In the yard.

Seeing that the seven classmates were eager to see the plot behind, Zhang Sanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

This is enough to show that the "Journey to the West" in the previous life can still shine in this world.

Sun Wukong's legendary experience of ups and downs can also be attractive.

This is evidenced by the prompts that keep popping up in the background of the system.

"You say, 'How is my story?' If it is printed and sold, will there be a market? ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Sanfeng looked at the seven classmates sincerely and asked for advice.

Just looking at the acceptance of seven classmates is not enough to prove the market, and we have to expand the readership to be sure.

But if you want to publish, you have to find a bookstore.

With no qualifications for his achievements, I'm afraid I will have to pay for it to be published.

"Publishing, if the follow-up chapters you write can maintain the level of the previous three chapters, I'm sure there will be a market!"

Hearing this, the other classmates were silent, and a classmate named Zhuge Qingshan spoke.

"Yes, Aoyama has a bookstore at home, and he is sure of publishing."

Li Daniu suddenly reminded Zhang Sanfeng not to miss this opportunity.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, the Aoyama family's bookstore business is all over the Thirty-six Acropolis of Shendu."

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes lit up and said: "The "Journey to the West" I conceived is about 800,000 words, and the overall plot has been conceived, and the future will definitely maintain the same level as the first three times. ”

"In that case, then I can arrange the publication for you. But. Although we have been classmates for thirteen years, I have to talk about the ugly things ahead. ”

Zhuge Qingshan saw that Zhang Sanfeng's face was sincere, and he usually believed in his word, not like the kind of person who cheated and cheated, so he made a decision in his heart.

"Qingshan, if you have something to say, please speak."

Zhang Sanfeng bowed slightly.

"In business, Junbao, you are just a newcomer who has just debuted, and the royalty can only go at 5% of the newcomer."

Zhuge Qingshan thought for a while and said, "However, after all, we have been classmates for many years, so I will make my own decision and help you set a 6% royalty!" What do you think? ”

Royalties, also known as royalties, are monetary benefits received by the creator or copyright holder of an intellectual property right from others who use their intellectual property.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of the Confucian suppression of ten thousand ways, there are often works of Confucianism published, and the publishing industry is also very advanced, no less than Zhang Sanfeng's previous life.

Generally speaking, fledgling Confucian scholars usually receive a 5% royalty when their works are published.

In other words, if the first printing of 10,000 copies, the pre-sale price of each copy is 100 wen, and the author can get 5% of it, that is, the remuneration income of 50,000 wen.

The more copies printed, the more the author can get paid, even if the second and third editions are printed later, the author will still have an income.

And the famous Confucian students, the royalties they get are different, generally about 6%-10%.

Of course, if you are a great Confucian or a Confucian sage, the royalties you get will be higher.

It is said that a few years ago, the royalty of the book "New Notes on the University" written by Li Shaochun and Li Xiang, the prime minister of the dynasty, was as high as 28%, and the first printing of 5 million copies sold out in a month, and later sold 60 million copies.

This is the Great Zhou Dynasty to protect the interests of Confucian students set by the regulations, written into the "Great Zhou Law", dare to violate, the light punishment to bankruptcy, the heavy to raze the three clans.

Zhang Sanfeng received the memories of this body, so he naturally knew these regulations.

With this regulation, it is enough to protect the interests of authors, but on the other hand, it is more difficult for ordinary students to want to publish.

In terms of bookstores, the quality requirements for manuscripts have also been improved accordingly, and not all cats and dogs can publish them.

"Thank you, Aoyama."

After thinking about it, Zhang Sanfeng rejected Zhuge Qingshan's kindness and said, "However, I'll take 5%, so as not to embarrass you." ”

Although his family background is mediocre at the moment, he doesn't value money very much, what he lacks is fame, and he is real.

If he wants to successfully publish and promote "Journey to the West" and let more people see it, he is willing to take even a penny.

As long as he has enough real points, he can manifest the treasures and characters in the world of "Journey to the West", and even manifest the whole world.

What profit does worldly money do to him?

"It's okay, as the third young master of the Zhuge family, I still have this little right."

Zhuge Qingshan waved his hand, and said with a lot of wealth: "Junbao, don't shirk, I am also selfish." ”

"I'm very optimistic about your development in the same area, this is also an early investment, if you become everyone in the future, don't forget me as an investor."

Zhang Junbao has been his classmate for thirteen years, and he knows nothing better.

The family is mediocre, the study is mediocre, if there is no accident, I am afraid that there is no great success in this life.

But when he changed his career to writing, he burst out with a powerful talent, and wrote such a classic book as "Journey to the West" in his first book.

