Reborn great writer

Chu Xing was chatting with a few familiar friends. Although Su Shichen could only see Chu Xing's back but not his front from this angle, Su Shichen could see another person facing the past from this direction. A very familiar person - the original disc!

It was the original master who co-wrote "Earth at the End of the World" with Yuan Ju, and was completely defeated by Su Shichen in the science fiction confrontation. .He and Yuan Pan have only met twice in total, including this time, only two times, but the feud is not just a matter of confrontation.

The first time was a sensational university speech held by the Writers Association. Yuanpan spent a lot of time preparing the speech, but was suppressed by Su Shichen's impromptu performance.At this time, Yuan Pan was chatting happily with Chu Xing and several other famous writers.

"By the way, idiot, I've always wanted to know what's going on this time? Hearing the chairman's tone, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he even called my cell phone himself." Su Shichen asked.

"You silly brother, I'm also confused. I also rushed here after receiving a call from the chairman. I was still writing the outline of the new book, and I lost inspiration when I was interrupted. Shi Chen, you know, I'm getting older It’s hard to remember names, not every author can be constantly inspired.” When Ji Wen spoke, the pile of flesh on his body trembled, which was very spectacular, “I just looked at the authors who were invited by the Writers’ Association this time. Although there are not many, those who received invitations are either very famous or very prestigious, looking at the battle, this time the matter is not small!"

"Silly brother, didn't you tell me last time that there was a big change in the writer's association? Could it be that today is to announce this matter?" Su Shichen suddenly remembered what Ji Wen said to him at Ji Wen's home last time.

"I'll find out in a while, silly brother, I'm not the leader, of course the chairman won't know so clearly."

All those present were urgently called by the chairman of the Writers Association, and all of them were the core authors of the Writers Association.Su Shichen quickly grasped the main point from the big paragraph of silly brother's words. It seems that the matter this time is definitely not small, but what is it?

Ji Wen also seemed to be quite out of group, except for Su Shichen, I didn't see him greeting anyone else in the Writers Association. "Before I heard your hacker's ideas, I knew it must be a classic, but after I read "The Matrix i: The Matrix", I was still taken aback by the excitement of the novel. The complete world view and the whole book are like a book. Like a bomb..." As he said that, Ji Wen looked around and said in a low voice, "Shi Chen, I heard some rumors, the one raised by the General Administration of Press and Publication..."

"The best young writer, right? I've heard the news a long time ago." Su Shichen cut the conversation.

"No, Shi Chen, the best young writer, you deserve it. There is nothing to argue about. The news I received is that the best work of the year from the General Administration of Press and Publication may be "The Matrix i Hacker Mission" .”

Su Shichen heard a new word from Ji Wen's mouth, and asked sideways: "Didn't the General Administration of Press and Publication only have two awards for the best young author and writer author? Where did this best work come from?" ?”

"A new award is added. Compared with me, Shi Chen, your intelligence is really behind. The book Hacker is a miracle published by Huaxia in terms of popularity and sales, so you will receive this award. The surname may be very big." Ji Wen took two steps forward, as if only in this way could he show his solemn tone.

"Although the probability is very high, it's not [-]%. Shi Chen, you can spare some time to hold a few book signings. Such activities as book signings and new book launches can be said to be a sharp weapon for the author, but I found out that you don't like to use this sharp weapon, Shi Chen, alas, it seems that this is the gap in strength." Ji Wen looked self-pitying.

"I think it's better to write better works than to spend time on publicity, so I rarely hold book signings."

"Yes, either don't do it, or make it a blockbuster. I still remember the sensation caused by the hacker's new book launch." Ji Wen patted his swollen belly with his palm like a fan, and then made a small and frightened look. "I've attended quite a few new book launches, but this is the first time I've seen a new book launch turned into a concert. It's a spectacular scene!"

"Sign the book and sell it. I will discuss it with Aunt Wang when I have time." Su Shichen nodded slightly.

A heavyweight award is really important for a book, just like "Farewell My Concubine" won the best film award at the Cannes International Film Festival in France in the previous life. It was released in 74 theaters in the United States and attracted more than 500 audiences. With a box office of [-] US dollars, Su Shichen still maintained the record of Chinese literary films in the United States when Su Shichen was reborn. This is the influence of a fatal award on the performance of a work.This year's best work must be won!Although Su Shichen said that he would discuss it with Wang Ni, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Although it is very important to prepare novels to confront Chu University, it must not be sloppy. However, it is still necessary for hackers to hold book signings in those major cities in China." Ji Wen said enviously, "Speaking of which, Shi Chen, your boss still wants to That's great, I've covered almost everything for you."

In fact, it should be said that Su Shichen is Wang Ni's boss.

Su Shichen heard a different meaning from the idiot's words, and then he had an idea and asked, "Silly brother, is the publishing house you are staying at now not good?"

Ji Wen's almost invisible chin nodded, and Su Shichen became very interested: "Is it because of the royalties?"

Generally, this is the only reason for conflicts between authors and publishers.But Ji Wen shook his head, and then slowly explained the reason for the incident: "The publishing company I work for has a great influence on my works. I often ask me to add some commercial plots, and even ask me to delete them. Drop some important foreshadowing."

