-165- The friendship boat of the two literary giants capsized

Soon, a week after the release of Death Note, the initial data on the physical book was released.

With the change in the way readers read, in fact, since the beginning of this year, the sales of light physical books in the industry have continued to decline, and on the contrary, more and more readers have bought electronic versions.

For example, at the beginning of the year, the first volume of "clannad" written by Li Xiaoci only had 800,000 initial data, and in March, the first volume of "The Gate of Destiny Stone" was only 500,000, what is this concept?

Two years ago, when Li Xiaoci had just become famous and started writing the first volume of "White Album", he had already reached this number at the beginning!

Although this is related to the slow heat of the stone gate itself, even the sales of Mo Shao's works are getting lower and lower, which has indeed affected the self-confidence of many practitioners.

And now, the first-week sales of Death Note have once again broken the million mark, reaching an unprecedented 130 copies, which is undoubtedly very inspiring!

"Hey, you don't need to tell me about such a small thing as the first million, it's a big fart." On QQ, after hearing the news from Chen Yulan, Derpy Mao pretended to reply calmly.

"......" Chen Yulan.

In fact, last year, Li Xiaoci did have a work of the first million, in other words, the first million is a big deal for other writers, but it is really not new for Derpy Mao, because it is not the first time for her!

However, Chen Yulan still wants to say...... This is a different situation!

Last year, homestays were still used to buying physical books to read, and light literature never thought about improving the reading experience of the electronic version, at that time, there were only a handful of people who bought the electronic version on the official website, and everyone tended to look at physical books. Among them, like my sister, Brother Cheng, or something, it's naturally not the pinnacle work of the magic boy, right? But the initial sales still reached the terrifying figure of one million.

And this year, Light Literature has seriously made its own official website, and it has also improved the experience of using the APP, resulting in a great increase in the number of readers who buy the electronic version, and it can start to move millions in this environment, which is terrible, which is equivalent to going against the current, there must be strong quality and fan cooking power, and it must be to the extent that a single fan is willing to buy two or three copies in one go.

(The remuneration for the electronic version is naturally calculated separately)

Of course, this change in the industry environment is only known to practitioners like Chen Yulan, as for Li Xiaoci...... She didn't have that concept at all.

Anyway, RBQ, no matter how much BB you have, it's not "magic less nb" when translated!

I already know I'm awesome, so don't explain it, it hurts my brain!

But......

After thinking about it, Li Xiaoci still turned on the calculator on his mobile phone and carefully calculated how much money he made this week.

The first 130 volumes, a book of 20 yuan, is divided into 10%, in other words, I earned 2.6 million in a week......

It's not that I don't know, I'm shocked, and when I see this number, Derpy Mao suddenly fell into a groove!

The initial move of 1.3 million sounds like no concept, does it originally represent so much small money?

This is still not included in the electronic version of the remuneration!

Yes, at this moment, she suddenly had a momentum for code words!

It's still the kind that spills a thousand miles!

Thereupon......

Early June.

Li Xiaoci also stayed at home and began to write the first volume of "The New World" in earnest.

Basically, you don't have to go out once a week, you eat and drink all by takeout, and you play games every day after coding, watching animation or something, so every time Chen Yulan passes by her house after work and comes over to urge the draft, you can see this thing lying on the sofa with a salted fish face, yawning while watching the animation, and scratching her belly and picking her feet from time to time.

can only say that in addition to her appearance, she is no different from ordinary dead houses in other aspects.

In fact, as a young entrepreneur, Li Xiaoci shouldn't be so idle, at least the company has to go, right?

However, in view of Li Xiaonan's strong personal ability, one person can manage the company in an orderly manner, so Li Xiaoci found that with her sister here, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether she goes to the company or not?

Then don't go!

How cool it is to stay at home and salted fish!

Of course, her sister's personal ability is definitely not innate, but acquired. When the sisters were very young, as a far-sighted top entrepreneur of the flower planter, Li Hailong had already discovered that Li Xiaoci would do nothing but cause chaos, and if he handed over the family property to Li Xiaoci in the future, it would definitely not take long to lose it.

In order to prevent Li Xiaoci from starving to death in the future, Li Hailong had to put all his energy on Li Xiaonan, teaching by word and deed, and training as a hell-level devil since he was a child, so that even if the bear child will achieve nothing in the future, there will be her sister to support her, which is the source of Li Xiaonan's powerful ability.

Li Hailong would not have thought at that time that this would become the reason for Derpy Mao to be salted fish now.

But......

The first volume of "The New World" was written very quickly.

The original work of "Since the New World" is science fiction, and Li Xiaoci is used to writing lightly, and the style has been formed, even if it is written according to the outline of the original work, the story feels like it will have a certain degree of impact, but overall it is quite reductive.

