Chapter 57: The Father of the Pit Son
There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the same person and the original, and Zhang Chu was too unlucky, so he hit the muzzle of the gun directly.
Although there are a large number of fanworks on fiction websites and various forum posts, none of the novels can reach the level of "Sherlock".
The attention of the whole network, the bonus of 500,000 yuan, and the publicity and publication of the Nanhai Publishing House, which seems to have exceeded the treatment of the same works, made the so-called original creators red-eyed.
Most of the authors and readers of mystery novels are young people in their twenties and thirties, and it is when they are in full force that they work hard to write original novels, and they are scolded by readers for their poor sales, and they can't make any money at all, and no one is full-time engaged in speculative fiction writing.
How many works do I have to write for 500,000 RMB to earn?
If it is calculated according to the manuscript fee of 500 words per 1,000 words, it will cost 1 million words!
These word counts may be just an introduction to online novels, but reasoning novels need to be rigorous, and they can't be fast at all.
Mystery novels are probably the most brain-consuming genre, requiring the author to think trickery and logic, and even the atmosphere must be worked on to set it up, and being able to write two or three books a year is even the limit of genius, and most authors can't reach this level.
What's more, not all magazines are so generous with the reasoning of the years, and they come directly to 500 words of 1,000.
In normal times, the manuscript fee is generally 100-200 per thousand words, but this time it is purely because of the sponsorship of Warner Bros. activities.
The money is moving, the top prize in the college entrance examination is forgotten, and he also got a bonus of 500,000 yuan for writing a fanfiction casually, how can the authors of mystery novels swallow this breath?
I'm afraid that even for a writer of Qin Mu's level, it is not easy to earn 500,000 yuan for a book, unless the copyright can be sold, it is too difficult and too difficult to rely on book sales alone!
The manuscript fee for selling 100,000 copies is only 300,000, and mystery novels often sell classics by foreign writers, and it is common for them to break through one million.
……
Zhang Chu was stunned because he didn't expect that he was just going back to his hometown, but as soon as he went online, he became a sieve, and "Sherlock" didn't block other people's roads at all.
"It must be a big tree, these days people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Qin Mu is really too much. ”
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhang Chu put the laptop on his lap, and he began to wonder what he should do, this thing is not enough to let the system hack other people's accounts.
At this time, Zhang Chu didn't react, Zhang Bowen angrily sent a voice message in WeChat, "This Qin Mu is too much, your "Detective Sherlock" should be regarded as the pinnacle of the same works, he actually said that you have no talent for reasoning, I will return all his works in the bookstore when I go back, we won't sell them!"
"Don't, Dad, don't get along with business. Zhang Chu hurriedly persuaded, "Others say that I can't write an original novel?
Zhang Bowen said, "Don't say it, he can still be ranked in our domestic reasoning circle." ”
""Sherlock" is not bad if he says it's not good, I have an excellent work certified by more than a million netizens. ”
"Anyway, your mother and I both believe that you are talented, come on, son. ”
Wait a minute!
After Zhang Chu heard this voice message, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, what are you doing with your own cheers?
He hurriedly turned on the video chat function of WeChat and wanted to ask seriously.
The chime echoed repeatedly, and it was only after half a minute that it was connected.
On the mobile phone screen, Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan sat together, looking at the camera with a smile on their faces, their eyes full of love.
"Dad, what the hell are you doing?"
As soon as Zhang Chu looked at the expressions of his parents, he knew that the two must have made a mistake, and their smiling expressions were too fake.
"Forehead......" Zhang Bowen's eyes rolled around, he touched his chin, and replied, "I just accepted an interview with reporters." ”
"What interview?"
Zhang Chu's attention has gradually decreased, but he didn't expect to be criticized by Qin Mu like this, and his reputation has risen a lot, although he has not been able to make up for the previous consumption, but it is just around the corner to return to million.
Chu Lan exhaled, and she said simply: "It's not that your father wants to save face and suffer from it, people say that your works are not good, and that you rely on borrowing from the original works, so he talked to the reporter about it, what is my son is the best mystery writer even if he doesn't write fandom." By the way, this is an interview with Xinlang Education, and it is estimated that it will have a great influence, right?"
Everyone else is a pit father, why does it become a daddy's pit son when it's his turn?
Zhang Chu looked at the sky gloomily, "Dad, what else did you say?"
"It's gone, it's gone. Zhang Bowen waved his hand again and again, he originally wanted to go back by himself, but unfortunately he lacked confidence, so he could only push his son out.
"Actually, Qin Mu is right, I'm really not a qualified author of mystery novels. Zhang Chu said sincerely, "Otherwise, let's quickly contact Xinlang Education and ask them not to post news?
Zhang Bowen glared at his son, "Don't make trouble, you are still unqualified?" Obviously written so well, proper modesty is a good thing, but excessive modesty is what, you know." ”
Zhang Chu suddenly had a feeling of internal injury, he really only had a handful of mystery novels he had read, and he still didn't know what genres of mystery novels there were, and which of the most famous writers were confused.
I know my own business, Zhang Chu knows that I am definitely not a qualified author of mystery novels, I am just a text porter......
He originally wanted to wait for "Sherlock" to be published, and then he would transform into writing some popular works.
"Son, you write well in your hometown and fight for your father. We can't compare to him in writing novels, but the children we can give birth to are much more powerful than him!"
Zhang Bowen encouraged, he trusts his son who is the top student in the college entrance examination.
Chu Lan on the side was not happy, "It's just a novel, do you need to be so modest? You write well, come back when you write it, and stay in your hometown if you don't write it well." ”
Although this is a joke, Zhang Chu still has a feeling of being betrayed by his parents.
"Don't think about it so complicated, maybe the reporter doesn't care what you say, after all, I'm the focus of the interview. Zhang Chu said comfortingly, he didn't know the turbulent waves of the outside world at all.
"Why do I feel like you have something in it?"
Zhang Bowen held his chin and thought about it, always feeling that this was not a good thing.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you still there, why can't I hear you anymore?" Zhang Chu deliberately shook his phone, pretending to be looking for a signal, "Is the WiFi broken?"
After saying that, he cut off the video chat, he slapped his forehead suddenly, Dad is really going to find something to do for himself.
The mouth said no, but the body was very honest, Zhang Chu's favorite thing was this type of event, and the prestige value was slowly accumulated little by little.
It is better to believe that the reporter has a temperament, than to believe that the sow will go to the tree!