It is enough to show that Zhang Junbao was not talented before, but did not open his talent and did not find the right industry.

As a classmate, Zhutian Qingshan values Zhang Junbao and his person, and can make a fortune for his own bookstore, why not?

"Yes, Junbao, Qingshan is well-intentioned, don't shirk."

Li Daniu didn't speak until Zhang Sanfeng was silent, and then persuaded him.

Zhuge Qingshan's family is rich, how can they care about the royalties of this mere point.

And Zhang Sanfeng's family background is average, why should he refuse the money in hand?

"Yes, Junbao, your level is worth this price, I can wait to see the plot later."

"Yes, Junbao, don't shirk it, hurry up and go to write the manuscript, I'll wait and see."

Others also persuaded him.

"Well, since that's the case, then I won't refuse."

Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng said to Zhuge Qingshan: "Qingshan, don't worry, if there is no accident, the manuscripts I wrote will be handed over to your family bookstore for publication in the future." ”

Reciprocated the favor, Zhuge Qingshan's kindness, he could no longer refuse.

Everything else I will write in the future will be handed over to Zhuge Qingshan's family for publication.

Of course, if the cooperation behind it is dirty, then I can only be sorry.

"Okay, that's it, give me these manuscripts, and I'll take them home for the bookstore shopkeeper to see."

Zhuge Qingshan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Let's make another appointment, and the two sides will sign a cooperation contract." ”

"Okay, you can take it."

Zhang Sanfeng is not afraid that the other party is greedy for his own manuscript, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not vegetarian.

"Don't worry, wait for my good news."

With a manuscript of more than 20,000 words, Zhuge Qingshan left the academy.

"Okay, the publication is done, Junbao, do you have to start writing the rest of the manuscript?"

After he left, Li Daniu rubbed his hands, looked at Zhang Sanfeng with bright eyes, and urged.

"That's right, Junbao, go write the rest of the manuscript."

"I can't wait to see the Monkey King ascend to heaven as an immortal official."

"Junbao, go write it quickly, and leave the rest of the miscellaneous things to me."

Other students urged one after another, urging the manuscript in person.

"Okay, then I'll go back and write it now."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded.

Back in the study, after studying the ink of an inkstone, he picked up the pen and wrote the content of the third chapter of "Journey to the West".

In the first three episodes, it talks about 'The Birth of the Spirit Monkey', 'Apprenticeship' and 'Breaking into the Underworld', which unfolds the worldview and the origin and development of the protagonist for readers.

At the end of the third chapter, it was written that the Jade Emperor of Heaven ordered the Tai Platinum Star to go to the lower realm and recruit the protagonist Sun Wukong to go to the sky as an official.

[The fourth time, the official seal is full of horses, and the name is full of heaven's will]

Zhang Sanfeng wrote down the title of the fourth chapter, and then wrote the following plot, which is about the protagonist Sun Wukong who was fooled into the sky by the Tai Bai Xing, and was named the little Bi Ma Wen by the Jade Emperor, who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor of the heavenly court and raised horses for the Jade Emperor.

At first, I didn't know if this priesthood was powerful, but when Wukong learned that this priesthood was just the end of the gods, he was angry and rebelled against the world, and returned to Huaguo Mountain to proclaim himself the Monkey King.

When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he ordered King Tuota Li and his son Prince Nezha to capture Wukong, but they were defeated by Wukong.

Tai Bai Xing was once again ordered to recruit Wukong, and the Jade Emperor ordered the immortal workers to build the Monkey King Mansion for Wukong to live in.

In the fifth time, the Jade Emperor ordered Wukong to take charge of the peach orchard, and he stole the peach in the garden to eat.

Later, Wukong learned about the peach festival from the barefoot immortal, and learned that the Jade Emperor did not invite him to participate in the meeting, so he ran to Yaochi in anger and drank all the immortal wine; ate all the golden pills in Taishang Laojun's gourd, and finally fled back to Huaguo Mountain.

The Jade Emperor ordered King Tota to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to capture Wukong, but Wukong was repulsed.

In the sixth episode, Mu Cha, the apprentice of Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva, was the son of King Tota Li, and when he learned that his father was defeated, he naturally helped and was also defeated by Wukong.

Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva recommended the judicial god Erlang God of the Heavenly Court, and after receiving the order, Erlang God fought with Wukong, and all three hundred times were tied.

The Taishang Laojun watched the battle from the sidelines, and took the opportunity to drop the King Kong set to defeat Wukong, the gods bet on his upper realm, and the Jade Emperor sent a decree to execute Wukong.

