"This is the love story of the fourth quarter that you strongly recommend?" Closing the manuscript, the president of Woo-jin Publishing House got up and rubbed the sore eyes that had been seen for a long time, and then Said, "Since you think it's good, then go and get in touch with the author at the address written above. Isn't there no record in the contract department? Since you are a newcomer, you should know how to do it in terms of royalties!"
" Yes!" The woman was nodded.
"Then you go, you have to check the sales of this quarter, and you must pay more attention to the promotion!"
"I see, father!"

"Then you go!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and sat back on the sofa, closing his eyes and rested.
The young woman opened the door of the office gently, fearing that her actions would noisy her father, and then closed the door again. She took out her mobile phone only ten meters after leaving the office. Called according to the information left on the manuscript.
After waiting for more than twenty seconds, when she thought there was no one to answer, there was a clear male voice on the phone, which sounded not very old, "Are you Jeon-woo-ssi?" "
"Yes, I am! Who are you?"
"Hello, I am Kwon Yoo-rim of Woo-jin Publishing House, I want to be with you Talk about the contract signing of the manuscript you submitted…"
............ ...…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Kwon Yoo-rim drove to a cafe near SBSTV Station. Although people coming, people going in front of the food stalls in the street, There was no customer in this cafe. The boring shop assistants were all hanging their heads and playing with their phones on their seats.
"ding ding ding~ ..."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and it rang the wind chime at the door, making a pleasant sound, lazy The shop assistants were excited when they heard the sound, and got up together and looked at the people coming.
"Hello, welcome! Are you alone or do you have other friends?" the male clerk stepped forward and asked.
"I and the others!"
Although the time on the phone was 7:15, it was 7:08 now, except for myself in the coffee shop I didn't see other people. Outside the window were to-and-fro pedestrians and lovers. Kwon Yoo-rim kept looking at the pedestrians outside the window, but it was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack to find out who he wanted to meet.
As a member who grew up under the strict education requirements of father, Kwon Yoo-rim usually cares about the concept of punctuality. If a person does even the most basic observance of time If not, then the person's impression of her in mind will decline.
The pointer on the dial is getting closer and closer to a quarter past seven. Kwon Yoo-rim glanced out of the window, raised his hand and glanced at the time, took out the money from his bag and placed it on the table. This is ready to check out and leave.
Suddenly the wind bell at the door "ding ding ding~ ..." rang again, Kwon Yoo-rim lifts the head, and the one who walked slowly into the cafe was with himself A man of the same age, tall and tall, wears a four-pocket short-sleeved vest that is often worn by photographers in TV and movies, and he does not lose his demeanor.
'Sure enough, people are handsome, is it so capricious in clothes? 'Kwon Yoo-rim thought of it this way.
The visitor looked at the room Ne of One Punch Cafe, and walked straight to Kwon Yoo-rim, who was sitting by the window. Before she showed a surprised expression on her face, the man stretched out himself. 'S right hand introduce yourself.
"Hello, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae, you called me in the morning, right?"
"Oh, yes!"
"Introduce, I am Jung Hyuk-jae, my pen name is Jeon-woo, and the name of the novel I wrote is "LoveStoryInHarvard". I often call it "Love Story in Harvard"."
Kwon Yoo-rim looked at Jung Hyuk-jae sitting in front of him. It was obvious that his head was not enough. It was not because of the idiot, but the contrast between the love work and the person in front of him was so cute.
Before making a phone call, she actually agreed that the author of this romance novel must be a woman. Otherwise, she would not be able to describe the characters of the heroes and heroines in the book so delicately, until the call is connected. For a moment, she didn't think her thoughts were shattered.
"Uh…Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi? Would you take the liberty to ask about your occupation?" Kwon Yoo-rim said curiously.
"I am a Screenwriter and Director!" Jung Hyuk-jae replied truthfully, this time in exchange for the surprised look and incredible gaze of the woman in front of him.
"Oh!"
The woman in front of me just sighed. If it wasn't Jung Hyuk-jae who reminded her, she would probably continue to sigh.
"Can I start, please?" Jung Hyuk-jae called for a glass of boiled water and reminded him that he left the Production crew and rushed over. Although there are only the last few shots left today, but one day When filming, Jung Hyuk-jae still felt that he would go back to encourage and reward the staff who had been busy for nearly a month.
"I'm Kwon Yoo-rim from the Marketing Contract Department of Woo-jin Publishing House, I am very happy to see you!" As he said, Kwon Yoo-rim stretched out his smooth and delicate hand and Jung Hyuk-jae Held together.
"Hello!"
"Woo-jin Publishing House believes that your book has a certain publishing potential, and it is suitable for the current reader time, so first Excuse me, is all the copyright of this book in your hands?"
"Yes!" Jung Hyuk-jae replied.
"This is our publishing house's annual outstanding book published over the years. Every year, at least one book will be ranked in the top ten of the national book sales list, and even more!" Kwon Yoo-rim said I got my own company's card code, hoping to attract the other party.
Jung Hyuk-jae is not a rookie who just came out of the house, and he will not be surprised by the long list of honors she said. In fact, he is most concerned about the book's royalties. Jung Hyuk-jae is most concerned about how much royalties the Woo-jin Publishing House in front of him can give himself.
"This is a contract that we printed out. You can take a look first. If you have any questions, you can ask me!" Kwon Yoo-rim took out a contract from the bag and put it In front of Jung Hyuk-jae.
The contract is not thin. It looks like a dozen sheets of paper. The terms through childhood list the problems that Party A and Party B may encounter at any time during the publishing process, with explanations.
Jung Hyuk-jae just flipped through the first few pages of the contract and skipped it. After all, he is not a professional legal person. Even if the publisher wants to trick the contract, he will never Let him find out.
Jung Hyuk-jae turned to the final payment terms of the manuscript fee. A line of small print was clearly copied on the paper. The benefits and things were not as attractive as originally thought^.
For royalties, Woo-jin Publishing House is only willing to pay up to 5%. What Jung Hyuk-jae knows is the average level of publishing house royalties in recent years. Generally speaking, royalties range from 3% to 15%. The royalties for the first book of newly recruited writers are generally speaking are not very high. Gradually, they will gradually increase their royalties due to the improvement of their own level and the increase of readers.
For the 5% royalty price, Woo-jin Publishing House wants to take it from its own hands, which is almost impossible. On the issue of royalties, Jung Hyuk-jae will not consider this issue until the price of 8% is reached at least until Woongjin.
"What is this one?"
Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the content of the contract again,'film and television adaptation rights' what the hell is that?
Not only do you want to lower your royalties, but you also want to take away the right to edit film and television from your own hands. How can there be such good things in this world?
5% of royalties, and I want to take away the film and television adaptation rights together, I have to say that Woo-jin Publishing House wants to be very good!
Kwon Yoo-rim saw that he was fascinated by the contract. After a while, he asked, "Do you have any questions about this contract?"
Jung Hyuk- Jae was not verbose after listening to her, pointing directly to the terms written in the contract and said, "I want 8% royalties, and the'film and television adaptation rights' of the novel must be in my hands. This is my request!"
Kwon Yoo-rim can't help but frown, 8% royalties? Improved three points all at once? And the film and television adaptation rights are not included in it?
"Sorry, I need to call to ask!"
