I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 164 The Finale of Night Tour Fengdu City
"You should go back."

"Well... then I'm leaving, brother, see you next time."

Xiao Pangdun also finished eating the cake he was holding in his hand, waved at Ji Zhuo coolly, and left.

Ji Zhuo watched the little chubby go away,

Fall into silence again.

He was thinking about two things.

The first is whether you want to tell him a ghost story next time you see this little chubby, the kind that makes you unable to sleep at night,

The second is... the cake in Xiaopangdun's hands seems to be quite delicious... Do you want to buy a piece and try it?

Ji Zhuo fell into deep thought.

Then the evening wind blows with the rustling of branches and leaves,
Ji Zhuo faced the wind again and fell into the comfort of the evening breeze.

……

"...Dude, see, I got it!"

Great Britain.

The roommate of the foreign student walked back to the dormitory with a book in his hand.
He shook excitedly towards the foreign students.

"Believe me, just because I turned those two pages when I first came back, this is a great science fiction work, an unprecedented science fiction masterpiece!"

The British student exaggerated.

The international student turned his head and glanced helplessly, then turned back again,

He said the same thing last time, and after reading it, he doubted life, suspected that there was shit in his head.

"My friend, what's your reaction? This is a sci-fi masterpiece!"

"You said the same thing last time."

"It's different this time. Last time I was fooled by the damn author."

"You said the same thing last time. In addition, you also said that the author is your favorite science fiction writer."

"If he keeps recommending this kind of high-quality science fiction, then he is my favorite science fiction writer."

"Stop talking, I've already bought the book, and now I'm going to finish reading it!"

Watching his roommate excitedly spread out the science fiction novel in his hand and start reading,
The international student shook his head, then turned his head, and then fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand,
Swiping domestic social platforms,
Watch some news.

Then... At the end of the trending search, he saw an article - ""The Bird in the Cage" was published overseas, and the English version was released simultaneously in multiple countries."

""Caged bird"?"

Seeing this somewhat familiar name, the international student couldn't help but pause,

Then she quietly turned her head and looked at the book that the roommate next to her was holding in her hand,

The roommate was looking at it excitedly. The title on the book cover was similar to the translation of "Bird in a Cage".

Is this the book?
It's all on the hot search, and the sales of this book in China are really good?

Foreign students are suddenly interested,
Then I saw his roommate was reading a book,

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "Cool!"

International student: "..."

The foreign student who was thinking about this book almost trembled when he heard the shout.

"...Is this book really good?"

The roommate listened to the question, raised his head but remained silent, as if he was deep in thought.

"?"

"I changed my mind man, the sci-fi writer I liked before isn't my favorite writer anymore."

"The book is not good-looking?"

"No, the book is really good-looking, I've decided, from now on the author of this book...um, no...work, is my favorite author!"

Somewhat lamely, he read out the author of the book seriously, and looked at the cover while reading, and then the roommate said excitedly.

"But man, if you want to read this book, you may have to buy it yourself, because I haven't finished it yet."

International student: "..."

"However, I don't know if I can buy it. When I went to the bookstore just now, I saw that many people were already buying this book. Half of them are Chinese, and the other half are Britons."

International student: "..."

……

"The author of the dog is awesome, the author of the dog is the best in the world!"

"Upstairs, be humble, especially don't let the dog author see, otherwise he will have to change from two shifts a day to one shift a day."

Just under the hot search that the foreign student saw just now, a group of readers of the dog author are gathering,
They were discussing lively, and at the same time scolded the author of a dog.

"...Friends, do you have any comrades in Great Britain? Can you buy the English version of "The Bird in the Cage" by the author of this dog, I want to collect it."

"+1"

"What I said is that "Night Tour Fengdu City" is updated twice a day. It turns out that I am busy here with the overseas publication of "Bird in a Cage". .#Pazi wipes the tears from the corners of his eyes.jpg."

"Where did the gods come from upstairs? By the way, I also want to buy an English version."

"Daigou, Daigou, I am in Great Britain, breeding Daigou..."

"Purchasing a hammer, Delwin Publishing House has an official Jingpin Tao store, if you want to buy it, just go up and buy it, won't it be over?"

"Thank you! Almost didn't notice!"

"Thank you +1"

"...Upstairs, can't you talk about this kind of thing in private, anger! It's out of stock, woo woo woo..."

"The domestic Jingpin Tao store has thousands of copies in stock. What's the matter, look down on the consumption power of my dog ​​author readers."

"The author of the dog issued an announcement...you can buy what you need, you don't need to buy the English version for support...we are publishing overseas, not exporting to domestic sales."

