Familiar boxes.

Familiar location.

Zhang Sheng took a sip of water and looked at Yang Chen quietly.

A warm sun shone on Zhang Sheng's body, and Zhang Sheng felt very comfortable.

In August of last year.

Zhang Sheng, who was destitute, logged on to [Qiming Chinese Network], and when he typed the first word, all he wanted was to have an extra income.

It doesn't matter if it's dozens, hundreds, thousands......

The counterattack at the bottom, especially after the debt, is many times more difficult than the rich second-generation entrepreneur.

In fact, it turns out that reality is far more difficult than imagined.

He imitated the beginning of the original world "Breaking the Sky", and just wanted to follow the trend and eat a wave of dividends.

But......

happened to encounter the plagiarism storm of "The Change of the Sky".

Then, 30,000 words, 50,000 words, 100,000 words......

He can't sign a contract!

How many days and nights have I been typing on the keyboard, looking at groups of data in a daze.

It's not despair, it's just that I think it's stupid to write this way.

However, the contradictory nature of his body has always made him stupidly insist.

pondered the plot over and over again, honed his writing over and over again, and wrote out unique group portraits over and over again.

If he wanted to, he could have taken a lot of shortcuts, and he had at least hundreds of ways in his mind to make "Breaking the Sky" popular......

But!

He didn't take any shortcuts, and became a particularly stupid fool, like a fool who moved mountains!

Persistence and sweat can be transformed after all!

In the last week, he burst onto the new book list!

Afterward......

Signing a contract as a matter of course.

Afterward!

Finally on the shelves!

Later, I got the first manuscript fee!

Later, the manuscript fee increased.

……

Zhang Sheng was not surprised.

In reality......

His career, which has been laid for a long time, finally ushered in spring.

He is still in debt, but he is no longer in debt, and he has passed the bitter cold winter, endured rounds of slaughter, and finally walked out of the ice and snow and shone in the sun.

"It's hard to believe it's you ......"

"There's a lot of incredible stuff in this world."

Under the warm sun.

Zhang Sheng smiled happily.

Yang Chen's expression on the opposite side went from shock to disbelief, and then gradually became complicated.

When she met Zhang Sheng, it was during the book signing of "Midsummer That Year" last year.

On that day, this young man wearing black-rimmed glasses caused a huge sensation on the whole scene, and at the same time, it also made Lin Xia a well-known "goddess of literature" on the Internet.

The story of last year is vivid......

Later, Yang Chen also heard a lot of stories about Zhang Sheng.

He owes millions in debt, struggles in an almost hellish abyss, and tastes the ups and downs of the world......

He counterattacked in desperation and finally earned his first pot of gold......

Until now!

A few days ago she heard that he was about to pay off his debts!

An inspirational and astounding miracle!

Isn't it?

"Mr. Zhang, on behalf of [Daystar Publishing House], I officially send you an application for a publishing contract...... After a short period of shock, Yang Chen showed a serious and serious expression on his face, and took out the contract to stare at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng took the contract and looked at it for a while: "The physical publishing industry is very sluggish, right?" ”

"Last year, the sales of "Midsummer That Year" exceeded 80,000, and it is still based on the adaptation of the movie, which is already the pinnacle of the entire industry...... Traditional slow-paced publications naturally can't satisfy readers' hearts, so try to do online publishing......" Yang Chen smiled bitterly.

10 years.

The prosperity of the Internet industry will inevitably make many industries gradually enter the sunset industry.

"Can the Internet Save the Publishing Industry?" Zhang Sheng nodded after listening and asked again.

"At least another income...... Although it is the afterglow of the sunset, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will still be able to hold on in the next five years! Yang Chen has a very thorough understanding of the entire publishing industry, and although it is declining, she has always been sure that this industry will not die so quickly.

Of course......

Transformation!

Figuring out a way for the future is what she's doing.

There was silence in the box.

Lin Xia looked at Zhang Sheng.

She suddenly thought of last year, that day, Zhang Sheng suddenly ran in front of her, with a hurried and serious expression.

"I will be the noble person who will change your life!"

"Give me a minute, no, give me thirty seconds!"

"Don't look at me dressed like this, in fact, I'm a writer, I'm experiencing ...... life"

His hair was unkempt, he was dirty, he was covered in stinking sweat, and he was talking nonsense that was confusing and out of tune.

Lin Xia at that moment naturally didn't believe it.

But!

In retrospect, it turns out that he never lied to himself, he was indeed a writer.

The music in the box is getting more and more pleasant.

Lin Xia just looked at Zhang Sheng quietly.

What Zhang Sheng and Yang Chen were talking about, she didn't know at all.

She only knew that at this moment, Zhang Sheng, sitting by the window and being illuminated by the warm sun, was particularly charming.

