the price. Hearing what Pan Aosheng said, Xu Cun also felt that the price he quoted was a bit outrageous. However, the sophistication he did not show.

After a pause, Pan Aosheng continued: "Under normal circumstances, 500 per thousand words is the price of a famous expert and expert orchid—for example, Ms. Yishu writes a film review, which is probably the price. However, if Ms. Yishu writes a novel, she needs to The designation for publishing in Ming Pao is not so high, the maximum is 200,000 words. So, Mr. Xu, if you really want to publish your "Mischievous Journey" in Ming Pao, I can only give you 50,000 words at most. s price."

"Fifty thousand words?" Xu Cun repeated with a frown. This price is too far from what Xu Cun expected - he didn't expect Pan Aosheng to bargain, but he didn't expect Pan Aosheng to push the price so low.

"Mr. Xu, the price of 50,000 words is not low. The average newcomer can write high-quality articles for only 1,000 words and 30. I personally like your "Mischievous Journey", so I gave you 5,000 words. The price of ten." Pan Aosheng persuaded Xu Cun.

Next, after some haggling, the two tentatively set the price to 1,000 characters and 80. However, Xu Cun did not agree on the spot, only said that he would go back and think about it.

Pan Aosheng personally sent Xu Cun out of the "Ming Pao" building, and then urged Xu Cun to give him an answer as soon as possible, and then waved goodbye to Xu Cun.

Xu Cun, who left the Ming Pao building, went straight to the headquarters of the Oriental Daily - Xu Cun would not make a final decision without shopping around.

On the way, Xu Cun bought a copy of Ming Pao, a copy of Ming Pao Evening News, a copy of Oriental Daily, and a copy of Sing Tao Daily with the change left over from buying pens and dictionaries yesterday.

After simply looking at the four newspapers, Xu Cun became more confident about the trip to the headquarters of the "Oriental Daily".

…

Xu Jixin is a little younger than Pan Aosheng, and the shock to him is greater than that of Pan Aosheng.

After reading "The Misty Journey" twice, Xu Jixin put down "The Misty Journey" and said: "Mr. Xu, your "The Misty Journey" really opened my eyes! If you are willing to publish it in our "Oriental Daily" "Mischievous Journey", I will give you the price of fifty thousand words."

"Let's be honest, Mr. Xu, I just came out from Ming Pao. I am not satisfied with the price given by Mr. Pan, so I came to see you. If you can only give this price, then I can only go again. "Sing Tao Daily" read it." Xu Cun said.

Xu Cun's words made Xu Jixin's heart sink—he knew that it would cost a lot of money to keep "Mischievous Journey" today.

Immediately, Xu Jixin asked Xu Cun calmly: "Mr. Xu, can I ask, what is the price Lao Pan gave you?"

Xu Cun is not a youngster who has never seen the world, so how could he tell Xu Jixin the details? He said slowly: "The price I quoted to Mr. Pan is five hundred thousand words."

"Uh...that...I'll tell the truth, don't mind - Mr. Xu, given your reputation, this price is too outrageous. Mr. Ni Hang's royalties half a year ago can't be used as an industry mark, so..." Xu Jixin said stunned. .

"I bought a few newspapers on the way here and saw that Ni Jiao's novel was published in Ming Pao and Wen Ruian's novel was published in Ming Pao Evening News. ” published, the prospect of “Oriental Daily” is a bit worrying!” Xu Cun said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, you are quite confident in your "Mischievous Journey"!" Xu Jixin said angrily.

"To be favored by both Mr. Pan and you at the same time, "The Journey of Misty" should be regarded as a good novel, maybe it can change the current pattern of "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily"... I I heard that the reason why Ming Pao has its current status is all thanks to Mr. Cha's martial arts novels." Xu Cun said confidently. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Xu Jixin was silent for a while, and then read "The Journey of Misty", and then said to Xu Cun: "Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, I will discuss with Mr. Ma."

…

Mr. Ma is Ma Chengkun, the general manager of Oriental Daily. He is only 21 years old this year.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for such a young Ma Chengkun to be the general manager of "Oriental Daily"!

But there was no way. Ma Chengkun's father Ma Xiru and uncle Ma Xizhen were accused of smuggling opium into Hong Kong and offering bribes one after another this year, and both fled back to Taiwan. Therefore, the "Oriental Daily" can only be resisted by Ma Chengkun, the leader of the younger generation of the Ma family.

Ma Xiru and Ma Xianzhen founded the "Oriental Daily" and developed the "Oriental Daily" into one of the most influential newspapers in Hong Kong. At the same time, they fled to Taiwan and hit the "Oriental Daily" greatly. It is conceivable that in just a few months, the sales of "Oriental Daily" have been reduced by half. If things go on like this, it won't be long before the "Oriental Daily" has to close its doors.

Therefore, when Ma Chengkun was deeply attracted by the novelty of "Journey of Misty", he immediately decided: "Give him three hundred thousand words, I, Ma Chengkun, want to let the people of Hong Kong know that it is not only topaz who is willing to buy bones with thousands of dollars. A wolf!"

…

When Xu Cun returned to Li's house with two Baicao chickens in his hand with the contract of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars and "Journey to the Misty", Li Zhu brought another good news to Xu Cun: "Cunzai, my brother from my family. Li Wo worked as a prop in the production crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and he promised to let you go to the props team of "Dream of Red Mansions"."
