"Lao Su, have you eaten?"

"After eating, I deliberately ran to the central square, which also bothered Xiaofang."

"Heh, that must be watching Asia's show. In recent years, Asia has also won glory for our Central Plains, and many people come to the business capital to go out to see the queue performance every morning. ”

"Not really."

"Su Hang, what about you, you weren't at home last night, did you sleep well?"

"It's okay, Mr. Tan."

"He read until twelve o'clock in the morning, got up again at five o'clock, said he was inspired, and wrote many pages in a while, and I didn't understand what so many things were in his head."

"It's a good thing for young people to work hard, but you still have to pay attention to your body."

Boyi Headquarters.

It's Tuesday, August 15th.

Su Hang and his father Su Quanquan rushed over accompanied by Fang Wei, and Tan Fengzhen, the editor-in-chief of "Qingxu", was already waiting in the hall.

Everyone exchanged a few words and went to the fifth floor together.

When I came to Zhong Changlin's office, I happened to meet Zhong Changlin to send someone out, it was a man in his thirties with a thin face, compared to Tan Fengzhen's meticulousness, the man looked a little unkempt, his slightly long thick hair was very messy, and the cuffs of his white shirt were pulled up at will.

Seeing that it was Su Hang who was coming, Zhong Changlin took the initiative to help introduce: "It's just right, Su Hang, come, this is the editor-in-chief of our Boyi's "Shanghai Sea", Shang Jun." Xiaoshang, this is Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

Zhong Changlin said, Shang Jun had already stepped forward, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Shenshang, I have read your article, it is very powerful." ”

Su Hang held the other party's hand: "Hello." ”

Shang Jun didn't let go of Su Hang immediately, looked at the young man, and said: "The 'youth literature' market and the 'media group' territory you described are very attractive, as the 'fuse' in it, I hope you have enough detonation ability." ”

Su Hang felt the smell of gunpowder in the words of the man in front of him, and although he didn't know why, he still said: "Actually, I have also watched the latest issue of "Shanghai Sea". ”

Shang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Tell me?" ”

"If you want to imitate the 'popular literature' routines of martial arts and romance that are highly accepted by the general population, and do a kind of 'popular economy', the idea is very good, but I have to say that the scale is difficult to grasp, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may become completely vulgar and become a gossip magazine full of hearsay."

"Popular economy," Shang Jun grabbed a word and shook his head slightly: "I didn't expect this, but your definition is very good, I will think about it, as for the problem of possible popularity, thank you for the reminder, I will also pay attention." ”

Shang Jun said, and finally let go of Su Hang's hand.

Su Hang was a little surprised.

The man in front of him must have a reason for targeting himself. Su Hang didn't know the reason, but he didn't mean to show weakness. However, when he thought that he would have to say a few more words, he didn't expect that the other party would rein in in a blink of an eye.

Shang Jun saw Su Hang's thoughts, smiled, and calmly took the initiative to explain: "You robbed some of the resources that should belong to me, but since you are really good, we will each rely on our abilities in the future." ”

Su Hang didn't know that Zhong Changlin originally planned to do his best to support "Shanghai Sea", but at this time he also said: "Okay." ”

When the two said this, Zhong Changlin finally interjected: "Haha, you young people, you should be like this, you have sharpness and compete for the top, but you should also have harmony and fight for gentlemen." ”

Su Hang and Shang Jun all agreed.

Shang Jun looked at Su Hang again: "My office is on the third floor, you can come and sit when you have time, and talk about your thoughts on the 'popular economy'." ”

"Okay."

After saying this, Shang Jun nodded to the other people, did not stop any longer, and left quickly.

"It's all over the place," Zhong Changlin looked at Shang Jun's departing figure, said with a smile, and then turned to Su Hang and a few people: "Come, come in and talk." ”

In Zhong Changlin's office, everyone sat around the sofa in the reception area.

According to the results of yesterday's negotiations with Suzhou and Hangzhou, the contract was drawn up yesterday afternoon.

Su Hang read it carefully twice, and the various terms were simple and clear, with no word games and no inexplicable temporary additions. Obviously, although Zhong Changlin was careful during the negotiation, since he agreed, he did not regret it.

The only thing that makes Su and Hangzhou not very satisfied is the settlement.

According to the agreement, starting from the date of the book's release, Boyi will settle the royalties every six months, instead of the quarterly settlement as envisaged by Suzhou and Hangzhou, or shorter.

