Chapter 046 "Sealing the Demon" made headlines

Zong Shaojie ran out in a hurry. In the conference room, only Chen Yuan and Ye Yun were left.

Facing his beautiful head teacher Ye Yun alone, the light breeze in Chen Yuan's interview just now suddenly dissipated. He smiled awkwardly and called softly, "Teacher Ye......"

"Chen Yuan......" Ye Yun looked at Chen Yuan with burning eyes, and there seemed to be a murderous aura in his eyes.

Chen Yuan heard the taste of gnashing his teeth from the two words that came out of Ye Yun's mouth. This made him even more apprehensive. Chen Yuan said cautiously: "I originally wanted to go back a few days earlier, but the script didn't go well from the beginning, and now I caught up with the novel, so it dragged on." Teacher Ye, I really didn't mean to......"

"Didn't you mean to put so much pressure and responsibility on the teacher?" Ye Yun's chest fluctuated, and it was obvious that her inner mood fluctuations were very intense. Speaking of which, she also felt very aggrieved. Since she started teaching, the first class she took was the experimental class. The experimental class is full of good students with excellent grades, although they are not well-behaved and obedient, but they will also cause trouble. Only this Chen Yuan made her very uneasy!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye." Chen Yuan sincerely apologized.

"I'm sorry? Chen Yuan, you are only 17 years old now, you are still a minor, and you should have stayed in school to receive an education. Instead of running to Kyoto to do whatever it takes! Your leave was approved by me, who is responsible for your accident? Who can be responsible? Ye Yun didn't turn her head, and tears slipped down uncontrollably.

Ye Yun's appearance fell in Chen Yuan's eyes, which made him feel even more guilty.

He was not good at words, and at this juncture, he really didn't know what else to do or say except to hand over a handkerchief and a dry excuse to say sorry.

After a short silence, Ye Yun turned her head, she saw the handkerchief paper in front of her, and she was a little surprised, but she still took it and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her emotions finally calmed down, "When you were interviewed by reporter Zong just now, you didn't say it carefully. What the hell was going on with that signing ceremony? ”

Talking about this kind of thing, Chen Yuan has something to say. He briefly described the hot sales of "The Sealed Demon", and talked about the distribution of interests in the publishing industry.

After listening, Ye Yun gradually frowned, and she asked, "Your contract is too domineering, how can those publishers agree?" You've made such a big deal that even the newspaper knows about it, and if you don't succeed in signing the contract in the end, how will it end then? ”

"Teacher Ye is afraid that my final result will be a joke?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said confidently, "At the beginning, I didn't expect "Sealing Demon" to be so popular. In just two months, the sales of "Sealed Demon" have squeezed into the top three of Taiwan's annual best-selling list! With such achievements, don't say that those famous novelists, even martial arts giants like Jin Guliang can't compare. Why? ”

"Why?" Ye Yun was also curious. What Chen Yuan told her tonight sounded like a legend to her! And the middle school student who created this legend is now standing in front of her, talking eloquently.

"It was only then that I began to figure it out. Essay pen, compared to those predecessors in the literary world, I am ashamed of myself. But when it comes to the layout and conception of the novel, they are a little bit worse. "The Sealed Demon" is better than the language is straightforward, easy to understand, novel and interesting, supplemented by the macro background of the Three Thousand Worlds, it is natural that it can sell well. Chen Yuan said lightly.

In fact, the best-selling popularity of "Sealing the Demon" is also related to the fact that it has absorbed some of the essence of online texts.

"Sealing the Demon" begins with a boy from the earth traveling through the wild world, with a strong sense of substitution, which is one of them. The second is that it is YY enough to satisfy the various fantasies of readers. The third is to include various well-known characters in mythology, such as Sanqing, Pangu, Nuwa, Hongjun, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Shen Gongbao, etc., to form a huge mythological system. And finally, it's a stunning idea. As the so-called unexpected and reasonable, "Sealing the Demon" will always leave readers with surprises!

"Mr. Ye, do you say that there will be no publisher willing to sign a contract for such a best-selling novel?" Chen Yuan asked with a smile.

Ye Yun sighed and said, "This is not accurate, the key is that your remuneration is too high!" ”

Is it high? Chen Yuan doesn't think so.

Early the next morning, Huang Bo ran into the Hengjiang Hotel in a hurry with a newspaper.

Before Chen Yuan woke up, he was noisy. Hearing that it was Huang Bo's voice, Chen Yuan opened the door.

Huang Bo was very excited and shouted loudly: "It's been reported, it's been reported, and it's a big headline!" ”

"What?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.

"Look at it," Huang Bo handed the newspaper to Chen Yuan, pointed to a line of big characters on the front page, and said: "A "Sealed Demon" was born......

