Chapter Ninety-Five: Simplified Chinese Publishing Finalized

PS: I drank yesterday.,Only one chapter was updated.,This chapter is a chapter that makes up for yesterday's less update.,There are two more chapters! Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for collections! Give me motivation!

Regarding Huang Qian's sarcasm, Chen Pingzhi sneered, and didn't say anything else, this chick, isn't it as you want, it's worth it?

After Huang Qian cooked and the two had breakfast, Chen Ping thought about taking Huang Qian out for a walk today, summer had come, and he would buy her a few sets of clothes. But I didn't expect Huang Qian to say that she had something to do today and didn't have time to go. In this regard, Chen Ping had no choice but to smile helplessly, and then entered his room to start coding.

It wasn't until noon that Chen Ping came to Huang Qian's room when he was about to upload the content, and found that Huang Qian replied to other people's posts in the book review area of "My Man Took Me to Kill".

Chen Ping ignored Huang Qian, took care of himself to link to the Internet, and uploaded the chapters to be released before logging in and buckling. As soon as I boarded up, I saw a message from that cold night.

"Mortal great, I killed the "Buddha is the Way" on the newcomer list, haha."

Chen Ping read the news and quickly jumped to the homepage of the starting point, really as Leng Ye said, "Buddha is the Way", which originally dominated several major lists, was really cut off by Leng Ye with a total data advantage of less than 1,000 on the newcomer list, and the three lists of the new book list and the weekly click recommendation, "Buddha is the Way" is still ranked very high.

In addition to the cold night's "I Am Xu Liguo", the two other mortal recommended "Immortal Rebellion" fanfiction is also very high on the newcomer list, and it has come to the third and fifth places at this time.

Chen Ping clicked on "I Am Xu Liguo" and read the latest chapter, and just after reading two chapters, the phone rang.

"If you have time now, you can come to the company, the simplified publishing of "Immortal Rebellion" is basically finalized, and I will wait for you to come over and confirm the agreement of zuihou." Grape said hurriedly, his tone revealing a joy that could not be concealed.

English talked?

Chen Ping listened to this for a moment, and then his face was also full of joy, his eyes were shining, and he said, "Okay, I'll go over after lunch." ”

hung up the phone and told Huang Qian the news that the grapes said, Huang Qian was also happy for Chen Ping, the simplified publication of "Immortal Rebellion" has been said for a long time, and there is always no accurate news, and now it is finally negotiated, this is not only Chen Ping's happy thing, but also represents the official entry of online literature into the ranks of simplified publishing, and it is also an opportunity for other online writers.

Chen Ping was overjoyed and decided to cook the lunch himself. After he was busy for more than half an hour, Huang Qian walked out of the room leisurely, with inexplicable pride on her face, walked to Chen Ping's side, and said, "The blood red god helped recommend me to read the book haode." ”

Well? Blood Red still does such a thing? After looking at Huang Qian, who was satisfied, Chen Ping instantly figured it out, it must have been this chick who found Xuehong and asked for help recommending it.

"Yo, you have a good relationship with the Scarlet God, and you dare to agree to this kind of request? You know, he's a little bit less popular than me now, right? Besides, this is a fanfiction of "Immortal Rebellion".,If there's anyone who has the right to recommend the most.,It's also me! ”

"Hmph, don't underestimate the influence of the great god, the blood-red god said, I read haode's book will definitely be on the newcomer list." Listening to Chen Ping hitting herself, Huang Qian frowned and looked at Chen Ping dissatisfied.

After the two of them had eaten, Chen Ping was about to go to the starting point company, Huang Qian said that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he followed Chen Ping to the starting point to see the work of those editors.

It was nearly two o'clock when the two came to the starting point company, and at this time, the editors of the starting point also began to prepare for work, many editors knew Chen Ping, and they greeted Chen Ping when they saw him coming, and those who knew a little about Chen Ping jokingly asked: "This is the mortal woman in your family?" ”

After being ridiculed by so many people in the group, Huang Qian no longer seemed restrained in the face of these editors' jokes, and looked at them with a smile.

Since Grape was promoted, Chen Ping has never been to the starting point company, and this time, he was really a little confused, and asked other editors to find Grape's office.

While the other editors' offices are a small separate area in the common area, Grape's office is a small single room with a small sitting area in addition to office facilities. Seeing Huang Qian and Chen Ping coming together, Grape quickly got up to make tea for the two, and showed off that the tea was rewarded to him by the editor-in-chief, hundreds of yuan and a tael of good tea.

"Didn't the editor-in-chief always be in charge of the simplified Chinese publishing you mentioned? Tell me what's going on. "Chen Pinglai's purpose is to publish in simplified Chinese, and of course he doesn't want to waste time with Grape, who has some chatter.

