After marrying Tianhou, I suddenly became popular

Chapter 46 Breaking is Impossible

After submitting the manuscript in the morning, to be honest, Li Xiaobai also felt a little nervous in his heart. Although the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was very popular in his previous life, the IP adaptation can be regarded as a success.

He also has a lot of confidence in this novel, but having confidence does not mean that it will be successful.

There are many people with confidence in the world, but there are only a few people who really succeed in accomplishing things.

shook his head.

Li Xiaobai still waited patiently for the notification result from the publishing house.

Regardless of whether your work has been approved by the publishing house or not, the publishing house will give you a notice. In this regard, publishing houses in this world are doing very well.

The only difference is that for novels that have not been reviewed by the editorial department of the publishing house, the notification to the author is through a mobile phone text message.For novels that have passed the review of the editorial department of the publishing house, the way to notify the author is by phone.

In the afternoon, Li Xiaobai wanted to go out, because Shen Lingwei's studio called and said that the band had already mastered the soundtrack and could start a trial recording.

The recording process is divided into trial recording and formal recording.

The purpose of the trial recording is to get in touch with the band and the singer. After all, there is no tacit understanding between the band in the studio and him. With the trial recording process, some tacit understanding can be cultivated to the greatest extent.

For Li Xiaobai, although he has been fed all the knowledge related to "The Ugly" by the system, he still needs it for the trial recording process.

Singing is not a matter of one person, but a team to cooperate and negotiate to achieve the perfect effect.

Now that I have decided to release the song online, I naturally have to work hard to achieve the most perfect state.

So he decided to go to the studio and try recording.

Just as Li Xiaobai was changing his shoes and preparing to go out, his mobile phone vibrated suddenly, and then the phone rang.

The call is connected.

"Hello, are you Xiaobai? I'm An Lan, the editor of the third editorial department of Confucius Culture Publishing House."

The editor of Master Culture Publishing House... Li Xiaobai, who understood the situation, smiled and said, "I am."

An Lan also smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Xiaobai, after the review by our third editorial department, it is confirmed that your novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has met the publishing requirements of Master Culture Publishing House, which means that your novel will have the opportunity to be published. , I have sent you the specific contract by email."

The review passed... Li Xiaobai smiled happily: "Okay."

If the review is passed, it means that it can be printed and published...you can communicate with readers in a friendly manner!
After a pause, An Lan continued: "Mr. Xiaobai like this, "Ghost Blowing Lantern" has passed the strict professional review of the publishing house, and decided to give this novel an additional second-level recommendation quota for the publishing house. After passing the recommendation, "Ghost Blowing Lantern" There will be more opportunities for exposure.”

After submitting the manuscript, Li Xiaobai also learned a little about the additional recommendation mechanism of the publishing house.

A novel that can be valued by the publishing house and given a recommendation quota shows that the editor of the publishing house is very optimistic about the market prospect of this novel, otherwise such a precious resource cannot be placed on a novel casually.

Li Xiaobai was very happy: "Okay."

Although he knew the omnipotent law that a product produced by the system must be a high-quality product, he was not sure that the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" would definitely be recommended by the publishing house. It is a boutique' this sentence can still be trusted.

An Lan asked with a smile: "Mr. Xiaobai, you have no problem with the follow-up update. Novels that have been recommended by the publishing house cannot be delayed halfway."

After signing the contract, Xiaobai is one of her writers, and she also attaches great importance to Xiaobai, and has great confidence in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

In fact, this rule is also written in the contract, but An Lan is afraid that Xiaobai will not be careful when reading the contract, or accidentally miss it.

Still a reminder.

Breaking is even more impossible. It is impossible in this life. You can only live by hydrology... Li Xiaobai said to himself: "Don't worry, I am very fast."

With the blessing of sensitivity capsules, the speed of code words is by no means comparable to that of other authors. In addition, there is no need to conceive the plot like other authors, and it is impossible to delay the draft.

"Ok."

An Lan's voice was nice: "Let me add your Weichat, it will be convenient for future communication."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the two added WeChat friends.

Li Xiaobai was not in a hurry to put on his shoes and go out, but leaned against the door and opened the mailbox, only to see several unread emails in the inbox.

