Chapter 126: Negotiations

Shen Xin drank two mouthfuls of porridge and calmed down.

"That...... Are you sure you won't be scammed? ”

"No, it won't. It is a relatively large light novel magazine and should be reputable. Xi Muhan said.

"How big?" Shen Xin asked.

"It's a little bigger than New World right now." Xi Muhan explained.

“……”

Even with advertising, the sales of "New World" did not rank among the top 10 domestic comic magazines.

"The magazine is called "The Softest Whisper", have you heard of Brother Xin?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

Shen Xin shook his head slightly, he only knew the three major magazines, and he didn't pay much attention to the fiction magazines.

"One million sales in a single phase, right? However, the editor said that he wanted to test the water with a short story. ”

Shen Xin nodded, it was already very good to be able to have a million copies of a novel magazine.

The difficulty of the short story lies in how to tell a complex story simply, and the difficulty of the long novel is how to not lose control of the novel after writing the novel for a long time.

The difference between the two is quite obvious.

"And what are you going to do?" Shen Xin asked.

"Fairy tales. Basically, it's about rearranging our story. Xi Muhan said.

"We? We're talking about you...... It can't just be you and me, right? Shen Xin's eyelids jumped twice.

Although he didn't have that experience, he knew through his previous memories how painful the host and Xi Muhan had been.

Since Xi Muhan took the initiative to write about that past, he should have come out of the shadows.

"Well, that's us...... The next thing. ”

"Ahem...... Sister, there doesn't seem to be anything going on between us. Shen Xin hurriedly reminded.

"Huh?" Xi Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then understood Shen Xin's words, and his little face instantly turned red, "Brother Xin, what are you talking nonsense?" I mean, how do we get over it. ”

Even if you don't, you don't have to refute it so quickly, do you?

Xi Muhan glanced at Shen Xin, a little unhappy.

"No, I'm just a little reminder that it's better not to write it as an everyday essay."

"Why?" Xi Muhan asked.

"If it's too bland, no one will look at it...... You can also ask the editors, they are more experienced, and you should be right to listen to them. Shen Xin didn't dare to say his "experience".

If an online writer changes his website, he may all be on the street, not to mention that he has changed the world now. Besides, he doesn't know what novels are popular in this world.

"Hmm. I'll ask when I'm done. ”

Looking at Xi Muhan with a serious face, Shen Xin couldn't disturb her enthusiasm, so she could only nod, and finally reminded her that she must not fall behind in her studies, and after the third year of high school, she could no longer write novels.

"I just want to prove myself, during high school, I wrote a maximum of 100,000 or 200,000 words." Xi Muhan assured.

Shen Xin is busy with "Y's" now, and he has no time to take care of Xi Muhan, so he can only hope that the little girl will keep her word.

"By the way, have you been in contact with Senior Sister Ji recently?"

After drinking the porridge, Shen Xin remembered Ji Yinxuan.

Negotiate with Song Tai tomorrow, and there is a certain probability that Ji Yinxuan will be involved. If she has time, everyone can sit down and talk together, and there will always be a good outcome.

"Sister Xuan? There is a connection. She's busy. It is said that she wants to make the game at the end of the year and promote it in the first half of next year. Before graduating from university, I want to release a game. ”

"Really?"

Shen Xin doesn't know much about the production process of the game, but it is definitely more cumbersome than drawing comics. Moreover, Ji Yinxuan will graduate next year, and the time must be relatively tight.

"What's the matter? Would you like me to ask her for you? ”

"No, I have her phone." Shen Xin shook his head, but he felt that the little girl's gaze was not good, and he frowned slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Nope. Sister Xuan is very busy, if there is nothing to do, it is best not to disturb her. Xi Muhan kindly reminded.

Hey? Didn't you just want to help me ask?

Shen Xin was confused, but he didn't think much about it.

Whether to ask Ji Yinxuan for help can only be determined after he talks to Song Tai.

I hope the old president won't make things difficult for him tomorrow.

Shen Xin thought to himself.

The next day, Shen Xin did not go to his studio, but went directly to the magazine office of "New World".

This time, instead of a group of people sitting in the conference room like before, there were only two people, Shen Xin and Song Tai.

"Congratulations."

After Shen Xin entered the door, Song Tai smiled.

"Tongxi." The corners of Shen Xin's mouth nodded slightly.

Song Tai pinched the bridge of his nose and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "Sit down...... I also know that you are a person who likes to get straight to the point, and I want to decide on the plan for the next season as soon as possible. However, the fourth volume is about to be released, and we would like to discuss it. ”

"It's for the best." Shen Xin also had the spirit, "What is the president's plan?" ”

"In view of the excellent revenue generated by this radio drama, the next volume will still be released along with the radio drama. Hopefully, the fourth volume will also have a good sale. Song Tae said.

"The operating model of the next volume will be the same as this one?" Shen Xin asked.

"Hmm." Song Tai nodded, "Since the effect is good, there is no need to make any changes." ”

Shen Xin pouted, not too surprised.

"You don't seem to be optimistic?" Song Tai was surprised.

"Hmm."

"It worked well last time."

But this model will be learned by other magazines. If Crime or other comics follow suit, we don't have much advantage. Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Song Tai frowned, his face serious.

The marketing model is the easiest to imitate, and if other magazines do imitate, it should be more thorough than "Y's". After all, Y's has proven to everyone that this model can bring great benefits.

"That'...... Do you have any new ideas? Song Tai asked rhetorically.

"There is a point, but whether it will have an effect, it is unknown."

During this period of time, Shen Xin also thought a lot, and he didn't think of a suitable idea, but he thought of an idea in the radio drama.

"What thoughts?" Song Tai hurriedly asked.

"Similar to 'unblocking', right?" Shen Xin speculated.

"Unblocking? How does it work? Song Tai looked puzzled.

"Basically, a 10-episode radio drama is recorded in advance. Every time the fourth volume sells more than 100,000 copies, two episodes are unsealed. If the sales exceed 500,000 copies, all 10 episodes will be unblocked. Shen Xin explained.

"In other words, if you can't sell 500,000 copies, won't you be able to unblock it?" Song Tai was surprised.

Shen Xin nodded honestly, "That's right, then it can't be unsealed." ”

Song Tai's brows furrowed, "Isn't the risk too great?" ”

"Wealth is in danger. Besides, the third volume sold more than 500,000 copies, and if the fourth volume can't reach this sales, then the 'Newcomer Award' is probably no longer available. Shen Xin said.

Song Tai pondered for a long time and said slowly: "If you think like this, it's not that you can't operate. I have a suggestion, though. ”

"Huh?"

"Each book comes with a questionnaire asking if they support the third season of the radio drama." Song Tae proposed.
