After a few seconds, Lin Yuan asked, "Is it funny this time?"

Sun Yaohuo raised his head in a daze, and then happily slapped his thigh: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha."

correct.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that there are no Three Kingdoms in this world, and naturally there is no such allusion that a person who knows current affairs is a hero.

So what exactly is Sun Yaohuo laughing at?

Lin Yuan looked at the other party with sympathy.

It seems that the senior's smile is very low.

So the two had a tacit understanding for the first time, and each had a meal.

Halfway through the meal, Sun Yaohuo spoke again to try to cheer up the atmosphere: "I have listened to the two recent songs of my junior, and I really like them!"

Although it was to enliven the atmosphere, Sun Yaohuo's words were from the heart.

When "Born Like Summer Flowers" became popular, while the company was discussing Xianyu, some people also said that Xianyu might have been lucky enough to write this song.

Affected by this statement, Sun Yaohuo once thought that this was the case for Lin Yuan.

In the end, he didn't expect Lin Yuan to write two more songs later, and they were both extremely popular. This junior is simply a genius, and he was definitely lucky to meet him back then!

Lin Yuan said politely, "Thank you."

Sun Yaohuo smiled, and said with some yearning: "It is estimated that in the future, only the big-name singers of the company can cooperate with you, my junior. Now the minimum standard for cooperation with you is Zhao Yingchrome."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's too expensive."

Sun Yaohuo was stunned: "What is too expensive?"

Lin Yuan said: "Don't you know? The share of big names is very high."

Sun Yao was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Yuan was telling a joke again: "Could it be that the junior still wants to cooperate with the newcomers? The newcomers in the company must be too happy. If I can cooperate with the junior, I am willing to participate in the share." Ah, I am shining, don't divide it!"

To fire, not to divide?

This is the self-cultivation of tool people.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Sun Yaohuo recognized Lin Yuan's sense of humor more and more: "Of course it's true, junior, don't make fun of me. It's impossible to fall in love with me when you reach this level, but it's okay, junior help I am very grateful for my debut, and now I am doing well thanks to you, although there is no big fire, I can still make announcements from time to time."

"Senior."

Lin Yuan looked at Sun Yaohuo in front of him again: "Does your vocal range have three octaves?"

"what?"

孙耀火道：“我的舒适区在d2到a4之间，真混音域是c2到c5，假声最高音目前是a5。”

Lin Yuan was thoughtful: "That's enough."

Sun Yaohuo was stunned: "What is enough?"

"It's nothing, let's eat." Lin Yuan said.

Before that time, he had to wait a while before releasing new songs.

However, senior Sun Yaohuo can become a tool for "Red Rose". His timbre and range have met Lin Yuan's requirements, and his singing emotions are also in place.

Of course, the decisive factor is not this.

……

A few days later, Silver and Blue Library.

The editor-in-chief looked at Yang Feng: "I read the "Net King" you handed over. To be honest, the writing is very good. Both the character creation and the writing style are very sophisticated. The sophisticated ones hardly look like newcomers. The only problem is that this The audience of the subject matter is too narrow!"

"But it's new enough."

Yang Feng struggled: "Judging from the [-]-word plot and the outline sent by the author, it feels like it will be a good story. Maybe readers want to change their tastes recently. After all, the themes in the market are very homogeneous now. Seriously, readers will inevitably experience aesthetic fatigue."

"Old Shen, what do you think?"

The editor-in-chief looked to the deputy editor-in-chief on the right.

The deputy editor pondered: "Because the subject matter is too unpopular, I am not optimistic about "The King of Net" like you, but from the perspective of the story itself, I think it is a pity to give up. How about we make a compromise?"

"what do you mean?"

"After reviewing all the manuscripts, we will consider putting it in the No.5 of this Supernova Awards. In addition, we should be more conservative in publishing. We will print 50 copies in advance, and the top four will follow the old rules and release [-] copies in advance. book."

Only five books will be selected for the Supernova Awards.

Normally, the initial investment of the five books is to print 50 copies, but the prospect of "Net King" is not expected to be good, so the deputy editor wants to be conservative and print [-] copies first to test the market's reaction.

"I agree."

The editor-in-chief thought for a while, then nodded, and then he said with a wry smile: "Let's use this novel to explore the way, because I also want to enrich the genre of the novel market, after all, the consequence of homogenization of themes is that the entire publishing industry It is a joint responsibility. For this reason, several other large publishing houses in Qinzhou have recently launched some new themes. As a market giant, we, Yinlan Bookstore, can’t lag behind. Although most of these attempts at new themes have failed, I believe Yang Feng you That's what it means."

Yang Feng nodded.

He admitted that the sales of "Net King" may not be as good as the top four in the Supernova Awards, but the market needs some new themes to appear, and the emergence of new themes must be guided by the publishing house. Willingness to accept new themes", newcomers will not rush to write adventures in other worlds.

from this angle.

Chu Kuang took a wave of bonuses.

Because if you only consider the sales volume, with such a narrow audience as "Net King", there is a high probability that you will not get a chance to publish it, so it is already a good result for this novel to print [-] copies first.

"Well."

The editor-in-chief said: "Yang Feng, you should get in touch with Chu Kuang first, and ask him to send over a manuscript of about [-] words. At the end of January, the top five winners of the Supernova Awards will be announced, and the five novels will be officially published in February."

"clear."

Yang Feng nodded.

Chapter 40 Royalty

According to the contact information left when submitting the manuscript, Yang Feng contacted Lin Yuan that night: "Hello, are you Chu Kuang himself? I am Yang Feng, the review editor of the Silver Blue Bookstore Supernova Awards."

"Hello, I am."

