"Hello, old koji!" I wondered, "What are you looking for from me?" ”

"Have you sold "Second Wife Over Flowers"?" The old koji asked straight to the point.

"Not yet!" I say.

"I read it carefully," said Koji seriously, "it's not bad, I want to publish it!" You said you could sell it out last time, right? ”

"Of course," I smiled, "60,000, including the authorship, all sold out!" ”

"Can you guarantee that the copyright is from a legitimate source?" Lao Koji asked.

"Of course you can," I said seriously, "I wrote it the year before!" ”

"Then when are you going to come and sign a deal with me!" Lao Koji said, "I can give you a one-time manuscript fee!" ”

"How's this afternoon?" I thought about it and asked, "I just finished shopping at the book market, and I'm eating shabu shabu in Donglaishun!" ”

"Okay!" Lao Koji smiled, "You come to see me at Xishan Villa in the afternoon!" Call me when it's time and I'll pick you up at the door! ”

"Okay!" I smiled.

I put my phone down.

Ye Qian looked at me thoughtfully.

"How can that manuscript be published?" I said to Ye Qian in disbelief.

"That novel is supposed to be pretty good!" Ye Qian said with a serious face, "A down-and-out young writer met a young second wife who lived in a villa, and the two fell in love at first sight. In order to save the soul of the second grandmother, the writer tried every possible way, but finally found out that the so-called second wife of the trick was originally a rich daughter, and the two finally tied the knot, the process was ridiculous, but the ending was unexpected. The authenticity of the work is very high, the tendencies are very good, the emotions are very strong, and the three are integrated into a picturesque artistic conception, which is a very good work! ”

"Then sell it to you!" I said to Ye Qian with a blank face.

"It's good," Ye Qian smiled, "but I don't want to, because we only publish books from famous artists!" If you are a famous artist, this book will definitely sell well if it is packaged a little! ”

"That's a good man," I thought about, "and I wouldn't let him read the whole of my novel, but at most give them a simple sample, and I'm afraid they'll use it as material." Lao Koji has published many best-selling books, all of which are regular publications, so I was relieved to give him the manuscript! ”

"Sell it to him, he will definitely be able to sell it," Ye Qian said seriously, "When that man started making books, we probably still wore open crotch pants!" ”

"I gave him two novels," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "and he fell in love with this one." ”

"Two?" Ye Qian thought about it and asked, "Is the other book "Dreams in Dreams"? ”

"No," I said, pretendingly, "I've already renamed it, and it's called Bed Down!" ”

"This title fits the theme of that book very well," Ye Qian said with a smile, "You can't publish that book in anyone's hands, I bet with you!" ”

"Why?" I asked knowingly.

"Just three words," Ye Qian smiled slightly, "fake, evil, ugly!" ”

"Actually, I don't like these two books," I said seriously, "If I really like it, I definitely won't sell out the copyright of that "Boys Over Flowers" for 60,000 yuan, at least I have to retain the right of authorship!" ”

"This book can't be published in your hands," Ye Qian said sharply, "ordinary publishing houses don't dare to publish it!" After the old koji is bought back, you must process it yourself, you sell it for 60,000 yuan, he buys 60,000 yuan is also worth it, you two are a win-win situation, let's start eating shabu shabu! ”

"Why do you say I'm not interested in 60,000 yuan now?" I pretended to ask Ye Qian, "Have I reached the realm of treating money like dung?" ”

"I'm eating," Ye Qian said proudly, "Don't mention that soil again!" ”

I laughed.

Ye Qianxing looked at me with slight disgust.

After eating.

Ye Qian and I drove to the Xishan Villa Pavilion.

Located at the foot of the West Mountain, Xishan Villa is the closest urban landscape villa to Beijing to the city, with Xiangshan and Yuquan Mountain standing around like stars and moons, and Kunming Lake and Yuquan Mountain Spring are infiltrated by the day.

"The only West Mountain," I smiled, "the only high life!" ”

"The residence of the rich," Ye Qian smiled slightly, "Collect the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and store the pride of heaven and earth!" ”

At this moment, the old koji appeared.

He smiled and took us to his accommodation.

"The manuscript of "Second Wife Over Flowers" is easy to say," Lao Koji said seriously, "just do what we said on the phone!" 60,000, all bought out! ”

"Yes," I said with a smile, "and you see if the book "In Bed Under the Bed" can be saved?" ”

"I noticed that manuscript on the Internet in 2000," Lao Koji smiled, "At that time, there were not many novels on the Internet!" Later, I found out that you had already signed a contract with Correction Culture, so I didn't pay any attention to it. The fact that the manuscript was able to sign a publishing contract with Revision Culture shows that it has a selling point, but it didn't come out in the end, which shows that it has a hard ......"

"I know what it hurts," I said in all seriousness, "but the emotional tendencies are not very good!" ”

"This is one of the reasons," said Lao Koji seriously, "and the other hard flaw is that the hero has no dreams and is always wandering in the sentimentality of not being able to find a way out!" ”

"Yes!" I laughed.

"Actually, it's a very good novel," said Koji with a smile, "and you look at the introduction: about love, about sex, about dreams and reality." "In Bed, Under the Bed" is one such alternative fringe novel. In the love story of me and a female college student, it tells the broken love story between me and Fei Fei, a woman in the dust, as well as the emotional entanglements of women with different cultural levels and life experiences such as He Lin, 'Magnolia', Li, Hui, etc., and discloses the depressed souls of some alternative young people who are displaced from the edge of the city and their painful spiritual trajectories. While revealing the sentimentality and hesitation of marginalized young people who cannot find a way out, the novel also focuses on revealing the social factors that promote the development and change of the characters' fate, and reflects the trauma and distortion of a person's soul by an unsound family environment and a bad social environment from one side......"

"Just a dream and a perfect ending!" I thought about it and said, "I once thought about modifying it, that is, this male protagonist was originally a prodigal son without any dreams, after meeting this female college student named Mengchu, Mengchu tried every means to let him find his dream, and finally realized, the ending is that they left Xi'an together to come to Beijing, and finally became a family!" ”

"If you revise it like that," said the old koji happily, "I'll have that book too!" I can give you 20,000 yuan in advance, modify until I am satisfied and then give you the remaining 40,000, how about it? ”

"Yes!" I laughed.

"I just value your writing," Lao Koji said seriously, "your emotions are real and marginal, and your writing is alternative and incredible, and it is difficult for ordinary authors to control such words!" ”

"Thank you for your appreciation!" I said with a smile.

"Then it's decided," Lao Koji said happily, "I'll give you 80,000 yuan today, and we'll sign the "Book Publishing Agency Contract"!" ”

I smiled and nodded.

Lao Koji got up, took the printed publishing contract and handed it to me.

I smiled and took it and gave it to Ye Qian.

Ye Qian began to read carefully and carefully.

The old koji smiled silently.

"There's no problem," Ye Qian said to me softly after looking at it for a long time, "Take a look!" ”

I took the contract and looked at it carefully.

"You can sign it!" I said to the old koji with a smile.

The old koji smiled slightly.

After we signed the contract, Lao Koji got up and took out 80,000 yuan from the safe in the bedroom and put it on the table.

Ye Qian was unceremonious, picked it up one by one and put it in his satchel.

I got up and smiled and shook hands with the old koji goodbye.

Ye Qian smiled.

My heart was beaming.
