I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 373 Procrastinate, just procrastinate!
"Sir, please sign for it."

"Ah."

Early in the morning, Ji Zhuo was woken up by the logistics call,

Had to yawn, open sleepy eyes, doze off,

Standing in the living room as punishment, waiting for the logistics to arrive.

this time,
Several logistics guys have moved a thousand volumes of books into the living room,

Packed in ten cardboard boxes.

It was sent by Editor-in-Chief Lou, a thousand copies of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

It seems that these publishing houses are very active in getting Ji Zhuo to sign the book.

"Then we won't bother."

After Ji Zhuo signed the batch of books, the logistics guy left.
Before leaving, he even closed the living room door for Ji Zhuo.

Turning his head, he glanced at the thousand books piled up in the living room.

Ji Zhuo yawned again, and went to the sink.

If you are woken up, just wake up earlier, and you can code earlier.

These days, Ji Zhuo's work and rest in the house are relatively regular,
From morning to evening, I basically stayed in the study, hurrying to write "Empire of Shadows".

The train of thought is fairly smooth, and with his coding speed, the current manuscript of "Shadow Empire" probably has a content of nearly 20 words.

In another ten days, or less, the draft of "Empire of Shadows" will probably be finished.

And then, readers of the dog author, the long-awaited new book under the name of the dog author...

Ji Zhuo walked to the sink, his thoughts drifted away.

He also probably has some ideas about the new book under the name of the dog author.

Hmm... the most important thing now is to finish the draft of "Empire of Shadows".

Ji Zhuo withdrew his scattered thoughts.

brush teeth.

"Gollum..."

"Ding."

"Ok?"

Ji Zhuo glanced at the phone subconsciously, and then realized that it wasn't the sound of the phone.

Lift your head and look in front of you,
It was a prompt that popped up on the system interface that hadn't moved for a long time.

"Congratulations to the host for achieving the sub-profession: Writer's current task goal: The number of viewers of the anime adapted from the script is not less than 200 million, the number of animation episodes is not less than 12, and the favorable rate is not less than 80.00%."

"Congratulations to the host for getting the target reward for the sub-professional screenwriter of this issue: script attribute +2, free attribute point +2."

"Congratulations to the host for completing a script adaptation and gaining a sub-profession: screenwriting experience."

"The host has met the sub-profession: screenwriter upgrade requirements, whether to upgrade?"

A series of prompts on the system panel made Ji Zhuo stunned.

I have been busy writing "Empire of Shadows" recently, and I am busy paying attention to the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great",
Ji Zhuo really didn't pay much attention to the anime adaptation of "Hour Hand".

It's just that I probably knew that the "Hour Hand" animation has already started broadcasting,
At this moment, the first season of "Hour Hand" has been updated?

It's about the same time.

Ji Zhuo turned back to his thoughts, and then looked at the system panel.

This time, in addition to the task reward for completing the current target of the sub-professional,

It's also because the little bit of experience this time is just enough to upgrade as an associate professional screenwriter.

"confirm."

"Sub-profession: Screenwriter has been upgraded to level 3."

The rank of the associate professional screenwriter has been improved.

Ji Zhuo conveniently distributed the two free attribute points obtained this time.

The data on the system panel has changed a bit.

"Main occupation: Writer.

主职业等级：4级（2/5）（1/1）

Sub-occupation: Screenwriter (Level 3) (0/3)

Sub-occupation: Lyricist

Sub-occupation: not yet open

Occupational Attributes:
Writing style: 18
Plot: 20
Speed: 20
Inspiration: 20
Scripts: 23
Lyricist: 20
Current task goal of the main occupation: According to the current task level and past achievements, confirm the main occupation goal of the current period is to create a work with a sales volume of not less than 90 copies within a certain period of time, and the number of words to be completed is not less than 20.

Task reward: Free attribute +12
Incentive money: 3000 million/month.

Sub-occupation: Lyricist Current goal: ...