This is also a bit of a compromise between Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In any case, Zhong Changlin listed everything that should be listed, and if he didn't play any tricks, Su Hang decisively signed his name.

Su Quanquan, as the guardian, also signed along.

The two sides made a contract in duplicate and put it away separately, Zhong Changlin took a briefcase from the side, and in front of everyone, he slowly took out 10 bundles of 100 yuan bills, laid them all out, and pushed them to the opposite father and son with a smile: "Come, Su Hang, order a little, you want an advance." ”

Zhong Changlin's style is like Chow Yun-fat who is stud on the gambling table, and the other Tan Fengzhen, Li Qing, and Fang Wei, looking at the pile of money on the coffee table, all showed a very 'supporting role' expression, and even Su Quanquan was no exception.

That's 100,000 yuan.

At present, many people's wages are only 100,000 yuan in two or three hundred years.

Looking at the pile of banknotes on the coffee table in front of him, Zhong Changlin's secretary Li Qing immediately remembered one thing that he had been thinking about for the past two years.

Li Qing wants to make a nest in the business capital.

Recently, one of them happens to be in the south of the central park from the Boyi headquarters of the newly opened community, called 'Green Community', the propaganda is the first high-standard green community in Shangdu, the house price is 1,100 yuan per square meter, which is twice as expensive as those ordinary communities of five or six hundred and one square meters.

Li Qing was quite moved, with her income, but she could only look at it.

At the moment, I couldn't help but think that if I had this 100,000, it would be enough to win a set of 90 square meters of two bedrooms and one living room that she fancied.

Or the full amount.

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but glance at Zhong Changlin lightly.

The gaze is slightly complicated.

Fang Wei looked at the pile of banknotes on the coffee table and thought of yesterday again.

A certain teenager obviously got such a large sum of money, but he still looked so indifferent, if it wasn't for Zhang Xiaoxiao in the same dormitory to mention it, Fang Wei was afraid that she would not know until now.

That's 100,000.

I want to earn 30 years for myself!

Tan Fengzhen has never felt that he doesn't say that he treats money like dung, and if he really touches it, he can deal with it indifferently.

However, the moment came ......

I really can't be indifferent.

Swallowing his saliva quietly, Tan Fengzhen said again in his heart, I hope this money will not be spent in vain, and "Qingxu" must be made.

Because I was worried that yesterday was just a dream, I got up today until now, Su Quanquan remembered it, but he never asked his son.

Now it's finally confirmed.

Yesterday......

Didn't dream!

The words of his son after he was drunk were true, and there were really 100,000 yuan.

How should this be spent?

Oh.

By the way, save it for my son's college use, and I will go abroad in the future!

Everyone else entered the state of 'supporting role', and they were all excited, but Su Hang did not let Zhong Changlin get his wish.

Slowly and methodically pushing the other party over and restacking the slightly scattered pile of money, Su Hang turned to his father: "Dad, Uncle Zhong and I continue to talk about business, you go and save the money." Also, can you please take Sister Li to accompany me, my dad is not very familiar with this side of the road. ”

Finally, he looked at Zhong Changlin.

Saying that you are not familiar with the road, in fact, it is impossible to count money on the spot, and it is not very good-looking.

Just let the bank point it.

If you call a Bo Yi person to accompany you, you can say it clearly.

Su Hang didn't care about a few more or a few less.

Mother's monthly salary is only 120 yuan, even if there is one less, it is equivalent to her mother working for a month for nothing.

That's not going to work.

The son spoke, and Su Quanquan, who saw so much money for the first time, finally came back to his senses, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay." ”

Li Qing looked at her boss.

Zhong Changlin found that the young man opposite was not caught by this stack of cash, he was slightly disappointed, but then quite satisfied, and agreed: "Xiao Li, then you can accompany Lao Su to the bank." ”

After the two of them left with the money, Zhong Changlin turned to the young man: "Su Hang, then, let's talk about the specific execution, you ...... now Regardless of whether it has been published or not, how many articles do you have in your hand, and how many words are there? ”

"If you don't count the half of this morning, there are already 23 articles," Su Hang quickly recalled and sorted it out, and said: "The total number of words should be about 160,000 words." ”

"That's 40,000 words left," Zhong Changlin nodded: "There are still more than two weeks until September, so I must be able to finish writing, right?" ”

"Yes."

If it is soaring, it is no problem for Su Hang to write 10,000 or 20,000 words a day, and the difference of 40,000 yuan can be done in two or three days.

