I really don't want to eat with my face

Chapter 14 Sudden Fire
Su Xiaozhou is quite good at playing, and she should be able to attract a lot of popularity for "Fights Break Sphere" by using her appearance reasonably.

Lu Changming also had a similar idea. Of course, he didn't want to attract traffic for "Three-Body Problem", but wanted to earn some male god value.

There is never too much of a good thing.

However, Lu Changming has never played Douying and doesn't know how to operate it, so he is not in a hurry, thinking about letting Su Xiaozhou take pictures of himself in the future.

After clearing away the dishes, Lu Changming turned on the computer, logged in to the World Tree website, and checked the situation of "Three-Body Problem".

Seeing this, he was a little surprised, because "Three-Body Problem" had over [-] hits and hundreds of comments, which is rare on the World Tree website, which is sluggish in popularity.

Lu Changming was busy reading the comments, almost all of them were positive.

"It's so exciting, I don't even want to do AI after watching it—a frustration from an artificial intelligence AI developer."

"I read Weixi's great comments. It's too shocking, but the ending is too sad."

"I agree with Chang Ye Weixi's point of view, "Three-Body Problem" must be popular, this is the pinnacle of domestic science fiction literature, if it is not popular, I will eat it!"

…………

More than half of the comments mentioned one person: Changye Weixi.

Lu Changming suddenly thought of Lin Weixi. As a literary girl, Lin Weixi is also keen on science fiction literature, and has published her own works. Perhaps she has a certain popularity in the circle.

He flipped through the comments again and locked on a forum called "Science Fiction World", where many readers came from.

Lu Changming directly searched the Science Fiction World Forum.

This is a forum with more than 50 members, mainly for science fiction fans, providing functions such as communication, writing, and drafting.

And today's hot post has been pinned to the top, and the title is: A work that may shock the domestic science fiction literature world.

This title is exaggerated, and not everyone dares to take it.

Lu Changming clicked to see that the person who posted the post was "Changye Weixi", and the avatar was an open book, which was very compelling.

This Changye Weixi is also an administrator of the forum.

In the post, she introduced "Three-Body" in detail and listed three major advantages.

First, the portrayal of human beings is extremely exquisite.

Second, it has changed the angle from which humans see the universe.

Third, broaden the horizons of readers.

Lu Changming nodded secretly, what is professionalism?This is called professionalism.

He had already figured out that Changye Weixi must be Lin Weixi. She probably found out that "Three-Body Problem" was published online, so she came to help promote it.

Looking at the replies again, it is astonishing that there are as many as one thousand floors.

"Weixi is making a big splash, take a group photo in the front row!"

"Daddy Weixi strongly recommends it, it's a must-see!"

"I envy the author of "The Three-Body Problem". I remember that Wei Xi only recommended Vanner's "The Silence of the Universe", right?"

It has to be said that Lin Weixi's popularity in the Science Fiction World Forum has exploded.

After thinking about it, Lu Changming sent Lin Weixi a WeChat message: "Thank you, Lin Weixi."

"No thanks, I just don't want "Three-Body" to be dusty, it has nothing to do with you."

Still have, Gao Leng ah.

Lu Changming didn't care, reopened the World Tree website, and started interacting with readers.

Not long after, he received a call.

When I picked it up, there was an unfamiliar voice on the opposite side: "Mr. Changming? I am the editor of World Tree. I found you based on the number you left in the background."

Editing of World Tree?

Lu Changming smiled: "It's me, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Chang Ming, after discussion in our editorial department, we have decided to formally sign the Three-Body Problem. What is your intended price?"

These words are quite direct and quite urgent.

Lu Changming knew in his heart that although he published "Three-Body Problem" on the World Tree website, he did not formally sign the contract, and all the copyrights were still in his own hands.

And "Three-Body Problem" suddenly became popular in the science fiction circle, which attracted the attention of the editorial department.

The editorial department rushed to sign the contract.

"I don't ask for a high price, but I hope to hold the publishing copyright, adaptation copyright, and film and television copyright in my own hands." Lu Changming is also straightforward. He is not arrogant or greedy for money, but afraid.

I was afraid that "Three-Body" would be destroyed by capitalists.

In the future, "Three-Body Problem" will be popular all over the Internet, and maybe it will win some awards, which will attract the greed of many capitalists.

If the copyright is not in your own hands, and World Tree is sold casually for money, "Three-Body Problem" can still be safe?
"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. When we sign a contract, we sign the copyright. The publishing right is the most basic. Our magazine is going to publish." The editor is a little confused, isn't the other party Mengxin?Why did you ask for treatment from the Great God as soon as you came up?
"What about the adaptation and film and television copyright?"

"It's too early to say that. "Three-Body Problem" is currently in the stage of electronic serialization, and it has not even been serialized in magazines yet." The editor said softly, still wanting to treat Lu Changming as a newcomer.

"Then sign the electronic serialization contract first." Lu Changming is not easy to fool, because he knows that "Three-Body Problem" has lessons learned from others.

In the parallel world, the film and television copyright of "Three-Body Problem" was sold at a low price, and later it was turned into a garbage movie, and it was stopped without even being released.