Sub-occupation: Screenwriter Current goal: Create or adapt a film, animation and other scripts. It is required to adapt and create scripts corresponding to film and television animation projects. The number of viewers is not less than 400 million. The number of animation episodes is not less than 80.00. Lower than... The positive rating is not less than [-]%.

Task completion reward: script attribute +2, free attribute +4.

The current incentive fund is: 40% corresponds to the actual total investment of the film and television animation project. "

Ji Zhuo looked at the changes on the system panel,

First of all, the level of the assistant professional screenwriter has reached level 3,
Judging from the required experience points later, it seems that there is not much difference from the promotion rules of the main profession.

Then there are changes in the attributes of each profession.

Originally, the two free attributes obtained by the screenwriting task should also be taken from the screenwriter and used in the script.

But looking at the inspiration attribute and the plot attribute, they are just one point to twenty each.

Ji Zhuo gave the score just like that, all he can say is, after balancing Dafa.

Nodding his head, Ji Zhuo looked towards the end,
After the level of the assistant professional screenwriter has been raised,

The screenwriter's current task goal has indeed undergone many changes.
The number of movie viewers required by the mission has doubled.

But it is very reasonable, and the amount of incentive money has also doubled.

But to Ji Zhuo, it seems that he still doesn't feel anything.

This is the incentive money for the sub-profession of screenwriting,
It seems that the pros and cons are the same for Ji Zhuo.

Regardless of whether the film and television project corresponding to the script is popular, the share that Ji Zhuo can get,
I still fluttered, and I can get the best incentive money.

It's not much difference after all, even if the incentive money reaches [-]% of the actual project investment,

But the task requirements have also doubled, which means that to achieve the current goal of the system, the animation and film corresponding to the script will be even more popular.

After doing the math, it seems that the screenwriter's incentive money is probably for him.

Hey,
If the main professional writer's incentive money can do the same,
It only serves as a cover, and Ji Zhuo feels that he is sure to be unimpeded on the road to becoming a great writer!
Ji Zhuo glanced at the current incentive money for the main profession on the system interface.

Forget it...

The incentive money is still very good, especially when it is 3000 million per month.

Close the system interface,

Ji Zhuo turned his head back and continued to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth.

"Gollum...poof!"

……

"Have the statistics come out?"

"Not yet, there are still a few channels that have not been counted, why don't I show you some of the data that I have collected now."

"do not want!"

Al Press,
It wasn't long before the sun outside the house, it was still early in the morning.

Al and Petunia still didn't go back to rest last night, so they spent the whole night on the sofa in the office.

But for Al, last night was a sleepless night, tossing and turning on the sofa,
From time to time, I have to get up and walk a few steps back and forth to relieve my inner tension.

Even, at this moment, there are booksellers from various channels one after another, and yesterday's sales data is summarized,
Al was a little afraid to look at it,

Just stand here, let Penny sit in front of the computer, and help him figure it out.

"You count them all and tell me the total."

"it is good……"

Petunia responded, then turned her head to look at some of the sales data that had been summarized on the computer screen, with a smile on her face again,

"...You're laughing, you're not as nervous as I am. Did yesterday's "Ordinary and Great" sell well?"

Al looked at Penny and smiled, and couldn't help asking.

Just waiting for Penny to turn her head to answer,

But seeing Al shook his head and waved his hands quickly again,

"No, no, don't tell me, don't tell me at this time, or tell me after all the data is collected."

"I'm afraid I'm more nervous."

Al spoke quickly.

Petunia couldn't help smiling more,
He didn't speak anymore, and looked at the sales data summarized on the computer for Al,
And Al is standing here, facing the back of the desk and computer,
From time to time, he paced back and forth nervously.

The sales volume of "The Ordinary and the Great" yesterday.

It is a very important data, even more important than the data of the first day,

Two days ago, the two biggest opponents of Mr. I's "The Ordinary and the Great",
The two biggest rivals of Ayer Press have not reacted much yet.