How come there are so many?The publishing house sends an email with the link to sign the contract, one is enough... Li Xiaobai clicked on an unread email out of curiosity.

"I will give you a big gift package: Nanhu Automobile P66 series is on sale, and now you can enjoy a [-]% discount if you make an appointment in advance. The reservation link: www...."

Li Xiaobai backed out with a dark face, and clicked on the top unread email.

"Mysterious field: here is the most comprehensive service, Lolita, Yujie, maid... as long as you want, you can find it here, the price is cheap, and the service is considerate. Door-to-door hotline: 136..."

What is this all about!Why do you accept all kinds of spam, don't accept this kind of advertisement that looks fake at first glance!

It's not normal at first glance, maybe it's a fairy dance, how could someone be fooled by calling such an obvious loophole!

Not as reliable as the intersection barber shop!
This time Li Xiaobai saw who the sender was, so he clicked in.

The content of the contract is not particularly large, but the aspects covered are very comprehensive, and all aspects are considered.

Moreover, the content of the contract also stated that the number of publications and sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is 30 copies, the price of a single copy is 20 yuan a copy, and the royalty is 5.00%, which is the standard price for newcomers.

The royalties here are not the kind of tax that the public understands, but the copyright royalties exercised by publishing companies, which are the monetary benefits collected by the creators or copyright holders of intellectual property rights from other people who use their intellectual property rights.

To put it simply, it is the fee that the publishing house has to pay Li Xiaobai.

This also surprised Li Xiaobai a little bit, because if it was in the physical novel market in the previous life, new authors would basically be published for the first time to buy out the copyright, and there would be no payment for the later reprinting.

This situation will only change when the new author has a certain status in the novel world, or the capital has accumulated to a certain extent.

Unless a newcomer author has a relationship with the publishing house and can get special treatment from a special channel, otherwise he can only be squeezed unreasonably by the publisher.

And this kind of situation will not happen in this world. There is no situation of buying out and not paying the post-issue account. From this point of view, Bluestar has already done a very conscientious thing in this respect.

Li Xiaobai read the contract very carefully, and only after reading it three times did he sign his name and pen name at the end of the contract.

The contract signing of the novel does not need to go to the scene or print the paper version of the contract, but can sign the electronic contract of the online version.

After signing the contract, Li Xiaobai sent a message to editor An Lan, telling the other party that the contract had been signed.

An Lan was not surprised either.

Now that you have submitted a manuscript, you must be ready to write a novel. As long as there is no problem with signing a contract, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Just after An Lan finished printing out the signing contract and returned to her seat, she was about to chat with Xiaobai, but was shocked to find that the other party was no longer online.

An Lan: "????"

what's the situation?
I went offline directly, so there is really nothing to say?

Li Xiaobai's operation made An Lan a little confused, because it was a little different from those authors she had met before.

In the novel industry, newcomers generally lick editors, even some established authors who are not well-known will respect editors and dare not disobey them in the slightest.

But this Xiaobai is different!

After he signed the contract and told himself, he went offline at the speed of light, which was unexpected by An Lan.

Although she also dislikes the author licking the editor, if you have the ability to write a novel, the editor's recommendation will not be bad if the work is good, and it is useless to lick the work if the quality is not good.

But the problem is... She still wants to have a good chat with Xiaobai about the follow-up direction of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

When an editor talks about a novel with an author, either the author is very famous and powerful, or the editor is particularly optimistic about the author.

Xiaobai belongs to the second category.

After all, An Lan is very optimistic about Xiaobai, and she also likes "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" very much, and she can't put it down.

So she originally planned to come back and chat with Xiaobai about the novel market and her creative direction for the future novel market after printing out the contract, and give some advice and guidance by the way.

But when he saw the five words 'friend is offline' prompted, An Lan was almost suffocated internally.

What's the matter, are you in such a hurry?

[Negative emotions from An Lan + 0.1]

However, An Lan didn't say much or think about anything. Since she was offline, it meant that Xiaobai had something urgent to deal with.

There is no rush to talk about novels. Anyway, judging from the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", there is nothing that needs to be revised. In An Lan's opinion, everything has been done to the extreme, which is already very good.

As for the follow-up question, An Lan couldn't say anything without reading the outline.

