Chapter 210: Beautiful Cover, New Book Released

Bay Bay.

Xinchang.

Several design drawings appeared in front of President Lan Tianhu.

Lan Tianhu frowned as he flipped through the cover designs. The man standing in front of his desk smiled bitterly and said, "Boss! Which one do you think we should use? Logically, for a book titled "The Mysterious Pagoda of Heaven and Earth", we should use the pagoda in mythology as the cover, but you know the content of the book, and it seems to have nothing to do with the pagoda. At least for the content of the first episode, we can't see any connection with the title. Look at this cover?"

Lan Tianhu didn't speak immediately.

There were several cover designs in front of him, one of which was a golden pagoda pattern.

One of them was a portrait of a man of extraordinary bravery.

The other photos show beauties with different appearances, some with long legs, some with big bodies, and some with bodies that look like they could give birth to a son.

The last one is even more amazing, simply combining all the beauties in the previous pictures into one picture.

Flipping through these design drawings, Lan Tianhu smiled slightly.

The content of the new book written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui this time surprised him. He actually created an original movie world and let the male protagonist go on adventures in that movie world. What's outrageous is that this original movie has been a hit in Taiwan recently, and the box office and reputation are very good.

Such a new book made him and the entire Xinchang believe that it would definitely be popular in the market.

It’s the title of the book - "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth", which seems to have nothing to do with the content of the book. I don’t know why Zhongyuan Yidianhui chose such a strange title this time?
But he had to admit that such a strange book title was really impressive.

In this case……

Thinking of this, he threw the design drawing with the most beauties in front of the man who had just spoken, and said with a smile: "Let's take this one! Since the title and content of his book can be completely incompatible, why can't we learn from him when we design a cover for him? Come up with something completely incompatible as well?"

The man standing in front of the desk: “???”

Then, the man smiled, picked up the design drawing that Lan Tianhu had just thrown over, and said happily, "Okay! It's OK! President, with such a sexy cover and the pen name Zhongyuan Yidianhui, I am confident that this book will sell like hot cakes!"

Lan Tianhu nodded with a smile.

He thought so too.

Most of the novels published in Taiwan these days have erotic cover designs.

However, the cover designs of "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "God's Tomb" by Zhongyuan Yidianhui before did not deliberately go for the erotic route, but tried to fit the content of each episode as much as possible, designing a certain character or scene in each episode as the cover.

It's a fine line.

But this time, the title of the book "The Linglong Tower of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth" did not match the content. In the first episode, the male protagonist was in danger and did not show any special charm. There was no female character who looked like the heroine, so the designer who designed the cover of this episode was dumbfounded.

I don't know how to design the cover for this episode.

If this wasn't the work of Zhongyuan Yidianhui, the cover designer wouldn't care and could just make a random cover to deal with it.

But Zhongyuan Yidianhui is the ace writer of their publishing house.

Can the cover of a new book by an ace writer be dealt with casually?
In the end, several cover designers were forced to come up with one design each, which was then submitted to the president for his decision.

……

Xinchang was working overtime to print Cao Sheng's new book.

Magic City.

Bai Fengyin, the manuscript editor of Shuopin, opened the manuscript mailbox this morning and saw the manuscript submitted by Huang Qingya, "Eternal Love", among more than a dozen submissions.

Seeing the title of this book, Bai Fengyin raised her eyebrows slightly.

Not only because the title is very long, but also because it has a strong romantic flavor.

Logically speaking, such works are not suitable for publication in Taiwan.

Because people in Taiwan don’t really like love stories written by mainland authors.

But Bai Fengyin also smelled the flavor of immortality and cultivation from the title of this book.

Or the taste of reincarnation.

Who among normal people can have a love affair that lasts for three lifetimes?
Her interest was piqued, so she immediately opened the email, glanced at the body of the email, and then clicked to download the attachment.

The contents of the novel are in the attachment.

She still remembered Huang Qingya's previous book "The Little Woman in the Sword Controlling Sect", and it was said that Cao Sheng had helped to sort out the main storyline.

The relationship between Huang Qingya and Cao Sheng seems to be unusual.

Therefore, she had reason to suspect that this book "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" also had the guidance of Cao Sheng.

Compared to Cao Sheng's submissions of new books, which only consisted of a bare text of tens of thousands of words, Huang Qingya's submissions were much more formal.

Before the main text, in addition to information such as the book title, work type, introduction, and author's pen name, there are also settings for more than a dozen main characters and a story outline of about 500 words.

It looks very professional at first glance.

In comparison, Cao Sheng is a wild person.

that's the truth.

Huang Qingya studied Chinese language and literature in college.

Cao Sheng learned to write entirely by self-study.

No one had ever taught him what format to use when submitting a manuscript to a publishing house, or what other things he should write in addition to the main text.

Bai Fengyin patiently read through everything before the main text.

