Early July.

The single book of the top 10 works of the new god ascended to the throne was jointly issued by the "Seven Books Society Committee".

Last month, when Xia Yan was busy with the college entrance examination and looking for a home, the fame of the work "Go to the Moon" spread wildly among the light fans of the Dragon Kingdom.

The word-of-mouth of going to the moon is obvious to all, and many readers who did not chase and buy the New God Ascending Journal have already had great expectations for this work after the promotion of the fame of the work in the past two months.

Xia Yan even in the magic capital area, he can see in the local bookstore that the single book to the moon is piled up extremely high in a conspicuous position in the bookstore, and its sales.

Obviously, compared to the new god ascending to the ranks, the other nine released single books sold much faster.

The outside world now agrees that with the popularity of going to the moon during the serialization period and the quality of the book, this single book will sell more than 4 million copies within three months of its release.

This is actually an exaggerated sales estimate.

Unheard of the name animation is so popular.,With the east wind of animation.,With the blessing of no large-scale book club publicity channels.,Now it's only exceeded five million copies when it was released for almost a year.。

Although going to the moon has the blessing and publicity of the seven major book society committees in the whole dragon country, people will definitely not come up with top resources to support such a non-profit film as going to the moon.

Looking at it this way, the estimated sales of 4 million copies of a single book that went to the moon are really quite high.

However, after the production of the anime movie that goes to the moon is launched, the sales of the single book that goes to the moon should usher in a second wave of skyrocketing.

Xia Yan looked at some data sent by the staff who were connected with him, and then looked at the tall building in the distance.

After coming to the magic capital, a few days ago, in order to go to the moon for the anime adaptation, he has been busy docking with Tang Yin's father's "Sugar Man" Pictures.

And then now

He was on his way to the agreed place to meet Jiang Jing's agent "Bai Xuan".

In the center of the magic city, in an elegantly decorated café.

Xia Yan came here almost half an hour in advance of the appointed time.

On his left hand side are the first five chapters of the parasitic beast's adaptation.

There was a classic piano music from the Dragon Kingdom plane in the café, and Xia Yan's eyes noticed the girl playing this song in the middle of the café.

The girl's skin is white and snowy, her temperament is elegant, her hair is tied into a single ponytail, and her fingers pluck a string of finger remnants on the keys.

The reason why Xia Yan noticed her

It's because . Not long after Xia Yan sat here, the girl's eyes had been staring at Xia Yan, and Xia Yan could obviously feel her piano sound since she came in. It's a little scattered.

After all, when he cooperated with Song Lingyun to compose two tunes together, Xia Yan at least practiced some in his ears, at least his feeling was so.

As for why the other party stared at him, Xia Yan guessed

may recognize him, it's his fan.

Xia Yan thought for a while, and called a waiter in the café to ask.

"Who is she?"

Xia Yan pointed to the person who played the piano.

"Hello guest, she is a student at Modu University who works part-time at our café during the summer vacation. How? Is it her playing that dissatisfies you? ”

Modu University students?

Summer job.

That's Senior Sister.

Xia Yan immediately put away his indifferent attitude, if it was a passer-by fan, forget it, since it was a senior sister who was working a summer job, and it might be her own fan.

"Oh no. I mean, she played pretty well. ”

Although Xia Yan earns tens of millions of dollars a year, to be honest, he basically has no time to enjoy luxury, so he is still a civilian.

Although he was a little distressed, he still took out a hundred dragon coins from his wallet and handed it to the waiter.

"For her, tip."

Just support your fans, it's not common anyway.

"It's all about tipping her, isn't it?" The waiter looked at Xia Yan with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and then took out another fifty and handed it to the waiter.

"This is for you."

Damn, one hundred and fifty yuan is basically a day's and a half's wages for the working class in the Demon Capital area, and it is also Xia Yan's income for almost ten minutes.

After all, the purchasing power of the Dragon Kingdom Currency is about half of the dollar in the parallel world, and many salaried people earn three or four thousand a month, Xia Yan's move is actually quite generous in the eyes of the waiter.

"Thank you, guest."

Xia Yan smiled, and no longer cared about the girl who played the piano.

But after the waiter handed the tip to the girl, the sound of the piano in the café soon changed.

A familiar tune sounded.

"To the creek!"

Xia Yan's eyes were stunned, and he looked at the senior sister.

