Chapter 157: The Sorrow of Becoming a Writer

Lin Qingyi asked in his typical Taiwanese accent: "I want to ask, Wuji, what type of story do you plan to write in your next book?" ”

"Xianxia Xiuzhen novel." Tong Yan said succinctly.

"Oh, yes, yes, this kind of novel is also very marketable in Taiwan," Lin Qingyi said with a smile, as long as it is not a particularly niche book, he is interested, "Do you have any thoughts on the publication of this book?" ”

"Of course, I will distribute the book www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion first, and then I will see the price you give, whoever has the highest price, I will cooperate with whomever I want."

Tong Yan bluntly made Lin Qingyi a little uncomfortable, "We have been working together for so long, we all know each other, and we all have feelings." ”

"Feelings belong to feelings, if everyone quotes the same price, I will definitely consider Xinchang first." Tong Yan promised.

"That's good, that's good, I think you can try to start with traditional Chinese, which will definitely be good for the sales of the novel." Lin Qingyi built yì road.

"I'll consider this." Tong Yandao,In fact, it's not a big deal to start traditional Chinese,There are many people who do this in the www.biquge.info of Biquge,The online subscription of the www.biquge.info of the Biquge and Taiwan's traditional physical books are two sales systems that do not affect each other,And the impact of traditional physical books on online subscriptions is far less than the impact of online updates on physical books,This kind of thing is done。

"I don't know how much your new book has been written now, if it's convenient, we can talk about the price now." Lin Qingyi said again.

The outline and setting Tong Yan wrote more than 20,000 words, and he hasn't finished writing yet, as for the beginning, Tong Yan only wrote more than 30,000 words, and Tong Yan told the truth.

"In this way, I don't know if I can send these 30,000 words to me to see, I can make the decision to guarantee that the price of the new book will not be less than 120 thousand words."

Lin Qingyi is still a little conservative, with the sales of "Rage Thunder", it is actually worth 200 words per thousand. But he will not immediately call Tong Yan's new book to more than 200 words per thousand, who knows whether his new book can really match the taste of Taiwanese readers, he must read it before he can make a judgment.

"Okay, no problem, I'll send it to you in the evening, I hope the cooperation is pleasant." Tong Yan hung up the phone. He felt that it was time to help the new book find a traditional buyer, if the publisher of "Furious Thunder" was replaced by Xian Xian and Shuo Pin, the sales would definitely be more than 3000, and his income would definitely exceed 200 thousand words, but at the beginning, he was in urgent need of money, and he had no capital and conditions to talk about the frequency, so he naturally chose to give money to Xinchang, who simply asked for less, but now he is not short of money, and he must hope to maximize the benefits. At this time, it will be a good choice to choose a share with slow settlement but high income.

Tong Yan walked out of the toilet, at this time, in a certain cubicle, Duan Hou put on his pants, his eyes were cloudy, it seemed that he was going to release a new book, and he was negotiating with the publishing house, it seemed that his tone was still very hard, could he really be so good. No, I'm going to hurry up and write my "Flower Season Honey". Now that this book has ranked 298th on the new book list, he is confident that he will break into the top 50, and Duan Hou may not know what the status of the new book list 50 is now.

Compared with Duan Hou, Zhou Hao, who has rich experience in reading online novels, is much luckier, although the transformation theme he chooses is a niche in the niche, and there are very few readers. But at the same time, it also means that there are fewer people to write, less competition, and basically every novel of this type will be patronized by good readers, so his "Transformation Era" entered the top 100 of the new book list a week after the book was released, and threw out "Flower Season Honey" I don't know how many streets. But compared to other novels, it's too much worse.

"Transformation Era" and "Honey in the Flower Season" have a common problem, that is, the update is slow, they are all students, and the only time they can use is the time after school at night, and there is also the supervision of their parents around them, it is difficult to create as much as Tong Yan like, almost all of them are one more a day or two days, and there are only two or three thousand words in a chapter.

Zhou Hao is also luckier than Duan Hou in that there are many book reviews in the book review area of his novels that discuss the plot, and there are more reminders, which shows that his books have been recognized by readers.

After writing, Zhou Hao opened the book review area, ready to exchange a few words with readers, when the door of the study opened, and the focused Zhou Hao didn't notice that his mother was already standing behind him.

