Chapter 20 Publication is promising
It turns out that the pork ribs were indeed wasted by Zhang Yang, and the taste was so sweet that Zhang Yang couldn't even eat the second piece. Su Qingyan's mouth is indeed very picky, and he has never touched this dish again.
Fortunately, his cooking skills barely passed, and the other three dishes tasted pretty good, Su Qingyan could eat them anyway, otherwise he would have become hungry when he said that he would have eaten.
"Yesterday, the company was spreading that you joined the miracle video?" Su Qingyan suddenly asked.
Zhang Yang said: "It's not like joining, I made a deal with your Mr. Zuo, I sold the work to her, and then attached some people and equipment." ”
"People and equipment?" Su Qingyan was a little puzzled.
"I'm going to make a show and broadcast it on the platform of Miracle Video. ”
"You do a show?" Su Qingyan was taken aback, "You can do a show?"
"Not only do I make shows, but I also write songs, scripts, and novels. Zhang Yang began to blow again.
Su Qingyan quipped: "It's the same as you said you can cook?"
Zhang Yang coughed dryly: "Isn't this an accident? ”
"And next time?" Su Qingyan shook his head and said seriously: "What you said is not true, right?"
"Of course it's true, the contracts have been signed, and the works will be broadcast in three months. ”
"Three months, after the broadcast, you're too child's play. Making a show is not as simple as stir-frying a dish. Su Qingyan said: "It's a waste for you to do this." ”
"Rest assured, it won't be wasted. My show is not complicated, and three months is enough. ”
Su Qingyan looked at him suspiciously, and he didn't want to say anything more.
Zhang Yang's phone rang suddenly.
It's an unfamiliar number.
"Hello. Zhang Yang answered.
"Hello, is it Zhang Yang?" said a young and nice voice from the other side.
"Yes, who are you?"
The other side was busy introducing himself: "I am Xiao Xu of the Culture Publishing House, and we contacted by email yesterday." ”
"I remember I remember, hello hello,. Zhang Yang's spirit was shocked, and he knew that there should be good news.
"Well, that's right, I saw that your mobile phone number belongs to the capital, are you in the capital now?"
"Yes, I'm in the capital. ”
"Is it convenient to meet? Let's talk about "Zhu Xian". ”
"Is it a contract?"
"Hmm......" Xiao Xu paused: "Let's meet and talk, is it convenient now?"
Could it be that he was rejected again? Zhang raised his eyebrows and wrinkled unconsciously: "It's convenient, you can give me an address." ”
"I'll send you the address on your phone later, so we'll see you later?"
"Okay. Zhang Yang hung up the phone, and a few minutes later, he received a text message.
"Publishing House?" Su Qingyan was a little surprised, "You can't really write a novel, do you?"
"Of course it's true, I said I was omnipotent. Zhang Yang put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I have to go out, and it depends on whether it can be published this time." ”
"Are you really doing this or are you kidding me?" Su Qingyan still didn't believe it.
"I'll show you the novel later. After Zhang Yang said this, he hurried out, leaving Su Qingyan with a stunned face.
……
More than an hour later, Zhang Yang came to a KFC.
"Hello, I'm here, where are you?"
"Are you there? I'm sitting outside KFC, I'm wearing a light blue dress, there's not a lot of people here, I think I see you. ”
Zhang Yang looked around, and soon saw a beautiful woman in a long skirt not far away, who happened to be still on the phone.
"I think I saw you, too. He walked over and said tentatively: "Xiao Xu of the Culture Publishing House?"
"It's me. Xiao Xu politely stretched out his right hand.
Zhang Yang also stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm Zhang Yang." ”
"Xu Xiaoya. Xu Xiaoya smiled sweetly, "I'm sorry, I'll let you come out at noon." ”
"You're welcome, isn't it for my business after all?" Zhang Yang sat down on the side.
"Drink something?"
"You're welcome, let's get down to business. Zhang Yang got straight to the point, "I want to know, is there a possibility of publishing this book?"
Xu Xiaoya was obviously stunned, as if she didn't expect him to be so direct, and after a few seconds of silence, she said: "I personally think this book is not bad, but after I submitted it to the editor-in-chief, it was rejected, and he said that the content of this book is too bland, and he can't even see what you want to write." ”
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, and sure enough, he was rejected again.
