Chapter 389(1/2)
The choice to confuse the public
Hu Xin said hurriedly: "No, no, your time is so precious, why would you let you write the book yourself?
As long as you have the intention in this regard, someone will naturally help you write it after you authorize it, and you only need to check it carefully..."
After hearing this, Lin Hui probably knew the purpose of Hu Xin's visit.
Lin Hui asked: "Did you say it was ghostwritten? That's too unreliable.
I feel that those who are good at ghostwriting are basically taken away by the big guys and become secretaries.
As for the level of the remaining people, I estimate that you can easily defeat those people with some strength."
Hu Xin's eyes lit up, and she recommended herself: "If you really think highly of me, it's okay for me to write it for you. Anyway, I've been working on your manuscript recently, and I'm very familiar with it."
Lin Hui joked: "Reporter Hu, I believe in your writing skills, but are you serious? You won't make fun of me, right?
I never thought that one day I would be associated with the matter of ‘publishing a book’?”
Hu Xin: "Of course I'm serious. I happen to have nothing to do recently. After accepting the task of interviewing you, my superiors assigned almost all the work I was doing."
Lin Hui said: "What type of book do you think I will publish?
Could it be that I am selling teaching aids under the banner of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination, or selling a series of training books from entry to burial under the banner of GRAY FOREST!"
Hu Xin smiled: "Mr. Lin, you really know how to joke!
Selling teaching aids or information books in your name is simply overkill."
Lin Hui: "Oh, then you can tell me what kind of book I should publish that would not be overqualified?"
Hu Xindao: "I think Mr. Lin's autobiography/self-reported experience book based directly on your recent experience will definitely be very popular.
After all, it feels to me that your recent experience is quite legendary."
Lin Hui shook his head: "That's just ridiculous of you. You can't say it's legendary."
Without waiting for Hu Xin's answer, Lin Hui continued: "Even if it is really legendary, what happened in these twenty days is just a few more articles, even if it is finally turned into a book.
I’m afraid the book will also give readers the impression of making up the numbers.”
The real reason is that Lin Hui feels that biographies are unnecessary.
Wouldn't it be too monstrous to publish something similar to an autobiography when you are only 18 years old?
After all, there is absolutely no need to write a biography of a life that has only lasted eighteen years.
Hu Xin: "I don't think so."
Hu Xindao: "That's right, during the recent interview with you, we have tracked and learned a lot of information about you.
Although there is not much to say about the information related to you in summary, there are many details that can be explored in depth.
After digging into these contents in depth, we will supplement them with a certain amount of storytelling.
I believe it is still easy to produce hundreds of thousands of words of content.
At the very least, there is nothing wrong with compiling it into a book with detailed content.”
Lin Hui:...
Lin Hui asked doubtfully: "Keep digging into the details. Are you sure that writing an article like this won't end up as documentary literature?"
Hu Xindao: "Well, that's not a problem, a lot of documentary literature also has good sales.
As long as the characters themselves have strong appeal, there is no need to worry about sales even if the book is very much like documentary literature."
Lin Hui asked rhetorically: "According to your statement, if I publish a book, the final result of the book will still depend on my personal appeal.
Since it ultimately relies on personal appeal, why should I publish a book?"
Hu Xin didn't quite understand Lin Hui's logic.
Doesn’t publishing a book rely on personal appeal to sell it?
Even if the textbook is written without the person's background or personal appeal, it can only be used as a desk corner.
What's more, smart devices are developing so fast now.
E-books can also provide an experience very similar to paper books on certain devices.
Many times consumers go directly to e-books to avoid trouble.
In this case, I want to point consumers to pay for paper books.
How can you do it without some personal appeal?
Even autograph signing is necessary in many cases.
Although when it comes to books, the content of the book is equally important.
But more often than not, books published in China do not have personal appeal.
No one cares what you write in your book.
Hu Xin looked confused.
Lin Hui knew that what he just expressed seemed not to be very accurate.
Lin Hui said: "What I mean is that since publishing a book is also using your personal appeal to make money.
And sometimes game development also uses personal appeal to make money?
In that case, why don't I just develop a game?
I can make more money by attracting attention in games. Wouldn’t it be easier to make money by just making a game?
You can also see my appeal in the recent Dinosaur Mini Game, a game launched overseas."
Hu Xin originally wanted to reply to Lin Hui, saying that writing a book could expand Lin Hui’s reputation in the gaming field.
But Hu Xin changed his mind.
Lin Hui seems to have a good reputation outside of games.
Although Lin Hui's popularity in fields other than games is still a bit weak at the moment.
But with the official media reporting, things that Lin Hui does in fields other than gaming will also become very famous.
Well, the so-called reason of expanding Lin Hui's reputation in other fields obviously cannot persuade Lin Hui to write a book.
What Lin Hui meant in his words was that he needed Hu Xin to give him a reason to convince him.
Hu Xin never thought that one day she would need to find reasons for doing things.
Hu Xin has always been a good-looking person since she was little.
When appearance is justice.
Most of the time, whatever Hu Xin wants to do happens smoothly.
Even though many things require the consent of others before they can be done.
It never seemed to take any effort.
Lin Hui hit a wall here.
Especially Hu Xin felt that she had lowered her stance from the beginning.
Why do we still hit a wall?
Was it because her posture was too low that Lin Hui thought she wanted something and therefore resisted?
It can't be like this, it would be too bad luck.
The reason why he lowered his stance low enough is not because Hu Xin is now eager to make money by using Lin Hui's name.
For example, if he published a book for Lin Hui, Hu Xin would not receive any royalties from it.
As for the initial investment in publishing the book, Hu Xin can also advance it himself.
As for the income from forest ash?
Hu Xin will also help Lin Hui strive for the best.
After all, Hu Xin still has some connections in book printing and publishing.
If Lin Hui really wants to publish a book.
Hu Xin even felt that he could use some connections to help Lin Hui negotiate a royalty rate of 8% to 10%.
We will try our best to take care of Lin Hui's feelings under all conditions.
Hu Xin won't take any money from Lin Hui, but whatever Hu Xin gets from Lin Hui can help Lin Hui get the maximum.
As for the article, Hu Xin is competent.
If Lin Hui doubts Hu Xin's level, Hu Xin can find some well-known writers among his friends to help write for him.
In short, Lin Hui doesn't need to worry about anything difficult at all.
One can even say:
Lin Hui only had to nod his head in agreement and then all he had to do was count the money.
As for why Hu Xin does such things that benefit others but hardly benefit himself?
Hu Xin just hoped to have the opportunity to do something for Lin Hui.
Of course, Hu Xin is not a service-oriented personality.
Hu Xin has her own considerations.
Hu Xin, who has been in contact with Lin Hui recently, can be said to be quite aware of Lin Hui's growth rate.
A young upstart like Lin Hui has an unlimited future.
Now if there is really a chance to do something for Lin Hui and get a ride on Lin Hui's car, it will definitely be a real profit.
In short, this is a very cost-effective investment in Hu Xin's opinion.
