The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 905 The Peerless Divine Book
The person in charge of Hengdian Town, surnamed Song, is Song Deming, a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Song Deming is both the person in charge and the editor-in-chief of the Hengdian branch.

During this period of time, he had a headache, because the grades of Tianxia Shi magazine were getting worse and worse, and the higher authorities might consider suspending publication.

Why is this happening?

Because the Tianxia Shi magazine stand is too large in Xu's hands, there are branch libraries at the county level across the country, and there are too many employees.

The more employees, the higher the cost.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this.

The sub-library of World Affairs has covered the township level across the country. Every day, every county, every town has any strange things, and they can appear in the magazine as soon as possible. It was actually quite interesting.

But in the past few years, the imperial court has attached great importance to magazine publicity, and many important information can only be published after the imperial court reviews them.

If some interesting things cannot be exposed immediately, the nature magazine will lose its influence.

In the past few years, the daily sales volume in Hengdian Township was at least [-] copies, but in recent years it has dropped to an average of [-] copies.

You must know that there are nearly 20 foreigners in Hengdian. They have nothing to do after filming every day, and it is normal to have a magazine in hand.

But now fewer and fewer people like to watch, and this is going to cause problems.

Now that the above has spoken, everyone and the editor-in-chiefs from all walks of life have to find a way how to increase the influence of the magazine and make the people willing to buy it.

And Hengdian is a key area. In the past, every studio had a large number of extras and even leading actors. When they were not filming, they would take a look at the world's affairs. Now that the sales have dropped by [-]%, the higher-ups attach great importance to it.

If it is still not enough to make ends meet, the headquarters may have to dismantle this branch library, and Song Deming will lose his job by then.

In addition to him, there are eight employees in his branch library.

Those who go out to collect information are responsible for editing and proofreading.

This afternoon, he called a meeting with everyone to discuss how to increase the influence of the magazine.

Similar meetings, in fact, he held every week.

But today is Saturday, and we were not supposed to work overtime. After being called, everyone was unhappy.

Not long after the meeting, an editor-in-charge said: "Why don't you ask Pu Renfeng to open a column and see if there is any hope."

Pu Renfeng is a descendant of Pu Songling during the Rende period. When Pu Songling was in the Rende period, he was favored by Taizu Ding Yi and asked him to write a column in Tianxiashi, and wrote the still famous "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".

"Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" has been made into a TV movie frequently in recent years, and many viewers like to watch it.

But after Pu Songling, the talent of the Pu family seemed to be a bit lacking, and some people wrote novels in the column one after another, but none of them reached Pu Songling's height.

Until Pu Renfeng was born.

Pu Renfeng is 30 years old this year. He started writing novels when he was 16 years old. He was published in Tianxia Shishi when he was 17 years old. He specialized in writing martial arts novels under the pseudonym 'Tianfeng'. They became very popular. Many novels have been made into TV movies in recent years.

The whole Daqian called him the founder of the new martial arts novels.

At the age of 28, Pu Renfeng announced that he would not write novels in magazines, but only accept customized scripts.

Now Pu Renfeng has a martial arts script with a limit of 30 words and an asking price of 20 yuan.

"He even said that he would not write in the magazine anymore, you are not talking nonsense." Some people immediately refuted.

"There is nothing that money can't solve. If you pay him a high price, do you believe that he will come out?"

Song Deming shook his head: "The boss called him and offered a price of one word, but he didn't agree."

"One word and one piece?" Everyone at the scene jumped up.

This is sky-high.

Even in later generations, this character is given to Lao Yan one by one, and Lao Yan can write until he is 80 years old, with a daily update of [-] characters.

At this time, the price per word is the sky-high price among the sky-high prices, definitely the number one price in the country. This shows Pu Renfeng's status in the world.

Just as everyone was discussing how to increase the influence of the magazine and keep their jobs, someone knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang.

"Who, don't you know about the meeting?" Song Deming asked irritably.

Don't old man Liu, the gatekeeper, know if we have a meeting and don't bother?
Before he could stand up, the office door was pushed open.

"I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Song." Old man Liu opened the door: "Someone came to submit an article and said they have an appointment with you?"

Song Deming's expression darkened suddenly, and he looked at Ding Yi, such a young man standing behind old man Liu.

But he didn't get angry. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Understood, let him wait outside."

Then he went on with the meeting.

In fact, there was nothing to do afterwards, and everyone sat until 02:30 for an hour.

After Song Deming came out, he found that Ding Yi was still waiting.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Song, I'm Ding Yi, and I want to submit a manuscript."

Song Deming turned expressionless and walked towards the office, Ding Yi quickly followed.

Song Deming walked into the office with a dull head, saw Ding Yi come in, and immediately said: "Close the door."

Bang, Ding Yi closed the door, and handed some papers to Song Deming's desk.

Unexpectedly, Song Deming didn't look at it at all, and after receiving it, he threw it aside.

"Do you know who I hate the most?" Song Deming said in a deep voice.

"Editor-in-Chief Song hates self-righteous people the most. Young people should keep their feet on the ground and take one step at a time. Don't use such deceitful and inferior methods to do things. This will only make you more disgusted?" Ding Yi said slowly.

Song Deming was dumbfounded. Although what Ding Yi said was not entirely correct, he basically meant it.

He was going to get angry at Ding Yi and teach him a good lesson, but when Ding Yi said that, he didn't know what to say.

"The sales volume of Tianxia Shi magazine is not as good as every year." Ding Yi said at this time: "The guards at the gate are more powerful than each other."

"I was just about to come in and he said it's the weekend."