"Dog the author's conscience... But he is a novel writer, he knows a lot. I am willing to buy it, can he control it, and update it for me!"

……

Ji Zhuo is also looking at the online comments now,
After reading these news, he was speechless for a while, he did post an announcement in the new book to let readers consume rationally,

Because the editor-in-chief Lou of Delwin Publishing House asked him about this matter, should he prepare more English-version goods through domestic channels.

This question made Ji Zhuo feel complicated.

Ji Zhuo feels that he is a person with a bottom line,
You can squeeze the wool of the system, but don't scratch the skin on the readers.

For most domestic readers, there is no need to purchase the English version if it is true.

Most of the domestic readers who want to buy the English version are not for the collection, it is purely because the brain is hot at the moment, and the atmosphere is here.

It must have been profitable for Delwin Press.

Asking Ji Zhuo is out of respect for Ji Zhuo.

The final arrangement is,
This batch of goods has gone out, and the next batch will be replenished slowly.

The main reason is that the number of first editions printed by Delwin Press is only those,
Most of the stock of the English version of "The Caged Bird" has been spread to the online and offline channels of Great Britain and other English-speaking countries.

……

"... Zhang, I think you will definitely not be able to buy this novel if you want to buy it now."

From the moment she got the book and sat there, this roommate from Great Britain never stopped watching "The Caged Bird".

Looking at the book, he looked heavy for a while, and yelled for a while, as if he had drunk too much.

After reading the book for a while, it was dark outside, but the roommate suddenly became quiet,
Then he raised his head again and spoke seriously to the international students.

The international student turned his head, looked at the roommate again, and nodded,

"I think so."

After so long, he has learned about the domestic sales and evaluation of "The Bird in the Cage",

In summary, it is a high-quality, high-selling sci-fi work.

So I didn't ask myself how the quality of this roommate's book was.
But the roommate closed the book and said excitedly,

"You know, I've never seen such a pertinent evaluation. This is indeed a crazy science fiction novel!"

"I have decided that from now on, this 'Bu Gong' will be my favorite science fiction writer!"

"What about the science fiction writer from before?"

"Oh, sorry, he's good, but I like 'No Work' now, no work sci-fi, unbelievable that his first sci-fi is that good!"

"I'm already looking forward to his new work."

"Then do you know, this author actually has other works in China. Not just science fiction."

"Brother, my best friend!"

Hearing the foreign student's words, the roommate suddenly looked serious,
Then he walked up to the foreign student,

"Can you tell me the names of these novels, I don't feel like I can get through a long day tomorrow without reading novels by this author."

The roommate said seriously, and then seemed to think of something again,
First handed the "Bird in a Cage" to the foreign students,

"My best friend, my best roommate, I almost forgot to give you this book, so I will give this book... and I will lend it to you to read. You can read this excellent sci-fi masterpiece!"

"Tell me what's going on."

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

"...That is, the author's other books should be written in the Chinese language. Can you translate it for me?"

"You just translate it for me, we don't record it, it's not an infringement."

Hearing this, the international student hesitated.

He hasn't read these books yet, so he can translate them when he reads them.
I just feel that my translation level can't keep up with the author's writing style... Well, he also learned this name.

"Okay then, let's talk a little bit..."

"Thank you."

Hearing the foreign student's promise, the roommate sat down next to the foreign student,
After thanking him, his face was solemn again, and the whole person fell silent.

The foreign student glanced at him,
"Why are you so serious?"

"Oh... I think I should listen to the author's story with a little more respect."

Listen to this,

Some foreign students don't know what to say.

You just watched "The Bird in the Cage" and yelled, but it wasn't like that when you were excited.

"... What we are reading now is another science fiction book by this author, called "Seven Days of Hell."

"hell?"

"Yes, hell."

……

"Editor Lou: Mr. Ji, the first-day sales of the English version of "Bird in a Cage" have been counted."

"Editor Lou: Overseas sales are not bad. About 1.5 copies were sold on the first day, of which Great Britain and American California sold the most, followed by other English-speaking countries... The thousands of copies in China are counted separately, not counted. Among them."

noon.

Ji Zhuo who got up from the bed was still sleepy,
I yawned, picked up my phone, and saw a message from Editor-in-Chief Lou of Delwin Press in the morning,
"Clumsy and uncommon: Thank you, you have worked hard to promote the operation of the publishing house."

Soon, Editor-in-Chief Lou responded with a message.

"Editor Lou: Mr. Ji is polite. It mainly depends on the quality of Mr. Ji's books. Many readers who bought the novel that afternoon were recommended by other readers. At present, the feedback from readers of the novel is very good. The sales volume in the future should increase. The publishing house will also cooperate with various channels to increase publicity, and the printing house is also continuing to print the English version of "The Bird in the Cage."

