Chapter 144: Writer's Meeting
"The editor at Phantom Press is good."
After checking the information of the Phantom Publishing House and making sure that he had not encountered a scammer, Zhang Ning happily downloaded the contract text.
Just as he was about to go out to print the contract, when he sent it to the phantom, a voice suddenly shouted, "Zhang Ning, stop." ”
"You are?"
When I looked back, I saw a heroic girl who was glaring at herself.
Yes, Zhang Ning is sure that this person with short hair is a sister.
"Zhang Ning, don't I know each other?"
"You're the class leader."
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Ning finally recognized that this person with short hair and wearing boys' clothes was Chi Mengying.
"Squad leader, why do you have this hobby?"
Looking at this strange dress, Zhang Ning couldn't help but be happy.
However, as soon as I wanted to laugh out loud, I immediately understood why Chi Mengying appeared here.
"Ah, this, squad leader, I still have something, goodbye."
"I want to go, no way."
Seeing that Zhang Ning was leaving, Chi Mengying grabbed Zhang Ning as soon as she could, "You ****, you lied to me last time, this time, I finally caught you." Let's go, come back to the classroom with me. ”
"No, it won't."
The dormitory has long said that although Chi Mengying is beautiful, it is murderous and outrageous. Unexpectedly, in order to catch himself and go to class, he even cut his hair at any cost, "Squad leader, I have been sick recently, and the doctor said that he can only let me recuperate in the dormitory?" ”
"Sick, you are so spirited, where is the disease. If there is a disease, it is a mental illness at best. ”
What to say, Chi Mengying didn't let go of Zhang Ning.
This made Zhang Ning a little crazy, looking at Chi Mengying, "I said class leader, you let go first, you grab me like this, in case someone sees it, how bad it is." ”
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, in short, you must come with me today."
Chi Mengying didn't let go of Zhang Ning even if he was killed, he was afraid of this Zhang Ning, and if he was not careful, he slipped away from under his nose.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm shouting indecent."
was forced by this sister's paper, Zhang Ning shouted.
"No one knows that you cut your throat."
"Broken throat, broken throat."
"Pounce red."
Chi Mengying was so laughed by Zhang Ning's sentence that she vomited blood.
"I didn't expect you to be quite humorous, but if you fall into my hands today, you won't be able to escape."
I didn't know that Chi Mengying's small body was so powerful, Zhang Ning made a lot of force, and he didn't break free.
"This, class leader, can you put it down first, I'll go to class with you, it's okay."
"No, you will only believe your words."
"Damn, sister, don't force me."
"What about forcing you?"
"If you do this again, I will insult you."
As he spoke, Zhang Ning stretched out his left hand on one side, grasping it, and looked at Chi Mengying's chest with straight eyes.
"You, you, you dare."
This action suddenly reminded Chi Mengying of the last time Zhang Ning insulted herself.
Looking at the way he looks now, it is clear that he definitely did not save himself last time, but was clearly a real insult to himself.
"Don't you dare, you dared last time, how can you not dare this time. I said, "Elder class, if you don't let me go, don't blame me for being rude." ”
He shook his left hand again, and seeing that Chi Mengying didn't believe it, Zhang Ning really grabbed it there.
The soft feeling came again, and then, a scream.
"Ah......h
Spread throughout the boys' dormitories.
And, after that, Chi Mengying quickly threw down Zhang Ning, and didn't know where to go in a blink of an eye.
"Hey, you want to catch me in class, hum, no way."
Shaking his left hand again, Zhang Ning smiled.
Phantom Press Regular Meeting.
"Guys, report on your recent work."
Fang Guoqiang, editor-in-chief of Phantom Publishing House, said to the editors present.
"Editor-in-Chief Fang, I recently signed three books, which are new books by three writers: Ah Xue, Brunei, and Kyushu. These three writers are popular writers recently, and their first few works have relatively high sales volume. So, I applied for a first print run of 50,000 copies, 70,000 copies, and 80,000 copies. ”
One of the editors, "Qin Yang", stood up and reported.
"Well, Ah Xue, Brunei, and Kyushu have been doing well recently, and we can promote them more."
Fang Guoqiang nodded and motioned for Qin Yang to sit down.
Then, another editor named "He Jian" also stood up, "Editor-in-Chief Fang, I haven't signed other works this month, but I still vigorously promote the new books of several previous writers." For example, Aya's works have already set a record for our company, reaching 900,000 copies, and I think this record can be raised to 1 million copies. ”
"Aya is an old writer, her strength is very good, you have done a good job, we should indeed let her reach new heights."
Fang Guoqiang smiled, Aya's new book can sell well, not only greatly enhancing Aya's reputation, but also their publishing house has benefited greatly.
Subsequently, several editors reported on the work of the month.
"Qiu Qing, what about you."
Looking at Qiu Qing sitting in the back row, Fang Guoqiang's face was a little bad.
This Qiu Qing has been the penultimate in sales for four consecutive months, and in two months, according to the company's regulations, he will be dismissed.
"I ......"
