Chapter 1576： Publishing to make money

The Central Plains during the Spring Festival is still very cold.

In winter, most people use coal stoves for heating.

With many years of publicity by the state, there are always some gas poisonings every year.

But this hidden danger is not in Ling Jiefang's home.

Because they use air conditioning in winter.

Ling Jiefang's home air conditioner is not only one, but a total of seven, four bedrooms, two living rooms plus a study, all installed.

However, they did not pay. This is Wei Xiaofan from Beijing Capital who congratulated them on helping the new house and buying it specially for them. The imported air conditioners are not available to ordinary people outside.

Hitachi's air conditioners have no noise, and the temperature is particularly suitable. It is very warm when entering the house in winter, and it is so cool in summer that people don't want to go out.

Its only drawback is that electricity is too expensive.

For example, in the summer of one month, the electricity cost of seven air conditioners is more than 100 yuan, which is almost two months' salary of a family in the city.

It is the same in winter. It took more than 500 yuan to use it for half a year. If it is changed before, Mrs. Ling is determined not to use it.

But why dare to use it now?

Because Ling Jiefang published two novels and made a lot of money.

Needless to say, it is published in China, that is, more than 5,000 yuan, after all, it is a buyout in China.

What really made Ling Jiefang make a lot of money was the royalties from the Kirin culture in Xiangjiang.

A friend whom Ling Jiefang knew, Bao Qingtian Wei Xiaofan, who is famous all over the country, happened to be the vice president of Qilin Group and the general manager of the Beijing branch of Qilin Group.

He admired Ling Jiefang's talent very much, and applied for the "Art Development Fund" of Kirin Group for Ling Jiefang a few years ago.

Then at the end of 1982, Ling Jiefang wrote his first novel. After reading it to Wei Xiaofan, Wei Xiaofan not only contacted him for domestic publishing, but also helped Ling Jiefang sell global copyright.

The so-called global copyright is actually a traditional Chinese version, and then there are a lot of things about the rights of film adaptation.

The first publication in China brought Ling Jiefang more than 2,000 incomes, which was equivalent to Ling Jiefang's three-year salary, which greatly improved Ling Jiefang's family life.

But compared to the money given by the Kirin culture in Xiangjiang, it is simply scum.

The first royalty paid by Kirin Culture is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the copyright fee for film and television, totaling 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When the money was exchanged for RMB and remittances were made by the people of the Beijing branch of Kirin Group to Ling Jiefang's house, Ling Jiefang and Mrs. Ling couldn't believe it.

Even for the next seven or eight days, they failed to sleep well and the bankbook was pressed under the pillow, almost daring to leave for a moment.

It took more than a month for their lives to return to normal, but they still dared not use the money. For fear that the country would send someone to say that this is illegal income, they must be handed over to the public.

However, after more than two months, the second royalties came one after another, and the exchange of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars into Renminbi made the couple a little numb.

But this time the employees of Kirin Group Huajing Branch, in addition to the second royalties, also brought the tax payment certificate in the Ministry of Culture, which made them feel more at ease.

The money is finally available.

It was also at this time that Ling Jiefang realized that his book had become popular in the Chinese circle throughout Asia and sold very well. This second print was also sold out. The third batch is being printed urgently, and the number is still doubled. Times.

It was also at this time that he realized that every time a book published on the other side of Xiangjiang was printed, it would be given royalties according to the contract, and the more it was sold, the more shares it would receive.

Compared with the way of Xiangjiang, the domestic publishing buyout model is a plunder to the author.

With an income of almost 60,000 yuan, how to spend it, Ling Jiefang also made a phone call to consult Wei Xiaofan.

Putting down the phone, he told his wife to see if there was a good house, and then he bought a lot of new furniture and appliances before moving.

The house he lives in now is a large courtyard with more than 300 square meters. In addition to the two courtyard dams, it is divided into twelve houses.

In addition to the family of three, they also took over their parents, so the house was not so deserted.

Then, in August of 1983, Ling Jiefang's second part was also written, still published in the previous two ways, and sold the film and television copyright.

In fact, Ling Jiefang did not know how much the copyright of the film and television was changed to sell. But the quotation obtained by Kirin Culture, he signed without looking at it.

In his words, "I believe Mr. Wei will not lie to me. He and Qilin Culture are my benefactors."

