Chapter Fifty-Nine: High Manuscript Fees (Seeking Collection)
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes?" Hua Zhihong and Fan Wei glanced at each other and did not take the lead in questioning.
"What kind of novel is this? Written by Liqing? Liqing, how old are you? Although he didn't put forward any straightforward denial, a few questions still showed Hua Zhihong's doubts.
Chen Liqing is just a child, what kind of novel can he write.
"I'm nine years old, and I'm about to be ten." When asked about his age, Chen Liqing was also a little helpless, but he still answered honestly.
"Ten years old, Liqing, do you know how much it costs to publish a novel?" Hua Zhihong's brows couldn't help frowning. Immediately, he looked at Chen Liqun, his eyes full of doubt.
"Uncle Hua, I know you may not believe it, but I've been cranky since I was a child. This is the opening novel I wrote, you can check it out. ”
With no evidence, Chen Liqing hurriedly took out the beginning of the Condor Shooting that had been written before from his arms.
To be honest, he originally wanted to write Tianlong Babu. It's just that Guo Jing has to compound the historical trend a little more, and in "The Condor", "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people", this inspiring and encouraging sentence, he wants to use the novel to say it to the people of this era.
Of course, without the Condor, there would be no Condor. In the Condor, Guo Jing said to Yang Guo that if you want to be in this era, you must first publish "Shooting the Condor" and then serialize "The Condor". Although there are some twists and turns, Chen Liqing only has this method at present.
"You've already written?" Hua Zhihong took the novel written by Chen Liqing with some surprise, and with a hint of doubt and doubt, he looked down slowly.
Fan Wei couldn't help but lean over at this time, wanting to see what novel Chen Liqing could write.
Who knows, when the two of them saw it, they fell into it.
At the beginning of the Condor shooting, the appearance of Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin was written. However, as soon as they appeared on the stage, Zhang 15 and the two of them, plus Qu Laosan and Jin Guo, and some dialogues with the Southern Song Dynasty court, had unique insights and fascinating views. makes people involuntarily think about the difference between the Jin Kingdom at that time and the late Qing Dynasty now, and then with this kind of question and curiosity about the novel, Hua Zhihong and Fan Wei were fascinated all of a sudden.
Chen Liqun saw that the two of them were already fascinated, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Liqing.
"Little brother, how does your head look like this?"
Of course, Chen Liqun was the first to see Chen Liqing's plagiarized Condor Shooting, and at that time, he was the same as these two, and he couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw it.
Now seeing the two of them like this, he can only look at his fifth brother carefully, wanting to see what is in the fifth brother's head.
High-yield vegetables, fertilizers, as well as hot pot, and alabaster all came out of Chen Liqing's brain, and now, in addition to these things, Chen Liqing actually has time to write such a good-looking novel, which has to make him admire.
Nowadays, vernacular language has appeared in newspapers, but the application of vernacular language is far from mature. Chen Liqing's plagiarized novels, in which the language is not only easy to understand, but also has some poetic rendering. It can be said that it combines vernacular and ancient Chinese very cleverly and maturely. The novels written in this language can be said to be suitable for all ages, and it is suitable for the atmosphere of this era.
Chen Liqun can already foresee that this kind of novel written by the younger brother will make money for them again.
"Hehe, second brother, it's such a long time." was looked at by Chen Liqun with demonic eyes, and if he saw too much, Chen Liqing was not afraid of boiling water.
Chen Liqun immediately gave Chen Liqing a roll of his eyes.
"Ah, no? Finished? What's next? Soon, Hua Zhihong and Fan Wei finished reading the beginning of the 20,000 words written by Chen Liqing. It's just that suddenly there is no wonderful place, and the two of them can't help but feel a little lost, and they rummaged through the manuscripts in their hands, trying to find a place where they haven't seen anything to write into.
"Done? Uncle Hua, Uncle Fan, what do you think of this novel I wrote? Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two, Chen Liqing smiled secretly and stepped forward to remind.
"Ah, Liqing...... You ......" and Chen Liqing's reminder, the two of them realized that they were reading the novel, and the author of the novel was still the previous one.
"Liqing, what's next? How are Bao Xiweak and Yan Lie? After reacting that Chen Liqing was the author of the novel, Hua Zhihong was not thinking about embarrassment, but wanted to continue to ask about the plot of the next novel.
This novel can be said to be a wonderful novel at the forefront of this era, and it is different from what Hua Zhihong has seen in the past, and he sees something in it that seems to allude to the current situation in the Qing Kingdom. Not only did he feel that his thinking was inspired, but in just 20,000 words, he couldn't imagine that the plot was so twisty and moving, and after reading it, it was a pleasure.
"The next development ......" Chen Liqing was helpless, "Uncle Hua, I haven't thought of the next development yet, you say, can I publish this novel?" ”
After telling a little lie, Chen Liqing turned to business.
"Didn't come up with it?" Hua Zhihong and Fan Wei couldn't help but be disappointed, but after a while, Hua Zhihong finally realized what he was doing.
"Hey, nephew Liqingxian, you really wrote this novel?"
