Chapter 38: Three Draws
Yi Shuihan's post about "The Chair in the World" is not the first and will not be the last.
Boom.
As time went on, more and more discussion posts about the novel sprung up.
Almost all users who open the academy on this day and enter the reasoning suspense section can see a lot of hot posts with the words "human chair" in the title at a glance!
In the afternoon of the same day.
Many bookstore staff have noticed that this month's latest issue of "Mystery and Suspense" seems to be more popular than the previous issues?
Of course, this may be a coincidence.
The first day of every month is the best time for these monthly magazines to sell.
But on the second day, when a large number of customers still came to buy "Mystery and Suspense", and the number of people was significantly higher than yesterday, the major bookstores finally realized:
This magazine from Nathan Book House, the quality seems to have exploded this month?
It's really a blast.
However, it was not the "Reasoning and Suspense" magazine itself that exploded.
Instead, it was deliberately placed in the first chapter of "The Human Chair" by Nathan's Book House!
Not to mention ordinary readers, even some writers who are as good at reasoning and suspense as Yi Shuihan have to pay attention to this work that has just been released and has aroused heated discussions in the circle.
"Just finished reading 'The Human Chair.'"
A writer in a certain group of writers with a pen name [Wolf Annihilation] sighed: "I feel perverted when I see a pervert!" ”
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
A group of writers in the group suddenly turned into repeaters and burst out laughing.
This scene is really funny, you must know that Wolf Slayer is one of Qin Zhou's best writers in the genre of horror and suspense, and the mystery novels he writes may not be clever, but most of his works are full of tragic, bloody and dark tones, often describing the bloody and decomposing scenes of corpses in detail, which has attracted many readers and even peers to call it "perverted".
It is also because of this style that Wolf Exterminates has a lot of die-hard fans.
Thanks to Qin Zhou's large scale, otherwise his novels would be difficult to publish.
However, even the pervert of wolf extermination lamented the perversion of "The Human Chair", which shows how much of the psychological impact this novel has on readers.
Yi Shuihan happened to be in this group.
Seeing the wolf annihilation, Aite immediately teased the other party: "This novel doesn't involve dark and bloody elements such as murder, why is it perverted?" ”
"He's a very special kind."
Wolf Annihilation replied: "My pervert is more straightforward, his metamorphosis is more tactful, deliberately causing strong psychological hints to readers, so that readers have all kinds of perverted imagination, this is a high-level perversion, typical psychological fear novels, just like some horror movies, obviously there are no ghosts, and the shots are very ordinary, but the style is demonic and weird, so that your heart is always in fear." ”
Writers in the group: "......"
Although Wolf Annihilation shouted perversion, someone soon said: "The most clever thing about this novel is the structure of multiple matryoshka dolls, the reader becomes Yoshiko, and he himself becomes the letter writer, thriller but not nonsense." ”
This has been recognized by everyone.
The reader reads the story, but the author likes to analyze the author's creative approach.
And the most commendable thing about the novel "The Human Chair" is that the creative technique is too clever.
"I feel like the wolf exterminator has met a strong enemy."
"The author is a rookie writer, which is the most terrifying, and few new writers can be so spiritual in their debut novels."
"Like some old bird's vest."
"I just went to the bookstore to buy "Reasoning and Suspense" and found that the sales were very hot, it seems that it is the credit of not waiting for the night, but he should not be an old bird, what is the opening of such a good novel."
"Then this guy is a genius!"
"I'm already looking forward to his next work, which is usually a prolific writer who has just debuted, and I should be able to see his new work soon."
……
Nathan Book House has specially sent people to keep an eye on the academy, which can be regarded as an observation of readers' reading tastes, and from time to time they will pretend to be passers-by and push books to real passers-by.
The sales of this issue of "Reasoning and Suspense" have soared.
There was a lot of discussion about "The Human Chair" at the Academy.
The reasoning and suspense department of Nathan Book House naturally paid attention to the whole process, and in the end, even the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the department were shocked, and the influence of this novel is extremely great!
"Everyone."
The deputy editor-in-chief entered the editor's office and said with a smile: "We have been a great success in this issue of "Mystery and Suspense", and I would like to praise editor Pan Yi. ”
Bang bang bang.
The editors applauded.
Pan Yi is the editor who dug out "The Human Chair", and after reading it, he used the right of direct push and directly put the work on the table of the deputy editor, so the novel could finally be put at the beginning of the magazine.
You must know that the editor's direct push power is precious.
Each editor has six direct referrals per year.
Only when the editor encounters the kind of work that he thinks is very powerful, he will exercise the right to directly recommend it and send it to the editor-in-chief level leader.
Apparently.
Pan Yi's direct push was successful!
