I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 142 The Inner Ghost
"...night tour of Fengdu..."

"A night tour of Fengdu City..."

After Ji Zhuo told him the title of the next new book,

Every other time these two days, Ye Linhan would start reading novels and non-mo novels whenever he was free.
Search for this title.

Although I can't promise the dog, the author can't reveal it,

But as a loyal reader of a dog author, he also wants to read it.

"Night Tour Fengdu... what the hell, did you send it?"

Then click on the search of Feimo Novel APP,
A new book with no cover and just over [-] words appeared.

"Big Brother 123... This pen name really fits the style of the author of the dog."

I opened the book at once, looked from top to bottom,

I couldn't help but pause for a while at the pseudonym,

I looked at the comments again, there wasn't a single comment.

Well, I'm still the first reader?
Leave a note.

"Mortal one: first! I haven't read the book yet, so leave a message first!"

Excitedly left a comment, then bookmark, vote,

You don't need to read the book of the dog author, just vote and collect it.

Then, with anticipation, I opened the book and read it.

Chapter 1,
"The dog author's writing style feels better again, the dog author is cheating!"

Chapter 2,
"I feel like the protagonist has a story..."

Chapter 3,
"..."

The slower and slower I read, there are no other messy thoughts, just immersed in the book,

Emotions follow the ups and downs of the words in the book.

Then to Chapter 6, the emotions come to an abrupt end,

The dog author is out of context.

"Hmm... the style is a bit special, it doesn't look like an online novel... but it feels very interesting..."

"Well, it's very characteristic of a dog author's book."

"But damn, why did the dog author end up here?"

"Hey! Dog author!"

Looking at the end of Chapter 6, Ye Linhan thought about the book authored by the dog,

Then I couldn't help but curse again,
"This book seems to be about hell, if I make a video..."

Ye Linhan's eyes lit up, and he already had some inspiration for making a video.
If you make a book push or review video for this book,
Cutting in the direction of the underworld is good,

Thinking of this, Ye Linhan felt that his inspiration exploded,
Can't wait to start making new video releases now.

It's a pity that I can't post it,
I promised the dog author not to disclose his new book, nor to help him promote it.

Hey……

This video can only be posted after the dog author's new book becomes popular.

Now you can make the video in advance,
But this is a little time to polish and polish, and the video quality can be improved a little bit.

Ok……

As for whether the new book by the dog author can be popular?

There are other things to say...Ye Linhan feels that the author of the dog's move is actually superfluous,
It's as if... the dog author had the support of old readers when the results of his first book were booming...

Now the dog author is not writing worse and worse, but writing better and better.

Can it be hot?
But those who engage in literary and artistic creation will always have this kind of problem.

Ye Linghan understood.

Nodding his head, Ye Linhan exited to the first page of the dog author's new book,

Looking at the comments left by myself in the comment area,

Do you want to give another post-reading book review... I promised the dog author, so let's prevent the incipient development.

Praise is not given!

The author of the dog is still out of chapter!

……

"...Master, work harder and press me."

"Hiss... huh... just press it."

"Young man, I don't remember you not working hard?"

"Isn't this too much pressing? It won't be very sensitive any more."

In the massage parlor that he often goes to, Ji Zhuo found a teacher who was pressing the soles of his feet.
This sour... makes Ji Zhuo take a breath from time to time.

With the phone in his hand again, Ji Zhuo glanced at the news on Penguin Chat.

in the readership,
Most readers are still chatting about the previous "Bird in a Cage",
The Caged Bird has been on the market for less than a month, and most readers are still interested in discussing the book.

"Zeng Canghai: Last night I dreamed that I became Wu Mu in a caged bird,

Zeng Canghai: I am a bird’s-eye viewer, looking down from the sky on the ground, the cities on the ground are very prosperous, and people come and go very lively, but I feel aggrieved, uncomfortable, even sad for no reason.

Zeng Canghai: Then I woke up crying sadly... the author of his damn dog. "

No, you dream when you dream, why scold me,

I am a book writer.

"Grass growing in the canyon: I know! I know what happened next... You wake up uncomfortable, and then you wake up and find that the quilt is wrapped too tightly, and you are suffocating.

Zeng Canghai: Weeds, I am feeling sad here, can you not spoil the atmosphere.

Grass in the Canyon: All right, all right... I ate last night, and while eating, I remembered the last scene of "The Bird in a Cage", and then my heart was poked for no reason, and my heart suddenly felt sore...

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: We are all birds in cages, and we can’t escape...Suddenly, I realized another meaning of "Birds in Cages" by the author of the dog...We are also birds in cages, only the difference between the size of the cage and the size of the cage.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: We are bound by various things, survival, death, responsibility... It is difficult to live freely...

