I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 172 You all want to plot my new book

"According to the type and subject matter of the host's new book, the goal of the main professional task of this issue has been determined as, to create a work with a physical sales volume of not less than 15 or an equivalent achievement, with a work of no less than 20 words."

After confirming that the next book is "Seven Sins",
The current mission objectives of the system have also been determined.

Published sales of 15, which is the achievement that needs to be achieved within three months after the work is released, averages [-] per month.

This is the total sales volume in the entire overseas market, and it is also the standard for a bestseller.

The system is quite optimistic about his new book?I don't know where to look.

For this kind of newcomers and new books, works written on serious subjects can sell [-] copies a month?
Ji Zhuo shook his head and looked away from the system interface.

……

I signed the signature in the middle of the night last night, and even the game teammates didn't bother to go up to the trap,
Ji Zhuo's hand was almost scrapped... Then he signed about five or six hundred copies.

At this moment, I have slept until noon,
It was a cloudy day yesterday, and it finally rained today.

At this moment, there is still drizzle outside the bedroom window, the breeze is blowing, the wind is blowing the rain, and the sound of the rain hitting the window pane is quite suitable for sleeping.

However, Ji Zhuo still got up from the bed, and a logistics guy called him, and the [-] books from Delwin Publishing House had already arrived.

He had to get up and open the door.

"Ah~"

Ji Zhuo yawned and got up from the bed,
Before leaving the bedroom door, the living room door rang,

"... sir, your goods have arrived."

……

"...Sir, do you run a bookstore with so many books?"

Several logistics guys came in and out of the living room, bringing in big cardboard boxes one after another,

There was no place to put them in the living room, so we could only pile them on top of the original big cardboard boxes.

A logistics boy looked at him curiously and spoke up.

Ji Zhuo was speechless,

Just looking at the ten more boxes of books in the living room,
It felt like after a good night's sleep, the wrist that had been relieved began to ache again.

"...Sir, let's go."

A few delivery boys moved ten boxes of books into the house and left, closing the door behind them as they left.

Ji Zhuo looked at a book in the living room that had already been signed and had not yet been signed,
Let's just say that a book weighs a catty, and the two thousand books here are a ton of books.

Ji Zhuo was a little silent.

and then thinking,

In the English version, do you sign the English version with a pseudonym or the Chinese version.

Ji Zhuo thought about it and decided to sign in Chinese,
It's definitely not because the word "Bugong" has fewer strokes...

……

"call……"

Forget it, take your time.

Anyway, it is not too urgent to see Delwin Publishing House and Huating Publishing House.

Ji Zhuo let out a long breath, didn't bother with the books piled up in the living room, and turned around to wash up.

……

"...Editor-in-Chief, "Night Tour Fengdu City" has already started to be put on sale on the online channel, and the offline channel is also on sale today as agreed."

"How are the current sales?"

"There is no sales statistics from the offline channel yet, but the online channel seems to sell well. Many readers have given good reviews before receiving the goods."

"It's just that... many readers on our official website are saying that they want a signed book of "Night Tour Fengdu City"."

"Let's take it easy. Only one thousand copies of "The Bird in the Cage" were sent over, and Delwin Publishing House also sent over one thousand copies. How can I sign it?"

Huating Science Fiction Publishing House, in the office, Editor-in-Chief Qian said with a smile on his face.

"...Then will there be a signed version of the books from the Magic Capital Publishing House? We don't have any..."

"Night Tour in Fengdu City" was jointly published by the two publishing houses.

"Then the author must be able to sign it, and it's not like he has eight hands. And he must know that he can't sign it without work. Who made him slow down, heh..."

As he spoke, Editor-in-Chief Qian couldn't help laughing.

then……

Editor-in-chief Tao called.

"...You old bastard, you let the author sign so many books for you, and you've taken all the cheap money!"

"...Hey, how do you talk? It's because I move fast, but you react slowly, and you're relying on me."

"..."

"I see that your publishing house is warming up, [-] signed books, right... give me two copies?"

"...Good guy, you're letting me fill my pocket. You agreed to sign a thousand autographed books, and I'll give you two in advance?"

"Should I give it or not? Let me tell you something... Damn it, I don't know who in your publishing house came up with the bad idea of ​​mixing autographed books with normal books and buying them by luck."

"I bought ten copies of "Bird in a Cage" before, but I didn't get a signed book, so you can tell me that your publishing house is doing something shady!"

"Old Tao, you are begging for help, and you are still so aggressive... If you want to, get the signed version of "Seven Days of Hell" in exchange."

"...You didn't grab it either?"

"You showed me "Seven Days of Hell" at the time, so where can I snatch it?"