With the bedding of the first part, the number of initial prints of the second part has increased several times, so that by the Spring Festival this year, Ling Jiefang's passbook had an extra 100,000 yuan.

What made him even more happy was that the person who sent the money brought him some newspaper clips, all of which were about the evaluation.

The comments of more than a dozen newspapers are all praised for their fascinating and intriguing writing, which is simply a rare novel of emperors seen in recent years.

Literati, after food and clothing are satisfied, the favorite is honor and appreciation.

The high sales volume originally meant that the novel was popular, and now the literati sing praises to him one after another. No wonder Ling Jie feels relieved.

For this reason, his enthusiasm for writing the third part is much higher.

When the Spring Festival came, the Ling family and his wife's family came to his new home group, and Ling Jie let out a rare raised eyebrow.

Not only did he set up a five-table luxury banquet with chicken, duck and fish, he also gave a large red envelope.

The parents of both parties took 1,000 yuan each.

At present, there is no RMB 100 per piece, at most there is only RMB 10 per piece, and 100 pieces are thickly packed in red envelopes, leaving relatives blind.

Then the second brother, the third sister, the uncle, the little aunt ... and so on, all of them are 500 yuan red envelopes.

Even children can get huge red envelopes of 50 yuan, and they scream with joy.

This is not to blame Ling Jiefang and his couple for giving money to them. It is because they have lived too hard in previous years and have always been cared for by their families.

For example, when they just got married, they didn't have anything. These relatives didn't bring them food and clothing.

After the daughter was born, didn't the little aunt carry 100 eggs from her hometown to supplement her wife's nutrition?

Now it's hard to make money, of course they have to give back to their family.

This is also a manifestation after the Chinese people are generally developed.

Wealth is not obvious, just like a night walk in Jinyi, right?

...

It is far more than just Ling Jiefang who has been changed his destiny.

The "Literary and Art Development Fund", which has to be subsidized every month, has now been raised to US $ 10 million in principal.

Calculated according to the high interest rate of the US dollar, its income in one year is 1.4 million US dollars, which is 3.25 million yuan.

Although it is really a loss to exchange according to the official exchange rate, but this is the money issued by the official cultural department, naturally it can not go black. The market's 1: 5 exchange rate.

The money has been and is currently supporting more than 5,000 writers, screenwriters, poets and directors, and each month they are given 50-100 yuan.

With the support of these funds, many people have already made achievements like Ling Jiefang.

In 81 years, Kirin Culture has published 15 novels for mainland writers.

At that time, sales were not very good. Even if it was published for all Asian Chinese, the best Lu Yao ’s short story collection only sold about 15,000 copies, but the income of more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars greatly inspired him .

The same is true of other writers and private individuals, who have concentrated on writing and creating better works.

So in 82, Kirin Culture published 39 novels, poetry collections, prose and other works.

In 1983, Kirin Culture published 85 novels, poetry collections, prose and other works.

And with the familiarity of overseas Chinese to them ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the prejudice against some cultural people in the mainland has been eliminated, and sales have also increased significantly.

The best nature is Er Yuehe. Two books sold more than 100,000 copies in one go, and they are still being printed.

Then the works of other authors, or seven or eight thousand, ten or twenty thousand, thirty thousand or fifty thousand ...

The huge overseas Chinese market always has a lot of their companions, which has earned them a high rating and the income of the manuscripts they need most at this time.

The income of the manuscript fees given to them by Qilin Culture is, of course, registered and reported through official channels, and then paid taxes on behalf of the law before handing over to the authors. Everything is legal and reasonable, so that no one can find a slight fault.

You have to say that those officials are not jealous, it must be fake.

But they didn't want to put it in their bags, but they now use money everywhere for their work. They are almost mad and want to use it in their own departments.

But this thing is handled by Qilin Culture throughout the process, they can't do it if they want to intervene.

Considering the strength of the Kirin Group and considering the opening of a food factory, Xiao Lao and Yun Lao would both personally go to congratulate, and few people dare to use their brains.

These literary and artistic workers can earn their own labor income through their own wisdom and talents. For themselves, it is a move to greatly improve their self-esteem.

Literati certainly hate the food that spurs, and they can make money by writing books, writing poems, and writing scripts.

This is now true of these literary and artistic workers in the Mainland.

With such a huge Chinese market abroad, even if their sales are average, with this domestic standard of living, it is enough to be rich. ) Book friends, pay attention!
