The popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" is far beyond Wang Xiaofan's imagination.
There is no contract for this short story, and all chapters are free. And in just one week, this book has 300,000 collections and 10 million clicks. The discussion and admiration about "The Legend of Wukong" on the Internet are endless.
The familiar Hua Ming is indeed the most meaningful story, which is still fresh in people's memories even after ten years.

A monkey sings and dances at the end of solitude, a little more noisy than the millions of beings at this time.

Let every ordinary and gentle person ignite the courage to tear apart their fate, and also leave a mark on every clear paragraph.

The rebelliousness that has been suppressed for 500 years is destined to choose a moment to achieve a great sound, the demon and the fairy Buddha dance together, and the monkey overlooking the blue waves and yellow sand has completed an incredible burning in his fiery eyes, which makes me feel that he is standing in this era, faintly looking at the distant past.
- Silver ring on the tail finger
Even the Four Princes of China, who have always looked down on online literature, wrote on a meager note: "The legend of an era, a hundred years later, there will still be people remembering." ”
The four princes all said yes, can it be bad?
As a result, many upper-level people who didn't look much at the Internet went to study the prince's recommendation. After reading it, I didn't think it was enjoyable, so I read the other two books of mortal networks as well.
The already finished "Breaking the Sky" and "Buddha is the Way" have re-appeared on the homepage list because of the popularity of "Wukong Biography", which has never happened since the opening of Qiuqiu Chinese Network.
……
Yuanfang Publishing House is a very inconspicuous small publishing house among many publishing houses in China.
In this world, e-books are dominant, and traditional reading materials have shown a downward trend of decadence for several consecutive years. Except for a few giants such as Changjiang Publishing House, National Books, and Xinhua Publishing House, which can still maintain high profits, other publishing houses can barely maintain a break-even, and it is difficult to achieve profit growth.
And the recent new revolution in online literature led by mortals has given many publishing houses hope again. When "Buddha is the Way" was serialized in the later stage, many publishing houses rushed to publish it. Even many of the networks that have done well to imitate the book have basically been carved up by a few large publishing houses.
Zhang Jianxin, the editor-in-chief of the Far Away Publishing House, was anxious in his eyes, but the text messages he sent to mortals on the station had been in vain, and he had no contact information, so he could only watch dryly at other publishing houses making a lot of money by publishing mortal books.
"Editor-in-chief, there is a reply, but ......"
"Hmm, the mortal agreed, but what?" Zhang Jianxin looked up, his eyes lit up.
"Uh...... agreed, but agreed, but it was not "Breaking the Sky", it was ...... "The Legend of Wukong". The assistant glanced at the boss whose face was gradually gloomy, and his tone was a little slurred.
Zhang Jianxin rubbed the corners of his eyes, extremely disappointed in his heart. He has read the mortal's "The Legend of Wukong", which is good. It's a pity that the number of words is too small, only a hundred thousand words. Even if it is published, it will only be published in one volume.
But "Breaking the Sky" is different!
That book is the best with more than 5.3 million words, and in the reading survey and evaluation of primary and secondary school students, the satisfaction rate of this book is as high as 90%. You must know that the satisfaction rate of ordinary reading materials can reach 50%, which can already make the author smile from ear to ear. Although adults have mixed reviews of the book, Zhang Jianxin believes that if he can buy the copyright and publish it as a children's book, he will definitely make a lot of money!
In fact, Zhang Jianxin's idea is very correct. In the previous life, the book "Breaking the Sky" was published as children's literature and sold 10 million copies.
Judging from Zhang Jianxin's many years of experience, compared with the originator of this waste firewood stream, the publication prospects of "The Legend of Wukong" are not good, at most, that is, it is just a guarantee not to lose money.
However, Zhang Jianxin thought about it, so many publishing houses are fighting for the publishing rights of "Breaking the Sky", why should he, a small publishing house, compete with others?
It is better to use the opportunity of the publication of "The Legend of Wukong" to get close to the mortals, and if the gods are happy, they will sell the copyright to themselves, and maybe it will be! Besides, their publishing house has not published a book this year, and they are losing money on both sides and sides, and the loss of publishing a book of more than 100,000 yuan can be less.
"What is the royalty demanded by mortals?" Zhang Jianxin asked with a serious expression as he held his chin with his hands.
"Yes...... It's fifty percent. The assistant's voice grew quieter.
The sharing agreement for the ordinary online literary industry to sign a simplified copyright is generally 15%, and if it is "Breaking the Sky", even if it is a 50% royalty rate, it will be gladly accepted from afar.
can be replaced by a book like "The Legend of Wukong", which has an unknown publication prospect, and mortals will ask for half of the royalties when they open their mouths, which is too bullying, right?
"Editor-in-chief, the mortal also said that if the book is published at a loss, all the expenses will be borne by him. The assistant said this, and his voice was a little louder.
Zhang Jianxin couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Where did this mortal man get his confidence?
Traditional publications have been losing money for so many years, and although his book bears the name of an online article, it is a product between online articles and traditional readings, and it is very difficult to say whether it can make money. Do mortals just want to publish this book and fulfill their dreams?
If that's the case, he would have paid less for royalties, and there are definitely a lot of publishers rushing to ask for them.
The distant publishing house has been losing money for several years in a row, and if it continues like this, it will close down in less than two years, so for the long-term development of the publishing house, Zhang Jianxin decided to take a gamble.
His complexion changed for a moment, he bit his lip, and said, "Tell mortals that I don't need him to bear the loss of publishing." But at the same time, tell mortals that under the same conditions, the Far Away Publishing House must enjoy the priority right to publish "Breaking the Firmament"!"
"Well, okay editor-in-chief, I'll go. The assistant trotted away.
Zhang Jianxin began to pinch his eyelids as soon as he had something on his mind. Leaning back on the seat, Zhang Jianxin only felt physically and mentally exhausted.
The publishing house has a group of people to support, pay money for salaries, pay for insurance, and rent a house is a lot of money. If the publishing house was not Zhang Jianxin's family business, he would have resigned a long time ago.
With his qualifications, it is still easy to find a comfortable and high-paying job.
In the past two years, he himself has posted 5 million to the publishing house, and if it weren't for the state's support policies, the publishing house would have collapsed long ago.
Even so, the successive losses have left the publishing house heavily in debt, and with fewer and fewer benefits, many employees have changed jobs.
"Mortals, it's up to you whether you can survive in the distance......" Zhang Jianxin muttered weakly.
(Last night, I changed the chapters several times in a row.,And then upload it.,Look at it with your phone again.,The content displayed is still repeated.,There's nothing wrong with what is displayed on the creation of the world.。 This is a problem with the website, I really can't solve it, and the editor in charge is also on vacation, so I can't contact him. However, there is only one chapter missing on the mobile phone, which does not affect reading, if there is obsessive-compulsive disorder that must be read, please come to the creation Chinese network, there is no problem here. The pressure is too great, and I'm in a hurry to get a nosebleed today......)
