Chapter 114: Negotiate the publication of "The Legend of Wukong" [Ask for Recommendation]
Regarding the filthy words and deeds of the audience in the live broadcast room, Lu Lin said that he really had no choice but to turn off the live broadcast and let the audience calm down, otherwise, I don't know where those male viewers will drive the barrage train.
Afternoon.
Three forty.
After turning off the live broadcast and leaving the café, Lu Lin looked at the time, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Yuan Shan, the editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House.
The reason why Lu Lin is in such a hurry to publish a new book is because of fame, second, to maintain popularity, and thirdly, whether it is money or system fans, these are all what he needs.
As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Lin drove the car and smiled at the other end of the phone: "Hey, hello, is it Editor-in-Chief Yuan?"
"I am, you're Teacher Lu, hello!" Yuan Shan chuckled on the other end of the phone: "I don't know how Teacher Lu thought of calling me today? Could it be that the amount of manuscript fees sent to you yesterday is wrong?"
Lu Lin smiled and hurriedly said, "No, no, there is no mistake in the number of manuscript fees, I have something to find you!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" said Yuan Shan in surprise.
"What else can I do with you, of course it's a matter of publishing!" Lu Lin smiled.
"Publishing?"
Yuan Shan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Could it be that Mr. Lu, are you going to publish a new book again?"
Although Lu Lin has only written one work so far, after this work was published in Deyun Publishing House, it has already made Deyun Publishing House a lot of money, and now Lu Lin said that he is going to publish a second novel, Yuan Shan naturally became interested immediately.
"Yes, a new book, called "The Legend of Wukong", I don't know if you are interested, Editor-in-Chief Yuan?" Lu Lin said with a smile.
"Absolutely. Yuan Shan looked at the time and said with a smile: "That's it, I'm about to get off work, why don't we find a place to talk, I'll invite you to dinner!"
"Okay, that's it!"
Hung up the phone, and the mobile phone also received the hotel address from the other party, Wangfujing Hotel, Lu Lin looked at the time and felt that it was still early, so he turned around and went home to take a simple shower, flushed the stinky sweat on his body, and then drove to find it.
Wangfujing Hotel, as soon as you hear the name, you know, must be opened on Wangfujing Street, and Wangfujing Street as the most famous commercial street in Beijing, it is not an exaggeration to say that the hotel opened here is "daily progress and gold".
It didn't take long for Lu Lin to drive to the door of Wangfujing Hotel.
As soon as he got out of the car, as soon as he entered the front desk area of the hotel, Lu Lin was recognized by a little girl at the front desk, only to see the little girl walk up to Lu Lin and smile: "Teacher Lu, are you here? I'll take you upstairs." ”
Lu Lin smiled: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome. With that, the little girl led Lu Lin to the small box on the second floor.
Knock knock knock......
knocked on the door of the box, and the girl at the front desk pushed the door and walked in with Lu Lin.
As soon as he saw Lu Lin enter the door, Yuan Shan got up and greeted him, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Teacher Lu, meet again!"
"Yes, meet again!" Lu Lin shook hands with Yuan Shan with a smile and said.
Today, Yuan Shan is wearing a black set of deep V-neck professional clothes, a pure white thin shirt is worn inside, and the plump upper body career line almost makes Lu Lin a little unable to open his eyes.
I wear so little, and I'm not afraid of the cold when I go out!
"Editor-in-Chief Yuan, who are these friends next to you?" After shaking hands with Yuan Shan, Lu Lin noticed that there were other people in the box, two men and one woman.
"Oh, these are the editors of our publishing house, Fan Fan, Wutong, and Shen Jiayi. Yuan Shan smiled and introduced Lu Lin one by one.
Shen Jiayi: I'll go, I have a mother's fart that I don't know if to talk about it or not.
Listening to Yuan Shan's introduction, Lu Lin smiled and shook hands with them one by one, even if they knew each other.
After getting acquainted, Lu Lin also sat down, then took out the manuscript of "The Legend of Wukong" from his arms and handed it to Yuan Shan, and said with a smile: "Come, Editor-in-Chief Yuan should take a look at my new book first!"
Taking the manuscript handed over by Lu Lin, Yuan Shan smiled and said, "Let's eat first, and read the manuscript later!"
Hearing Yuan Shan say this, Lu Lin really felt a little hungry, so he was not polite, and after greeting everyone, he started to eat directly.
Here, Yuan Shan looked at Lu Lin eating alone, but he didn't move, but opened the draft of "The Legend of Wukong" and read it.
Is it written about the Monkey King?
As one of the four famous novels in China, "Journey to the West" is also known to women and children on the water blue star, not to mention that "Journey to the West" filmed by CCTV will be broadcast in rotation every summer vacation.
But what else is there to write about?