Xiao Heiwu: Please, please, don’t use the knife, don’t use the knife, the child will be stupid... By the way, I also understood the meaning of "The Bird in the Cage" after reading your words... We are dogs The bird in the author's cage was stabbed by him! "

"Growing grass in the canyon: Thank you! Wang Yiyun added another sentence: We are all birds in cages.

Zeng Canghai: By the way, is there any news about the new book by the author of Dog? "

At this moment, except for Ji Zhuo,
There are two other insiders who have seen the chat messages in this group,
But they all know that they don’t say anything.

Others don't know that the dog author's new book has been published,
As far as I know, why is there still a little excitement for no reason?
"I'm a mortal: I probably haven't posted it yet. The dog author's previous "Bird in a Cage" only got news after more than a month. It's still early."

Fancheng, in the room, Ye Linhan, who was looking at the chat records in the reader group, replied this message,

I apologize in my heart,
Friends, brothers, sorry.

Don't blame me for not telling you, blame the dog author for keeping me secret.

"30 per second: I don't have any news for now...um..."

Also in Shanghai, sitting on the sofa with legs curled up, after reading a few chapters updated by the author of the dog,

After scolding the dog several times, Yun Qingmu, the author of the dog, also replied to the group with this message,
Feeling a little guilty.

Hey... Everyone is so concerned about the new book of the dog author,

I lied.

I'm still the owner of the reader group, but I've become an inside ghost.

Blame the dog author!
But it is really a pleasure to see the new book of the dog author in advance.

"...Yun Qingmu, what are you laughing at?"

"No, no..."

"Serve the dishes, it's time for dinner."

"...Or just eat on the coffee table, I think the sofa is very comfortable."

"..."

……

"Xiaoxiaohao: Hey, you don't have any news about new books? Remember when there is news about a new book by a dog author, please post it in the group."

This will allow me to know sooner that I have been exposed.

Ji Zhuo looked at the message Yun Qingmu replied in the group,

There was a smile on his face, and then he also replied a message on the trumpet tacitly,

In the reader group, I instigated two people.

The group owners in the reader group are all my people, hey...

Ji Zhuo couldn't help evoking a smile on his face,

"hiss……"

Then Ji Zhuo took another breath, the cool air in the air-conditioned room was almost exhausted for him,
"Master, be gentle, be gentle, pinch this lightly."

"Young man...you can't do it with your shoulders upright."

Now he is already pressing Ji Zhuo's shoulder and neck,
Ji Zhuo cried out in pain.

But it's all so sore,
Ji Zhuo raised his phone and glanced again.

Hey, the readers in the reader group are really sincere,
My conscience for lying to them like this... well, I still can't rise to that height.

"Zeng Canghai: Hey...the dog author's new book hasn't happened yet, and he suddenly lost interest in reading "The Bird in the Cage" again.

Grass in the Canyon: Don’t worry, the dog author’s new book is going to use news, I will definitely send red envelopes to call you.

Grass in the canyon: Tell me, what will the dog author write in his new book.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Do you guess and I don't?
Grass in the canyon: Can you guess, can I guess, can you guess? "

Then the group began to repeat reading and nesting dolls,
But at this time,
Another contact sent a message,
Ji Zhuo took a look,
It turned out to be a squid,
"Squid: Boss, congratulations on the big sale of the new book."

Congratulations, squid seems to have sent a message before...

"Clumsy but extraordinary: we are both happy and happy, and the boss's book grades are also very good."

"Squid: Well, you're welcome..."

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

When did this politeness come and go, Ji Zhuo directly replied a message.

"Squid: Ahem... It's nothing serious, even my "Secret" is almost finished, and I'm about to start a new book. I want to ask the boss for advice."

Ji Zhuo's "Resuscitating Cthulhu" is almost a month ahead of the squid's mystery,

Now Ji Zhuo has finished writing several more books, and Squid's book is finally about to be finished.

After all, for those who write online novels, it is normal for a book to be updated every one or two years.

Unlike Ji Zhuo, a book of 30 to [-] words is written in one or two months.

"Squid: After all, the boss has a unique vision in choosing themes and genres."

Squid added,
"..."

I always feel that this sentence is scolding him for something.

But it's time to give advice to squid,

At least don't collide with the mythical theme of his new trumpet book.

I almost forgot that there was a mine before,
Fortunately, this Ray himself revealed himself.

"Clumsy and uncommon: what do you think of yourself?"

They are all old authors, so it is unlikely that Ji Zhuo really came to ask Ji Zhuo to help choose the subject matter, it must be because he has some ideas.

"Squid: Cough, my new book is a bit like writing science fiction, and I'm not sure, how do you feel, boss?"

Watching Ji Zhuo keep changing categories and themes, challenging new genres, constantly rushing out of the comfort zone,

Let the squid is really happy to see the hunter, and the heart is itchy,

I also want to try other subjects with a relatively large span... It is an old problem as an author.

