Chapter 118: A Chinese Ghost Story sells
...
"Fanchen, you are awesome, I accept it, I admit defeat, you are awesome, you are so awesome."
On the tt instant messaging device, Zhang Yun sent several messages to Huang Yifan.
“What’s the situation?”
Since Zhang Yun added Huang Yifan TT last time and made a bet with Huang Yifan, Huang Yifan has met Zhang Yun.
However, at first, Huang Yifan was not very fond of Zhang Yun, thinking that this guy was like a master and expert and wanted to suppress him. But after contacting him, Huang Yifan realized that Zhang Yun looked quite cute. Although this guy wanted to pk with him, he just wanted to compete with him and had no other intentions.
Regarding this, Huang Yifan and Zhang Yun were also a little friends.
Although this friend is not necessarily reliable or has a great friendship, at least Huang Yifan feels that Zhang Yun is not bad, more direct and more realistic. Of course, he is also more or less arrogant. But it is inevitable that the writers will.
"What's going on, you don't know?"
"What do I know?"
"Damn, you didn't pay attention to the Age Ghost Story you wrote."
"Oh, you are talking about Age Ghost Story. Didn't I use it to publish it? What's wrong?"
"You guys, it seems that you really don't take our gambling seriously. But I'm convinced you. Your Age Ghost Story has sold 400,000 copies, and it's completely overwhelming my evil ghost. It hurts my heart. Do you know? Your sales data has trampled on me, the supernatural master. Oh my God, is there any law in this world?"
"Oh, you're talking about this. It's only 400,000 copies, and it doesn't seem to be very good."
Huang Yifan disagreed with what Zhang Yun said.
"What is 400,000 copies? Do you think 400,000 copies are still small?"
"Are there many? It's not often reported in the news that a certain writer sold more than 1 million copies, 2 million copies, etc. My only 400,000 copies, which is far inferior to them."
"You, you, you... are so angry. You don't look at whoever is reported in these news. Those who sell millions of copies a year are the best writers. There are not many in the country. Do you think that a writer can sell so many copies? If so, the writing industry is so delicious. Moreover, you have to know that we are writing supernatural. Supernatural is a niche. Your work can sell 400,000 copies, which is already awesome. What else do you want?"
"Okay, okay, you're right. Should I laugh three times happily now? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"What a fake, I won't talk to you boy anymore. My sister, the more I talk to you, the more it will hurt my confidence. No, I have to compete with you again. Next time I will write a pseudo-supernatural novel with supernatural skin."
"Okay, okay, okay, look forward to your masterpiece."
After finishing the chat with Zhang Yun, Huang Yifan sent a message to Hongdou, editor of Xinyue Publishing House.
"Hongdou, I heard that my Age Ghost Story is selling well?"
Not long after, the other party replied to the message.
"Yes, I sent you a message a few days ago, why didn't I see it?"
“Uh…is there any?”
Huang Yifan opened the message record and it was really true.
"Okay, sorry, I was too busy a few days ago, probably I ignored it."
"It's okay, it's okay, your Chinese Ghost Story is really well written. It has sold 400,000 copies and I am preparing to apply for a key promotion from the company. In addition, the issue of manuscript fees is because the settlement process with the bookstore is a bit long and takes three months. If you are in a hurry, I can apply in advance to pay you a manuscript fee of 50,000 yuan."
"There is no hurry to make the royalties, please arrange them. I just want to ask about the situation of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl."
"That's the situation, by the way, I want to ask, are you very familiar with Shen Junru?"
"Who is Shen Junru?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
“Don’t know.”
"Damn, you don't even know famous literary critics."
"This, this, I haven't been in the writing world before, I really don't know it."
"Okay, I believe you. It's just strange. If you don't know Shen Junru, why did he recommend your works in Youth Literature?"
"Ah, he recommended my Age Ghost Story?"
"Yes, just in the last issue of Youth Literature and Art, Shen Junru strongly recommended your Age Ghost Story. Your novel was originally well written, and it was faintly on the edge of the explosion. With his recommendation, your novel became popular instantly. Now, your works sold for 400,000 copies in just a few days after it was launched."
"Thank you for your advice."
Writing Shen Junru's name as a mark on the document, Huang Yifan continued to typing on the keyboard.
