"Nanhai Publishing Company compromised and agreed to our 18% royalty rate. ”

Early in the morning, Zhou Kang's WeChat was sent to Zhang Chu's mobile phone, because he knew that Zhang Chu should be in the classroom at this time.

Zhang Chu felt the vibration of the mobile phone, so he quietly took the mobile phone out of the desk, unlocked it with his fingerprint and looked down to check it, typing with one hand felt very bad, and could only answer concisely: "Finally reached an agreement [thumbs up]"

Zhou Kang added: "But they also have a simple request, that is, we can't publicize this incomparably high royalty ratio with the media, and we must keep it secret and not let the rest of the writers know." ”

Generally speaking, one of the inherent publicity routines of a writer to release a new book is for the media to trumpet how high the royalties are and how record-breaking they are.

If you go to the reading or culture section of the major portals, you will know that everyone is still looking forward to this routine.

The 18% royalty is 100% among the top ranks, if it is released, it is estimated that the media and netizens will be surprised that Zhang Chu has broken the ceiling of the industry again!

But now the idea of Nanhai Publishing Company is to make Zhang Chu and Hanlin Culture Media make a lot of money.

In fact, now "In the Name of the People" does not need to expose royalties for publicity, and the film and television adaptation plan announced last night has amazed Zhang Chu's readers, and has successfully expanded from the field of books to the field of entertainment.

"That's fine, but if it's known to the outside world, it doesn't have to be leaked by us. Maybe when the time comes, Nanhai Publishing Company itself will be able to help spread these inside stories through the grapevine in order to sell better. ”

Don't underestimate the heart of businessmen who want to make money!

Zhang Chu pushed the mobile phone back into the desk, and then raised his head seriously, only to find that the middle-aged female teacher on the podium was throwing a stern look, seemingly very dissatisfied.

On the podium, you can clearly see any movement underneath, and these teachers see it in their eyes but rarely open their mouths to remind them, which is much more relaxed than high school and junior high school teachers.

College is really all about self-discipline, and there aren't so many teachers who will take care of you, even at a top university like Yenching University.

Zhang Chu was sitting precariously, holding a pen in his right hand and sketching the key points in the textbook, looking very similar.

What he was thinking about at this time was that he had finally done it, and he received private messages from many readers every day, many of whom were waiting for the physical book "In the Name of the People", but there was no news!

It's already a film and television adaptation, but the physical book has not moved.

Many people are speculating that Zhang Chu will not give up this book, and it has been more than ten days since it was completed.

Under the news of its film and television adaptation, these readers gathered to ask something similar.

"It's going to be a TV series, but I haven't even finished reading the book yet. ”

"It's very convenient to read books on your mobile phone, but you don't have an account at the origin, so you're still waiting for the physical book to be sent. ”

"@张楚@南海出版公司@翰林文化, do you plan to wait until the TV series is filmed before sending out a physical book?"

"The books have been written for a long time, and they can't send a word. If I don't send it, I'll go up and see it!"

"Looks like they're making enough money"

Fortunately, after Nanhai Publishing Company and Hanlin Culture Media reached an agreement on Zhang Chu's royalty ratio, although the contract has not yet been formally signed, the editor of Weibo can't wait to release the news: "Recently, many friends are paying attention to the situation of Mr. Zhang Chu's "In the Name of the People" physical book, the company is currently in intensive preparation, and will meet with you in the near future, please pay attention to this blog for the specific listing time!"

……

"You dare to play with your mobile phone in Teacher Xing's class, I sat next to you and looked at it with a terrible look. Anmi was chatting as she packed up her books.

That's what a good student has never done before.

And Zhang Chu not only played with his mobile phone when he was studying in his previous life, but also slept, chatted and even fought the landlord, so he didn't have any special fear or fear after being stared at twice.

Of course, it's not right to play with your phone in class!

"I'm going to borrow two books from the library now, where are you going?" Zhang Chu is now ready to start preparations for the new book, and the next work to be written is an epic masterpiece, and he wants to have the ability to be worthy of that work.

Sun Ruiqi thought for a while and replied, "Isn't this going to write a review after reading, I'm going to go to the library to write it." I really didn't have the idea of writing in the desk in my bedroom. ”

"I'll go too, but I'll have to buy two pens on the way. Anmi echoed.

Nowadays, many school assignments are typed on the computer and then printed on A4 paper and handed in.

However, Zhang Chu felt that these things had to be written by their own hand, so that they would be more formal, so that they would not forget how to write after a few years of college!

Swipe your card to enter the library, and there are students walking quickly in the spacious and quiet hall, but everyone keeps their footsteps very soft, for fear of disturbing others.

Zhang Chu stood at the book index on the touchscreen, and he typed in the keyword "Norse mythology" to search.

Anmi, who was standing on the side and waiting, was a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly remember to read myths?"

"My new book is going to write about Western fantasy, so I'm looking for this source. I can't say that I want to write fantasy, but I don't know how fantasy came about. ”

"I didn't even know that Norse mythology could have anything to do with fantasy!"

"I don't know much about it, so I have to read books to make up for it. The book I'm looking for is on the fourth floor, what about you?"

"Over there on the sixth floor. Let's find an empty four-seater table after we find the book later, whoever finds it will > Zhang Chu nodded and agreed, sharing a desk with his classmates and friends is obviously much better than strangers!

They took the elevator to leave on the corresponding floor, while Zhang Chu looked among the neat rows of bookshelves, the things he was looking for were very unpopular, and it was estimated that no one would come to borrow them once in a month or two.

When we play fantasy games or watch movies with this theme, we can often find that the background, content and even professional system of these entertainment works are similar.

Melee warriors, sneak assassins, ranged crossbowmen, magical wizards, warlocks, and races like humans, dwarves, orcs, and elves almost all come from the same place, and that's Norse mythology!

Norse mythology is a relatively niche kind in China, and not many people know much about ancient Chinese mythology and ancient Greek mythology.

If it weren't for the Marvel movie "Thor" series in his previous life, the names of Thor, Loki, and Odin probably didn't know what was going on.