The other party also looked at him.

Sure enough, she knew me.

But without waiting for Xia Yan to say anything, a woman in a white dress and high heels walked in.

The woman is tall, almost 1.7 meters tall, carrying a luxury bag, light makeup on her fair and beautiful face, and as soon as she enters the café, many men can't help but look at her.

"Hello, Teacher Xia Yan, I'm the agent of Liuli Book Club "Bai Xuan". ”

The woman looked at Xia Yan with a smile on her face.

She heard about Xia Yan from Jiang Jing, and she also knew what her colleague Meng Lin was thinking.

Xia Yan, a person who is not even willing to sign the long contract and is afraid of being bound, will definitely not give priority to those two after learning that the starry sky and the nepotism of Qingze Library.

Meng Lin only needs to treat Xia Yan coldly for a month or two, and then Xia Yan will most likely leave Meng Lin and sign a ten-year contract with Liuli Books.

Of course, it doesn't matter how the other party operates Bai Xuan, after all, the book club arranged for Meng Lin to connect with Xia Yan, and Bai Xuan is not easy to interfere.

Merely.

Now Xia Yan took the initiative to come to her, which is not a rule-breaking.

"I have a general understanding of the situation, and Mr. Xia Yan wants to cooperate with me, which I am naturally very happy about. After all, he was the one who easily defeated the genius author "Jiang Jing" that I had spent a lot of effort digging up. Bai Xuan's crystal lips gently took a sip of coffee.

"But my words. In fact, the business ability and relationship network may not be stronger than Meng Lin. If she can't give it to you, I shouldn't be able to."

"I know I only have two simple conditions. First, my new work can be qualified to be serialized in the sub-journal "Liuli" of Liuli Publishing House. Second, I don't sign long-term contracts. Xia Yan said.

It is said that there are two simple conditions, but in reality, it is not simple.

"It's okay not to sign a long-term contract, but the impact on you is that the manuscript fee is a little less. In addition, if your work is released as a single book in the future, the publicity resources given by the book club may only be about 60 or 70 percent of the authors with the same results. But how to say it, the text is good and can be broken. Bai Xuan smiled.

"If it is a real hit, even if it is for the sake of its own profits, the book club will not be perfunctory. Even if the author is not the book president's work. ”

To put it bluntly, whether the author signs a long-term contract or not for ordinary level works will affect the level of funding for publicity resources, which will affect the sales of books, and then convert into direct income for authors.

But in a hit-level work, which book society hates a lot of money and doesn't make money? As long as the book club can see the benefits, it will still push it with all its might. Long contracts, in many cases, are often to protect the interests of middle-level families. restricts the play of high-level families, so that he can't ask for a sky-high price after becoming famous.

"As for what you said about your new work you want to be in "Glass! Serialized in this journal. That kind of thing doesn't lie with me, but with yourself, Mr. Xia Yan. I will help you fight for opportunities, but if your work is not strong, it is useless for me to fight for it. Bai Xuan smiled.

"I understand." Xia Yan nodded.

In fact, the two have been chatting on the Penguin for a few days before this meeting, and the details of the cooperation have been roughly finalized by both sides.

Xia Yan handed over the manuscript on his left hand side to Bai Xuan.

In fact, agents like the Seven Majors have a lot of overlap in their work content and editing.

But they are more to help the signatories to carry out the overall development of personal values.

For example, with the funds given by the book club, the public opinion of the good photos is released on the Internet, the meeting between the author and the fans is organized, the works under his command are helped to carry out all-round and in-depth IP adaptation, and even the physical and mental health of the family will be supervised regularly, and if necessary, a doctor will be hired to carry out psychological dredging for some stressful families, saving some people from having bad serialization results and being scolded by millions of readers.

Otherwise, if one writes it, how many people understand this? Even if you do, how many people have the energy to manipulate these trivial matters?

"Parasitic beasts?" Bai Xuan opened the document and looked at it briefly.

In her working group in the Liuli Book Society, there are several employees who help her deal with affairs, whether there is a problem with the plot of the manuscript, and what suggestions can be put forward mainly depends on the opinions of those people after review.

But Bai Xuan must have the basic ability to read manuscripts.

She doesn't judge the manuscript with too professional eyes anyway, so in fact, when she reads the manuscript, she is often limited by the standard.

