"Seven percent."

"Ten percent mentioned."

Lu Bei said without hesitation. This is the price of many established best-selling authors. It is reasonable to say that Chu Kuang's reputation is almost meaningless for the time being, but Lu Bei is sure that the popularity of Chu Kuang's new book will definitely not be lower than the previous "Net King". ", even though he has only read a lot of content now.

"understood."

Old Bear was not surprised at all.

His first reaction after reading "Zhu Xian" was that this novel was about to become popular.

Old Xiong never thought that Xianxia novels could be written like this!

He was shocked!

This is also the reason why he rushed out of the meeting room like crazy before!

He had to come forward in person to greet various departments including the Propaganda Department and the Publishing Department, and he had to attract the attention of the editor-in-chief so that the editor-in-chief could understand how good the novel was.

"correct."

Just when Old Xiong was about to leave, Lu Bei suddenly got a little angry and said, "I asked you to get Chu Kuang's signature last time, why didn't you get it?"

The old bear froze.

He completely forgot about it, and he believed that the editor-in-chief also forgot about it, but the appearance of "Zhu Xian" reminded him of it.

……

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know the reaction "Zhu Xian" caused in the editorial department, but he received a call from Yang Feng after school at night.

"Teacher Chu Kuang!"

Yang Feng clearly noticed that the tone of his conversation with Chu Kuang was becoming more and more humble: "Your new writing is simply amazing. The company is considering publishing the first volume of "Zhu Xian" next month. I don't know your opinion. how?"

It was not like this before.

If it was before, Yang Feng would probably say something like this: "Chu Kuang, congratulations, your novel has passed the review of our editorial department, and our company will arrange for the publication of this novel next month."

Means the same.

It's just that the attitude is different.

Lin Yuan naturally couldn't hear the subtle changes in the other party's attitude.

He was as concise as ever: "It can be published, when will the contract be signed?"

"That's it!"

Yang Feng said with a smile: "The company has decided to increase the royalties of your novels to [-]%, which is a very high price in the industry. May I ask what else you need us to do..."

"very good!"

Lin Yuan raised his voice subconsciously.

Yang Feng was a little surprised. Didn't Chu Kuang not love money? Why did he look elated when he heard that royalties can increase the price?

Yes.

Money represents many meanings.

Perhaps what Mr. Chu Kuang cares about is not the increase in royalties at all, but the company's recognition of his writing ability and the company's sincerity expressed through money!

Money has a price.

Sincerity is priceless.

Moreover, what he wrote this time is the theme of Xianxia, ​​and he must have suffered a certain amount of psychological pressure when writing, so naturally he needs various forms of approval.

Think of this.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "It's good that you are satisfied, and I must inform you that the company will start the pre-sale promotion of "Zhu Xian" soon!"

"Ah."

"That's it?"

"so be it."

Lin Yuan hung up the phone in a good mood.

Lin Yuan is very satisfied that Yinlan Library can always take the initiative to raise prices.

It seems that choosing to continue to cooperate with Yinlan Library is indeed a good decision.

Should the price be raised in the future?

Go back and ask your sister what she said.

My sister Lin Xuan is an expert in the publishing industry, so she should understand it better.

Speaking of which, Lin Yuan also considered sending "Zhu Xian" to his sister's publishing house,

However, after Lin Yuan investigated, he found that the scale of his sister's publishing house was not large enough, and it was definitely not as good as Yinlan Bookstore in terms of making money, so Lin Yuan gave up.

Compared to making money for my sister, of course making money is more important.

As for the elder sister, the big deal is to share some of the money with her.

She worked hard to earn performance in order to get a higher salary, and Lin Yuan still understood this reason.

My sister must also like money more.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money?

And it was the night when Lin Yuan and Yang Feng finished talking on the phone.

On the official website of Yinlan Bookstore, the news that the writer Chu Kuang will release a new book in July has finally been posted, which can be regarded as a warm-up mode for the promotion of the new book.

As soon as the news came out.

Chu Kuang's book fans are excited!

--------

ps: After dinner, I will continue to write and add updates. It may be slow, so don't worry.

Chapter 113 Redefine Xianxia

Although the previous "Net King" was only serialized for a few months, and even ended in less than half a year, Chu Kuang has accumulated some fans during the serialization of this novel, and these fans have been paying attention to the Yinlan library. Waiting for the news of Chu Kuang's new book, so the group of people who saw Chu Kuang's new book release were quite excited and looking forward to it.

"Faster than I thought."

It has not been long since the end of "The King of the Internet". Most of the other authors will rest for a few months after finishing the book, but Chu Kuang doesn't seem to plan to rest, and has rushed out new books without stopping.

"I just like Chu Kuang's inpunctuality!"

"Because "Network" fell in love with competitive novels. After Chu Kuang's work was finished, I found a lot of similar novels to read. There are quite a lot of people following him in the market, but compared to Chu Kuang, I read other people's novels. Competitive novels always feel almost meaningless.”

"After all, Chu Kuang is the Patriarch!"

"Chu Kuang's new book is still competitive."

"Should I ask if Chu Kuang's new book is still based?"

"Hahahahahahahaha, I feel like the good Qingxue tennis club has been ruined by you. You say that they are gay every day, and it is obviously a serious tennis competition novel (serious face)."

"..."

Because "The King of the Net" is a male-oriented novel, the characters in the Qing Xue Tennis Club are perfectly shaped in the novel, and there are some interesting daily routines in this novel. A group of men sweat and get along with each other every day, so many readers joked that This novel is a rotten text in a competitive cloak.