Lin Yuan answered the phone in the dormitory.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "Congratulations, after the decision of our supernova review team, the novel "Net King" will be selected as the No.5 of this supernova award, which means that your novel will have the opportunity to be published. I can send it to you by email, add to the address book first?"

Lin Yuan said happily, "Okay."

Although the system was bragging about it, he was not sure that the novel "The King of the Internet" would pass the Newcomer Award. This call made him feel more at ease, and it seemed that the system was still trustworthy.

After hanging up the phone.

The two added contacts.

Yang Feng quickly sent a contract, which stated that the initial publication volume of "Net King" was 20 copies, and the price was 5.00 yuan per copy, with a royalty of [-]%, which is a relatively standard price for newcomers.

Explain here.

The so-called royalties are not conventional taxes understood by ordinary people, but copyright royalties exercised by publishing companies, which are the monetary benefits collected by the creators or copyright holders of intellectual property rights from other people who use their intellectual property rights.

Lin Yuan didn't think it was a trap.

If it was the physical novel market in the previous life, the publisher would basically buy out the copyright for the first book published by the newcomer, and there would be no payment for subsequent reprints. It would be better when the newcomer accumulated a certain amount of capital, unless the newcomer had a connection with the publishing house, You can get special treatment, so in this respect, Blue Star is already quite conscientious.

Read the contract.

Lin Yuan agreed to sign.

By the way, he also directly sent the next [-]-word plot of "The King of Net" to the other party. The publishing house needs time to make some corrections to the novel, such as some sentences are inappropriate, or there are typos.

This Lin Yuan understands very well.

It's a pity that they basically won't have this opportunity, because the system's typo correction is the most accurate, and there may be slight adjustments to such subjective things as the choice of words and sentences.

Received the manuscript.

Yang Feng was not surprised.

Now that he has submitted the manuscript, he must be ready to pass it. It is normal for the plot of the first volume to be written in advance, but when he was about to chat with Chu Kuang, he was surprised to find that the other party had gone offline up!

Yang Feng: "..."

In this industry, new writers generally lick editors, even some not-so-famous novelists will lower their stance in order to get special care from editors, and most of them dare to tremble when faced with editors’ reminders He locked himself in the small black room and coded obediently.

But this Chu Kuang is different.

After chatting with him about the contract, he went offline directly, which made Yang Feng a little confused. He didn't expect Chu Kuang, a newcomer, to kneel and lick himself, and he even disliked the kind of author kneeling and editing. phenomenal.

But the problem is.

I also want to have a good exchange with Chu Kuang, after all, he is very optimistic about Chu Kuang, so he originally planned to chat with him about the market and the future direction of novel creation, and give some professional guidance and suggestions by the way...

Facing the black head at the moment.

He choked back the words abruptly.

Considering that the other party was still a student and probably had no social experience, Yang Feng wasn't angry, but just thought it was funny. If he still wanted to develop in this industry, this kid would know how scary editors are in the future.

……

It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't want to talk to Yang Feng, but that he's going to sleep now. Although the system has increased Lin Yuan's lifespan, it hasn't improved Lin Yuan's physique by the way, so Lin Yuan's body is still very fragile. The consequences of going to bed on time can be serious.

Lin Yuan is a patient.

Maybe his terminal illness has been effectively treated, but this does not mean that Lin Yuan, a patient, will be strong and healthy. Compared with ordinary people, he is still a sick child, so the operation of the system is in line with the medical concept.

This is actually quite troublesome.

Lin Yuan considered whether to exercise or not.

But his body needs to be exercised scientifically and moderately, after all, his foundation is too poor, so don't accidentally damage yourself by training.

"Ding dong!"

The system seemed to sense Lin Yuan's troubles, and unexpectedly dropped a task: "Sensing the host's desire for health, triggering a special task, if the host completes the special task, the system will guarantee that the host will live to 30 years old without disease." Good health."

[Task name: The body is the capital of the revolution]

[Mission Content: Literature and Music Reputation Breaking Millions Each]

[Mission reward: The host can live to be 30 years old in good health without disease or disaster]

[Task Note: The so-called physical health standard means that the host has a body that has been carefully conditioned by the system, and its quality is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, this task will continue until the host is 27 years old.】

It appears that this task has a long duration.

As for the reason why it expires before the age of 27, it is because 27 years old is the limit of Lin Yuan's current lifespan. If he has not completed the task at the age of 27, Lin Yuan can basically die forever.

"catch."

Lin Yuan has always been willing to refuse any task.

Anyway, even if the task fails, there is no penalty.

It's just that Lin Yuan didn't expect to have such a special task. If he is healthy and can live to the age of 30 without disease or disaster, Lin Yuan will buy himself a system-level insurance if he completes the task.

Sounds good.

But then again.

It is not easy for the prestige of literature and the prestige of music to break one million each. From the rising speed of Lin Yuan's prestige of music, it can be deduced by analogy: "I do the task very hard, you must overcome the illness."

system:"……"

System: "As long as the host can complete a series of tasks issued by the system, the system will overcome the host's illness. For the system, the host is the master of the system! The system will self-destruct when the host dies."

Be loyal.

Lin Yuan nodded and fell asleep.

Several roommates in the dormitory saw that Lin Yuan was starting to sleep, and consciously turned off the lights. Those who were on the phone silently went to the corridor outside the door, and those who were playing on the computer silently put on their earphones, so as not to disturb Lin Yuan by these sounds. .

Lin Yuan goes to bed before nine every day.

Other dormitories may be very happy at nine o'clock, but in Lin Yuan's dormitory, no one will make a sound after nine o'clock, because the roommates also know that Lin Yuan is not in good health, so they have been accommodating Lin Yuan.

"It seems that we can go out and live."

The roommates were very accommodating to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan couldn't take it for granted.

He is not a man who is weak and reasonable.
