However, even if Yue Qingyan and Mo Ersheng have complained to each other so much, there seems to be no change in the mode of getting along. Because he stayed late in the printing factory and had a supper together, Mo Ersheng couldn't go back to school. Instead of taking a taxi back and knocking on the bedroom door, it is better to stay at Yue Qingyan's house for one night.

Yue Qingyan said that he stayed up all night, so he let Mo Ersheng lie in bed. However, the next morning, Mo Ersheng saw Yue Qingyan lying on the table with a coat on, falling asleep. Glancing at the screen, the number of words completed in one night is quite impressive, 7154.

He took the tip of his hair and gently swept it over Yue Qingyan's cheek, and he really woke up. Yue Qingyan's sleep is still good, but after all, it is difficult to really sleep well while sitting.

"Don't make a fuss. ”

"Why did you sleep on your stomach? I went to bed when I was sleepy. I didn't lock the door. ”

"Hmm. Not yet suitable......"

"What are you doing? You think it's going too fast? Lie down together, you have to do something to me?" Morsheng smiled.

"Just lying together seems ill-intentioned. As for that...... Well, no strength. Yue Qingyan said inarticulate while rubbing his face to regain his senses.

"You go wash your face. I'm going to get breakfast. ”

"Today I said I was going to Mingqian Company...... But this state. ”

After a long time of getting along and observing, Mo Ersheng has become familiar with Yue Qingyan's various states, and he can completely see when he is working hard, when he is deep in thought, and when he is just sitting in a daze to recover his strength. And, when is it already pushing yourself.

It is not surprising to say that Yue Qingyan was more excited yesterday and wrote more than 7,000 in one night. In fact, as long as he focuses on it, he will definitely be able to have six or seven thousand in three consecutive hours, and if you add the revision time, it will be four to five hours, which is very efficient. But now, he has clearly reached his limit. It's normal to be able to write more than 7,000 in one night, but falling asleep on his stomach is because he has passed the euphoria stage and entered the depression period.

"If it's not a big deal, why don't you make an appointment with them for another day?" Morsheng had already walked into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator to see what was left over or scraps that could be processed.

"Jin Yuan came over today to discuss the covers and illustrations of the next few volumes. The spine of the ten books has to be practiced into a painting, and Jin Yuan only drew a corner before, and this time he has to discuss how to make up for it. A lot of things too. Yue Qingyan said: "I didn't want to arrange it today, but Jin Yuan is going to participate in the comic exhibition tomorrow, and he is only free today." ”

"Now you know that the author has worked hard, and there are so many things to do besides writing. ”

"Thanks to me, I'm kind of a good writer. Otherwise, who is qualified to participate in this kind of thing. Yue Qingyan shrugged. On the Internet, how many authors have been made a huge ugly cover by the publishing house when they publish their books, and there is nothing they can do except cry themselves. And now, I am very lucky to be able to participate in the design of the cover. As for the hard work?

"Then I'll go with you?" Morsheng asked, "There are no classes today." It's time to learn. ”

Yue Qingyan agreed. Recently, Mo Ersheng has almost been working as an assistant for herself, so this kind of job opportunity should let her study along. Even he himself is ignorant of sketches, book publishing requirements, and so on.

However, when she arrived at Mingqian Company, as soon as she sat down in the conference room, Xu Yingying looked at the two of them curiously.

"You ...... Together?"

Xu Yingying's tone has clearly been confirmed, but it needs two people to verify it in person.

At this moment, Mo Ersheng felt strange, the two of them behaved intimately, or deliberately showed affection and Xu Yingying could see it. Mo Ersheng asked himself that today and Yue Qingyan had never behaved differently from usual in front of these people in front of Ming Qian.

"How do you see that?" Morsheng really couldn't figure it out.

"It's very simple," Xu Yingying said with a smile, "In the past, you first paid attention to his reaction in everything you did, but now, you have begun to pay attention to our reaction." Of course, you don't need to know Xiao Yue's reaction first, because you have the bottom in your heart. So we started to see if we could see it. ”

Yue Qingyan smiled and said, "Isn't it popular for everyone to play like this now?"

Xu Yingying said: "Pay a little attention, you can observe a lot, and it is more efficient to work and toss projects." ”

"Okay, okay. We don't have any secrets from each other. Rely on your eyesight. Yue Qingyan said with a smile.

Xu Yingying said to Mo Ersheng: "It's not easy. However, apart from this guy's good writing, where is it all right?"

As a girl, Xu Yingying is not as literate as Mo Ersheng. She wanted to find a boyfriend who would always spoil her, and she couldn't understand that Yue Qingyan was still with Mo Ersheng in the end.

Of course, as the operation of a publishing company, she is happy that the company can have an author like Yue Qingyan. Yue Qingyan is really dedicated, and the quality of his writing is high enough. But otherwise, it's better not to expect too much.

"Your honey, his arsenic. Morsheng smiled and said. She actually thinks quite clearly.

"Jin Yuan has already set off from the hotel, and he will be there in a while. After signing the non-disclosure agreement, he had already seen the fifth volume, and the outline was also available. He himself said that he was almost finished. He'll show us all the cover sketches and some illustration sketches today. Xu Yingying said: "This morning, the number of bookings from other channels has also begun to be summarized, and the situation is very good. Let's see, can you speed up the publication?"