"If I turned back immediately, how could Editor-in-Chief Song have the opportunity to see my Mianxiu articles and peerless divine books?"

Ding Yi's meaning is also very obvious. If I hadn't said that, I wouldn't have been able to get in just now. Do you think I'm willing to talk nonsense?

Song Deming stared at Ding Yi for several seconds, and finally sneered: "I have seen too many self-righteous young people."

"You managed to get my attention."

After that, he reached out and picked up the paper on the table.

Don't look at what he said, just give yourself a step down. Later, if Ding Yi finds out that what Ding Yi wrote is shit, he will immediately smash the manuscript paper on Ding Yi's face, and tell him to get out.

He took out the manuscript paper and saw the title and pen name first.

"Divine Condor: I am invincible in the Song Dynasty"

Grass, what is the title of this book?
When Song Deming saw the title of the book, he felt that it was a garbage book, and he almost wanted to throw it away.

Fortunately, the pseudonym below gave me a sigh of relief.

Pen name: 'Ye Gucheng'

Song Demingjue's pseudonym is good, very artistic, and he can be regarded as a normal person.

Then I looked down, and there was an introduction to the content, and I almost recited it without a breath.

"Sister's birthday, 20 taels of silver per table, 100 taels of silver per table, the wimp who is despised by thousands of people asks: Where should the [-] million taels sit?"

Sit on you, Song Deming shook his hands, resisting the urge to smash the manuscript paper on Ding Yi's face, and continued to look down.

The beginning of Ding Yi's "Sculpture of the Gods" was rewritten, and Yang Guo appeared on the stage.

And it was Yang Guo who was divorced.

At the beginning, Guo Fu, the daughter of Guo Jing, the number one master in the world and the number one hero in the Jianghu, is the proud daughter of heaven, attracting everyone's attention, but Yang Guo is the bereaved son of Guo Jing's sworn brother, a vagrant in the world.

Originally, the two parties were engaged more than ten years ago, but now Huang Rong has broken off the engagement at the beginning.

Song Deming only looked at it for a while, his eyes began to light up, and he quickly entered into it.

There is no such thing as a divorce at the beginning. Ding Yi vividly portrays the humiliation suffered by the protagonist Yang Guo, Guo Fu's pride and complacency, and Huang Rong's selfishness and cunning.

The images of several characters are very full, and the audience is instantly substituted into Yang Guo.

And the opening pace is very fast, Guo Jing asked Huang Rong to teach Yang Guo kung fu, Huang Rong deliberately did not teach, and taught reading first.

The Wu brothers circled around Guo Fu every day and deliberately bullied Yang Guo.

Yang Guo was oppressed, and readers were angry and annoyed, and everyone hoped that he would rise soon.

At this moment, Ouyang Feng appeared and taught Yang Guo the supernatural power.

This is the first turning point of the first three chapters.

When Song Deming saw this, he stopped abruptly, and the bottom was gone.

At this time Song Deming was very shocked, because none of the martial arts novels in this meeting had such an opening, like the style of Pu Renfeng, the number one master in China, usually the protagonists are young chivalrous men, or come from famous families, and then everything goes smoothly and enjoys to the end.

Ding Yi is uncharacteristically, starting the game as a beggar and being humiliated in various ways. Not only is he different, but he can also arouse readers' sympathy and empathy.

There is a market for this novel, of course, if he also writes well later.

Song Deming was very pleasantly surprised, but there was still no reaction on the surface.

"Well, I took a quick look at the book, and the book is okay, but there are only three chapters, and I can't tell the depth of the writing—" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Yi's hand.

Ding Yi was still holding a pile in his hand.

"I've already written [-] words." Ding Yi said calmly, "If Editor-in-Chief Song thinks it's okay, I can hand it over to your company after signing the contract."

Song Deming had a hesitant expression on his face, and after thinking for a while: "You can still sign, but you are a newcomer, and you don't have a reader base in China. If you lose money—"

"I want one yuan per word." Ding Yi interrupted him directly.

"What?" Song Deming wanted to jump up.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price and coax this newcomer, but Ding Yi didn't expect Ding Yi to open his mouth directly.

This is the domestic first-line standard, and the manuscript fees of top writers are few in the country, and they can be counted on one hand.

"Impossible, you are a newcomer." Song Deming shouted: "Even if I want to give it to you, the higher-ups can't approve it, and I can't make the decision."

"Then you can ask the higher-ups. I'll wait for you for two days. If there is no response in two days, I will switch to other magazines." Ding Yi said.

"Come, come, Ye Gucheng, right? Sit first, sit first, listen to me." Song Deming saw that he couldn't fool Ding Yi, so he could only talk to him.

What he meant was to sign at a low price first, and then send out a few issues to see the sales. If it can skyrocket, the price will follow immediately.

There is nothing wrong with saying this, and most authors start like this.

Ding Yi shook his head: "I know that my novels are definitely the best in the world, the top among the top, not to mention that your sales will skyrocket, and if others want to buy copyrights to make TV movies in the future, it will cost at least 100 million."

"If you sign, you will only earn, not lose. This price cannot be less, only more."

Ding Yi insisted that he would not let go of a single word.

After finishing speaking, he got up: "I'll come back in two days. By the way, this is my phone number. If you don't agree, just call me. I won't come either. I'll send someone to pick up the manuscript."

Song Deming watched Ding Yi go out with a tug, and his angry hands wanted to crumple the manuscript paper and throw it into the trash can.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't do it.

One character and one block are indeed high, and it is not up to him to decide, but he can report it to the higher authorities.

Soon, he picked up the phone.
