Chapter 93 If this happens again, give up the book
Many years later, Liu Jingting stood on the balcony of an office building in Jianghai, and would definitely think of this Christmas morning when he was alone watching the snow by the window.
I just talked about the old pitfalls of new books with Qianhong President Lu Yichou, about the release of "Seven Swords", about the possibility of signing a sales meeting with Yishui'an, and about the ending of "The Swords"...
Liu Jingting still tactfully rejected the signing party, and even Lu Yichou made a concession to only a small book club, but Liu Jingting still refused. One reason, he joined forces with Yishui'an, it was impossible for a book club to be small, and the other reason, Lu Yichou seemed to be concessioning, but it was still an offensive. When signing the initial contract, he told Boss Lu that not to sign a party was a promise, but Lu Yichou was the businessman's instinct and thought that time could smooth out some agreements and negotiate again.
At the end of this topic, Lu Yichou still performed his own embarrassment and helplessness in a scheming manner. However, his methods of laying the groundwork for later persuasion could not be hidden from Liu Jingting, who just said sincerely for his understanding and left this topic behind.
Then there is the ending of "The Sword of the Mandarin Duck". This story is actually very simple. Four funny thieves with low martial arts skills blocked the road and robbed them. They met a top-notch couple, a scholar and a girl. The top-notch couple had a powerful "couple sword technique". However, because the two quarreled constantly, they violated the true meaning of the sword technique and could not exert the power of this sword technique. In order to deal with the strong enemy, the couple passed the sword technique to the scholar and the girl. The scholar practiced sword to fight the enemy, and secretly felt affection. Then the scholar discovered that one of the girls' mothers was his biological mother...
The manuscript that Liu Jingting sent to Qianhong was over. Lu Yichou had been brainstorming for a long time. The ending was that the scholar and the girl were half-sister relationships. If a happy ending was to arrange a happy ending, the ideal way was to join hands on the hero and heroine to wander around the world. Throw morality, cold eyes, and saliva behind her.
This speculation is undoubtedly reasonable, but it still does not match the tone of the whole story. Generally speaking, the male and female protagonists in martial arts novels finally choose to wander away and wander around the world. They are exhausted physically and mentally after experiencing major changes. The so-called "stay away from these right and wrong in the world and live a few days of ordinary people's lives", such as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu who had been in love for sixteen years and the battle in Xiangyang. For example, Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong who had experienced the marriage of a loved one and had the ultimate decisive battle with **oss...
The mandarin duck sword does not have these problems, so it seems very abrupt to make this arrangement, which is the so-called inconsistent situation.
Liu Jingting did not make too much judgment on Lu Yichou's conclusion, and only said that after New Year's Day, he would hand over the end of the story. Then the conversation between the two came to an end.
...
"I'm so cooperative, right?" Liu Jingting looked at the name of the person on the screen of his phone and said in a nonsensical tone. Then he connected.
"Merry Christmas."
The vibrant voice of the second young master of the Gong family sounded in his ears. It seemed that he was in a good mood.
"Happy together, it's logical that you shouldn't have time today."
"You mean the TV series is on the air?"
"Of course not. You should be the one who is a member of your family today." Liu Jingting was of course referring to Wang Qianqian.
"Haha, where are you on the way?"
“There is an exam today.”
"Yes, senior high school."
"The greetings are over. Let's talk about it."
"How can I say this? I just call to greet you by phone, but since I have said this, I will mention it casually. How is the new book?" Perhaps because I realized my shamelessness, Gong Chengen asked this question a little unnaturally. I will meet Wang Qianqian later. If I find out some news about Gu Yongsheng's new book in advance, I can also show my skills in front of my sweetheart.
"The New Year's Day will be posted on "The Great Rivers and Lakes", but I left some tails to play games and entertainment with everyone."
"This time..."
"Pure comedy, don't worry."
"I believe in you, and then "The Sword of Yue Girl" will be broadcast at 7:40 tonight. You can take the time to watch it. It's not that my lover shows Xi Shi. It's really good. Qianqian will definitely become a very powerful screenwriter or writer in the future."
"This evaluation is very fair and objective." Liu Jingting smiled.
Gong Chengen didn't go into the sarcasm in Liu Jingting's words and said, "I just bought your "Seven Swords". Before I could read it, I read the news and said that the first print was just enough for pre-sales. Congratulations, two super bestsellers a year, are you not going to leave a way out for other authors?"
"It's just martial arts, so it's not so exaggerating," suddenly felt a move in my heart, and thought of something, and said, "There's something that Wang Qianqian may not have told you yet, I want to tell you in advance."
"Well, what's the matter?" Gong Chengen's tone became serious when he heard that it was related to Wang Qianqian.
"After "The White Horse Roaring the West Wind" came out, Wang Qianqian called me and told you this."