At this moment, Squid sent the message, waiting for Ji Zhuo's answer,
He was really nervous, he was really afraid that Ji Zhuo would give him a negative opinion.

"Clumsy and uncommon: OK. Then write it.

squid:……

Squid: Boss, I really want to write too, but the span here is a bit too big, I have never been exposed to science fiction writing before. "

Seeing Ji Zhuo's decisive answer, he calmly hesitated again.

Ji Zhuo felt a little numb.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Do you still want to write, big brother?

Squid: I still want to write.I'm not being polite, but in fact, it's your courage to keep trying new categories that inspires me, and I want to challenge different themes. "

Let's take Ji Zhuo's words as a compliment.

"Squid: Boss, do you have any suggestions for writing science fiction?"

"Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Ji Zhuo was puzzled by these words.

Ordinarily speaking, his two sci-fi novels are both pretty good.
And the various attributes of the current main professional writer,
There's nothing wrong with giving me some advice.
But the problem is that I am following my own judgment,

I still follow the thinking when I wrote these two science fiction novels.

My judgment may not be right... When I wrote "Seven Days of Hell", I still thought that he would not be popular, whether it was popular or not,
The results of it……

Ji Zhuo fell into deep thought,
In the end, I can only reply,
"Clumsy and uncommon: follow your own ideas, don't take your grades too seriously.

Squid: Thank you, boss!Treat you to dinner another day! "

Ji Zhuo felt that what he said was nonsense, but Squid seemed very excited.

Squid is already preparing to write science fiction, and naturally has a lot of ideas,

I was just worried about the grades and hesitated.

Ji Zhuo's words just helped him strengthen his confidence.

Yes, I want to try to break out of my comfort zone, so how can I still care about my grades.

Sales data is just one of the data in a book, but it is difficult to write a really good book just by looking at the results.

"Clumsy and uncommon:..."

"Clumsy and extraordinary... um."

I don't know how the squid understands it.

Forget it, it’s fine if he doesn’t come to write myths.

Ji Zhuo's scalp felt a little numb,
Put down the phone.

"...Master, give me a head massage."

"...Okay, okay."

……

"Editor Qian, the sales statistics of our publishing house's books are available this week."

An editor walked into the editor-in-chief's office with a data sheet,
His face was still a little red.

"Looking at your face, there is good news!"

Editor-in-chief Qian was still holding "Bird in a Cage" in his hand and flipped through it repeatedly.

Seeing the editor come in, he looked up and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

The editor suddenly nodded, still a little excited,

"The sales volume of "The Bird in the Cage" has officially exceeded [-] copies!"

"Ok?"

Editor-in-Chief Qian's eyes lit up suddenly,
Although I probably knew the result, but now I heard the exact news,
Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help being excited,
"Take a look at me."

After taking the data sheet from the editor, Editor-in-Chief Qian read it excitedly,

don't look down,

The sales data of "Bird in a Cage" is on the top row.

"The total sales volume of "Bird in a Cage" across all channels this week is 42354, and the current total sales volume is 112434."

"it is good!"

In just two weeks, "The Bird in the Cage" has sold 11 copies.

After this month, it has sold nearly 20 copies.

Especially after winning the award from the cultural department, based on the publicity given by the cultural department,
The publishing house has also invested a lot of publicity resources,
The most important thing is the quality of this book, so that the word-of-mouth of the whole book has been fermented and spread,
There was no significant drop in sales this week.

20 copies a month, maybe a million after this year?
That's a super bestseller.

It is difficult for the entire publishing industry to produce one or two books with such sales volume a year.

Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help daydreaming,
Haha!

My own publishing house will have a million-selling book!

Editor Qian laughed so hard that he couldn't control the smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose wildly.

"...Editor Qian, there is one more thing."

This editor is also very excited,

The publishing house has a book with such a high sales volume, so why not pay a bonus this year?
But thinking of something else, I reined in my emotions and said to Editor-in-Chief Qian,

"A publishing house abroad sent an email to our publishing house."

"They say they want to act as an agent for the foreign publishing and sales of "The Bird in the Cage."

"Huh? Acting as an agent for the foreign publishing of "The Caged Bird"?"

Editor-in-Chief Qian smiled and turned serious.

"Well, yes, I have forwarded the email to Editor Qian's mailbox."

"The conditions over there are not bad."

"Okay, let me take a look first... By the way, pack up and get off work, I won't work overtime today, I treat you, let's go out for a meal!"

"it is good!"

……

Not long after, Ji Zhuo received the news from Editor-in-Chief Qian of Huating Publishing House.

"Big coincidence: Foreign publishers want to represent the foreign publishing rights of "The Caged Bird"?"

"Editor Qian: By the way, maybe I couldn't find your contact information, Mr. Bugong, so I sent the email to the publishing house, and I have forwarded it to you, Mr. Bugong."