And yesterday, Delwin Publishing and Burt Publishing have launched their publicity campaigns respectively.
The heat is like a tsunami, and Ayer Press is simply not qualified to fight against such a large amount of heat.
It's just that these two publishing houses are fighting each other, and the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great" published by Ayer Press is inadvertently overwhelmed under this situation.

Yesterday's sales volume is the performance of Mr. I's work "The Ordinary and the Great" under the pressure of the two opponents.

Al has enough confidence in Mr. I's works.

It's just that when it's time to 'sentence', I still can't help being nervous.

After the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" read it two days ago, word of mouth has already fermented to a certain extent.

Even under the roar of mountains and tsunami, the publicity draft of Ayer Press still has an increasing number of comments and reposts.

Then yesterday, the sales of Mr. I's works should be pretty good.

just,

At this moment, Al still hasn't seen the specific sales data,
I can't let go of my heart,

"...Penny, the best bookseller in the White Flag country, we cooperate with... What is the sales data collected by him, please tell me first..."

"No, no, no... let's say goodbye... or tell me after all the statistics are finished..."

"Damn...how are the efficiency of these bookstore channels so low!"

Al talked back and forth repeatedly, and walked back and forth repeatedly,
"Calm down, Al. Except for those booksellers who sent the data directly from the system last night, the data of other bookstores will be available at least after going to work today, right?"

"I know I know……"

"Well, that Great Britain, the bookseller channel we cooperated with for the first time... Has the sales data of that channel been summarized..."

"No...don't tell me..."

Al seemed a little anxious.
At this time, Petunia raised her head,

"Yes, the statistics are over..."

"No, no, don't tell me yet..."

"The data from all channels are basically aggregated."

Al fell silent and looked at his wife Penny.

"Yesterday, the total sales volume of Mr. I's work "The Ordinary and the Great" across all channels was 2986 copies. It was almost [-] copies in a single day!"

Petunia's eyes brightened and she said,

Ayrton sighed and became excited.

"cool!"

Al was a little excited.

Naturally, this sales volume is far from the sales volume that Mr. I's works should get in his mind.
However, compared with the previous day, the single-day sales of Mr. I's works have increased significantly.

The most important thing is that under the word-of-mouth quality of Mr. I's works,

Even under the tsunami of publicity from Delwin Publishing and Burt Publishing House, and the huge enthusiasm of those two writers,

The sales volume of Mr. I's works still kept rising against the trend.

Perhaps the current sales volume is not enough, but give Al, who already has enough confidence in Mr. I's works, more confidence.

As long as the reader base of Mr. I's works continues to accumulate,
That is bound to usher in the day when word-of-mouth explodes!
At that time, even the two writers so what,
It's like being rich, how can it block the sun's rays!

At that time, no matter how popular they were, there was no way to suppress the popularity of Mr. I's works!
Now those who discuss ABC on the Internet and discuss the popularity of dog authors' new books,

It will also be full of discussions about Mr. I's works!
"Penny, do you think we should start now, let the printing factory continue to print, and we continue to stock up, the first batch of 30 copies is not enough!"

"...We still have a lot of margin now, maybe in two days?"

Penny suggested.

"...Well, Penny, don't you have confidence in the sales of Mr. I's works?"

"No, I have enough information, and I may be more confident than you, Al... It's just that the sold "Ordinary and Great" has not been paid back, and we don't have that much money to print another 30 copies."

"Well, then wait until the first batch of payment is returned, and continue printing immediately..."

"Let me first tell Mr. I the good news that sales continued to increase yesterday, and Mr. I will be happy too!"

Al spoke excitedly, and then sat back in front of the computer.

Petunia made room for him.

He glanced at yesterday's sales statistics summarized on the screen again,
Put a smile on your face again,
Mr. I will be delighted,
Ayer Press did not disappoint Mr. I's trust too much,
Of course, the current sales data is not enough.

