Hu Yifei startled everyone by slapping the table, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, which was really a bit of a housekeeper at this time. Feeling that everyone's gaze seemed a little weird, she raised her head and said, "What do you see, Zhang Yao is raised by me, and I am in charge of the money, what's wrong with making decisions for him?" ”

People who are familiar with Hu Yifei, seeing this expression and tone, know that she is weak-hearted, of course, if you go to the various reasons, she will definitely die a miserable death, Lu Ziqiao said: "No matter who you are in charge of the money and who is in charge of the accounts, I just want to know where to eat?" ”

"Eat, eat, you know what to eat, what to eat at night?" Hu Yifei hugged his hands and said, "Ziqiao, you have already eaten two slices of slap fried meat, and you are not full yet?" ”

Lu Ziqiao glanced at Chen Meijia, the latter snorted and twisted his head to the side, and he said: "I want to turn my grief into food, what's wrong with the big night, we can go to have supper, and it's okay to eat the same tomorrow, it's the weekend anyway." ”

"Doesn't the weekend have anything to do with you? Young Master Lu. Hu Yifei disdainned, and then said: "Since everyone is so happy for Zhang Yao, I can't let you down." That's good, I'll pay for tonight's drinks, and tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Nanguo, don't wait. ”

"Long live Sister Yifei, there is a big meal to eat." Lin Wanyu and Chen Meijia clapped their hands in celebration, Zhang Yao wanted to remind them that they should thank him, and they didn't mind if they wanted to make a promise......

It wasn't early, they didn't stay in the bar for long before they went home, Hu Yifei deliberately left behind and said to Zhang Yao: "You won't blame me, right?" ”

Zhang Yao said: "It is said that Li Ka-shing said that if your salary is 2,000 yuan per month, then you should also set aside 300 yuan to invite friends to dinner, of which 100 yuan is used as telephone bills, and the remaining 200 yuan is used for two meals." This shows that it is very important to connect with friends, and even though they are noisy, I know that they are really happy for me. ”

"How expensive is the phone bill in Hong Kong?"

"That's not the point, the point is that there is a lot of truth in this statement."

Hu Yifei stopped and stared at Zhang Yao and said, "Don't pretend to be confused, you know I don't mean that." ”

Few men will like women to make decisions for themselves, whether it is a strict wife or a little white face, it is despicable, not to mention that Hu Yifei and Zhang Yao have nothing to do with each other now, from this point of view, Hu Yifei is really too lenient, Hu Yifei means whether Zhang Yao will think she is too much.

Zhang Yao is actually a bit machismo, but this is not in his own world, and he always feels a little unreal, as if he is playing a game, so as long as he is happy, everything else is not important, so he said: "It doesn't matter what it means, because I know that you are also for my good." I'm not stupid, can't I see that you want to help me celebrate? ”

"It's a lot better than my stupid brother." Hu Yifei nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Yao also agreed, he may not be as experienced as Lu Ziqiao for girls, but at least he will not ask girls to watch science and education films, and he will not send girls Transformers.

In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is a supreme honor to be able to publish books, even if there is a craze for publishing books in these years, whether people are catching up with this trend or not. In a few years, online novels will be more prevalent than they are now, but it will also be an honor to be published, and only a small fraction of them will be able to do so.

Publishing a book is not only an honor, but also can bring fame and fortune, of course, it is worth celebrating, Hu Yifei actually wants to take everyone to celebrate Zhang Yao together, and it is the grand one. Zhang Yao's heart was warm, but he said: "Sister Yifei, in fact, what I want to say is that I just signed a contract with the publishing house, and I haven't received the manuscript fee yet." ”

The consumption in the bar is not much, and the consumption of Xiaonanguo promised by Hu Yifei is much higher, this is a well-known restaurant group, which belongs to the middle and high-end consumption, and it is gone if you eat a few hundred yuan casually, and the eight of them can't estimate it for a few thousand yuan, and it is not surprising to eat tens of thousands of yuan openly.

"Your song sold for 30,000 yuan, and the check is still with me, and besides, don't I have it if you don't have it?" Hu Yifei said and quickened his pace, this topic can no longer be discussed.

Zhang Yao is also happy to listen to the arrangement, which is worry-free, isn't it? So in the end, he didn't ask much about the consumption in Xiaonanguo, and continued to let Hu Yifei arrange to be responsible for his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, he enjoyed this life very much.

The publisher's actions were not slow, and soon after the contract was signed, the royalties for the first printing of 100,000 copies were handed over to Zhang Yao. The paperback edition was priced at $25 per volume, and his royalty was 8%. Domestic writers now generally earn between 6% and 10% of their royalties, and almost all of them who can get 10% are well-known writers, and only a very few people can exceed this figure.

