Chapter 148 Special Cooperation
Lu Yanhe went shopping with Li Pengfei, and also bought a laptop. Just after buying it, Li Pengfei suddenly thought of something and said, "Should I also buy one for Xu Zijun? She Definitely not."
"Take it easy, she may not be willing to accept it," said Lu Yanhe, "a piece of luggage. It doesn’t matter if it costs a few hundred yuan, but a laptop costs several thousand, which is nothing to you, but it is a very expensive gift to her.”
“You are right. "Li Pengfei nodded and accepted it readily. He didn't say in an exaggerated tone like the rich second generation in the TV series, "What's so expensive about this!"
This is Li Pengfei, a rich second generation who doesn't usually show off his wealth and doesn't like to see "class theory" like Chu Saiying. He doesn't have the problem of "why not eat minced meat".
Just when Lu Yanhe thought this, he heard Li Pengfei suddenly say: "Next time, find a reason and send it away in a legitimate manner."
"..." Lu Yanhe gave this guy a sideways look.
Is this a question of origin?
The phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from an unknown number.
Lu Yanhe answered the number with some surprise.
"Hello, Hi, is this Lu Yanhe?" The other party introduced himself, "I am Xu Xiaoyin, the novel editor of Jiangyin Publishing House. Is it convenient for me to speak?"
"I "I am." Lu Yanhe was confused, "What's the matter?"
"That's right, I am the editor-in-chief of "Nineteen Years of Crime". Thank you very much for recommending this book in the live broadcast room last night. I don't know if you are free today. I want to express it to you in person. Thank you."
Lu Yanhe was even more shocked after hearing this.
This is really something unexpected.
"Uh, no need to thank you, you're too polite." Lu Yanhe said, "I didn't make any special recommendations. I just read this novel during the live broadcast and I haven't finished it yet. .”
Xu Xiaoyin said: “But it’s because you read this book. book, this book sold more than a thousand copies online last night. If you have time, let me express my gratitude in person. In addition, I also have another book that I would like you to read and see if We can cooperate.”
Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard this.
Cooperation?
Lu Yanhe hesitated.
He said: "Then... is it convenient for you to come to Zhoufujing now? There is a cafe on the first floor here, if it is convenient for you now."
Xu Xiaoyin immediately smiled and said: "Of course it's convenient. It will take us thirty minutes to get here, okay?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
Lu Yanhe hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and sent Chen Ziyan a message I sent a message and told her about it.
Chen Ziyan replied: Maybe they saw that you could help sell more than a thousand copies of this book by reading it live yesterday, so they want you to help promote the book. However, booksellers have low profits, and they can’t give you much if they ask you to cooperate in promotion. As for the promotion fee, you can have a chat with her first to see what her intentions are. If you really want to establish a business partnership, you will have to go through the contract seriously and wait until I come back to discuss it. But based on my understanding of publishing Knowing the industry well, it is difficult for them to offer high prices.
Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said: Then I will talk to her first.
Chen Ziyan: Well, it depends on your own mood. If it is a non-commercial cooperative promotion, you can weigh it yourself. Do you like this book? Are you willing to help promote it? What is the content of this book? and whether the topic is suitable to appear in your live broadcast room. In short, listen to everything you say first, don’t agree, I will check it for you, and then you can reply to others.
Lu Yanhe: If it’s too much trouble, I’ll just refuse.
Chen Ziyan: If it were other artists, I would have asked them to refuse. You are different. Your live broadcast room itself is a learning path. In the future, you will do live broadcasts and become a book-reading blogger. Your public image is also a plus.
Lu Yanhe understood Chen Ziyan's intention.
Chen Ziyan said: This is the biggest difference between you and other artists. Knowledge, academic qualifications, intellectuals, these things cannot be packaged by the brokerage company, and it does not mean that you should rely on these labels in a worldly way. But if you study well and love reading, then let’s make a fuss around these and do it without guilt or apology. Others will not be able to imitate you.
Lu Yanhe replied with the word "good".
"I bought it." Li Pengfei paid the bill and had his laptop installed for him.
There is a suitcase in his left hand and a laptop bag in his right hand. His face is green and green, and he looks like a young man who has just finished the college entrance examination.
"Let's go." Li Pengfei said.
They will go to Li Pengfei's house later.
Lu Yanhe said: "I just answered a phone call. I'm going to meet someone from a publishing house here later. How about you go back first and I'll come back by myself."
" People from the publishing house? What does this have to do with you?” Li Pengfei looked confused, "I'll go with you and wait for you here."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Okay, I made an appointment with them to meet them at the cafe we just entered. Let's go there and wait now. them.”