Ayer Press will continue to work hard!
thinking,

Al sent the good news of yesterday's sales increase to Mr. I.

……

When Ji Zhuo received the news, he was already sitting in front of the computer in the study,
Haven't started coding yet.

Reaching out and taking a glance at the mobile phone on the side, I saw the message from Al,
Looking at the content of the message, Ji Zhuo really couldn't describe it.

"al: Mr. I, the sales data of your work "The Ordinary and the Great" has been calculated yesterday.

al: Compared with the previous day, the single-day sales of your works have increased again.

al: This mainly depends on Mr. I's word-of-mouth fermentation among some readers,
al: Let your works, even under the influence of other big publishing houses and great writers, still maintain their own popularity and sales growth.

al: Mr. I, the total sales volume of your work yesterday was more than [-] copies!

al: And this is just the beginning. Even under the influence of other writers, Mr. I, your works are bound to continue to shine.

al; they are like a thick fog, but Mr. I you are the sun! "

Looking at Al's words, he was a little excited.

Ji Zhuo was in a complicated mood.

It's not complicated because of yesterday's sales,
[-] copies, let's count the sales volume of [-] copies on the day,
Compared with Ji Zhuo's current main career goal, it is still far behind.

"Imperial Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" sold more than 20 copies a day, and when hundreds of thousands of copies were sold, Ji Zhuo has experienced it all.

What is this.

It's just that Al's last two sentences made Ji Zhuo uncomfortable.

What does it mean that even under the influence of some writers, it can still maintain popularity and sales growth.

I said, dog author, can you do ABC!
Not even a small vest can cover it!

Oh, and the dog author and ABC is myself too.

Ji Zhuo felt even more uncomfortable.

Looking at the news of Ai Er, he hesitated to speak, and then hesitated to speak.

He raised his hand and put it down again, wanting to send a message to Al, but he didn't know what to say.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Thank you Al Publishing for your efforts, and thank you Al for the editor."

Ji Zhuo had no choice but to return like this.

"al: Everything is due to Mr. I's work, and all the publicity and publishing work of Al Publishing House is linked to the quality of your work, Mr. I.

al: It's all because Mr. I, your work is good enough!

al: Mr. I, your work is not inferior to anyone else, no, I think it is better than that ABC or any other "dog author".

al: As for Al Press, it is an honor for Al Press and mine to publish your work! "

No, it's not my credit, don't talk nonsense!
Ji Zhuo wanted to deny it three times, but seeing Al's words,
It seems that there is nothing to return.

However, in terms of sales data alone, this data is still far from it.

The increase is just average.

Ji Zhuo's mentality is still quite stable.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: The efforts made by Ayer Publishing House are also very important. Editor-in-Chief Ayer, you have worked hard."

Ji Zhuo still seems to be the only one who can reply like this.

And on the other side,
Al was about to cry.

Mr. I is aware of the efforts made by Ayer Press,

Mr. I trusts the publishing house so much, and is so considerate of them.

Scholar die for the confidant!

Just based on Mr. I's words, how can I say that Al should also do a good job in the publication of Mr. I's work,
What's more, this work is still so good, even great.

Such works must be seen by more readers!
"al: No, it's not hard. Everything is due to Mr. I..."

To put it bluntly, if you push each other back and forth,

Seeing that Ji Zhuo was a little silent.

After a quick chat with Al, the communication with Al ended.

"call……"

Put down the phone,

Take a deep breath.

Turning his head, Ji Zhuo looked at the coding software that had just been opened on the computer screen,
Facing the blank code interface of the new chapter, Ji Zhuo paused.

We must hurry up and finish the draft of "Shadow Empire",

Let the popularity of "Empire of Shadows" overwhelm "The Ordinary and the Great" under I's name.

What's the matter, it will be delayed for three months... a month or two!

(End of this chapter)
