Over the next few days, the daily sales of the newspaper began to change dramatically.

On the first day, daily sales rose by 10%.

On the third day, daily sales rose by 20%.

With such a violent rapidity, by the time the seventh day arrived, the daily sales had risen by nearly 50%, that is, the number of new purchases per day had exceeded 100,000 copies.

This growth rate is definitely an unprecedented record for the newspaper industry.

Not only the entire newspaper industry, but also the entire cultural and entertainment industry were shocked, and at this time, "Minbao" has become a good story in the newspaper industry of the entire Yanjing.

"Minbao" has also changed from the original conservative serialization of one chapter a day to a serial of three chapters a day, and the sections of beauty tips, consumer guides, and lace news that are not much to see have all been canceled, and all have been replaced by novel columns.

And Xiao Ran soon received a call from Mr. Jin Lan, the owner and editor-in-chief of "Minbao": "Hello Mr. Xiao Ran, I don't know if you know that the daily sales of our "Minbao" have gradually begun to rise, which is all due to the fact that your "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has attracted a large number of readers, so our "Minbao" hopes to be willing to remove the manuscript fee that has been paid to you, and then wrap a big red envelope to thank you!" ”

"Minbao" has created the fastest daily sales growth rate in the entire newspaper industry, and such news has already been reported by many media, so Xiao Ran naturally already knew that when he heard Mr. Jin Lan's request to send money, he naturally would not refuse: "Then thank you "Minbao", thank you Mr. Jinlan." ”

Jin Lan's tone on the phone was very kind: "Mr. Xiao Ran is too polite, your contribution to our "Minbao" is too great, now readers are looking forward to your martial arts novels, "Minbao" is also serializing "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" in the form of three chapters a day, I believe that in less than a month, this novel may have been serialized, does Mr. Xiao Ran consider continuing to write this novel?" ”

When it comes to this problem, Xiao Ran has a headache, this "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has a total of seven series, although from the plot point of view, this kind of suspenseful reasoning novel can logically continue to be written, even if it is not a problem to write until the day Xiao Ran dies.

But the actual seven series have been written, if it is continued, Xiao Ran does not have the shocking pen power and talent of the original author of this novel, in order not to destroy this novel, Xiao Ran resolutely decided to refuse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jin Lan designed according to my plot, and this novel is ready to come to an end by this point, so I'm not going to continue writing."

Jin Lan sighed, and said with some regret: "That's really a pity, I don't know if Mr. Xiao Ran still plans to write a new martial arts novel, if you can, I hope you can start writing now, and continue to cooperate with our "Minbao" at that time, as for your manuscript fee, it will also be calculated from the day the new book is serialized in "Minbao", according to the daily sales of "Minbao", I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Judging from Jin Lan's many years in the newspaper industry, if "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" continues to be written in the form of suspenseful martial arts, as long as the quality is guaranteed, it will definitely become a hen that can lay golden eggs, but since Xiao Ran refused, he couldn't go any further, so he had to find a way to keep Xiao Ran in "Minbao".

Maybe with Xiao Ran's level, the new book will be even more popular!

Hearing that Jin Lan took the initiative to settle the manuscript fee for himself on the day of the serialization of the new book and then calculate the daily sales, Xiao Ran was already very satisfied with the attitude of "Minbao", which also proved that the other party did consider it from his own position, and it was definitely sincere.

Assuming that under the premise that the daily sales of "Minbao" were rising so rapidly, he still planned to buy out his new book at the original price of 300 words per 1,000 words, then Xiao Ran would definitely choose to refuse mercilessly.

Now the entire newspaper industry believes that it has begun to desperately dig up Xiao Ran, and the price given will be very amazing, and even a few newspapers have seen the daily sales of "Minbao" rise so violently, but they can't find Xiao Ran, so they can only open a novel column first, and then dig other famous martial arts novel authors.

It can be said that the practice of serializing novels in newspapers has gradually become accepted by everyone and is becoming a trend in the entire newspaper industry.

In fact, in the past few days, I have seen that "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" can be accepted by the market and has been very enthusiastically pursued, and almost every forum website is talking about this book, so Xiao Ran is already ready to write another martial arts novel.

And I have also chosen the three protagonists of "Dragon Babu", although this novel is written in three lines, from the perspective of the novel industry, this is a very risky way to write, but because the plot is very well written, the character creation is very distinct, and the processing of the three lines is very average and reasonable, and finally crosses together, so Xiao Ran has a certain confidence in this novel.

At this moment, I have been writing for several days, and I just happened to write about the place where the three brothers knotted.

Hearing Mr. Jin Lan's words, Xiao Ran replied directly: "Actually, nearly half of the plot of the new novel has been written, and I am also preparing to find a suitable place to serialize, if I can continue to cooperate with "Minbao", it is naturally the best, but according to Mr. Jin Lan, I hope to add more." ”

Knowing that Xiao Ran's new book had already begun to be written, and that he intended to cooperate with "Minbao" again, Mr. Jin Lan was very happy and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao Ran has a request, just mention it." ”

So Xiao Ran said: "I hope that the new book will adopt a new sharing method during the serialization of "Minbao", "Minbao" does not need to pay all my manuscript fees at one time, but adopts the method of monthly settlement, but the settlement of the manuscript fee is divided by the total sales volume of each month, as for the proportion of the share, we will discuss in detail, and strive for the satisfaction of both parties, so that I can also advance and retreat together with the "Minbao", for both of us to be guaranteed, as long as the "Minbao" is willing in the future, all my new books will be published in the "Minbao" first......"

Xiao Ran's request is not excessive, and it is also a guarantee for himself.

Because Xiao Ran knows very well that the way of serializing novels in newspapers is certainly an innovation, but in fact, for the author of serialization, it is more about gaining fame, and then about profit.

So since "Minbao" is the first to eat crabs, it is also a good thing for Xiao Ran to continue to achieve long-term cooperation with "Minbao".

And for the novels he wrote, Xiao Ran has absolute confidence, of course, he is not satisfied with the simple price increase by "Minbao", so he came up with such a way to settle the manuscript fee by monthly sales share.
