In addition to the staff of Chunwen Publishing House, there were also personnel of the public relations company responsible for the publicity and distribution of "Zhu Xian", representatives of several large distributors, and some media friends who usually have a good relationship and were specially invited this time.

The celebration banquet adopts the mode of buffet, cold and hot meals are placed on the long table, everyone holds wine or drinks, chats and exchanges feelings in twos and threes, business cards are sprinkled out like flowing water, cooked can become more familiar, unfamiliar can become cooked, and a lot of business and cooperation are negotiated at this kind of dinner.

Most of the people attending the meeting were people related to "Zhu Xian", so the appearance of the young couple Zhou Lin and Xu Yunyue at the celebration banquet made many people feel strange.

Although Zhou Lin has a calmness and composure that are rare for young people, Xu Yunyue knows at a glance that she is a girl who has not experienced social baptism. The two of them stood together and said that they could shoot idol dramas, but they couldn't go together with this celebration banquet.

However, no one went over to ask, because they soon found out that the old man who was accompanying the little couple turned out to be Yang Muxia.

Yang Muxia has a great reputation in the cultural circle, not only because he is the editor-in-chief of the supplement of "Culture Daily", the largest newspaper in China, but also because he is a professor at the Faculty of Arts of Pingjing University, and he also has great influence in the field of literary criticism.

Let's put it this way, Yang Muxia's praise of a good writing may not necessarily increase the sales of this book, but if Yang Muxia scolds a book for being badly written, then the book must not sell well.

And Yang Muxia's personality is very eccentric, and ordinary people can't handle it, so everyone deliberately keeps their distance.

It's just that when they saw Yang Muxia, who had a strange temperament, actually talking and laughing with Zhou Lin, they felt that this combination was really a little incomprehensible.

After the celebration banquet for a while, when many people found out that even Liu Wenhu was very enthusiastic about Zhou Lin, they became even more curious, and couldn't help but ask each other what Zhou Lin's origin was.

After the celebration banquet, after three rounds of food and five flavors, when everyone was looking for a small circle to chat, Zhou Lin, Liu Wenhu and Yang Muxia sat together.

Liu Wenhu personally brought wine to Zhou Lin and Yang Muxia, and gently clinked glasses and said: "Today's press conference is very successful, and the order situation of "Zhu Xian" is also very good, let's have a toast, I wish this book can be popular, and the more it sells, the better!"

"Best wishes. Zhou Lin raised his glass and drank it all.

Yang Muxia took a sip of wine and said: "Drinking such a good wine at the celebration banquet, it seems that this book has made a lot of money, and the old man is very hot." ”

Liu Wenhu laughed and said: "Professor Yang, you are joking, if you are willing to give us your column in the supplement of "Culture Daily" for publication in the Spring Collection, I will give you the highest royalty in the industry, if you are willing, I will sign a contract with you now!"

"Forget it, I take the salary and manuscript fee of "Culture Daily", as well as the salary of Pingjing University, and I am not short of this money. "Yang Muxia is just talking.

After drinking the celebration wine, the topic turned formal, and Zhou Lin said: "Mr. Liu, Professor Yang has some ideas about this chivalrous award, I want to hear your opinion." ”

After listening to Yang Muxia talk about the Best Newcomer Award at the Chivalry Awards, Liu Wenhu patted his thigh and said: "Yes, if Mr. Zhu can win the Best Newcomer Award, it will definitely have a big boost to the sales of "Zhu Xian". I used to think ......"

He stopped a little awkwardly in the middle of his words.

Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Mr. Liu thinks it's difficult for "Liancheng Jue" to win the long-form award, right? To be honest, it doesn't matter, I still have this resistance. ”

Liu Wenhu said with a smile: "To be honest, "Liancheng Jue" is very well written, but compared with Jin Rumeng Guo Weisi's works this year, it is comparable. The judges are generally familiar with each other, and you can't suppress them with your works, so you can only be suppressed by them when awarding, so I really don't have much hope that "Liancheng Jue" will win the award. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, he said: "But the newcomer award can really be fought for!"

Yang Muxia nodded and said: "Zhuyunfei's name is very popular in the martial arts circle, but the martial arts circle is a relatively closed circle, and the proportion of the entire literary world is not large, so there are still not many people in the literary world who know about Zhuyunfei." If you can win the Chivalry Award, this name can become louder in the literary world and attract greater attention, whether it is "Zhu Xian" or "Blasphemy" or "Celebrating More Than Years" in the future, it can be sold with the help of these attention and popularity. ”

Liu Wenhu agreed: "That's right. This matter is on me, there are a few people in the judges of the Knight's Award who are my friends, I will say hello to them, this newcomer award guarantees not to run!"

"In fact, as long as the judges are fair and impartial, the quality of "Liancheng Jue" is there, and there is no doubt about winning the award. Yang Muxia added.

Liu Wenhu said: "I understand, I understand." ”

Zhou Lin listened to them planning there, and thought to himself that the affairs of cultural people are indeed operated in the dark, which is no different from other industries, and is even more hypocritical and high-sounding.

After Liu Wenhu and Yang Muxia finished chatting, he turned his head to Zhou Lin and said: "Mr. Zhu, "Zhu Xian" is in short supply now, we received the first batch of orders of 50,000 copies, and the first printing is only 40,000 copies, so I plan to start printing it immediately." What do you think?"

Zhou Lin said: "Just let Mr. Liu decide on the matter of printing, if you have any questions about the contract, you can contact my lawyer Wang Xiaotian, and he will finalize the details with Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Wenhu nodded and said, "Okay." There is another thing, the two copies of "Blasphemy" and "Celebrating More Than Years", please also leave it to us Chunwen to publish, the royalties are the same as "Zhu Xian", the first printing is changed to 50,000 copies, how about it?"

Zhou Lin smiled: "There is no problem on my side, let the legal counsel of your company talk to my lawyer about the contract." ”

"Okay!" Liu Wenhu was overjoyed.

The sales situation of "Zhu Xian" exceeded Liu Wenhu's expectations, making Chunwen Publishing House make a lot of money.

If Zhou Lin can win the Best Newcomer Award for Chivalry this time, when the time comes, he will launch "Zhu Xian", "Blasphemy" and "Celebrating More Than Years" while the iron is hot, and it will not be a dream to make a lot of money at that time.

Liu Wenhu has already made up his mind, he must seize Zhou Lin's cash cow!

Zhou Lin was calculating.

"Zhu Xian" was reprinted, "Blasphemy" and "Celebrating More Than Years" were sold, and the royalty deposit and first edition share of the three books could add up to more than one million.

Coupled with some of the previous deposits, the one million deposit of "Wulin Gaiden", the hundreds of thousands earned by "Three Kingdoms", and the royalties of the single novel of "Liancheng Jue" are more than 200,000, and the daily income of the game network is 20,000, and now Zhou Lin can use about 3 million.

It seems that he will soon be able to make up enough for four million, Zhou Lin thought with some anticipation.
