Chapter 410: There Are So Many People Pretending to Be Forced......
Pang Long felt that he was really quite a little bit back, originally he was an editor at a good publishing house in the city's 'Qingyang Publishing House', and he has been working for almost three years, which belongs to hard work, and Pang Long also has a certain strength, and even this year, the editor-in-chief has repeatedly stated that he will be promoted to editor-in-chief. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, the current editor-in-chief Zhou Xing is already old and is about to retire!
This makes Pang Long feel that he is probably going to work this year, and he is also working harder for this reason, not only that, but now the new book "A Sword" by Luoyang, the super popular author of Xianxia, is also about to be published by their publishing house.
The problem is that the price has been negotiated, according to Luoyang's meaning, you can sign a contract in the next few days, but who would have thought that Luoyang would regret it when it came to the end?
Without signing a contract, another publishing house gave Luoyang a high royalty of up to 15, which is already malicious competition!
As the so-called high price gets, this is also a thing that has no choice!
"Xiao Pang, you're not a newcomer anymore, how can you not understand whether verbal promises are useless?"
Zhao Yang, the editor-in-chief of Qingyang Publishing House, also said angrily: "Don't you know that I have already proposed to the manager that you should be the editor-in-chief? ”
"Editor-in-chief, I'm ......"
Pang Long wanted to explain something on the phone, but was interrupted by Zhao Yang waving his hand: "What's the use of explaining now? Let me ask you, has the contract really been signed on the Luoyang side?"
"I signed it, and I signed it with Dacheng Publishing House, which is a new publishing house. ”
Pang Long said helplessly and angrily: "Luoyang himself said that the highest price will win, and the royalties given by 'Dacheng Publishing House' are too high, and we can't be satisfied at all." ”
"Alas, Xiao Pang, you have to take caution this time. ”
Zhao Yang knew that it was too late to say anything at this time, but he still reminded: "Although I mentioned you as the editor-in-chief this time, several other editors are also staring at this position, if you don't make some achievements in the short term, the possibility of you making up for it after Lao Zhou retires in June will be very small." ”
After hanging up Zhao Yang's phone, Pang Long sat on the sofa in the living room a little helplessly, and Pang Long's daughter-in-law Li Cui asked with some worry: "Pang Long, what's wrong?"
"Alas, this time my editor-in-chief may be out of action again. ”
Saying that Pang Long told his daughter-in-law about the matter, Li Cui said helplessly: "Is it really no fun again?"
"I can't say that there is no drama, as long as I can find a best-selling author and win the publishing rights, there may be a drama before the retirement of Editor-in-Chief Zhou. ”
Pang Long said helplessly.
Li Cui said anxiously: "Then look for it, what are you waiting for?"
Pang Long said bitterly: "You think I don't want to look for it, but this time in Luoyang alone, I have been with him for a year before I can have a friendship to sign him, not to mention other best-selling authors, everyone has their own good publishing houses, why would they come to let me sign?"
"This, this ......"
Suddenly, Li Cui said: "Aren't you classmates with that star, what's your name?" Yes, it's called Lin Yang, you ask him for help." ”
"Lin Yang is a star and a singer, what are you asking me to ask him to help, the interlacing is like a mountain, and some stars in the entertainment industry are just specially invited gunmen to publish books, and the talented people and women you see in the entertainment industry are all nonsense. ”
Pang Long felt that he and his daughter-in-law had no common topic, so he also waved his hand and said, "Sleep!"
......
The next day, Pang Long came to the 'Qingyang Publishing House' early, but as soon as he arrived at the office, someone said: "Yo, Pang Long, his complexion is not very good." ”
Liu Ming is also the editor of 'Qingyang Publishing House', and belongs to the same group of people who joined 'Qingyang Publishing House' as Pang Long, of course, this is not the point, the point is that Liu Ming is also a strong candidate for editor-in-chief.
Especially Liu Ming already felt that he was out of play, after all, even the editor-in-chief recommended Pang Long, coupled with Pang Long's ability level all along, this really has nothing to do with him Liu Ming.
As a result, God is not thin on him!
