Chapter Ninety-Two: Tears of the Blue Devil
As soon as Fang Zhongzhi finished speaking, Wang Can, the editor who had been reporting on the "youth" type, also said at this time, "Editor-in-chief, a certain editor once said that he no longer wants to work in our Crescent Publishing House. I just want to mix up the salary for a few months, drag it until the end of the year, and then jump to other publishing houses. ”
"Wang Can, don't spew blood."
Gao Zhangtian turned his head and looked at Wang Can coldly.
"Gao Zhangtian, I didn't say you, what are you doing so excited, are you really a ghost in your heart."
"Hmph, Wang Can, you didn't say why I would answer after the editor-in-chief finished speaking. Ming people don't do dark things, and they don't even have this bit of courage, and you still want to calculate others. Also, who doesn't know that when you were playing for Xiao Qiang, you secretly blacked out against Xiao Qiang. Otherwise, the person in charge of the youth type will not be your turn. ”
Gao Zhangtian ridiculed each other and directly called Wang Can's name.
"You, Gao Zhangtian, when did I hack Xiao Qiang, you will make it clear."
"You know whether you have a black hand or not."
"Okay, good, good, Gao Zhangtian, I know you have always looked at me unpleasantly, then, the editor-in-chief also asked you just now, you haven't recommended a single work for publication in the past two months, don't you want to mix what the salary is?"
"Wang Can, did you ask me, or did the editor-in-chief ask me?"
"Of course the editor-in-chief asked you."
"Since it's the editor-in-chief who asked me, what qualifications do you have to interject, could it be that you want to take the position of editor-in-chief."
"Gao Zhangtian, you ......"
Wang Can wanted to say more, but when he saw the editor-in-chief staring at him, he quickly shut up.
"Editor-in-chief, I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now."
Seeing Wang Can shut up, Gao Zhangtian was overjoyed, but he still explained to the editor-in-chief, "In fact, the reason why I haven't recommended works for publication in the past two months is not because I'm lazy, let alone because I want to mix my salary." It's just that I've found that the major genres have been relatively weak recently, and there aren't too many excellent works. This is especially true of our paranormal types. I've tried to recommend a few works before, but the results are not good. Although it can be regarded as a sale, it now seems that the previous works are a waste of the company's publishing resources. For this reason, in the past two months, I have been seriously looking for some potential authors, hoping to release a work that is quite classic. ”
"Oh, then, have you found it now?"
"Found it. Editor-in-chief, I recently found a work called A Chinese Ghost Story, which is very well written. I expect this work to sell at least 300,000 copies. ”
"Okay, you're working well on this work. However, the publishing house also has its own rules. You haven't released a new game for two months, and your performance has been at the bottom of the company. If this one doesn't show much performance, I think, you know ......."
"Editor-in-chief, I know. If this work does not perform, I will apply for resignation. ”
"Well, that's all for today's meeting, adjournment."
Nodding, Fang Zhongzhi glanced at Gao Zhangtian, and said again before leaving, "Gao Zhangtian, behave well, the company system is like this, and it's not that I want to force you." ”
"Editor-in-chief, I know, this work will definitely not disappoint you."
"That's good."
Patting Gao Zhangtian on the shoulder, Fang Zhongzhi left the conference room.
……
"Zhang Tian, are you really planning to resign?"
At the end of the meeting, all the editors left separately, and "Hu Ming", who had a good relationship with Gao Zhangtian, pulled Gao Zhangtian aside and whispered.
"Hu Ming, when did I say I was going to resign?"
"Didn't you just say that?"
"Damn, just now I just said that if A Chinese Ghost Story doesn't show any performance, I'll resign."
"It's not the same."