Lu Changming is determined not to let "Three-Body Problem" go the old way, even if it doesn't make money, he must keep the copyright.

Money really doesn't matter, anyway, there are rich wives and younger sisters.

"Your editorial department can discuss it slowly. I can sell the publishing rights to you, but I hope to hold the adaptation and film and television rights in my own hands." Lu Changming didn't say much.

The editor had no choice but to hang up first.

Suzhou and Hangzhou, World Tree Magazine.

This is a magazine with decades of history, located on the No.13 floor of the Shushu Building, with a total area of ​​more than 300 square meters and multiple departments.

At this moment in the editorial department, several responsible editors were discussing, sometimes frowning and sometimes anxious, obviously a little worried.

The editor who called Lu Changming just now was also there. His name is Jiang Dong, and he is an experienced editor.

"The popularity of "Three-Body Problem" is getting higher and higher. I have contacted my friend from the Science Fiction World Forum, and he said that the post is the most popular post in recent years, and the influence of Changye Weixi is by no means achieved." Jiang Jiang Dong took a sip of water, feeling both happy and depressed.

World Tree Magazine is a cooperative relationship with the Science Fiction World Forum. Both of them are big names in the field of science fiction literature, and they often communicate with each other.

"The Three-Body Problem is indeed extraordinary. Even if the book is not popular, the law of the dark forest in it will definitely be popular. We only need to add fuel to the flames, and we can make a lot of money." Another editor in charge analyzed.

"The law of the dark forest is too artistic, it is not boring, it can touch the hearts of readers." A female editor said with dark circles under her eyes. She had finished reading "Three-Body Problem" in one breath before, and she still couldn't get enough.

At this moment, the door opened, and an old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in. He was in his sixties, but he was hale and hearty, walking with firm steps, and very bookish.

"Editor-in-Chief." Everyone greeted hurriedly.

"I heard that this hit is out?" The old man's name is Liu Changqian, he is the editor-in-chief of World Tree Magazine, and he is well-known in the publishing industry.

Whenever there is any big event in the literary world, he will basically be invited.

"Yes, we have probably read that book. It is indeed not simple. Both the plot and the writing skills are top-notch, and the most important thing is the brand-new theory and setting of the universe, which is eye-catching and creepy." Jiang Dong Response, "I called the author just now to ask for a contract, but he refused to release the adaptation and film and television copyright, and our practice is to sign the contract immediately."

"Then sign the electronic copyright and magazine serial copyright first. As for the adaptation and film and television, it's too early. Maybe this book will be short-lived." Liu Changqian ordered directly, with a calm expression.

As a bigwig in the publishing industry, why hasn't he seen such a big storm?

A work that pops up out of nowhere may suddenly fall silent, maybe it will be silent in the next month?
Adaptation and film and television copyright, it is too far to think too far.

This is a common problem for newcomers, writing a pseudonym and fantasizing about thanking parents at the Nobel Prize for Literature.

"Understood." Jiang Dong nodded, "Editor, do you want to read "Three-Body Problem"? We have integrated the content and can send it to your mobile phone."

"Next time, I'm going to the capital tomorrow to participate in a writers' association event. You decide for yourself. If "Three-Body Problem" is very popular, push it quickly. Don't let it cool down." Liu Changqian waved his hand, completely pretentious. The tone of business.

"Yes."

Wenbi District of Dongyang City.

Lu Changming exercised on the balcony, and then received a call from the editor of World Tree. They agreed to sign a part of the contract first.

This is actually not uncommon. Many bigwigs in the traditional literary circle hold their own copyrights, or have the right to make decisions, and it is impossible to sign a contract in one go.

It's just that a newcomer like Lu Changming has no influence, so the editorial department will naturally not treat him favorably, and he will sign a basket as soon as he signs it. It's like buying vegetables, which are large and cheap. [This book is also (smile)]

Lu Changming chatted with the editor for a few words, and then hung up—as long as the adaptation and film and television copyrights are in his own hands, he can do whatever he wants with World Tree.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Su Xiaozhou rushed out in a hurry, and laughed loudly: "Haha, I'm obviously angry!"

She held up her mobile phone to show Lu Changming. It was the shaking video she just took. In just one hour, there were 3000 likes and more than [-] comments.

"Fuck, alive? My grandpa died in peace."

"It's so cute, is it a female writer? The title of "Fights Break Sphere" sounds very novel and interesting, so go read it right away!"

"Come on, Qiqi, I will reward you with living expenses right away!"

Su Xiaozhou is indeed popular again, it is good to be beautiful.

"Obviously, many people have watched "Fights Break the Sphere", and they will call me the Lord of Drainage!" Su Xiaozhou was so happy that he twisted his waist and sang a song: "This is your excuse for breaking up? If you let you do it all over again... ..."

Lu Changming nodded. Many male netizens flocked to read the book when they saw that a female writer had written it. The popularity of "Fights Break Sphere" must be rising.

It just so happens that my own "Three-Body Problem" has also become popular, and together with "Fights Break the Sphere", both genres have blossomed.

Wonderful.

　It's over, I can sleep again, wonderful!
