Chapter 3: Goodbye to New Books [Second Update]

A week later, Lin Feng received replies from E Publishing House and then F Publishing House. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

E Publishing House approved, but the remuneration is only the price of a newcomer, 4500.f per episode The publishing house has not been reviewed, and the review result of the reply is also too heavy for the killing scene.

Lin Feng did not immediately contact E Publishing House, and was still waiting for a reply from A Publishing House and B Publishing House.

In these days of waiting for the results, Lin Feng still did not stop creating new books, maintaining a speed of about 6,000 words a day, slowly advancing the plot.

The first cinematic world has opened.

This time, Lin Feng chose "The Grim Reaper is Coming 1".

This is also a classic Hollywood horror movie, Lin Feng doesn't remember if the second movie world of "Infinite Horror" is this, anyway, he chose this.

In this scene, there are no superpowers, the protagonists and supporting characters are ordinary people, but the degree of danger is more exaggerated than "Resident Evil 1", although the movie version of "Resident Evil 1" kills step by step, but in the end, the heroine still survived. But in "The Grim Reaper 1", in the end, the protagonists and supporting roles were all wiped out, and no one survived to the end.

Danger always comes by surprise, and it is impossible to prevent it.

"Mr. Fan, do you still want to sign this person and sign this book?" Xia Xiaoyu said in surprise.

Fan Huacheng sat back in his seat with a smile, patted the armrest of the chair and decided: "Yes! I have personally read this book, although it is really like what Editor-in-Chief Zhang said, it lacks female characters and has too much murderous spirit, but it is really wonderful! It is rare to meet a good book that a big publishing house does not dare to publish, and if we don't sign it, we will definitely regret it!"

"Then you're not afraid of copyright disputes with those film companies?"

"What's there to be afraid of? You don't know the situation of our publishing house, if we continue to survive half-dead like this, do you think we can last a few years? Just sign this book! If this book doesn't become popular, it's fine, and those big film companies won't have any copyright lawsuits with a novel that no one reads, and if it becomes popular, our fame will suddenly become much bigger! It will be known to many writers, and when the time comes, we will not only be able to make money on this book, but also receive other high-quality manuscript sources! Maybe we can turn a profit in one fell swoop and get rid of the current half-dead state! As for those film companies? Let's say hello to that morning seal and let him write as many horror movies as possible about those European and American film companies, those film companies in Europe and the United States may not notice this book, and even if they do, we are far away from the ocean, they may not really fight a lawsuit with us for this little thing, even if they take 10,000 steps back, they really fight a lawsuit with us, it will be worth it! As long as we don't sue us for bankruptcy, we will be able to receive a batch of high-quality manuscripts and come back to life!

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes!

This was what Fan Huacheng thought at that time.

Xia Xiaoyu listened to Fan Huacheng's words, and her eyes lit up.

In her heart, she also understands that if a small publishing house like them does not take strange tricks and develop in a regular way, it is almost impossible for them to grow in the cracks of those big publishing houses.

And this opportunity in front of us is a great opportunity to make a miracle move! An opportunity to make a name for itself as a publishing house.

"Then I'll go and ask He Ying to find that morning seal and fallen leaves to sign a contract now?" Xia Xiaoyu was persuaded and immediately wanted to do this matter.

"No hurry!"

Fan Huacheng took out a cigarette and lit it, took a comfortable puff, Zhizhu said: "Now is the morning seal and the fallen leaves can't find the publishing house to publish the book for him, so even a small publishing house like us also submits, now is the time for us to pinch him, wait! According to our regular review time, we will notify him to sign the contract after a week, and the review time of those big publishing houses is at least half a month, a week, we are still the earliest, if we notify him to sign the contract today, it will be difficult for us to sign his book at a low price!" ”

Xia Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

A week later, the signing notice was sent to Lin Feng's mailbox, but unfortunately, their offer was only 4500 for newcomers and new books per episode, and there were still several big publishing houses that did not reply, so Lin Feng did not reply to them at all.

This happened for a few days, and Fan Huacheng, who was getting more and more anxious, went to ask He Ying for news every morning and evening.

Seeing that another four days had passed, plus the previous week of deliberate delay, the time had been almost half a month, and it was almost time for those big publishing houses to review the manuscripts, Fan Huacheng finally couldn't calm down.