Because of this attribute.

"Net King", which is obviously a male-oriented novel, has attracted many female fans. Of course, these female fans don't care about the competition in the novel. They only pay attention to the daily interactions of the characters. It was a joy to watch.

That's why the world values ​​copyright.

If there were no copyright disputes, I'm afraid that the fans of "Net King" would have been flying all over the sky. Never underestimate the creative ability of rotten girls. It really made them let go of writing and feed a few novel websites that boys probably wouldn't click on. No problem.

But worth mentioning.

Almost fans thought that Chu Kuang would continue to write about sports and sports. After all, the market for this subject was created by Chu Kuang himself. He would never give up the achievements of his "Net King" after he opened up a big market. Bar?

This is a matter of course logic.

Moreover, the writer is still very concerned about the stability of fans. The pseudonym Chu Kuang is in the field of fantasy novels, and it is firmly linked to sports novels. If he really wants to change the subject matter, fans may not necessarily buy it.

It's not just fans who think so.

Other companies in the publishing industry also think so. After all, sports competition is no longer an unpopular category. Compared with the kingly genre, although it is still a niche, it is not a problem for this niche market to support a few best-selling books.

Just keep writing about the subject.

No matter how bad Chu Kuang is, he can still get good sales. Besides, with Chu Kuang's ability to write about sports competitions, is it just a good sales volume? The publishing companies in the industry will not underestimate Chu Kuang. Everyone tries to look up to him. He glanced.

Maybe it's another "Net King"!

Everyone was even a little flustered, especially some publishers who competed fiercely with Yinlan Bookstore, because Chu Kuang's new book was opened too fast. How can someone open a new book without taking a break after the old book is finished?

Are you a tentacle monster?

If there is another work that sells well enough, then the end of "The King of Net" is not only not a bad thing for Yinlan library, but a good thing, because it means that Yinlan library has produced another high-quality novel. work!

……

Chu Kuang is indeed a tentacle monster. There is no wrong guess in this industry, but everyone guessed one thing wrong, that is, Chu Kuang's new book does not continue to write about sports and sports, but two things that make everyone look a little strange at first glance. subject matter:

Xian Xiawen!

The Silver Blue Bookstore didn't sell it. They announced the news that Chu Kuang was going to release a new book that night. The next day's website banner announced the subject of Chu Kuang's new book, and they also spread a huge amount of publicity through various channels, so that Chu Kuang The fans were stunned for several seconds.

"What the hell?"

"Xianxia novel?"

"Not a competitive essay?"

"Why don't you continue to write about sports competitions, and clearly write about this type of super talented people. Even if you don't write about tennis, I can completely accept it if you change it to basketball or football!"

"Isn't the leap too big?"

"This is a direct jump from the hot-blooded sports arena to "War of Immortals and Demons". The problem is that I really don't like watching Xianxia. Such an ancient theme has long been eliminated. What is Chu Kuang thinking?"

"..."

It is true that no one has written Xianxia, ​​but the influence of "War of Immortals and Demons" is still not small. This novel was even made into a TV series. It is a childhood memory of many people. Everyone's concept of Xianxia basically comes from this novel. Works many years ago.

Fans are dumbfounded.

The industry is actually a bit confused, they carefully looked at the banner of the Yinlan library, it does say that Chu Kuang's new book is a fairy tale theme, and the slogan is very arrogant, just a few words:

"Zhu Xian will be released on July [-]st!"

"See how Chu Kuang redefines Xianxia!"

Many people in the industry are a little bit drummed in their hearts. It’s okay to say that they are not optimistic. Yinlan Bookstore is not stupid. If Chu Kuang’s writing is really so rubbish, why would their company spend so much time promoting Chu Kuang’s new book? , Just kill the manuscript.

But how good is Chu Kuang's writing?

How good can Xianxia novels be?

As for the so-called redefinition of Xian Xia, everyone in the family knows this kind of words and just read it. How can there be an advertisement slogan that doesn't boast a few words?

"I understand."

A certain industry insider guessed: "Maybe this novel called "Zhu Xian" is not bad. As you know, there are always some novels that are in the middle level. The author of this novel is Chu Kuang, Yinlan Library definitely doesn’t want to offend Chu Kuang, after all Chu Kuang’s ability is obvious to all, so why don’t you just give Chu Kuang a chance?”

Best-selling authors have a voice.

The manuscripts of non-best-selling authors will be killed if the editor kills them, but even if the manuscripts of best-selling authors are not particularly well-written, the editors will not kill them easily, especially when the best-selling authors themselves insist on publishing. In order not to offend the other party, the publishing house will probably give it a chance.

In case the fire out?

The editor's gaze is not 100% accurate. There are indeed some examples of manuscripts that were rejected by the No. [-] publishing house, but were published by the No. [-] publishing house and sold well. Do you like it?

Chu Kuang seems to like this.

He insisted on writing challenging ones.

Most people in the industry accepted this statement, but the editor-in-chief of Dingsheng Dingsheng Publishing House always felt that things were not so simple, because the publicity given by Yinlan Bookstore was too grand, if it was to perfunctory Chu Kuang, there was no need to do it this level.

"Is there a bomb hidden in it?"

No wonder the editor-in-chief of Dingsheng Publishing House is suspicious, mainly because "Net King" slapped him in the face once. People of his level will have a long memory after being slapped once, unlike some people who have been slapped in the face once. Looking at some things with old eyes, he believes that more than one person is worried.

"wrong!"