Chapter 7.

Zhang Sanfeng wrote "Journey to the West" word by word, and he could write more than 3,500 words in an hour.

Don't think it's slow, if it weren't for the fact that he was used to writing with a brush in his previous life, but without this speed, others would be able to write a thousand words an hour.

From nine o'clock in the morning until sunset, about 30,000 words were written, and in the seventh chapter, Wukong was escorted to heaven and executed by the Jade Emperor.

But because of its high mana, the knife could not be cut in, and the fire could not be burned, so the Jade Emperor had no choice but to throw it into the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun.

Seven and forty-nine days later, Wukong not only did not burn to death, but instead refined a pair of fiery eyes, which can see through the vanity at a glance.

The Jade Emperor couldn't, so he had to invite the Buddha from the West Heaven to design and take Wukong and suppress it under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.

"Whew"

After dark, Zhang Sanfeng stopped writing.

Not only is the body too weak to bear, but also because Zhuge Qingshan brought good news.

"Junbao, I have convinced the bookstore manager, and he promised me the 6% royalty."

As soon as Zhuge Qingshan came back, he found Zhang Sanfeng and said to him: "Of course, your manuscript is well written, which is also the key to convincing him." ”

"Haha, that's great."

Li Daniu on the side listened to it, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Qingshan, look at the plot behind, it is as exciting as ever." ”

He, an outsider, is even happier than Zhang Sanfeng himself.

"Thank you, Aoyama-san."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, with a hint of joy on his face.

"It's so cool, Wukong is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and those heavenly soldiers and generals are not his opponents."

"This is the Monkey King in my mind, by the way, he calls himself Monkey King, this title is very stylish."

"After reading the draft of the seventh chapter, I already have the image of Goku in my mind, unruly and unruly, and does not bow to anyone!"

"Yes, what about the gods of the Heavenly Court, and what about the Jade Emperor who is in charge of the Three Realms!"

These students can be called the first readers of "Journey to the West", and every time Zhang Sanfeng finishes writing a page, they can't wait to watch it together.

They are implicated in the fate of the protagonist Sun Wukong, and become happy and sad with the ups and downs of the plot.

"Okay, good, Junbao, you wrote so well."

After a while, Zhuge Qingshan finished reading the follow-up draft and was overjoyed.

"It's over, it's over."

Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand, quite a feeling of not being happy for things and not being sad for himself.

"What's that, Junbao has been writing for a day during the day, he must be very tired, you should rest early!"

Li Daniu saw the tiredness between his eyebrows, and said to him, "Let's not disturb Junbao." ”

"Yes, yes, only when you have a good rest can you write a better plot."

"Yes, don't be too tired, we're still waiting to see the next plot."

The other students agreed, got up and left Zhang Sanfeng's study.

Early the next morning, Zhang Sanfeng followed Zhuge Qingshan to his bookstore and signed a formal contract.

After reading the contents of the next four manuscripts, the shopkeeper of the bookstore made a decision on the spot, and collected all the 46,000 words of the first seven chapters in the first printing, printed them as soon as possible, bound them into a book, and put them on sale.

After negotiations, the two sides decided to print 10,000 copies for the first time, and each copy was priced at 98 yuan.

If the market feedback is good, the second and third editions will be printed

At the same time, the bookstore also asked Zhang Sanfeng to deliver the manuscript as soon as possible, and the two parties agreed to submit the manuscript once a month, with a minimum of 50,000 words each time.

After the negotiation was completed, Zhang Sanfeng left the bookstore with the 58,800 yuan prepaid for the first edition, which was converted into 58 taels of silver.

After buying some necessities such as pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, he returned to the academy and began his career of writing (copying).

I get up at 8 a.m. every day and write until 6 p.m., and I can write about 30,000 words a day.

In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping as necessary, he devoted all his energy to writing (copying) books.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

On this day, Zhang Sanfeng was writing (copying) the seventy-fifth episode, and the plot had been written to Lion Camel Ridge, and the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties had also reached the 61st, 62nd, 63rd, and 64th difficulties.

It is the sixty-first difficulty to resist the lion and camel on the road, the sixty-second difficulty to divide the three colors, the sixty-third difficulty to encounter disasters in the city, and the sixty-fourth difficulty to invite the Buddha to collect demons.

[Hint: "Journey to the West" real point +1]

[Hint: "Journey to the West" real point +1]

[Hint: "Journey to the West" real point +1]

Suddenly, a dense system prompt appeared, interrupting Zhang Sanfeng's train of thought.

In just a few moments, the real point has increased by hundreds of points.

(End of chapter)