"Okay."
The two people passed by together.
Li Pengfei listened to Lu Yanhe’s talk and then realized why people from the publishing house came to see Lu Yanhe.
“Awesome, just one live broadcast and helped people sell a thousand books.” Li Pengfei said.
Lu Yanhe was actually surprised. The average number of stable viewers in his live broadcast room is only about 4,000. This has been slowly increasing in the past six months. With the people coming in and out, maybe half of the live broadcast was done yesterday. hours, in total, about 10,000 people have watched his live broadcast. How can 1,000 people buy this book?
Is his appeal so strong?
Lu Yanhe always felt unreliable.
However, this data comes from the publisher.
-
Xu Xiaoyin brought Xu Mingyue to the coffee shop in Zhoufujing. When she opened the door and walked in, there were quite a few people inside, but Lu Yanhe was easy to find. Just search online. In his photos, good-looking people are always more prominent in the crowd. You can see him at a glance. It can only be said that people's eyes are also focused on good-looking people.
Xu Xiaoyin and Xu Mingyue are both women. They are always a little happy when they see handsome guys in real life, especially a handsome guy who has just graduated from high school.
They went over and said hello.
"Hello, Lu Yanhe, this is Xu Xiaoyin who called you before."
Xu Xiaoyin stretched out her hand and shook Lu Yanhe's hand.
Lu Yanhe: "Hello, Sister Xiaoyin."
Xu Xiaoyin glanced at Li Pengfei, somewhat confused about his identity.
Li Pengfei took the initiative to grin and said: "Li Pengfei, classmate Lao Lu."
"Xu Mingyue, an intern in our agency." Xu Xiaoyin also introduced them to them.
Xu Mingyue felt quite complicated at this moment.
A year ago, she accidentally saw Lu Yanhe’s live broadcast room. Because she thought the anchor was handsome, she recommended it to her roommate in the dormitory. As a result, He Lan became his die-hard fan. Years later, she actually met him again because of his live broadcast room.
He probably never imagined that she had also been an audience member of his live broadcast room.
Xu Xiaoyin picked up a canvas bag that looked like it was carefully designed by someone. It was heavy, put it on the table, pushed it to Lu Yanhe, and said, "Thank you very much for reading "Nineteen Years" in the live broadcast room. This book, this little thank you, is our A set of famous hardcover books released by the publishing house."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "Oh! Thank you!"
Xu Xiaoyin said, "Actually, I understand. After this incident, I was particularly moved. Now There are many so-called book bloggers on the Internet who record various book promotion videos and copywriting, and they only accept money to do this. So when we heard about this news, we thought it was someone from the marketing department who did it. Later, Only then did I realize that this was a spontaneous act on your part.”
"I have been live streaming before, and now after I have finished the exam, I will watch novels on live streaming. I like reading novels myself." Lu Yanhe said, "I have only read the first part of "Nineteen Years of Crime Record", and I still read it. I haven’t finished reading yet.”
"This novel is well written, but because it is a new author, it has not received much attention since it was released." Xu Xiaoyin asked curiously, "Where did you know about this book?"
"I am I finished the exam the day before yesterday, and I went to the bookstore yesterday and picked up this book. I didn’t know this book from anywhere in particular.”
Xu Xiaoyin was surprised.
Then this is really a combination of luck.
She laughed: "That's great. I thought not many people are willing to go to bookstores now."
After greetings, Xu Xiaoyin started talking about business.
"Yan He, I came to you specifically today. There is another thing, which is also a cooperation. Another book I am responsible for, "Star Orbit", will be released this Thursday. I don’t know if we Can we cooperate in the promotion of this book?" Xu Xiaoyin took out another book from her bag, a new one wrapped in plastic, and pushed it in front of Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe looked at Xu Xiaoyin in surprise and said, "Promote it?"
"Well, I would like to ask you to read this book in the live broadcast room." Xu Xiaoyin said, "This novel is I discovered it two years ago and I am also a new author. Now When the market is not good, it is difficult for new authors to get ahead. I finally got the book number and the opportunity to go public. The first printing is only 8,000 copies. I happened to know you, so I thought about whether we could cooperate.”
< br>Lu Yanhe looked at the book in his hand hesitantly.
"Of course, we are definitely not freeloaders." Xu Xiaoyin said immediately, "We will provide corresponding promotion fees, but our publishing industry is not as good as other industries, and the promotion fees may not be as good as your usual quotation."
< br>Lu Yanhe thought to himself, then you are overthinking.
