Chapter 155 The Attitude of the Publisher and the Release of New Books
After Chen Shuren finished chatting with Chen Shuangxue, he went back to his room to code.
As for going to work, he felt that he would rest today and go back to work tomorrow.
But just after he coded 30,000 words, a message came from Chen Shuangxue.
"Teacher Mu, we at Wangu think your book is very good. I wonder how you planned this book? Do you want to publish it in volumes or as a whole?"
Chen Shuren felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his eldest sister using honorifics towards him.
At the same time, I was a little surprised by what she said.
Are you talking about publishing now?
"I plan to have four volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", each with 200,000 to 300,000 words, but the subsequent volumes will not be ready for submission for about half a month."
After waiting for a while, Chen Shuangxue messaged back again.
"Teacher Mu, our editor-in-chief has said that we can publish it in volumes. Print one volume first to warm up the market. We will see how it goes. We can also take advantage of the popularity of your recent "Ghost Blowing Lamp" to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" I’ll also get a wave of traffic, do you think it’s ok? If so, let’s talk about the treatment we’ll give you for this book.”
Looking at Chen Shuangxue's reply, Chen Shuren secretly thought that the Eternal Publishing House where the eldest sister worked seemed to be good, and it was very candid to speak out clearly about the popularity.
After thinking about it, he seemed to have nothing to say, so he just agreed.
After Chen Shuangxue received the confirmation from Chen Shuren, she typed the words in the message box while listening to Wan Shichang's story.
"That's right. When it comes to publishing, Teacher Mu will definitely choose to share. I won't go into details. Wangu will directly give you a share of up to 15%."
"Secondly, our editor-in-chief said that we will also give you a signing fee of 150,000, which is regarded as your guaranteed income."
“In addition, our publishing house will conduct two waves of publicity for your book on the online official website, Qingzhou blog, offline magazines, books and periodicals and other paper media, one after signing the contract and the other when the physical book is put on the shelves. "
"Also, if your book sells more than 500,000 copies, our publisher will increase the share to 18%, and if it sells more than 1 million copies, it will increase to 20%."
"Although this is our first time working together, we want you to know our sincerity."
Not to mention Chen Shuren was a little confused, Chen Shuangxue who was repeating Wan Shichang's words was also a little confused.
She hesitated while typing, but Wan Shichang gave her a confirming look.
After sending out all the news at this time, Chen Shuangxue couldn't help but ask her own questions.
"Editor-in-Chief, isn't this a bit too much..."
"Too attentive?"
Wan Shichang completed Chen Shuangxue's last words.
"Haha, Xiaoxue, if it hadn't been for Mulinsen's sudden appearance, I might not have worked hard anymore. Eternal Publishing House might have really turned into an old stubborn, relying on some human relationships to live in the cracks of the new era."
"But Mulinsen showed up with such a work, I couldn't hold it back!"
Wan Shichang raised his head slightly and exhaled a long breath.
"So I not only have to do it, but I also have to put all my energy into it. If I still can't get up after all my efforts, then I won't regret it."
"So, thank you, Xiaoxue, for giving me a chance, giving Eternal Publishing House a chance, so that we can fight for the last time."
Looking at Wan Shichang's red eyes, Chen Shuangxue's heart trembled.
Just as he was about to say something, his phone vibrated.
Picking up the phone and looking at it, the latest news in Mulinsen's chat box only had three words.
"Issue a contract."
…
In the afternoon of the same day, the contract signing department of Wangu Publishing House sent the contract. After checking the electronic contract, Chen Shuren directly signed his name.
From sending out the manuscript to signing the contract, he settled on the publication of a book in less than a day.
If you tell me, others may not believe it.
What's even more amazing is that that night, Eternal Publishing House actually started to work hard.
In Chen Shuren's words, he really doesn't give up any chance to gain popularity!
Because of the panic buying by Yangzhou people yesterday, the hot search terms related to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" also entered the top 100 hot searches among Qingzhou tribes.
Although it is only at the bottom, it has been seen by many people.
At this time, at position 99, a new hot search quietly appeared.
# A new martial arts book by the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be released at the end of the month #
That's right, Wangu Publishing House directly spent hundreds of thousands to buy Hot Search, just to let book lovers in the two states know that Mulinsen has a new book! And it’s about the same time as the second release of “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”!
Although the hot search only lasted for two hours because the money spent was spent and the popularity was insufficient, many people still saw the news.
As a result, both the hot search terms for "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and the comment section of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" on Lingdian Literature Network suddenly became lively.
"Mu Dafa has a new book? Why didn't I find it in Zero Point?"
"What new book?"
"Just now I saw on the hot search that Mu Da will release a new martial arts book at the end of the month, but I took a look at Lingdian Literature and found nothing. Am I dazzled?"
"I'm not dazzled upstairs. I saw it too, but the person they were talking about was not Lingdian Literature, but Eternal Publishing House! It seems that Mu Da did not publish the book at Lingdian this time, but went directly to physical publishing!"
"What? Mu Da also writes a book? How many words can he code in a day?"
"I thought ten updates a day was the limit for Mu Da. Who knew...heh, I was wrong."
In the comment section of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", due to the sales of physical books in the past two days, many book friends will come up to chat.
So after someone spread the news, it soon became known to many book friends.
"But having said that, what is the name of Mu Da's new book? Martial arts? What's so good about martial arts?"
"I remember that most of the martial arts I watched were about the fictional history of Yongzhou. They were basically either introducing a certain martial arts or about revenge. I didn't feel that there was much to see."
"Indeed, I have read a few martial arts novels, but they are not interesting."
"But if it's Mu Da, I think it's still worth watching. After all, before "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" came out, how dare you believe that tomb robbing would be so good?"
"Haha, when you say that, I'm really looking forward to it."
"There are still 20 days until the end of the month. I originally wanted to collect "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", but who knew that it was sold out in one day yesterday. If I want to buy it, I have to wait until the end of the month. This time I not only want to buy "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", but also Mu Da new book!"
"I didn't buy it either. I didn't expect those crazy people in Yangzhou to really dare to come and buy it. I guess all the printed books of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" have arrived in Yangzhou."
"Hey, I bought it early, but when I saw someone buying it online, I immediately sold it and made twice the price difference. Anyway, I had finished reading it, so I wasn't in a hurry. It would be the same if I waited until the end of the month to buy it again. Now it seems that my It was a good decision. This time I could not only buy "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", but also new books! The most exciting thing is that I bought both of Mu Da's books, but I didn't spend a penny, but made a hundred yuan. ,Hahaha!"
"Depend on!"
The joy among book lovers is contagious, and many are looking forward to Mulinsen's new book.
But when this news spread to Lingdian Literature, some people were destined to be unable to sleep.