As if nothing in this world matters!

…………………………

The publishing contract went well.

The contract given by Daystar Publishing House is very sincere.

After signing, Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Chen who was packing his things.

"Have you ever considered changing careers?"

"Mr. Zhang said with a smile, I have been in the publishing industry for nearly ten years, where can I transfer if I change careers?"

"This is an era of vigorous development of entertainment, whether it is movies, TV series, comics...... If you think about it carefully, you will find an obvious industrial chain, and IP is a vital part of the industrial chain. ”

“……”

Zhang Sheng's words made Yang Chen fall into deep thought.

After a long time, she sighed: "I'm just an editor, and I don't have any capital to participate in this industrial chain at all......"

"You don't need to take out any capital to gamble, I have an entertainment company, there are two directors in the entertainment company, and it will involve movies and TV series in the future, if it is well run, it will extend outward, Sister Yang, you can come to my company as a part-time job, be a literary consultant, if there is a suitable one, or you think it is suitable, comics, you can recommend it to me......"

"I, [Daystar Press], still have a position, and I can't resign ......"

"You don't need to resign......"

“……”

After Yang Chen listened to Zhang Sheng's words, he did not agree.

Just lost in thought.

Zhang Sheng was not in a hurry, just waited patiently.

The box began to be quiet, but this silence did not last long, and Yang Chen's mobile phone rang.

Yang Chen took the phone.

"You've got in touch with Evernight?"

"Connected!"

"Okay, can you give me his contact information?" We want to talk to him about ......."

"I'm sorry, I am the author of [Qiming Chinese Network], and my phone number is also asked for [Qiming Chinese Network], and I may not be willing to ......"

"How much money does "Dry Break the Sky" make in total in [Qiming Chinese Network]? Although his share with [Qiming Chinese Network] is said to be 55, but in fact there is no 5, and he still has to deduct taxes! ”

"This ......"

"Sister Yang Chen, let me tell you again, let's talk to Buye, Buye will definitely be willing! We are now cooperating with the [Mobile Reading] base, you know the [Mobile Reading] base, right? Those authors at the top are all people with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands, twenty thousands, [Qiming Chinese Network] just a mobile phone to read the web, how much money can it earn? ”

“……”

When Yang Chen answered the phone, he didn't avoid it, but glanced at Zhang Sheng, and finally turned on the speakerphone.

Zhang Sheng listened quietly.

The other party seems to be the editor of [18K Chinese Network].

He is going through Yang Chen, wanting to get Zhang Sheng's number, and talk to Zhang Sheng about signing a follow-up work or buying it out.

Zhang Sheng listened carefully, and after listening, he was a little surprised.

Unknowingly, I have become the sweetheart of some websites to pull the author?

No wonder......

The editor Qilin will repeatedly confirm whether he is a eunuch in "Breaking the Sky", and then change jobs......

After Yang Chen answered the phone, he looked at Zhang Sheng: "Actually, not only [18K] called me recently, but [Sodu Chinese.com] also sent me Q Dog and asked about me...... You, how do you think about it? ”

Zhang Sheng looked at Yang Chen.

Didn't speak.

Just looked out the window at the hustle and bustle.

……………………………………

Web article in 2010.

It's booming.

Web reading is still strong, mobile phone reading relies on 3G, and it is sharpening its knives into subway stations, streets, and classrooms.

The contact rate of digital reading methods was 32.8%, an increase of 8.2 percentage points from 24.6% in 2009, an increase of 33.3%, accounting for the first growth rate of national reading.

The increasingly vigorous online literature market has naturally made capital see the huge potential in this cake......

At the beginning of 10 years, 18K Reading Network was officially acquired by the Digital Reading Group under the Huaxia capital giant [Hongtian Capital......

The first batch of 1.5 billion funds were injected, and the famous writers who dug up major websites all over the world set off stormy waves for the entire industry!

And the "Breaking the Firmament", which was born out of nowhere, attracted many fans with its gradually improving plot and writing, and when [Qiming Chinese Network] first opened its mobile reading website, it was second only to the ace work "The Change of the Sky" of [Qiming Chinese Network] with an amazing retention rate and payment rate......

The author "never sleeps" naturally appears in the eyes of editors of major websites.

【18K Chinese Net】Website Building.

The editor Coke is frantically calling and inviting the "Internet gods" who are in the limelight.

The network is full of dragons, just like the heroes of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, everyone wants to become the "overlord" overlooking the world in this big era.

And the injection of capital is destined to tilt some of the scales in favor of the other side.

After the phone call.

Cola stared at the updated "Dry Firmament".

This book, the early writing is very immature, vaguely in the style of "The Change of the Sky", but after more than 100,000 words!

It has taken a new path!

He is one of the readers of this book!