"Editor Lou: In addition, other language translations of "Bird in a Cage" are also being translated, and will be released after the first month of sales of the English version of "Bird in a Cage".

Editor-in-chief Lou smiled back, very excited.

The first-day sales volume of more than 1 copies is very small for the entire overseas market.
It can't compare to the extent that the sequels of those overseas super bestsellers sold millions of copies a day,
But this is the first book for a pure newcomer to the overseas market,
Even with the influence of old domestic readers and the operation and promotion of the publishing house, in the end it is because of the quality of this book.

And obviously, I didn't encounter the problem of acclimatization in other types of novels.

According to the current sales situation and the expected sales growth in the future,
This "Bird in a Cage" is bound to become a super bestseller in overseas markets!
And here, for editor-in-chief Lou, it is naturally a matter of joy and even excitement,
The overseas publication of "Bird in a Cage" was negotiated by her personally, and waiting for "Bird in a Cage" to be sold overseas, her ability to read books naturally cannot escape.

Maybe the position can still move up?
"Clumsy and uncommon: OK, thank you Editor-in-Chief Lou."

Ji Zhuo didn't think too much about Editor-in-Chief Lou,
Just thinking about a question,
If "The Bird in the Cage" sells well overseas,

Can the royalties he received be able to fulfill half of his wishes... such as buying a villa in Shanghai.

Suddenly, it seemed that this wish was not so far away.

But wait for the money to come in hand,
At least several months...

Ji Zhuo simply thought about it,

Ended the communication with Editor-in-Chief Lou,

Roll over and get up.

I yawned again.

wash up,

Then I entered the study and started today's codeword.

……

"Crackling..."

The sound of keyboard tapping in the study continued to ring,

Ji Zhuo was facing the computer, typing, another afternoon.

On the coding software, Ji Zhuo has already written the two chapters to be coded today,
But the hands didn't stop moving,
After so many days,

"Night Tour Fengdu City" is finally about to finish writing,

Ji Zhuo is going to finish writing "Night Tour in Fengdu City" today,
Then began to prepare the two new books of "Cultivate the Way of the Village Brightly, and Keep the Chen Cang in the Dark".

outside the window,

Today there is a drizzle, and the drizzle was hit by the wind on the window glass, sliding down with traces,
It's dark outside the window,

Naturally, the lights in the study seemed brighter.

from afternoon to evening,

And from dusk to night it's getting dark,
Ji Zhuo finally wrote the finale of "Night Tour in Fengdu City" today.

"Crackling..."

There was one final click of keyboard tapping, then it stopped abruptly,

At the end of the chapter, Ji Zhuo typed the last three words of "Night Tour Fengdu City" - (End of the book).

"call……"

Taking a long breath, Ji Zhuo moved his sore fingers,
Looking at the finale chapter on the codeword software, a smile appeared on his face with satisfaction,

Simply checked the typo,
Opened the background of the writer.

While updating, he glanced at the current data of "Night Tour Fengdu City".

“Night Tour Fengdu City”

Favorites 26w, recommendations 135w, comments 1.2w, total number of rewards 2.6w, monthly pass 2w.

The average order is 3.9w.

The collection of non-ink novels has become real, and subscriptions are much better than they seem.

But this is only the achievements of non-ink novels.

In fact, "Night Tour Fengdu City" also uses Shiyue.com as a channel, and it is launched on Shiyue.com at the same time.

It is said that "Night Tour Fengdu City" has a good average subscription score over there, but Ji Zhuo can't see the specifics in the backstage of non-ink novel writers.
It’s just from what I heard from Pen & Ink that it’s probably in the early [-]s—there are still some readers who can read without switching websites, and adding an app to the phone is also a hassle.

Looking at the data in the background,

Ji Zhuo felt that he had nothing to say.

I had expected it a long time ago, I watched it every day, and I gave up when it was put on the shelves.
I just hope that the results can be even better, and see if I can get back the 200 million blood of the system wool in two months.

Hmm... It is estimated that based on an average subscription of 50 yuan, Ji Zhuo's subscription income of [-] yuan in the past two months is not bad.

It depends on whether the later copyright can recover some blood...

Ji Zhuo took a look,
Post today's update,

Look at the manuscripts saved in the codeword software... If the usual update amount is used, the finale will be reached tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Forget it, it’s not too bad a day or two.

Didn't you call me short all day long?Grandpa will stand up today and show you.

So, with a wave of Ji Zhuo's hand, he directly updated the next few chapters with the finale.

Then contentedly wait for new comments from readers.

(End of this chapter)
