Four days after Chen Chen finished writing "The Legend of Wukong", the "Phantom City" serialized on Yilian's blog has become a big hit, with nearly 1,000 comments on this day, and even Yu Sheng, the webmaster of Yilian's blog, has also paid attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The traffic in the past two days has suddenly more than doubled compared to the usual period, and these people are all going to "Phantom City", it seems that they have to prepare a backup server as soon as possible, just in case."

Yu Sheng is a person who does what he says, and he was ready that afternoon.

Although he had expected it, just after eight o'clock in the evening, the traffic rose gradually, and if you count it carefully, it is two percentage points more, two percentage points, and 10,000 people watch it at the same time, usually reading an article at the same time, but 2,000 people are even more, and now, 10,000 people are watching at the same time, or the same article, this is the rhythm of fire.

"In the future, we must envelop the author of this article." Yu Sheng made up his mind, "Then, since this article is read by so many people, I don't recommend it to the homepage, even if the author doesn't say it, I believe there are many people who will ask for this." ”

"Victory or defeat, just between this move, the fire, I left the blog, destroyed, and there is no blog name again."

Now Chen Chen didn't know that the article he uploaded on Yilian's blog had become popular, and he had also decided on the question of whether the blog would stay or not, he was on his way to a publishing house at the moment, just yesterday, he contacted the largest publishing house in Pingnan Province, Shangyangcheng County, Yunmengze Publishing House, and made an appointment to discuss matters today.

Each county of the Zhongyang Empire has a very famous publishing house - Zhongyang Imperial Publishing House, which is the top publishing house designated by the state, and then there are only three publishing houses in each county and province, because the publishing houses between provinces are also fiercely competitive, and the three publishing houses in the province are even more so.

Zhongyang Imperial Publishing House only publishes the works of the Imperial Writers' Association, as well as some books that sell very well, as well as political books issued by the state and school books, which is already destined to be dominant, but because it is an empire, it is higher than the rest of the publishing houses in terms of status.

Chen Chen is in Pingnan Province, and there are regulations on publishing works, which province can only be sent to the publishing house of that province, otherwise it is a violation of the law and a violation of the law, and in Pingnan Province, the best one at present is Yunmengze Publishing House, followed by Tianzhiya Publishing House and Luoshui Nianhua Publishing House.

These are all collected by Chen Chen from the Internet, Zhongyang Empire has a strong sense of protection of intellectual property rights, and when the United States has not yet had this awareness, it has formed a complete set of scale, and now the United States is using similar to the empire.

The Zhongyang Empire has been deeply rooted, not only for the Chinese, but also all over the world, there is a common consciousness, this is the strength of the world's largest country, no one dares to stop, no one stops!

"Excuse me, what floor is Su Zhengyang's editor-in-chief?"

Walking into Yunmengze Publishing House, what was printed into Chen Chen's eyelids was a waiter with a professional smile, wearing a dark blue professional costume, looking very energetic.

Yunmengze Publishing House, really extraordinary, just this glance made Chen Chen exclaim, quality, cultural image, company philosophy, all alluded to everywhere.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes."

"Turn left on the third floor for the second office."

"Thank you." Bidding farewell to the waiter who had been smiling professionally on the first floor, Chen Chen then stepped on the stairs and walked to a corner, where a man scolded and rushed down, almost colliding with Chen Chen.

"Look at what, boy." The man roared at Chen Chen, and then walked out without any scruples.

Chen Chen looked at the rushing figure of the man, shook his head helplessly, he was still praising this publishing house just now, and then a neurotic person appeared, unreasonable, but he didn't think much about it, and then walked up the stairs, and at the place of the stairs, there was a figure waiting for someone.

"You are Chen Chen." The figure was the first to ask.

"Yes, you're Editor-in-Chief Su, right?" Chen Chen asked with a questioning tone.

"I'm just, come, want something, drink or coffee?"

"Drinks are fine, thank you."

Su Zhengyang wears a pair of eyes, looks like a restrained person, but his face is very red, he looks like he has just quarreled fiercely with someone, and his voice is a little hoarse, but even so, he can still feel the mature temperament unique to some successful people.

"That person bumped into you just now, please bear with me." Su Zhengyang handed Chen Chen a glass of orange juice, his face was full of apologies, it seems that he has already read Chen Chen's manuscript to be like this, otherwise, if he has not seen the work, he will only be a teenager in sight, and what he says may be the same, but at least his attitude will be greatly reduced.

And it was Chen Chen's biography of Wukong that added a lot of points to Chen Chen's first impression.

"It's okay, who was that guy just now?"

"A colleague of mine, who is also an editor-in-chief, you know, has always had three editors-in-chief in publishing houses, one editor-in-chief of children's publications and literary histories, one editor-in-chief who only focuses on novel publishing, and one editor-in-chief of comics, and that person is the editor-in-chief of children's publications, and I am the editor-in-chief of novel publishing, and we hardly have anything to do with each other, but just half an hour before you came, he rushed into my office and made a big noise."

Speaking of this, Su Zhengyang winked at Chen Chen before saying, "And the reason why he is so out of shape is that you ......"

"Me?" Chen Chen was puzzled.

"Your "Legend of Wukong", to be exact."

It turned out that everything was caused by the "Legend of Wukong" sent by Chen Chen to the public mailbox of Yunmengze Publishing House yesterday morning, and regarding the characterization of this book, the president also held a special meeting to discuss the book, and the publication must be published, but which editor-in-chief will be published is a question.

