After patiently listening to Zhou Xiaoyun's so-called explanation, Zhao Yan asked directly: "What if I only want royalty sharing?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Zhao Yan stopped speaking, frowning and waiting for Zhou Xiaoyun's reply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a period of silence, Zhou Xiaoyun sighed lightly and said, "Zhao Yan! I really want to give you a guarantee, the price of 200 thousand words is not low, no matter how your new book sells, the risk is in our publishing house, you can finish writing this book with peace of mind, and hone your writing skills with peace of mind, however, if you insist on royalty sharing, I can also give it to you! Same as your last book, 10% royalty share! But I still want to warn you! If the sales of your new book are not as good as you expected, the remuneration you can get may drop to very low, and if you insist on the same contract as the previous book, you need to be mentally prepared to do so! ”

When Zhao Yan heard this, he took a breath of sulk in his heart, walked to the door of the attic leading to the rooftop outside, opened the door, walked to the rooftop, looked at the familiar scenery around him, the corners of Zhao Yan's mouth raised slightly, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zhou!" I don't want the same contract as the previous book, this time I want a 15% royalty share! Otherwise, I can't sign this new book to you! ”

Unlike Zhou Xiaoyun, who is not optimistic about "Dragon Babu", Zhao Yan has full confidence in this new book, Zhou Xiaoyun only reads the first tens of thousands of words of the manuscript of the book, and he hasn't even read so much, but he has read the whole work, and even found in Lu Yang's world that this book has been adapted into one version after another of movies and TV series, Jin Yong, the original author of "Dragon Babu", is Lu Yang's world's premier martial arts master, and this "Dragon Babu" is one of the main masterpieces of this martial arts master.

So from the very beginning, what Zhao Yan was thinking about was not 200 thousand words, nor was it the same 10% royalty share as "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the reason why "Smiling Proud Jianghu" agreed to sign the 10% royalty share to Kyushu to study was mainly because Zhao Yan thought that his fame and reputation had not reached a higher level, and he still needed to prove himself.

Therefore, at the beginning, he agreed to sign "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to Kyushu to read with 10% of the royalties, but now, "Full Moon Scimitar", "Rebirth of the Great Cheng Sword", and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are three books, one is more popular than the other, the sales are better, and the reputation is getting better and better, Zhao Yan thinks that he is qualified to ask for a higher remuneration.

Which author in the author's circle is not like this? has gained higher popularity, who does not pay when opening a new book? If you don't ask for a salary increase when your popularity is growing, do you have to wait for your popularity to decrease before asking for a salary increase?

I deserve it!

When he proposed a 15% royalty share with Zhou Xiaoyun, Zhao Yan thought so in his heart.

The result of this call was unhappy, Zhou Xiaoyun did not agree to Zhao Yan's request for 15% royalty sharing, for Zhao Yan's request, she was silent for a few seconds, and replied to Zhao Yan with a chuckle: "Hehe, Zhao Yan!" I think I've made it clear! Well, maybe you need a little more time to think about it! 15% royalty share, we Kyushu reading is not unavailable, but ...... Your new book can't give such a contract! So be it! You can think about it, or you can also try to submit your manuscript to another publisher, if someone else can give such a contract, then it is better! If you've changed your mind after thinking about it, you can give me a call! A contract of 200 or 10% royalty sharing for 1,000 words can still be given to you! ”

……

After the phone ended, Zhao Yan casually threw the mobile phone into his single bed in the attic, smiled and didn't care, he would not change his mind, nor would he submit to other publishing houses, time will prove the value of this "Dragon Babu"!

He believes that the popularity of "Dragon Babu" will become higher and higher in terms of sword energy, and the reputation will get better and better! After the popularity and word-of-mouth of the book fully exploded, Zhao Yan did not believe that there was no contract for a publisher willing to give a 15% royalty share.

"Exactly! Use it first, and then give me the sword qi to gather popularity! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan smiled and stretched his arms, moved his fists and feet, and played Baji Boxing on the rooftop without hurrying, he hadn't practiced boxing on this rooftop for a long time, and now that he was home, standing on this rooftop again, he suddenly had a little itchy hands.

The speed of Zhao Yan's fists and feet is getting faster and faster, and the sound of breaking the wind between his fists and feet is endless, and the eight-pole boxing of the fierce route is like flowing water between his performances, and the masculine atmosphere is fully displayed.

