Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 34 Preparing for Publishing a Physical Book

Jiangnan Publishing House.

While answering the phone, Ding Ziqing pushed the door open and walked towards the editor-in-chief's office.

After hearing Fang Zhou's words, Ding Ziqing was stunned:
"Yes, there is a Zhao army."

"He's the editor of our publisher's Horror Fiction magazine. Why did you mention him? Editor Zhao is looking for you."

"Do you also write horror and supernatural articles?"

Ding Ziqing had to think so.

After all, Fang Zhou himself said before that he still had other manuscripts to write.

It’s just that horror novels and youth romance novels, why do I feel like these two are not on the same channel?
And it seems that it was Zhao Jun who took the initiative to find him!
Ding Ziqing quickened her pace.

This issue of "Youth Tribe" has been distributed to bookstores and newsstands, and the feedback has been very good.

The "Youth Tribe" magazine she is in charge of is a bimonthly magazine with good sales.

There are about 200,000 copies per issue.

But this time when I sent it out, there were already replies asking for reprints.

Although it’s not a lot, only two units have been delivered. Some places have not received the first batch yet, but some outlets have already sold out and are out of stock.

We have now contacted sales outlets in various locations to see if they are experiencing the same situation.

Judging from the feedback.

It is estimated that at least 50,000 copies will be printed this time.

In addition, the magazine editorial department has received letters from readers and there have been discussions on the website, many of which are about the love novel published by Fang Zhou.

There are also many people asking for books.

Entertainment is underdeveloped in this world, and there are few types of novels.

If someone sees an interesting and touching article, they will actually buy a copy to keep as a treasure.

And there is a possibility that you will continue to buy this magazine in the future.

This is how you cultivate readers.

Because of this situation.

Therefore, in order to commission articles from famous authors with a large readership, publishers are willing to increase royalties.

Editor-in-Chief He Qin knows about this.

These two days.

Ding Ziqing and He Qin are discussing Fang Zhou's royalties.

The effect of Fang Zhou's love story was obvious. It could increase the magazine sales by 50,000 copies at a time, and the royalties were just a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, the next issue.

There is another article of equally high quality by Ark, but it is hard to say what will happen after that.

Therefore, it is urgent to commission an article from Fang Zhou.

Received a call from Ark.

Ding Ziqing went to He Qin's office immediately, fearing that she would not be able to make the decision if the issue of raising her royalties came up.

He Qin was busy when she saw Ding Ziqing come in without knocking and was on the phone.

I knew it must be something important.

Ding Ziqing said:

"Fang Zhou, I'm in Editor-in-Chief He's office."

"Our editor-in-chief is responsible for the content of all magazines. Why don't you let her listen to it too?"

say hi.

Fang Zhou said on the phone:

"I posted a horror novel online, a supernatural novel, and saw someone named Zhao Jun contacted me. He listed the Jiangnan Publishing House and said he wanted to publish it."

"That's why I called you to ask."

"Is he a liar?"

Knowing it was Fang Zhou, He Qin was already interested.

When Fang Zhou mentioned the novel he wrote online, and it was Zhao Jun who sent the message, He Qin's heart was in her throat.

Asked carefully:
"Hello Fang Zhou, I'm He Qin."

"Zhao Jun is indeed an editor at our publishing house. Excuse me, you said you wrote a horror and supernatural novel online. I wonder what the title is..."

"Ghost Blows Out the Light!"

He Qin felt that her brain was not enough.

Is that such a coincidence!
The person I had been worried about and wanted to contact for several days turned out to be Fang Zhou.

He Qin was a little amused:

"Then you won't update for the next two days..."

"I'm a senior in high school. I've been studying for the mock exams these past two days, so I haven't had time to update."

He Qin was a bit amused and confused when she heard the reason. You know, the online discussion was going crazy.

someone said.

The author is a tomb robber. This time he went out to work and got into trouble. He encountered a big zombie and this book was abandoned forever.

Some people also say.

The author was caught by the police while he was out working and was eating a free meal.

Some people disagree.

How could it be that he was hit by a car when he went out?

Or he was so absorbed in writing that he had no time to spend with his wife, and ended up being cheated on by his neighbor, Lao Wang. He wanted to fight Lao Wang to death, but was stabbed to death by Lao Wang and his wife together. The police are currently piecing together the bodies!
Anyway, they are all friendly wishes.

After adjusting her mood, He Qin immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

"Mr. Ark."

"We do want to contact you."

"I didn't expect it to be written this way. I wonder how many words you plan to write in this book."

“We looked at the content of the book and it was very suitable for publishing as a physical book.”

"I don't know if you have this intention."

This was the original purpose of the Ark.

One book can teach you many things.

If I submit my work directly to a magazine, the results will definitely not be as good.

Online literature is not well developed, so it is also good to make some money from physical books. The key is that the copyright is in your own hands. Even if you adapt other copyrights in the future, you can still make money.

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and said:
"I estimate this book will be eight volumes, totaling about two million words."

"Now the first volume is complete."

"If it's published."

"It depends on how much the royalties are."

He Qin had heard from Ding Ziqing a long time ago that Fang Zhou was a bit strange.

Unlike other cultured people, they are not shy about income and take the issue of "money" seriously.

This is good news for publishers.

It doesn’t matter what price you ask.

What I fear most is meeting those people who treasure their things. They clearly want to sell them but act like it’s too vulgar to ask for money.

He Qin made a prompt decision:
"Mr. Fang Zhou, it's hard to explain over the phone, so why not talk in person?"

"You are in Nanwu, right?"

"We're not far away in Sukyong."

"How about we go to Nanwu City tomorrow and discuss this with you in person?"

Fang Zhou thought for a moment and said:
"No time tomorrow."

"How about next week's?"

"Let me know if you're coming, and we'll meet and talk then."

The classroom of Class 2 () of No. Middle School at this time.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Tang Tang looked at the other people in the classroom with a haughty and proud look on her face.

Everyone already knows that Fang Zhou scored 144 points in Chinese, and it is said to be the highest score in Chinese in the city.

If you want to cheat, copy the answers.

There is no such thing as cheating.

Almost everyone in the class had read Fang Zhou's Chinese test paper, especially the composition, and no one had anything to say.

You may not be able to tell what is wrong with a bad essay.

But good article.

You can tell it’s good at a glance, you can’t fool anyone!
Then I thought about it again, it seems that Fang Zhou has really been studying these days, and he is really learning Chinese.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This effect can be seen in just a few days?
It can only be described as weird, but what is even weirder is that Ark's other three subjects, mathematics 86 points, physics 76 points, English and chemistry have not come out yet.

I am really worse at each subject.

Suddenly, people were reminded of what Tang Tang said before - Fang Zhou and Fang Qinglin made a bet.

Everyone's mood is complicated.

of course.

And a little bit of pride.