Qiu Qing stood up with some embarrassment.
looked left and right, and found that all the classmates were looking at him with a smile.
He knows that he has been the penultimate number one for four consecutive months and has become the laughing stock of the company.
"Hehe, Qiu Qing, it can't be that he hasn't signed any works."
Editor Qin Yang interjected on the side.
In their eyes, this Qiu Qing is simply stupid. Usually when there are no good bookmarks, he actually doesn't sign them. This is also the result that when there are no new book sales, Qiu Qing's performance has always ranked first. If it were them, even if there were no good works, they would pull a few works out at random.
Anyway, with the company's channels, even if it is a bad work, it can sell thousands of copies on the shelves.
"Hahaha."
This statement also made the other editors of the company laugh.
"You really didn't sign it?"
Fang Guoqiang frowned and looked at Qiu Qing.
"No, Editor-in-Chief Fang, I signed a book this month."
There was some embarrassment, Qiu Qing opened his mouth to report.
"Oh, what kind of book?"
"First intimate encounter."
"First intimate encounter?"
This name, Fang Guoqiang seems to have seen it somewhere, "This book seems to be good, have you heard it anywhere." ”
"Editor-in-chief, this book is a web novel, serialized on Tianya, and its popularity is very good."
"Oh, it's this."
Nodding, Fang Guoqiang said, "We can try this book, try to print 5,000 copies first." ”
"This, this."
Qiu Qing was a little embarrassed, and the contract he signed with Zhang Ning was 20,000 copies.
"What, this, that?"
"Editor-in-chief Fang, I have already signed a contract with that author, promising him the first printing of 20,000 copies."
"What."
Saying this, Fang Guoqiang was stunned for a moment.
"The first printing of 20,000 copies, did you open it when you were a publishing house?"
However, Fang Guoqiang didn't say this directly, but said, "Qiu Qing, how can you order 20,000 first seals." You have to know that this is an online novel, although the popularity is good, but is there an example of successful operation of online novels in China? Why did you promise him 20,000 copies at once, if you can't sell so many copies, who will be responsible? ”
"Editor-in-chief Fang, I believe that this novel will definitely sell 20,000 copies."
"It's not a question of believing or not believing each other, you are responsible for the company."
Fang Guoqiang filmed the case, "20,000 first prints are impossible, only 5,000 copies are promised." ”
Seeing the editor-in-chief like this, Qiu Qing was anxious, "Editor-in-chief Fang, this novel is really good, just go and see it." ”
"If it's really good, then it's time to print it, why do you want to print 20,000 for the first time all at once, I don't agree here."
"Editor-in-Chief Fang, that person has already sent the contract to the company, and I just signed the contract."
"What, doesn't the company have a rule, more than 20,000 first printing, do you have to report to the company, how can you make your own decisions?"
Fang Guo was furious.
"I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Fang, I remember that the company also has a rule that every editor is eligible for a 20,000 first print that does not need to be applied for once."
"Okay, Qiu Qing, you've become smarter."
Fang Guoqiang smiled angrily, "Very good, then according to the 20,000 first seals you said." ”
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Fang."
"Don't thank me, you also follow the company's regulations. But I have to sue you. 20,000 first prints is nothing, but if it really can't be sold, I will issue a notice to companies in the whole industry. I hope you are doing well, all right, adjournment. ”
As soon as the meeting was dismissed, Qiu Qing already knew that Fang Guoqiang's sentence was equivalent to blocking him in the whole industry.
However, Qiu Qing can't manage so much now. He only has two months left, and if he doesn't work hard, he will also be finished.
……
"Zhang Ning, congratulations on signing a contract for publishing your novel."
Moderator Nalan Rongruo congratulated Zhang Ning.
"Thank you, and thank you Tianya for always promoting my book."
Zhang Ning said politely.
"Hehe, it's actually better than your book, and because of your novel, we have also benefited a lot."
"Haha, then we'll all congratulate each other."
A win-win situation is what everyone wants to see.
"By the way, Zhang Ning, do you have time in the near future?"
"How?"
"Recently, there was a writers' meeting in Yanjing, and I want you to represent our Tianya and also represent online writers to participate in this conference."
"Well, it seems like there's no time."
Although he was talking about a writer's meeting, Zhang Ning didn't like to participate in this kind of social event.
"Hehe, Zhang Ning, don't refuse so quickly. This meeting, which is said to be a writers' meeting, is not necessarily a writer. There are many well-known directors, film and television producers, and they will all attend this conference. I think your novel is very contemporary, and it is also more topical, not only on behalf of the Internet, but also on behalf of Internet writers, you can make a movie, it depends on whether you can fight for it. ”
Zhang Ning was a little interested in this.
Whether it is serialized online or published, Zhang Ning is all for his QQ.
Now that it has not been published, QQ has taken advantage of the first intimate contact trend blown by the Internet to grab more than 90% of the instant messaging market. If it is published, it will make other instant messaging have no way out. Of course, if at this time, even the movie is won, I'm afraid that all competitors will not have a chance to connect.
