Rebirth: Starting From the Confession

Chapter 278

Du Ying interrupted in due course: “Have you ever thought that your novel would be liked by a publishing house?”

“Have!”

Fang Yi nodded and smiled: “I am more confident. Before I started writing, I thought that it would be published.”

This is half true.

Before writing, he did know that it would be published, but the reason was the foresight of the rebirth.

“I heard that this book was originally serialized on the Internet?” Du Ying continued to ask.

Obviously, she has done enough preparations.

Fang Yi replied: “Yes!”

Du Ying curiously asked: “Why did you choose this way? It stands to reason that if you want to publish, shouldn’t you directly submit it to the publishing house?”

“It was a deliberate decision for me to serialize the novel on the Internet. First of all, as a long horror novel with no reputation and a genre that is very different from traditional novels, if you submit it directly to the publishing house, it is no exaggeration to say that it is possible to be rejected. The sex is as high as 100%.”

Fang Yi paused and continued: “At this time, Rongshuxia, as the first domestic literary website, has attracted a large number of readers and has maintained in-depth cooperation with several publishing houses. Therefore, I will serialize the novel temporarily. On the website under the Banyan Tree, you can not only accumulate popularity, but also contact the publishing house through the website.”

After listening to his words, some people in Jiang Xingxue’s eyes flashed with strange colors.

Because this operation is a bit too showy in their opinion.

Du Ying was taken aback for a moment. After she recovered, she was slightly surprised and said: “This seems to be a very good business operation. Through a series of packaging promotion, she successfully sold her products at a high price.”

“Ms. Du has a high sense of business smell.” Fang Yi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

To be honest, she can think of this weight, indicating that she has a little business talent.

Du Ying shook her head and laughed and said: “I’m just Zhuge Liang afterwards. Instead of facing you, I will probably only hold the idea that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and submit to the publishing house tirelessly over and over again.”

It seemed that she felt that the topic was a bit biased, so she hurriedly pulled the topic back and asked: “Then, did you contact the publishing house smoothly?”

“In fact, the publisher contacted me on the initiative.” Fang Yi chuckled lightly.

“Oh? Is it because your book is very popular on the Internet?” Du Ying was slightly surprised.

Fang Yi replied: “There is a part of the reason, but more importantly, after a period of serialization, I stopped updating.”

“Is the breaker part of your packaging and promotion?” Du Ying asked curiously.

Fang Yi shook his head and spread his hands: “It’s not, it’s mainly because I don’t have money to surf the Internet!”

Um?

Du Ying was taken aback for a while, and when they recovered, they laughed out loud.

The main reason is that the contrast is a bit big. The last second was still planning, but the next second was interrupted due to internet charges. This strong contrast created a unique sense of joy.

Interesting, but not deliberately.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yi explained: “To be honest, the current internet fee is indeed too expensive. The internet fee of our computer room in Jiangzhen City is as high as 15 yuan an hour. At that time, my pocket money for a month was only enough. 10 hours of internet.”

Reducing her smile, Du Ying continued to ask: “Then the publisher contacted you?”

“That’s not true. The readers were the first. They couldn’t contact me, so they could only call the editorial department of the website. Because too many readers called, the editor under the banyan tree suggested that the publisher contact me as soon as possible, otherwise they It’s not working properly anymore.”

After Fang Yi said, Du Ying smiled again.

“Can you tell me how much your contribution fee is? I believe the audience in front of the TV should also be very curious.” Du Ying asked with a smile.

“Because I haven’t said hello to the publisher, I can only say a rough figure, which is less than 10,000 after tax.”

hiss!

As soon as the voice fell, a series of inhalation sounds were heard.

Du Ying suppressed her surprise and asked, “How many words does this novel have?”

“More than three million.”

“Even if the cost of the manuscript is calculated at one million, after this calculation, there are still three hundred thousand words, right?”

Let alone Du Ying, even the three Jiang Xingxue’s eyes flashed with shock.

The manuscript fee of three hundred thousand words is already a very high price.

Wang Shuo is awesome, right?

The cost of writing a manuscript now is only 500 thousand words.

The point is that the manuscripts he writes are also short stories or some essays, two or three thousand words are great.

And Fang Yi, a full 3 million words.

Who can stand this?

Seeing their expression, Fang Yi explained: “It’s not so exaggerated. The reason for the high cost of manuscripts is that in addition to text copyright, it also includes all copyrights of film, animation, sound… and so on.”

“｀ ¨It’s really not that expensive after this calculation.”

Although Du Ying didn’t know much about sound and animation, after hearing such a long series of copyrights, she suddenly felt that it was not as exaggerated as before.

“But it’s amazing. The first time I wrote a book in my life, I published it smoothly and earned so much manuscript fees. What was it like at that time?” Du Ying continued to control the rhythm.

Fang Yi said indifferently, “It’s okay, because nothing unexpected happened from beginning to end.”

“You mean, including the manuscript fee is in your expectation?”

“Yes!”

Fang Yi smiled slightly and took a sip of coffee.

Du Ying was really shocked now, but after all, she was experienced, and she was able to hide the shock in her heart very well.

At the same time, a pair of eyes fixed on Fang Yi, as if trying to see if he was lying.

Facing Fang Yi’s confident eyes, Du Ying felt that there was a high probability that he was telling the truth.

If this is the case, then the young man in front of him is a bit scary!

She took a sip of coffee and calmed down a bit. She smiled and said, “More than one million, let alone a high school student who just took the college entrance examination, even for most people. It’s a huge sum of money in the true sense.”

“Fang Yi, what did you buy first when you got that huge amount of manuscript fee?”

Fang Yi replied: “The laptop and mobile phone also brought the network cable to the home.”

“Have you ever thought about giving off to your parents?” Du Ying’s question began to sharpen again, trying to create a topic.

“Of course!”

Fang Yi chuckled: “I plan to send a commercial house, but they didn’t want it.”

The corners of Du Ying’s mouth twitched insignificantly, and it was okay to send the house away…