After reading the story synopsis, she knew that the book should be able to pass the publishing review. Although the book is indeed very romantic.

But Huang Qingya gave this romance story a gorgeous fairy tale coat. The love story between a mortal woman and the god of war in heaven and the most handsome man in the Three Realms, at first glance, is a fairy tale story.

After she finished reading the tens of thousands of words of the main text, she looked a little surprised and frowned and said to herself: "She has made great progress this time! Did she really come up with this story?"

Huang Qingya's writing style has improved a bit, but the improvement is not very obvious.

But the setting of the story this time is much larger than her previous book.

In Huang Qingya’s previous book, the story was mainly set in the Yu Jian Sect, and the heroine never left the Yu Jian Sect several times from beginning to end.

This time, the story begins with the hero in the Lingxiao Palace, accepting the Jade Emperor's decree and going down to the mortal world to exorcise demons.

When the hero majestically led a group of heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal world to fight against demons and monsters, and when the mountains and rivers were shattered, his true form was revealed - it was actually a black dragon.

Such a setting exceeded the limits of Bai Fengyin's imagination.

This was not the impression she had of romance novels.

How can the male protagonist be set as a black dragon?

But she had to admit that such a male protagonist did make her look forward to the subsequent plot of the book.

Is it really possible for a mortal heroine to fall in love with a black dragon? If the hero loses control and suddenly reveals his true form during the wedding night, the heroine will be crushed into a meat pie on the spot...

wrong! wrong!
Bai Fengyin, who had this thought in her mind, came back to her senses and subconsciously raised her hand to pat her forehead.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I thought: Why would I think like that? I turned a good love story into a horror story. It seems that I am not suitable for reading such a romantic story!

She forwarded Huang Qingya's submission to the review editor at headquarters.

Then I sent an email to Huang Qingya, asking her how she came up with this story and whether she had consulted Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

When she sent this email, she actually already had the answer in her mind.

She just wanted to verify it.

She felt that this kind of writing style, which starts off in a grand manner, was what Zhongyuan Yidianhui was good at, and Huang Qingya must have listened to Zhongyuan Yidianhui's advice.

That afternoon, Huang Qingya replied: "He gave me the idea for this story, and he also helped me sort out the main plot."

Bai Fengyin's guess was confirmed. She felt happy but also a little regretful.

She still remembered that she had suggested to Huang Qingya that she should open a company, invite some authors to write manuscripts, and then ask Zhongyuan Yidianhui to be a consultant for her company and occasionally give guidance to the authors in her company on writing.

Now think about it, if Huang Qingya had accepted her suggestion and really opened such a company, then under the guidance of Zhongyuan Yidianhui, those authors might have written many works similar to "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

"What a shame! What a shame!"

Bai Fengyin couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't understand why Huang Qingya didn't open such a company, nor could she understand why Cao Sheng was not interested in opening such a company.

In her opinion, why not do a business that can make money?
Why do you have to write novels yourself when you can ask other authors to help you make money?

……

The time came to January 22, Saturday.

Bay Bay.

Today is the day when the new book "God's Tomb" is on the market. Many book fans came to the door of bookstores this morning to line up, hoping to buy the latest "God's Tomb" as soon as possible.

These book lovers who lined up early basically got what they wanted.

But many of them are confused.

Because before they bought the latest two episodes of "God's Tomb", they saw a notice at the door of the bookstore: "The first episode of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new masterpiece "The Mysterious Tower of Heaven and Earth" is on sale today."

"No way? Zhongyuan Yidianhui has published a new book? "God's Tomb" is almost finished? Why is there a new book now?"

"Oh no! The money I brought today is only enough to buy two volumes of "God's Tomb", and I don't have money to buy this new book."

"'The Mysterious and Yellow Heaven and Earth'? Does anyone know this new book? Is it really written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui?"

"Wow! This new book has only had a few chapters updated online, but I didn't expect the first volume to be available for purchase. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't even have enough money with me!"

"Oh my god! Publishing a new book at this time? Can't we wait until after the Spring Festival? Only after the Spring Festival can we get lucky money!"

"Is Zhongyuan Yidianhui trying to squeeze our pocket money? Writing a book called "God's Tomb" wasn't enough? You actually wrote a new book?"

"Damn! There are so many beauties on the cover of this new book?"

……

Those who are worried basically do not have enough pocket money.

For those book lovers who have money, the appearance of the first volume of "The Exquisite Tower of Heaven and Earth" is an absolute surprise, and they buy a copy right away.

Rosen is such a book fan.

When he saw Cao Sheng's new book, he bought a copy without thinking.

He had already read a few chapters of this book online, and his interest had long been piqued.

Today, he unexpectedly saw that the first volume of this book was already on sale. He was so surprised that he just wanted to buy a copy and read it as soon as possible.