"Then you're coming to me today?"
"I think this book is different from most Xianxia books on the market now, there is no bloody killing in this book, and there is no coolness that people are pursuing now, this is a novel, a novel that really tells a story, so I want to fight for it again. Xu Xiaoya explained her intentions, "Can you tell me about the direction behind this book?" ”
"Do you fight for it?" Zhang Yang was stunned again and smiled dumbly.
He has read "Zhu Xian" many times, relatively speaking, it was indeed a bit bland before the competition, because this was not a novel that pursued refreshment. The selling point of this book is not refreshing, but emotional. Love, friendship, and family are intertwined. This book seems to be very bland, but the more I read it, the more flavorful it becomes, and I can even read it several times.
There is also a bit of abuse in the middle of this book, for example, Tian Ling'er married Senior Brother Qi, and Baguio died. And in the end, Xiaohuan didn't give an explanation.
On the earth, there are many people who like the cold Lu Xueqi, and there are also many people who like Baguio, who doesn't have many scenes but is witty and eccentric, and he only likes that cute and lively little ring.
"How sure are you?" asked Zhang Yang.
Xu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect him to ask such a question, thought about it, and said, "There should be two or three percent." ”
"Two or three?" Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, this is really not very sure.
"How big you grasp depends mainly on the content behind you, and the more exciting the content behind you, the more likely it is. Xu Xiaoya didn't have much confidence when she said this. When she came, she tried her best to recommend the book to the editor-in-chief, but the editor-in-chief still sent it back.
But she thinks the book is very well written, although the front is indeed a little bland, but there is still a desire to read it. She even found a feeling of reading romance novels.
"The content you gave me yesterday has already written that the disciples of Qingyunmen are going to compete, what is the plot behind?"
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "I'll tell you about it." ”
A few minutes later, Xu Xiaoya exclaimed, "What does Tian Ling'er like Senior Brother Qi......?"
"Zhang Xiaofan's opponent is Lu Xueqi? I really have some expectations, but what is the result?"
"Zhang Xiaofan lost? Is there any inside story here?"
"Baguio?
"What, she's dead, Zhang Xiaofan has joined the Demon Sect?"
"Did you meet Lu Xueqi and them later?"
After listening to Zhang Yang's speech, Xu Xiaoya was stunned, this plot ...... It's so rich.
Zhang Yang said: "After Zhang Xiaofan joined the Demon Sect, he spent most of his time looking for a way to rescue Baguio, but at the end, Baguio still didn't save him. ”
Xu Xiaoya asked, "Is it because of Lu Xueqi?"
Zhang Yang smiled helplessly and did not speak.
"This book really didn't disappoint me, the plot is wonderful and exciting, and if it is published, it should not sell badly. Xu Xiaoya was a little excited, "Don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely find a way to persuade our editor-in-chief to agree to the publication of this book, but can you give me the rest of the content in the past two days? With the back content, I will be more confident if I want to persuade our editor-in-chief." ”
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "What I just said is the content that follows, if he listens to it and still doesn't want to publish it, I just write the whole book to no avail, right?"
Xu Xiaoya glanced at him and said curiously: "Mr. Zhang, you don't seem to have much confidence that this book can be published?"
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I have voted for this book in six publishing houses, and so far, it has been rejected by four, no matter how confident I am, I will inevitably be a little pessimistic." ”
Xu Xiaoya said: "Don't be discouraged Mr. Zhang, this is really a good book, and I will definitely find a way to let more people see it." In case our publisher really doesn't want it, I will recommend it to other publishers. ”
"Thank you then. ”
"No thanks, this is what I have to do. Xu Xiaoya stood up, "Then I'll go back and arrange it first, and I'll contact you in two days when I have news." ”
"Thank you for both good news and bad news. Zhang Yang said gratefully.
Xu Xiaoya smiled slightly: "Contact when the time comes." ”
Zhang Yang nodded and got up to leave.
Whether this book can be published or not, this Xu Xiaoya should be the last expectation, and the rest of the publishing houses should not be counted on. Bi Wan also knew that some publishing houses would not reply to the pitches they didn't like.
However, thinking that such a classic book could not be published, he was still a little unwilling in his heart.
Is there any way to do it?" he thought to himself.