I didn't expect Pang Long to report that he was going to sign a contract with Luoyang, but in the blink of an eye, Luoyang directly signed a contract with someone else, which is a great opportunity.
If Pang Long hadn't reported it before, it would have been good for the entire publishing house to know about it, and they were ready to congratulate Pang Long, but something suddenly went wrong!
Therefore, if Liu Ming is not good at mocking Pang Long, he will feel sorry for this opportunity.
"Thank you for your concern. ”
Pang Long knew Liu Ming's thoughts at a glance, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this sentence and walked directly towards the office.
"Hehe, don't go so fast, I haven't told you a good news yet, I have finally got the best-selling martial arts writer Wu Xian here, and his new book "Jianghu" will be published by us. ”
Liu Ming smiled and continued to stimulate Pang Long.
"I congratulate you, in addition, Liu Ming, don't be too complacent, don't be too nervous, there are still a few months to go, I am not so easy to lose. ”
Pang Long turned around and threw such a hard word at Liu Ming and left.
"Phew!"
Liu Ming looked at Pang Long's back fiercely and spit out: "It's still a fucking mouth, who can you sign when I see it?"
Today is a constant annoyance for Pang Long, who was stimulated by Liu Ming just now, and the editor-in-chief also called him to the office in the blink of an eye, which is nothing more than to let him fight for a little anger, and he must find a way to sign a best-selling author in the past few months.
"It's easier said than done!"
Pang Long sighed helplessly, now it's mid-February, right away, how can he find a best-selling author in the past few months?
You can't blame the society for your back!
This sentence is really appropriate for Pang Long!
Thinking of this, Pang Long also scolded Luoyang fiercely, this dog day is simply a bastard who doesn't talk much, but it's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.
At this time, Pang Long's phone rang, and it turned out to be Lin Yang!
"What's wrong?Lin Yang, have you returned to Yanjing?"
Pang Long answered the phone and asked with a smile.
"No, where am I going back to Yanjing? I'm downstairs with you, you come out, I'm looking for you something." ”
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Pang Long was drunk: "Are you downstairs in our office?"
Lin Yang smiled: "Yes, come out quickly!"
"Okay, I'll go down right away. ”
Pang Long hung up the phone with some confusion, and then when he walked out of the office building, he saw Lin Yang honking his horn towards him in the distance, he walked over and said speechlessly: "Why are you here?
"Fart, get in the car, I'll talk to you about something. ”
Lin Yang scolded with a smile: "Why don't you tell me if you failed to sign a contract with that Luoyang?"
After getting into the car, Pang Long was surprised: "How do you know about this?"
Lin Yang waved his hand: "Don't care how I know, just tell me what's going on." ”
Pang Long explained and suddenly said: "I know, it must have been the fat man who told you, what is this dead fat man doing?"
"Don't do this, why don't you tell me about this when I ask you. ”
Lin Yang asked towards Pang Long.
Pang Long laughed: "What's the use of telling you, if you were the author, I would definitely tell you, but the problem is that you are not, it is useless to tell you about this." ”
"Who told you I wasn't the author?"
Lin Yang said with a smile: "Don't you know that I am actually an author? It's just that I haven't had time to write a book." ”
"Khan, Lin Yang, don't be kidding. ”
Pang Long 'sweated' and said: "This thing is not funny at all, since you have said this, if you really want to help me, you can see if there are any acquaintances of the author in this cultural circle, who can help me." ”
"I'm not kidding you. ”
Lin Yang said loudly: "I only want to ask you, if a book is published, how long does it take from batch number to publication?"
"It depends on the situation, it will take a month at the earliest, usually two to three months. ”
Pang Long said bitterly: "This is the crux of the matter, because my editor-in-chief is retiring in June, and I must make results before June, which means that I have to sign an author in April at the earliest, and then I can publish the book as soon as possible, and it is too late." ”
"Today is February 12th, and it's still too late. ”
Lin Yang smiled at Pang Long and said, "I said that I would like to write a book recently, but I have one request, that is, for the time being, this name should not be mine." ”
"What?"
Pang Long said: "Lin Yang, you really want to write a book, but don't say what are you for?
"Of course not, it's not popular to raise a vest now, so I just want to have one. ”
Lin Yang thought for a while and said.
