Chapter 208: Reject the Frogfish

I don't know if it's destined in the dark, tonight's dream is a continuation of last night's dream, in the dream, Zhang Xiaoqiang watched a TV series from the perspective of God, and the name of this TV series is Liao Zhai Zhiwei.

It's just that in the dream, Zhang Xiaoqiang became Ning Caichen, and Nie Xiaoqian was also Su Qing'er, in his previous life, whether it was books or film and television works, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not familiar with the storyline in Liao Zhai Zhiyi, but now it's okay, I will dream of the scene in Liao Zhai Zhiyi every night.

Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that Su Qing'er was helping him, but when he woke up every morning, the scene in the dream felt so real, as if it had just happened.

is not only a Chinese ghost story, but also the plot of Ying Ning, Painted Skin, and Mei Nu, and every time Su Qinger is the heroine of her dreams, he Zhang Xiaoqiang is either a kind-hearted weak scholar, or a male protagonist who is always ridiculed and bullied in order to protect the heroine.

And after each story is dreamed, Su Qing'er will become a modern appearance, wearing modern clothes, wearing modern jewelry, smoking a cigarette with a filter, and saying to him: "Xiaoqiang, I owe you, I will pay it back to you now, I hope you have a good life in this world." ”

Although he had seen the scene of Su Qing'er's tragic death, and although he had dreamed of the deceased for many days, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not feel afraid, because Su Qing'er was his friend, not only was he not afraid, Zhang Xiaoqiang even hoped to chat with Su Qing'er in his dreams for a while.

It's just that Su Qing'er didn't give him this opportunity, Su Qing'er said these words to him, when Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to talk to her more, Su Qing'er would leave with a smile, and when Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to get up and chase after him, he would wake up from his dream.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't understand, what did Su Qing'er mean when he said I owe you you and pay you back now, but then I thought about it and understood, Su Qing'er borrowed 100,000 yuan from him in order to pay off the loan for Su Guangyun!

Three months later, Liao Zhai Zhiyi finished the book, a total of 708,000 words, 507 stories, Zhang Xiaoqiang sorted out the manuscript and sent it to Frogfish, a day passed, Frogfish did not reply, two days passed, Frogfish did not reply, three days passed, there was still no movement.

Seven days later, there was still no news from the frogfish, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little anxious, so he sent a message to the frogfish: "The frogfish is big, have you read my manuscript?"

The frogfish replied quickly, but Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't understand the content of the reply, and the frogfish replied with only a simple question mark.

What does this mean? Zhang Xiaoqiang, the second monk, was puzzled, and asked Frog Fish again: "If you have something to say directly, what is the situation with my manuscript?"

This time the frogfish replied with three exclamation points.

Zhang Xiaoqiang felt crying and laughing: "Editor, what do you mean by always sending punctuation marks, do you give me a dumb obsess?"

Thirty seconds after sending, Frogfish called: "Xiaoqiang, I don't even suspect that you wrote this manuscript." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang was silent.

Frogfish said again: "Great, every story is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I dare to guarantee that you will be popular, you will be popular, your chatting ambitions dare not say that you can exceed the four famous books, but at least you can be on an equal footing with the four famous novels, I will pack a ticket with you, after your book is published, it will cause a frenzy of reading in online literature." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"Of course there is, not only that, your book is sincere, especially the more representative stories in it, such as "Xiao Qian", "Lu Judgment", "Painted Skin", "Xiao Cui", "A Bao", "Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong", these short stories, are simply classics among the classics, popular and endless!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt crying and laughing again, this hat is too big, and it hasn't been published yet, so he will say that the classics among the classics are still popular, Zhang Xiaoqiang really can't afford it.

There are 100,000 Hamlets for 100,000 readers, and the frogfish thinks it is good, it doesn't mean that others will buy it, and the strange Tales of Zhai in his previous life are written in classical Chinese, and his Strange Tales are written in vernacular, which is easy to understand, which is a plus.

And most importantly, the best-selling books in previous lives are not necessarily sought after by readers in this world.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't speak, after the frog fish hesitated, he said in a euphemistic tone: "Xiaoqiang, in fact, I have been reading your book for the past seven days, and on the second day, I pushed this book to Li Hu, that is, Li Hu, the president of our singularity.com, he is very interested in your book, and decided to package you in an all-round way, not only to recommend your book on the website, but also to connect this book with film and television companies, animation companies and publishing houses, so that you can effortlessly maximize your benefits." ...”

didn't wait for the frogfish to finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang had a bad premonition in his heart, because the result of the previous discussion between the two was that Zhang Xiaoqiang's chatting was published at Singularity, and all the copyrights were still in his hands.

However, listening to the meaning of Frogfish's words just now, the singularity website wants to share profits.

The reason why Zhang Xiaoqiang made this judgment is very simple, the website is fully recommended, it also requires a cost, the website is not a nursing home, and it is impossible to do one thing for nothing without any benefit.

Sure enough, then I heard the frogfish say: "I have communicated with Mr. Li, at first he decided to buy out your book at a price of five million, but I think five million is too little, the price of this book is at least more than ten million, and you are also the old author of the website, so I fought for you again, for which I also quarreled with Mr. Li, and even slapped the table, and finally Mr. Li agreed, and decided to buy out your book at a price of 10 million." ”

Then, Frogfish's voice changed: "10 million is not enough, I will fight for you again, hehe, Mr. Li decided to raise the price to 12 million, pay attention, this price is not a buyout, it is a share, and it is also divided into four or six, the website is four, you are six!"

"That is to say, if you agree to sign a contract with Singularity for this book, no matter what the results are, as long as you finish the contract, you will get a huge sum of 12 million, and you will share the income generated by the reader's paid reading!

It's only 700,000 yuan, as long as you sign a contract, you can get 12 million manuscript fees, which is incredible, exciting, and makes you even more red-eyed.

If it were someone else, he might have been eager to agree, but Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't think so, because he was very confident in the book and didn't believe that the income generated by the book in the future would not be more than this price.

However, out of friendly relations with the frogfish, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not refuse directly, but said very tactfully: "The frogfish is big, we didn't talk about it before." ”

Frogfish was very surprised by Zhang Xiaoqiang's refusal: "Xiaoqiang, you must know that it is impossible for you to contact those film and television or animation companies personally. You also know that since Singularity was acquired by Shanda, it has flourished in today's online literature industry, even if China Literature and Hengyue are combined, they are not as strongly recommended as Singularity! Moreover, Shanda has cooperated with some well-known domestic film and television media, Xiaoqiang, listen to my advice, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again! I have already drawn up the contract for you, let's hurry up and go through the contract, and after the contract, you can collect 12 million within three days!"

The more impatient the frogfish is, the more Zhang Xiaoqiang feels that he can't sign it, and the more this is the case, the more Zhang Xiaoqiang feels that this book is strange, far more than this price.

It's just that Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't understand why Frogfish, who was about to leave a few months ago because of Shanda's anger at the author's unequal regulations, has become what it is now.

"The frogfish is big, I still think I'm still signing it, the book sells well, let's divide it fifty-fifty, as for the copyright of the adaptation, I still think it's better to hold it in my own hands. ”

Hearing this, Frogfish suddenly felt a little confused, said you think about it again, and then hung up the phone.
