Taiwan's traditional Chinese book market, at the beginning of the 21st century, has always been an important source of income for mainland online writers, because the quality of online novels is uneven, coupled with the rampant dominance of mainland pirates, even if they get the opportunity to publish in simplified Chinese, novels published in simplified Chinese almost do not make much money.

The traditional Chinese publishing houses in Taiwan generally sign contracts for online novels such as fantasy, cultivation, and magic, such as Lin Yang's cross-air novel "Almighty Family", which should be regarded as a relatively unpopular genre in Taiwan.

In addition, there are two themes in Taiwan's publishing industry that they are not too willing to touch, one is martial arts, except for Jin Yong, Gu Long, Huang Yi and other early famous people, others have no market at all; The second is online games, not that the writing is not good, such as "Raptors Across the River" and "The World of Online Games" These books have been very popular, and they also have a high reputation in the entire online literature industry, but Taiwanese readers just don't like it, and the only one who really stands out in Taiwan by writing online game novels is "One Half Prince" of Yume.

After two years of business development and the strong introduction of the VIP fee system, it has become a mecca for original literature in the mainland, and there are endless good works, which simply make Taiwanese readers love and want to stop.

The works of well-known writers such as Tang Sanshao and Xuehong, every time they start writing new books, they will basically be snatched up by major publishing houses soon, and there is no need to worry about publishing simplified and traditional Chinese like Lin Yang.

At the end of the whole day, Lin Yang also met with Mr. Lan a few times, and every time Mr. Lan appeared, he almost always smiled, communicated with a group of authors, and seemed to be easier to talk.

Mr. Lan, the president of Xinchang Publishing House, in order to expand the mainland market, has lived in the mainland almost all the year round, and his office is set up in Nanjing.

As a result, Tang Jiasanshao also went to his office to sign a publishing contract, and Xinchang Publishing House did the publishing of traditional Chinese books in Taiwan.

Mr. Lan has a cheerful personality, and after a few contacts, the three young men of the Tang family became familiar with him.

After all, in Taiwan's Xinchang Publishing House, the Tang family is a pillar-level writer, even if Mr. Lan, who has deep pockets, sees his own cash cow - the Tang family's three young people, he has to give him a few thin noodles.

Therefore, it was a very suitable choice for Lin Yang to ask the Tang family Sanshao to introduce him to Mr. Lan.

Of course, although Mr. Lan is very polite to every author, it is another thing to be polite on the surface, but he can't afford you in his bones.

Under the introduction of the Tang family's three young men and dancing, Mr. Lan finally remembered Orange (Lin Yang), a high school student who is a new online writer.

In Mr. Lan's room, a few people sat down and began to talk, what Mr. Lan didn't expect was that Lin Yang was young, but he knew novels very well, and when it came to several novels that have become popular on the Internet recently, they are all heads, pros and cons can be analyzed clearly, and they are even more knowledgeable than him.

What he didn't know was that Lin Yang's understanding of these online novels actually came from a forward-looking vision, because, in his previous life, he had already read the online novels in the next few years, and now the routines and settings of online novels, he knew what it would look like next after a little look.

The night was getting deeper.

Fenghuo was sick, it was estimated that the wine was on his brain, and he blew the cold wind and kept shouting and wanted to vomit, so he withdrew from the stage in advance, and then danced and dragged the Tang family to drink a meal, saying that he wanted to have a good chat for a while.

In this regard, Lin Yang smiled and said nothing, until they all left, and a supper ordered by Mr. Lan was also delivered, he asked Lin Yang if he wanted it, Lin Yang stood aside, excused himself and said no, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

"Orange, you...... Anything else? Mr. Lan asked as he devoured something.

"Mr. Lan, I have also written a web novel, can you help me read it?".

"Oh? Which novel have you written? Mr. Lan laughed, apparently understanding his intentions.

"Almighty Family!"

"Almighty? The title of this book...... It seems to be a little impressive.,The results seem to be very good.,I said why did you say so good just now.,It turns out that you're also an expert in writing essays.。 ”

"If you win a prize, an expert doesn't dare to be it."

"Don't be modest...... In this way, I will eat supper first, and I will watch it after I have eaten...... Come over tomorrow morning and I'll give you an answer! ”

"Then thank you, Mr. Lan."

"Well said!"

After saying goodbye to Mr. Lan, Lin Yang went back to his room to sleep.

The next morning, in order to catch the plane on time, Lin Yang walked to the door of Mr. Lan's room early in the morning, only to find that the door was open, and Mr. Lan had already gotten up, his eyes were wide open, and he was staring at the computer screen.