"Yes, it's the editor-in-chief who is in charge. This morning, the people from the publishing house called again, saying that they agreed to the terms that the editor-in-chief had put forward before, and their editors were already on their way to S City, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the afternoon. I look at the editor-in-chief's expression, as if he is very satisfied with this matter, I estimate that your royalties will be very good, and when the time comes, the website will use this matter to hype it up, and it is not a problem to estimate sales or anything. You must know that this is another big news in the online literature industry, simplified publishing is the dream of many writers in their lifetime, but this road was closed to death before, and now it has been opened by "Immortal Rebellion", how many writers have to thank you. ”

Grape is right, Chen Ping also thought of this, but he never dared to ask others to be grateful to him, for human nature, Chen Ping didn't dare to think too well, the sentence of shooting the first bird is not groundless. "Immortal Rebellion" has achieved a lot of glory that is difficult for other writers to achieve in their lifetimes, and if it is hyped again, it will undoubtedly be pushed to the forefront, and what awaits "Immortal Rebellion" is not glory, but more of a turbulent undercurrent under the waves.

Waiting at about four o'clock in Grape's office, the editor-in-chief called and asked Grape to take Chen Ping to his office.

Huang Qian stayed in Grape's office to surf the Internet, and Chen Ping went to the editor-in-chief's office with Grape.

The publishing house that has the intention of publishing "Immortal Rebellion" is the Southwest Publishing House, which has a strong strength in China, not only has the most professional editors, but also has broad sales channels, but all the books published by this publishing house can basically get good sales, so it is a little difficult to publish a book in this publishing house.

There are three editors sent by the publishing house, one is the content editor, that is, the editor who is responsible for the daily review, and the other two are the legal staff of their publishing house who are responsible for the signing of the contract.

After the introduction of the editor-in-chief, Chen Ping knew that Weishenme and the two sides were always at odds with each other about the simplified publication of "Immortal Rebellion". Southwest Publishing House is also the first time to set foot in online novels, and they have too many doubts and distrust of the huge "Immortal Rebellion". With a length of nearly 7 million words, if it is published in simplified Chinese, at least 30 copies are required, and they are very cautious about whether such a book can bring profits to the publishing house.

In addition, the issue of royalties is also a hurdle in the negotiations between the two parties.

As the first published online novel, the royalties of "Immortal Rebellion" not only represent the income of mortals themselves, but also secretly represent the status of online novels in simplified publishing.

After Chen Ping figured it out, the legal staff of Southwest Publishing House took out a contract to prepare haode and handed it to the legal staff at the starting point.

After waiting for the legal staff at the starting point to take a closer look, they nodded to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief took the contract and took a few general glances.

"I don't know what caused your attitude to change so quickly, but my personal guess must have something to do with the sales of "Immortal Rebellion" on Treasure Island. The sales of "Immortal Rebellion" in Treasure Island must have also gotten the data, and the sales volume directly proves the value of the book "Immortal Rebellion". So, for the royalties you give, I think it's still too low. You know, the cost of simplified publishing is much lower than that of traditional publishing, and the royalty points given by Baodao Publishing House are higher than those given by you, don't you think it's a little inappropriate? ”

Originally, I thought that this matter had been talked about Chen Ping, but when I heard the editor-in-chief say this, I was a little surprised, I took the contract from the editor-in-chief's hand and looked at it, and when I saw the royalty increase, Chen Ping was also a little angry in his heart. But he didn't say anything, he knew that the editor-in-chief knew more about this kind of thing than himself, and he also believed that the editor-in-chief would win enough benefits for himself.

The content editor of Southwest Publishing House smiled awkwardly and said, "The royalty is really not high, and we also have our own considerations." First of all, "Immortal Rebellion" is the first published online novel in China, and the length is huge, and the publishing house will also take a lot of risk if it publishes the book "Immortal Rebellion". Also, the influence of the starting point Chinese network in the domestic online literature industry is too great, and it is no exaggeration to say that the current online literature industry is a monopoly. Try to ask, "Immortal Rebellion" is the most popular fairy novel in the starting point Chinese network, how many readers have not read this book? And whether it's looking at the genuine or shift work. For those readers who have already read the electronic version of "Immortal Rebellion", will they still be willing to spend money on the physical book of "Immortal Rebellion"? No matter what type of book it is, you have to rely on sales to make profits, and your electronic share is also in this model. We don't have the slightest doubt about the content of "Immortal Rebellion" now, mainly because of the skeptical attitude towards sales. ”

The editor of Southwest Press was right that Chen Ping had always had great hopes for simplified Chinese publishing, making him ignore the purchasing power of his readers. For readers who have already read the full text, how many are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a set of novels they have read?