"Okay...a copy of "Seven Days of Hell" for two copies of "The Caged Bird""

"Why?"

"Based on the signed version of "Seven Days of Hell", the total is two hundred. Rare things are more expensive."

"Okay... Anyway, I have more than you. There is no shortage of one or two books."

"..."

……

"Father... tell me, where does the Wangchuan River flow from? Will it eventually flow into the sea of ​​the underworld?"

"Could it be that the shepherd boy also found the Wangchuan River when he was looking for immortals? There are immortals here."

Weekend, a rare vacation.

After sleeping late in the morning, the man and his wife took their daughter to the park for a walk.

But it didn't take long to take a walk, and after taking a break, the girl asked her father about something again.

Children are like this, some things are forgotten when they turn around, and some things are never forgotten.

It has been a few days since the story of "Night Tour in Fengdu City" has been finished.
The man had finished speaking to her daughter for several days, and when she remembered, the little girl asked some more questions,
Sometimes several stories are strung together to ask.

"Maybe, Dad has never been to the underworld, I don't know."

It’s not even mentioned in this novel, the man replied,

Then I saw my daughter's eyes lit up,
The man was afraid that his daughter would tell him what he would go to hell to see,

I quickly interrupted,
"I've had enough rest now, do you want to continue walking?"

"Well... Dad, when do you think the author's new story will be finished?"

The little girl no longer struggled with the previous problem, nodded, and followed her parents forward,

He raised his head again and asked a new question.

I also want to know.

The man didn't know how to answer, so he could only reluctantly reply,
"The author needs to conceive well to write a story, and it may take a while to write it. Maybe wait until next week, and there will be a new story next week."

The wife next to him saw that her husband was having a headache, and couldn't help smiling.

……

"I've already got the physical copy of the dog author's new book "Night Tour in Fengdu City"! Damn it, I really didn't expect that such a small city like mine would have such readers of the dog author."

"[Picture] There are only a few copies of "Night Tour Fengdu" left on the bookshelf, and there are a few eager readers in front of it. jpg."

In Fancheng, Ye Linhan posted a post on the website again.

Nothing, Versailles.

Then below, there are naturally some sand sculpture netizens' comments,
Ye Linhan watched happily.

"...Heh, up master, you don't know yet, "The Bird in the Cage" has a signed version again. There will definitely be a signed collector's version of "Night Tour Fengdu City" in the future. I don't even buy this ordinary version!"

The top hot comment, the most likes,
Then the first reply below pierced his strong disguise.

"Can't you buy it? I really didn't expect that one day there would be scalpers for things like dog author novels. No matter how you think about it, it's all the fault of you people."

Then came the second hot comment.

"...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I can only buy it online, and it will take two or three days to arrive."

Then there are the rest of the comments.

"I belong to the publishing house. Please remember not to buy it from scalpers... This time, the two publishing houses jointly publish the novel by the dog author. The stock is very full, and there will never be a shortage."

"How much?"

"It's just very good... Both publishing houses have published novels by dog ​​authors this time, and they have a lot of experience."

"...By the way, I'm new here. Do you think this book is good?"

"It's good, there are online versions of non-mo novels, but if you're interested, I recommend you to buy the physical book. It's a different flavor to read with the book in your hand. I'm going to read it for the second time right now."

Looking at these comments,

Ye Linhan turned his head again, and looked at "Night Tour in Fengdu City" which he put on the table.

Satisfied, he stretched out his hand and flipped through it again, then put it aside again,
There is basically no difference between the content and the online one, so he has seen it all, and it is purely for collection.

However, after the publishing house's publicity and the publicity of readers who bought the book, some readers who didn't know about "Night Tour in Fengdu City" also knew about it.

Added many new readers to the novel.

"... I don't know when and where the dog author will publish the next book."

……

Penguin message.

"Ben Mo: Boss, do you have any ideas for the new book?

Pen and ink: Do you still use the trumpet this time?If you plan to post it on Feimo.com, I will definitely help you keep it secret like last time. "

"30 per second: Are you dating?
30 per second: [Positioning] Come to the two skewers barbecue shop. "

Broken station private chat message.

"I'm a mortal: Boss, when will the new book be released?
I'm a mortal: Boss, can you reveal it? I'm sure I'll keep it secret like this time. Boss, if you don't let the publicity, don't let it be publicized, and if you don't let it be revealed, don't reveal it! "

……

In the evening, Ji Zhuo finished today's code words in the study,
Today I wrote almost another [-] words of content, and expanded the content of the "Lust" chapter, but I haven't finished it yet.

He stopped his movements, turned off the computer, got up to go for food, and picked up his mobile phone to see the messages sent to him by these people.
He suspects...these people are plotting his new book.

