After a week of classes peacefully, without anyone disturbing him, Zhang Chu felt as if he was exactly like an ordinary student, but he didn't live in the dormitory at night.

The class group showed that no one gave him special preferential treatment in the activities of the Mountain Eagle Club, no matter how famous he was outside, in the final analysis, he was just a student.

During this time, Zhang Chu didn't write a word, his was finished, and there was no need to catch up.

It took a lot of effort to write "Life of Pi" in a short period of time, but in fact, it was almost like re-translating it, and in a sense, it was his work.

Life doesn't need to be so urgent, it's easy now.

Shuttling around the campus, Zhang Chu was very grateful for this so-called savior system, he only hoped that this was not a matrix world like the Matrix Empire.

The campus orientation party will be sung tonight, but unfortunately Zhang Chu has no talent in this area, so he can only sit in the audience with his dormitory brothers as a loyal audience.

The students of Yan University are all versatile, erhu playing and singing, pipa solo, folk dance, and even cross talk and drama!

The audience was very applauded, and each show contributed its own applause.

In the noisy music, Zhang Chu didn't notice that his mobile phone vibrated at all, and it wasn't until the end of the show that he found that there were several missed calls and QQ messages.

At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and he did not reply directly to Gu Xinxue's call, but went directly to QQ to reply, wondering if his editor was in a hurry.

"Editor Gu, I was attending the welcome party just now, and I didn't pay attention to my phone. Are you looking for me?"

Gu Xinxue over there soon received Zhang Chu's message, and he sent a smiling expression, "It's not a big deal to find you, I just want to talk to you about "Youth Pi". ”

Zhang Chu typed on the screen of his mobile phone as he walked, "What's wrong with 'Life of Pi'?

"Of course I don't have the inside information, I just thought the book was wonderful and wanted to sign it off. ”

Gu Xinxue stated his purpose, Nanhai Publishing Company is a purely commercial organization, not a charity!

Now "Youth Pi" is not a little popular, this work is talked about everywhere on the Internet, and Zhang Chuguang can earn more than one million yuan by virtue of this paid reading during the publicity period.

You can imagine how attractive it is!

In fact, according to the requirements of the essay contest, the publisher cannot sign any agreement with the contestants before the results are out.

But there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.

Every year, all the outstanding seeds found the owner before the award ceremony, and it was officially announced after the award ceremony!

Now that all the participating novels are under the rule of "Life of Pi", Nanhai Publishing Company also has a certain advantage.

Zhang Chu's three works have been cooperated with them before, and after having a foundation for cooperation, of course, it is easier to speak.

"Editor Gu, now you have to find Zhou Kang for the matter of signing the publishing agreement, and now he is responsible for acting as an agent for all my copyrights. ”

is as good as Zhang Chu, who doesn't know that the other party actually wants to play the favor card and wants to sign "Youth Pi" at a slightly lower price.

But after all, this is a commercial transaction, and Zhou Kang suggested using "Journey to the West Diary" as a bargaining chip to increase the royalty ratio, but Zhang Chu did not agree, even if he paid off the favor.

Now it is impossible for "Youth Pi" to be handed over so easily, this is a work that established Zhang Chu's status, and Zhou Kang has repeatedly instructed him!

Gu Xinxue sighed, I'm afraid that the negotiation with Zhou Kang will not be so easy, it seems that heavy bleeding is inevitable.

"Your book "Life of Pi" has a lot of hope of winning the award, but it does not rule out that the judges are more conservative, after all, the whole story takes place abroad, and everyone does not study the three religions deeply, and the belief may be discounted. ”

Zhang Chu complained helplessly: "If I write a Chinese person, I can't explain how I sold the zoo and went to Canada, and the most important thing is that the possible cruel plot in the end is afraid that some people say that I am smearing the image of Chinese." ”

Although China has had a tradition of eating children since ancient times, and there are many cases of eating the same kind and surviving, if you write it yourself, I am afraid that those moral guardians and keyboard warriors will rush up and drown themselves!

How good it is to write about foreign countries, it seems that this Indian identity does not cause people any reading problems.

Of course, Gu Xinxue also knows that Zhang Chu's caution is very reasonable, and the current Internet has too high requirements for literary works.

If it's just a few scolding or criticism on the Internet, that's fine.

But there are always some people who are so idle that if they go to report it, it will take a long time to be deleted or blocked!

There are not a few such people!

"Okay, I'll ask Zhou Kang tomorrow. I hope we can continue to work together. ”

"Of course, it's still a pleasure to work with you, except that you tricked me into signing hundreds of books!" Zhang Chu said teasingly, the hundreds of copies of "Journey to the West Diary" he signed at the beginning have not yet been released.

"It's just a few hundred copies, and other writers sign thousands of copies, and you have to practice again. ”

Zhang Chu knows the truth that scarcity is precious, and if there are too many signed books, they will not be very precious.

After Gu Xinxue typed a string of words, his avatar went gray.

Zhang Chu also slowly walked out of the campus of Yan University, and he didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, after all, his first three books were still on the side of Nanhai Publishing Company.

In case the negotiations between the two sides break down, the previous manuscript fee will definitely not be so easy to get!

Is a publishing company that does not owe writers a fee still called a publishing company?

Nanhai Publishing Company doesn't want to pay more profits, and Zhang Chu will definitely not agree, obviously showing that the sales of "Youth Pi" are better than his previous books.

What's more, now Zhang Chu is not the only choice, Menglong Culture Media has a familiar publisher who is willing to spend more money to buy the distribution rights of Chinese Simplified.

At the beginning, "Sherlock" couldn't be chosen, there was only such one!

Today's Zhang Chu has a wider popularity and confidence, and "Youth Pi" is also a masterpiece recognized by many publishing institutions and Internet readers.

"Whew, don't think too much, leave it to Uncle Zhou. ”

Zhang Chu didn't want to get caught up in these commercial incidents himself, which is why he hired a literary agent, that is, an agent.

If you want to do everything, why give 10% of the profits to the brokerage company?

The conversation with Gu Xinxue just now reminded him that the gun shot the first bird, and now that "Youth Pi" is so popular on the Internet, he may hit the muzzle of the gun at any time.

You have to take precautions!
