As Xu Hao guessed, the leaders of Nanhai Publishing Company gritted their teeth and swallowed blood in their stomachs one by one.

The biggest joke in the publishing industry is this, guarding Baoshan but returning empty-handed!

Originally, when they signed Zhang Chu, a popular star, they were envied by other publishing houses, after all, the film and television rights of "Sherlock" and "Psychological Crime" were sold in full swing, and "Youth Pi" was also not simple.

Just when everyone thought that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was no exception and would be launched by Nanhai Publishing Company, Changjiang Art Publishing House stepped in and directly snatched this series of works!

Now after seeing Zhang Chu's sales in the first three days, the entire office of Nanhai Publishing Company has become a low pressure, and the employees dare not come out one by one, for fear of getting into trouble.

"If only we had relaxed the conditions a little bit, Zhang Chu would not have changed to other publishing houses. ”

Gu Xinxue is very sorry in his heart, at present, it seems that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" may sell more than one million in the first week, if this book is operated under his own hands, this is definitely a trump card qualification!

When Zhang Chu wanted to write this book, he was the first to send a message to Gu Xinxue, but in terms of royalty ratio and prepaid remuneration, an editor like him did not have much say power.

The sky-high royalties that can be given by Changjiang Art Publishing House, but the leaders of their own company thought that Zhang Chu had no other choice, so they insisted on not letting go!

Don't look at the difference, but as long as the book sells more, the difference in manuscript fees may be millions of yuan.

The leaders who made the decision did not think of using the manuscript fees of Zhang Chu's previous works as a threat, and Gu Xinxue had a colleague who proposed that the company block his monthly manuscript fee to force Zhang Chu to surrender.

After all, if Zhang Chu's previous four books are combined, he can still have an income of millions every month, which is not a small amount!

Gu Xinxue shook his head secretly in his heart, "This approach has no effect at all except for pushing Zhang Chu further. ”

Now that the sales of books are clear at a glance, it is difficult for both the publishing company and the bookstore to make fake accounts, and once the matter of blocking the author's manuscript fee is exposed, it will be a shocking scandal!

It's easy to keep those wavering authors away, many people write books for the manuscript fee, you can card Zhang Chu's manuscript fee today, then tomorrow you may be stuck on your head.

What's more, everyone knows Zhang Chu's character of preferring jade to pieces rather than pieces, and it is impossible for him to swallow his anger, maybe people will sue the court directly and ask for his own salary!

When the time comes, you will lose face and lose your heart, which is completely unnecessary.

Fortunately, the company is not full of straw bales, and there are still people who can see things clearly, even if Zhang Chu does not continue to cooperate with them now, he can make a lot of money just by relying on the previous four books.

BB has already released the broadcast time for "Sherlock", and if the quality is good after the broadcast, that one will sell much more than the original cumulative sales.

The same is true for "Psychological Crime", there are movies and TV series, and they are also produced by reliable film and television companies, so you have to eat the old book for a long time.

Gu Xinxue didn't want to have a bad relationship with Zhang Chu, he was still discovering Zhang Chu's Bole, and this name was very useful whether it was in his own company or changing jobs.

He also bought a physical copy of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" in private, but he didn't tell the rest of the people in the company.

More than 200,000 words are read quickly, and now when he goes to work, he clicks on Douban to read and wants to see how the readers of this book evaluate, anyway, he himself is quite comfortable to read, and it is worthy of being a million-dollar work!

On Douban Reading, more than 20,000 people have scored and evaluated the work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Essence of the Ancient City".

This is already quite a hot scene for a work that has only been on the market for a long time.

"Points, about the same as I estimated. Gu Xinxue nodded, saying that this book is perfect, of course it is unrealistic, if it is really a full score, it must be too good.

This score is very reasonable, and it can be seen that readers are more rational, and they do not blindly brush five stars, nor blindly give one star.

The comment of a friend named "Xuanyuan Baigui" won Gu Xinxue's approval, and he wrote:

[The story is quite amazingly written, making people can't let go of it, can't stop, and has a strong coherence. In the process of reading the book, I admired Zhang Chu vigorously, even if the story is apocryphal, it needs the author to justify himself, not to mention the feng shui knowledge mentioned in the book, such as the heavenly and earthly branches, astrological gossip, rivers and mountains, these seem to be embedded in his mind, and lined up, just waiting for him to use it easily.

This requires a large amount of complex knowledge accumulation, and it can also be absorbed for one's own use, which is quite a bit of an anthropologist's pastoral investigation.

As the author said through the protagonist Hu Bayi, tomb robbery is a technical work, and there is a way to steal, tomb robbery is to let some old things hidden in the deep mountains and old forests see the light of day, is the creation of virtue.

Of course, this should not be Zhang Chu's main purpose, to encourage everyone to go out of the city, out of the house, into the deep mountains and old forests, the Gobi Desert, and explore the ancient tombs that were destroyed thousands of years ago.

The words are strange, the story is thrilling, it is shown in Zhang Chu's eloquent storytelling, it is full of fun, the image is realistic, it seems that there is really a group of tomb robbers exploring in the deep mountains and old forests, and experiencing the excitement of approaching death!

Another friend named Mu also gave five stars, he believes that this book has triggered a new genre in the network, Zhang Chu shows the thrilling journey of Captain Touching Gold with a deep traditional foundation, the pen is humorous, the plot twists and turns, and even asserts that it will not be worse than Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen!

The ancient rules of the tomb robbery industry are written in the book, and they are even divided into sects, but in fact, these things are all made up by Zhang Chu himself, and they do not exist at all.

In addition to these tomb robbing sects and techniques, all kinds of strange things are also impressive. The exquisite queen made a coffin with a thousand-year-old Kunlun sacred wood, with a strange flower corpse incense konjac on it, and anyone who approached it would hallucinate. There are also strange creatures such as the human-faced black guinea beetle guarding the ancient city mausoleum, and the nine-story demon tower is extraordinary.

Zhang Chu's specious way of writing, drawing on ancient Chinese wild history, legends and modern anecdotes, is quite unique, confusing the real and the unreal, causing a huge impact on the reader, and also has a wave on the study and creation.

He clearly didn't want to write a textbook on history and archaeology, but rather pursued an imagination that existed wonderfully in the real world!]

Gu Xinxue slid the mouse, he gave a thumbs up to these comments, although it was not his own work, but he also witnessed its birth from scratch.
