Chapter 12 Treatment of Authors of Ming Qian Company
Yue Qingyan spends almost all of his time writing except for eating and going to the toilet. Eating and drinking, basically Xu Yingying or Ah Yue are supplied in shifts. In the video, people in the company find that he hardly really stops, but in between writing and thinking about sentences, his eyes will glance at the side where the food is placed a few times and then continue to write. When I think of a sentence or expression when I eat, I write it down or write it on the wall as soon as possible, and then continue eating. When Xu Yingying later saw Yue Qingyan's eyes rushing towards food, she knew that it was time to order takeout.
30,000 words is actually not a lot, if you are a professional author, you generally have a pure typing speed of more than 2,000 per hour. But Yue Qingyan's biggest pressure is that once his manuscript at each stage is finalized, he has no chance to change it. It's one thing to wait for the proofreading manuscript to come out and then make corrections, but at least drastically it's not possible. Therefore, he handled it paragraph by paragraph, with extreme care. The next day, I finished two paragraphs, and the length advanced to more than 9,000 words. On the third day, 14,000 were written, and more than 70% of the whole work was completed. On the fourth day, I was stuck for a while, and I didn't write much, only more than 4,000. It wasn't until the fifth day that he had finished the whole page. The full text is 29,282 words.
The most important thing is that almost all the typos are due to typing errors, and many of them have been corrected by himself, and the three reviews and three proofreadings of the entire Ming Qian editorial department have been solved extremely quickly. This efficiency, focus, and amazing text quality convinced Ming Qian up and down.
On the Internet, at first, it was just all kinds of boring people who entered the live broadcast room to watch the boring codeword process. But more and more authors, whether professional or amateur, have come in after seeing the link posted by the official Ming Qian on Weibo. Then, many people stayed in the live broadcast room, using the live broadcast room as a chat room, exchanging their views on what Yue Qingyan wrote, as well as their views on Yue Qingyan's fatal concentration.
"I can last about an hour, and then I have to open a game. ”
"I play games every day until 10 o'clock, and it's too late to turn on WPS. ”
"I'm even more amazing, and I won't stop it when it's too late. Anyway, readers are already familiar with my style. ”
"Don't take out the online article and compare the quality of the text with the publication. ”
"Some of the texts are still comparable. The publication is now also water. ”
"People don't have a short story. Writing this kind of short story is faster than the speed of the online article, which is scary. ”
"I doubt I'm qualified to be an author. ”
"If you have doubts, don't go, make an appointment for a drink. ”
…………
Chats like this went almost completely on for days. And although this "Red Rose and White Rose" has not yet entered the novel collection, it has been carefully studied many times by online games and various authors and editors. At first, it was just someone looking at the screen and uploading it by hand, but then the company felt that it was not necessary to bother with it, so they directly posted the review draft on the Internet, and released it together with the above review comments. The manuscript handed over by Yue Qingyan was an average of no more than 3 typos in 10,000 words, and no more than 8 punctuation errors, almost no language problems in the whole process, and Yue Qingyan felt that there might be misunderstandings in the follow-up expressions in some places, and even added annotations himself, so that the reviewers should not move. This amazingly completed novel was witnessed by everyone, and when it was finally completed, there were almost 1,000 people in the live broadcast room. Although it does not take live broadcast as a profit point, the income of the live broadcast room has accumulated almost 100,000 in the past few days. Many authors think it's awesome and then reward a single order.
Many of these online writers have said this at the end of their chapters in the past few days, which has also attracted more good deeds. Although the overlap rate between online readers and traditional literature readers is not high, they still have a basic understanding of good articles.
With such a round, two more rounds of promotion and fermentation, Yue Qingyan's name was known by more people. From this point of view, it may indeed help him.
But Xu Yingying looked at Yue Qingyan's state in the past few days, and she was very worried. Sitting still for many hours a day is also very tiring and has many negative effects on health. Not to mention the high-speed consumption of brain power, which is an even more immeasurable consumption.
Although the food and drink these days are not bad, and the amount is also quite a lot. But Yue Qingyan still circled at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Finally handed in the manuscript, Yue Qingyan lay on the table for more than an hour, and then staggered up a little and walked out of the conference room.
Everyone in the office was looking at him.
"Yes, I didn't waste time. Yue Qingyan asked Xu Yingying, who was walking towards him.
"No, no, no. Come with me, go get some rest. ”
At this time, Yue Qingyan was already a little delirious. After a sigh, he followed Xu Yingying, slept in the taxi for a while, and then woke up after arriving at the hotel, and was taken into the room by Xu Yingying. Although Yue Qingyan wanted to take a bath, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
When he woke up, it was already the middle of the night. Yue Qingyan had the sanity to observe this space.
It seems to be a very high-end hotel. He found the name of the hotel on the table: St. Regis Jing'an. And the company opened a pretty good room for him, with a huge bathroom, especially what made him feel intimate: there was a big bathtub.
There was already a hotel delivery sandwich on the table in the room, and a small card next to it that read: Eat first and take a shower when you get up. A change of clothes is ready for you in the closet. If you need to call the front desk, the company pays, you're welcome. I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow morning. Xu Yingying.