Although it is a novel, the plot in it is also very suitable for children to read, for which the president specially asked Su Zhengyang to talk to the editor-in-chief of children's publications, the content is nothing more than reasonable, victory or defeat is common sense, grasp the tactics of psychological warfare, and finally let this "Wukong Biography" be published by the editor-in-chief of the novel, which made the editor-in-chief very unhappy, but because of the cultivation problem, he did not get angry after yesterday's meeting, and he did not express his strong position.

But today, the sudden gaffe made Su Zhengyang very boring, but Su Zhengyang could only persuade him that he would not give up this book no matter what, which led to the result of that person's anger, and the situation that Chen Chen was almost hit by that person as soon as he went upstairs.

The ins and outs of the story made Chen Chen listen to it secretly, the books left in that world are really worthy of being classics, and any novel that comes out will have such ability, it seems that I still underestimate it.

Chen Chen really showed the literary books of that world one by one with a strict mentality, at this time, it was the true portrayal of his heart, perhaps, he had vowed to publish the books of that world, but he didn't really recognize it, plus he had only read it alone, and he didn't have too many concepts, he only knew that the subject matter of the novel that this world did not have, so he was concerned, but at this moment, he knew that his future path had become clearer, that is, he was treated equally.

"I see." Chen Chen had to respond with a wry smile.

"It's nothing, I asked you to come today to see if you really want to publish this book?"

"Yes, I wrote it to be published, otherwise, I wouldn't have written it at all." If Chen Chen would definitely not say such conceited words in the past, but now, if he controls a planetary civilization and has no self-confidence, what is the difference between that and going back.

Su Zhengyang looked at Chen Chen in front of him, this young man was so calm and confident, he didn't know if he really had this kind of writing, or if he occasionally wrote such an article, but since he could write such a philosophical book, he was extremely talented.

"In that case, look at the book signing contract, is there any problem?"

Su Zhengyang handed the prepared agreement to Chen Chen, took it in his hand and read it one by one, there is no problem with the agreement, and the book sales dividend in the agreement is also 15%, a newcomer, generally the publishing house directly buys out, at most 10% of the dividend profit, and now Chen Chen is given 15% of the book sales dividend, this is a huge concession from Yunmengze Publishing House, it seems that they also attach great importance to this book.

"It's fine, but ......"

Su Zhengyang heard Chen Chen's previous words and his heart suddenly relaxed, as long as there is no problem, then everything is easy to say, but Chen Chen's last sentence made his heart sink suddenly, this young man, this Chen Chen is still dissatisfied, you must know that this agreement has given huge concessions, and if you don't know what to do, then ......

"You say." Although he thought about it, he still had a smile on his face, but he looked a little reluctant.

Chen Chen didn't seem to have an idea of Su Zhengyang's expression, he said slowly: "I have a request for profit dividends...... Seeing the smile on Su Zhengyang's face as if squeezed out, Chen Chen didn't care, and said to himself: "Regarding profit dividends, I think this is okay, if the book sales are less than one million copies, I don't want dividends, I don't want dividends, I don't want dividends, I sell books between one million and five million copies, I want 10% of the profits, and within five million to 10 million copies, I want 15% of the profits, And if the number of books sold reaches more than 10 million, I will share 20% of the profit. ”

Su Zhengyang's smile disappeared completely, and his face became solemn, this young man is so bold, where will he go in the future, Zhongyang Imperial Writers Association, this name suddenly burst into his mind.

Su Zhengyang was stunned for a while, "This, I need to ask the president." ”

Chen Chen didn't speak, only looked at him with his eyes, the light in his eyes flickered, making Su Zhengyang take a step back imperceptibly, "Okay, I admit it, I also have the right to make this decision." ”

"Editor-in-Chief Su, do you dare to make this bet with me?" In fact, Chen Chen was also apprehensive in his heart, this idea was only temporarily conceived, but this decision was so sudden, so abrupt that it made him appear at this moment, which made him feel bitter, but since the words had been spoken, he was relieved.

Even if you don't get a penny, you still contribute to this society, and the books of that world have also entered the threshold of the empire, which is a good start.

"Well, you win." Su Zhengyang wiped the beads of sweat from his face, took the agreement to the computer and printed it out, and the two signed their names, and the agreement was officially established.

"It's a pleasure to work with." The two laughed, Su Zhengyang laughed from the heart, this time, as long as the results of this book are not too bad, the publishing house will be the big winner, and his commission will be much higher.

However, Su Zhengyang really regarded Chen Chen as a person of his generation this time, this young man, he gambled when he said he would, signed when he said he would, did things competently, did not drag his feet, and also had that strong heart, if it weren't for him being able to write such an article, seeing others and feeling his own self-confidence, he would feel that the person in front of him was a fool, purely a big fool.

Chen Chen picked up a contract and asked, "I don't know when it will be published?" ”

"Generally within three months, I will try to publish it in two months, and the book will be published one day earlier, and the publishing house will also be able to earn one day earlier."

Chen Chen learned that the first printing was about 10,000 copies, although he couldn't see anything on his face, he was also very happy in his heart, you must know that although there are many human beings in the Zhongyang Empire, and there are many people who write books, but in terms of sales, it is almost unsatisfactory, and newcomers, 10,000 copies, can be said to be reasonable, besides, I don't know how much it can really sell.

10,000 copies? Ten million copies? Chen Chen suddenly felt that he had played big.

But does he care?
