Chapter 62: Publication
The editor's name is Yan Min, a very capable woman in her twenties, Jiang Yanqing made a simple introduction, and the two sides ordered three cups of coffee face-to-face.
Yan Min exchanged a few words with Jiang Yanqing and then stopped talking, but quietly looked at the girl in front of her.
Jiang Lai's first feeling to Yan Min is that he is tall, Yan Min's height is one meter six five, which is considered medium among girls, and Jiang Lai seems to have grown a little taller after coming to the eldest aunt, it should be one meter seven and did not run.
Yan Min subconsciously compared, and was frustrated to find that he was shorter than Jiang Lai, and the other party was actually a high school student.
"Sister Miao, are you sure your niece has just entered her first year of high school?"
Jiang Yanqing smiled and replied proudly: "What?" Jealous? ”
Yan Min Nunu mouthed and nodded a little depressedly.
"Okay, you can't come all the way to miss me simply, right?" Jiang Yanqing is still as direct as ever.
"Sister mistress, you're so boring like this........... What answered her was Jiang Yan's playful expression.
Yan Min Nunu mouthed and put away his joking expression.
"OK, then I'll get straight to the point?"
Jiang Lai took a sip of coffee, and the consciousness of the fugue space returned to its original body.
"First question, is the physical publishing right of the novel still in your hands? As far as I know, generally the physical publishing rights of works that have been signed with websites are in the hands of the website. ”
"The physical publishing rights are in my hands, and I signed a special contract with Singularity, and the physical publishing rights and various adaptation rights are in my hands." Jiang Lai replied.
Yan Min looked at Jiang Yanqing suspiciously, as if asking if this little girl's words could be taken seriously?
"If you treat her like an ordinary high school student, you must be the one who regrets it in the end." The corners of Jiang Yanqing's mouth curled up with a strange arc.
"OK, the second question, about the work itself, why do you think that the novel Tomb Robbery Notes will be a success after its publication, as far as I know, it generally does not have a high evaluation on the Internet." Yan Min asked again.
"I can't guarantee it!" Jiang Lai shrugged and looked indifferent.
Yan Min was stunned, she was just habitually making things difficult for Jiang Lai, in fact, she had already learned about the book Tomb Robbery Notes, and had also reported to the leaders of the publishing house, and both sides felt that the tomb robbery notes were promising, so she rushed over in such a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai's answer was like this, shouldn't there be some reason for things related to vital interests? Even if the quality of the tomb robbery notes dictates that it doesn't need any reason at all.
"Then why do we publish your work?" Yan Min said in a muffled voice.
Jiang Lai shrugged, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and replied slightly playfully: "Because you're here!" ”
Yan Min's expression was very interesting, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes, she was too eager, but she was really worried that the tomb robbery notes would be taken by other publishing houses before coming, and she communicated with her boss and deputy editor-in-chief before coming, and agreed that the tomb robbery notes are a pioneering work for tomb robbery novels, and the content in the tomb robbery notes contains: tomb robbery, exploration, suspense, feng shui, fantasy and other elements, there is no reason to fail with such rich content.
Yan Min's Mythology Publishing House is a commercial publishing house, what they lack now is not money, but fame, no fame, many writers are not even willing to contribute, to put it bluntly, they are not sure if the tomb robbery notes can become popular, but in their opinion, this is a business, if they fail, they will only lose some money, once the tomb robbery notes are sold, it will bring them more than just monetary benefits.
"OK, last question, the tomb robbery notes have ended on the Internet, what can be seen on the Internet, how many people will buy physical books?" Yan Min raised the last question, which is certainly the most serious one.
Even Jiang Yanqing looked at Jiang Lai a little nervously.
"Give me your email address, and within a week, you'll get what you want." Jiang Lai had a faint smile on his face, and stood up and left very calmly.
"A week?" Yan Min was a little dumbfounded, is a week considered time for a physical book writer? It's just a revision, but it's too hasty for a week, right? She knows that in fact, the workload of revision is not smaller than creation, and the scope of change is small to achieve the purpose of revision, and if the amplitude is large, it is very likely that the essence of the original work will be changed, or the preface will not match the afterword, and there will be a lot of loopholes, how will the book be sold at that time?
Finally, a few days before the start of school, Yan Min received an email.
clicked on the email, and it wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Yan Min finally finished reading the email, and only now did she understand that Jiang Lai said that you will get what you want in a week, what does this sentence mean, there is no doubt in the email, it is a modified version of the tomb robbery notes, and it is indeed what she wants.
This version of the tomb robbery notes has not changed much from the version on the Internet in terms of plot, but has made changes in many details, and what is even more amazing is that these changes not only did not destroy the integrity of the story, but were more reasonable and exciting than the online version.
In fact, this is also the reason why the third uncle of the southern school was able to transition from an online writer to a well-known writer in physical publishing, and at this point, even the author of the ghost blowing the lamp "Tianxia Ba Sing" did not have the success of him.
Since the publication of the tomb robbery notes, the third uncle of the southern school has begun to call for wind and rain in the physical publishing industry, and there must be a seat for him on the bestseller list every year, which is vividly reflected in the royalty income.
Yan Min forwarded the email to his boss, and the next day he got an order to sign Jiang Lai at all costs, paying attention to signing Jiang Lai, not just signing the tomb robbery notes!
Jiang Lai didn't have too high requirements for signing the contract, but just gave a bottom line in terms of sharing, and then left it to Jiang Yanqing to discuss.
"Auntie, what would I do without you!" Jiang Lai couldn't help but coquettish after Jiang Yanqing came back.
"You, it's this little mouth sweet." Jiang Yanqing scolded with a doting smile.
The only trouble in signing the contract is that Jiang Lai is not yet an adult, and a guardian must be present when signing the contract, and Jiang Yanqing is not Jiang Lai's guardian.
Jiang Hao was in a state of confusion when he signed the contract, saying Jiang Lai? Her daughter? This is the book? Not at your own expense? Does anyone buy it? The other party can't be a liar, right?
Of course, Jiang Yanqing and Jiang Lai didn't plan to tell him too much, and after signing, he was ruthlessly abandoned.
Uh........... well, Jiang Hao thinks so too.
On the same day, Jiang Lai added a new single chapter after the finale of the tomb robbery notes.
So the nest exploded on the Internet.
"Tomb Robbery Notes" is about to be published in a physical book!
