Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 4 Platinum Capital
"This article is well written."

"Teacher Zhang, I didn't expect that there is a student with such excellent writing skills in your class."

Teacher Xiao Xie praised while reading.

As a lecturer in the Chinese Department, what Mr. Xiao Xie likes most is prose.

For him, prose is the style that best reflects writing style, personal style, and writing level.

How good a person's Chinese is depends on how well he writes prose.

"No, no, not only the writing is good, but the whole article feels very comfortable to read."

Prose has another name, and that is beautiful prose.

Prose is beautiful prose.

Chen Yi's "Creeper's Feet" already embodies the beauty of prose.

"Teacher Xie, you praise me too much."

"I'm not boasting at all, don't you think?"

Teacher Xiao Xie glanced at Teacher Zhang and said, "Oh, it's Teacher Zhang's student in our class again. What a bad luck. Why don't we have such students in our class?"

……

"Hello, after the company's review, your work "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" meets the publishing standards, and the first printing is 1 copies."

A few days later.

Chen Yi received a message from editor "July".

"Thank you, Teacher Qiyue."

"You're welcome. Let me tell you, because you are a newcomer, the current manuscript tax is 6 points. Send me your bank account number. Generally speaking, the work will be settled for you within 3 months after it is officially put on the shelves. cost."

"Ok."

Chen Yi nodded.

Chen Yi almost understands the current situation in the publishing industry.

Generally speaking, newcomers only have a 6-point contribution tax.

of course.

If the sales of later works increase, the royalties will increase accordingly.

If calculated this way.

The price of a novel is about 20 yuan.

1 million copies.

Total sales are 20 yuan.

The manuscript tax of 6 points is 1 yuan.

Excluding tax, it's about 1 yuan.

Although this income is nothing, it is nothing compared to the income obtained from the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" in the previous life.

But it is much better than before when Chen Yi contributed to various magazines and newspapers.

and.

Chen Yi does not think that 1 copies is the end of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body".

How many people know about the market?

The popularity of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" back then was also beyond everyone's expectations.

Including also beyond the expectations of the original author of this novel.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Yi is really looking forward to the sales of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" when it is released.

"By the way, you haven't chosen a pen name yet."

said in July.

This said.

Chen Yicai remembered that he did not leave his pen name behind.

Generally speaking, you will write under a pen name, but of course you will also use your real name.

However, many writers use pen names.

Just like Mr. Lu Xun, his surname is not Lu.

"Just call Chu Ying."

After thinking about it, Chen Yi said.

"Chu Ying, what a domineering name."

"Haha, just think of it, see if you can bluff people."

"Okay, let's do this first. I'll invite you to join the group of writers in our publishing house."

After communicating with Chen Yi, the editor didn't say much in Qiyue, and then pulled Chen Yi into a group called "Chenyang Writers Group".

According to the rules of the group, Chen Yi set his group name card as the pen name "Chu Ying".

……

"Welcome to the new children's shoes."

"welcome."

"The rules of the group are that newcomers must give out red envelopes."

Everyone in the group was very enthusiastic, and when they saw Chen Yi entering the group, they all gave a welcome expression.

But Chen Yi was really struggling and said weakly in the group: "Dear masters, the newcomer has been writing for more than ten years, and only this year he managed to get a 1-volume publication. Now he has not even paid the manuscript fee, and he really has no money. Money will be given out in red envelopes. How about everyone send me a few red envelopes to support this little bastard like me." As soon as these words came out, an author named "Dangdang" replied: "I went, and I actually met a guy who was bigger than me. An author who still cries about being poor. By the way, brother, what book did you write?"

"Urban supernatural type."

"This belongs to a big category, it should be good. Please send me your book link to take a look."

"Book connection?"

Chen Yi was taken aback.

Isn’t this publishing? Where is the connection?

"No, if you log on to the official website of Chenyang Publishing House, the first three chapters of each new book to be published will be posted online to see the effect."

Knowing that Chen Yi was a newcomer, Dangdang explained to Chen Yi.

"Oh, thanks, I'll check."

Chen Yi logged into the official website of Chenyang Publishing House and searched for the title "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body", and sure enough his book was displayed.

But the table of contents only has three chapters.

If you like it, go to the bookstore to buy it, or place an order on the official website, and it will be mailed to you.

"Brother Dangdang, this is a book written by me."

Chen Yi sent the link to the group.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Dangdang nodded and clicked the connection.

The works Dangdang publishes this time are also in the category of urban supernatural beings.

Everyone is a writer and a colleague, so Dangdang wanted to read the works written by Chen Yi to facilitate communication.

but.

Just when Dangdang was about to read it carefully, he discovered that this work seemed...

blinked.

Dangdang feels like he saw it wrong.

How come there are such white works?

You say the writing is just plain white.

After all, when writing novels, it is not necessarily necessary to read more Chinese characters.

Since it is a novel, the storytelling must obviously come first.

But this work called "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" even has a story.

Many plots that they could not possibly write appear in this work one by one.

Although there are only 3 chapters.

But after reading the whole article, Dangdang found that the author named Chu Ying made almost all the mistakes that could be made.

"It's so well written, it's worth a platinum award."

After all, they are colleagues.

It’s another author from the same publishing house, and he said it sincerely.

I just don't want to, Dangdang's hypocritical words have attracted the attention of all the writers in the group.

Many authors were also curious and clicked on the link.

After a few minutes.

Same as Dangdang, the same reply:
"It's so well written, it's worth a platinum award."

"It's so well written, it's worth a platinum award."

"It's so well written, it's worth a platinum award."

A group of authors praised it, which made Chen Yi a little confused.

This is not to say that he doesn't think the work "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" is good.

As an author, he also understands the author.

"Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" is indeed a good work, but it depends on who you tell it to.

For old white readers.

For those hardcore readers, this work is worthless in their eyes.

But for some novices, some readers who have not had much contact with this style of writing before, that is another matter.

obviously.

Those who could be the authors are definitely hardcore readers, and they definitely don't think much of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body".

That being the case.

These unified replies are naturally polite.

What platinum money, this is impossible, don’t take it seriously.

but.

Seeing everyone's unanimous praise, Chen Yi replied in a bad way: "Thank you, yours too, platinum capital."

Done.

The group suddenly became silent.
