Chapter 112: Conversations, Special Admissions, and New Memories of the Girl

"Liuli Book Society?"

Xia Yanyan's expression was stunned when he heard this.

The seven giant light companies in the Dragon Kingdom are "Liuli Books", "Qingze Books", and "Starry Sky". Nanyue Literature", "Dawn Library", "Xuanzhou Library", "Breaking the Moon" and other seven schools.

Among them, the first three sales channels cover all counties and cities in the whole dragon country, and the last four can only be said to have room for improvement, and their respective sales channels cover seven or eight provinces.

There is an obvious pattern of three strong and four weak.

Among them, among the seven giant bookstores in the Dragon Kingdom, the Demon Capital area occupies two, namely "Qingze Library" and "Liuli Library".

The other five are all in the imperial capital area.

Just like Kang Ning, who once appeared at the Nancheng Comic Con, he is a light newcomer to the book club cultivated by Qingze Bookstore in the past two years. Of course, Kangning's rise is also related to his father, who served as the editor-in-chief of Qingze Library.

And Chu Li, who ranked third in the selection of the new gods. It is a newcomer cultivated by the starry sky of the imperial capital.

As for Jiang Jing, who is in second place

It is the top newcomer in the light world cultivated by the Liuli Book Club in the past two years.

If Xia Yan hadn't sprung up, then Jiang Jing would have basically determined that she would win the first place in the new god ascending ladder, and her reputation as the strongest newcomer in the Dragon Country light industry in the past two years would be very stable.

Xia Yan opened the door, and outside the door, there was a woman about thirty years old with a good face and a capable appearance.

"Hello, I'm Meng Lin from Liuli Book Society, and this is my assistant, Li Ke."

After the woman saw Xia Yan who opened the door, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Hello." Xia Yan hesitated for a moment and let the two of them into the house.

Meng Lin looked at the three-bedroom apartment where Xia Yan lived, although the decoration was average and the space was not large, it was generous and decent, clean and concise. Although he lived alone, he didn't have the smell of bags of takeaway boxes piled up in the house, so he nodded slightly.

This is much better than the environment she once saw when she once poached a college male home in the University of Magic City.

Can you imagine a four-person male college student dormitory, the pile of garbage can be as high as her waist, and the smell will make her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

Xia Yan poured tea for the two, and then waited for the two to speak.

In fact, the meaning of these two people coming to the door is self-evident.

The two also knew that Xia Yan would definitely be able to guess the intentions of the two, but neither of them wanted to take the initiative to speak.

The atmosphere, after being silent for half a minute, when Meng Lin saw Xia Yan looking at her without saying a word, she finally felt a little embarrassed to go on like this, and took the initiative to speak.

"Teacher Xia Yan, I've been in good health lately."

"Okay." Xia Yan said.

"My back doesn't hurt, my legs don't hurt, and I don't need to take calcium tablets, after all, I'm just a seventeen-year-old young man."

"Hehe, Teacher Xia Yan said with a smile." Meng Lin's smile retracted, and then her eyes became serious.

"I heard that Mr. Xia Yan seems to have signed a long-term contract with any book club now, right?"

Xia Yan paused and nodded slightly.

"That's right."

"So now, Mr. Xia Yan, have you ever thought about leaving Southern Province, leaving a small light company like Hongfeng Literature, and going to a broader platform?" Meng Lin slowly opened her mouth and said her intention.

"Well, I'm actually very comfortable in Red Maple Literature, and the people there are very kind and kind to me." Xia Yan did not answer this question directly.

"However, people go to high places, I don't mean that Red Maple Literature has any business or operational problems, but that it is too small. Red maple literature, the southern province is not enough for you to show your strength. ”

In fact, both of them were talking politely, Xia Yan was of course interested in the olive branch of Liuli Book Society, but it was difficult to talk about the conditions if he was too eager.

Moreover, among the three most powerful book societies of the Seven Great Book Societies of the Dragon Kingdom

It may not be only the Liuli family who came to him.

At this time, Meng Lin's assistant Li Ke hurriedly handed over a letter of intent for cooperation to Xia Yan to watch at her signal.

In addition to writing on weekdays, there are also various signing meetings, fan meetings, variety shows on various TV stations, and other activities such as signing and selling books.