On the first floor, Zhao Dongrong, who was smoking, heard the heavy footsteps on the rooftop, rolled his eyes and glanced at the ceiling, and habitually scolded: "This stinky boy!" As soon as he got home, he boxed, and Lao Tzu's house would be demolished sooner or later! ”

Zhao Ru smiled when she heard this and said, "Dad! Don't scold! I think Ah Yan is very good at practicing boxing! It's rare that he has a hobby! It's going to be a little bit of work outside, so let's rest assured, right? ”

Wu Yiping glared at Zhao Dongrong and reprimanded, "Like you?" If Ah Yan didn't box, would his body be so good? Now that Ah Yan is not in trouble, what's wrong with boxing? ”

"He's not in trouble? Hum! ”

Zhao Dongrong rolled his eyes, but unlike before, although he still habitually scolded Zhao Yan today, there was no anger on his face, from his heart, Zhao Yan's changes in the past year, he was also satisfied in his heart.

……

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the pull of fate.

When Zhao Yan was practicing boxing on a whim on the rooftop, on the rooftop on the second floor of the Ziyuan tailor shop diagonally opposite his house, Hou Yichen, who had returned from a holiday two days in advance, happened to go to the rooftop to collect clothes.

It's been too hot for the past two days, she just helped her mother downstairs with some work, and she sweated, and she went to the rooftop to take two sun-dried underwear downstairs to take a shower, and her body was very uncomfortable with sweat.

Maybe it's a habit that has been cultivated over the years, as soon as he walked on the rooftop, Hou Yichen habitually glanced at the rooftop of Zhao Yan's house, what Zhao Yan didn't know was that when he practiced boxing on the rooftop every night in middle school, he often had a pair of eyes watching on the rooftop diagonally across the road.

The owner of these eyes is naturally Hou Yichen.

The two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have no guesses, although later as the two grew up, Zhao Yan gradually became naughty and mischievous, and because Hou Yichen's father eloped with a wild woman, Hou Yichen's mother, who had changed her temperament, forbade Hou Yichen to play with Zhao Yan again.

But in fact, since then, Hou Yichen has almost no playmates, her mother does not allow her to play outside anymore, either asking her to work, or strictly restricting her to read and study upstairs, the same, Hou Yichen's temperament is becoming colder and colder, but under her more and more appearance, her heart still yearns for her previous life, and misses the days when she played with Zhao Yan every day.

Without Zhao Yan knowing, and without her mother's knowing, in middle school, in many starry nights and non-starry nights, Hou Yichen would come to the rooftop outside his attic alone, sit quietly in the shadow of the attic, and quietly look at the rooftop of Zhao Yan's house with his hands on his cheeks.

In those nights, sometimes she could see Zhao Yan practicing boxing on the rooftop, sometimes she couldn't, but no matter whether she could see Zhao Yan's figure or not, looking at the rooftop, looking at the light from the attic window where Zhao Yan lived, Hou Yichen would feel at ease.

Many times, she wanted to call out Zhao Yan's name loudly, and then go out to play with him like before.

It's just that the atmosphere at home and her mother's changed temperament always restrain her like a cage, so that every impulse she has can only be suppressed in her heart.

This afternoon, Hou Yichen went to the rooftop to collect clothes, and habitually glanced at the rooftop of Zhao Yan's house, not expecting to see Zhao Yan, she has been back for two days, and has not seen Zhao Yan's figure, and it is estimated that Zhao Yan has not returned home yet.

But it was this unintentional and habitual glance that made her just see Zhao Yan boxing on the roof on the roof of the second floor diagonally across the road under the scorching sun.

Across the road from a distance, Hou Yichen could still feel the fierce and fierce aura from Zhao Yan's fists and feet, and Hou Yichen was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Yan's kung fu seems to be more powerful than before......

This consciousness was born in her heart.

She didn't know much about kung fu, but she had seen Zhao Yan practicing boxing under the moon many times, so she had a comparison in her heart, and when she came back to her senses, Hou Yichen subconsciously moved a few steps sideways and hid behind the clothes hanger, and the clothes on the hanger blocked most of her figure.

Standing behind his clothes, Hou Yichen quietly looked at Zhao Yan who was practicing boxing on the rooftop under the scorching sun for a while, and a faint smile unconsciously escaped from the corner of his mouth, and even a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

The familiar feeling gradually returned to her heart, as if returning to the quiet nights of middle school.

Looking at the figure of Zhao Yan practicing boxing on the rooftop diagonally opposite, Hou Yichen seemed to see that during the winter vacation last year, when she gave the ready-to-wear clothes to the owner of the veteran martial arts hall, she happened to see Zhao Yan go to challenge Zhong Xuzhao, the owner of the veteran martial arts hall, and unexpectedly won Zhong Xuzhao, and the shock she saw that day remained in her heart for a long time.