Chen Liqing nodded, and he could only say sorry to Old Man Jin in his heart.
"This ...... Liqingxian's nephew, you, you are really, really heavenly, a genius in the sky......" Hua Zhihong had to look at Chen Liqing in admiration.
He admits that even if he were asked to write it, he would not have been able to write such a novel. He didn't expect that in addition to Chen Liqun, Chen Liqing was also such a genius!
"Thank you Uncle Hua for the compliment, Uncle Hua, can my novel be published or serialized in the newspaper?" Chen Liqing doesn't want to hear some praise, what he cares about most now is to make money by publishing.
"Of course, of course! If this kind of novel can't be published, what am I going to do with a bookstore! Hua Zhihong nodded heavily.
Chen Liqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That Liqing, how many words can you complete in a day for such a novel? If you can keep up the speed, I'm willing to give you a fee of 20 yuan for 1,000 words. Hua Zhihong continued.
Twenty in a thousand words!
Fan Wei and Chen Liqun's eyes couldn't help but widen, and they couldn't help but gasp!
God, is it that high?
Chen Liqing also looked at Hua Zhihong with some surprise, you know, he has read some information, saying that when a celebrity like Liang Qichao writes something, the Commercial Press only gives a manuscript fee of 20 thousand words, which is equivalent to 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan in later generations. A word is worth one dollar, and for 10,000 words a day, Chen Liqing can earn 200 yuan, which is equivalent to three years of wages for ordinary workers.
He...... He is a small child, and now he can make money, make a lot of money?
After Chen Liqing was surprised, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I can write!" I can write 10,000 words a day! He hurriedly promised. If he is rich and doesn't make money, if he wasn't afraid that Hua Zhihong would be surprised, he would want to write all the legends of the Condor Heroes directly.
"Okay, if only I could write!" Hua Zhihong nodded: "Then let's discuss how to publish the ......."
Publishing novels is not comparable to the physical cosmetics business, Hua Zhihong can immediately talk to Chen Liqing about the issue of manuscript fees, publishing and signing contracts. So in the next hour, it was Chen Liqing's turn to talk to Hua Zhihong, and Chen Liqun and his master watched from the sidelines, witnessing the advent of the first high-selling martial arts novel in the late Qing Dynasty.
After coming out of Hua Zhihong's house, it was already dark at night.
"Uncle Fan, I'm sorry for you today, this is a mask made by our family, Uncle Fan will take it back to Sister Fan to use, I believe she can like it too."
When separating from Fan Wei, Chen Liqing took out a pack of facial masks again, which was regarded as thanking Fan Wei for his help.
If it weren't for Fan Wei, the governor's master, to help today, the two brothers would not have met Hua Zhihong so easily and reached a cooperation with Hua Zhihong.
Fan Wei has done their family a great favor!
"Hehe, then I'll take it, Liqing, Liqun, you two don't have to send it, just go here, I can find home." Fan Wei took it with a smile and waved goodbye.
In fact, Fan Wei's original investment of 100 yuan is equivalent to entering the shares of Pingyue Agricultural Corporation, plus Chen Liqing They can get close, he and the Chen family already have a relationship, some small things, he will naturally not be polite.
"Well, Uncle Fan, be careful." The two brothers Chen Liqing said goodbye to Fan Wei.
"Huh, second brother, the matter in Guiyang is settled, maybe I will return to Pingyue tomorrow." After saying goodbye to Fan Wei, Chen Liqing turned his head to look in the direction of the Hua family, and couldn't help but stretch his waist and breathe a long sigh of relief.
The purpose of his coming to Guiyang can be regarded as a temporary achievement, not only achieved, but also some surprises.
"Yes, little brother, you should go home, but your second brother and I are born to work hard." When Chen Liqun heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To be honest, with Chen Liqing by his side, he felt that everything should be easier. And this time he was just busy with the hot pot thing, and then he had to discuss the expansion of cosmetics with Hua Zhihong, thinking about so many things, Chen Liqun felt his scalp tingle again.
"Hehe, who called you my second brother, as the eldest brother, you have to be busy." Hearing the second brother's complaint, Chen Liqing couldn't help but smile.
"However, second brother, I don't have a vacation when I go home, I also have to pay attention to the cultivation of aloe vera, if we can't get 2,000 boxes of masks after this winter, our expansion plan next year will have to be slowed down."
"Also, it's the New Year, and Mom and Dad always need to be alone." Chen Liqing said that his affairs are no less than Chen Liqun's.
He not only has to pay attention to the greenhouse planting of aloe vera, but also plagiarize novels, which can be regarded as a physical work, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, he needs to preside over some gifts and rewards in Pingyue Company, and the new company always has to give people a new atmosphere. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and everything at the beginning naturally needs to be noted.
Thinking of so many things, Chen Liqing also felt some pressure, and he was worried about talent again.
Thinking of this, Chen Liqing and the two brothers could only look at each other and smile bitterly, feeling that they were difficult brothers.
But even if it was difficult before, the two brothers could only move forward slowly side by side!
