I am a writer

Chapter 168 The editor is amazed, the royalties have skyrocketed! 【Subscribe】

"What's going on today? Why are we the only ones chatting, where's the person who opened the book? Why isn't everyone bubbling!"

Liu Wei suddenly realized this problem.

Usually when everyone is chatting and blowing water together, several editors will appear when the book is opened.

There was something unusual today, there was no one there.

"Did the boss catch me for deserting at work?"

"Probably in a meeting."

"The mid-year sales haven't even started yet, are they already busy?"

"You are too inhumane, maybe the Internet is blocked!"

Open Book Publishing Company had poor performance in the past, and everyone had no work to do. Apart from reading books, they chatted in front of their desks, and even watched various TV series to pass the time.

In the past year, no one has done this kind of thing blatantly. Chatting or watching the news at most, playing games or watching videos is a bit exaggerated.

"@开组冯国元@向成文@范宏, why haven't you seen anyone in the past two days, is business really so busy?"

Enthusiasts directly circled these editors, wanting to see what they are busy with.

Fan Hong happened to be talking about a new book with an author on the TT chat, and after seeing the message reminder that popped up in the lower right corner, he clicked on it and replied: "I'm not busy with business, but I'm busy reading a book."

Liu Wei asked, "Could you be watching Qin Chuan's "Devotion of Suspect X"?"

The rest of the group also chattered, and dozens of messages were posted quickly.

"I'm really reading this book, and you all guessed it right." Fan Hong was particularly proud that he had the advantage of being close to the water.

The proofreading and editors in the company are working extremely intensely, and they have also got the manuscript of the new book, so they can have a good time reading it before everyone else!
Although it is emphasized that it cannot be leaked to the outside world, there is no problem in the company's internal inspection.

"I'm really reading this book. What's it like? Let me tell you the truth."

"Real or fake? Does it look good?"

"It should be very good. If it's not good-looking, as for making these guys who opened the book addicted to reading instead of chatting!"

"Old Fan, you are not upright, good things should be shared!"

"Is Qin Chuan's book stable?"

"Let me tell you a little about the plot."

Fan Hong looked at the words of these old guys, and refuted them one by one: "Go, go, go, you want me to make a principled mistake, why don't you usually reveal the content of the best-selling book. Anyway, this book is dead. If the sales volume does not explode, I will take your surname! Qin Chuan wrote really well, and our editorial department thinks that the first printing of this book should be enough for a million."

Liu Wei knew that his old friend was not someone who liked to talk big, "Is he really that good?"

"It's better than I said! It is undoubtedly the pinnacle of suspense mystery novels. The plot flows very smoothly. It was really surprising when the answer was revealed at the end. It is so interconnected. In the last few pages, all our assumptions were overturned. , I don’t believe any of you could have predicted this result, it’s really not unexpected at all, it’s a logical and unexpected ending.”

The editors in the group were stunned!

This series of words of praise came out as if they didn't want money.

We are all old bookworms who have read countless books. Even if the works are of high quality, they can only be said to be good or okay at most. Such sincere praise is rare even in several years.

It seems that Fan Hong was really impressed by Qin Chuan's "The Devotion of Suspect X", otherwise how could he speak so sincerely.

Almost everyone was attracted, and their appetites were whetted!

Is it really that good to blow up the hype?
At that time, don't be blown away by the wind!
"It makes me want to buy a copy and read it."

"No matter how well you say it, if you don't show it to me, it means nothing!"

"Old Fan, you are not advertising, are you?"

"The pre-sale channel has been closed, I'd better go directly to the bookstore to buy."

"If it's not as good-looking as you said, I must ask you to reimburse the bill!"

"I should ask you to advertise after opening the book. It's so good. You see, everyone wants to take out their wallets."

Fan Hong really didn't expect this effect. He really said something from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't expect to arouse everyone's desire to read.

"Seriously, if you really think it doesn't look good, just come to me! I'd like to see who is so unappreciative. Everyone, keep chatting, I'm busy with work!"

He closed the TT chat page, turned his head and said to Lai Feiyu next to him, "Feiyu, the title of the book should read Ax, right?"

Before reading the book, everyone had such doubts, not knowing what to call the title of the book.

For the sake of convenience and easy to remember, everyone calls it a fork.

After all, there is only one syllable, smooth.

But after reading the novel, Fan Hong felt that he and others should change their mouths so as not to make a joke.

If everyone said that it was easy to say, it would become illiterate when it was spread out.

Lai Feiyu had finished reading the book early and replied: "Nothing in particular, just call it whatever you want."

"You, you, it looks like you're about to get promoted. Boss Lu remembers your name, and even showed your face several times."

"I guess Vice President Chen is not very happy."

Although Lai Feiyu managed to keep "The Devotion of Suspect X", it exposed Chen Long's excessive conservatism and vision in handling this matter.

If you want to be promoted, you have to look at people!

He doesn't care about promotion now, Qin Chuan's performance is all counted on Lai Feiyu, and this guy's salary is high in the whole company.

After changing jobs, your salary may be reduced, and only a fool would be happy with that!

"Editor Lai, the boss wants you to go to her office." A female colleague knocked on the table next to Lai Feiyu and said in a low voice, "The boss is in a good mood."

Fan Hong patted Lai Feiyu on the shoulder, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Maybe the boss has taken a fancy to you, and you will lose 20 years of hard work."

"It's because of my ability to work overtime for free."

Lai Feiyu locked the computer screen, then stood up and walked inside.

Lu Manqing pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Xiao Lai, have you contacted Qin Chuan recently?"

"No, I just came over to chat this time, and I'm usually afraid of disturbing his class or writing books." Lai Feiyu was a little puzzled, is there a problem with this?
"Qin Chuan is already a favorite now. Fortunately, the outside world does not know that he has not signed a long-term contract with us. Otherwise, many publishing companies will definitely want to poach corners. Shen Xu may also disclose the relevant information. You must Build a good relationship with Qin Chuan, no matter if you use the emotional card or the profit card, you must let him stay!"

She could see that after "The Devotion of Suspect X", Qin Chuan would definitely become a Tang monk.

Even suspense mystery novels can be sold well and can be saved, and other genres are unimaginable!
Even if they have to pay liquidated damages, many publishing companies are willing to grab best-selling authors.

Not to mention Qin Chuan, who doesn't have a penny of liquidated damages.

"Then can I promise Qin Chuan to sign a 15% royalty for the next book?"

"You only need to report to me in the entire company."