Yuan Shan is very curious, last time Lu Lin wrote about Zhu Yuanzhang, and this time it was Sun Wukong, the span between these two novels is too big, right?
With such an idea, Yuan Shan opened the first page of "The Legend of Wukong" and began to read it.
"The Legend of Wukong".
Text: Chapter 1.
The four of them walked here, and there was a dense forest in front of them, and there was no road again.
"Wukong, I'm hungry, find something to eat. Tang Seng sat down on the stone and said.
"I'm busy, you won't go find it yourself?...... It's not that there are no legs. Sun Wukong said with a stick.
"What are you busy with?"
"Don't you think this sunset is beautiful?" Sun Wukong said, his eyes still looking at the sky, "I only have to look at this, so that I can insist on walking west every day." ”
"You can look at it as you go, as long as you don't hit the tree. ”
"I don't do anything when I watch the sunset!"
"Sun Wukong, you can't be like this, you can't bully the bald head like this, if you starve him to death, we won't be able to find the West Heaven, we won't be able to find the West Heaven, and the curse on us will never be lifted. Zhu Bajie said.
......
Soon, Yuan Shan roughly watched "The Legend of Wukong".
As the editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing, it goes without saying that Yuan Shan's literary skills are not to be said, but a book with connotation like "The Legend of Wukong" has connotations, even if Yuan Shan's literary skills are good, but if you only read it once, you can't understand it at all.
After all, no matter what, this "The Legend of Wukong" contains the "Legend of Wukong" and Xing Ye's "Journey to the West" in it, in addition to rich feelings, there is a lot of humanity.
If you only read these things once, you will definitely not be able to understand them deeply.
Subsequently, Yuan Shan watched "The Legend of Wukong" for the second time.
After reading it for the second time, Yuan Shan's mind immediately automatically flashed the sentence that Sun Wukong said in "The Legend of Wukong", "I want this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore, I want this land, I can't bury my heart anymore, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, and I want all the Buddhas to disappear!"
This is a Monkey King who stands up to the sky, this is a fearless Monkey King, this is Yuan Shan's feelings after watching "The Legend of Wukong" for the second time.
Subsequently, Yuan Shan thought of the selling point of this book, and I have to say that this is definitely a hot book that can sell well, especially since it also has a lot of laughable, but thought-provoking sentences.
For example: "When asked what is the situation in the world, the Buddha said: Waste!!"
"If Heaven knows my sincerity, let the stone sprout too!"
"The Buddha is in the heart, what do you say it does, it's better to fart!"
"If the heavens crush me, chop the heavens, if the earth detains me, and crushes the earth, I will be born free, who will dare to be high!"
There is also the love between Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy, and the deep love between Zhu Bajie and Chang'e...... And so on, these are the classics of this "The Legend of Wukong".
If "Journey to the West" is a joyful mythological novel, then "The Legend of Wukong" is the real Journey to the West.
Closing the manuscript of "The Legend of Wukong", Yuan Shan took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Lu Lin and said: "Mr. Lu, we plan to buy this book of "The Legend of Wukong" at a guaranteed price of 300 yuan per thousand words, and then divide it into 12% after publication, what do you think?"
The minimum is 300 yuan for 1,000 words, and the publication is 12%, which is more than twice as high as his previous book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
This is already quite high, after all, Lu Lin is the second novel he wrote, if it weren't for the sales of Lu Lin's previous "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", if it wasn't for the prospect of this "The Legend of Wukong", Yuan Shan would not have been able to give Lu Lin this price.
"Okay, no problem. Listening to the price quoted by Yuan Shan, Lu Lin agreed.
In the end, the matter was negotiated, and the meal was almost eaten, Lu Lin stood up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Yuan Shan stood up and shook hands with Lu Lin again, and said: "Happy cooperation, thank you Mr. Lu for your trust in our publishing house, but as for the time of publication, we plan to postpone it to two months later, because the popularity of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has not yet passed, and if we publish "The Legend of Wukong in the Great Words" now, it may affect the sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". ”
Lu Lin smiled and said: "Okay, in terms of publishing, your publishing house can take ideas, I fully believe in the ability of your publishing house." ”
"Then it's decided, and we'll start publishing "The Legend of Wukong" in two months. Yuan Shan liked Lu Lin's pleasure very much, and smiled: "But we will also help you serialize some of it on the Internet in advance, so as to bring more popularity to the publication of "The Legend of Wukong" in two months." ”
Lu Lin blinked and said with a smile: "It's good that your publishing house will handle everything." ”
Yuan Shan nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Mr. Lu for your cooperation!"
"You're welcome, it's mutually beneficial!"
Lu Lin smiled, then said hello to the three editors next to him, and then turned around and left Wangfujing Hotel.