However, it is still necessary to pay attention to quality.

Zhong Changlin was very satisfied, and continued: "I thought about it yesterday, and the first thing you have to do next, is to retract the manuscript first. ”

Su Hang was puzzled: "Retract? ”

"If you are sure that the manuscript published is enough for us to package and hype," Zhong Changlin said: "Those who are still unsure, contact the newspapers and magazines sent to them one by one, and take the initiative to withdraw the submission, or, if they can confirm that it will be published next month, and they don't mind that we will publish it at the same time, it is no problem to continue to publish." ”

Su Hang understood and said: "I had a similar idea before I came to Shangdu, and I plan to send other manuscripts except for the manuscript, and use them directly for the book." I didn't expect that I could retract the manuscript. ”

"It's definitely okay for the article to be published with your affection and my wishes," Zhong Changlin said with a smile: "Then, one more thing, since we have signed a closer cooperation agreement, according to what I heard from Lao Tan and them, the columns and long articles on "Qingxu", you must have no problem here, right?" ”

Su Hang said: "The column is no problem, but it will take time for the long one." ”

Zhong Changlin once again remembered the increase in the sales of "Qingxu" by "Lin Qing and Xu Bai", and glanced at Tan Fengzhen: "Or, next month, send two short stories?" ”

"The page is open," Tan Fengzhen said, "That's it...... Su Hang, the level of "Lin Qing and Xu Bai", I believe you yourself are also very clear, if you have two articles at a time, do you have the confidence to come up with works of the same quality? ”

"Lu You has a sentence 'The article is made by nature, and the clever hand is even obtained', I think it is very appropriate to describe the writing," Su Hang said: "So, this is really not guaranteed, Mr. Tan, good articles often need a flash of inspiration, and I don't know when I can catch it." ”

When Su Hang said this, Zhong Changlin, Tan Fengzhen and Fang Wei were disappointed, but they also had to nod their heads.

Su Hang said: "However, we can find another way. ”

Zhong Changlin asked, "What's the other way?" ”

"It's a literal 'new way'," Su Hang said with a smile: "It's not easy to make people shine in the same genre, but if you change the genre, it will definitely be a sight to behold." ”

Of course, if you change it again, you still have to position it as 'youth literature'. However, for example, cruel youth and campus youth are definitely different.

The two middle-aged people were still pondering, and Fang Wei mustered up the courage to interject: "Just like "Lin Qing and Xu Bai" and "The Troubles of Young Liu Wei"? ”

Su Hang nodded: "Yes." ”

The two middle-aged people had read these two articles in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so they were stunned.

Zhong Changlin said: "Tell me specifically? ”

"Uncle Zhong, this is also what I just thought of, a clever hand," Su Hang said with a smile: "Specifically...... Not yet. ”

"You kid," Zhong Changlin scolded with a smile, but nodded: "That's it, find another way, settle your mind first, anyway, you still have half a month, don't let us down." ”

Seeing that this topic was over, Fang Wei hesitated and raised her hand slightly.

Zhong Changlin looked over: "Xiao Fang, if you have something to say?" ”

"President, I have an idea," Fang Wei said, "I think that if we publish the articles that have been published in Suzhou and Hangzhou directly, it will inevitably make readers feel repetitive and lack new ideas." So, like some short stories in the circle that expand into long stories. Although the plan is still a collection of short stories, I think that Suzhou and Hangzhou can expand some of these articles to enrich the details and use them as a key point of publicity in the future. ”

"Okay, this is good," Zhong Changlin couldn't help but pat the armrest of the sofa after hearing Fang Wei's words, and then looked at the young man opposite: "Su Hang, what do you think?" ”

"Some of these chapters are really written in a hurry, and there is still a lot of room to play, so it's no problem to expand them," Su Hang said: "However, it must not be possible to expand them all, so it is too deliberate." ”

Tan Fengzhen agreed on the side: "It's this reason." ”

Zhong Changlin also began to think carefully: "You already have 23 articles, a total of 160,000 words, and a little expansion may be 200,000 words, plus other new articles, you can carefully pick them, anyway, it still can't exceed 200,000 words." It's not that I don't want to take advantage of you, people are impatient now, and I don't like to watch it if it's too long. In short, this can give you more choices, and you can choose the best of the best. ”

Seeing that her opinion was adopted, Fang Wei said again: "I think that "Lin Qing and Xu Bai", such a main article can be focused on expanding, there are too many unfinished places. ”

When Zhong Changlin and Tan Fengzhen heard this, they both looked at Su Hang.

