There are too many determinants and distractions of whether a work can succeed, market audience, acceptance, publicity efforts, distribution channels, ...... Even though Mu Ming knew that "Soul Ferry" would be a success after four years, and even though "Soul Ferry" was currently receiving a good response on Weibo, he was still not sure that the book would be a success.

So Mu Ming was quite puzzled why Lin Caiwen was so confident in his works and dared to invest such a large upfront cost.

Lin Caiwen heard Mu Ming's question and said with a smile: "The cost in the early stage is indeed higher, but how much input can have as much output." These investments are not an exaggeration to tap into the book's full potential. ”

"Manager Lin seems to be very sure that this book will be successful. Mu Ming said suspiciously.

Lin Caiwen pursed his lips and smiled, and asked rhetorically: "What, Mu Ming, don't you have confidence in your work?" The boy in front of him was too stable, and people couldn't help but want to tease him.

Mu Ming raised her eyebrows, leaned forward, stared at Lin Caiwen and said, "I am naturally very confident in my works, but Manager Lin's confidence seems to be even more than mine." "Eh, this conversation is weird.

"Ahem!" Liu Sheng coughed dryly beside him. When Lin Caiwen heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth narrowed a little, and he said seriously: "We have carefully read the story of "Soul Ferry" updated on Weibo, and we have also analyzed the comments of fans one by one, which is also the source of our confidence in this work. Of course, the specific pros and cons still have to see the full version of the plot before we can decide, so if there is a chance to cooperate, we will have to re-review the full version of the story before signing the contract. ”

"It should. Mu Ming nodded.

"In the current era, the success of a work depends on quality, publicity, and luck. Therefore, as long as the quality of the work is passed, the publicity cost is large, and the return is naturally large. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Caiwen paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and seemed to be thinking about something. Then his eyes froze, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he looked at Mu Ming and said bluntly: "And to be honest, funds are not a problem for our company." The experience of running a work, and the reputation of being a 'glorious year', is what we really want. ”

Looking at Mu Ming's surprised expression, Lin Caiwen continued: "In fact, before you, we have also been in contact with several other authors, and there are many excellent works among them. But it's just excellent, and if you want to make a profit, it's naturally the best choice, but if you want to erect the brand of 'glorious years', we need a work with 'hot' potential. ”

Lin Caiwen stared straight at Mu Ming: "And we, in the story of "Soul Ferry", saw this potential. ”

Mu Ming narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you gambling?"

Lin Caiwen Yile: "If you want to succeed, who can not gamble?"

Mu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment and nodded, this sentence Father Mu also once said, but he has never understood it deeply, but now he understands a little. Mu Ming sighed, sure enough, people's growth comes from experience, not age. Less than a month after returning from rebirth, I feel like I have learned more than I have learned in my previous life a year or two.

Speaking of this time, Mu Ming's heart has gradually agreed with the cooperation of "Glorious Youth". But this kind of thing can't be so hastily concluded, and I have to check whether these things Lin Caiwen said are true or false. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

"How long will Manager Lin and Editor-in-Chief Liu stay in Haiwei. Mu Ming asked.

"We're going back tomorrow. The company has just been established and there are still many things to take care of. Lin Caiwen said.

Mu Ming nodded, waved the document in his hand, and said, "Since this is the case, I won't delay the two of you." I'll discuss this with my parents when I get back, and if I've thought about it, I'll visit you later. ”

Lin Caiwen and Liu Sheng glanced at each other, their eyes showed joy, obviously hearing the intention hidden in Mu Ming's words. However, it was not revealed, Lin Caiwen picked up the coffee cup in front of him: "Then, we will sweep the couch and wait." ”

Mu Ming put down the cup that had been drunk: "Since this is the case, I will leave first." As he spoke, he stood up and raised his hand to the waiter at the front desk, signaling for the checkout.

"Since we invited us, let's come. Lin Caiwen also stood up and said to Mu Ming.

"No, business is business, one yard is one yard. Mu Ming shook her head, everyone is not a cooperative relationship, it is better to separate them.

A glass of iced latte forty-two, Mu Ming took out a fifty bill from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and said indifferently: "No need to look for it." Then he nodded to Lin Caiwen and Liu Sheng, and then walked out of the door of the hotel first.

Looking at Mu Ming's leaving, Liu Sheng asked Lin Caiwen, "What do you think of this Mu Ming." Lin Caiwen frowned and said with a smile: "Well-very interesting little friend." ”

"Oh?" Liu Sheng seemed a little surprised by Lin Caiwen's evaluation, but he didn't continue the topic, and then changed his words: "Let's go back early, although he is very satisfied with our conditions at present, it is better to prepare more." ”

Lin Caiwen nodded and asked the waiter to settle the bill again. Then the two of them also slowly left the café.

Mu Ming, who took the first step, regretted it a little at this time, and he only had the fifty in his pocket. If you don't pretend to be 13 and ask the waiter to find the change for yourself, then you can take a taxi home now, and you don't have to endure the poison of the sun.

Comrade Mu Ming, I've been a little inflated lately. Mu Ming said self-critically.

At dinner time in the evening, Mu Ming made a rare pot of fried noodles and served it to Mu's father. Father Mu looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him suspiciously, and then said with a smile: "Say, how much is this bowl of noodles worth." ”

"What you said is right, honoring your parents. Our relationship, what kind of money to talk about. Mu Ming said with a hippie smile.

"Hehe!" Father Mu snorted, leaned back in the chair and said, "Don't, I'm more at ease when I talk about money." ”

"It really has nothing to do with money. Mu Ming said sincerely: "That's the case, you know that I wrote a novel on the Internet." Father Mu nodded, and Mu Ming hurriedly continued: "Isn't this a good writing, a publishing company recently came to me to talk about signing a contract." With that, Mu Ming told Dad Mu in detail about the contract of the "Glorious Year".

"Is this company reliable?" said Father Mu with a frown.

"That's why I'm telling you, I'll have to ask you to find someone to check it out. Mu Ming explained.

"Oh, that's right. Father Mu stretched out his expression and said simply: "Okay, I'll find someone to ask tomorrow." Then, he pointed to the fried noodles in front of him and said, "Now I don't need money to eat this bowl of noodles." ”

"What do you say...... Ahh Mu Ming said with a sad and angry face.

"Fuck off!"
