Chapter 107: On the eve of the release

Anyway, now "Knight's Journey" has entered the hearts of many people, and many people have heard this name.

It's just that many people have mixed opinions about this action of "East Poster Edition", and many people are interested in this novel. After all, although the current "East Poster Edition" has dropped a lot in sales, it is still very strict in controlling the quality of the novel.

However, for many readers, they feel that reading novels in "East Poster Edition" is more to see something that is more traditional and describes Chinese society, and they want to read something a little more in-depth than a martial arts novel......

After all, many people always feel that martial arts novels are used for entertainment, and this recognition is deeply rooted.

This is true even on another plane......

However, since the novel is a popular novel, the first priority must be to have a pastime value, otherwise, writing a highly literary and artistic thing may be high and low, and it may even appear hypocritical to pretend to be literary and artistic.

"Li Kuo, "Chivalrous Journey" will be officially released tomorrow!" Ye Xing found Li Kuo on the Internet, and then said, "Are you going to use a pen name or do you plan to use the name you used before?" ”

That's a problem.

If you use a pen name, it would be beneficial, but Li Kuo couldn't think of what to use at once.

Use the previous name...... It's a bit bad to make everyone feel that he is writing two books at the same time, and he will share his energy, and the good thing is that if this is the case, the name Li Kuo itself will become a golden signboard, and many things will be combined, and once a variety of novels are opened, the value of his name will increase infinitely.

After careful consideration, Li Kuo still planned to use the name "Li Kuo".

Because in this era, information communication is very fast, and a person's fame is likely to be connected within multiple channels and become a huge IP asset.

This is definitely very useful for Li Kuo's systematic lottery.

Therefore, after some consideration, Li Kuo said to Ye Xing: "Let's use the name Li Kuo!" When the time comes, just don't do too much publicity, if someone finds out, they will find out, and if they don't, forget it...... You know what I mean? ”

"Well, I see." Ye Xing was not an elm head, so it took a short time to figure out what Li Kuo meant.

In this way, Li Kuo has another place to get the manuscript fee on "East Poster Edition", and the income here can at least reach nearly 10,000 to unlimited a month......

The main thing is to look at the sales of the newspaper.

The publication method of "East Poster Edition" is to publish one every three days, and the second edition of the novel section requires about 8,000 to 10,000 words per sheet: in fact, this section is purely used for serializing novels.

The book "Chivalrous Journey" has a total of 450,000 words, so this book needs to be updated more than 40 times, which is about four months.

Li Kuo's income will be purely linked to the sales of "East Poster Edition".

"Then if the novel has a good score by then, can you say that you are also the author of "Notes on Tomb Robbery"?" Ye Xing asked Li Kuo.

"Let's talk about it then! We don't have to take the initiative to talk about it. Li Kuo replied.

After chatting with Li Kuo, Ye Xing found the commerce department on their side and asked about the sales of "East Poster Edition".

He also wants to know in his heart now, how things are going on.

The contract and Li Kuo have been drawn up anyway, that is, the remuneration paid to Li Kuo will be adjusted according to the base of 195,000 copies, even if the sales of the newspaper have increased in the past few days, then Li Kuo will still have to be paid so much money.

"Newspaper sales the day before yesterday ...... The exact number is 187,485 so far! "The people here in the Ministry of Commerce are more professional and quickly gave Ye Xing a number.

"Huh?"

Originally, I thought that Li Kuo might want to make some money because of the sales of newspapers...... Whether it's because of his novels or not, in short, he can earn some, but I didn't expect that according to the current situation, it will be difficult to increase sales to 195,000 copies next time, although the sales of newspapers are fluctuating up and down, but the fluctuations are a bit big these days.

It seems that the finale of the previous novel did not attract more people to watch it at all, but instead caused the sales of the newspaper to decline: some strong novels are like this, they are not popular, and in the end, readers do not buy it, and they can only be used for nothing.

The previous novel was a problem with zài.

"Why is there such a sudden drop in sales?" Ye Xing asked.

"Everything comes from the content, and readers don't buy it because the content is good or not...... I think the problem should be in the content. This employee of the Ministry of Commerce did not shy away from Ye Xing's words.

Ye Xing was choked for a moment, and his psychology was a little bitter.

It seems that Li Kuo can only get a basic buyout of 80 yuan......

After all, it is difficult for the sales of "East Poster Edition" to increase now, but it is common for sales to fall, and it is often difficult to rise back after a fall, which is an objective fact.

Because of this, Ye Xing is even more worried now.

Maybe they rely on a copy of "Chivalry and Travel" in this section, so they don't want to make any comebacks.

When Ye Xing turned back to his office, he met Peng Ting, the editor in charge of the first edition of "East Poster Edition", and as soon as Peng Ting saw Ye Xing, she mysteriously pulled him to the corner and lifted his clothes.

"What's wrong?"

Peng Ting took out a bag of Wen Jiàn from her clothes, and then said to Ye Xing: "You pay attention to confidentiality, I just got on a self-media platform in Yanjing, and they said that they were willing to let us both change jobs at the same time, and the salary is this amount." Peng Ting gestured with her hand, and Ye Xing reacted quickly, this should mean 15K......

A salary of 15,000 is really not low!

And that's just the beginning.

Ye Xing had revealed this to Peng Ting before, and everyone was also thinking about finding a home, after all, the matter of paper media made people a little worried about the future.

But now, Ye Xing pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "I won't go for the time being...... I have a book on hand now, and I'm going to wait until it's finished. ”

"That book of "Chivalry"? I haven't read it, but I don't think a book can solve anything. Peng Ting shook her head and said: "The sales of this newspaper should not fall, and it will be more difficult to rise." ”

Ye Xing still shook his head: "Forget it, I'll wait." ”

"That's up to you." Peng Ting took the bag away, and this turn was a bit of "you wait to regret it".

Ye Xing took a deep breath, is it possible for this "Chivalrous Journey" to explode a little? Give some hope?
