Chapter Seventy-Six: Lyrics Contest
To solve this problem, Zheng Long's strength alone will definitely not work, and he must use his current connections. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zheng Long first thought of Xiao Hongda...
When he called Xiao Hongda, Xiao Hongda was eating fruit, but he didn't have time to wipe his hands, so he hurried to answer Zheng Long's call...
After all, the current Zheng Long can be regarded as the cash cow of their publishing house. You must know that in just one place, "Phantom City" has sold 280,000 copies, and this number is still increasing. It's just that because the volume of the island is really limited, the subsequent increase is not as large as before, and the speed has slowed down. But in any case, the sale of 280,000 copies on the island is simply a miracle in the publishing industry in recent years...
Further back, it may not be until the era of hardcore writers like Gu Long, Yishu or Zhang Xiaoxian that there will be such sales. Nowadays, those writers who can sell 350,000 copies are almost daring to call themselves best-selling authors, and they dare to say that their books are selling well...
Xiao Hongda picked up Zheng Long's phone and said:
"Zheng Long, I have already sent you the manuscript fee for your second issue, this issue has more than 100,000 yuan, and your books are still selling..."
Zheng Long was naturally very happy when he heard that the book was selling well, but this time his purpose was not to sell books, so he said straight to the point:
"Mr. Xiao, my next book has also been written, I don't know when you can help me take a look, review and review, if you can, I hope to publish a traditional version in your company."
Xiao Hongda was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed:
"Okay, okay, we can talk about the specific royalty points in detail, you must give me the copyright! I've heard that some companies such as Crescent Culture also want to contact you, but I wonder if they have found you..."
Zheng Long said:
"They haven't found me for the time being, and it is estimated that they have done a good job of secrecy, and they also think that the mainland is very large, perhaps because they are afraid that they will not find me... Haha..."
Xiao Hongda breathed a sigh of relief, after all, several other publishing houses are bigger than their own, and their marketing methods are also richer, if they publish Zheng Long's book, I really don't know how many copies will be sold, but it is definitely more than 280,000 copies...
"However, Mr. Xiao, I have a reluctant request here, I don't know if Mr. Xiao can help me..."
When Xiao Hongda heard this, he immediately became serious and said:
"Just say, as long as it's within my ability, I'll find a way for you to do it."
"Yes, I want to set up my own studio, I can run some of my favorite magazines for my peers, and I have already got the name and the qualifications of the studio... The problem now is that I can't find a publisher to give me a number..."
Xiao Hongda didn't expect Zheng Long to trouble him with this question, so he said:
"Oh, that's a tricky question... If you want to run a magazine on Wanwan Island, I can help you get the news bureau with just one sentence, but in the Huaxia mainland, I really can't help you... But don't worry, I'll help you think of a way, I still have some friends in the publishing industry in mainland China, I'll help you ask how they are. By the way, if you want to be affiliated with a publishing house, where do you want to hang it? ā
Zheng Long hurriedly said:
"If you can, it's better to be in Xiacheng..."
Siu Hongda Says:
"Well, okay, I'll say hello for you. Xiacheng City is indeed a good choice, close to where you live, the transportation is relatively convenient, and it is not far from the bend, and it is convenient to contact us..."
"Well, that's what I thought about too, originally, if I wanted to run a magazine, it would be nothing more than going to the capital or going to the sea to be listed. But I'm still a student, and I can't afford to do this, so I'll have to settle for the next best thing, and I'll assign someone else to handle it..."
"Hmm... Okay, then I'll let you know if there's a result..."
"Okay, I've thanked Mr. Xiao here..."
"Where, you helped me make so much money, I should thank you more..."
Zheng Long hung up the phone, and the whole person lay on the bed.
Extremely bored, he simply turned on the TV at the bedside and watched it bored...
TV in 2001, variety shows are still very boring, Nanhu Satellite TV, which has become a variety show giant in later generations, is still showing the primary version of "Happy Camp", and the host Li Xiang is still a slender cute girl in it...
Zheng Long changed many channels, but he didn't have a favorite TV program, so he simply watched local programs...
This local program uses the dialect of Pucheng City, and it is broadcast with some bullshit, although it is quite boring, but it looks very kind, either the old Wang family lost a dog, or the little uncle of Aunt Sun's family and the girl in the dance hall are not indiscriminate, or the diligent girl is poor and drops out of school at home...
Suddenly, Zheng Long saw a rather interesting news.
"Hosted by Pucheng Radio Station, Supernova Lyrics Contest, we sincerely invite you to participate."
"As long as you are over 12 years old Pucheng residents, you can participate in the competition, the final venue will be held at the Pucheng Grand Theater, you can submit lyrics, we will have professional musicians to produce songs for you, complete your music dreams!"
Finally, of course, we have to announce the awards, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to arouse everyone's interest.
"The competition is sponsored by the well-known brand Xuejin Beer in Pucheng, and the winners of the first prize, second prize and third prize can respectively receive a 7-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, a bonus of 3,000 yuan, and a bonus of 1,000 yuan."
After Zheng Long finished reading it, he jumped up from the bed almost immediately.
Seriously, these bonuses are not much for him now, but the first prize of the new Malaysia Thai tour is too attractive to him!
Why? Because he is filial! Zheng Long has always wanted Qian Lizhen and Zheng Nanxing to travel abroad, but according to their personalities, if they spend their own money, they will not go anyway.
Therefore, if they can win the first prize, then they will have no excuses!
Zheng Long pondered the advertisement carefully, and waited for it to be replayed again before he wrote down how it signed up.
It turned out that the registration location was at the Today's Bar next to Phoenix Mountain Square in Pucheng. This bar is also a well-known bar in Pucheng, and many well-known singers in Pucheng have made their name in this bar.
Zheng Long knocked on his head, thought about the repertoire for a long time, and still had no inspiration, although he had more and more pop hits after 2001 in his head, but he was really not sure which one was more in line with the taste of the people of Pucheng in 2001...
