When You Rong finished reading "The Death of a Small Civil Servant", he was thinking in his heart that he would wait for the author to announce his identity and then he would poach the other party because the other party's writing skills were too strong.
As a result, he didn't expect that this person was actually Chu Kuang who was snatched away from under his nose by the tribe!
You Rong's eyes widened with anger at the result, and he felt like his home was being robbed.
But he was the editor-in-chief of Fun Reading after all, so he quickly controlled his emotions: "I must get him back."
You Rong secretly became angry.
Chu Kuang has been recognized in the field of short stories. He is no longer a newcomer who has just started to explore the field, but a rising star in the entire short story field, a talented writer who has begun to show his brilliance!
And such a talented writer is not only what You Rong wants.
Major publishing houses in Qinzhou are also ready to make a move.
Because the competition in this industry has always been so fierce and cruel, a talented writer like Chu Kuang can easily arouse the interest of all parties.
but…
These publishers probably don’t have Chu Kuang’s contact information at the moment.
The tribe was able to find Chu Kuang purely by taking advantage of the platform. You should know that the tribe account itself is associated with the mobile phone number, and the tribe literature only needs to call the phone number left by Chu Kuang.
You Rong believed that as long as the tribal literature was not stupid, it would not reveal the information about Chu Kuang.
Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden.
There is a great deal of mutual penetration between industries, and there are many channels for information inquiry. Some of the larger publishers in the industry will find Chu Kuang sooner or later.
Therefore, we can only delay this matter as long as possible.
However, judging from the current situation, the only literature that can compete with the Silver and Blue Library for Chu Kuang is probably tribal literature.
This made You Rong feel a little comforted.
And at this time.
Also in the Silver and Blue Library.
Chu Kuang was also being discussed within the youth fantasy department.
The youth fantasy novel department does not produce short stories, that is the job of the magazine department next door, "Fun Reading".
But Chu Kuang is one of the best-selling authors in the youth fantasy department of the Silver Blue Bookstore after all, so the editors in the department will naturally pay attention to his movements.
So when Chu Kuang won the first prize for short stories in the tribal literature competition, it immediately sparked a large-scale discussion within the department.
“I didn’t expect Chu Kuang to be so good at writing short stories!”
"He's good at both short stories and youth fantasy novels. Isn't this a great talent for writing?"
"No wonder the short story field is trying to snatch our talent. Considering Chu Kuang's short story writing level, he is indeed worth snatching."
"I heard that even our editor-in-chief was full of praise for Chu Kuang's short stories."
"… "
Halfway through the discussion, an editor suddenly worriedly asked, "Is Chu Kuang going to focus on developing short stories in the future and not write fantasy themes anymore?"
This worry is not unnecessary.
Chu Kuang is one of the best-selling authors in the youth fantasy department. Such authors are very valuable to the entire fantasy department.
"Not really."
An editor shook his head uncertainly and said, "How many words are there in a few short stories? How can writing short stories make as much money as writing youth fantasy novels?"
"make money?"
Yang Feng, the editor in charge of Chu Kuang, suddenly raised his head and said unhappily, "Do you think Chu Kuang cares about money?"
"… "
After Yang Feng said this, the entire fantasy department fell silent. Obviously everyone agreed with Yang Feng's words.
Yes.
Chu Kuang doesn't like money.
He has no interest in money.
This is a fact that the entire fantasy department unanimously acknowledges. If Chu Kuang really liked money, he would not have easily finished "Prince of Tennis".
Because even a fool knows that for best-selling novels, the longer you write, the more royalties you get!
Once this type of novel is finished, the royalties will plummet within a few months!
But two weeks ago.
The May manuscript of "The Prince of Tennis" sent by Chu Kuang completed the novel neatly and efficiently.
Yes.
Tomorrow is May 1st, and the final chapter of "Prince of Tennis" will be officially released. The relevant departments have even put out the promotional slogan -
Chu Kuang really didn't write a single extra word!
Throughout the entire "Prince of Tennis", he almost strictly followed the initial outline he provided, and completed this very best-selling novel with only about one million words!
He was so decisive that even the editors in the department felt distressed and wished they could continue writing for Chu Kuang!
You know, with the current sales momentum of this novel, every word written can make a lot of money!
To put it bluntly.
As long as Chu Kuang is willing to continue writing "Prince of Tennis", even if he floods the book with spam and causes the quality of the subsequent work to decline sharply, there will definitely be many readers who will buy it, because many readers have already formed inertia.
Unless the book is full of shit, readers will not abandon it easily. At most, they will curse and greet the author, and then continue to pay for it hesitantly.
This is the experience that editors have gained over many years of work.
I believe Chu Kuang himself must understand this.
But Chu Kuang was so willful that even though he knew his work could still make money, he still finished the book without hesitation.
How could such a person like money
a long time.
An editor in the department sighed and said, "This is Chu Kuang's literary character. He does not create for the purpose of making money. Such writers are actually very worthy of respect."
"Yes."
"In the era of commercialization of literature, the original intention of authors' creation is certainly based on dreams, but if their novels don't make money, how many people are willing to generate electricity for love?"
“I haven’t come across a novelist like this in years.”
"Most writers are not willing to finish a profitable novel. Even if they have used up their outline, they will definitely try their best to expand their story. In contrast, there are very few authors like Chu Kuang who decisively finish best-selling books."
"… "
Yang Feng sighed.
How could he not admire Chu Kuang
When most writers followed the trend and chose to create popular themes such as adventures in other worlds, Chu Kuang resolutely chose the extremely unpopular theme of sports competition. This pioneering spirit alone made Yang Feng admire him very much.
I admire it though.
At the same time, Yang Feng also had a headache.
Because Chu Kuang finished "The Prince of Tennis", it was a big loss for Silver Blue Book Library.
Otherwise, the editor-in-chief would not have specifically instructed Chu Kuang to expand the outline as much as possible and write a longer story...
However, Chu Kuang refused to listen.
Yang Feng couldn't help but recall what happened when he first dealt with Chu Kuang. At that time, he was still thinking that the other party was just a newcomer and a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger.
One day!
The other party will feel the fear of being dominated by a small dark room, and will see how terrifying the editor's method of urging publication is.
But now.
Chu Kuang did not realize his own horror. He was an author who never procrastinated on his manuscripts. However, he was the first to realize the horror of Chu Kuang.
People really regard money as dirt.
Yang Feng could only shake his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "You are really too willful!"
The next day.
May 1st.
The final chapter of Chu Kuang’s “Prince of Tennis” has been released!