This is the first time he has been exposed to this kind of promotion work.
"Sister Xiaoyin, this is it. If it is a commercial cooperation, my work must be approved by my agent. I can't reply to you right now."
Xu Xiaoyin Nodding: "Understood, we understand, because I don't have your agent's contact information. Do you think you should give me your agent's contact information, or can you relay it to me?"
Lu Yanhe: "How about I talk to my agent later and ask her to contact you?"
"That would be great." Xu Xiaoyin said.
-
After coming out of the cafe, Xu Mingyue followed Xu Xiaoyin into her car.
Xu Mingyue asked: "Sister Xiaoyin, we usually invite artists like Lu Yanhe to do promotions. How much promotion fee should we pay?"
Xu Xiaoyin said: "I don't know. If you really want to pay promotion fees, you need to submit them to the publisher for discussion. Generally speaking, unless you are a dedicated reading blogger and have negotiated a cooperation framework with the publishing house, generally this kind of single The promotion of this book is all through Ask someone for help because of connections or favors."
Xu Mingyue asked in confusion: "Then you asked him for a promotion fee just now..."
"That is to show our attitude." Xu Xiaoyin said, "You can't really take it for granted. Please ask someone for help."
"What if they really want promotion fees?"
"Then just report it to the agency and pay the bill," Xu Xiaoyin said. During the live broadcast, nothing was said, just We can help sell a thousand copies of this book. What’s wrong with applying for a promotion fee? It’s just not too high. In fact, celebrities like this usually give it to us directly after hearing how much our promotion fee is. It’s free.”
"Ah?"
"How much promotion fee do you think we can give?" Xu Xiaoyin looked at Xu Mingyue and laughed.
Xu Mingyue: "How much do you usually give?"
"Five hundred, or one thousand?" Xu Xiaoyin said, "Unless it is a very popular live broadcast room that can help us sell in one night Those with tens of thousands of copies are usually priced like this.”
“Isn’t this too low?”
"Then it depends on what you compare it with. The profit of a book is only so much. If you pay too much, isn't that a loss-making business?" Xu Xiaoyin sighed, "The publishing industry is really in recession now. Mingyue, do you really plan to buy it in the future?" Come to the publishing industry?”
Xu Mingyue hesitated and said: “I have always had this dream, but I haven’t thought about it clearly yet. I want to work as an intern now. , I also want to find out in advance whether I really love this industry. I read a lot of novel magazines when I was a child, and I really wanted to work in a magazine at that time, but now many magazines have ceased publication.”
< br>"There is no way. I thought electronic magazines were a new way of development before, but now I find that electronic magazines are not feasible either." Xu Xiaoyin sighed with a smile.
-
Lu Yanhe called Chen Ziyan in the car and told her about Xu Xiaoyin. When Chen Ziyan heard this, she said: "Okay, you can send me her number and I will contact her."
Lu Yanhe said yes.
After hanging up the phone, Li Pengfei looked at Lu Yanhe with a strange look on his face and asked, "Are you so good in front of your agent? Why did you call her immediately for such a trivial matter?"
Lu Yanhe said: "Agent, this is a job, of course you have to tell him as soon as possible She wants her to help me deal with the follow-up matters, and I have never dealt with these matters myself."
What Lu Yanhe did not say was that he and Chen Ziyan had just started cooperating, and he did not want to do it because of his inability to communicate. In time, Chen Ziyan misunderstood that he was a person who liked to take on private work by himself.
Many artists take private jobs on their own and bypass their managers, which is often one of the reasons why the relationship between artists and managers breaks down.
"I forgot to ask just now, how did they know the number?" Lu Yanhe said suddenly.
“Ah?” Li Pengfei looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, “Didn’t she tell you?”
“She didn’t tell you, and I forgot to ask.” Lu Yanhe said, “I Not many people know the number.”
-
"But it's also very strange." Xu Mingyue suddenly said in the car.
"What's weird?" Xu Xiaoyin asked.
Xu Mingyue: "When we reported it to Star Entertainment, didn't we say that he had terminated his contract with Star Entertainment? Then he said he wanted to find an agent to contact us. Where did he get the agent?"
Xu Xiaoyin came back to her senses and realized the problem.
“It’s true.” She thought for a while and said, “Did you change a brokerage company?”
Xu Xiaoyin's cell phone rang just at this time.
It’s an unknown number.
Xu Xiaoyin answered the phone and her phone was connected to Bluetooth. She signaled Xu Mingyue to stop talking.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"I am Chen Ziyan, Lu Yanhe's agent." A somewhat capable female voice said, "Are you Xu Xiaoyin?"
