Xiao Mengyue: "Hey? Why are you calling me? ”

Zhao Yan smiled and walked to the rooftop with his mobile phone, and while sitting down on an old wooden chair casually, he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

In the villa in Linjiang, Xiao Mengyue in front of the computer smiled: "I'm revising the draft for you!" You forgot the manuscript you just sent me? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan felt sweet in his heart, and said softly: "It's just a chapter manuscript!" No hurry! Just now my brother called me out to get together, they are all my best brothers, are you free now? Come out! Let's go! I introduced you to them. ”

Just now, Lou Wenhao called Zhao Yan on the phone to go to Wuwei Building near No. 3 Middle School to drink, saying that Fan Long and Ji Yichun would also go, Lou Wenhao was in a good mood on the phone, Zhao Yan also understood, today's college entrance examination results came out, Lou Wenhao scored 307 points, and nine times out of ten he can go to school at Nanjing Business School, such good news Lou Wenhao wants to find a few of them to drink to celebrate, it is also very normal. Zhao Yan agreed, but before leaving, he suddenly wanted to call Xiao Mengyue together.

Xiao Mengyue was a little surprised, the two pear vortices reappeared, her smile was very beautiful, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was a little shy.

"I'm not going! It shouldn't be appropriate for me to go to your brother's gathering......"

She was happy in her heart, but she still felt shy when she thought of going to meet his best friends with Zhao Yan, who was also only 17 years old.

Zhao Yan: "It's okay! Come on! I won't introduce you this time, but next time I want to introduce you to a few of them at the same time, I'm afraid it's difficult! After graduation, everyone is going their separate ways! ”

When he said this, Zhao Yan was a little melancholy, in the past few years, he has become accustomed to Fan Long, Ji Yichun, Lou Wenhao and the others mixing with him, thinking that he can't be together every day in the future, he doesn't feel very comfortable, but there is no way, there is no feast in the world, and when people grow up, the friends around him will always be separated one by one.

Through the phone, Xiao Mengyue also felt Zhao Yan's mood, gently biting her lip and hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed.

"Alright! Where to meet? ”

Zhao Yan smiled again and said, "Wuwei Building!" Wuweilou knows, right? ”

Xiao Mengyue: "Well, of course I know!" So close to the school! ”

Zhao Yan: "It's good to know!" Let's go now! I'll wait for you at the gate of Wuwei Building right away! ”

Xiao Mengyue: "Okay! See you in that moment! ”

Zhao Yan: "See you in a moment!" ”

After ending the call, Zhao Yan immediately got up and went back to the attic to change his clothes, and went downstairs to the meeting place.

……

Zhao Yan has always been very fast on a bicycle, in order to rush to Wuweilou as soon as possible to wait for Xiao Mengyue, Zhao Yan straightened up, the fart's strand did not fall on the saddle at all, the two long legs took turns to step effortlessly, the bicycle was stunned by him to ride out of the swordfish-like speed, on the street, his bicycle exceeded one car after another in the blink of an eye, facing the strong wind, feeling very comfortable, plus Xiao Mengyue just agreed to come, Zhao Yan's mood was good, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

Just when he was about to cross an intersection, the mobile phone in Zhao Yan's pocket suddenly rang, and Zhao Yan, who was in a flying mood, frowned, and the first thought in his heart was that Xiao Mengyue had changed her mind?

After hurriedly crossing the intersection, the mobile phone was still ringing, and Zhao Yan, who was frowning, quickly pinched the brakes, landed on the ground, stopped the bicycle, took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

Who? Isn't it Xiao Mengyue?

Puzzled in his heart, Zhao Yan was in a hurry and wanted to hang up the phone, but he was afraid that Xiao Mengyue would call from someone else's mobile phone, so he answered the phone with a little hesitation.

"Hello? Who is it? ”

Zhao Yan frowned, and his tone was neither good nor bad.

"Hey! Hello! Are you Iwami? ”

On the phone was a mature man's voice, and his tone was quite polite, but it was not Zhao Yan who asked, but Iwami.

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows.