Su Hang shook his head this time: "The highlight of "Lin Qing and Xu Bai" is mainly in the reversal at the end, plus the structure itself is clever and compact enough, and forcibly expanding, but it adds to the snake. ”

Hearing this, Fang Wei glanced at someone resentfully.

In order to avoid being marginalized, Fang Wei was thinking about these very hard in private, a certain guy was so faceless.

Su Hang said this, and Tan Fengzhen also nodded.

Zhong Changlin said: "In this way, Su Hang, you put a little effort into it, try to write, if it's not good, we don't need it." ”

Compared with the literariness that Su Hang and Tan Fengzhen focus on, Zhong Changlin still attaches more importance to the commerciality of "Lin Qing and Xu Bai", a novel can increase the sales of a magazine by thousands, how can you not try your best to squeeze it.

Expanding, what a gimmick.

"Uncle Zhong, then I'll think about it," Su Hang didn't plan to bother anymore, but he no longer refused, so as not to waste more time by talking, and asked instead: "In addition, the specific schedule for us to publish the book, Uncle Zhong, do you have any ideas?" ”

Zhong Changlin nodded and pointed to an inconspicuous desk calendar on the coffee table: "When I came in the morning, I marked it casually." ”

The three of them looked at it together.

The erected mini-desk calendar flipped to September, and one of the days was marked with a striking circle.

It was September 16th.

Zhong Changlin said: "On September 16, the various articles you published for two consecutive months should have spread. Our packaging hype, starting from the beginning of September, can also achieve good results in half a month, and finally, plus the editing, review, printing, and distribution of books...... By the way, on the 16th, it was still a Saturday, and it was perfect as the release date for the official launch. ”

Su Hang thought about it and understood that he would definitely give all the manuscripts before September, so he nodded.

Zhong Changlin continued: "Then, let's talk about propaganda. ”

Zhong Changlin mentioned this, and Su Hang took the initiative to answer: "Uncle Zhong, that's the case, I don't want my private life to be affected too much, so in the process of publicity, can you try to ignore my real name, and there is too specific personal information, focusing on the use of the pen name 'Shenshang'?" ”

"That's no problem," Zhong Changlin said, adding: "However, if there is an opportunity for an interview, such as being on TV, I am already thinking about how to help you get in touch, and when the time comes, you can't tell me that you don't want to show your face." ”

has already obtained the advance payment that many people can only earn in 30 years in this era, Su Hang understands that some prices are necessary, and nods: "It's no problem." ”

Actually, I thought about it.

Mainly, there is no ...... in this era Well, it can't be said that there is none, but the Internet is extremely underdeveloped.

Therefore, it doesn't matter much if you only occasionally show your face on TV or in the newspaper, and you won't be frozen by the Internet for a long time, and you can search for it by tapping on the keyboard.

As for the future......

Ten or twenty years later, when the time comes.

Then there are more detailed discussions on various publicity and hype, I have seen a lot in my previous life, and Suzhou and Hangzhou can be said to have a lot of inspiration.

For example, the 100,000 yuan advance payment that has been obtained, such as the labels listed by Suzhou and Hangzhou before, such as 16-year-old, Xueba, calligraphy, etc., and for example, you can send books to foreign exhibitions, and come back and sell them to publishing houses in dozens of countries.

And so on.

Of course, at the end of the day, it's just four words: 'create a gimmick'.

Faced with Su Hang's series of whimsical ideas, Zhong Changlin was surprised at first, and then felt that he couldn't keep up, just when Li Qing and Su Quanquan came back, they hurriedly instructed their secretary to make meeting minutes and write down some of the key points that the young man said.

Talking like this, it was noon in the blink of an eye.

Zhong Changlin didn't pull Su Quanquan to have a banquet and pour wine, but had a simple meal in the staff canteen of Boyi, and then returned to the office to continue the discussion.

When the day ended, Zhong Changlin, who was obviously still unsatisfied, also proposed that Boyi could charter the suite of Chengjiang Hotel, and Suzhou and Hangzhou would not go back, and for the rest of the summer vacation, he would simply live in Shangdu, so that he could communicate with this side at any time.

Su Hang did not agree.

Mainly, on the side of Shangdu, Suzhou and Hangzhou are also planning another thing.