The deputy editor-in-chief directly clapped after the applause: "Contact the goodwill of Nathan Bookstore to release the night, and the price of his next work can be appropriately raised, Pan Yi is responsible for this." ”
"Yes!"
Pan Yi was in good spirits.
The deputy editor-in-chief said: "When the new work is written, you can show it to me directly." ”
Not Nightless is not a veteran writer yet.
Usually this is the treatment only for established writers.
It can be seen that Nathan Book House still attaches great importance to Buyehou, a newcomer writer who has just debuted.
And the other side.
Of course, Lin Zhibai also noticed the discussion of "The Human Chair" in the academy.
"Perverted?"
When he saw a bunch of people describing this novel like this, even the author of Never Yehou, Lin Zhibai didn't know whether to be happy or depressed for a while, he could only say that the pen power of Mr. Edogawa Ranbu and the perverted psychology of the chairmaker were too realistic!
Close the webpage.
Lin Zhibai looked at his phone.
Last month's song download share also came down today, more than Lin Zhibai imagined, and there were more than 3.6 million after tax.
Take another look.
It turned out that the custom share of Party A of "Moonlight" was also sent together.
Mythical salary is very efficient, and now with Lin Zhibai's previous money, his personal savings are close to seven million, which is quite a considerable amount.
You must know that Lin Zhibai is only seventeen years old.
Although Lin Zhibai was born in a chaebol and didn't worry about eating and drinking when he was a child, he basically told his family directly about anything he wanted to buy, so he had never had so much money in his hands.
Fortunately, the family is very open-minded.
The money that Lin Zhibai has now is all earned by writing songs.
Of course, his parents and family knew about the existence of this money, but they didn't care how Lin Zhibai spent it.
That's when it happened.
Jiang Cheng called.
Lin Zhibai connected, and Jiang Cheng's voice came from the opposite side: "Nathan Book House contacted me and wanted to continue the appointment with the boss, and the remuneration was mentioned as two thousand words." ”
"Two thousand words?"
"This is a treatment that only writers with certain qualifications can enjoy, under normal circumstances, new writers only have a salary of a few hundred words per thousand, and "The Human Chair" is because the quality is good enough, so they reluctantly give a price of 1,000 words, which is already the cap price for new writers."
"I'll think about it."
Lin Zhibai did not expect himself to become a big-name writer with "The Chair in the World".
In the end, this is a newcomer's new work, and even Edogawa Ranbu himself has only increased in value after releasing many high-quality works in a row.
As for whether you will continue to work with Nathan Books?
Then you have to see if you can win other works of fiction through the lottery first.
Because of the release of "The Human Chair" and the follow-up impact of the previous two songs, Lin Zhibai has now saved up three more lottery chances......
"Okay."
Jiang Cheng asked, "Does the boss have any work arrangements for the future?" ”
Lin Zhibai said: "You can learn about the mythical entertainment TV department next, and it is best to grasp the information of some middle and senior leaders." ”
"The TV Department of Mythology?"
Jiang Cheng didn't expect Lin Zhibai's topic to jump so much.
Lin Zhibai smiled: "As a writer, I can write TV scripts, which should be a reasonable and logical thing, right?" ”
The script Lin Zhibai said was "Hurricane".
After getting this script, Lin Zhibai will take time to write it from time to time, and it is almost finished so far, and he hopes to get the investment of mythology in this drama.
This is the key to his second-step plan.
If you don't cooperate with Mythology, you can't help your father Lin Dong.
Jiang Cheng was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "I understand!" ”
Jiang Cheng is very careful about proportion, he just needs to do the things that Lin Zhibai explained, as for whether the boss will write the script and what the quality of the script is, he will naturally know when the time comes, although he has a big question mark in his heart.
"I didn't hang up beforehand."
Lin Zhibai hung up the phone, and then called Crimson in his heart.
"Ding-dong."
Crimson appeared, "What does the host command?" ”
Lin Zhibai confirmed: "I have three more chances to draw now, right?" ”
"That's right."
As Lin Zhibai released more and more works, the speed of his reputation gradually increased, and the lottery opportunities were obviously more than at the beginning.
"It's time for a three-in-a-row."
Lin Zhibai smiled, he was about to start the lottery, and he directly used up all the three lottery chances.
Because the works in hand are obviously insufficient, whether it is songs or novels, these two fields are now Lin Zhibai's basic plates, as for those short film scripts, he has not found time to toss for the time being, and he must always maintain the basic plate before considering these things.
The next moment.
A virtual turntable appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes.
The virtual turntable moved, and finally Lin Zhibai heard three system prompts:
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the song "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow"]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the variety show planning case "Singer"]
[Congratulations to the host for winning the short story collection "ZOO"]
