Chapter 43: The New Book Looks Like a Script
Half past seven in the evening.
Wu Fan logged in to the backstage of the novel website.
Since the new book is not opened, there is no place for readers to comment, so he first created the title of the book and opened the book review area.
A moment of effort.
The book review area was attacked by reviews.
"I'm looking forward to a new book."
"Is there a plus more event? I've got my bills ready for the night's work. β
"Everyone line up with me, although we don't have any money, we can contribute data to make King's Landing old dog more new books overnight."
β¦β¦
Looking at many comments, Wu Fan was a little big-headed, and he never thought that his previous actions would have such an effect, and if he accidentally handled it, he would overturn.
In order to put an end to the phenomenon of overturning, he had to speak in the book review area to put an end to all possible consequences.
King's Landing: Thank you for the popularity of many readers, I just recently got a job, and I only have time to code words at night, so I am weak to add more activities, and this new book is not long, it can be completed in about half a month, and it will not be charged on the shelves, so everyone can chase the book with peace of mind.
As soon as this review was put at the top, readers were in an uproar.
"Wow~ King's Landing Old Dog is atmospheric, 666 go a wave."
"It's a short historical novel, doesn't King's Landing Old Dog have no story to write?"
"Isn't it nice to make money writing novels? Why do you need to look for a job?"
"King's Landing Old Dog seems to have no motivation to write, and everyone here is responsible."
β¦β¦

Wu Fan simply read a few comments and received a voice request from Durala.
When plugged in.
"King's Landing, aren't your new books going to hit the shelves?" Durala asked directly.
If there is no plan to put a new book on the shelves, the website will not give a share of the signing contract, but can only buy out, and the price given by the buyout will not be too high.
She didn't know how Wu Fan planned it, and wanted to know Wu Fan's mind for the first time.
"Yes, the total number of words is not much, it is not as good as the free one." Wu Fan admitted.
"The new book can only be bought out, don't you think it's a loss?" Durala asked again.
Wu Fan said truthfully, "I only plan to authorize this book, and I don't want to sign a contract." β
Authorized only?
Durala suspected she had misheard.
Once the contract is signed, the ownership of the novel belongs to the website for a certain period of time, and the website and the author share some of the income from the copyright according to the proportion of the contract.
Authorization means that the author publishes the novel on the website, and there is no other income except for a simple tipping income, except for special circumstances.
Compared to nine out of nine authors, signing a contract can maximize the benefits, and King's Landing's move really surprised Durala.
"King's Landing, if you only authorize, this website will not provide recommendations and publicity, although you have a certain popularity, but the data is not necessarily good-looking, even if the data is good-looking, there is not much money to take, why bother?" Durala was puzzled.
Although the new book can be published on all fiction websites if only the right to license is exercised, the final income is still pitiful, and it is far less than the signing of the contract.
"I've already decided, so be it." Wu Fan didn't want to explain too much.
"Okay."
Knowing that she couldn't convince King's Landing, Durala hung up her voice.
Subsequently.
Du Lala walked directly into the office and announced, "Editor Liu, King's Landing's new book is only authorized and not signed. β
Editor Liu had already paid attention to King's Landing, so he naturally saw the top book review.
To be honest, he hasn't had much interest since he learned that this is a short story, because the short story has been eliminated, and his status is still under the declining martial arts.
To put it bluntly, there is no market for short stories, the audience is pitifully small, and it is a luxury to make a profit.
In today's environment where novels are prevalent, even those top god authors dare not write short stories, for fear of losing their popularity and profits, let alone a rookie author.
So.
Writing short stories in King's Landing is the rhythm of death, and no website is willing to risk losing money to sign the book, unless there is too much money to spend.
Although the new work is free of charge, it is a smart move.,Gave him a wave of praise.,But the praise can't be eaten.,Which author is so idle.,Writing a book is just a joke?
Hearing that King's Landing only authorized and did not sign, Liu Zhibian breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very glad that King's Landing had no intention of signing a contract, otherwise the two parties would probably be a little unhappy, after all, the company did not want to lose such a potential author.
Fortunately, that scene did not happen.
"It's up to him, a short story, there is not much income to be gained, even if King's Landing wants to sign a contract, the company will not agree." Liu Zhibian sighed.
β¦β¦
A dwelling.
Lan Sheng looked at King's Landing's pinned book review and was silent.
He thought that there would be a life-and-death contest between the two of them's new work, but he didn't think that the other party had any plans to put it on the shelves at all, and consciously gave up many rewards on the site.
And the other party is very iron-headed, and he dares to touch the field of short stories that many authors dare not touch, and he doesn't know how to write the word "death", but he secretly made a move.
"I never expected you to play like this this time, I hope you won't kill yourself, he~" Lan Sheng sneered.
β¦β¦
8 p.m.
Wu Fan released the first part of the new book on time, and then he quietly watched the book review area, wanting to know what readers thought of the book for the first time.
Soon, the first book review appeared.
