Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Tao Ge called.

With a clear understanding, Zhang Xuan answered the phone and asked: "Is there any result in the first round?"

Tao Ge said: "There is a result."

Zhang Xuan asked nervously: "How is the situation?"

Tao Ge said: "There are 23 books, and 8 were sold in the first round."

Zhang Xuan held his breath: "Is mine still there?"

Tao Ge smiled: "I feel you are nervous."

Zhang Xuan laughed and said very frankly: "Fortunately, if you don't call me, I won't take the initiative to think about it.

You called and discovered that ordinary people are just ordinary people after all and cannot be saints. "

Tao Ge said with relief: "You are promoted in fifth place, so the first few rounds should not be a big problem for you."

Zhang Xuan heard what was said, and after a few seconds of silence asked, "How many films do you plan to select this year?"

Tao Ge said: "This sister really has no way of knowing. According to the usual practice, there should be about 4 films selected, and no more than 5 films at most."

Zhang Xuan rubbed his eyebrows: "So mine is dangerous?"

Tao Ge pondered for a while: "We can't say that now. We won't be able to see the clues until the next two rounds. People's Literature is currently doing its best in public relations, so don't worry too much."

Zhang Xuan sighed silently and then stopped thinking about it.

In fact, it is powerless to think too much on my own. I have no background and no connections, so I can't change anything at all.

Since you just accept the situation, you might as well choose to forget it, so as not to cause more troubles.

Zhang Xuan changed the subject and said, "My new book is almost finished."

After hearing the elegant meaning of Xian, Tao Ge asked: "When will it be finished?"

Zhang Xuan thought about it: "It's almost 260,000 words, and there are still about 40,000 words left to finish, about a week."

Tao Ge looked at the itinerary on the calendar, and then said: "Okay, I have time before and after the 15th, I will come over on the 15th.

Also, I miss Wen Hui’s Huaiyang cuisine. Especially the squirrel mandarin fish and Liangxi crispy eel. I can always think of the taste after returning to Beijing.

If possible, you can arrange it for me. "

"No problem. For your sake, I decided to work hard for Wenhui and I will convince her." Zhang Xuan assured her.

Tao Ge smiled: "I'm afraid the two actors will be jealous."

Zhang Xuan thought to himself that you were right. If he were to work as a cow or horse, he would definitely be jealous, but his wife has to protect her face: "Shuang Ling is a woman who knows the general situation and has a big mind."

At this point, Zhang Xuan asked tentatively: "Which publishing company do you have access to in the UK?"

Tao Ge didn’t hide anything: “Both Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press have connections.

But your novel is in the science fiction genre, so I don’t think there is much hope that Cambridge University Press will take notice of you. "

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and then asked: "Is it cumbersome to publish novels abroad? Do you know the way?"

Tao Ge gave him reassurance: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Sister is still relatively familiar with it. Even if I can't handle it, I can still contact my friends over there for help.

The premise is that the publisher can take a fancy to your novel. "

Come on, from this tone, it's obvious that this bitch doesn't value her own science fiction novel.

But people stay in People's Literature every day, and their thinking is solidified, so they can't say anything.

However, Zhang Xuan didn't intend to say anything more, let alone give her any popular science, or change her opinion.

That’s a lot of effort, thankless, and tiring.

This is not advisable.

With his thoughts at this point, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think of Xie Qi.

She said she had contact with Penguin Publishing House in the UK.

Facing this world-famous publishing house, Zhang Xuan knew its reputation and felt some expectations for some reason.

After talking about the publishing of science fiction novels, Tao Ge changed the topic and talked about the main purpose of this time:

"Sister, I have two money orders in my hand right now. Guess how much they cost?"

Last time "Feng Sheng" published more than 3 million copies internationally and domestically, he earned 9.87 million in royalties.

This time, the new book "Lurking" was added. Not counting the "rumor", the "Lurning" novel alone has sold more than 3 million copies in China.

3 million copies, which does not include sales in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xuan guessed: "Is it 13 million?"

Tao Ge looked down at the two money orders in his hand, his emotions fluctuating a bit: "Yes, this time the royalties for your two books are as high as 13.47 million!

I really envy you. This is faster than robbing a bank. "

This tone of envy and jealousy.

A little bit sour.

But he was very satisfied, and it was the first time he saw this girl and felt emotional.

Not to mention, the sense of accomplishment is a bit overwhelming.

He was a little proud on the inside, but still calm as water on the outside. Zhang Xuan immediately smiled and said:

"Come on, you were born in the Imperial City and grew up under the Imperial City Wall. You can enter the Anchang Club whenever you want and leave whenever you want. What kind of world have you not seen? You don't want to belittle me for such a small amount of money."

Tao Ge said sincerely: "Sister, I've seen the world and it's true. But don't believe it when I tell you. My current salary is not enough for you to put your teeth in."

Zhang Xuan curled his lips and said, "It's meaningless for you to say that. Money doesn't count for me. Those who don't have to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation themselves are the real ones. I envy you."

You may not know that you have suffered from not being able to eat well and wear well for more than ten years by cutting down on clothes and going on a diet. "

Tao Ge joked: “Without this experience and accumulation, you wouldn’t be as successful as you are today.

As the saying goes, misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies, so just be content. "

Zhang Xuan was speechless, but still pretended to agree: "This is true."

The two chatted for a while, and just when Zhang Xuan was about to hang up, Tao Ge suddenly stopped him: "Don't hang up yet, I have something to tell you."

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment and said, "You tell me."

Tao Ge said: "Mr. Li, do you still remember?"

Zhang Xuan blurted out: "The former editor-in-chief of People's Literature?"

Tao Ge said, "Yes, that's him."

Zhang Xuan asked: "You suddenly mentioned Mr. Li to me. Did something happen?"

Tao Ge whispered: "Mr. Li is dying."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan remained silent and did not answer.

He knew that Tao Ge had something to say, so he waited patiently.

Sure enough, Tao Ge said, "He really likes your novels."

Zhang Xuan understood, "You want the hidden manuscript, right?"

When it came to the manuscript, Tao Ge was a little embarrassed to say it, but after struggling for a while, he still said: "I won't ask you for free. I will pay you for it at the market price."

Zhang Xuan asked: "Which edition do you want?"

Tao Ge said: "Keep the first draft and the final draft for yourself, just the middle one, I don't know."

Before she could finish her words, Zhang Xuan agreed happily: "Okay, next time you come over, you can bring me a copy."

Hearing what he said, Tao Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I will thank you on Mr. Li's behalf. I will give you this money together with your royalties when the time comes."

Zhang Xuan refused directly: "Don't ask me for money. It's pointless. Mr. Li is my nobleman and my boss. This is a gift from me to him."

It's just a pity that I can't go to the capital to visit his old man in a short time.

Let's do this, you buy something for me and go greet his old man. "

"Okay." Tao Ge was a little surprised. This is not a small sum of money. But after feeling Zhang Xuan's sincerity, he happily accepted it.

At this moment, she felt very respectable and felt that she had seen the right person.