"Hey, what are you doing, why don't you sleep yet!"

"Huh? Mom, I'm ......" Zhou Hao was startled and slurred his speech.

"Reading a novel?" Zhou's mother asked, she knew that her son liked to read novels, she didn't restrict him too much, they belonged to a more enlightened family, and adopted a free-range policy for her son, "But you should go to bed so late, you know?" ”

"Mom, actually, I don't read novels, I'm writing novels." Zhou Hao has a very good relationship with his parents, and he can almost know everything, so he didn't hide it, and he can use the computer to write more novels in the future.

"Huh? Are you sure! Zhou's mother almost jumped up with joy, "I knew that your son, you have literary talent, and your father and I want to train you to become a great writer, what is the name of what you write." ”

Zhou Hao pointed to the title of the book on the page, "It's called "Transformation Era". ”

"Okay, it's too late today, I'll watch tomorrow, son, you can sleep too." Zhou's mother thought it was the kind of transformation of the Saiyan super transformation, although she was not very interested, but she definitely wanted to cheer for it.

The next day, Zhou's mother met someone in her company and said, "My son has written a novel." "Alas, you can't study, that's all you can do." The tone was full of pride, when the computer was turned on, Zhou's mother quickly searched for the transformation era, and saw that Zhou's mother's face was a little unnatural, she had a bad premonition, when she read not much of the text, Zhou's mother's face turned white, because Zhou Hao's first person, Zhou's mother saw "my" experience, the first thing that came to mind was his son, when her employee asked Zhou Hao's book what the name was, Zhou's mother just didn't say it.

"Husband, I've long been worried that my son is so beautiful and delicate, what if he likes a man, I didn't expect him to really have this kind of thought," Zhou's mother sighed and cried in her husband's arms, "Look at what he wrote, he said that he became a girl, he was very beautiful, with long legs and big breasts, and the brothers in their original bedroom still liked him and wanted to pursue him, my son......"

While Zhou's mother was worried about her son's sexual orientation, Tong Yan had already seen Lin Qingyi's offer, the price of 150 thousand words was half higher than that of "Raging Thunder", and the manuscript fee for each volume was almost 10,000, which was equivalent to selling 2,500 copies (about 40 yuan per volume, 60,000 words, and 10% of the share).

Xinchang's editors are not very optimistic about this new book, the quality of the book is no problem, only 30,000 words of text and part of the outline can be seen that Tong Yan Wuji's skills have improved compared with the previous book, character building and narrative techniques have improved, but I am afraid it is not the type that Taiwanese readers like, at least it is not the mainstream of Taiwan's book market, but with the name of Tong Yan Wuji's young genius writer and the popularity accumulated by the previous work, it should not be a problem to sell 2500 copies, and if you are lucky, you may be able to reach 3000, but it is unlikely to exceed "Raging Thunder".

Tong Yan was naturally unwilling, his expectation was 200 words per thousand, which was the same as "Raging Thunder", and Lin Qingyi's offer could not satisfy him.

At this time, he had already made contact with Xianxian, Shuopin, Hetu, Adventurer's Paradise, etc., and attached a 30,000-word text, although everyone's rule is to vote 60,000 words first, but for Tong Yan Wuji, an author who has already become famous, of course, it is another matter, they all hope to retain Tong Yan, a mainland author who is very popular in the young reader market, and his name as a young writer is still worth a few dollars, and although he is a high school student, he has never dragged the manuscript in the cooperation with Xinchang, and his professionalism is trustworthy. It is also famous in circles.

Hetu directly gave the price of 180 thousand words, and they didn't even need to read the manuscript, although they were pitted by "Beast Blood Boiling", but they still have confidence in Tong Yan, Adventurer Paradise is willing to provide a minimum of 150 thousand words, and a maximum of 250 manuscript fees for 1,000 words, but you need to read the manuscript first, and the buyout text is to see the quality and market prospects.

Xian Xian and Shuo Frequency are willing to share with Tong Yan Wuji, they don't have any requirements for manuscripts, anyway, they are all divided, and Shuo Frequency also proposed that the sales volume should be 6000 copies, divided into 10%, more than 6000 copies, divided into 13%, and 13% of the manuscript fee is a big pie painted in the sky, but Tong Yan is really greedy...... (To be continued......)
