12. Newspaper serialization (II)

Holding "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Liu Yuan's mind was full of thoughts.

It is said that Zhou Aiguo's conditions are really good, and the real estate developers are the masters these years, and the advertising expenses they invest in paper books and periodicals every year are definitely a key part of the income of these newspapers and magazines.

He really felt lucky that this pie could hit Liu Yuanyuan, not to mention that what Zhou Aiguo begged him to do, he also felt that it was an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help but lower his head and look at the novel in his hand.

Although he has only read tens of thousands of words in this novel, the creativity between the lines has really attracted his attention, he never thought that the tomb robbery would be so interesting to write, so fascinating, as if there is a kind of magic that attracts you, let you continue to read, such a good novel, in Liu Yuan's opinion, it is not so difficult to get published, Zhou Aiguo handed it over to himself, most likely for convenience.

But for some reason, Liu Yuan always had a kind of unwillingness in his heart, and seemed to feel that it would be a considerable loss for him to hand over this novel to the publishing house like this.

Soon Liu Yuan figured out the reason.

If you want to maximize your own profit with this novel, then the best way is not to publish it, but to serialize it in a newspaper!!

At that time, "Ming Pao" was well-known in Xiangjiang Nanyang because of Mr. Jin's martial arts novels, and its sales were even more unparalleled for a while, but later there was a fault in this aspect of the work, coupled with the lack of attention from mainland newspapers, which led to the continuous decline of the status of serialized novels in newspapers and periodicals, and it is even rare to see them today.

But what if another wonderful work comes along?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan's heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, as if he felt an unprecedented opportunity beckoning to him again.

"Editor Liu, what do you think of my mention?" Zhou Aiguo, who was on the other side, looked at Liu Yuan and suddenly became silent, and couldn't help but ask again.

This sentence also brought Liu Yuan back to reality, obviously if you want to go through this road, you have to persuade the big boss in front of you.

"Mr. Zhou, the conditions you promised are very good, I am very moved, but in the face of such an excellent work, I think it is far from enough to publish it. After organizing the language, Liu Yuan decided to fight for the greater good for himself.

"Tell me about it. When Zhou Aiguo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"If a publishing house wants to publish a work, it needs to go through layers of review, even if I recommend it, these steps are indispensable, especially this novel also involves the theme of 'tomb robbery', although the state does not clearly stipulate it, but after all, this activity is illegal, there is a suspicion of instigation, and it is very likely to be stuck after approval, but if it is serialized in our newspaper, it is different. In the end, Liu Yuan finally tried to see the dagger.

"Newspaper serialization?" Zhou Aiguo's eyes suddenly stared at Liu Yuan, and the latter had straight hair, as if he had been seen through his heart, but when he thought of the infinitely bright future in the future, Liu Yuan still barely calmed down and continued to explain.

"I'm not saying to give up the road of publishing, after all, the publication of the novel is the right way, but during the approval of the publishing house, it can be serialized in the newspaper, first, the review of the article in the newspaper can be completed internally, and we can get the manuscript today, and we can see it in the newspaper tomorrow, and secondly, we can build momentum for the novel before publication, as long as the response is good, I believe that the publishing bureau will also take this factor into account." ”

Zhou Aiguo, who Liu Yuan said this, also frowned slightly, and Liu Yuan, who was looking at it, was worried that he would be rejected by Zhou Aiguo.

After a moment, Zhou Aiguo stood up.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call. Saying that, Zhou Aiguo walked into the lounge on the side, leaving Liu Yuan alone outside to wait for the results.

Walking into the lounge, Zhou Aiguo immediately dialed Nie Wei's phone, told Nie Wei about Liu Yuan's thoughts, and then let him make his own decision.

After Nie Wei on the other end of the phone heard Zhou Aiguo's words, he frowned and thought about it, and soon became happy.

Because he had already heard the true purpose of the editor Liu from these words, but this was just as Nie Wei wished, there was still a lack of a formal propaganda platform in these years, and newspaper serialization may not be a good method.

What's more, this is still proposed by Liu Yuan, so if you hand over the novel to the other party, the editor will do her best to promote this work.

"Uncle Zhou, promise him, the conditions are arbitrary, the only requirement is to see the newspaper as much as possible, and the publicity must be in place. Since Nie Wei wanted to understand the other party's thoughts, he naturally made a decision quickly.

"Got it, I'll try to help you get the best in terms of conditions. Zhou Aiguo agreed with a smile.

Zhou Aiguo's call didn't take long, it was only five minutes, but these five minutes were quite painful for Liu Yuan, and the mood of suffering from gains and losses made Liu Yuan restless, on the one hand, he was afraid that Zhou Aiguo would refuse, and he was even more afraid that Zhou Aiguo was dissatisfied with himself because of this, and even the initial promise would be withdrawn.

Fortunately, Zhou Aiguo didn't let him suffer for too long, and gave a positive answer after walking out of the lounge.

Holding the nearly 250,000-word novel of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and the first "Exquisite Ancient City", Liu Yuan walked out of the door of the company in a trance, and it was not until the cold wind of late autumn blew him shivering for a while that he gradually came back to his senses.

With sobriety, the excitement in Liu Yuan's heart could no longer be suppressed, and he swung a few punches at the air in front of him fiercely under the excitement, even if his arm hurt, it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.

Liu Yuan's strange behavior naturally attracted the sideways of the pedestrians around him, but the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, who usually pays the most attention to grooming, didn't care about the eyes of others at the moment, because he knew that the turning point in his life might be coming soon.

He has already appreciated the charm of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is an intoxicating charm, such a good book, as long as it is well publicized, it is destined to make the newspaper that serializes it also advance by leaps and bounds, although it may not be able to reach the point of Ming Pao back then, but let Yanshan Wenbao go into the next end is nine out of ten.

When the time comes, will I be able to move my position as deputy editor-in-chief again?

Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Yuan's face couldn't help but become brighter.

"Return to the Society!!" exhaled a big breath to calm down the excitement in his heart, Liu Yuan's first thought was to return to the newspaper immediately, because he couldn't wait to enjoy the fruits of this victory.

Not to mention how Liu Yuan will prepare his big plan after returning to the newspaper, Nie Wei just signed the contract sent by Zhou Aiguo and stopped thinking about the novel for the time being, because the crew had already sent a notice that the first crew gathering would come in three days.

(Thanks to the encouragement of a few friends in the book review area, if I can sign a contract smoothly, I will definitely insist on writing.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