This kind of thing is probably more serious than the manuscript fee.Originally, authors have their own ideas about novels. You say that you are the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, but you are not the author, so you don’t know the author’s thoughts. Why do you require this and that for the work?If the editor-in-chief is really so awesome, then just write it yourself as the editor-in-chief.

"Silly brother, did you sign a book with the publisher?" If it was a human being, there would be some trouble.

"Books, but I have signed three books, and two have already been published. In addition to the one I am currently writing, the three-book contract has expired." Ji Wen sighed, "But this time The idea of ​​this book was rejected by the editor-in-chief of the publishing house before it was submitted.”

"Is there such a publishing house? It's not a buyout contract, it's just a sharing contract. How can it be so strict?" Su Shichen looked filled with righteous indignation, as if he was the one who was cheated. This is the first step , When pulling people, you must first stand by the other side.

However, what Su Shichen said was the truth. If the publisher offered a buyout contract, then he had the right to make suggestions, but the share was different.

"How about this, silly brother, you can just jump to our Shanshi company after finishing this book. You can rest assured on the book share, silly brother. According to your current popularity and sales, silly brother, you can get more than 15.00% There is no problem at all. As for the problem of the work, anyway, I have written novels for so many years, and no one in the company has ever interfered with my novels." To be honest, Su Shichen's words bewitched Ji Wenyi and moved him. His share is not 15.00%. According to Ji Wen's current popularity, it is estimated that he can get this price even if he casually switches to a publishing house. What Ji Wen wants is the freedom of the publishing company.

Ji Wen knows that Su Shichen is a very detached person, and often does some amazing things, like being a screenwriter or a cartoonist, or writing a novel that is completely different from the previous novel after the novel is finished. Genre of novels, as well as a series of best-selling books that forcibly cheated, such an unspeakable deed, that Shanshi Company didn't interfere at all, this is really awesome!

Su Shichen saw that Ji Wenyi was moved, so he continued to increase his firepower: "Maybe you don't know, idiot, I hold the position of editor-in-chief in the company, and staying in the same company can help each other, you see? no?"

Ji Wen has absolutely no doubts about Su Shichen's status in Shanshi Company. An author like Su Shichen who is popular and fast will be valued no matter which publishing company he is in.

"Also, although Shanshi Company has been established for less than five years, it is definitely the top sales channel in the industry. First of all, in terms of marketing and sales, the publishing house has everything that a publishing house should have, covering sales in 34 provinces. Our company has other publishing houses. What the company doesn't have is online sales. Our company has a dedicated online sales station, and the traffic is still very high. Many publishing houses also distribute books to our company's website. So, don't hesitate, silly brother, go through Don’t miss it when you pass by!”

Su Shichen's words dispelled the last bit of hesitation in the stupid brother's heart. The share is not bad, and the promotion and sales are relatively strong. What else do you disagree with?

"I said Shi Chen, when did you change your career to be a pimp?" When Ji Wen laughed, the flesh on his cheek seemed to be trembling.

Although Su Shichen is called by some media as an author who can support a publishing house by himself, of course, the more well-known authors a publishing company has, the better.The addition of an author like Ji Wen will definitely increase the strength of Shanshi Company, and the biggest shareholder of this company is himself, which is why Su Shichen is so considerate.

"Hey, I just want to create a quiet writing environment for you, silly brother! You don't want others to point out your future works, do you, silly brother?" Su Shichen's words caught Ji Wen's hand. lifeline.

"I still have a book agreement with the publishing house, and we can wait until the book is finished." Although Ji Wen's words were vague, Su Shichen could tell that Ji Wen had already agreed, and if there were no accidents, Silly Brother will join Shanshi Company after this book!

Another powerful writer was recruited to the company. Do you want to take this opportunity to recruit some more writers to the company?Make Shanshi Company into an aircraft carrier in the publishing industry.Afterwards, Su Shichen dispelled the thought in his mind. The authors who could be invited to this kind of core meeting this year were either well-known or very senior.Either this kind of author is his own boss, or he is regarded as a treasure by the publishing house. After all, the publishing house that Ji Wen signed is a strange thing. , It is estimated that it will attract dissatisfaction from the entire publishing industry. Although Shanshi Company is strong, it is not strong enough to fight against the entire industry, so it is better not to do such immoral things.

"Silly brother, do you want to go and see Chu Da's demeanor together?"

"Forget it, I'm the least good at this kind of entertainment." Ji Wen waved his hand.

"Then silly brother, go ahead and sit down. I'll get to know Chinese writer No. 1." Su Shichen walked straight towards Chu Xing who was talking, and wanted to meet him for a long time.

"Chu University, I have been attracted to you for a long time. I am Su Shichen, and I am a loyal reader of you, Chu University." Although Su Shichen broke into the conversation suddenly, he did not appear abrupt and rude, and at the same time drew the eyes of several people. come over.

Finally, I saw Chu Xing face to face. Chu Xing was wearing a neat suit. He was not a handsome guy in the traditional sense, but his temples were slightly white, and his deep eyes gave him a sense of elegance and comfort.

Su Shichen was looking at Chu Xing, and Chu Xing was naturally looking at Su Shichen. To Su Shichen... (To be continued.)
