sent an email to discuss in detail, and finally the other party gave Tang Mingyao a price.

55 RMB for 1,000 words.

This price is not high, his "Martial Arts Supreme", serialized in the magazine, the later price is 100 yuan per thousand words, and there is a 10% royalty for the collection of books, and there are more than 100 or 200 thousand words.

But traditional publishing, this 55 yuan, is already the highest price among many publishing houses.

Converted, 200,000 words is about $1,500, which is $300 more than the previous book.

Tang Mingyao was a little unwilling, and replied by email: "What about direct sharing?" Isn't there a division of traditional Chinese publishing? ”

The other party replied: We publish novels in the mainland, and the rules of the industry are like this, they are all buyout prices. Unless you can become a top author, and there are works on our side that have been on the bestseller list, then you are eligible to negotiate terms with the publisher.

Tang Mingyao asked again: How did I get in my last book "Modern Legends"?

The other party replied: Yes, when I left the company, the first printing was already sold out, and the reprint was also partially sold, and the sales volume was 60,000 or 70,000 copies.

It's okay, but it doesn't seem to be a big hit.

The trend of this book market is really difficult to grasp, and he really can't talk about the price without the big hits.

After this round of submissions, he found that he took it for granted that he could get a high price for magazine serialization, and that simplified publishing was also directly shared, and it was not natural for traditional publishing to increase the price? Now it seems that this is not the case.

The market situation is like this, he wants to turn over some waves alone, and he is not qualified now.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to hand over "Martial Arts Supreme" to this editor.

55 thousand words is also money, if he doesn't publish it, he won't have a penny, and he can get tens of thousands of dollars if he publishes it.

As for saying that he will be better mixed in the future and then consider publishing traditional Chinese, Tang Mingyao said that he does not want to wait, because he doesn't know how many years it will take.

Moreover, the follow-up works of "Martial Arts Supreme" continue to appear, at most in a year or two, his work will be shocked to no novelty, and then I am afraid that the price will fluctuate.

It's better to come out early.

The previous book didn't open up the market, so let's take this book to hit it.

If "Martial Arts Supreme" can't open the traditional market, go to the best-selling list and take a look, he will broadcast live...... There is no live broadcast at this time, forget it.

After making up his mind, Tang Mingyao immediately talked to the editor about the details of the publication, but there was nothing to talk about, mainly the payment method.

In the end, the other party told him that he could open a bank card with foreign exchange business, and the Bank of China in the mainland had this business, so that they could send money directly without the trouble of sending letters or remitting money. They've done the same with other authors lately.

Tang Mingyao agreed, thinking that this would be easy, just go back and ask his father to help him get a card.

After finalizing the publication, he had some leisure and went to the end of the world for a walk.

The main thing is to find that Xiao Yu teacher.

The last time I talked to this person about Luo Wenxi's situation, from the words, Tang Mingyao found that this person was a bit level, these days he has figured out some ways to solve the problem of his girlfriend wanting to drop out of school, but he is not sure, and he wants to find someone to discuss and discuss.

Log in to the forum, turn over the previous post, and find that the other party finally replied, just a few dozen minutes ago.

Teacher Xiaoyu: I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to surf the Internet, so I'm sorry.

Tang Mingyao hurriedly replied: It's okay, I want to trouble you and disturb you.

This time, the other party actually replied in seconds: I have time now, or do I still talk about the previous incident? Tell us about your progress.

Tang Mingyao: Can you add a QQ private chat? Some privacy, not very easy to talk about in the forum.

The other party agreed, and sent a QQ number over.

Tang Mingyao added, and found that his QQ number was also called Teacher Xiaoyu, so he didn't think much about it, and chatted directly.

Teacher Xiao Yu: Tell me about your progress?

Tang Mingyao: Recently, I went to ask the girl's mother, and I found out something new, that is, the girl was abandoned by her mother when she was more than two years old, but she herself does not remember...... I'm thinking about it now, to solve her psychological problems, it's useless to blindly escape, I have to let her face it, but I'm afraid of causing secondary damage, so I want to ask your opinion.

Teacher Xiaoyu: Do girls usually behave rebellious? If it's okay, let them talk to each other and tell the truth. You may feel heartache or unacceptable at the time, and it is possible to make a big fuss, but after that, it will be much more down-to-earth. After all, the girl subconsciously actually knows about it, doesn't she?

Tang Mingyao: I think so too. Fear comes from the unknown, and when I really say it, I am not so afraid.

Xiao Yu: You're right.

Tang Mingyao asked again: In addition, I am still thinking that a person who is afraid of being abandoned is actually not strong enough to be independent, so she needs others to take care of her. If she could be independent and live a confident life, wouldn't she have to be afraid of being abandoned?

Teacher Xiaoyu: That's right. This brings us back to what you said earlier, to find her strengths, to discover them, and to make her shine. These two things are actually one and the same.

Tang Mingyao: Thank you, I understand how to do it. I would venture to ask, what do you do? It feels like you know a lot about it.

Teacher Xiao Yu: Doctor, psychiatric.

Tang Mingyao: ......

No wonder, when talking about these problems, it turns out that it is this profession.

After coming down, Tang Mingyao pondered alone for a day, sent Luo Wenxi home at night, and drove the girl to take a bath, so he took the opportunity to talk to Luo's mother about it.

After hearing this, Luo's mother frowned and said, "You want to tell her?" Don't want it, she doesn't remember it herself, why did she say it? Does she hate me as a mother? ”

Tang Mingyao persuaded: "Auntie, you have to understand one thing, we don't tell her, in fact, she knows it herself." Why else would she drop out of school? ”

"These two things have nothing to do with each other."

Tang Mingyao: "It matters! ”

Then the two of them talked back and forth for a long time about whether these two things had anything to do with each other, Tang Mingyao spoke dryly, and laid out the facts with her one by one, and finally reluctantly persuaded her.

Luo's mother said: "Alas, how embarrassing it is to say this kind of thing, how can you tell me." ”

Tang Mingyao encouraged: "Auntie, you can rest assured." After you finished speaking, you apologized, and said that you did something wrong at the beginning, and you shouldn't have treated her like that, but there was no way back then, you have been regretting it all these years, anyway, your words must be sincere, and your attitude of admitting your mistakes must be good. ”

Luo's mother squirmed: "I'll think about it again." ”

Tang Mingyao couldn't force it too hard, and said, "Then Auntie, think about it again, I'll go back first." ”

Seeing Luo Wenxi the next day, Tang Mingyao stared at her face and looked carefully several times.

The eyes were not red, and Luo's mother didn't say anything.

He sighed in his heart, knowing that this matter was not in a hurry, and it was impossible for him to replace Luo's mother, if the truth of the matter was told from him and let Luo Wenxi know, I was afraid that this girl would never forgive her mother for the rest of her life.

It can only be said by Luo Ma herself.

After two more days, there was still no progress.

On this day, Tang Mingyao decided to give an assist, and after sending his girlfriend home, he chatted with Luo's mother in the living room for a while, and when the girl came out, he gave Luo's mother a look: "Auntie, don't you have something to tell your daughter?" ”

Luo Wenxi was curious: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo's mother stumbled: "This, that ......"

Tang Mingyao saw the opportunity to retreat: "You talk, I'll go first." ”

After going out, I stood by the flower bed downstairs in their house, looked at the lights upstairs, and thought to myself, I shouldn't be able to hide this time. I just don't know what tomorrow will be like after they finish talking.
