Ye Kai stood in front of the window of the reception room, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Today's sky is a little hazy, dark clouds block the sun, but it does not affect the singing of the birds in the forest, and some leaves are starting to turn yellow, making autumn even stronger.

"Knock!" someone stood outside the door and knocked on the wooden door.

Ye Kai lowered the teacup and asked, "Hello, are you the editor of Zhou?"

"It's me, I hope I didn't disturb your viewing Yaxing. ”

"There's no such thing. ”

Zhou Kaiwen shook hands with Ye Kai and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so young at all, I have read your masterpiece three times, but I really didn't expect you to be the first to contact us." ”

"Where, where, a little clumsy made Editor Zhou laugh. ”

"You're welcome, sit down and talk and have tea. ”

Zhou Kaiwen's appearance is a typical literati, with gold-wire glasses, meticulously combed hair, and a small beard, and the whole person exudes an elegant atmosphere.

After a few compliments, and then began to talk about business, Zhou Kaiwen said: "Since Mr. Ye wants to publish it directly, why not publish a physical book at the beginning." ”

"The novel wasn't finished when I uploaded it, and I didn't know if it would appeal to readers, so I posted it online to test the waters. ”

In fact, Ye Kai didn't understand the rules of Qichuang, thinking that he could only sign electronic copyrights.

"You see if that's okay. Zhou Kaiwen said. "The fairy sword on the website can no longer be updated, with our publicity, what about your manuscript fee, we can divide it into three for you, depending on your choice. ”

Ye Kai said: "Please speak. ”

"The first is a buyout, the second is based on the standard of 80 per thousand words, and the third is calculated according to the royalty, which is 8% royalty. ”

"As far as I know, the royalties of newcomers are generally around 5% to 8%, although you gave me a high price for newcomers, but the book Fairy Sword has proven itself on the Internet, and the risk you take is not as high as you imagined.

So I think 15% copyright should be more reasonable. ”

When you decide to publish, how can you not understand the market first. Although Ye Kai himself has no friends in this industry, Qiandu Google is so developed, as long as you have the heart, you can find out everything.

Ye Kai's asking price is not high, 15% is the asking price of ordinary old authors.

But in the final analysis, Ye Kai is just a new author, the two discussed for half an hour, and finally both sides took a step back and signed a 12% contract.

Now on the Qichuang Chinese website, the Legend of Sword and Fairy has more than 40,000 collections, some of which are found through Weibo, but more are readers of Qichuang.com.

When the time is ripe, let's tell the readers about the physical book.

Ye Kai saw that it was still early, so he decided to go to Yuelu Academy to have a look.

If there is any place in Changsha where the system rewards can be obtained, then it must be Yuelu Academy.

This academy has a history of 1,000 years, and a large number of historical inscriptions have been preserved, such as the Tang carved "Lushan Temple Tablet", and the Ming carved "Yuelu Academy" stone tablet.

Take the subway from the publishing house, only need to take two stops to Yuelu Academy.

In the passage of the Yuelu Academy subway station, Ye Kai heard someone playing the guzheng, an ancient musical instrument originating in China that has been surprisingly low in recent years.

It has only appeared in martial arts or historical film and television dramas.

The teacher who played the guzheng was a woman who looked to be about forty years old, her figure had not yet been out of shape, wearing a lilac cheongsam, and she was plucking the strings with an intoxicated expression.

On the edge of her seat were two cardboard boxes filled with CDs from twenty years ago, the teacher on the cover, and a sign behind her that the records were free for interest.

But now CDs can only be used for collection, and it is more convenient to use mobile phones to really listen to songs, so there are many onlookers, but it is difficult to send out CDs in cardboard boxes.

Ye Kai picked up a record, and on the cover was a young musician, playing a photo of a guzheng photo, and the back was written with a guzheng song on the record.

Nowadays, Chinese musical instruments are in decline.

Due to the study of a large number of foreign singing genres, most of the instruments used are Western instruments, the singer is such a big stage, how strong the accompaniment team is, but if you want to use Chinese instruments, you have to go to the conservatory of music again.

After listening to it for a long time, Ye Kai bought a bottle of water for the teacher before leaving.

This teacher is different from other singers who sell in subway stations, she is not for money, but purely so that more people can enjoy the sound of the guzheng.

This is admirable.

When I left the subway station, the weather was not beautiful, and it was raining lightly. Ye Kai stood at the door of the subway station and waited for a while, looked at the ticket office not far away, and simply walked over in the rain.

This kind of attraction sells tickets for 50, and Ye Kai personally feels a little expensive, but after entering, he found that this academy is actually very large, and it is not as only a few buildings as Ye Kai imagined.

Such an antique building is Ye Kai's favorite, but the crowds of people coming and going still slightly spoil the atmosphere here. In ancient times, scholars studied here, and the sound of reading aloud was heard every day, but now it can no longer be heard.

Nowadays, it is an affiliated college of Junan University, and it is inhabited by graduate students, doctoral students and other highly educated people. But they don't have the temperament of the ancient scholars.

After turning a corner through the door, you will arrive at the cloister, and now it is raining, and many people stay in the cloister to hide from the rain. Watching raindrops fall from the eaves is also a rare artistic conception.

Ye Kai regretted that he didn't bring the camera over, he really wanted to take pictures of the raindrops falling from the eaves into the dirt.

At the end of the corridor is a grove of leaves falling and sticking to the ground along with the rain, and a man-made river in the middle of the woods, on which a small stone arch bridge has been built.

After crossing the stone arch bridge, it is the main viewing place of the scenic spot, there is a room to introduce the history of the academy, and there is a room where ancient teachers teach and students take classes.

There are all kinds of plaques everywhere in the entire Yuelu Academy, and the words on the plaques also have their own charm, but Ye Kai confidently felt that his words should be better.

The best time to see Yuelu Academy is now. After walking through this building, you can see a large red maple leaf.

When the wind blows, the maple leaves are like fluttering butterflies, slowly falling to the ground, with a different kind of poignant.

The last attraction is the Aiwan Pavilion, which is mentioned in many poems, such as Tang Bohu's I painted the water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the maple leaves on the Aiwan Pavilion.

Walk to the edge of the Aiwan Pavilion, there is a stone tablet that introduces the origin of the name of the Aiwan Pavilion, saying that it comes from the famous song of parking and sitting in the love maple forest evening, and the frost leaves are red in February flowers.

The shape of Aiwan Pavilion is eight pillars of heavy eaves, glazed blue tiles.

The corner of the pavilion on the top is carved with a flying dragon, the head is upturned to the sky, it looks as if it is going to fly away at any time, and the plaque is the three big characters of the love evening pavilion gilt on a red background.

[You have watched Yuelu Academy, and your comprehension of books has improved]

Ye Kai waited for a while.

Gone?

That's it?

Ye Kai can't remember how long he hasn't read a book, it seems that he hasn't read a book since graduating from college?

Otherwise, Ye Kai really couldn't think of what the use of this reward was.

Going out of Yuelu Academy, Ye Kai wandered around Hunan University, and felt bored and went back to the hotel codeword, he now had to write the book that had been conceived.

After thinking of the name, I named it after a list in the book, called Langya Bang.