"I can't wait any longer! It's been four days since the signing notice was sent, and the morning seal has not replied, which means that he can't look at the newcomer price of 4500 for the last episode, or is waiting for the review results of several other publishing houses, Xiaoyu! You go and ask He Ying to send another email and tell him that we can negotiate the conditions! 4500 can't do it, we will raise the price for him, 6000 or 7000 can be considered! Up to 7000! If he is still not satisfied, then ask him if he signed the royalty share? We give him a royalty share of up to 12! How much money he can make depends on whether his book can be popular! If he doesn't have confidence in the book himself, he must buy it out, and if 7,000 is not enough, forget it!"

"Okay! Mr. Fan!"

After Xia Xiaoyu received the order, he immediately hurried out of the office to explain to He Ying.

This matter is related to their next fate, and the premise of whether this trick can be successfully performed is whether they can sign the book.

Otherwise, no matter how well Fan Huacheng planned, he would not have succeeded at all without such a draft.

……

So, that night, after Lin Feng finished the code, he logged in to the mailbox to see if there was any news from the other publishing houses, and saw the new email sent by E Publishing House again.

Lin Feng thought it was just an ordinary email urging him to sign a contract, so he opened it casually, and then saw the latest offer from E Publishing House.

6000 per episode, or 10 royalties are divided.

The price of 6,000 per episode has already been signed with "The Warlords of the Three Kingdoms" to C Publishing House, and Lin Feng was a little surprised when he saw this offer.

E Publishing House, Lin Feng is no stranger, before rebirth, the first work of his coding career, was published by that publishing house, a few years later, when E Publishing House was in difficulty, he even offered a high price of 161 episodes in the industry to dig tomatoes in the past, but unfortunately, Tomato didn't pay attention to it at all, and then after another year or two, E Publishing House went out of business.

Lin Feng's current fame, of course, cannot be compared with tomatoes a few years later.

Tomato is in the online literature industry,Basically, it belongs to the existence of that kind of bug,Except for the first "Legend of Xingfeng" did not have a big hit,Code words for many years,One book is more popular than one book,It has long occupied the top position of the singularity monthly ticket list,On the annual list,It is also a frequent visitor to the top of the list,It is completely the guarantee of popularity。

Therefore, when he was at the peak of his popularity, E Publishing House, which has always been reluctant to offer a high price, dared to grit its teeth and quote a sky-high price of 161 episodes.

161 episodes, only 65,000 words!

Before 2010, few publishers in Taiwan offered such prices to online writers.

But the strength of e-publishing house is still too small after all, and even if you can get a high price for a while when you sign a contract with them, you have no future for development.

Therefore, that night, when Lin Feng saw their offer of 6,000 per episode, although he was surprised, he was still unmoved, he would rather sign 5,000 per episode to a larger publishing house than cooperate with E Publishing House, a publishing house that will close down in a few years.

But behind the quotation of 6000 episodes, the sentence or the condition of royalty sharing 10 made Lin Feng quite moved.

Royalty sharing, not a famous author with a certain popularity, the publishing house does not sign this with you at all, even if you reluctantly sign with you, the money you can get may not be more than a few thousand yuan per episode.

But Lin Feng had confidence in "Infinite Killing", so after thinking about it for a while, he sent an email.

"If the royalty is divided into 15, we can sign a contract!"

……

The next day, when Fan Huacheng was sitting in the office and heard the number reported by He Ying, his brows furrowed, and the morning seal and fallen leaves could be quoted, which showed that the two sides had talked, unlike before, people didn't even bother to reply to their offers, so that people couldn't use their rhetoric.

It's hard to know where to start.

It's just a royalty share of 15, which obviously exceeds his psychological bottom line.

Xia Xiaoyu and He Ying were waiting for his decision.

I heard that Publishing House B seems to be planning to open a share of the publishing tax, and I heard that they can't decide whether this book can be popular or not, so they don't dare to buy it out at a high price, and only dare to use the royalty share to try it......" Xia Xiaoyu said with some worry next to him.

In the past, Publishing House B was slightly more famous than Publishing House C, but in the last year or two, Publishing House C has gradually surpassed Publishing House B, but even so, Publishing House B is still much stronger than their E Publishing House.

Are they really going to sign the book on royalties, too?"

Fan Huacheng, who already had a headache, was shocked when he heard this.

Under his sharp gaze, Xia Xiaoyu nodded wordlessly.

Fan Huacheng lowered his head again, unconsciously pinching his temples with his fingers, still hesitating in his heart.

"Any idea how much royalty they plan to give?"

After a while, Fan Huacheng asked in a low voice.

"I didn't hear about this......"

