February 26th, the sixth day of the second lunar month.

Ten:30 am.

Fuwan, Liyuan International Airport.

A rare clear sky.

Flight ZH1005 from Xiangjiang to Fuwan landed on time.

Computer engineer An Guohao, carrying a small trolley case, couldn't wait to leave the plane. As soon as he got out of the hall, he headed straight to the airport bookstore.

Today is Friday, and the novel "The Legend of Qin" in "Fuwan Star" has been serialized again!

Since he accidentally saw "The Legend of Qin" serialized by "Fuwan Star" more than a month ago, An Guohao has been attracted by this time-travel martial arts novel with a compact plot.

Later, I specially read the previous "Fuwan Star" and read the serialization of this novel from the beginning. But it was fine if I didn't read it. As soon as I read it, An Guohao was directly fascinated!

As a hardcore martial arts novel fan, An Guohao hasn't read such a novel that makes him have a strong desire to read for a long time. There are only one, three, and five three issues of the Star Newspaper every week, which really fosters his appetite. He wishes to finish reading this novel in one breath!

For this reason, he specially called the Star News hotline to ask if there was a complete version of "The Legend of Qin" serialized in the newspapers and magazines. As a result, he got no answer! Following the Star News every week is the only way to let him read "The Legend of Qin".

This is really greedy for An Guohao!

An Guohao really admires the writing skills of Du Xinghe, the author of this novel. Since he can only read it every week, An Guohao wants to see if this new writer named Du Xinghe has any other novels to read.

Called the Star News hotline again, but An Guohao got another amazing news: "The Legend of Qin" was actually Du Xinghe's first novel! And it is a novel that is being created. At present, there is no other Du Xinghe's work to show him!

An Guohao did not regret not being able to see other Du Xinghe's works, but was extremely surprised that this was a virgin novel written by a newcomer. This was really incredible for An Guohao!

In his debut work, he can have this sophisticated sense of rhythm, a strong sense of substitution, a fascinating and tense plot, as well as a profound cultural heritage and historical view. Du Xinghe is simply a genius!

Later, An Guohao also received even more shocking news. "Du Xinghe", the author of "Qing Qin", was not a pseudonym, but his real name was Du Xinghe! That is, the boss of the Yunshi Record Company, who signed Fang Yajun, - the legendary genius music boy - Du Xinghe!

This was really beyond An Guohao's expectations!

As a man who is in his thirties, An Guohao, like most men around thirty years old, listens to Fang Yajun's songs and walks through his youth.

In that era of youthful spirit, Fang Yajun, who emerged from nowhere, was the undisputed dream lover in the hearts of these young men, including men who were older than them, and they had a deep goddess complex with Fang Yajun in their hearts.

In the Chinese music scene of that era, Fang Yajun's immortal posture and heavenly sound were as beautiful as a dream.

Even though he had been hiding for many years, the every move of the goddess Fang Yajun still touched the hearts of many men.

An Guohao is one of them.

Thinking back to the beginning, when I saw Fang Yajun signing a small record company called Yunshi in the news, An Guohao really felt sad that a superstar was about to die. He thought Fang Yajun was out of date, otherwise why wouldn't he sign a big record company?

Later, I searched for a lot of gossip magazines to learn about this small record company called Yunshi. At this time, An Guohao discovered the small boss of this record company, Du Xinghe, who seemed to be a very controversial figure.

Many gossip magazines analyze that Du Xinghe is a puppet, just a hype genius.

However, mainstream entertainment magazines have a pretty positive review of Du Xinghe. Although the articles are very small, it is basically said that Du Xinghe is a talented musician.

During interviews with Fang Yajun from various media outlets, Fang Yajun also mentioned many times that Du Xinghe's musical talent is extremely outstanding. She signed to Yun World because of her appreciation of Du Xinghe's musical talent.

This made An Guohao quite curious about Du Xinghe.