Before that day, Hou Yichen had always thought that Zhao Yan's kung fu was just an amateur level of a fanatic, but that day she witnessed Zhao Yan defeat the owner of the veteran martial arts hall, so she had a new understanding of Zhao Yan's kung fu.

It turned out that the set of kung fu he practiced on the rooftop every night was so powerful.

Thinking of what she saw in the veteran martial arts hall that day, Hou Yichen couldn't help but remember that day when she came out of the veteran martial arts hall and rode a battery car through the ring road along the river, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Yan sitting on the guardrail by the river in a dejected state.

The lonely figure that has just passed this semester has appeared in her heart more than once, and it has also appeared in her dreams more than once.

Maybe it was because she thought about it too many times, and she gradually felt a little distressed.

The Ah Yan in her memory who seems to never be depressed and lost actually has such a lost side.

Hou Yichen still remembers that day after Zhao Yan defeated the hall owner Zhong Xuzhao in the veteran martial arts hall, but she burst into tears, she didn't understand it at that time.

Later, when I saw him staring at the back of the cold river by the river, I didn't immediately understand the reason.

It wasn't until she returned to school in the new semester and recalled what she saw that day again and again that she gradually guessed the reason - Ah Yan may have fallen out of love.

In the new semester, there is still news about Zhao Yan on the news from time to time, especially after Zhao Yan's assassination, during that time, Hou Yichen saw a lot of news about Zhao Yan on the Internet and TV, when she saw Zhao Yan lying on the hospital bed on the news as if she was asleep, but the news said that after Zhao Yan was assassinated, he had been asleep for unknown reasons, at that moment, Hou Yichen felt empty in his heart.

At that time, she was eating in the school cafeteria, and when she saw the news broadcast on the TV on the wall of the cafeteria, looking at the news screen of Zhao Yan lying on the hospital bed with an unknown face, Hou Yichen looked at it in a daze, and had an impulse to go to Nanjing to visit Zhao Yan.

It's just that the temperament that has been suppressed for many years makes every impulse impossible for her to implement in the end, and this hesitation is more than half a month, until she sees the news of Zhao Yan's awakening on the news again, she still hasn't moved.

Zhao Yan has changed!

As she sees more and more news about Zhao Yan on the news, witnessing him achieve incredible results one after another, sometimes Hou Yichen feels that Zhao Yan is no longer the Zhao Yan she knows.

But that feeling is always like a trance, and after the trance, she feels that Zhao Yan has not changed! He's still so strong, unruly, and so confident.

"Because I'm Zhao Yan!"

When she was a child, she often heard him say this sentence, and it often appeared in Hou Yichen's ears in the past six months, she remembered that every time she heard Zhao Yan say this sentence when she was a child, she admired him so much, she felt that he was omnipotent, and nothing could stump him, because he was Zhao Yan!

On the rooftop diagonally opposite, Zhao Yan had finished punching, and his figure disappeared into the door of the attic, Hou Yichen was still stunned to look at the empty rooftop over there for a while, before he came back to his senses, smiled shallowly, reached out and took two underwear and bath towels from the hanger, turned around and went down the rooftop to take a bath.

……

Zhao Yan also went downstairs to take a shower, in fact, he found Hou Yichen on the opposite rooftop, but he didn't think much about it, and he didn't have the idea of greeting.

Since several years ago, he went to ask Hou Yichen to come out to play many times, but he couldn't call out anymore, and when he met her on the road, he greeted her and she didn't respond, Zhao Yan would no longer greet her.

Zhao Yan has always disdained to do things with hot faces and cold butts.

……

Just when Zhao Yan and Hou Yichen were taking a shower, a dark red Scarlet Cloud sports car came to this small Xicheng, and the Scarlet Cloud finally stopped in the parking lot of the Chengfu Hotel in Xicheng.

In the summer of last year, Yu Qiluo encountered a kidnapping case in Xicheng, and finally held a press conference and a banquet for Zhao Yan to express their gratitude, and the hotel they chose was this Chengfu Hotel.

Chengfu Hotel is the most upscale hotel in Xicheng.

The door of the driver's seat of the scarlet cloud opened, a man who looked like a bodyguard got out of the car quickly, went around to the other side and respectfully opened the car door, wearing a light cyan skirt and white stockings, got out of the car, and after getting out of the car, he unhurriedly put on a pair of sunglasses, swept the hair around his ears, and walked into the revolving door of the Chengfu Hotel with elegant steps under the escort of the bodyguard.

The storm is coming. (To be continued.) )
