I went viral when I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding

Chapter 138 These young people are too realistic

Jindu.

Hanlin Publishing House.

Looking at the eloquent manuscript of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Ni Xianghai's depression for many days has been completely eliminated.

Although Shi Rongliang was poached away.

But soon a newcomer author who was stronger than the other was sent to him.

Not to mention being the target of girl Lan Xin.

It can be said to be more happy than happy.

but
Then there is the issue of treatment that needs to be resolved.

In the line of traditional fiction.

The conditions for newcomer authors are generally in the range of 5.00% to [-]% of royalties.

Some are even lower.

For example, the popular Shi Rongliang only gave 30.00%.

It's just that the relationship exists now.

The conditions must be increased.

Ni Xianghai gritted his teeth.

He directly took out the 40.00% royalty condition.

Half of the extra ten percent is due to the sincerity of my uncle, and the other half is due to the quality of the manuscript.

"40.00%?" Yu Lanxin was a little surprised when she heard the news. As an editor, she knew the meaning better.

"That's right, 40.00%. Didn't Uncle Ni say that he promised not to let your little boyfriend suffer." Ni Xianghai nodded and smiled.

"Uncle Ni, don't talk nonsense."

Yu Lanxin originally had a serious expression.

Hearing this, he immediately felt his cheeks get hot.

They're not in a boyfriend-boyfriend relationship yet.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense."

Ni Xianghai burst out laughing.

It is said that young people nowadays always like to put love words on their lips.

But look at the appearance of this girl.

How come it feels no different from their era.

Too shy.

"Then I'll talk to him later." Yu Lanxin thought for a while.

"Okay, you go to work first."

Ni Xianghai said, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

In the future, if she pays enough remuneration, this girl will ask 'is it too high' or ask the author to lower the price.

Good day.

I agreed directly.

Not even the slightest hesitation.

These young people are so realistic.

Yu Lanxin, who left the office, naturally sent Lin Hao a message.

Usually, she really doesn't know how to take the initiative to open up the topic.

Just in time to take this opportunity to say something.

the other side.

Lin Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing the remuneration given by the publishing house.

Even though he has never been in this circle.

But I also understand what the 40.00% copyright represents.

Absolutely did not mean to treat myself as a newcomer.

In fact, he was not very happy in his heart, and even regretted it a little. While helping Yu Lanxin, he also seemed to put some pressure on her.

at this point.

no need to say anything

Nor is he hypocritical.

The only thing to pay attention to is the pen name issue.

"Let's call him Mr. Xizhou." Lin Hao said after thinking for a while.

"Mr. Xizhou, do you have any explanation?" Yu Lanxin asked curiously after hearing the words.

"Nanfeng knows what I want. Blowing Dreams to Xizhou is writing a novel, and adding the word 'Mr.' is quite appropriate." Lin Hao laughed.

"Nanfeng knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou."

Yu Lanxin murmured softly, only feeling amazed in her heart.

She also considered herself to be well-read, but after searching her mind for a while, she still couldn't find the source of these two sentences, and her brows were furrowed for a while.

she.
He was a little unconvinced.

Write down this sentence deeply.

Going back to check it out.

"Yes."

Lin Hao didn't want to talk too much about the novel.

Then he changed the topic and chatted with the other party about daily interesting things.

At the same time, I also plan to send her a few gunpla to cultivate a hobby.

Wait until Yu Lanxin has something to do.

The two of them hung up the phone.

All that's left is to sign the contract.

From Jindu to Jiangning, if the express delivery is sent in the morning, it will arrive in the afternoon, and if it is sent in the afternoon, it will arrive the next day, which is very fast.

until the contract is signed by both parties.

Ni Xianghai began to prepare for the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

With nearly 50 words on hand, he has already completed the proofreading work ahead of schedule.

According to the length of this work in millions of words.

In fact, printing three volumes is enough.

But in order to grasp the reader's heart.

Ni Xianghai insisted on dividing it into four volumes.

The specific number of printed volumes actually has a certain relationship with the quality of the novel.

The quality is average, and the number of volumes to be released should be reduced as much as possible, because the market may be cut in half in the middle and late stages, so the loss should be reduced.

And high quality.

It is just the opposite.

Not only should the number of volumes be expanded.

The number of words is also as much as possible to make the author more watery.

Given that the first volume of Shi Rongliang's last book "The War of the Deep Sea Pavilion" sold 45 copies.

He directly asked the publishing department to order a circulation of 60 copies with the factory.

There is a great momentum of breaking the boat.

I'm afraid that the combined circulation of the entire publishing house today can't reach half of this number.

The money earned from Shi Rongliang, the author, has not been warmed up yet.

