After asking, I learned that Wang Shuo's "Stewardess" was still submitted to the contemporary editorial department.

The good news is that his draft has been approved in principle, and the bad news is that there are a lot of things that need to be changed.

Wang Shuo has been going to the contemporary editorial department a lot recently, all to revise the manuscript.

When he knew that Jiang Yulou had never changed the draft, he cried even more envy.

Soon, like Wei Guoping, he turned his grief into appetite and ate a lot.

Jiang Yulou looked at his body shape and thought about it, it seems that it is not for nothing that he will become that round body in the future.

In the evening, Jiang's house.

At this time, the ending song of "Shanghai Tang" was playing on the TV, and Jiang Yulou leaned on the recliner and read the newspapers of recent days.

Jiang Jianguo and Li Xiulian watched it very attentively.

Since the old couple moved to Yanjing, it's not that they haven't watched a TV series. But this is the first time they have watched such a wonderful TV series as "Shanghai Tang". As a result, when I saw it, I was fascinated.

From the morning to the present, in addition to shopping for groceries and cooking, eating and cleaning, the old couple has spent all the remaining time watching this drama.

"Shanghai Tang" began to be broadcast in March this year, with a total of 25 episodes, and after the show was broadcast, it produced a great sensation, not only setting a very high ratings, but also affecting the creation of Chinese film and television dramas later, bringing out a wave of shooting Republic of China dramas with the old Shanghai gang fighting in the early Republic of China as the background.

According to Jiang Yulou's vision from later generations, this TV series seems a little simple and crude in terms of scenes, but because of the wonderful performances of actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Zhao Yazhi and Lu Liangwei, as well as the wonderful scripts that provide space for the actors' performances, and because of the reverberating theme song sung by Ye Liyi, all this makes "Shanghai Tang" a model of winning with plot and performance.

Not to mention 80 years, when it premiered in China in 85, it still set off a ratings frenzy. Obviously, for domestic audiences, TVB's "Shanghai Tang" is a very classic big-budget TV series.

To say that in this drama, the most popular ones are Fa Ge and Zhao Yazhi.

Fa Ge's suit and hat and white scarf look very similar to the heroes on the beach, and Zhao Yazhi's Feng Chengcheng made Jiang's father and Li Xiulian love to death.

Even after the eldest brother Jiang Yuanchao came back, he just watched it from the sixth episode and fell in love with this drama.

Taking advantage of the end of this episode, Jiang Yuanchao looked unsatisfied, and said to his younger brother beside him: "Brother, this TV series is so good-looking, are all Xiangjiang's TV series at this level?" ”

"No, there are a lot of shoddy TV dramas in Xiangjiang, but the broadcast system over there is different, it belongs to broadcasting while producing, and if the ratings are not good, it will be cut." Jiang Yu said.

This TV series tape was also purchased during his trip to TVB, and the price was a little expensive, but it was also acceptable.

Jiang Yuanchao said enviously: "Yes, but there are so many good-looking TV series, the people of Xiangjiang are really happy." ”

No, big brother, is your definition of happiness too loose?

Is it considered happiness to watch a TV series?

Jiang Yulou silently complained in his heart.

The next day, Jiang Yulou sorted out the manuscript of "Secret Calculation" and mailed it to Xiangjiang's "Ming Pao". This is the cooperation that Xiangjiang Bank has negotiated, and he has always remembered this matter, and he will think about doing it as soon as he has time after he comes back.

He did everything he had to do, and then it depends on the popularity of "Secret Calculation" on "Ming Pao". If there are many fans, there is also the possibility of a single book.

His contract with Ming Pao does not involve the copyright of a single book, which means that if it can be successfully published, he can still make a profit.

Moreover, it's not a small amount of money. You must know that the Hong Kong publishing industry implements a royalty system.

He remembered that Ni Kuang's novels generally sold 30,000 or 40,000 copies, and the royalties were also 20 percent, and he could earn 10 yuan if a book was priced at 50 yuan. Three or four hundred thousand is really earned casually, don't be too easy.

Of course, with his fame in Xiangjiang, he would definitely not get 20% of the royalties at the beginning, but he was not greedy, and 10% was not a small amount of money at the beginning.

……

Time flies, and a week later, Jiang Yulou received a piece of good news, and the source of the news was Meng Weizai.

The sales of the second issue of "Contemporary" in '80 were very high, surpassing the first issue and reaching a new high. The club recognized the contribution of "Love Letter" in it, and decided to sign a contract with Jiang Yulou in advance to release a single book of the novel.

In other words, Jiang Yulou's second single novel will soon meet with domestic audiences.

Meng Weiya invited him to go to the editorial department to sign the contract, and by the way, discuss the matter of the single book.

"Editor Xia, good morning, I'm here again~" Jiang Yulou said hello to the familiar female editor in the building of the contemporary editorial department.

"Good morning, Mr. Jiang, you are here to find Editor Meng, please come with me!"

Because it was a contract, Meng Weiya had already made an appointment with Jiang Yulou, and the people in the editorial department also knew about it. Jiang Yulou came at this time, and naturally someone would bring him directly to the office.

"Mr. Jiang, congratulations on releasing another single novel, it's amazing!" Editor Xia sighed while pouring tea for Jiang Yulou, "Although I am a rookie editor, I have seen a lot of writers, and it is really rare to be as good as you." ”

Jiang Yulou said modestly every day: "Where, there are many excellent writers in China, and I am just the most ordinary one among them." ”

"Teacher Jiang is too modest. "Love Letter" is really a very good work, and my friends and I cried after reading it. When it comes to this work, Editor Xia is still a little unsatisfied, and said with a longing face: "When the single book is printed, I must grab a copy!" ”

"Hahaha, then thank you Editor Xia for your support. I'll sign it for you then. ”

"Thank you so much!"

Jiang Yulou smiled and was about to continue chatting, when Meng Weiya had already come over, still carrying some contract documents in his hand.

"Yulou, you're here." Meng Weizai said in a hurry, "The documents and materials have all been written, please take a look." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look."

After all, when it comes to signing a contract, you still have to take a closer look, but there is nothing wrong with the standard contract, the basic remuneration, the number of copies printed, and the number of copies printed for the first time, and the rest can be read hastily.

"Editor Meng, there's no problem." While speaking, Jiang Yulou signed his name.

Meng Weiya put away the contract and asked Editor Xia to send it to the director's office for sealing.

"Teacher Jiang, please wait a while, and send it over with a stamp immediately. By the way, do you have any suggestions for the cover of the novel? ”