"Uh...... Hu Ming, are you so optimistic about me? ”
"Alas, Zhang Tian, it's not that I don't think I'm optimistic about you, but the supernatural type is like this. Originally, this type of work was niche, and there were no particularly prominent characters. Although Zhang Yun is the number one, Zhang Yun is not ranked in the public field and has no influence. So, this type has been getting worse and worse. I haven't watched your A Chinese Ghost Story, but it's probably a newcomer's work. No matter how well a newcomer's work is written, I'm afraid the sales will not be ideal. ”
"I want to resign when you say it, but don't worry, this work is really classic, and I'm very optimistic about him. By the way, don't ridicule me, the type of martial arts you're responsible for isn't necessarily any better. You have to be careful of that Wang Can, this guy is in charge of the most popular youth at the moment. No matter how badly written this type of work is, it will completely explode our supernatural and martial arts. I'm afraid that when, this guy will also wear small shoes for you. ”
"Wang Can, I'll be careful. However, Brother Zhang Tian, I'm sorry for the words just now, it's not that I want to ridicule you. Just want you to be a little more prepared and not hang yourself from a tree. I advise you, if you really don't have much chance in the new moon, hurry up and change to the next one. With your experience in publishing for a few years, any other publishing house is rushing to ask for it. ”
"Thank you, brother, I remember. However, I can't go to any other publisher right now. I've been in Crescent for five years, and I'm feeling emotional. Besides, I've always believed in my own vision. ”
"In that case, Brother Zhang Tian, I wish the work you recommended will sell well and blow up the youth that Wang Can is responsible for."
"Forget about blowing up your youth, I don't have such high expectations."
The two encouraged each other and left.
……
"Hello, A Chinese Ghost Story is a very well written work, and we at Crescent Moon Publishing House have agreed to publish it. However, because you are a newcomer, the publisher is only willing to give 7% royalties, and if there is no problem with such a contract, then, we can sign it now. This is my TT number, I can communicate on the TT number in the future. ”
The next day, Huang Yifan received a reply from the editor of the New Moon Publishing House, Hongdou.
added the other party's TT number, and Huang Yifan agreed to publish.
Although the royalty is only 7%, Huang Yifan did not bargain with them.
Now you are just a newcomer, one is not famous, the other is not qualified, what capital do you have to bargain with them.
Only when your work sells a certain amount and your pen name has a certain popularity, you don't need Huang Yifan to increase the price, the other party will immediately add it to you.
didn't think much about it, after signing a publishing contract with Crescent Publishing House, Huang Yifan continued to write.
I wrote 20,000 words before, and according to the simplified Chinese publishing regulations, the number of words in a book is about 200,000, so there are still 180,000 words.
Of course, the TV version of A Chinese Ghost Story is not only 180,000 words, although Huang Yifan has not yet written it, but it will be at least a long story of about 1 million words, and now it is just a matter of writing the number of words in the first volume. Of course, due to market considerations, publishers won't let you write millions of words all at once. Most of the time, it is to push a volume first to see the situation, and if it sells well, then add the number of copies and continue to write. If it doesn't sell well, I'm sorry, cut it in half.
For these, Huang Yifan also knows that although it is cruel, writing is like this.
Do you think it's so easy to be a literati and a writer?
Now that he has embarked on the road of no return to writing, Huang Yifan will not complain, so he can only redouble his efforts.
Tears of the Blue Devil.
Although the TV series version of A Chinese Ghost Story does not have Leslie Cheung's version of A Chinese Ghost Story classic, it is also very profound about love words.
The Tears of the Blue Devil is a tear-destroying allusion in A Chinese Ghost Story.
The Blue Devil is the most beautiful woman in the Yin Moon Dynasty, but the Demon Realm has never been ruthless. Until, a man named Zhuge Qingtian came to the demon world. He let the Blue Devil know what love is and what love is. It's just a pity that humans and demons have always been opposed, and humans and demons can't love each other. When Zhuge Qingtian just wanted to see the blue devil, he finally died at the hands of the demons. The blue devil shed pale blue tears, and the tears merged with the blood of the lover and turned into a pale blue bead, which was called the Blue Devil's Tears.
It is said that as long as two people who truly love each other are together, holding the Blue Devil Tears, and when one person says the words "I love you" to the other, the "Blue Devil Tears" will glow beautifully......
The heroine of the story, Nie Xiaoqian, came to the world with the tears of the blue devil who could measure true love, and met Ning Caichen.
The story slowly opens.
Huang Yifan has not read the script of the TV version of A Chinese Ghost Story, but it doesn't matter to Huang Yifan whether there is a script or not. He only recreates these classic scenes according to the moments that moved him in his memory. A voice in his heart told him that as long as he caught the love words in A Chinese Ghost Story, then this novel would be considered a success.
