The bulk of the sales of the single book of the Youth Journey must still be in the southern provinces, but the sales volume of other provinces in some book fans has far exceeded the expectations of Red Maple Literature.

But after all, it will take a while for the sales of novels to be counted, although Xia Yan is concerned and curious about the results of his works, he is not too anxious, but on Wednesday.... At Tang Yin's invitation, she came to her home again.

The final chapters of his and Song Lingyun's novels have all been handed over to Tang Yin last Friday, and in terms of contract, the contract between him and Song Lingyun and Hongfeng Literature has come to an end for the time being.

The time is close to April, and the weather is also hot, Tang Yin is wearing a black pleated skirt, the skirt she wears has changed from ankle-length last month to slightly shorter than the knee now, her hair is straight and shawl, and her face is covered with light makeup, looking beautiful and capable.

"What are you doing with us this time?"

After Xia Yan came to Tang Yin's house, he chatted with her for a while, and when Song Lingyun also came, Xia Yan asked directly.

"Well, there are two things." Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"In view of the excellent performance of the two of you in the market, the senior management of Red Maple Literature would like to ask the two of you if you are interested in signing a long-term contract with Red Maple Literature?"

Tang Yin asked in one sentence, and there was a little silence at the scene.

Normally, like Red Maple Literature, it will send a long-term invitation to those potential light novel writers.

If you accept a long-term contract, your fiction must be submitted to Red Maple Literature within the contract period.

Unless Red Maple Literature doesn't like your novel, send your work back, and you can submit this work to other book clubs.

Of course, for the author of the long-term contract, the review threshold for the fiction works he created will be lowered at the serialization meeting, and if there are multiple novels of similar level at the conference, then Red Maple Literature must also choose the works of the long-term author for serialization.

In addition, the manuscript fee for the authors who sign long-term contracts with the book club, the strength of novel publicity, typesetting, and resource tilt will be higher than that of other writers.

In addition, the book club will also give the long-term author a basic salary during the contract period, pay social security, and these additional expenses will be borne by the book club.

Because Xia Yan and Song Lingyun were just pure newcomers at the beginning, Red Maple Literature only signed a cooperation contract with them for a single book.

Now Red Maple Literature has also reacted, with the performance of the youth journey and yesterday's starlight, what are these two potential newcomer authors waiting for if they are not included in their own camp now? Wait for the other four book clubs in Southern Province to come and poach them?

"My words.... There are no plans for this for the time being. Song Lingyun hesitated for a moment and spoke first.

"It's free to write novels, and I'm grateful for the support I have received from Red Maple Literature, but ...... Red maple literature has its natural limitations, that is, the works serialized by the book club are basically youth love. Song Lingyun said this, looking at Tang Yin a little nervously.

After finding that Tang Yin was not angry because of his words, he continued.

"If the novels I write in the future are still about youth love, then I will definitely choose Red Maple Literature to publish them. But if the novels I write in the future are suspense, blood, mystery or other genres... This long-term contract is a shackle that restricts me. ”

After Tang Yin listened, he thought for a few seconds, and then looked at Xia Yan.

"What about you?"

"Me?" Xia Yan blinked.

In fact, he was muttering in his heart.

Although he felt that he had a good relationship with Tang Yin, he was a little impersonal and too arrogant when someone else sent him such a solemn invitation to him and refused.

Will Tang Yin hurt her feelings because she didn't agree, and she felt that she was going to run away to other book clubs.....

The thoughts in people's minds can always flash a lot in a moment, but after all, people are at a critical moment.... Can't be indecisive.

"I also think the same as Song Lingyun." Xia Yan said.

"The works I'm good at writing aren't just novels about young people's love. The long-term contract is actually a restriction on my own creation. ”

"That's it!" Tang Yin paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Forget it. Tomorrow I will report to the top management of the book club. ”

？

Xia Yan and Song Lingyun were both a little stunned.

"Huh?" Song Lingyun immediately asked.

"You.... Are you just that? ”

"What if it weren't?" Tang Yin asked Song Lingyun rhetorically.

"Your meaning has been expressed so clearly, and I don't have a problem with my IQ, why do I keep bothering you?"

"I, I thought ..... You're going to have some admonishment talk to me or something, and try to change my mind. ”

When Song Lingyun heard this, he also made a bold statement, after all, he really didn't feel any unpleasant emotions from Tang Yin.

"Well, if it were for other fiction writers, then I might do that. After all, that's my job, and I have to do everything I can to achieve the results that the book club wants. But ..... to you," Tang Yin said with a smile.

"Who told you not to have time to go to Red Maple Literature on weekdays to discuss these things with me? It's overtime now, and I don't have overtime pay, so I'm definitely not as serious and hard working as I usually do...."

"And, not just as an editor, but as a friend, I respect your choice, and I think your considerations... There is some truth to it. ”

mediocre talents, hoping to use a long-term contract to get a chance to guarantee the bottom.

But for geniuses..... Often the long-term contract signed with the book club will become a shackle that traps their development at the end of their career.

Song Lingyun is fine, but.... Xia Yan.

Signing a long-term contract with Red Maple Literature, in Tang Yin's opinion, is very uneconomical for him, unless he becomes a mediocre novelist after the end of his youth journey, and he can no longer write excellent novels.

Then Xia Yan will be able to earn the social security and low wages paid by the book club for him during the five-year contract period.

This money adds up, and it is not a small amount .... But it's not that big.

But this: . Is it possible? Sixteen-year-old Xia Yan can write a journey of youth, what about Xia Yan in the future, will he be willing to be a marginal writer in the southern province all the time? Not thinking about making your name go all over the country?

Tang Yin felt that Xia Yan or Song Lingyun would not be so inferior anyway.

If it was a long-term invitation from several top national journals in the Dragon Kingdom, it would be an opportunity for the two of them to be seized.

However, with Tang Yin's identity, out of professional ethics, she definitely can't say these thoughts.

If that's the case, wouldn't you be eating red maple's rice and smashing red maple's pot? But as a friend, she is quite happy about the long-term choice made by the two.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that her family conditions are superior, being a novel editor is just a hobby, and who knows when she will leave Southern Province and be recalled by her family, so she does not have such a strong sense of belonging to red maple literature.

If the editorial role was her only means of making a living, then she probably wouldn't have chosen to let her two potential stocks so freely.

"From a friend.....

When Xia Yan and Song Lingyun heard Tang Yin's words, their hearts were slightly touched.

After all, both of them are the kind of people who don't have many friends in school and life. Maybe there are some people in the class who talk more often, but that's still a little short of the level of friends.

Speaking of.... What about me and her/him?

What kind of relationship?

Thinking of this, at this moment, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun glanced at each other together, and then the moment they looked at each other, they swam away without a trace.

...