In the Dragon Country. Light writers are actually the same as celebrities, they have huge popularity and commercial value, but their status is much higher.

After all, although he is a writer, he is also a branch of the literati, even if he is the same popularity and popularity, the status of the writer is definitely higher than that of the star.

Therefore, for a writer like Xia Yan, who obviously has great potential, these book clubs will arrange a life and a business agent to handle all the things of the writer.

For example, like the award ceremony of the new god ascending the ladder, Jiang Jing only needs to listen to the arrangement throughout the whole process, and can eat and sleep at the end of the day, Xia Yan has to arrange and plan the itinerary by himself, and the handling of one thing is still like this, if more than a dozen things are all backlogged, then without the help of an agent, Xia Yan will spend all his time dealing with trivial matters, and he doesn't want to have time to write at all.

The content of this letter of intent for the contract is basically a few points.

First, sign a ten-year contract.

Second, Xia Yan will be arranged with one of the best brokers in the industry to give him the most potential new star training.

Third, the new work, the book society gives top specifications to publicize, once the follow-up Xia Yan writes unexpected results, then this specification will also rise, not because Xia Yan has signed a contract with the book club for ten years, even if Xia Yan already has a reputation as a top family in the industry, and disgust him with the contract, give him a very low remuneration, it will also give a rise to a certain extent.

Xia Yan watched quietly and didn't say a word.

At Meng Lin's signal, assistant Li Ke spoke.

"Actually, the seven major book societies of the Dragon Kingdom have their own set of training standards, and this standard is much the same."

"That's right, even if there are book clubs other than us and Teacher Yuanqing, you have some contact, such as Starry Sky, such as Qingze. However, Teacher Yuanqing is not me to slander my peers, Xingkong and Qingze Library, although the strength is slightly stronger than our Liuli Book Society, but the internal relationship between the two of them is complicated, and the nepotism is serious. ”

Meng Lin has spoken to the point, but if Xia Yan is a smart person, he should know.

A capable person is not afraid of challenges, but if you enter an environment with serious nepotism and you have no background of your own, then you have to coil even if you are a dragon.

The person who participated in the New God Ascension Activity of Qingze Bookstore this time was Kang Ning, his father was the editor-in-chief of the library, and as for Chu Li, the family launched by Starry Sky, her mother was a medium-sized shareholder of Starry Sky Books.

"The resources of any company are limited, Mr. Yuanqing, you are in our Liuli Book Club, you only need to show your strength to get matching resources, but in other places, it may not be the case."

Meng Lin said a lot of words in a row.

Xia Yan is still carefully studying this letter of intent for cooperation.

"Well, I'm a newcomer." Xia Yan suddenly spoke.

"There are a lot of things I don't understand. However, I think that your company will not cheat a small writer like me, I believe that the letter of intent given by your company should be a high-quality condition given according to the market situation. ”

When Meng Lin heard this, she smiled at the corner of her lips and nodded slightly, this is a smart person, who is not suspicious, how can it be like some people, who watch too much TV, and always feel that the book society cheats them, just kidding, if a company only relies on pit people, can it achieve a market value of 10 billion, and the top three of the seven major book societies in the Dragon Kingdom?

"Still." Xia Yan's turning tone came out.

"I'll have to think about it for a while before I can reply to the Liuli Society, and. Even if I think about it clearly, there is one condition on this letter of intent that I cannot accept. Xia Yan looked at Meng Lin.

"This signing time, ten years, is too long."

"Oh, is ten years too long?" Meng Lin's eyes narrowed.

"Then how long does Teacher Yuanqing think it is appropriate?"

"Eight years, nine years?"

"No, I'm a person who likes freedom." Xia Yan shook his head.

"I don't want to sign a long-term contract. Just a normal book, just sign a contract like that. ”

"I don't want to. Signing a long-term contract? Meng Lin smiled at the corner of her mouth, and Xia Yan had a childish expression on her face.

"But. . . If you are not willing to sign a long-term contract, how can you get the vigorous training of the book club? ”

A long contract is equal to a compilation. The longer the period of signing a long contract, the higher the recognition of the book club will be for you.