Having entered society for many years, An Guohao has long been a brainless fan in the entertainment industry who listens to the wind and listens to the rain. He is just the true and false of the entertainment industry, right and wrong, grievances, smoke, smoke, fog, and fog. An Guohao cannot see through it, and he has no interest in seeing it through it.

He didn't know what the background of Yunshi and Du Xinghe was, but out of the other Fang Yajun's love, he still bought a "Little Bird" album produced by Yunshi, which is considered to be a new owner who supports Fang Yajun.

He originally wanted to buy two more albums produced by Yunshi to listen to, but in the largest three-yuan record store in Fuwan, he could only buy an album called "Little Bird" under the banner of Yunshi, so he couldn't support it too much.

Like An Guohao, many people who like Fang Yajun have bought the single "Little Bird" to support it.

Fang Yajun has also made an indelible boost to the sales list of "Little Bird" in the past two months to dominate the Chinese music scene.

An Guohao likes the song "Little Bird", but the songwriter of this song is Xu Nuo. Only the arrangement column contains Du Xinghe's name, so he can't tell what kind of musical talent Du Xinghe has, which can be appreciated by mainstream entertainment media, including Fang Yajun himself.

An Guohao has always been very curious about Du Xinghe, a mysterious halo boy. When he first read "The Legend of Qin", he thought that the author of the novel, "Du Xinghe", was not Du Xinghe in the Yunshi world. You should know that most of the writers who write novels publish their works under pseudonyms, and few people publish their works under real names, especially those who write martial arts novels.

But unexpectedly, Du Xinghe actually published a novel under his real name, which really surprised An Guohao!

At the same time, An Guohao also understood a little why Fang Yajun admired this genius boy.

If it weren't for hype, "The Legend of Qin" was really written by Du Xinghe himself, then Du Xinghe is definitely an absolute genius!

Such a serialized novel full of imagination and even groundbreaking is really good for An Guohao. Over the past month, An Guohao has bought "Star" early on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays every week to read this novel.

This time he went to Xiangjiang for three days on business trip, but he didn't catch up with him on Wednesday's "Star" serialization, but on the day he traveled, he had already traveled to the airport bookstore and asked the staff to leave him a copy of the "Fuwan Star" on Wednesday.

That day, An Guohao's first thing was to rush to the airport bookstore to read the latest "The Legend of Qin"!

No wonder An Guohao is so eager to see the latest plot of "The Legend of Qin", which is a serialization on Wednesday and Friday. It is about Xiang Shaolong meeting Ji Yanran for the first time!

The encounter and confrontation between heroes and beauty is always the most attractive plot to readers.

In the Wednesday issue, it was written that Xiang Shaolong met Ji Yanran, who was known as the number one talented woman in the Warring States Period, and there was also a Xiao Wei Mou slapped Xiang Shaolong in the face. Xiang Shaolong used modern theories to refute Xiao Wei Mou's theory of beasts. This was a wonderful scene that had never appeared in the past martial arts novels. An Guohao was so happy to read.

The subsequent serialization on Friday talked about Xiang Shaolong’s battle with heroes in Xiaozhu, Yahu, debated moral governance and rule of law, and threw out the idea of ​​the separation of powers that was even more shocking to the ancients and the idea of ​​the king breaking the law and the common people, so that Ji Yanran could listen to it directly! It was also for readers like An Guohao to be fooled!

While walking outside the airport, he was reading the serialization of "The Legend of Qin". When he saw Ji Yanran's pretty eyes lit up, An Guohao was so happy that he wanted to scream! It was so wonderful!

An Guohao didn't know. In the seat area of ​​the rest hall he had just walked, he was sitting at the author of "The Legend of Qin" that brought him great pleasure to read, Du Xinghe,!

A black casual jacket, pair of black trousers and a pair of black leather shoes, her mature outfit makes Du Xinghe sit in the rest seat, which is very inconspicuous.

