Spring and Weirdo met Ms. Jiang at the door of a Brazilian barbecue restaurant. Spring and Ms. Jiang had a one-time acquaintance, for this woman who was younger than her, she was not restrained at all, as soon as they met, she said: "We have a meal, we are full, we can't eat barbecue, can we talk in another place?" ”

Ms. Jiang looked around and said, "Let's go to McDonald's and talk." ”

There weren't many people in McDonald's, and as soon as Ms. Jiang entered, she asked, "What do you want to eat?" I'm going to buy it. ”

Spring said, "We don't eat anything, just buy two glasses of water." ”

Ms. Jiang walked to the counter, arranged the strange man in the seat in the spring, and went to the bathroom. When she came back, Ms. Jiang was chatting with the strange husband: "Why is your novel more and more depressing?" Not as witty and humorous as it used to be? ”

Spring took over the conversation and said: "His mood is depressed, can he not be depressed when he writes something." ”

The strange man disagreed: "Am I depressed? Isn't that what life looks like? I just wrote about life as it is, and if I say it is depressed, I can only say that the viewer lives too comfortably, and I don't know that there are heavy things in life. ”

Spring hated iron and steel, and said: "He is too willful, how many times have I told him, the era of pure literature has passed, if you want to be popular, you have to write something that is not grounded, people look cool and you will be popular, he just doesn't listen, he prefers to write about life, there are too many forbidden areas in life, you don't know who will offend." ”

Ms. Jiang said: "There are so many good-looking novels on the Internet, do you know why I want to publish his novels? ”

Spring shook his head. "I don't know." ”

Ms. Jiang said: "What I like is him, now there are fewer and fewer authors who dare to face life, most of them are ridiculing life, such works are far from literature but are thousands of miles wrong, they are written for people without thoughts, although the weird man also borrows some ridiculing methods from online novels, but he still follows the techniques of traditional literature, and it is he who I admire." ”

Spring said: "Although his novels dare to face life directly, they may not be profitable, and you are not afraid of losing money and making money when you publish his novels?" ”

"I admit that publishing his novel is very risky," Ms. Jiang said. If the sales are not good, there is a good chance that the book will be smashed in my hands. That's why I only give you 20,000 yuan, and I don't dare to give more, and we also want to reduce losses. ”

Spring looked at Ms. Jiang in a daze, and said, "According to what you say, you gave us 20,000 yuan and gave us too much?" A book he worked so hard to write is not worth 20,000? Forget it. We're not selling this book. I'll leave it to the website. ”

Ms. Jiang said with a smiling face, "I didn't mean that. Since we said 20,000, I will give you 20,000, and this will not change. There will be profits in the future—"

Spring interrupted her and said, "You won't change, but I've changed, I'll tell you that 20,000 is no longer there, and if you don't talk about it, you have to give 50,000, otherwise you won't talk." ”

Spring's tone was very resolute, she thought she would bargain with her, but she didn't expect her to agree: "Fifty thousand is fifty thousand, but he still needs to change this novel, this is not good." ”

The strange man said: "I have a few chapters written out of order, that is to catch up with the task, not enough polish to send it, I am now writing a chapter in two days, three changes to the draft, just to keep improving, to write my novel more perfect." ”

Ms. Jiang said: "You didn't understand what I meant, I didn't mean that your novel was crudely written, I meant that you could write more daringly, you wrote a little conservatively, and you were timid." ”

The strange man said, "Why don't I want to write more daringly?" It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare, in the past, I always thought that online novels could be played to the fullest like physical books, but then I found out that it didn't work, so I became cautious, and I was afraid of causing some trouble. ”

Ms. Jiang said: "If you write a novel on the Internet, you can be cautious, I give you a physical book, some things can not be written on the Internet, physical books can still be written, physical books are different from online novels, relatively speaking, the artistry is stronger, as long as you are not naked to cater to low-level tastes, it will not cause any trouble, now the book market management is more strict is not for works of art, it is for those vulgar things, sometimes the collection is to prepare for the release, a hundred flowers bloom, There must be a good environment for a hundred schools of thought, no, now some things are really garbage, it has reached the point where it is not cleaned up, your novel does not belong to which category, you don't need to tie your hands and feet, you can let go of the courage to write, in addition, you don't need to be so yourself, why do you have to pursue perfection, sometimes defects can show personality, in a sense, defects are also a kind of beauty. ”

A woman with a satchel came up to them and asked, "Do you want to buy a book?" She opened her satchel and showed them, and when she saw that there were many books in it, she waved her hand at her and said, "Go!" Go! Sell it over there, we don't want it. ”

When the woman was leaving, Ms. Jiang stopped her and said, "What books are there?" Let me see. ”

The woman brought the satchel to Ms. Jiang, who took out a book from it and asked, "How much does this book cost?" ”

The woman said, "Twenty dollars." ”

Ms. Jiang said, "Can it be cheaper?" ”

The woman said, "Give eighteen." ”

Ms. Jiang took out twenty yuan and handed it to the woman and said, "Find me two yuan." ”

The woman found the money, left the book behind and left.

Spring said, "You shouldn't give her eighteen, give her ten dollars and she will buy it for you." ”

Ms. Jiang asked rhetorically, "Don't you want to know what kind of book this is?" ”

Spring asked, "What book?" ”

Ms. Jiang showed her the written book, and Spring exclaimed: """Strange Husband Runs a Group", it can't be a book with the same name, right?" ”

Ms. Jiang handed the book to Spring, who flipped through it and suddenly let out a scream: "Oh, what a weird novel, this is a pirated copy, right?" ”

Ms. Jiang said, "Can't you see it? ”

Spring said, "I'll have to buy a few copies of pirated copies." ”

Spring ran out to chase the woman, but after a round and no one could find her, she returned to her seat in a huff, and said, "She ran so fast, and in a blink of an eye she was gone." ”

Ms. Jiang said, "Why are you chasing her?" Catch up, and what you bought back is also pirated books, which makes no sense, you still wait for us to give him a genuine book, and you can buy it again. ”

Spring said in a consultative tone, "Can you sell me that book?" I'll give you fifty dollars. As she spoke, she took out fifty dollars and handed it over.

Ms. Jiang smiled: "I will give it to you if you want, put the money away......" (to be continued......)