Ni Xianghai slammed down on Lin Hao again.
Hanlin Publishing House soon announced the recent release plan.

The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

It's just that for the entire market and peers, it doesn't really mean much whether Hanlin Publishing House announces or not, and few people care at all.

After all, such a publishing house is too small.

It's so small that people's eyes can't even focus on it.

But there is one exception.

From start to finish.

I have been staring at the situation of Hanlin Publishing House.

This person is Shi Rongliang.

Not long ago, he failed to get Yu Lanxin's favor with instant success, so he began to hate her extremely in his heart.

Even the Hanlin Publishing House is included.

Threatening each other?

No.

Shi Rongliang felt that he was not threatening the other party.

But an excellent writer like him should be sought after, not to mention he is young and rich, this should be the standard for many women to find a spouse.

So Shi Rongliang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said that day at all.

Before there is no capital.

He can suppress all emotions in his heart.

But now.

He doesn't need to do that anymore.

Fight for what you like.

If you can't win it, you don't mind using some small means.

It is a pity.

Yu Lanxin gave up the opportunity to enjoy a better life with herself in the future.

In Shi Rongliang's view.

This woman's vision is too narrow.

Narrow enough to make out the form.

nowadays.

What future does Hanlin Publishing House have without me?

It's just a mess of sand.

That's right.

The other party gave himself a chance to be on the stage.

But I also paid back with sales performance.

There is no one who owes whom.

Doesn't this woman know that she can save years of struggle by following her?
Thinking of each other's graceful figure.

Shi Rongliang was very sorry.

This emotion dissipated when he saw Hanlin Publishing House's distribution plan.

The martial arts masterpiece "Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Take you to experience a different home, country and world?

Shi Rongliang wanted to laugh.

I really want to laugh.

To a certain extent, I even sympathized with the so-called old club.

Because his second work is also a martial arts novel.

The subject matter is exactly the same.

And now the degree of completion is close to 90.00%.

Only part of the ending still needs to be considered.

So he took the editor of his new owner 'Dingyan Publishing House' outside to find inspiration.

"Editor Gong, you have to enjoy yourself while you're alive. If you can't do it tonight, don't go back. My brother will arrange it for you in a while."

Inside a bar in Jindu.

Shi Rongliang sat on the sofa and persuaded a middle-aged man beside him.

"No, I have to go home early today, and I still have some work to do."

Gong Minghan said with a half-smile.

Don't mention how depressed he could be at this moment.

Change to normal.

Editors like them can't wait to have a good relationship with today's popular authors.

But this Shi Rongliang is really a bit absurd.

To what extent?

He often took him to linger in places like clubs and bars, and from time to time he had to touch some of the female waiters inside.

It made him feel a little uncomfortable now.

When editing these years.

I have never met such a superb author.

"Don't worry, I won't let the palace editor spend money on you, I will pay all the expenses." Shi Rongliang felt that the other party disliked the high consumption here.

"It's really not good, let's try another day. The main child is at home alone, and my wife is away on business. I'm worried."

Gong Minghan found one reason after another.

Now he really wants to leave with a flick of his sleeves.

But the editor-in-chief said.

I have to serve this popular author well. If Shi Rongliang is poached by other publishing houses, then his position will also have to be moved.

Tired of ah.

Totally aggrieved.

"Okay, then another day, but there is something I need to discuss with you, the palace editor."

Shi Rongliang said indifferently, one less person means less money, since this guy doesn't like it, forget it.

"Tell me." Gong Minghan's expression changed.

"I have almost finished the second work, but the release time needs to be adjusted." Shi Rongliang said.

"Adjust the time?"

Gong Minghan was taken aback when he heard this.

But thinking that the publishing house has not announced the release date of his work, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "No problem, when do you want to change it?"

"Hanlin Publishing House is going to release a martial arts novel called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" recently, and the time can be set on the same day as the other party."

If you can't get it, you will destroy it.

Shi Rongliang wanted to show Yu Lanxin this woman with his own strength.

I can't be replaced by anyone.

"Hanlin Publishing House?"

Gong Minghan was a little surprised.

It was because of Shi Rongliang that he was hired from the publishing house of the other party, but he didn't expect to turn around and deal with the latter.

But this is just a small publishing house.

You, Shi Rongliang, can be considered a popular author.

Is this necessary?

"That's right, I hope that the editor of the palace will arrange it. I will give you the first part of the manuscript first." Shi Rongliang said slowly.

"Okay, I see."

Compared to the other party's idea of ​​staying overnight, Gong Minghan felt that this was not a problem.

"Then thank you, Editor Gong."

Shi Rongliang raised his glass and drank it down.

His gaze was on the woman writhing beside the steel pipe in the center of the bar.
