Chapter 9: Beauty Editor
And just when Lin Nan and Zhou Ping were watching "Chang'an Chaos" or not, they each explained their reasons and had a heated discussion, Zhan Xiaonan, who was sitting next to Lin Nan, also held a book of martial arts and finished reading "Chang'an Chaos" again.
Closing the magazine, Zhan Xiaonan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Nanshan memories? How come I've never heard of this author! ”
"Ah, it should be a newcomer, there are so many newcomers every year, it's not surprising that there is one more!" Lin Nan leaned on the table and said.
Zhan Xiaonan shook his head: "No, this one is different, he is very talented!" "Chang'an Chaos" seems to be a martial arts novel, but in fact, in my opinion, it is more like a reflection on life, behind the absurd rivers and lakes, is the author's challenge to tradition! ”
Lin Nan couldn't help but look at this little girl with admiration, although she was young, she could see that many of her peers couldn't see things, unlike Zhou Ping's idiot, who could only be seen as a joke.
Looking at the different light flashing in the little girl's eyes, Lin Nan teased: "Why, seeing that you respect him so much and like others?" ”
"Ahh Zhan Xiaonan's face instantly turned red, and he hurriedly defended: "What's the matter, I just appreciate his talent, but I still hope to be able to see this Nanshan Yiyi!" ”
"Don't worry, you'll see!"
Zhan Xiaonan nodded after hearing this, she didn't care, she just thought that Lin Nan was comforting her, how did she know that the author she admired, Nanshan Yi, was sitting next to him at this time.
Lin Nan secretly said in his heart, you will never see the original author in your life, it is a person who is in two time and space with you, but you can often see me, the ghostwriter.
As soon as he returned home after school, he found that there was one more person in the family besides his mother.
This is a young girl with a delicate face, a good figure, and a full youthful atmosphere.
The girl was wearing simple short sleeves and white ultra-short pants, and her two jade-like slender white legs were exposed, which immediately attracted Lin Nan's attention, and for beautiful women, whether in the past life or in this life, Lin Nan has the deepest love from the soul.
The girl was talking and laughing with Lin Nan's mother, but when she saw Lin Nan come back, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't expect that the author of "Chang'an Chaos" was really such a young person.
This girl is wearing flat-soled canvas shoes, but she is about the same height as Lin Nan when she stands up, and her net height is estimated to be about 1.73 meters.
"You are classmate Lin Nan, hello, I am Lan Li, the editor of Wulin Fengyun, I am older than you, just call me Sister Lan Li!" The beauty editor Lan Li introduced herself, and then stretched out her hand to Lin Nan.
Shaking hands with Lan Li, feeling the warmth and softness in his hands, Lin Nan secretly said in his heart, the feel is really good, but there is an extremely simple smile on his face, and he can't see any dirty thoughts.
"Well, Sister Lan Li can just call me Xiao Nan!" Lin Nan agreed, and then said to his mother: "Mom, let's go out to discuss some things, you can eat by yourself at noon!" ”
Lin Nan left the house with Lan Li, and casually found a relatively quiet small teahouse to sit in.
What did the editor of Wulin Fengyun come to him for Lin Nan himself knew very well, he knew that the editorial department of Wulin Fengyun urgently needed the publishing right of "Chang'an Chaos", so he was not in a hurry, just sat there drinking tea and looking at the beautiful women, leisurely.
"Xiao Nan, it is necessary for me to confirm whether the novel "Chang'an Chaos" is really written by you, and whether the copyright is all in your hands!" Lan Li's delicate face was full of seriousness, she had to figure this out first, what she was most afraid of was that the copyright was no longer in Lin Nan's hands.
"Except for the sale of the serial rights to the publication, everything else is here!"
Hearing Lin Nan say this, the beautiful editor Lan Li breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face: "I came from Haidu, but I actually have only one purpose......
"The publishing rights of "Chang'an Rebellion"!" Lin Nan nodded and said in front of Lan Li.
Lan Li was not surprised that Lin Nan knew her purpose, if the author who could write a novel like "Chang'an Chaos" didn't even understand these things, then she would never believe it!