"Ah, yes, I am Xu Xiaoyin, Chen...agent, hello."
"Hello." Chen Ziyan laughed, "Yan He just called me and told me You are looking for cooperation with him. I heard that he wants to help your publisher promote a novel?"
Xu Xiaoyin: "Yes, yes, I am. The editor in charge of this book is actually because Lu Yanhe read another book I was responsible for during the live broadcast yesterday. The market feedback was very good, so I wanted to see if we could cooperate in promoting the new book "Star Orbit". "
Chen Ziyan said: "Editor Xu, that's it. As for Yan He, he usually loves reading. Of course there is no problem in promoting the books you like to read, but this kind of cooperation is a bit restrictive. What do you think? If your publishing house has books that you want Yan He to promote, just send him one or two. Yan He chooses by himself. What he likes and is willing to promote is up to him. As for the promotion fee, forget it, it’s not that serious. For marketing, he just reads books in his live broadcast room. Correspondingly, you don’t specify which books to let him promote. For things like books, choose the audience. Yan He doesn’t like the fans in the live broadcast room. You may not like it, but what do you think about making this collaboration less utilitarian?”
Of course Xu Xiaoyin was very surprised.
"Of course it's good, but..." Xu Xiaoyin felt embarrassed and gave Lu Yanhe a few books. It was nothing, it was just a free bargain. "It's not bad if I don't give you a promotion fee, right? It's nothing. For cooperation in public welfare activities, one or two books is enough. If we can cooperate in the long term, We would be embarrassed to keep taking advantage of this."
Chen Ziyan smiled and said, "Let's talk about the early stage first. If there is really room for long-term cooperation in the future, we can pass Yan He's decision. Influence will continue to help you sell more books, and we will talk about the box when the time comes. I know that unless it is a particularly best-selling book, the profit from a book is not high. I also saw that Yan He is a person who loves reading, so I helped him pick it up."
< br>Xu Xiaoyin always felt embarrassed to take advantage for nothing - this time she took Writing a book "Star Orbit" for promotional cooperation, it makes sense to take advantage of not charging promotion fees, but Chen Ziyan's intention is obviously to let Lu Yanhe do long-term promotion in his live broadcast room, as long as they send the book, Lu Yanhe himself She likes it and is willing to promote it, which makes her embarrassed.
But Chen Ziyan clearly doesn’t need the promotion fee now, and she hasn’t received the newspaper’s consent yet, so she can force the promotion fee on her.
Xu Xiaoyin had to say: "Thank you very much."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaoyin felt that it was incredible that this matter went smoothly.
She asked Xu Mingyue doubtfully: "Are people in the entertainment industry so easy to deal with?"
Xu Mingyue: "...No."
-
Chen Ziyan really looks down on that small promotion fee.
If you are too lazy to earn a small profit, why not let Lu Yanhe take advantage of Jiangyin Publishing House? There may be some unexpected opportunities in the future.
Jiangyin Publishing House is also one of the large publishing houses in China. It has a national brand background and has many writer resources. In this IP era, it has good relations with many film and television companies and has participated in many projects. Investment in film and television dramas.
This is a big consideration, but a small consideration is that Chen Ziyan does not want to let this matter smell like copper.
To be precise, he didn’t want Lu Yanhe’s image of a book lover to be tainted with the smell of copper.
Once people know about it, his love of reading will inevitably become more utilitarian, and the good thing will become bad.
-
Only when he was approaching Li Pengfei's house, Lu Yanhe realized who had given his number.
Liu Qin called him and said: "Yan He, just now a classmate of mine from a publishing house contacted me and said that he has a cooperation with you. Since he is an old classmate of mine, I didn't think much about it. I just gave it to you. As soon as I realized it, I had to tell you first. Has she contacted you? "
"Ah, you contacted me." Lu Yanhe never expected that it was his class teacher, "Is Editor Xu Xiaoyin your classmate?"
"She? Who is she? The person who asked me for my number is Liu Cheng is now an editor-in-chief of Jiangyin Publishing House.”
"Oh! The person who came to see me was an editor named Xu Xiaoyin." Lu Yanhe explained.
"That might be the editor under her." Liu Qin said, "Sorry, I didn't think so much just now. You have a special status. You really can't give out your mobile phone number casually. I'll tell you first next time. "It's inconvenient to ask."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Liu," Lu Yanhe said.
Liu Qin: "I haven't asked you yet, how did you do in the exam? You kids, too, didn't say anything to me after the exam, so it's not easy for me to ask."