She thinks of herself as a reader, thinking of nothing, staring at the manuscript of the "parasitic beast".

Parasitic beasts invade the earth?

Seeing this setting, Bai Xuan frowned.

It's not that it can't be done, it's mainly Xia Yan.

Change the theme again?

The work of a young girl on the journey of youth, before hearing the name of the flower, it has become a story of friendship.

As for going to the moon, it is more like a work that celebrates love, but it is very different from youth love.

And the parasitic beast

No matter how you look at it, it's all combat.

Bai Xuan continued to read.

Parasitic beasts randomly parasitize various animals, invade the brain, and then, disguise themselves in human society

You thought that a gentle wife, a kind mother's lovely daughter, but in the dead of night, by your bedside

Eat.

Eaten?

Bai Xuan's eyes widened when she saw this.

There are no Tokyo foodies, retreating dwarves, and parasitic beasts in the Dragon Country.

This kind of thing, just the setting makes Bai Xuan feel extreme

Interesting.

Cannibalism is of course terrifying, but it's not so scary when it comes to writing, because the reader knows that the protagonist will definitely not be eaten so badly.

The protagonist who was invaded by the parasitic beast, but the parasitic beast invasion failed, so he could only give up the parasitic protagonist's brain, but in order to survive, he was forced to parasitize the protagonist's right hand.

In this way, the protagonist of the story has a super strong golden right hand that is not under his control, can be soft or hard, fast or slow, and can even change various postures.

At first, Bai Xuan just thought that this was a hot-blooded and cool article in which the male protagonist fought with parasitic beasts.

But looking at it, something is wrong

The more I watched it, the more I felt that this plot was a bit profound and quite depressing.

Compared with the improvement of the male protagonist's combat effectiveness, it is better to say that the whole film is more about depicting the change of mood of the male protagonist.

Especially in Chapter 5.

When the male protagonist returns home and receives a call from his seriously injured father, telling him to call the police and not trust his mother.

Bai Xuan's whole heart was entangled.

, devotes a lot of space to describe this plot.

How the protagonist is apprehensive and welcomes his mother's return at home.

How could he not believe that his mother's head was directly split like a twisted twist in front of him, splitting into a sharp blade made of flesh, and piercing his heart with a knife.

The person you love the most in the world has become a monster little by little in your eyes and has taken your life with your own hands.

Syllable!

Bai Xuan put her hands together on the manuscript, took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yan.

"Written. It's quite innovative. Bai Xuan could only say this for the time being.

But I have a strong desire to know the follow-up plot in my heart, but I am telling Bai Xuan that this . Extremely high quality.

"I'll leave the manuscript with me for the time being. I will go back and discuss with the relevant personnel of the book club to confirm, and draft the contract, this time, if everything goes well, it will be in a few days."

Bai Xuan got up and stretched out her palm to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan immediately shook hands with her.

Bai Xuan has a lot of things, and it is impossible to accompany Xia Yan to drink coffee here all the time, so she left soon.

As for Xia Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It can only be said that the name of the first place in the selection of the new god ascending is easy to use.

There are historical achievements, and it is natural to talk about these things.

Otherwise, if Xia Yan was a pure rookie writer, Bai Xuan would not talk to him at all.

You say you're talented and have potential? Then come back to me when you're famous.

Xia Yan was sitting on a chair drinking coffee, but after a while, a young girl suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Senior sister?" When Xia Yan saw this girl who worked part-time in a café, she was stunned and blurted out a sentence.

"Senior sister?" The girl looked at Xia Yan suspiciously.

"You're also a student at Modu University?"

"No, I just want to apply to Modu University." Xia Yan was a little embarrassed.

"So sure you can get on? The score line hasn't come out yet, has it? The girl looked at Xia Yan curiously.

"After checking the college entrance examination answers online, I feel that I should be sure of nine out of ten." Xia Yan said.

After all, he only needs 440 points to get in, as long as the subject composition of the uncertainty of Chinese is not deducted big points, Xia Yan no matter how he calculates his score is above 440.

"Senior sister, are you looking for me, is there something wrong?" Xia Yan asked.

"Pretty much. I'm a part-time cartoonist, and I'm also a fan of yours. I've been following you for a long time, and I happened to meet you today, so I wanted to come over and sign your name. The girl said calmly.