Just like the employees in the Longguo Agency, whether a person is an establishment employee who is admitted to the school, or a contract temporary worker who can run at any time, can the treatment and attention given by others be the same? Without that establishment, even if you are ten times more capable than a regular employee, you will not have a chance to move up.

Of course, private book publishers will not be so extreme within the enterprise, and authors who have not signed long-term contracts want to win in the competition for resources.

Then you have to show enough strength.

You have to make the book club feel that the benefits you bring to the book club with just one book can be higher than the total benefit that an author with the average ability to sign a ten-year contract will bring to the book club in the next few years, then in terms of resources, the book club will still tilt towards you. Otherwise, people will definitely choose to cultivate their own people.

One person's ability is not enough for the time being, but there is a long-term limit, and others will not run! will not cultivate a famous writer, and people will immediately jump ship and run away. Loyalty also largely determines the direction of the bookstore's operation.

"Actually, I think, Teacher Yuanqing, you have to be sober." Meng Lin put away her smile.

"I believe that Teacher Yuanqing does have great potential, but you have to give full play to this potential and transform it into actual strength before you can negotiate conditions with the book club."

Xia Yan frowned when he heard this.

Of course, he knows that he is just a newcomer light writer, although he can be called the first person in the ranks of newcomers in the past two years.

But the Dragon Kingdom has accumulated a deep foundation over the past few decades, and many bigwigs in the world are still active in the market, so it is naturally no problem for those people to negotiate conditions with a book club like Liuli.

But a newcomer like him is still a little less qualified to negotiate conditions.

But it's someone else.

Xia Yan knows very well that he has a huge treasure trove, but how many years has his life been?

From his teens to his retirement in his sixties and seventies, ten years, that's almost one-fifth or sixth of his professional life.

It's too wasteful to waste it on a newcomer's long-term appointment in a book club.

And the most important thing is that there is a restriction on the long-term contracts of these book clubs, and the literary works created during the contract period must be given priority to the book club, and the book club does not want to submit the manuscript to other companies.

Specifically, if Xia Yan signs a contract with Liuli, and he wants to write an animation script in the future, then Liuli can't look at this script and feels that there is no way to adapt it into a version, so Xia Yan can submit it to the animation company.

This includes Xia Yan opening his own animation company to engage in original animation, which is not good.

This kind of restriction lasts for ten years, and Xia Yan can't allow it, and the works he can receive from Yuan Qing's memory are not necessarily all suitable for adaptation into light works.

For example, Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, without the blessing of the picture, rely on words alone, it is always too dry, and the plot is very appealingly adapted, and there may only be six or seven points left.

It's just that although Meng Lin's words are more direct, they are also the truth, she is not unacceptable to Xia Yan's cooperation method of not signing a long-term contract, but in this case, the importance rating given to Xia Yan by the book club will drop too much.

Without the blessing of resources, what if you have creative strength? By analogy, among the stars in the entertainment industry, how many people can become popular only with their acting skills and not by capital?

Not nothing, but the probability will be much lower.

"Well, that's a hard condition for me to work with any book club. I know it's not going to be good for my career, but." Xia Yan smiled apologetically at Meng Lin.

Hearing this, Meng Lin nodded slightly.

"Then, I still hope that Teacher Yuanqing will think about it more. Ten years, for the seventeen-year-old teacher Yuanqing you. It's not that long. If you feel that you have enough strength, by the time you are twenty-seven years old, you will definitely be qualified to negotiate conditions at that time. ”

After speaking, Meng Lin got up, nodded to Xia Yan, and left in style after a few words of greeting.

Anyway, she came with sincerity, and whether the thing succeeds or not, it depends on Xia Yan.

The way of cooperation without signing a long-term contract, it is difficult for her to accept anyway.

A potential author, even if he has the most top-level resources, may not be able to become a top-level light writer in the end, not to mention that Xia Yan still makes such a proposal?

Creative ability and the blessing of resource platforms are the two most critical conditions for a family to become famous.

Xia Yan still wants to become famous easily when he has shortcomings in one aspect, so it would be too much to treat other competitors as waste.

In the next few days, as Xia Yan predicted, Starry Sky and Qingze and several other large book clubs sent people to contact Xia Yan one after another, but when they heard that Xia Yan didn't want to sign a long contract, they all frowned.