Although he had just cut his mental short hair a few days ago, his quiet expression of holding his chest and closing his eyes to rest was like a middle-aged man who worked overtime day and night but didn't sleep much at night.

Du Xinghe was indeed a little tired at this moment. Because he really didn't sleep much last night, he copied Master Jin's "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" in his notebook. He slept from 11 o'clock in the evening to 4 o'clock in the morning for more than an hour, and then he got up to sniff his voice. After that, he felt that he was still energetic, so he rushed to the time to continue Copying "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" and drove to the airport at 8:30.

Unlike "The Legend of Qin", you can record and organize the sounds for others. Jin's fourteen martial arts classics have been defined as his father's last works, so it is impossible to record and organize the sounds for others, otherwise it would be impossible to explain them at all. So he had to work hard to type and organize the sounds.

He hadn't coded so many words before, and he didn't think it was very tiring to use a computer to code, but after a few days of real code, he realized that this was really a tiring thing!

If it weren't for the super brute force loaded by the super will in his body, he wouldn't be able to withstand such high-intensity work!

It seems that just move your fingers at this job, but it took him a few hours to realize that this is definitely a job that is exhausted and tired, and the intensity is no worse than the physical work of bricks on the construction site!

He really couldn't imagine what kind of torture the online writers who wrote and composed stories every day in the previous plane were suffering every day!

They are not like him. They just need to copy the text from their minds. They also have to conceive novels! They have to code them out later! They sit in front of the computer for a day, and this thing will be fatal!

I didn't know how hard I worked. Now I copied hundreds of thousands of words from my mind. Du Xinghe was so tired that he vomited blood. He finally knew how hard the online writers who had brought him a lot of happiness were when they created.

In fact, even if they spend money to buy their works, it will cost five or six yuan a month. For many people, the five or six yuan, let alone a pack of cigarettes, may be just the price of one cigarette.

Smoking less cigarettes and buying genuine works to read is good for the body, and it can also support the hard work of online writers, and win two goals in one fell swoop.

Du Xinghe reads online novels on the previous plane. Most of the time, he doesn't read them, but downloads the collection package of the completed online books to read them. Most of the time he reads them was pirated. He now regrets his behavior.

At that time, he felt that there was no need to spend money on reading such novels. It was not like them who wrote such novels. They needed to spend a lot of time and energy to create. They had to pay a lot of creative costs.

Now that he has coded so many words himself, he realizes that the cost of online creation is greater than that of musicians like them! They spend more on talent and production when making music, while online writers spend their lives writing novels! (time, health)

It's a bit unreasonable that someone is writing novels with his life, but he ignores the value of his works.

If he can go back to the previous plane, he will definitely support the authentic version and drink less. He can support an author's hard work on sitting in front of the computer for a month, and he thinks he can still do it.

Fortunately, the authentic protection awareness of this plane is relatively strong, so this problem is unlikely. Compared to this plane, the rise of online novels should be even faster after the Internet is flourishing!

Of course, these are not what he needs to consider now. His first consideration is to quickly copy all fourteen works of Jin.

After the newspaper series was published, the situation of "Xuan Qin Ji" being hotly pursued by readers is far beyond his expectations and the editorial department of "Star". Especially in recent days, the novel is being serialized to the climax of stealing the official record of the Shandong Gong. Readers can't wait to see the story behind it. The hotline of "Star" will be blown up in the past two days! Readers come every day to ask if there are any publications in this novel.

Such a hot consultation situation reminded the editorial department of the Star Newspaper that later became the popular urban novel "Starlight and Moonlight" serialized in their novel serial section two years ago.

At the beginning, "Starlight and Moonlight" was serialized for nearly three months. A large number of readers asked about the publication of the novel.

"The Legend of Qin" has been serialized for more than a month, and thousands of inquiries have been called in. This popularity has far exceeded that of "Starlight and Moonlight"!

People in the editorial department of "Star" need not think that such a hot market reflection indicates that this "The Legend of Qin" will be a super hot novel!