"Is there such a character as Qin Shubao in history? Come out and reply to the study of history. β
Following the first review, there was a rapid increase in book reviews.
"Is the protagonist Qin Shubao? I think it's very powerful. β
"Alternate history text! Just take a look, don't take it seriously! β
"The characters are portrayed well, and the pen power of King's Landing Old Dog has been strengthened again."
"I practice martial arts, I said that the martial arts in the text are very close to reality, is King's Landing also a martial arts student? Why is it so realistic? β
"From the first time, the content of the story is lacking, and there is nothing new to say."
β¦β¦
Overall, book reviews tend to be positive.
Wu Fan was satisfied, and then released a second one, followed by a new book review.
"There are too many scenes of martial arts in the article, and it looks a little boring."
"There are a lot of dialogues and martial arts, but every character is portrayed as flesh and blood."
"After watching it twice in a row, I don't think King's Landing's old dog's new work is well written."
"At first glance, I didn't feel anything, but when I watched it again, I realized the word "chivalry", which is a metaphor in every character that appears."
β¦β¦
After the second release, negative reviews began to appear and increased rapidly.
But...... Someone discovered the essence of this book "Chivalry" so quickly, which was really a bit unexpected by Wu Fan.
Moreover, following the review of "Chivalry", more and more book reviews have mentioned "Chivalry", which shows that the excellent quality of "Chivalry" is deeply rooted in the blood of every Chinese person.
Since this book has decided to be free, Wu Fan plans to publish as many as he wants.
In just a few minutes, he posted twenty times.
So far.
The manuscript is sold out!
Half an hour later, the book review area exploded!
"I'm on my knees! Martial arts are very exciting! Guns, sticks, swords, ...... The whole nine yards! An alternative martial arts book worth admiring! β
"Every character who appears is portrayed as flesh and blood, as if they are right in front of them."
"I feel that this article is a bit strange, and the protagonist doesn't seem to be Qin Shubao alone."
"You are readers in vain, but you don't realize that this article is not a simple historical novel."
"Justified upstairs! I think this novel is very critical and educational, and it is a positive energy novel. β
"Misunderstanding upstairs! This is not historical fiction, it is a screenplay to be exact! β
β¦β¦
As soon as the word "script" came out, readers were in an uproar.
They immediately read it again from the beginning and were surprised to find that this article was too much like a script, even if it was not a regular script, it was much easier to adapt film and television dramas.
"Worship the birth of the masterpiece of the script, and wait for the day of adaptation."
"King's Landing, the screenwriter is here, and the idle people are scattered."
"Adapt and destroy the novel, don't adapt it, leave a white moonlight in my heart."
"Such an excellent novel and screenplay is rare in the world!"
β¦β¦
Seeing that many comments mentioned the word "script", Wu Fan was very happy, because his goal had been initially achieved.
Next...... Just wait for the film and television party to take the bait.
In view of the fact that there was no manuscript and it was not early, Wu Fan decided to go back to sleep, and there were important things to complete tomorrow.
β¦β¦
Aquamarine Literature.
Du Lala and Liu are still working overtime.
They also wanted to see how King's Landing's new work was written.
After chasing the latest review and browsing many book reviews, the two were not calm.
"Editor Liu, is this the script?" Durala asked.
She has been in the company for a short time and has not been exposed to the type of books on the script so far, so she is a little confused.
"It's not a script, it's better than a script, King's Landing!" Editor Liu couldn't hide his shock and said, "What kind of novel do you have the ability to write, isn't it fragrant to be a screenwriter?" Could it be that King's Landing's main business is screenwriting? β
Durala was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is it possible for this novel to be profitable?" Is it worth signing up? β
As an editor, Durala doesn't know the value of the script, she only cares if the book can be signed, and if she does, she is not only helping King's Landing, but also herself.
"I don't know!" Editor Liu shook his head and said, "This book has not been written yet, I don't know how the plot will go, and it is not clear whether it can be adapted." But judging from the readers' responses, the word of mouth is not bad. As for whether you can sign a contract, don't think about it, as long as it's a short story, the company won't sign it. β
Durala was a little reluctant and continued to ask, "I've heard that those well-known writers publish articles that will have a licensing fee, can King's Landing enjoy this treatment?" β
Editor Liu smiled bitterly, "Can't! You're talking about writers, not authors, and there's no comparison. β
Durala was a little disappointed, she had tried her best to help King's Landing, and there was nothing she could do.
Editor Liu knew that the relationship between Durala and King's Landing was not ordinary, and he couldn't bear to look at her sad appearance, so he thought for a while and said, "King's Landing just released the book tonight, whether it is a script or not, whether it can be adapted is uncertain, if there is a possibility of adaptation, the value of this novel will be immeasurable." At that time, the company will be happy to give him a license fee. β
"Really? That's great! Du Lala returned to her excited appearance, "Editor Liu, you know so much!" β
Liu Zhibian subconsciously touched his nose, smiled innocently, and explained, "Actually, I am not a few years older than you, and when my colleagues are not there, you can call me Brother Liu." β