After a moment of silence, Ji Zhuo replied to these people one by one.

"Clumsy and uncommon: I'm writing, I'm writing."

Refers to the book that is still writing the secret of Chen Cang,

Not a single word of the book to be released on the surface has been moved.

"Ben Mo: Boss, we are quite familiar... are you traveling?"

"Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Isn't this wronging people? Ji Zhuo has lived a fulfilling life these past few days.
One codeword is an afternoon, um, since last night, book signings have been added from after dinner to late at night.

"Ben Mo: Boss, is the next book going to be a trumpet? It's fine if you don't want to reveal it, I understand! I'll keep it secret for you."

"Clumsy and uncommon:?

Clumsy and uncommon: post the next book directly, under the account of 'Yuchengqi'. "

"pen and ink:?

Pen and ink: Boss, why... have you suddenly changed your temper.

Pen and ink: But I don’t think there is much need for you to use a small account to publish new books. This novel or every work proves that your own strength is here, and the quality of your novels is here. Even if you change to a small No. It can also catch fire.Originally, old readers were just a kind of gain or base, but just relying on old readers can't make every book popular like you, big brother, and each book is better...

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

You can stop talking.

Ji Zhuo was in a good mood at first, but his heart couldn't take it anymore after being talked about by the pen and ink.

"Ben Mo: Boss, are you writing a new book? When are you going to release it? It's not a reminder, I'll just ask.

Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and uncommon: Wait a minute. "

Let's wait until he finishes writing "Seven Sins" and start the book that is going to be released publicly.

After a pause, Ji Zhuo thought that the subject of the book had not yet been decided, so he was going to ask the editor for his opinion.

"Clumsy and uncommon: By the way, big brother, what do you think is a better theme recently?"

this question,
It silenced the writing in the editorial department of non-ink novels.

This means that the writing of the new book has not yet started, or else the subject can be temporarily changed after it has been written?
"Pen and ink: Cthulhu, mythology, science fiction, reality, fairy tales...

Clumsy and extraordinary:? ? ?

Pen and ink: Boss, each of your books can set off some new trends on the website.And boss, you must be good at writing these topics.

Clumsy and extraordinary: ... Is there a type that you think is better? "

Pen Mo feels that Ji Zhuo seems to be connoting him,
It is not well known that the author under him is much more sensitive to the market than the editor,
Asking myself this way is to choose the direction, so as to avoid lightning.

"Ben Mo: Boss, the type you think is better is better. Boss, you can decide for yourself."

Ji Zhuo has never played cards according to routine,
The lessons learned from time to time made Pen Mo feel a little unconfident when facing Ji Zhuo,
Even if Ji Zhuo is going to write romance novels now, he believes that Ji Zhuo can write fire.

"Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and Uncommon: Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask. "

It's as if he didn't say it, Ji Zhuo is a little numb,
The communication with the editor is over.

Go down and reply to the messages one by one.

"Clumsy and uncommon: [picture]"

Ji Zhuo took a picture of a pile of books in the living room and sent it back to Yun Qingmu.

"30 per second: What is this? So many?

Clumsy and extraordinary: book, book to be signed, no time to go out.

30 per second: autograph book!Eyes Glow.jpg.

30 per second: Can I be shady and buy two copies in advance?
Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and uncommon: I am right here, do you want to sign a book?

30 per second: Can your signature be the same as that of the dog author?A signed book by the author of the dog!

Clumsy and extraordinary:? ? ? "

Finally
A private chat message from up on the broken station.

"Clumsy and uncommon: The new book will take some time, so there is no need to keep it secret, so I will publish it in a large size this time.

I am a mortal: ah?Don't keep it secret. "

Seeing your news seems a bit disappointing.

the other side,
Ye Linghan was indeed a little disappointed.

Although this "Night Tour in Fengdu City" has not been announced as the new book by the author of the dog,
As an insider, he felt a little uncomfortable, but as one of the few readers who knew the author's new book in advance,
It's really exciting, and it's the news he helped announce in the end, which is even more exciting.

Now suddenly the new book doesn't need to be kept secret, it seems that his up in the author's section of the dog will lose its effect.

Originally, he was still high-spirited, but the author didn't plan to tell him this time,
He began to pay attention to every new book recommended by Shiyue.com and Feimo Novels recently, relying on his "clear insight" and "smart eyes like torches" to find out the new book by the dog author!
It's a little exciting to think about!
Now... Feeling high-spirited, he suddenly punched the cotton.

It makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Ye Linhan, as a regular reader of the dog author, still cares more about the new book of the dog author.

"I'm a mortal: That boss. What kind of book is your new book?"

this problem……

I also want to know.

Looking at this reply, Ji Zhuo was a little silent.
