Great Writer

With the strong recommendation of He Shouchang, the literary magnate, "Love and Sex" can be regarded as famous in one fell swoop. As long as it is published in the "World Journal" area, this new work that no one has heard of before is almost in a very short period of time. Within a short period of time, it was sold out by readers who like to see in-depth and connotative works.

Of course, this is not to say how terrifying the sales of "Love and Sex", but because the first print of this work is only 10,000 copies, and the areas where it is marketed are mainly in the city of Suzhou, and only 2,000 copies are available. Sell ​​it in places outside of Suzhou.

　　 Therefore, just because the number of "Love and Sex" listed outside Suzhou is too small, it will be "snapped out".

　　 Obviously, Ling Jingsu, who published "Love and Sex" for Wang Defu, is not very optimistic about the sales of this book, or in other words, is not optimistic about its short-term sales.

　　 The reason is needless to say. Wang Defu himself chose to pursue connotation and depth, betraying the public readers, and his pen name "Ms. Yi Ren" is not a literary magnate. If such works don't sell well, who is going to hit the street?

Even Wang Defu himself was mentally prepared that the sales of "Love and Sex" would not be too high, so he also thought that Ling Jingsu was interesting enough, and he also printed 10,000 copies of "Love and Sex" for the first time. I don't know this yet. Ten thousand copies cannot be sold out.

　　 But both Wang Defu and Ling Jingsu did not expect that "Love and Sex" would be named and recommended by literary bigwigs.

So before they knew about it, Ling Jingsu was still in her editor-in-chief's office, comforting Wang Defu. She said: "The sales of "Love and Sex" in the first week have been counted. There are 1,500 copies. The sales of "Love and Sex" are still good. The price of "Love and Sex" is 200 bronze inscriptions, and your royalties are 10%. So if you sell 1,500 copies, you get another 30 silver dollars, which is pretty good, right? Is this money?"

　　Wang Defu came here, but he came to say goodbye to Ling Jingsu, because he had packed his things and was ready to go home for the New Year.

　　 Of course, before going home, he would go to the magic city to buy a newly listed black-and-white TV. The price turned out to be 80 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 8,000 yuan in the world he used to.

　　Wang Defu doesn't think the price is too expensive. After all, it is the latest new type of electrical appliance on the market. It is worth the price.

Wang Defu's "Love and Sex" with a cost of 3 silver dollars for a thousand characters has brought him nearly 600 silver dollars for the author's remuneration. Excluding these two months of expenses, he still has more than 400 silver dollars and used 80 silver dollars to buy Taiwanese black and white. The TV set is more than enough, and this can prove to the family that even if there is no financial source at home, he can live easily!

In fact, he has already spent very lavishly. He would invite his classmates to dinner and drink, and take his younger sister Wang Mo'er out of the restaurant. Even so, he still has so much money in balance, and even earns the tuition for the next year. Now, does he still need to be restrained by his family?

　　 In fact, since he became famous in the literary world for his article "Female Submission", many newspapers and magazines took the initiative to ask him for articles. This is the power of fame.

Wang Defu did not refuse the manuscript, and even at the invitation of his friend Zhu Moche, he accepted the manuscript from the famous prose magazine "Mei Wen". After "Listening to the Snow Night", he wrote an article titled "Pure Lotus". His prose is only a thousand words, yet it shows the magnificence of his writing style vividly and vividly. It is published on "Mei Wen", which complements each other.

Of course, the cost of writing such a short, concise essay is very small, only 1 silver dollar, but it is not a small increase in his reputation. After the prose has been published, these essays will be published together. In this way, the royalties will be considerable. After all, that At that time, it was estimated that he had the title of "Proseist", and once recommended by a big man who admired his prose, the sales of his prose collection would naturally go up.

When Wang Defu heard what Ling Jingsu said, he waved his hand and said: "I am not short of money. Don't say this comforting me. At the beginning, "Love and Sex" sold the magazine to 50,000. Now It sold only 1,500 in the first week, and the market is real enough. This is all my own problem and it’s hard for you."

　　 Ling Jingsu heard Wang Defu say this~www.readwn.com~ If she were to be another writer, she was afraid that she would be annoyed. A good best-selling book can be made like this, which is absolutely disgusting!

However, when she saw Wang Defu’s face, she couldn't get angry at all. Instead, she said more softly: “Works with connotation and depth do not need to look at short-term sales, but long-term sales. I believe that over time, The sales of "Love and Sex" will get better and better."

　　 At this moment, Ling Jingsu's closed office unexpectedly broke into an uninvited guest. He was dressed in a sloppy gown, a melon hat, a messy beard, and an old-style poor sour literati dress.

　　 He saw Ling Jingsu and Wang Defu sitting next to each other, like a pair of people, both dressed very stylishly and modernly. He didn't dare to look at it more, just behaved, and then he knew what he was coming for.

　　 This person's name is Kong Lu, who turned out to be the creator of the "Desire Life" that follows the trend of "Love and Sex". This time, the purpose is to increase the cost of the manuscript.

"I heard that the author of "Love and Sex" actually costs 3 silver dollars for a thousand words, and she is just a newcomer, just like the next one, but the cost of the draft is only 1 silver dollars for one thousand words. Now the booklet "Life of Desire" is listed below. , The sales volume in the first week was 4,500, far exceeding "Love and Sex", so I feel that..."

Kong Lu's request was reasonable, but Ling Jingsu did not raise the manuscript fee so happily for this person, but she didn't know for a while that she should refuse this person so, she could only secretly introduce this person to the editor-in-chief in her heart. Office staff.

However, at this time, Ling Jingsu’s assistant suddenly hurried to her office and said loudly, “Editor-in-chief, the first 10,000 copies of "Love and Sex" have been exhausted. Please print it now. In addition, this book It’s better to redesign the second edition! Please read this "World Journal" for details!"