"Um."
"She was not in a good mood after reading the book, and thought it was my fault..."
Gong Chengen smiled knowingly.
Liu Jingting continued: "So, she hopes that I can write you a script as compensation."
Gong Chengen heard this and couldn't help but feel surprised and asked, "She really said that?"
"I didn't lie to you."
"This--well, I know, but you don't have to make things difficult for her. She has that kind of personality, and you don't have to take her words seriously."
"I took it seriously," Liu Jingting chuckled, "Of course, it's not because of her words, but because I happened to have such an idea recently, which is a coincidence."
"Then, do you mean to write the script directly?"
"Where can I write scripts? It's a novel that is closer to a movie script. I wonder if Mr. Gong is interested?"
"Young Master Gu is joking. After "The Sword of Yue Girl" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" come out, I don't know how many people will line up to find you to cooperate. So, how are you going to do this script?"
"My idea is to serialize it in the magazine first, but before that, I want you to release a message first and then finalize the details of the cooperation with Qianhong. Of course," Liu Jingting confessed: "There will be some risks."
"No problem." Gong Chengen agreed without hesitation, "I'm about to arrive, I'll start preparing for this matter when I go back."
"Okay, I'll write you a story summary later."
"No, yes, tell me your name." Gong Chengen smiled strangely, "You can show it in front of her in the future."
"Xiao Shiyilang."
...
Tell Gong Chengen in advance that although Liu Jingting made a temporary decision, it was also considered a decision by Lingguang. First, let Xingyue TV release the news, because of the pleasant cooperation with Gu Yongsheng, this special script cooperation was created. Since the original intention of "Xiao Shiyilang" was the script, then if its style was different from the previous works, it was purely because the author deliberately did this, it was an innovation that conformed to the form and content of artistic creation;
Secondly, if a person secretly does one thing for another, if the third person tells "the other person", the shock will be greater and the effect will be better.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jingting was stunned for a long time. He always felt something was wrong. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't grasp the specific intention. It seemed that all arrangements were reasonable.
...
Because it was the first snow in the new winter, traffic was not greatly affected. The distribution process of "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain" and "Half-Balloon Lotus" was very smooth, because it was the two monsters Yi Shui'an and Gu Yongsheng. Therefore, Qianhong could only play stand-alone games with no press conferences, no author notices, and no signing. For all new book activities, please see the official microblog for details.
No, Yi Shui'an cooperated with the publicity, so she forwarded a blog on Qianhong's official Weibo account. As for Gu Yongsheng, he disappeared again after a shocking appearance at the Dajianghu Forum last time. As for his official micro blog, it has already grown.
Even so, the two people's new book still maintains a hot scene that is completely inconsistent with the climate at this time. Yi Shui'an was named a niche author by media and literary critics. Regardless of whether the comment is fair or not, at least everyone knows that "niche" and "dead diehard" are brothers. Everyone knows at the same time that in this country with a population of one billion, the scale of "niche" is also amazing. You can firmly grasp this part of the "niche" and write your life, and you still have no worries about food and clothing.
Another point is that Yishuian's readers have always been known for their high quality. The high quality here not only refers to the readers' own moral cultivation, but also their writing cultivation. The famous screenwriter Debao once lamented in his mini blog that if he had fans like Yishuian, he would have no regrets in his life.
This is natural and complacent, because what kind of idol corresponds to what kind of fans.
Therefore, as soon as "Half-Piece Lotus" fell into the hands of readers, high-quality book reviews followed.
Gu Yongsheng's "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" is a different scene. If the sales scene of Yishui'an Book is the kind of gurgling rivers and continuous, Gu Yongsheng's "Seven Swords" is a raging fire and is coming in full force.
Although Gong Chengen's statement was a bit exaggerated, it did reflect some facts. In just one morning, more than a dozen places across the country declared out of stock.
This does not mean that Gu Yongsheng's popularity and influence surpass Yi Shui'an in all respects. First, comparing sales with novels and prose is an unfair thing. Second, Gu Yongsheng is a newly emerging writer. Both online and offline media have great enthusiasm for him. In addition to the real group of readers, there are also a group of onlookers with curiosity. One of these onlookers pays attention to Gu Yongsheng's new book, which is also a big number.
This phenomenon is particularly common in the literary and artistic circles. A newcomer became famous because he played a role. With the conscious operation of the media, his popularity seems to be able to kill a group of kings and queens overnight. This is the so-called bubble effect.
The Seven Swords are not long at all. Gu Yongsheng completed the manuscript once, and the serialized part did not change a single word when it was written. Therefore, readers will quickly read the complete story.
The readers of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" finally saw the ending of Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nishang, and they were very unhappy;
Fans of "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" finally saw the ending of Ling Weifeng and Liu Yufang, and they were also very unhappy.
Chapter completed!
