The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Chapter 350, very face-to-face, I read it right (please subscribe!)

  Tao Ge called.

   Having a good heart, Zhang Xuan answered the phone and asked, "Is there a result in the first round?"

   Tao Ge said: "There are results."

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

   Tao Ge said: "23 books, 8 books were brushed in the first round."

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

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

   Zhang Xuan followed with a smile and was very frank: "Fortunately, you don't call me, I won't take the initiative to think about it.

  You called and found out that ordinary people are ordinary people after all, they cannot be saints. "

  Tao Ge reassured: "Yours is the fifth place to advance, and the first few rounds should not be a problem for you."

   Zhang Xuan heard the words, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "How many movies do you plan to select this year?"

   Tao Ge said: "This sister really doesn't know. According to convention, there should be about 4 selections, and no more than 5 at most."

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

  Tao Ge pondered for a while: "I can't say that right now. It will take the next two rounds to fully see the clues. Now People's Literature is going all out on 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 by myself. I have no background and no connections, so I can't change anything at all.

  Since it is resignation, then simply choose to forget it, so as not to increase troubles in vain.

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

   Hearing that Xian knew Yayi, 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 to finish, about a week."

  Tao Ge looked at the itinerary on the calendar, and then said: "Okay, I have time around the 15th, I'll come over on the 15th.

  Also, my sister misses Wenhui's Huaiyang cuisine. Especially the squirrel mandarin fish and Liangxi crispy eel, the taste I can often remember after returning to Beijing.

  If possible, you can arrange it for my sister. "

   "No problem. For your sake, I decided to be a cow and a horse for Wen Hui, and I will definitely convince her." Zhang Xuan swore to assure her.

   Tao Ge smiled: "I'm afraid Shuangling will be jealous."

   Zhang Xuan thought that you really guessed right. If you were a cow and a horse, you would definitely be jealous, but her own woman has to protect her face: "Shuangling is a woman with general knowledge, and she has a big heart."

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

  Tao Ge did not hide: "Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press have connections.

   But your novels are sci-fi, and I don't think Cambridge University Press has much hope of seeing you. "

  Zhang Xuan thought for a while, and then asked: "Publishing novels abroad is cumbersome or not, do you know the way?"

  Tao Ge gave him a reassurance: "You don't have to worry about this, my sister is quite familiar with it, even if I can't figure it out, I can contact my friends over there for help.

   The premise is that the publisher can see your novel. "

   Well, listening to this tone, it's obvious that this **** doesn't like her science fiction novels.

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

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

   So much effort, thankless, and tired.

   This is not advisable.

  Thinking here, Zhang Xuan couldn't help thinking of Xie Qi.

   She said she had contact with Penguin Publishing UK.

   In the face of this world-renowned publishing house, Zhang Xuan is well aware of its reputation and has some inexplicable expectations in his heart.

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

   "Sister is holding two bills of exchange now, guess how much?"

   The last time "Wind Sound" published more than 3 million copies at home and abroad, and he had to pay 9.87 million royalties.

   And this time, the new book "Hidden" has been added, which is not considered "Wind". The "Hidden" novel alone has sold more than 3 million copies in China.

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

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

   Tao Ge looked down at the two bills of exchange in his hand, his mood fluctuated: "Yes, this time the royalties for your two books are as high as 13.47 million!

  Sister is really envious of you, this is faster than robbing a bank. "

   The tone of envy, jealousy and hate.

   A little 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 achievement is a little overwhelming.

   The inside is a little proud, but the surface is still calm as water, Zhang Xuan immediately smiled and said:

   "Come on, you were born in the imperial city and grew up under the imperial city wall. The Anchang Club is always in and out whenever you want. What kind of world have you never seen before? You don't have to humiliate me for this little money."

  Tao Ge said sincerely: "Sister has seen the world well. But don't believe it, my current salary is not enough for your teeth."

   Zhang Xuan pouted: "It's boring for you to say that. I'm not rich if I have money, those who don't need to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation are really capable, and I still envy you.

  You may not know that shrinking your clothes and dieting has been associated with the pain of not eating well and dressing well for more than ten years. "

  Tao Ge quipped: "If you didn't have this experience and accumulation, you wouldn't be where you are today.

   is the so-called misfortune and blessings rely on, blessings and misfortunes lie in, you can be content. "

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

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

   Zhang Xuan was stunned for a while, and said, "You say it."

   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, it is his old man."

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

   Tao Ge whispered, "Lao Li is dying."

   Hearing the words, Zhang Xuan was silent and did not answer.

   He knew that Tao Ge had something to say and waited for the next paragraph.

   Sure enough, Tao Ge said, "His old man likes your novels very much."

   Zhang Xuan understood, "You want a hidden manuscript, don't you?"

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

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

   Tao Ge said: "You keep the first draft and the final draft for yourself, and the middle one will do, I don't know."

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

   Hearing what he said, Tao Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I will thank you on behalf of Mr. Li. I will give you this money together with your royalties."

   Zhang Xuan directly refused: "Don't ask me for money, it's boring to ask for money. Mr. Li is my nobleman and my Bole, and this is what I gave him as a gift.

   It's just that I can't go to the capital to visit his old man for a short time, which is really a pity.

   Well, buy something for me, go and 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 was happy to accept it.

   At this moment, she felt very face, and felt that she was not wrong.
