Chapter Eighty-Nine: Treating Money Like Dung
When You Rong finished watching "The Death of a Little Civil Servant", he still thought in his heart that when the author announced it, he must dig up the other party, and the other party's pen power is too strong.
As a result, he didn't expect that this person turned out to be Chu Mad snatched from under his nose by the tribe!
For this result, You Rongqi's eyes widened, and he felt like he had been stolen.
But after all, he is the editor-in-chief of "Fun Reading", and he quickly controlled his emotions: "I must snatch people back." ”
You Rong was secretly ruthless in his heart.
Chu Mad has been recognized in the field of short stories, and the other party is no longer a newcomer who has just gotten a glimpse of the door, but a rising upstart in the entire field of short stories, a genius writer who has begun to show his edge!
And such a genius writer is not just what You Rong wants.
The major publishers in Qinzhou are also ready to move.
Because the competition in this industry has always been so fierce and cruel, a genius writer like Chu Mad can easily arouse the interest of all parties.
But......
These publishers should not have the contact information of Chu Mad at present.
The tribe was able to find Chu Mad purely to take advantage of the platform, you must know that the tribal account itself is associated with the mobile phone number, and the tribal literature only needs to follow the phone number left by Chu Mad to call it.
You Rong believed that as long as tribal literature was not stupid, it would not reveal Chu Yan's information.
And the Yinlan Library, too, will keep Chu Yan's information confidential.
It's a pity that paper can't contain fire.
The mutual penetration between industries is strong, and there are many channels for information inquiry, and some relatively large publishers in the industry will be able to find Chu Mad sooner or later.
So in this matter, I can only hold the idea of how long it can be delayed.
However, judging from the current situation, the only thing that can compete with the Silver Blue Book Library is probably tribal literature.
This made You Rong feel a little comforted.
And at this time.
Also in the Silver Blue Library.
In the youth fantasy department, Chu Mad is also being discussed.
The youth fantasy fiction department doesn't do short stories here, it's the job of the magazine department next door, "Fun Reading".
But after all, Chu Mad is one of the best-selling authors in the youth fantasy department of Yinlan Library, and the editors in the department will naturally pay attention to his movements.
Therefore, Chu Mad had just won the first prize in the short story of tribal literature, which immediately sparked a large-scale discussion within the department.
"I didn't expect Chu to be so good at writing short stories!"
"I'm good at both short stories and young adult fantasy novels, and this creative talent is too good, right?"
"It's no wonder that the short story field is competing with us, in terms of Chu Mad's level of short story creation, it is indeed worth grabbing. ”
"I heard that even our editor-in-chief is full of praise for Chu Yan's short stories. ”
“......”
In the middle of the discussion, an editor suddenly worried: "Will Chu Mad concentrate on the development of the field of short stories in the future, and stop writing fantasy themes?"
This worry is not unnecessary.
Chu Mad is one of the best-selling authors of the Youth Fantasy Department, and this kind of author is very precious to the entire Fantasy Department.
"Not really. ”
An editor shook his head uncertainly and said: "A few short stories are only a few words, how can a short story writer make money by writing youth fantasy novels?"
"Make money?"
Yang Feng, the editor in charge of Chu Mad suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Do you think Chu Mad cares about money?"
“......”
After Yang Feng said this, the entire fantasy department was silent, obviously everyone acquiesced to Yang Feng's words.
Yes.
Chu Mad doesn't like money.
He has no interest in money.
This is a fact that the entire fantasy department unanimously admits, if Chu Mad really likes money, he will not easily finish "The King of the Net".
Because even a fool knows that for a best-selling novel, the longer you write, the more you will pay!
Once this kind of novel is finished, the manuscript fee will fall off a cliff within a few months!
But two weeks ago.
The May manuscript of "The King of the Net" sent by Chu Madness ended the novel cleanly.
Yes.
Tomorrow is May 1st, and "King of the Net" will be officially released and finalized, and the relevant departments have even played out the slogan-
Chu Mad really didn't write a word!
In the whole "King of the Net", he almost strictly followed the initial outline he provided, and finished this very best-selling novel with a mere million words!
So decisive that even the editors in the department felt distressed, and they couldn't wait to continue writing for Chu Mad!
You know, with the current sales momentum of this novel, every word written down is a lot of money!
Say something nasty.
But if Chu Mad is willing to continue to write "The King of the Net", even if he is crazy about watering, resulting in a serious decline in the follow-up quality of the work, there will definitely be many readers who will buy it, because many readers have formed an inertia to read.
Unless he feeds in the book, the reader will not abandon the book easily, at most he will scold the author and greet the author, and then hesitantly continue to pay.
This is the experience of the editors who have worked for many years.
I believe that Chu Mad himself must understand this.
But Chu Mad is so willful, knowing that his works can still make money, he still finished the book without hesitation.
How can such a person like money?
Long.
An editor in the department sighed: "This is Chu Mad's literati style, not for the purpose of making money, such a writer is actually very respectable." ”
"Yes. ”
"In the era of literary commercialization, the original intention of authors is certainly based on dreams, but if their novels don't make money, how many people are willing to generate electricity for love?"
"I haven't met a novelist like this in years. ”
"The vast majority of writers are not willing to finish a very profitable novel, even if they run out of outline, they will definitely try their best to expand their story, in contrast, there are too few authors like Chu Mad who decisively finish a bestseller. ”
“......”
Yang Feng sighed.
Why didn't he appreciate Chu Madness.
When most writers choose to create the royal theme of otherworldly adventure, Chu Mad chose the unpopular theme of sports competition without hesitation, and this pioneering spirit alone has already made Yang Feng very impressed.
Admirable to be admired.
At the same time, Yang Feng also had a headache.
Because Chu Mad finished "The King of the Net", it was a big loss for Yinlan Library.
Otherwise, the previous editor-in-chief would not have specially instructed Chu Madness to expand the outline as much as possible and write the story longer......
However, Chu Mad did not listen to persuasion.
Yang Feng couldn't help but recall what happened when he first dealt with Chu Mad at the beginning, and at that time he still thought that the other party was just a newcomer, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
Someday!
The other party will feel the fear of being dominated by the small black house, and see how terrifying the editor's urging law is.
But now.
Chu Mad didn't see his own horror, he was an author who never delayed the manuscript and opened the skylight, but he saw Chu Mad first.
People really regard money as dung.
In this regard, Yang Feng could only shake his head helplessly, and commented with a wry smile: "It's really too capricious!"
Following.
May 1st.
The end of Chu Mad's "King of the Net" has been released!
