Yu Shuying did not come to stay overnight on Saturday and Sunday.
Chen Xing's work has reached the final stage, so he is a little busy. He is also busy with the procedures and equipment for the establishment of Xiong Ying Studio.
Xiong Ran, I stayed at home watching TV series and reading novels, and in the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday, October 24th.
…
"Master Ye, about the arrangement..."
Today, Xiong Ran came to Baixiang on time to inspect the three songs of "Xiao San Overheated, You in the Past". There was no problem with the MV editing and production, but he gave some small suggestions on the arrangement compared with the original version of the Earth...
Fortunately, there were not many places that needed to be changed. After a brief thought, Ye Xiaopeng nodded OK.
"Come back the day after tomorrow, Friday..."
Today and tomorrow are enough time to make changes and improvements.
"Okay, Master Ye..." Xiong Ran said goodbye and didn't stay in Baixiang for long. However, there was still a lot of time before lunch, so he didn't take a taxi home. Instead, he took bus No. 11 and walked back leisurely.
At this moment, at Kyoto Juncheng Law Firm, Xu Ruoqing was called into the office by the director because she was not in the right state of mind and was in a daze. She asked what was wrong
Xu Ruoqing was silent. She couldn't say that she received a package when she got home from get off work last night...
The clothes left at Xiong Ran's house were washed and dried and then mailed over. This was a complete break.
I don’t know what to do. I feel confused and helpless.
"You couldn't sleep last night?"
Facing Director Du's concern, Xu Ruoqing nodded lightly. How could she sleep? If Qiu Ruixue had not cheated on her and broke up with Xiong Ran, she might not have been so aggrieved and sad. After all, she had been relieved for three years.
But she suddenly had hope, but within a month, it turned into despair again. She couldn't face it and accept it. It was like God was playing a malicious joke on her...
You can't play like this, it's too bullying.
"Hey, a woman trapped in love..."
Du Lengqiu sighed and shook his head, "It seems that the man has no feelings for you at all, otherwise even if he has a girlfriend now, you wouldn't be so pessimistic and melancholy! But since there is no hope, why not give up and look forward? God will always arrange a better one for you..."
"Ruoqing, you disappoint me."
"Director, I'm sorry..."
Xu Ruoqing pursed her lips tightly and said in a bitter voice: "I thought I could let it go, but it turned out not to be the case! We were childhood sweethearts, and he has been mine since childhood..."
"But suddenly he ran away without any warning, and we were dating in college..."
"I don't understand, I don't understand all this..."
…
"Ruoqing, you..."
After listening to Xu Ruoqing's brief narration, Du Lengqiu was a little speechless. Well, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and got engaged. Boys are naturally sensitive to the opposite sex during adolescence, but in the end, you don't allow me to kiss or touch you, and you don't even allow me to hold hands. Why would she look for you
If you give her some sweet treats from time to time, such as a hug and a kiss, it would be strange if she could run away!
Of course, it is right for girls to be conservative, but there is no need to be too strict about child marriage. It doesn’t necessarily mean rolling in bed and making love, but the little sweet treats should be given to the silly girl...
"Ruoqing, falling in love is like a TV drama..."
Du Lengqiu let out a long sigh and smiled, "The heroine and the hero should always have some unexpected little ambiguity from time to time, so that there will be a heartbeat under the stimulation of sexual hormones! Men are male creatures. If they don't have these, then it's over. Whoever stimulates them will go with them."
"You are 25 and not a child anymore. No matter how conservative you are, you have to relax a little. Otherwise, there is no hope."
"So, after get off work, you can watch more romance dramas or read some romance novels at home in the evening to learn some ambiguous tricks..."
"Something like suddenly tripping and falling, something like accidentally slipping while taking a shower, or even pretending to be drunk and forcefully kissing..."
"Hehe, don't look at me like that, these are all scenes from a TV drama, I'm just repeating them..." Xu Ruoqing's eyes gradually became surprised, and Du Lengqiu stopped "teaching by example" with a bit of embarrassment, it was so shameful.