In fact, Fan Huacheng also knows that even if the share of Publishing House B is lower than theirs, most of the Morning Seal Fallen Leaves will choose Publishing House B, because they are a big publishing house, and after the book is signed, there will be better opportunities for cooperation in the future.

What a headache!

Half a month is coming, and the review of B Publishing House may be sent to the hands of the morning seal and fallen leaves at any time, and when there is a competitor of B Publishing House, he Fan Hua has no chance.

Fan Huacheng suddenly regretted why he had delayed for a week before to give the notice of signing the contract for the morning seal leaves, if there was an extra week of negotiation time, they would have a lot of room to operate.

He really didn't want to give up this opportunity to make a dangerous move, and if he missed such an opportunity, he didn't know if there would be a second similar opportunity.

"He Ying! Send him another email!14 of the shares, and if he still doesn't agree, ...... Just say 15!"

He Ying and Xia Xiaoyu were surprised when they heard this order, they both knew that Fan Huacheng's previous bottom line was 12, but they didn't expect him to accept 15?

Can the bottom line be breached?

"Let's do it quickly! I finally made up my mind, don't let B Publishing House take the lead in the end!" Fan Huacheng urged again.

He Ying reacted, hurriedly agreed, and immediately went out to inform the author.

So, when he came back from school that afternoon, Lin Feng, who was concerned about the other party's reply, was on the computer and saw the other party's third offer-14.

Seeing this number, Lin Feng smiled.

This number has exceeded Lin Feng's psychological bottom line, in fact, Lin Feng quoted 15 before, and he did a good job of the other party's counteroffer to 12, so he always has to negotiate with Gaoli, so that after the other party counteroffers, he can still meet his psychological expectations.

But the other party did not bargain to 12, but 14, which made Lin Feng see the other party's bottom line, which was definitely not 14. So, Lin Feng replied again.

At least 15!"

Then, more than an hour later, the other party's reply came.

"Okay!15 is 15, but we have to complete the signing tomorrow morning, and then you send us the manuscripts of the first two episodes, and we will immediately arrange proofreading and typesetting!" The next morning, Lin Feng printed out the electronic version of the contract sent by the other party, signed it, and sent it out, and then sorted out the manuscripts of the first two episodes and sent them over.

And on the side of e publishing house, finally signed the book, Fan Huacheng and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, just got the manuscript of the first two episodes, Fan Huacheng read the second episode of the manuscript for the first time, after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and finally showed a smile on his tense face.

The quality of the second episode is not below the first episode, and even the excitement is still superior.

That's fine, he doesn't believe that such a wonderful book will not be liked by readers? As for whether he will have to fight a copyright lawsuit? First become famous and make money, as long as the first two episodes have just been released, just come to the lawsuit.

Not long after E Publishing House signed the book "Infinite Killing", C Publishing House got the news, just like E Publishing House has acquaintances in C Publishing House, C Publishing House naturally has sources in E Publishing House, and among peers, if there is no channel to understand the opponent's information at all, then there is no need to mix.

Editor-in-chief Zhang, who received the news, raised his drooping eyelids, snorted with a sneer, and said nothing, no one could see what he was thinking in his heart.

……

The matter of publishing was solved, and Lin Feng's life returned to calm, taking classes every day, practicing boxing, singing, and coding, occasionally playing guitar with Ariel Lin after dinner, and occasionally, when Ariel Lin went to the piano room to practice, he would also pull him.

Lin Feng finally uploaded the book "Infinite Killing" to Singularity, and when it was uploaded, no one knew about it, and it was transmitted with more than 12,200 words at one time.

After uploading it, I said to my editor-in-charge.

As the platinum writer of the website and one of the few powerful generals under Brother Tian, Jiang Shan still attaches great importance to Lin Feng, as soon as he learned the news. Just use the text message on the station to notify Lin Feng that he can sign the contract, and let him just update and recommend the arrangement, and leave it to him.

Lin Feng had never received such treatment before, but now he can enjoy it. An author who is valued by the editor can become popular. If you can't be seen by editors, even if you have the ability to write a good work, if you can't get a high-quality recommendation on the website, you will be half-dead at most.

You don't see, all the authors who have been popular in Qidian. Is there a website that hasn't been heavily praised?

Authors can decide the quality of their work, editors may not make you popular, but they can definitely determine how popular you can be!

After telling the editor, Lin Feng said it again in his book fan group. The book fans in the group who saw this news were in a commotion, and most of them immediately went to the singularity to find a new book with morning seals and falling leaves.

When I see that the classification of works is fantasy, there is no reader who does not read fantasy themes.