"You already have the final draft of the first five volumes, so publish them if you think it's appropriate. Yue Qingyan thought for a while: "The chapters on the Internet are still released in the original order?"

"This has been communicated with the website platform. They have no opinion, and the website is ready to participate in other projects in the future. I'm very indifferent to the subscription part of the income. However, it can have a bit of an impact on your e-subscription revenue. ”

Yue Qingyan sighed: "There is a guaranteed print run of 150,000 copies of a single copy, and the part of electronic subscription is not so important." ”

It's also simple for the authors to calculate the stakes. Now a chapter of 3,000 words on the Internet can reach an average subscription of about 145,000, which is roughly equivalent to the remuneration income of 4,500 words per 1,000 words. According to a volume of almost 250,000 words, it is about 100,000. But as far as publishing is concerned, how much income can be made? The price of the book is 25 yuan for a single volume, the royalty is 6%, and the average pre-tax income for each book is 1.5 yuan. 150,000 copies is 225,000, and after deducting taxes, there are nearly 200,000. It's twice as much as the revenue from online subscriptions. Moreover, because of the VAM agreement between Yue Qingyan and Ming Qian, it is obvious that it is more important to ensure the income from publishing.

You can be very emotional and engaged when you write, but when you are dealing with your own business and expansion, you have to let go of a lot of things. It is important to consider the various aspects and weigh the pros and cons. You can't do anything you want.

"Okay, I'll go back with Ah Yue and Mr. Lian to discuss and make a plan, and then we'll talk about this later. ”

A small editor walked into the conference room with Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan is a tall boy, he looks twenty-four or five years old, he is neatly tied, he doesn't have a two-dimensional feeling at all, but looks like a capable senior white-collar worker.

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Jin Yuan's eyes immediately focused on Yue Qingyan.

"Teacher Yue, we finally met. Your work is truly an eye-opener. ”

"Hello hello, I'm sorry I've been rushing the manuscript and haven't been able to catch up with you. We've finally met. ”

The two of them touted each other before finally sitting down. Jin Yuan took out a stack of sketches from his satchel and showed it to everyone.

"You see, these are the covers of the standard version that I made. I finished the front and back covers of the first five volumes. The spine of the book did not fold the picture because the sketch still needs to be confirmed. Then, here's a full-length sketch of the spine concatenation. Jin Yuan arranged the sketches on the table and explained the function of each sketch to everyone. "The logo design is based on the version you gave me. I used all the official settings, which are to make a fuss about composition, light and shadow, etc. Then, I'll show you this set of pictures, which I did when I was drawing the cover, and there are a few of them. ”

Yue Qingyan looks very satisfied with the cover picture, and the next few books have not been colored but are just line drafts, but I can already see the appearance of the finished manuscript. Jin Yuan is worthy of being a big hand in the circle, not to mention that he is a fan of "Yinying", he has studied the works very carefully out of work, and he has a very accurate grasp of the temperament of the works. In terms of picture presentation, Jin Yuan's drawings are always full of tension and texture.

"These paintings ...... It's funny. Yue Qingyan picked up the illustrations that Jin Yuan took out later, and was attracted at first glance.

Jin Yuan used the composition and texture of famous paintings in history, and made a set of illustrations with the quality of oil paintings. Among them, "The Death of Yang Willy" uses the composition of "The Death of Valkyrie", and the environment is placed in the cabin of Yang Willy on the starship, surrounded by Julian, Feletliga and others. Modeling the composition, light and shadow of The Last Supper, Jin Yuan painted a group portrait of the Federation and the Empire......

"It's great. "Everyone looked at this set of pictures and was amazed.

"My idea is that this group of things should be sent as peripherals or commemorative pictures. Jin Yuan said: "The people in the painting circle are also very optimistic about this work, and with you and the operation of the website, this book should be a system that can continue to make money." This already requires a mature design and art team to co-ordinate, and you are very good at operating, but there doesn't seem to be a decision in terms of art. Therefore, I came today and wanted to ask about such a thing: I want to be the main beauty of "The Legend of Yinying". ”

Jin Yuan is a very business-minded painter, and he has a strong ability to set up and create. On the one hand, he loves the works of "Yinying", and hopes to continue to create for this work system with strong vitality, and at the same time, he also hopes that he can get more from it, so that his works can get more recognition along with "Yinying".

"This ...... I'm okay with that. Xu Yingying hurriedly said: "But I have to ask Mr. Lian for this." We really need a beauty. It can give you a little more confidence. Yesterday, the first and second volumes were shipped out of the factory, with a first printing of 150,000 copies. ”

"That's amazing. How come the whole set has sold millions of copies, and with online sales, I'm afraid it's the best fantasy work in recent years, right?" Jin Yuan exclaimed.

"Best? It's just that the writing is longer and attracts more attention. I've been reading various science fiction works lately. I've also seen a lot of really powerful ones. Yue Qingyan said modestly. "I'm okay, Jin Yuanda, I'll give me more advice in the future." ”
