At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

The comic "The Path of Drama and Spirit" has been online for five months.

Su Xing once again received a progress update from the system on the long-term task of "promoting traditional culture".

[Congratulations to the host: The progress of the long-term sustainable task of "Promoting Chinese Traditional Culture" has been updated. The host's popularization of traditional opera has influenced more than 80 new people, and the reward of days of life value. ]

Su Xing sighed in his heart. The comic has been online for five months, and the two long-term task rewards have lasted less than 200 days. Opera is still a relatively niche hobby in this day and age.

Even though "Xiyun Lingtu" has a large readership now, most readers just like to read the fantastic and interesting storyline, as well as the gorgeous style of this comic.

Most readers will not really fall into the trap of opera just because of following this comic.

It seems that we need to develop other copyrights of this comic as soon as possible, and develop this IP in multiple directions and through multiple channels to influence more people.

Currently, "The Path of Drama and Spirituality" has updated nearly fifty episodes.

The first volume is almost finished.

Consider publishing physical comics.

In fact, since the serialization of "The Path of Drama and Spirituality" began, several publishing houses have contacted the studio. Before, because the story had not yet unfolded, she was not in a hurry to sign the publication.

Now, Su Xing plans to have a meeting with Zhang Xueyan to discuss the publishing partners.

There is also Qu Ying and his team. They had previously wanted to collaborate with Su Xing to shoot a short drama on opera themes, and now they can consider shooting the short drama.

After class that day, Su Xing discussed the publishing of comics with Zhang Xueyan.

During this period, Zhang Xueyan has carefully studied and compared several major comic publishing houses.

At present, the two are more optimistic about the publishing houses: 21st Century Publishing House, Beijing Comic Publishing House, and Posts and Telecommunications Press.

It depends on which of these publishing houses pays higher royalties and has better promotion channels.

……

February 5, noon.

Xia Xiaokui came to Peking University and signed a contract with Su Xing to publish an anthropomorphic picture album of Shanxi Museum's cultural relics.

She finally negotiated with the editor-in-chief that for the first print run of 10 copies, the starting tiered royalty rate would be 11%, for copies over 12 and less than 13, the royalty rate would be %, for copies over and less than , the royalty rate would be %, and for copies over , the royalty rate would be %.

Currently, only some of the top writers in our country can get 15% royalties.

Su Xing is very popular on the Internet nowadays, but the works she published are all environmental protection charity picture albums and cultural relics anthropomorphic picture albums, which are relatively niche. No matter how good the sales are, they cannot be compared with some well-known novels and other literary works. The highest tiered royalty rate is set at 13%, which is already very high.

Xia Xiaokui discussed the new tiered royalties with Su Xing online. After Su Xing agreed, she printed out the contract and came to see Su Xing.

Xia Xiaokui and Su Xing had lunch in the cafeteria of Peking University.

She smiled and said, "With you at Beijing University, I was able to have a few meals at the Beijing University cafeteria."

Su Xing also smiled, "In fact, our cafeteria is also open to tourists."

"Really? Then I'll bring my nephew over for a meal. He also said that he wants to go to Kyoto University when he grows up."

The two chatted while eating.

After dinner, they sat down in a cafe on campus and started talking about business.

Su Xing read the contract carefully and when he had no objections, he filled in the information and signed his name and pseudonym.

Xia Xiaokui talked to Su Xing about "The Path of Drama" again.

"I'm also following your comic, it's great, and when it's updated, I've started looking for opera excerpts to read."

“Really?” Su Xing was very surprised. He didn’t expect that Xia Xiaokui was also influenced by the comics and became her mission target.

"Yes, I wasn't interested in opera before, but now after listening to some excerpts, I'm getting more and more addicted to it."

Su Xing said: "After a while, the first volume of "The Path of Drama and Spirituality" may be published and released."

"Really? That's great, I will definitely support it." Xia Xiaokui's eyes were bright, and then she sighed softly: "It's a pity that our publishing house rarely publishes this kind of comic stories, otherwise we would have come to discuss cooperation with you a long time ago."

China Pictorial Publishing House has also published some comics, but they are basically historical story comics, children's fairy tale comics, four great classics series comics, etc., and it has not yet published any online serialized comics.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Each publishing house has different publishing fields."

The two chatted for a while, and Su Xing's afternoon class was almost time.

Xia Xiaokui said goodbye to Su Xing and left Peking University.

Su Xing put the contract into his schoolbag and hurried to class.

……

After Su Xing finished his afternoon class, he prepared to go back to the dormitory, put all his books back there, and then go to the studio.

When she was almost downstairs to her dormitory, she saw several classmates stopping and looking at the entrance.

She looked carefully at the door and saw a familiar figure and someone who looked somewhat familiar.

The person Su Xing is very familiar with is Pei Shiqi, and the boy who looks somewhat familiar is Lu Jiayou.

At this moment, Lu Jiayou was holding Pei Shiqi's arm and saying something.

Su Xing's brows furrowed involuntarily, and she took a few quick steps forward.

As she got closer, she heard what Lu Jiayou said.

"Qiqi, what will it take for you to forgive me? I really don't want to break up with you."

"You let go!"

Pei Shiqi shook her arms but failed to shake off Lu Jiayou's hand.

"No!" Lu Jiayou said stubbornly, "How about we make peace?"

Pei Shiqi's expression was already somewhat impatient, "Lu Jiayou, can you please stop doing this? You know very well that we are not suitable, why bother with this?"

"Why? We've been together for so long! We were fine before, but now you say it's not suitable? Am I not good enough for you?"

Pei Shiqi smiled, "Lu Jiayou, are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth? We got along well before, but that was because it was just the two of us. Now your family has gotten involved. Tell me the truth, can I get along with your family?"

"But... they just came to see me these few days and left soon. They won't disturb us..."

"Haha..." Pei Shiqi sneered, "Really? Won't it bother you? Don't your parents want to live in Beijing for a long time and live in my house? Doesn't your sister want my family to set up a company for your brother-in-law to manage?"

When Lu Jiayou heard Pei Shiqi's words, his face suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously glanced at the classmates who were watching the fun around him.

"Qiqi, I have already persuaded my parents to go back as soon as possible. As for my sister, don't listen to her nonsense. She only studied up to junior high school and has rarely left my small place. She doesn't have much experience. She thinks my brother-in-law, a college graduate, can manage a company. How is that possible? I have already told her to let my brother-in-law go back to work and not think about those unrealistic things."