Once this cooperation intention is reached, Xia Yan will have many restrictions on the development of even if he joins their book club, so what is the point of recruiting Xia Yan like that?

The number of competitive places is limited, and instead of putting his limited connections as an agent on Xia Yan, it is better to find other writers who are more valuable to cultivate.

In such a situation.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, Xia Yan ushered in an unexpected surprise.

Modu University actually sent someone to his home to discuss with him about the quota for special admission.

Just like physics, mathematics, art, piano and other competitions, if the dragon country wins the gold medal, the first prize and the like, the student will get a special admission quota for this kind of prestigious school even if he is partial to the subject.

The purpose of others is very simple, if Xia Yan agrees to enter the literature department of their university, and agrees to use his popularity and popularity as a light writer to a certain extent after admission, and cooperate with the university to carry out a certain degree of publicity, then their admission score requirements for Xia Yan will be greatly reduced.

After all, the newcomer light writer who has reached the first place in the new god can be said to be the top newcomer in the industry in the past two years.

Xia Yan fully meets the qualifications for special admission.

For this case

After Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, how could he disagree?

After casually looking at the special recruitment documents, I only thought about it all night, and signed my name directly.

He is now alone, and he doesn't need to consult anyone to do things, so he is also very simple.

Anyway, admission based on scores is admission, and admission based on specialties is also admission.

Does it matter what major you read for a light writer? The important thing is the school you attend.

When the time comes, the life resume will come out.

Whether Yuan Qing studied at Modu University or Modu Vocational and Technical College, it felt completely different.

"So according to the contract, I only need to have a total score of 440 in the college entrance examination to study at Modu University, which was last year's college entrance examination and had an average admission score of 662?"

This cooperation intention is determined as soon as it is confirmed.

Xia Yan's haze disappeared for most of the month in a row.

He also knew that he didn't want to sign a long-term contract with other people's book clubs, but in the eyes of others, he was too arrogant.

But Xia Yan is not arrogant, he is really confident that he can get out of the entire Dragon Kingdom by relying on the general-level resources of the cooperative book club, not the recommendation of top resources, but others question this, then Xia Yan can't help it, otherwise Xia Yan can only contribute to these book clubs if he has any works in the future, and he has no freedom at all.

At the end of May, the organizers of the new god ascending and Xia Yan's single book release intention was released.

The time was set for the beginning of July, and the top 10 works in the freshman journal were agreed to be sold in a single edition.

And four companies began to contact Xia Yan on the cooperation of animation film and television adaptation on going to the moon.

This includes Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man Pictures".

Early June.

The day before the college entrance examination, under the pressure of the college entrance examination, Xia Yan fell into Yuan Qing's memory again.

This night.

Under the pressure of the college entrance examination.

In this dream, Xia Yan once again had some useful memories.

this night.

Yuan Qing stayed up late, she followed her friend's advice, since she was abused by "going to the moon" and "looking for paradise".

Then you have to watch some combat cool comics and cute art style anime to spice up your body and mind.

The work recommended to her by Yuan Qing's friend is.

One of the three major food fan, the "parasitic beast".

and the anime "Madoka Magica", which is very happy and cute when you hear the name.

That,It doesn't seem good to always make some unpopular.,But I don't think there are many bad reviews for going to the moon.,Maybe many readers also think it's okay to be unpopular.。

But the author considers that most readers don't read much of the drama, and the unpopular works will continue to be written later, but interspersed.

So I would have liked to put "In Search of Paradise", "Braveheart: World War", "I'll be waiting for you in seven years!" "These game works are written in again, but,What to say?,Interspersed with it later.,Many readers may not have seen it at all.,The sense of substitution is not strong.。

The next two works are parasitic beasts and magic circles for the time being.,And then I'll alternate between popular works and works that I think are unpopular and good-looking.。

I hope you don't think it's abrupt.

By the way, let me ask one more question, the magic circle and the parasitic beast should not be unpopular.

I don't think it's unpopular, but if you really haven't seen it.

emmm, that's okay too. It's like going to the moon, many people haven't seen it, and I haven't lost anything about it. It means that I haven't seen it, but there are still many people who can watch it and subscribe.

This chapter is not divided into chapters, and there will be another chapter later, but it is not clear when it will be released.

You can get up tomorrow and watch it.

(End of chapter)