" "It's pretty good, I'm performing normally." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "It's because the results haven't come out yet. The results haven't come out yet. How can I have the nerve to call you? If I say too high, I'll be embarrassed, but if I say low, I'm afraid you'll worry. ”
Liu Qin laughed openly and said, "Just perform normally. If you improve your grades quickly later, you will definitely be admitted to a key university."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Lu Yanhe said.
The teacher and the student chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.
Lu Yanhe was sincerely grateful to teacher Liu Qin.
Not just her, but also Lao Chen, Su Su, and Mrs. Lin.
If he hadn't met these good teachers, he wouldn't have been able to improve his grades so quickly on his own.
Especially Su Su.
History is really a big problem. If he hadn't met a teacher like Su Su who was good at giving lectures and solving problems, he really doesn't know if he would have finally figured it out.
Li Pengfei shrugged his arms and said, "Why are you dazing, we're here."
Lu Yanhe came back to his senses, looked up, and was shocked to find that Li Pengfei's house was also in the same community. Inside, there is a small villa with a yard. The yard is not big, only about fifty square meters, but in this area, if you can have a yard, the price will definitely be expensive.
All I can say is that his usual joke about "rich people" is really not a joke to others.
“It’s so grand.” Lu Yanhe sighed with envy.
Li Pengfei chuckled.
"Go in and take a look. My dad is not here, and Aunt Zhang is alone at home."
Lu Yanhe also knows Aunt Zhang from Li Pengfei's family. In the past, this Aunt Zhang often came to school to give Li Pengfei Lu Yanhe also helped many times when delivering meals.
"Aunt Zhang, help me cut some fruit and make two cups of coffee and bring them over." Li Pengfei shouted as soon as he entered the door and asked Lu Yanhe to follow him upstairs.
Aunt Zhang was sitting on the small balcony checking her cell phone. When she saw him coming back with his classmates, she responded with a smile.
Lu Yanhe followed Li Pengfei upstairs and entered his room.
Li Pengfei put his suitcase against the wall and said, "Let's go, let's go, there's nothing interesting to see in my bedroom. Go next door."
The next door turned out to be a game room, with a whole side The walls are all equipped with electronic screens.
This was the first time Lu Yanhe saw a room dedicated to a game room. Two lazy sofas were placed against the other wall. People could lie down on them and pick up the controller to play games comfortably.
“This is really enviable.” Lu Yanhe said.
Li Pengfei asked: "Two?"
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
After staying at Li Pengfei's house for a long time, Lu Yanhe went back.
Li Pengfei wanted to keep him playing for a while, but Lu Yanhe was thinking about the "Nineteen Years of Crime" that he hadn't finished yet, and didn't want to play games with Li Pengfei here all day, so he said he had something to do and ate it. Left after lunch.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yanhe started broadcasting on time and continued reading the novel, "Nineteen Years of Crime Records".
As for the "Trajectory of Stars", Lu Yanhe hasn't received a call from Chen Ziyan yet and doesn't know what to do with it.
But if I really want to promote it later, I will definitely continue to read this book in the live broadcast room.
Lu Yanhe felt that no matter what he did, he had to finish reading "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" first.
This novel is really interesting. It tells a murder story that spans nineteen years.
From the beginning of college, to the end, the characters who appear are all middle-aged.
The time span is huge.
Lu Yanhe read for three hours at a stretch. As night fell, he finally finished the book.
It's June now, it's getting dark relatively late, it's only six o'clock.
The ending of this story made Lu Yanhe feel lost and dazed for a while.
When he came to his senses, he thought about taking a look at the barrage room, and found that many people were discussing this book.
——I went to have lunch today and happened to pass by a bookstore. I remember that Lu Yanhe read this book last night, so he went to buy a copy. After dinner, he opened it and read a few pages. The beginning It's creepy and scary.
——Is it scary? I am so afraid of such scary stories that I dare not read them.
——It’s not that scary. It deliberately creates a scary atmosphere at the beginning, but it’s actually not that scary. It’s not a thriller.
——I placed an order online, but it hasn’t arrived yet. I won’t receive it until tomorrow.
——Me too.
——I haven’t read a novel for a long time. I didn’t expect Lu Yanhe to read it in one breath for so long. How beautiful it is.
——He has almost finished reading.
...
Lu Yanhe kept reading everyone's speeches and laughed.
He turned on mute and said: "I just finished reading this novel. The ending is a bit unexpected for me. It's a very interesting story. If you like to read crime-solving mystery novels, you can try it. Try this novel.”