It’s just that some new writers will feel a little ecstatic after they have achieved outstanding results in their first novel, and feel that they are so great that they are the chosen one or something. Such authors often do not have particularly ideal follow-up results. Or the second one that no one cares about.

The reason why An Lan wants to chat with Xiaobai more is to understand his thoughts and arrangements for the plot behind "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". If there are some plot arrangements that should not appear or are unreasonable, there is her "senior" The editor helps to review, and it can be found in advance and solved in advance.

The most important thing is that An Lan likes "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" so much, and attaches great importance to this novel.

"Let's talk about it next time!" An Lan murmured to herself, poured herself a cup of tea, and continued reviewing manuscripts.

With the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", she is not so eager to contribute to the next novel.

Her recommendation quota for this month has already been given out, and her quota for participating in the autumn new talent competition has also been given out, so there is no need to worry.

But she is also very serious about reviewing new submissions, which is the minimum responsibility and respect an editor has for authors.

An Lan's guess is right, Li Xiaobai is indeed busy right now, and he is busy rushing to the studio to test the recording right now!
……

outside the villa.

Just after signing the electronic contract, Li Xiaobai received a message from Dazui sister: "I'm at the door."

Shen Lingwei was busy in the studio, so she asked Li Jie, the big mouth sister, to pick up Li Xiaobai and go to the studio to record songs.

Li Xiaobai put away his mobile phone and stepped out of the house. At the door, there was a white car parked at the moment.

"Get in the car, the band is waiting!"

The left window of the white car was rolled down, and Sister Dazui poked her head out and greeted Li Xiaobai with a smile.

"Okay." Li Xiaobai said hello and got into the car.

"noob."

Glancing at Li Xiaobai through the front-view mirror, Sister Da Zui started the accelerator: "The girl group song "I Don't Want to Grow Up" you wrote is so good, it's a pity we can't sing it ourselves."

"It's okay, it's just a song."

[Negative emotions from Li Jie +0.1]

"Fine!"

Sister Big Mouth smiled: "You are so powerful, you have the final say."

……

Four 10 minutes later.

Li Xiaobai came to the studio.

This is a high-end office building. People come and go in professional attire. It is a gathering place for high-end white-collar workers.

Shen Lingwei's studio is on the 32nd floor of the building, occupying an entire floor.

Sister Dazui is Shen Lingwei's manager, she is the number one person in the studio besides Shen, and many people come and go to say hello.

"Miss Li."

Seeing Li Jie's return, a fat employee who had been waiting at the entrance of the recording studio hurried forward to greet him: "The equipment has almost been adjusted, and the band's musicians are all ready."

"Ah."

Li Jie nodded, then gave way to Li Xiaobai who was following him, and introduced: "This is Li Xiaobai, Lingwei's husband, and the singer who recorded "Ugly"."

Fatty's staff hurried forward to shake hands: "Mr. Li, the "Courage" you wrote is really nice, and my wife is your fan."

For some reason, Li Xiaobai always feels that this fat employee has a slight resentment towards him, not only the fat employee, it seems that after Li Jie introduced his identity, many people who come and go look at him strangely.

"Xiaobai, you go in first, I still have something to do." Li Jie explained a few words to Li Xiaobai, and went to attend to his own affairs.

Li Xiaobai followed the fat man into the recording studio area. There was not just one recording studio, but a row.

"Mr. Li, you don't know that many people in the studio like you very much." The fat employee rubbed his hands and pushed open a door.

"Ok?"

The fat employee looked around, and explained in a low voice: "The song "Courage" you wrote severely pressed Riemann under it, and it was impossible to turn over. It was too relieved."

Li Xiaobai suddenly realized that Shen Lingwei and Li Manman had been fighting since their debut, and then because of the role grabbing, the relationship between the two deteriorated to a mechanism.

The employees in the studio naturally disliked Riemann.

The fat man pushed open the door of a recording studio: "Mr. Li, the musicians are all inside."

The musicians who made the soundtrack for Li Xiaobai this time are all the top-notch musicians in the studio, and their ability is definitely not inferior to those playing card music companies.

Otherwise, it is impossible to master the soundtrack of a song skillfully in such a short time.

While Li Xiaobai was recording, on the other side, Shen Lingwei welcomed the representative of Han Entertainment.