Zhang Yao is also a complete newcomer in the publishing industry, if he goes to talk to the publishing house himself, it will be six points, because Lisa Rong helped, he came forward to discuss in the name of the radio station and only got eight points, which is definitely high for a newcomer.

"A total of 100,000 copies were printed, 25 yuan per copy is 2.5 million, 8 percent is 200,000, and then 11.2 yuan of tax must be paid, a total of more than 20,000 yuan. That's right, the data is correct. The check in Zhang Yao's hand was not yet hot, so it was handed over by Hu Yifei, and then he counted it according to the calculator.

"It's a regular publishing house, and it's written clearly in black and white, so it's impossible to deceive people on it, right?" Zeng Xiaoxian really can't get used to seeing Hu Yifei like this, as if the whole world is a liar.

And Zhang Yao said: "Publishing a book sounds like a bull, but in fact, it doesn't make much money." After tax, it is only more than 180,000 yuan, and if you take it to buy a house, a bathroom is not enough. ”

As the largest city in China, the housing price is also a first-class level, and the love apartment is not the most expensive, and the housing price is more than 20,000 square meters. The apartment they live in can't afford millions of dollars each, and if you calculate with the income of every book, you have to write dozens of books if you want to buy a house, and the books are so easy to write.

"I don't have the idea to buy a house, can't I rent a house and live in it?" Hu Yifei said with a serious lesson: "It is because there are more people like you that real estate developers dare to sell houses so expensive, the more eager you want to buy a house, the happier they are, why should these black-hearted manufacturers be cheaper?" ”

"I didn't want to buy a house, but I suddenly felt that writers weren't so easy to mix."

Zeng Xiaoxian continued: "You are right about this, most writers are actually not as good as office workers, and only a few can be on the Forbes list after all." And those writers on the list, more than tens of millions, and as few as a few million, your 200,000 is not low at all, okay, maybe it will be printed in the future? ”

Whether it will be printed or not depends on how well it sells. The popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has not decreased at all, but has a tendency to become hotter and hotter, and after the publication of the novel, this craze has been pushed to a new high, and all walks of life are actually optimistic about the best-selling novel.

In general, the first printing of a novel is actually very good, and most of them are at most investing thousands of copies to test the market reaction. The impact of the digital age on traditional industries is not only in the field of music, but also in novels, and more and more people use their mobile phones to read books, and not many will buy physical books.

Otherwise, with such a huge market as the Celestial Empire, people who engage in creation will definitely have a very prosperous life. The famous online writer Nanpai Sanshu once said that if there is no piracy, many writers can buy private jets.

However, it is useless to dwell on these problems, and it is king to make the money that can be earned. The first printing of 100,000 copies by the publishing house was very bold and risky, but "Ghost Blows the Lantern" did not disappoint them, and the 100,000 copies were sold out in a short period of time, and booksellers from all over the country also increased their orders, so the second printing directly doubled, and 200,000 copies were put on the market again.

With the publication of the novel, the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" became more widely known, setting off a "tomb robbery" craze across the country. In addition to the various discussions about tomb robbery, it has also indirectly aroused people's interest in antique metaphysics and so on, and the antique markets in Panjiayuan in Beijing and the City God Temple in Shanghai have become more lively than ever, and the media are competing to report this grand occasion.

Why is "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" so popular, and what is the matter with tomb robbing? Media reporters interviewed experts for analysis, and interviewed passers-by whether they had read this novel, why they liked this novel, etc., and the craze set off was already phenomenal, which made everyone look sideways.

"Tomb robbery novels have actually existed since ancient times, and they are one of the preserved varieties of classical Chinese literature. Tomb robbers are all in the well-known ancient works of Sou Shen Ji, Taiping Guang Ji, and Liao Zhai Zhiyi, and the phenomenon of ghosts blowing out lamps is actually real, and if this happens, tomb robbers should escape immediately. Because the tombs are sealed, especially the ancient tombs of hundreds of thousands of years, in the deep underground of more than ten tens of meters, if the lights are not lit or quickly extinguished, it means that there is a serious lack of oxygen inside...... "This is the analysis and interpretation of experts.

"Because it is a combination of horror and thrill, giving people a 100% heartbeat feeling, and after watching it, there will be an indescribable sense of relaxation, so it is very exciting and enjoyable to watch." This is the answer given by the reader, simple and clear, most of the questions do not go back to think too much, and it is enough to feel that it is good to look at and enjoy.

In the domestic publishing industry, sales of more than 100,000 are already considered bestsellers, and there are very few books in the entire publishing industry that can exceed one million sales in a year. "Ghost Blows the Lantern" ignited a craze because of the radio program, and the first printing reached this standard, and many people believe that it is bound to exceed one million copies.