Liu Jingwei, the editor-in-chief of the serialized page of the "Star News" novel. He has passed all the chapters of "The Legend of Qin", and he is more optimistic about the prospects of this novel. He has contacted Cheng Jiaren and is preparing to recommend and publish the novel to Xingyue Culture Publishing House. But Jiaren rejected Liu Jingwei's kindness because the novel will be published by Yunshi Publishing House.

Cheng Jiaren has reached an agreement with Liu Jingwei, and Liu Jingwei will help to open up the distribution and channel relationship of Xingyue Culture Publishing House. This book is unilaterally published and packaged and promoted by Xingyue Culture under the banner of joint publication of Yunshi and Xingyue Culture.

According to the plan, after two months, after accumulating more popularity in the "Star" novel serialization section, the first ten novels of "The Legend of Qin" will be released collectively, with three volumes released every month and within five months.

Originally, based on industry experience, Liu Jingwei planned to launch five volumes to the market first, and then one volume will be released every month, and it will take a year and a half to produce the complete novel to whet the readers' appetite.

What Du Xinghe hates the most is what makes readers' appetite. Moreover, Yun World is short of money now, so he has to make money by relying on this novel! So he wanted to release all twenty-five volumes in one go so that everyone can read enough at once!

Unfortunately, doing so will harm the interests of the serialized version of "Star" and will also affect the sales of novels. You should know that if you publish twenty-five volumes of novels at one time, even if you set a relatively low price, 10 yuan per book, the price of buying them all is quite high. This will eliminate some potential purchasing power like students. If you publish one by one, readers will be most enthusiastic about purchasing.

After hearing Liu Jingwei's explanation, Du Xinghe thought about it and thought that it was the same. Although he did not understand the publishing industry, he could still understand this truth.

This is like the feelings written by an author in an online novel he had read before. It said that many readers wanted to save the novel and read it, but as they saved it, they found that the novel had saved millions of words. They wanted to support the genuine version, but it was too expensive to buy it at one time, so they had to watch the pirated version... I don’t know if this is an excuse for readers to read the pirated version, but in short, there are many such people.

Maybe the same is true for physical novels. So many are released at once, which will affect sales.

So Du Xinghe discussed with Xingyue Culture Publishing House to reach the current agreement. Both parties made a concession and completed all twenty-five volumes of novels within half a year.

As for the distribution of rights, Du Xinghe also asked Cheng Jiaren to reach a cooperation agreement on behalf of Yunshi Publishing House and Xingyue Publishing House represented by Liu Jingwei.

Since Yunshi Publishing House has not yet set up a team, this grand masterpiece has been fully represented by Xingyue Culture Publishing House from printing and layout to the final distribution and promotion work, but the book prints the words jointly published by Yunshi and Xingyue Culture. Of course, the premise for printing this way is that Yunshi Publishing House can complete all the transfer procedures within two months and have the qualifications for publishing and distribution.

The final royalty of the sales is divided by Yunshi, which includes Du Xinghe's remuneration, and Xingyue Culture Publishing House receives 70%. During this period, all the packaging, publicity, promotion, and printing and publishing expenses of "Xu Qin Ji" were all responsible for Xingyue Culture Publishing House, and the promotion and distribution expenses must not be less than 5 million. Yunshi Publishing House is only responsible for providing Du Xinghe's original manuscripts. There is no need to pay another penny.

Paying 5 million to produce a 25-volume novel is actually not a big deal for a large publisher in this plane. However, given that Du Xinghe, a new writer like Du Xinghe, and the sign of joint publishing, such a deal is not small for Xingyue Culture Publishing House.

Xingyue Culture Publishing House is very optimistic about the market prospects of the novel "The Legend of Qin", so it reached such an agreement with Yunshi.

As far as Liu Jingwei is concerned, the annual sales of this novel will not be less than 1 million copies, and all 25 copies will be released, which may create a single martial arts novel with the highest annual sales!