Chen Yuan snatched the newspaper over, took a closer look, and sure enough, it made headlines!

The information reported on this Yangcheng Evening News is almost the same as the topic he talked about in an interview last night. But the focus is all on his novels, and as for him as the author, the newspaper seems to be deliberately concealing it, and does not say much.

This report started with the release of "The Demon" in Taiwan two months ago, from the calm of episodes 1 and 2 to the gradual popularity of episode 3, and then it was out of control. There was a huge tornado blowing in the entire traditional fiction market. Millions of readers rushed to buy it, and "Sealing the Demon" was a hot mess!

The report also provides a detailed and verifiable data information, 9 episodes of "Sealing the Demon", two months, 1.87 million copies sold, shocked the attention of countless people. There has never been a novel in the traditional novel market that has achieved such dazzling results!

At the end of the report, Chen Yuan's name was briefly mentioned, and at the end he said that he would continue to pay attention to the novel and the latest developments of the novel's author.

Chen Yuan finished reading the information in the newspaper and smiled faintly. This Zong Shaojie's work efficiency is still quite high!

Huang Bo smiled and asked, "Are you very proud now?" ”

"What's there to be proud of?" Chen Yuan no longer paid attention to Huang Bo, and walked to the scrubbing room to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Huang Bo followed behind and said with some resentment: "This is a newspaper headline!" Do you think anyone can get on it if they want to? ”

The arrival of Huang Bo shocked Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui, who were sleeping next door, and Ye Yun and Zong Shaojie on the same floor.

"Sealing the Demon" made the headlines of the Yangcheng Evening News, and even Zong Shaojie was surprised when he saw it. After the surprise, there is an irrepressible excitement. His interview made headlines, which shows how much the newspaper attaches to this exclusive news!

Chen Qingjiang and Chen Qingshui were very excited, in their opinion, it was a great thing to be able to report, and it even made headlines? As long as this newspaper is taken back, everyone in the old Chen family will feel extremely honored when they read it - the old Chen family has finally produced a capable person!

Only Ye Yun didn't see any joy on his face. She is still worried, what if no one is willing to sign at the signing ceremony tomorrow?

At the Fuchunjiang Hotel, He Qiuyang summoned all the publishers from Taiwan.

"Now the initiative is occupied by Chen Yuan, the author of "The Sealing Demon", He Qiuyang said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for his appetite being too big, even if he only needed a 20% royalty rate, I believe that some of you here would be willing to sign that contract." But what does a 25% royalty rate mean? It means that he is going to eat the share of what our publishing house gets! ”

"Mr. He, what is your purpose in calling us all here?" A publisher asked.

He Qiuyang smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, we have to change from passive to active!" As long as we all agree on the same page, we all reject the contract. Chen Yuan had to take the initiative to reduce his salary. 25% will drop to 20%, 20% will drop to 15%. In fact, 15% royalty remuneration is already a lot, and we publishers also have to eat a bite to eat! ”

"Mr. He's words are very reasonable, and I agree with this plan." One publisher raised his hand.

Li Junru frowned and asked, "If the plan is successful, how should the final benefits be distributed?" After all, it was only one of our publishers who signed the contract. ”

"This is very easy to do, whoever signs that contract at that time will share some of the benefits to all of us here." The publisher who had just raised his hand said.

Someone asked again: "How should this benefit be divided?" How much? ”

There was silence.

Li Junru noticed Gu Shunfeng, who had been silent all the time, and couldn't help but say, "Doesn't President Gu have anything to say?" Although the copyright of the first 10 episodes of "Sealing the Demon" was signed by you, as for the follow-up copyright, our publishing houses are all on the same starting line! President Gu didn't speak, did he secretly agree to the overlord contract? ”

Li Junru said a few words, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Shunfeng.

Gu Shunfeng's face sank, and he said slowly: "What Mr. He said is very right, we publishers also want to eat a bite of food!" "Sealing the Demon" is indeed very popular, and the fire is very abnormal. It's like a demon, rampage and headlong into the traditional fiction market! That overlord contract actually asks for 25% royalties, and whoever signs it will lose money and make money! It's better to sign up for a bunch of other bestsellers! ”

"Hehe......" He Qiuyang smiled and said approvingly: "President Gu can see it very clearly. Now, we have only one way to go. That is to unite and turn the passive into the active! Chen Yuan prepared a signing ceremony for us tomorrow morning, and the news has been released through the media. Between now and tomorrow morning's signing ceremony, he will be in touch with us! ”

"In that case," Li Junru smiled coldly, his eyes swept to everyone, "Then we will wait for his good news here!" ”