"It's me! Who are you? ”

"Huh! Hello Iwami! I'm the editor of the Ming Book Society, and my surname is Tian! Huang Yiqing is my classmate! I wonder if he mentioned me to you? ”

The editor of the Inscription Society? Huang Yiqing's classmates?

Zhao Yan immediately understood the identity of the other party, Huang Yiqing helped him submit "Full Moon Scimitar" to the Ming Book Society, and followed the path of his classmates, it can be said that if it were not for this Tian editor, Zhao Yan's "Full Moon Scimitar" might not be so easy to publish.

Don't say anything about the first chapter of "Full Moon Scimitar" is the handwriting of Gu Long and Sima Ziyan, it will definitely be rushed by all publishing houses, in Daming, no one knows who Gu Long and Sima Ziyan are, and no one has ever heard of the pen name "Ishimi", for a work written by a pure newcomer, the review of each publishing house is very harsh.

Under normal circumstances, all editors give priority to well-known authors who have already had good results, as long as they are well-known authors, even if the level of new writing is average, most publishing houses will rush to ask for their manuscripts, because these famous authors have their own book fans, no matter what the quality of the new book is, as long as it is published, there will be a group of book fans to buy it.

But newcomer authors are different, they don't have any book fans, no matter which publishing house publishes a newcomer's new book, no accident, they can't make any money, on the contrary, the loss may be very large.

It is precisely because of this market that works of the same level can be easily published by well-known authors, but not necessarily by newcomers.

Sometimes, even if the review editor thinks the quality of the work is good, it will be rejected out of caution because the author is not famous.

Although Zhao Yan may not be completely aware of the Tao in this, he is still grateful to this editor Tian.

It was a lot more polite at the moment.

"Ahh Hello hello! Mr. Huang mentioned you to me, I wonder if you called me for something? ”

Editor Tian: "Hehe! First of all, congratulations, your copy of "Full Moon Scimitar" has been selling well recently, and I heard Yiqing say that the guaranteed quota of your university has also come down, congratulations here! Hehe! ”

Zhao Yan: "Ah! Thank you! Thank you Tian editor! ”

Editor Tian: "Well, I don't know if you've written a new book recently?" If you have one, you can send it to me to see, here is a good news for you, because your "Full Moon Scimitar" is selling well, so if you have a new book and the quality is not bad, we can give you a higher remuneration, and it will not be a new price! ”

Zhao Yan: "Oh? How many can there be? ”

Tian editor: "This ...... It depends on the quality of your new book! However, as long as you can sign a contract, your remuneration for 1,000 words this time can reach at least 60 yuan! ”

Zhao Yan blurted out: "Only 60 yuan? ”

60 thousand words, 600 10,000 words, 6,000 words for 100,000 words, and 60,000 for 1 million words.

Zhao Yan's mind flashed the Black Panther Phantom that used to pick up Xiao Mengyue every day, and the Black Panther Phantom was tens of millions, if it is calculated according to the new book of 60 thousand words, one million words is only 60,000 yuan, how many billion words do you have to write to make money for a Black Panther Phantom?

On the phone, Editor Tian snorted, and seemed to be surprised, and then he laughed twice, slowed down his voice and said, "Ishimi-san! You're still young, young people should not be too ambitious! This is your second book, and 60 words per thousand words is not low! Provided, of course, that your new book is of good quality! ”

Although there is some truth in Editor Tian's words, Zhao Yan still can't hide his disappointment.

Finding that Zhao Yan didn't speak for a long time, Editor Tian changed to a gentle tone and said, "Hehe, what I just said is just the minimum standard, if the quality of your new book is very good, the remuneration can still be mentioned a little more!" ”

"Oh, thank you Editor Tian!"

Zhao Yan is no longer as enthusiastic as before, and he is still disappointed in his heart.

He didn't know the sales of "Full Moon Scimitar", more than all the newcomers and new books published by the Ming Book Society at the same time, he thought that the manuscript fee for his next work could be greatly increased, but he didn't expect that the thousand words would only rise by 10 yuan.

Although Editor Tian just said that if the quality of his new book is very good, the manuscript fee can be increased a little more, but listening to his tone, you can know that this additional point will definitely be limited! Maybe you can add another 5 pieces and 10 pieces, if you want more, I'm afraid it's no fun.
