Chapter 0118 - Family Matters
When Zeng Wei devoted himself to the final review, the second revised version of "Ancient Legends" had already been released and quickly caused a sensation.
Especially "Zhu Xian", which is even more eye-catching. The author of the signature Zeng family Sanshao, the previous serialized "Sou Shen Ji" in "Ancient Legends" made everyone feel amazing, but I didn't expect his new work to be even more eye-catching.
In Zeng Wei's pen, "Sou Shen Ji" and "Zhu Xian" are both Xianxia, but "Sou Shen Ji" is more inclined to the torrent of later generations, and the name "Zhu Xian" seems to have something to do with the flood wilderness, but it is a pure Xianxia, and the world described in it is more magnificent.
Driven by these two almost divine works, the circulation of the semi-monthly Legends of the Present and the Past did not decline, but bucked the trend, despite the high price of the magazine, which sold more than 6 million copies in the first half of June, the first issue after the revision, and continued to increase the number to 6.5 million copies after its launch in the second half of the month.
Although the "Legend of the Ancient Times" magazine offered Zeng Wei a sky-high remuneration, they gained even more generously.
Although they are not the first journal in China in terms of circulation alone, in terms of revenue and profit, they are far behind other periodicals and magazines.
………………
Zeng Wei's gains during this period are not only the serialization of two parts, but also the publication of "Sou Shen Ji".
Under the guidance of Su Shaohua, a large comprehensive publishing house in Jiangcheng reached a cooperation with Zeng Wei, and Zeng Wei handed over the publishing rights of "Sou Shen Ji" in the mainland to them. Zeng Wei received an initial copyright fee of 1 million, as well as a dividend of one yuan for each book issued in the later period.
In June, the first 600,000 copies of "Sou Shen Ji" were printed and will be available nationwide in early July.
According to the publisher's plan, this book, with a total word count of 1.6 million, will be distributed in five volumes, with the first three volumes being printed for the first time, and the last two volumes being published after the completion of the serialization of "Sou Shen Ji".
But even according to the most pessimistic estimates, the sales of "Sou Shen Ji" in the country are definitely more than these 600,000 copies, and it is impossible to add a zero to the end, or even more. After all, this film has too many fans in China.
And when "Sou Shen Ji" was placed on the shelves of bookstores all over the country, Zeng Wei also ushered in his last exam in his first year of high school.
At the end of June and the beginning of July, the final exams of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School except for the third year of high school, all other grades were launched one after another.
The final exams of the first year of high school are considered to be the last, and they are scheduled from July 3rd to July 5th, and the final exams of the second year of high school are in front of them.
This is mainly due to the fact that the second year of high school will start summer make-up classes immediately after the college entrance examination.
The exams for the first year of high school, which are nominally three days, are actually only two days, because the third day is just a test arranged in the morning, and then there is the dismissal ceremony. In the afternoon, the school will arrange the examination room, because the next day, July 6, the students of the college entrance examination will have to see the examination room.
Therefore, in the past two days, the exam schedule is still relatively tight, two courses are arranged every morning, then one more class is arranged in the afternoon, and then one exam is scheduled in the evening.
………………
After more than two days of fierce battles, the end of the first year of high school was also announced.
As soon as the exam was over, Zeng Wei packed up his things and arranged a car by Wuling Xian Liquor to send him back to Gudan. As for the transcript of the final exam, it will be mailed back by the school.
As long as the family is not in the main urban area of Jiangzhou, students basically use this method.
Zeng Wei, who returned to Gu Dan, almost entered a state of retreat, and he planned to write the first part of "Zhu Xian" this summer.
After all, when he arrived in the second year of high school, the pressure of studying was even greater, and coupled with the involvement of the company, Zeng Wei was worried that he really didn't have the energy to focus on writing anymore.
The day after Zeng Wei went home, he received a call from the head teacher Du Xiaoting informing him of Zeng Wei's final exam results. This time, Zeng Wei finally reluctantly regained the first place in the grade, with a score of 981 points, only 5 points higher than the second place.
Du Xiaoting warned Zeng Wei on the phone that although he was the first in the grade, his position was not stable, so he couldn't get too carried away this holiday, and he must take a certain amount of time to study, not only to review and consolidate the courses of the first year of high school, but also to preview the courses of the second year of high school.
Although Zeng Wei agreed very simply verbally, he smiled bitterly in his heart, because he didn't plan to read and study this summer vacation at all.
………………
The head teacher reported Zeng Wei's test results to the family, and the elders in the family were no longer worried about him. However, the results of the second sister Zeng Tong broke the hearts of her parents and grandmother.
Originally, Zeng Tong's junior high school grades were very bad, that is, the level of the junior high school of Shangqili Township Central School. In the end, it was the family that sponsored 10,000 yuan to let her enter the junior high school of Gudan No. 1 Middle School.
This is still Gu Dan No. 1 Middle School in Zeng Wei's face, and gave a great discount, otherwise don't say 10,000 yuan, if it is quadrupled, I am afraid that Gu Dan No. 1 Middle School will not accept it.
In the final exam last semester, Zeng Tong's grades were very unsatisfactory, even considering the study pressure she would face, she was not placed in a key class, but just chose an ordinary class where the teacher was very responsible, and she was also at the lower middle level in the class. This semester is even more annoying, and I almost became the tail of the crane.
After his mother Yan Chengxiu mentioned this matter to Zeng Wei, she expressed her concern that in the long run, Zeng Tong would not talk about going to college in the future, and whether she could be admitted to high school was a problem.
Zeng Wei didn't care and said: "This problem is not big, as long as you don't push the second sister too hard, let her be tired of school, and don't go to school in the future, I can guarantee her to go to high school and college." ”
As for money, is this still a problem for Zeng Wei now? Not to mention the huge Wulingxian Group, the remuneration he earns for writing alone is enough to break the threshold of any key high school or university in China for Zeng Tong.
Yan Chengxiu glared at Zeng Wei, she naturally knew what Zeng Wei meant when he said this. However, thinking about the poor results of the second girl, she was helpless.
After all, if you want Zeng Tong's grades to change greatly, the possibility is almost zero, in such a situation, what else can be done except to open the way with money?
She sighed, "Well, that's all there is to it. ”