The director's image seems to have collapsed a bit.
"Uh, thank you, Director..."
Xu Ruoqing blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment. She was also quite embarrassed. In the end, she could only say a few words before leaving the office and returning to her seat.
Are all married women so open-minded? The director's eyes were full of stars when she was "teaching by example"...
However, is this tactic really useful? What if Xiong Ran can't help himself and turns into a wolf
I heard that the first time was super painful...
…
"Ah, ah, ah, ah..."
"Fuck! Who is scolding me so harshly?"
Xiong Ran, who had just returned home at a leisurely pace, suddenly said "Ah, Che" three times in a row, thinking, cursing, and then... cursing madly. Could it be that the update is a bit too slow
The update of "The Legend of Wukong" has been maintained at 2 sections at noon, with more and less words.
However, due to the thorough development of the plot and charm, many book friends urge the update and send razor blades in the comment area of the daily Weibo and Qidian window, complaining that it is short and powerless...
"There are 180,000 words in total. How fast can it be updated?"
Xiong Ran flipped through some recent book reviews and felt powerless. He now writes two to three thousand or four to five thousand words every day, and as of today, the 24th, he has already updated nearly 100,000 words. If he increases the update, the book will be finished in another ten days or half a month. No, the cycle is too short.
"I'm sorry, it's just short..."
In the end, Xiong Ran could only ignore it and say Amitabha. Anyway, the whole manuscript had been coded, so he could post it slowly.
Buzz, buzz...
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hello, Mr. Xiong Ran. I am XXX from XX Publishing House. Can you give me a chance to meet and discuss the publication of the simplified Chinese version of 'The Legend of Wukong'?"
"Sorry, I don't have this intention at the moment..."
Xiong Ran apologized profusely and then hung up politely. This was not the first publishing house to contact him, and he believed it would not be the last. As for why he was not given a chance to meet with the publisher, it was because it was basically meaningless. They either wanted to buy all the copyrights at a low price or the copyright fee was not high...
5%-7% of the copyright share is too low. It should be at least 10%, otherwise forget it.
Really sincere, he quoted a high price directly on the phone, and still needs a face-to-face meeting? Hehehe…
“Even if it’s 10%, it’s not much…”
If the price of "Wukong Zhuan" is 30 yuan, and the 10% copyright fee is 3 yuan per copy, it will only cost 300,000 yuan if 100,000 copies are sold, and it will exceed 1 million yuan if 350,000 copies are sold...
Earth Time and Space was so popular when it was first published in the early 21st century, when online literature was in a state of disarray. The first print run of 100,000 copies was sold out in a few days, and the Taiwanese traditional Chinese version topped the bestseller list for 32 consecutive weeks. The times cannot be compared.
In this world, it is the end of 2012 and 2013 is about to begin. Electronic media is thriving, and print media has been gradually declining. How much can it really sell
100,000 copies? 200,000 copies? Or 500,000 copies…
Xiong Ran didn't know, but according to an internet search, currently the best-selling physical books usually only sell about 200,000 or 300,000 copies, so 500,000 copies would be quite a hit.
It cannot be denied that "The Legend of Wukong" is excellent, and the words are very exciting and blood-boosting, but book lovers who have experienced the flourishing and controversial online literature today and are "well-read and knowledgeable" may not necessarily regard it as a god book, or they will definitely not.
At most, it can be regarded as a passionate and exciting novel with some depth, but its value is not super-phenomenal…
So we’ll decide whether to publish it or not later.
At least finish the serialization online first. If you deliberately stop updating and publish it in physical form, what is the difference between this and making a lot of money? You will be scolded and blackmailed...
The book will be published online and then in physical form. If you are a true fan and want to collect it, then buy it. If you don’t want to, don’t force it…
As long as I can keep my moral integrity and earn some pocket money, that’s enough!
The real money making will come later, so there is no need to rush.