Yue Qingyan looked at his phone, and the battery was still full. In the past few days, his phone has been plugged into the charging cable and has hardly touched it. He looked at the people in his phone's address book, okay...... There's really no one else to contact. The replacement clothes that Xu Yingying bought for him were all of the right size, and they were basically produced by UNIQLO Muji, and the packaging bag was neatly unpacked, the washing label was cut off, and hung in the closet. The shirt is still burned. Xu Yingying, a rich girl, didn't expect to be so meticulous in taking care of people.
Anyway, there was no one to contact, and his spirit was still extremely tired and tired, so Yue Qingyan really went to take a shower. Then he suddenly remembered the skills of his two novels, hesitated for a long time, opened the document on his phone, and extracted the skills.
This time, the luck was pretty good. "Soul Breaker Gun" drew "Sand Dragon-Soul Breaker Gun"
Skill: Soul Breaker Gun
Source Character: Sand Dragon
Props: Guns, clubs, or other similarly shaped objects
Description: Master the Soul Breaker Gun completely, and you can use all 64 types or some of them with the help of props. The Soul Breaker has a complete offensive and defensive skill system, and when using the Soul Breaker move, the character's offensive and defensive abilities are increased by 150%.
It's good, it's good, although I don't know how to use it for the time being, but it's the core skill of the protagonist. Yue Qingyan finally has a combat skill, which is enough to make him stink for a while. However, the law and order are still very good now, and he is not interested in asking for trouble to eliminate violence and peace or anything, and this skill is only a demonstration value.
In "Red Roses and White Roses", the draw is "Guerris - Piano Preliminary (Part)"
Skill: Piano Preliminary (Partial)
Character Source: Grace
Power-ups: Pianos and keyboard instruments with piano-like characteristics.
Description: Preliminary mastery of the operation and theoretical knowledge of piano skills. Proficient in repertoire such as "Shadow Waltz" and its variations, with the foundation for continuing to learn piano skills. This skill can be leveled up with practice. Gaining the same skill stacks to level up.
One article and one martial arts, this can be regarded as mastering two powerful pretend skills. Moreover, the piano skill is also very good for improving self-cultivation and the like. Of course, it sounds a little strange for the author to master the use of yet another keyboard. Regardless, this is by far the most useful skill.
Yue Qingyan slept well, and the next morning when he was having breakfast at the hotel, Xu Yingying's call came. When he finished eating, he sent him to the company and went directly to Lianxingjie's office. Lian Xingjie and Ah Yue are waiting for him.
"Xiao Yue is here. Ah Yue smiled and said, "This time, everyone is very convinced. It's amazing. ”
"It's good that nothing went wrong. In fact, there is still no bottom in my heart. Yue Qingyan is not modest, and if you remember the story, the reconstruction of "Red Rose and White Rose" is very torturous. I didn't dare to slack off at all in the past few days, and the final result was still good.
"It's the quality that makes everyone happy. The results of the live broadcast are also very good. Of course, the number of people and those anchors and the like can't be compared, but the influence in the circle is out. Lian Xingjie said.
"Live broadcast?" Yue Qingyan was stunned.
"Oh, when you started writing, I asked you, anyway, how about you code words like this these days and start a boring live broadcast? Xu Yingying was still a little weak when she said this.
"Oh, oh. Yue Qingyan didn't remember what he said or didn't say at all, "That's it." That's fine. ”
"The income from the live broadcast will be transferred to you later. Then, sign the licensing agreement for these novels. Another one, I just want to talk to you, do you want to sign a long-term contract with us tomorrow?" Lian Xingjie asked: "We have seen your ability and are looking forward to it, so I want to tie you to our chariot as soon as possible." ”
"We are still good to the author before tomorrow, and we are well-known in the industry. Long-term contracts are mainly copyright grants and priority, as well as limited brokerage agreements. Ah Yue began to explain the composition of their authorship long covenant. Before the Ming Dynasty, Yue Qingyan's creation was not restricted, but the works he created were handed over to the Ming Dynasty agent, and he enjoyed a 10% royalty on publishing, and with the total number of copies issued, he enjoyed a cascade of increasing royalties. Regardless of the length, the novel works are distributed and promoted by Ming Qian, and after the sale of the license, the two parties will divide 40% to 60%, and if it is a copyright cooperation project, Ming Qian will pay Yue Qingyan cash in advance according to the valuation of the work in the cooperation agreement. These terms are fair, especially for a newcomer.
The brokerage contract part is to communicate with Yue Qingyan in advance on some directional creative needs, or collective creation and cooperation projects, and then act as an agent in combination with commercial demands when permission. It's a very flexible contract.
"Then what if I want to write an online article?" Yue Qingyan said: "This, it doesn't seem to be within your scope. ”
Lian Xingjie and Ah Yue were stunned. They looked at it and felt that Yue Qingyan was a typical traditional literary path, with great potential, but he said that if he wanted to write an online article, if he didn't deliberately shirk it, it might be an interesting opportunity?
"The right to disseminate electronic information on the network of all works belongs to you. For the others, use this contract, just add one. Lian Xingjie said without much hesitation: "In this way, it basically does not affect our cooperation, we don't understand the online text platform, but we are still interested in contacting it." ”
"Then I'm fine. Yue Qingyan smiled and said, "Sign it." ”