"Yes, we are very optimistic about the novel "Chang'an Chaos", so we made an exception and decided to publish this novel before the serialization was completed, and now we want to get the publishing rights of "Chang'an Chaos" from you!"
The expectation in Lan Li's eyes made Lin Nan unbearable to refuse, but he was not a person who would be weak when he saw a beautiful woman coquettish, and Lin Nan was still very clear about what was the most important thing.
Fortunately, this time he didn't have to refuse this big beauty, because Lin Nan had planned to let Wulin Fengyun publish "Chang'an Chaos" on his behalf, and Lan Li came here to save him from looking for it again.
"Sister Lan Li, the copyright of "Chang'an Chaos" can be given to you, but I have one condition." Lin Nan bent down slightly to approach Lan Li, who was sitting opposite, and then said: "Actually, I have mentioned this request before, you know, I am still just a student, so I don't want to be exposed to the public eye for the time being." ”
"This is no problem, only me and the editor-in-chief know your true identity in the entire editorial department, so you don't have to worry about leaking it." Lan Li smiled, she thought what kind of request Lin Nan would make, but she didn't expect it to be just this request, and smiled at Lin Nan while breathing a sigh of relief.
Before she came, Xu Changtian, the editor-in-chief of Wulin Fengyun, told her that she must win the publishing rights of "Chang'an Chaos", so she had already decided that as long as Lin Nan didn't make any excessive requests, she would agree to it, but she didn't know that Lin Nan just made such a request that was not a request
"Then there's nothing wrong with this, but now we're going to talk about something more vulgar!" Lin Nan drank the tea in his hand, and then said.
Lan Li smiled when she heard Lin Nan say this: "You are a little different from other writers, you are worthy of being able to write alternative works like "Chang'an Chaos"!" ”
The writers who signed a contract with Lan Li before basically didn't take the initiative to mention money or mentioned it very obscurely, because those writers felt that it was vulgar to take the initiative to talk about money, but the young Lin Nan was obviously not like that.
"Supporting a family, life is not easy, there is no way to do it!" Lin Nan deliberately made a difficult expression and said to Lan Li.
Lan Li also saw that Lin Nan was joking with him, shook his head and said with a smile: "We can give you thirteen percent of the royalties, according to the popularity of "Chang'an Chaos", presumably the manuscript fee you can get at that time is definitely not low!" ”
Lin Nan also had a general understanding of the publishing market in this time and space these days, so he also knew that Lan Li did not cheat himself, and the royalty of 13% was already very high.
"If it's okay, just sign this contract!" Seeing Lin Nan nodding, Lan Li hurriedly took out two contracts from her bag and handed them to Lin Nan, this contract was prepared by her a long time ago, and Lin Nan didn't make any new requirements, so she just signed it.
Lin Nan probably flipped it over, Wulin Fengyun didn't do anything with this contract, so he signed the contract directly, and Wulin Fengyun Magazine also obtained the publishing rights of "Chang'an Chaos" for the next ten years!
After accepting the contract, Lan Li was ready to leave Xijing City directly, and she wanted to return to Haidu immediately to report the good news to the editor-in-chief.
"By the way, I settled the bill by the way when I left!" Lin Nan said to Lan Li, who was already preparing to leave.
Lan Li shook her head with her mouth open, knocked her forehead with one hand and said, "My great writer, how can you make a girl pay!" ”
"Who made me a poor student, when the manuscript fee arrives, I will be happy to invite you, a beautiful woman, to dinner!" Lin Nan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"Forget it, I ran from Haidu to Xijing for a meal, and I can't get my plane ticket back!"
"It's okay, I'll go to Haidu to find you!" Lin Nan looked at Lan Li, and an extremely gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Okay!" Lan Li responded with a smile, obviously not taking Lin Nan's words seriously, just taking Lin Nan's polite words, and then said goodbye and left directly.
Looking at Lan Li's graceful figure leaving through the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Nan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Lan Li about something, so he hurriedly chased him out, but after getting out, Lan Li had already gotten into a taxi and left.
Lin Nan didn't have Lan Li's contact information, so he couldn't catch up with Lan Li at all, so he could only give up, anyway, it wasn't something that had to be said in person, and it would be the same when he looked back.
