Begin Liver Experience with Fireball

Chapter 5 The Novel Explodes, the First Pot of Gold
Three days passed.

Li Wei attends classes during the day, and writes novels after returning to practice at night.

Occasionally watch "Mage Legend 8" to learn about local customs and magic knowledge.

During the break between classes, Mr. Gu Ze sat on the podium drinking tea and reading a book.

Students whispered in the classroom about the recently popular novel "Dragon Rider".

Maple Leaf City has a total population of just over 20 people, and only one-tenth of the rich people, or 3 to [-] people.

Among them, there are even fewer people who like to read.

The reading circle is small, and everyone basically knows each other.

After someone read "Dragon Knight", they readily recommended it to people they knew, and soon the novel became popular in Maple Leaf City.

The apprentices in the Mage Tower basically know this explosive novel.

Some have seen it, some have heard it.

"Bathing in dragon blood can really awaken the blood of a giant dragon?"

"Impossible! The novels are all made up. The dragon's blood is as hot as magma. Humans who bathe in the dragon's blood will only be burned into coke."

"How is it impossible? Adam in "Legend of the Dragon Slayer Warrior" killed the dragon, swallowed the blood of the dragon, obtained the blood of the dragon, and became the most powerful warrior!"

"Can it be the same? One is an ordinary person, and the other is a dragon slayer!"

……

Ordinary people are concerned about whether Ryan can survive the crisis and whether he can succeed in revenge?
The apprentices of the Mage Tower are more concerned about whether the various adventures described in the novel are true?
Gu Ze slowly closed the sixth edition of Xinghuo Anthology, picked up the ruler and tapped on the table, saying, "Class is over."

Hearing this, everyone quickly returned to their seats and fell silent.

After class, Li Wei took the follow-up manuscript of "Dragon Knight" to the Spark Literature Club.

When Jimmy saw him, he couldn't believe that the author of "Dragon Knight" was so young.

"Hi, I'm Jimmy, your editor."

"Hello, I'm Li Wei, the mage apprentice of the mage tower, and the wooden man who is the author of "Dragon Knight."

Levi handed over the follow-up manuscript of "Dragon Knight" to Jimmy to prove his authorship.

Jimmy was shocked when he saw the follow-up plot of Ryan embarking on the road of revenge, and quickly looked through it.

After watching for a while, he suddenly realized that he was still receiving Li Wei.

He quickly put down the manuscript, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, the novel you wrote is so fascinating."

Li Wei smiled, "It's okay, it's my honor."

Jimmy hurriedly took him to the editorial director, and the editorial director learned that the author of "Dragon Knight" had come and received him in person.

Levi and editorial director Gus sat in the room talking, and Jimmy hurriedly poured tea and water for them.

Gus glanced at the follow-up plot of "Dragon Knight", turned his head to look at Li Wei, and asked, "Mr. Li Wei, Starfire Literature Club is willing to buy out the novel "Dragon Knight" at a high price."

Li Wei shook his head and said: "I don't plan to buy out "Dragon Knight", I hope to sign a sharing contract with Xinghuo Literary Society and get a part of the novel's profits. In return, my works will only be published by Xinghuo Literary Society in the future. "

Gus wondered: "Sorry, there is no such precedent for Xinghuo Literary Club."

He persuaded: "The remuneration of the sharing contract may not be as high as the buyout price. The buyout price given by the Spark Literature Society will definitely satisfy you. Why don't you think about it?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, I only consider sharing the contract."

Gus' face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to continue talking with Li Wei.

If you want to buy out, you only need to estimate the monthly sales of Xinghuo Anthology, and then subtract the various costs and manuscript fees to calculate how much you should spend to buy out the "Dragon Knight" novel to make money.

But if it is a share, there are too many factors involved, and how to calculate the income is confusing.

After all, the Xinghuo Anthology not only published the novel "Dragon Knight", but also other people's articles and poems.

Li Wei also thought about this when he came, and he thought of a solution on the way here.

He looked at Gus and said, "I'm also a loyal reader of the Starfire Anthology."

Gus heard the words and looked up at him.

Li Wei continued: "The Xinghuo Anthology only publishes one book every month, and the update speed is really too slow."

Gus said helplessly: "One book a month is still barely maintaining the standard of the Spark Anthology, quality manuscripts are getting less and less, and we have nothing to do."

Levy said: "I propose to publish a new single volume dedicated to the "Eragon" novel, which will be updated once a week."

Gus asked in amazement: "How can it be updated every week? Even if you only update one section at a time, you can't create a new story every week."

Li Wei was speechless. Is it difficult to update five or six thousand words every week?

In the past, he could update [-] words a day.

He wasn't arguing with Gus on this, it didn't make any sense, just let the facts speak for themselves.

Li Wei said: "So far, the content of the novels I have contributed has reached [-] words, which is enough to be divided into ten times for publication, and can be updated for at least two and a half months. Director Gus should compare the benefits of this to the Spark Literature Society. I know better."

Gus heard the words, thought for a moment in his heart, and felt that it seemed feasible.

According to the current sales trend, if it is changed to a weekly edition as Li Wei said, the sales in two months will be higher than the sales of the Spark Anthology in one year.

The key, this will not have too much impact on the Xinghuo Anthology.

Xinghuo Anthology mainly publishes poetry, articles, and travel notes.

Anthology readers are not the same group as novel readers.

Fiction readers may buy the Xinghuo anthology to read "Dragon Knight", but those who want to read the Xinghuo anthology will not give up buying the anthology just because they have bought novels that are sold separately.

Gus was already a little moved.

Gus said to Li Wei: "Wait a minute, I need to discuss this matter with other members of the Spark Literature Club."

He glanced at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, sit here with Mr. Levi for a while."

Jimmy quickly responded, "Okay."

Li Wei was not in a hurry as he drank his tea.

More haste less speed.

Now, the name of "Dragon Knight" has been published, and he took the manuscript to any literary agency, and someone would be willing to take it over.

The one who should be anxious is the Xinghuo Literature Club.

After discussing with several founders of Xinghuo Literary Society, Gus felt that the plan was feasible.

In the end, Gus returned to the room to discuss the share ratio with Levi.

After intense discussions, it was finally determined that after deducting the cost of the novel "Dragon Knight", the net profit would be split [-]-[-].

Li Wei is about to leave after signing a business contract with Xinghuo Literature Club.

Gus stopped him and said, "The first chapter of "Dragon Knight" has been published on the Starfire Anthology, and it is difficult to calculate the manuscript fee. The Starfire Literature Society will give you this month's novel manuscript fee according to the original buyout price. From the following Months will start to calculate the royalties."

Hearing this, Li Wei nodded and didn't bother with this trivial matter.

Until Gus took out fifty silver coins and gave him.

Li Wei asked in surprise, "So much money?"

Gus said with a smile: "Originally, the Starfire Literature Club planned to spend three gold coins to buy out the manuscripts of the first six chapters of "Dragon Knight". If you regret it now, you can re-sign the buyout contract now."

Li Wei was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Gus to want to buy out his novel.

Putting away the fifty silver coins, he shook his head and said, "No need."

He smiled confidently: "The sales of "Dragon Knight" will definitely exceed your expectations."

Gus smiled, "Then I'll just wait and see."