Authors, write about their favorite fantasy, is there anything more wonderful than that? These readers are overjoyed.

For the vast majority of readers who don't particularly like history or fantasy, this subject matter is okay, you can click on it and take a look, as long as the story is good, you can still follow it.

The popularity of the old author's new book in the early stage mainly depends on whether his old readers support it or not.

If you can catch the original old readers in the first place, then the popularity of this new book in the early stage will soon rise, otherwise, it will be dangerous.

Because for old authors, it is much more difficult to gather popularity by attracting new readers than new authors.

Because of the new author's work, the first thing all readers see is whether the title of the book is right for their own appetite, and then the introduction, a little picky, and whether the cover of the work is good or not.

Three aspects touched the hearts of readers, most readers will click in to see how the content is, regardless of whether the content of the story can retain readers, at least, the number of clicks in the early stage has risen, and the data will look much better.

But for an old author, the old book fans who have accumulated in the past don't buy it, and the new readers who come later, seeing you as an old author, the clicks and recommendation votes are so bleak, so no matter what type of book you have, what title, what introduction, or even put a lot of *** on the cover, the first impression of new readers is that this book is not good, and the previous fans don't read it, and the book is definitely not good!

This is also the main reason why many great gods are sinking into the sand and swooping into the streets when they are transforming and turning to other themes.

Luckily. Lin Feng's "Infinite Killing", when meeting with old readers, did not disappoint people at the first time, almost all old readers clicked on the content of the book and began to read it.

Most books, only looking at the first 10,000 words, you can't see how good or bad it is. It's hard to make the reader feel so amazed and liked after reading such a braille word.

It is difficult for even the best writer to do this, because the number of words is too small, and many things cannot be explained in such a short space.

But this "Infinite Killing" is different, in the first 12,200 words, the protagonist Meng Fei has followed the mercenaries of the umbrella company into the brood laboratory. The storyline has advanced to the Death Laser Corridor.

This short period of more than 12,000 words has given readers too many surprises.

A new theme, a new but extremely surprising setting, a step-by-step killing atmosphere, a mysterious main god, a brain-opening reincarnation world, and a never-ending horror reincarnation?

Almost all readers who saw the beginning of this book were shocked, this is an unprecedented divine idea!

Such a classic setting, creativity. Why hasn't anyone thought of it before?

The seemingly incredible, but seemingly real world of reincarnation, has entered the movie world of "Resident Evil 1......

For readers who have watched this classic zombie movie, the sense of substitution in this book is too strong, and every scene can be imagined in their minds, as if they are there.

For those who haven't seen the film, there are more surprises, everything is new.

Thereupon. After reading this opening, many readers couldn't suppress their excitement and flocked to the book review area to write their reading feelings.

Countless words of praise were given to this book without hesitation, and the author was given a morning seal of fallen leaves.

Especially those old readers who have been waiting for the new book of morning sealing and falling leaves, their hearts are full of excitement and joy, waiting for such a long time. It's all worth it!

One after another, the rewards were smashed down by the excited readers, so many readers came here. was shocked to see that this new book is obviously only 12,000 words, but there are already helmsmen, deacons, and disciples on the fan list, and the top ten fans are actually the lowest disciples.

Looking at the release time of this book, it is only less than half an hour!

What's even more eye-popping is that every time you refresh the page, there will be more brand-new tips, most of which are from 18888's point coins, but occasionally there are relatively large tips, and you can see a reward of hundreds of thousands of points from time to time.

Finally, in the midst of a snowflake tip, a 1 million singularity coin tip appeared.

The bright red font made everyone notice it at the first time.

1 million points, that's going straight to the position of the leader of the Silver Alliance! Many old readers think that the undead ** master has made a move, and everyone has the impression that among the fans of the morning seal and falling leaves, the most willing to reward is the undead ** master, but, after a closer look, everyone found that it is not.

It's a strange reader named ゙_詪瞇茫.

……

Before noon, after sending the finished contract to Singularity, Lin Feng returned to the study, and when he turned on the computer, he saw such a hot scene.

As soon as 12,000 words were transmitted, in just one morning, the leader of the alliance appeared? There were also two members of the Silver Alliance? There were also the Golden Alliance and the Billion Alliance?

On the fan list on the homepage, the one with the lowest fan value is also the leader of the alliance, which shows that the beginning of his book is at least a surprise to readers, so it's good!

Thinking about it, Lin Feng called up the manuscript again, passed another chapter, and wrote at the end of the chapter (add more for the alliance leaders of this book!)