So far, Pang Long is still in a state of confusion: "You really want to write a new book, and you want to publish it?" But the question is Lin Yang, it would be better if you used your name, our publishing house can still use your fame to publicize, maybe it can be published, but if you are anonymous, you are a pure newcomer, and it will be difficult to publish it." ”
"I ask you, what kind of books are the easiest to publish right now?"
Lin Yang asked with a smile.
Pang Long thought for a while and said: "Recently, martial arts novels are at a low ebb, especially after the death of the last martial arts master Xue Zhi last year, this martial arts seems to be dying, unless it is a martial arts master like Luoyang, it is difficult to publish martial arts novels, as for science fiction and martial arts, I suggest that Lin Yang you had better write inspirational books." ”
"What? motivational books?"
Lin Yang couldn't cry or laugh: "What's the matter?
"Yes, everyone has been completely collapsed by high housing prices these days, and many young people who have had enthusiasm and dreams will eventually become middle-aged people with stable jobs and mediocre lives after being tempered and destroyed in society. For the sake of the family, if you have children, even if you do a job you don't like, you have to live a stable life. ”
Pang Long nodded and said: "It is precisely because of this that many people are naturally willing to read successful learning, and they are also willing to read inspirational books, as if they think that they can succeed by drinking some chicken soup for the soul, so Lin Yang, I think you can write this." ”
"Don't be kidding, I can't write this kind of chicken soup for the soul. ”
Lin threatened to get back to business: "I will write some manuscripts for you in the next few days, you can read them then, and at the same time, I will upload this manuscript to the major platforms first, so that you can create momentum first." ”
"Huh?
Seeing that Lin Yang was unexpectedly serious, Pang Long also asked.
"It can be regarded as a Journey to the West fan. ”
Lin Yang said: "Didn't that Luoyang become a best-selling author with a copy of "Journey to the West" and "Wukong Returns"? ”
"No, Lin Yang!"
Pang Long was really a little drunk at this time: "You asked me to be quiet, what you said today is a bit confusing to me, and writing a book is not as easy as you think, not to mention that the "Journey to the West" fanfic has been written badly, as for the book "Wukong Returns" is called a classic fandom, no one has surpassed it so far, how can you write this and publish it?"
"Then let's take a look. ”
Lin Yang said to Pang Long: "Anyway, when the time comes, I will upload it on the website, and you can see if it can be published, but there is one thing, no one should tell me about this matter, I will keep it a secret." ”
"No problem!"
Pang Long saw that Lin Yang was so serious and agreed.
Lin Yang has always been not so generous, when those literati scolded him, this Luoyang bore the brunt, Lin Yang remembered that this thing later scolded Lin Yang for nothing, but Lin Yang had been too lazy to take care of him before.
But this doesn't mean that Lin Yang has forgotten!
Not to mention that this product actually cheated Pang Long, since this is the case, then don't say anything, you have to be honest with this goods!
Why use a vest?
Lin Yang first wants to concentrate on developing in the music industry, if the media finds out that he writes books, no matter how good he is, I am afraid that the media will bombard him for not doing his job, not to mention that at that time, it will become Lin Yang bullying Bai Jing.
In that case, let's rely on the vest!
Who still uses a few vests in this life?
And raising a vest also has a sense of achievement, if this Bai Jing doesn't take the initiative to speak out, it's okay, if this thing is criticized at that time, then he will be bullying newcomers, and then Lin Yang will have a hundred ways to tear up this goods.
It's a little exciting to think about!
Just do it, after Lin Yang finished talking to Pang Long, he started to go back to writing books!
The name of the book is naturally "The Legend of Wukong"!
There is no need to mention how awesome this classic novel is, anyway, Lin Yang remembers that countless people who have read novels have used "The Legend of Wukong" to pretend to be forced, how can there be a song sung?
There are so many people who pretend to be forced, so why should they care about him?
Thinking of this song, Lin Yang suddenly remembered, fuck, it's Valentine's Day soon!
When Lin Yang wrote the first chapter of "The Legend of Wukong" in a flash of inspiration, Caicai, as Lin Yang's die-hard fan, was being teased a little bit.