To be honest, "Since the New World" can no longer be regarded as the mainstream light in the current industry, but before the era of peace, that is, during the war era, there were many serious and heavy light themes in the industry, so even if the style of "New World" is weird, as long as the illustrations are beautiful, even if it is light, it is harmless, even if its story is not "light".

Newsroom.

After receiving the original manuscript of the first volume of "New World" on QQ.

Chen Yulan also began to seriously review.

The story of "New World" is lighter than the industry's conventions, and it is indeed difficult to understand, because there are too many worldview settings and foreshadowings in it.

After reading the first volume......

Chen Yulan felt as if she didn't understand.

According to the content of the first volume, it seems that superpowers have appeared in modern society, and after the appearance of superpowers, they began to destroy social stability and cause wars.

Then, when it comes to the protagonist's generation, it is already a thousand years after the world has passed.

During this period, history has been broken, and it is only known that the protagonist and the other five people were born in a small village like a primitive agrarian society, and each of them will awaken their magic power when they become adults. In addition to the humans in the village, there is also an ugly creature called the rat people, rat people, who regard humans with magical powers as gods and become slaves of humans.

In short, after Chen Yulan finished reading it, there was a strong feeling that her IQ was not enough.

For example, the male protagonist and his party ran to a place where they shouldn't be because they violated the rules of human beings, and their magic power was sealed by a monk.

According to the previous meaning, this so-called "mana" must be a superpower, right?

So it's all superpowers, and it can still be sealed by a bald donkey?

Damn, this thing shouldn't be writing science fiction with superpowers as fantasy, right?

Of course, she was confused in her heart, and she complained about it, and she immediately began to arrange the publicity work of this book, with the experience of Shimen, now don't say that the main line of writing is chaotic, even if this thing is written a little more shit, Chen Yulan will not have any opinions.

……

During the promotion of the sci-fi "New World" of the magic boy......

In a high-end community.

Mr. Xie Wenyuan is also paying attention to Li Xiaoci's new book because of "Death Note", and if the first volume of "From the New World" is released, he will probably buy it back and read it.

Besides!

He also ordered the entire series "White Album", "April is Your Lies" and "Kyoto Shibato Monogatari" ordered online.

In this way, in the period before the release of the first volume of "New World" and the second volume of "Death Note", I will not be left without books to read.

Yes, for Xie Wenyuan, whether it is the reasoning circle, the science fiction circle, or the youth in the literary world, he has basically watched it all these years, and for him, it is simply a new continent that has never been discovered!

Even he was very grateful to Yin Zuwen, an old friend, after all, if it weren't for this old guy's strong Amway, he might not be able to find such a treasure until he died.

is worthy of being an old friend of mine for many years, it is reliable!

Come on, come on!

Let's watch "White Album" first, hey, the whole series is only two volumes, and the old man can do it in one night!

Thereupon......

In the evening, sitting in the study, Xie Wenyuan also happily began to read.

But......

If Xie Wenyuan could still smile from time to time when he watched the first volume of "White Album" in the first half of the night, feeling that this young man's love was so fresh, then in the second half of the night, when he opened the second volume of "White Album", Xie Wenyuan's expression began to distort.

First there was a strange pain in my stomach, then a pain in my chest, as if something had shattered to the ground. Finally, when Yukina utters the famous "Why is this happening?" at the end...... Xie Wenyuan's mentality collapsed directly.

Why is this so? The first time I had a good friend I could trust, the first time I discovered such an excellent work, the combination of two happy things, it should have brought me greater happiness, why did I feel so miserable?

In fact, after watching "White Album", Xie Wenyuan has realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, with a little bit of luck, after resting for two days to ease his emotions, he continued to open and finish reading "April is Your Lie".

After reading it this time, he rested for three days before he could barely recover.

Finally, there is "Kyoto Shibato Monogatari".

After watching Bai Xue and Four Lies in a row, he dared to continue to watch Mo Shao's works, Xie Wenyuan himself admired his courage. It's just that the title of "Kyoto Shibato Story" is really interesting and unpredictable, so Xie Wenyuan gritted his teeth and opened it.

After all, he has been tortured by Bai Xue and the Four Lies, so he should have some resistance, right?

There are four volumes of "The Tale of Kyoto Shibato", one more volume than the four lies, and reading three volumes in one night is already the limit of Xie Wenyuan's reading speed, so he only read the first three volumes of "Kyoto Shibato Story" the night before, that is, the three volumes of Brother Cheng's acquaintance with Guiyanye, the world, and Qingpu Instant.

For the first three volumes, Xie Wenyuan felt very relieved, finally there was a comfortable book of love light, not easy, really not easy!

It seems that Yin Zuwen's old dog hasn't been cheating on himself! There is still a bit of friendship between them!

Striking while the iron was hot, Xie Wenyuan's strong curiosity made Xie Wenyuan open the final volume the next day.

Thereupon......

That night, the friendship boat of the two literary giants capsized.
