Chapter 155: Offline Gathering
When he came out of Professor Guo's house, he was still with Guo Le.
The royalty of "Romance of the Gods" is 13%, and the first printing of 100,000 sets, each set is divided into two copies.
After calculating it, you can still get about 1 million after deducting taxes for the first printing.
Guo Nanshan also suggested that when the book was officially released, a book signing session could be held, which could also increase sales.
However, Chen Xiao refused.
How much sales can be increased by a signing?
A thousand?
10,000 copies?
Truth be told, it wasn't worth a day's worth of his time.
Not to mention, if you sign the name for one day, your hand is probably going to be invalidated.
"Chen Xiao, did you not attend our first meeting, let me tell you, the exchange of ideas can really produce sparks, and we are not only a creative organization, but also a mutual aid organization, Kyushu groups support each other, we are not afraid of any works being buried, unless the writing is really bad. ”
Chen Xiao smiled: "Then you want to capture the platform?"
The corners of Guo Le's mouth twitched: "That's not it, the water is too deep, it's still impossible to surpass those great gods simply by virtue of the setting, but at least we have the potential to become gods." ”
Chen Xiao patted Guo Le's shoulder and encouraged: "Come on, try to pull those great gods in, you will be invincible." ”
Guo Le drove Chen Xiao downstairs to a hotel.
"The formal meeting will start tomorrow, and there won't be many people here today, but the rest of us will leave them alone for now, and bring these people to you first. ”
Guo Le got out of the car and sent a message in the mobile phone group, then made a few more calls, and soon two people got down from the hotel.
After saying hello to each other, the two got into the car.
"This is the Bubble Ball, this is the Candle Flame. Guo Le introduced the two people to Chen Xiao, and then pointed to Chen Xiao to these two people: "Chen Xiao, the author of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Romance of the Gods". ”
'Bubble Dragon' and 'Candlelight' are both pen names, which is also a special way of calling Kyushu.
Chen Xiao is too famous, so Guo Le did not use a pen name when he introduced it.
", big guy, finally see the real person, come and shake hands and dip the big guy's temperament. ”
Bubble Bobble wears a pair of glasses, looks quite Sven, who knows that as soon as he speaks, his true nature will be revealed.
In comparison, the candle flame is more depressing.
Chen Xiao's pen name 'Dawn' How could he not know, you must know that it was this pen name that successfully made him waste 10,000 yuan in reward, and the effect that should have not been brought into play.
But thinking about it, Chen Xiao really can't be blamed for this.
He can reward himself by himself, and naturally Chen Xiao can too.
It's just that they just happened to run into each other.
The most helpless part of life is nothing more than this, sometimes a casual action of the big guy is likely to disrupt the careful planning of a small person.
Chen Xiao smiled: "It's okay, everyone is their own people, everyone can eat today's meal casually, anyway, someone has a treat." ”
Guo Le: "......"
It's like you're in for a treat.
The bubble dragon and the candle flame are a lot more relieved, and this big guy seems to be quite approachable.
After some excitement, Guo Le found a cafeteria, and then said domineeringly: "Eat casually today, I'll treat you, haha." ”
However, the buffet restaurant Guo Le found is still very good, not only has a variety of seafood and pulp, but also can order steak barbecue.
Several people slowly integrated into the atmosphere, and Chen Xiao also figured out the situation of the two.
Bubble Bobble is a full-time writer, and the writer level has also reached level 5, and if you go further, you can become a god.
But the most admirable thing about him is his hand speed, the highest record once spent 10 hours a day updating 80,000 words, all of which are written now, and it is a tentacle monster that escapes from it.
You must know that this is writing, not a shameless copy like Chen Xiao.
If Chen Xiao has this hand speed, he can complete the serialization of "Romance of the Gods" from beginning to end in a few days.
As for the candle flame, he is still an amateur writer.
It's just that the creativity he provides just makes up for the modern setting of Kyushu.
In the current setting of Kyushu, everyone discussed a lot of plans at the first meeting, but in the end, they chose the setting of the candle flame.
The setting of Candle is based on reality, but with the addition of fantasy elements, it is more like a monster city.
For example, in a calm city, it is not peaceful.
There are all kinds of demons and monsters hidden in the city, but because of the lack of aura, these demons have a difficult life.
These demons need to survive on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to evade the hunting of demon hunters.
And these demons are also good and bad, just like the witchers.
In addition, after the first Kyushu gathering, everyone also added the two settings of the Demon Court and the Demon Hunting Hall, and then improved a lot of demon types, making this setting even more perfect.
If you want to make it more complete, you need to do it in the middle of the creation.
The process of writing is also a kind of perfection.
Chen Xiao thought it was very interesting to hear, which was very similar to an American drama "Evil Force" that he had watched in his previous life.
In the beginning, the two main characters are constantly hunting evil spirits.
Then upgrade to start hunting all kinds of monsters, including werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters, ......
Then he began to hunt demons, and then began to fight with various angels who would do anything for justice, and finally directly intervened in the war between God and his brother and sister.
It's just a scare to the air, the key two protagonists are still mortals, with a strong protagonist aura, from the beginning to the end, it has always been a near death.
It's just that Hell has been replaced with a Demon Court here.
Chen Xiao said: "In fact, you can consider setting up some monsters that are perfectly hidden in human society, such as the demagogic fox demon, the beautiful zombie doctor, the liposuction monster who opens a fat loss shop, the tireless century-old ghost teacher, and the werewolf who turns into a wolf when the moon is full......"
He talks not only about the settings, but also about the roles played by these monsters, and maybe even good or bad.
Some monsters also have the setting of the ancestor.
The vivid characters, as if Chen Xiao had seen them alive, made people suspect that these strange existences were now hidden by his side.
Hearing the other two's hairs stand on end, they look around left and right, and after discovering that there is no hidden monster waitress, this is a lot more relieved.
"Anything else?" the candle flame sounded fiery.
"Yes, of course there are, such as the resurrected terracotta warriors, the heartless mage who has lived for a thousand years......"