"Mr. Lan."

"Mr. Blue......"

"Mr. Lan!!"

Lin Yang shouted a few times in a row before he woke up Mr. Lan, he was still unhappy, and when he saw that it was Lin Yang, he was no longer a stinky face.

Then, he directly slapped the case and said loudly: "Young man! Your story is well written, I can't stop the rhythm when I see it! ”

Lin Yang smiled slightly, "Then Mr. Lan, do you think this story can be published in Taiwan?" ”

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Mr. Lan nodded, "I've seen many stories, but the story of yours who traveled through ancient times to become a family member is thrilling. , exciting and atmospheric, both passionate and tender and romantic, such a story should have a market in Taiwan! ”

"That's good."

Lin Yang's jaw was the first to say.

Mr. Lan's reaction was something that Lin Yang had not imagined, and from what he knew during the chat last night, Lin Yang knew that he was very sensitive to the quality of the novel itself, and he could see whether it was good or not.

"Almighty Family" is the first traditional book signed by Lin Yang, after greeting Mr. Lan, after signing the contract, Lin Yang plans to leave.

Lin Yang originally thought that the rules of Taiwanese publishing houses should be the same as those of mainland publishing houses, and only after publication, they would be like snails and slowly pay the manuscript fee.

Unexpectedly, before Lin Yang said goodbye, Mr. Lan suddenly stopped him: "Don't go!" I didn't take the money! ”

Then, he turned around, opened a black leather bag from under the table, and took out a few bundles of money, probably tens of thousands of yuan, all of which were hundred-dollar bills.

In Lin Yang's surprised eyes, Mr. Lan directly packed the money in a few envelopes, threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "Young man, take back your manuscript fee!" ”

I wipe !!

Lin Yang has never seen such a happy publisher in his life! I signed the contract, and the manuscript was not delivered, so I gave the money directly, or cash! Or tens of thousands of dollars in cash!

Lin Yang was completely in a state of confusion, going out with a few bulging envelopes in his hands, and then, returning to his room, in his innocent surprised eyes, carefully packed tens of thousands of yuan into his backpack.

Before leaving, Lin Yang said goodbye to the three young men of the Tang family and the innocent one by one.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief Lao Mo's room, and whispered as he knocked: "Editor-in-chief, are you in the room?" ”

After a while, Lao Mo yawned, opened the door slowly, and looked like he had just woken up, and when he saw that it was Lin Yang, he asked curiously: "It's you, why did you get up so early?" Come in and sit. ”

Lin Yang did as he said and entered the back room.

"Editor-in-chief, there is a Taiwanese publishing house that wants to publish my book."

Lao Mo: "Really? Great, I'm still thinking, if there is no Taiwanese publishing house to come to the door this time, I will use my relationship to help you contact, but in that case, I also have to take some shares, although I don't have to worry about arrears, but after all, I still earn less than I contact publishing. ”

After sighing, Lao Mo asked again: "By the way, Orange, which publishing house did you sign?" ”

Lin Yang: "It's Xinchang Publishing House. ”

After listening to Lin Yang's answer, Lao Mo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Oh, Mr. Lan, it's an old acquaintance, Xinchang is still good, the characteristics of this publishing house are that the money is very refreshing, there are few restrictions, fantasy is their main type, and your "Almighty Family" can be regarded as a rare fate to be able to sign a contract with it." ”

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Editor-in-chief, what you said is all its advantages, they will always have shortcomings, right?" ”

Lao Mo thought for a while, and said: "Let me tell you the truth, the disadvantage is that the reputation of this publishing house is not big enough, and the sales in the Taiwan market have certain limitations, and the sales are not as much as those big publishing houses, however, if it is a buyout price, the sales volume has nothing to do with the author, and the quality of the books published by this publishing house is not exquisite, and it can even be said to be a little rough, which is why the sales are not high, and people who are willing to spend so much money to buy books must want to buy some high-quality products, but in the rental book market, this has become an advantage." ”

……

Because of the rush of time, he communicated with the editor-in-chief Lao Mo almost immediately, and Lin Yang began to embark on the return journey.

At Hongqiao Airport, Lin Yang took out a ticket from Shanghai to Guangzhou, got on the plane, looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window gradually disappeared from view, and what caught his eye was the blue sky and white clouds.

Shanghai, maybe, I'll come back again.

Getting on the plane, Lin Yang began to reminisce, and this cooperation with the boss of a Taiwanese publishing house felt so cool!
