Neil Gaiman agreed. ”

Wang gradually hung up the phone, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

The development of the website to the present, it can be regarded as entering a bottleneck period.

A large number of young people who have the habit of surfing the Internet and like to read have been attracted to become paying readers of the website.

However, there are still many traditional readers who believe that books should be paper, and reading books online is simply against tradition.

When they mention this site, they simply have all kinds of contempt and disdain.

And Neil Gaiman is a writer with a certain appeal.

His joining should make a certain change in this situation.

Well, it was decided.

Wang gradually picked up the phone and dialed Tom again.

"We're going to have a big signing ceremony for Neil Gaiman. ”

"By the way, invite as many journalists as possible to report the news"

"Would Neil Gaiman agree?" Tom asked rhetorically, "Besides, inviting so many journalists is a big expense." ”

These expenses can be calculated into the marketing expenses of the website. The king groaned for a moment and said, "As for whether he agrees or not, it depends on your eloquence." ”

But what Tom didn't expect was this.

The arrogant Neil Gaiman has always been unhappy with the publisher's disapproval of his next work.

When he learned that he had the opportunity to announce to people that he could publish his work without relying on a publishing house. Moreover, the conditions are far superior to those of the publishing house.

Neil Gaiman said yes without hesitation.

And just like that, a few days later.

In a conference room at a hotel in New York.

As the chairman, Wang Jian signed a licensing agreement with the well-known writer Neil Gaiman for the electronic copyright of "American Gods".

Then, the two of them said some about each other.

And under the temptation of money, most literary newspapers sent reporters to report on the incident.

Neil Gaiman's new work, "American Gods", was also released online quickly became known.

A few days after Tom sent Neil Gaiman and his copyright agent out of New York.

While continuing to rush to the manuscript of "Extreme Heavenly Demon", Wang gradually cared about the various data of the website.

Well, it works well.

Although, the American Gods data is not ideal.

However, the number of followers of other works has generally begun to grow.

In particular, the only two belong to the fantasy category "Extreme Heavenly Demon" with "American Gods", which has added many new readers.

No matter how you look at this ad, it's worth it.

He happily hummed a minor tune and continued to write "Extreme Heavenly Demon".

In stark contrast to Wang's mood, Neil Gaiman is in a gloomy mood.

I thought that as a well-known author, I would be sought after by all kinds as soon as I published a book on the website.

But he looked at the comment section of "American Gods" and became extremely irritable.

"The idea is good, but the protagonist is the weakest of all the characters who appear?

"I thought that the protagonist could beat all kinds of gods in a fancy way. And that's it?"

"It's also a well-known writer, look at "Extreme Heavenly Demons", and then look at "American Gods"?"

......

Neil feels that publishing a book is the biggest difference from being serialized online.

That is, the deep malice that comes from the readers.

The arrogant Neil Gaiman compared the praise of "Extreme Heavenly Demon".

Read the published chapter of American Gods again.

His chest heaved rapidly, as if he was making a difficult decision.

After more than ten seconds, Neil suddenly said to himself: "Anyway, the electronic version and the published novel are not necessarily the same thing." ”

"Writing something like this, I can surpass that young man named Wang Jian. ”

"Isn't it just to let the protagonist have hole cards?

So, he deleted the published chapters.

Then, empty your brain and think about how to write.

A moment later, the online special version of "American Gods" was freshly baked.

The protagonist has also changed from an ordinary person who is involved in a mysterious event to a deity with a split personality.

Among them, the main character of the protagonist is still an ordinary person.

And the other personality became the god of fire.

The god of fire has existed since ancient times, and in modern times, it has evolved into a god of weapons because firearms have become weapons.

As a result, this personality has the dual identity of the old god and the new god, and becomes the strongest god.

Every time he is in danger, the ordinary personality falls into a slumber and the divine personality immediately awakens.

Then, they began to wreak havoc on the audience, using fire, bullets, missiles, and small nuclear bombs against magic, electromagnetism, and other abilities.

And the protagonist has also become the spoiler of the war between the old and new gods.

Neil took a deep breath after revising and uploading some chapters and revising the outline.

Don't say it, it's really cool to write like this.

Even if you don't want to fight with the young man named Wang Yan, this novel can also be written.

In this way, not only can you gain a certain amount of money.

It can also soothe the serious version of "American Gods" that he created, and from time to time he was depressed to death.

In this way, the online version of "American Gods" has become the American variant version of "take an old man with you".

Neil couldn't help but laugh as he sipped his coffee and looked at what he had written.

Stephen King is right, the ideas of the authors on this site are very interesting.

At the same time, the editor-in-chief of Random House House.

The bald editor-in-chief looked at the contract for the release of the first volume of the Arcane Throne that he had just sent someone to find.

While listening, the assistant reported on the situation of the "Internet Special Edition" novel some time ago.

"Amazon doesn't care much about the promotion of books. After using this reason to defraud a large amount of investment, they turned around and began to expand their operations in large quantities. ”

"Amazon doesn't want to be the biggest online bookstore, but wants to be the Walmart and Carrefour online. ”

"Our investment in this is almost a failure. ”

"Aside from Neil Gaiman's joining, what else is there to do with that site?" the editor-in-chief asked.

That Wang gradually began to write his third novel, "The Heavenly Devil of the Extreme Path". On top of that, it seems like they're buying a small publishing house that's on the verge of bankruptcy. ”

"Small publishing house?" the editor-in-chief asked rhetorically.

"Yes. But as far as I know, they're not going to set foot in the publishing world, but they're going to sell physical copies as merchandise like a comic shop. ”

"Around," the editor-in-chief nodded, "Then you'll find a way to get access to all the data on this website." ”

He made a gesture for the assistant to leave.

Then, the editor-in-chief logged in to this website, opened the comment area of "Extreme Heavenly Demon", and watched a large number of readers' comments.

Ten minutes later, he rubbed his eyes and stood in front of the window looking at the scenery in the distance.

He whispered, "What happened in this world?"

ps: One more...

A little diarrhea.
