However, even if Zhang Chu reminded him on Weibo, it didn't help, and many people found that buying physical books online could only be carried out after the New Year's express delivery restarted work, so they simply targeted physical bookstores.

Not everyone can receive this reminder, so it still sells a lot in major bookstores across the country, and even Zhang Chu's own Hanlinxuan bookstore has a huge harvest.

Now the most tired in addition to the publishing house and the online bookstore, there is another person, that is Zhou Kang.

This middle-aged man who has been transferred from editor to agent is already speechless to Zhang Chu, can he still live a quiet New Year comfortably?

originally thought that the hit of "Sherlock" would cause a sales frenzy, but now at the beginning of the New Year, these moths were tossed, and it was not his agent who swept the tail in the end.

Zhou Kang is painful and happy, this little thing seems to many people to be a little stupid and cute, but it also proves the appeal of the name Zhang Chu!

Just announcing a title can make "Sou Shen Ji" on Amazon's Kindle e-book free list, which is also a bit more mobilizing.

If the version that really belongs to Zhang Chu is released, the sales will definitely not be ugly.

After finally drinking with relatives and friends, Zhou Kang stood on the balcony smoking with a smell of alcohol, and he dialed Zhang Chu's phone to ask what the specific situation was.

After all, he still learned the name of this new book from the Internet, and his agent is really not very competent!

……

Zhang Chu's first sentence on the phone was: "Uncle Zhou, Happy New Year!"

At this time, Zhang Chu, who had just gotten up and started to code words, had a lot of results, and he wrote a wedge of more than 3,000 words, which was very efficient.

Zhou Kang on the other side of the phone shook his head and said: "I'm quite unhappy this New Year, and the phone was almost scolded by the leader for crashing, fortunately those dealers didn't get my number, otherwise it would be even worse." ”

"Well, in this case, turn off your phone or put it into Do Not Disturb mode. Zhang Chu suggested it very intimately, but he didn't expect that it was because of his own reasons that the workload of others increased greatly.

"Let's talk about you, is the new book really going to be called "Sou Shen Ji"?"

"Yes, that's the name, the outline and the name have been decided. ”

Zhou Kang reminded very tactfully: "This is the same name as another "Sou Shen Ji", and readers are also prone to make mistakes when buying, otherwise they will change their name." For example, Sou Shen Biography and the like. ”

Zhang Chu understood the other party's meaning in his heart, but he retorted: "I think the three words Sou Shen Ji are more compatible with my content." In any case, copyright law does not prohibit two books from having the same name. ”

Even if he could find the full text of "Sou Shen Ji" and "Savage Ji" from the system, he would not be able to know the author's real idea of naming the wild fox under the tree at that time.

Zhou Kang's question can't be answered at all, not to mention that after changing the name of this book, Zhang Chu himself feels awkward!

"Okay, it's called "Sou Shen Ji". How many words are you going to write in this book, what are you going to look like?"

This is what the agent should consider, Zhou Kang must solve these things in advance, and he can't keep delaying it.

Of course, this is also what Zhang Chu needs his agent to do, he just needs to write a book with peace of mind, how to make this book more readers see, that is the agent's business.

So Zhang Chu thought about it seriously and then said: "My thinking is a bit grand, thinking about writing a huge wild world, I may write another book after Sou Shen Ji, and Sou Shen Ji itself is estimated to have about 1.5 million words......

Zhou Kang really had a headache, and he reminded him: "Have you forgotten the ghost blowing lantern on the shore of Daming Lake? Can this book be written in 1.5 million words at once? Not to mention the second part of Sou Shen Ji. ”

"That's what I'm worried about, and if I publish it slowly, I won't be able to do it, and I'll have trouble handing it over to a magazine. A semi-monthly magazine can publish tens of thousands of words at most, and it can't send tens of thousands of words in a month, the efficiency is too slow! If it is serialized on the Internet, I don't know if it is beneficial to the follow-up copyright, not to mention that I still have a hole in the origin Chinese network that has not been filled. ”

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was the first to be serialized on the Internet, and then a gao tide was used to make the physical book go on the market, tempting readers to run from the Internet to buy the physical book.

At present, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has been stopped for more than two months, and only the content of the first part has been finished, and there are still seven more to be updated.

Under such circumstances, if Zhang Chu goes to open another new book, it is estimated that he will be chased and scolded as a "dead eunuch" in the book review area!

Zhou Kang understood what Zhang Chu meant, "Do you want the kind of way that updates are more frequent, but have a wide influence?"

"Yes, yes, yes, for example, if I post 4,000 words a day, I actually write 8,000 words or 12,000 words. Wouldn't it be a surprise that I wrote the whole book when everyone was reading it with relish?"

"Can you write 12,000 words a day?" Zhou Kang ignored the rest of the content in that sentence, and grasped the point very accurately!

Zhang Chu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Basically, I can now code words at a speed of three thousand words per hour, and ten thousand or two is only four hours." The rest of the time is used to prepare a detailed outline, prepare a detailed outline of each story unit, etc., and write so many words if there is no accident in a day, after all, this kind of fantasy work does not need to be so calculating and picking words as "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". ”

This is still Zhang Chu's conservative estimate, if he is used to writing fantasy and fantasy fighting, then the speed can be faster, after all, he has not modified "Sou Shen Ji" much, and most of the stories follow the original work.

If he copied it word for word, Zhang Chu felt that he could come up with 30,000 or 50,000 words a day!

According to the mode of writing today, there must be a beginning and a turning within 30,000 words, and there must be a gao tide, and then leave a suspense to pave the way for the later text, and this small gao tide gathers to form a big gao tide, so that the reader will feel very comfortable and have a refreshing feeling.

"I'll try to find a serialization method that meets your requirements, you write first, don't worry too much about how many words can be updated every day, quality is the most important thing. ”

Zhou Kang admonished, "If you really can't write it, don't force yourself, you can take a proper rest and relax, or write the plot outline behind "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to change your thinking." But don't string the contents of the two books together, if Wang Kaixuan or Hu Bayi appear in Sou Shen Ji, it will be a joke. ”

"It's definitely not going to happen.,I'll check it myself.,And then I can find someone to do proofreading when it's serialized!"
