Chapter 22 Estimated Word Count

Gu Qingge is still very satisfied with the contract provided by Qidian Publishing House.

Because before signing the contract, she also had a rough understanding of the treatment of newcomers in the popular novel circle, and she was ready to sign an ordinary newcomer contract.

Only when her works become popular will she have the confidence to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so optimistic about her book "Who Contends" and actually wanted to directly publish a single book.

When Gu Qingge thought that the works she wrote would become physical books in the future, she felt very wonderful because she was really not a writer. The original intention of writing was just to complete a small side mission...

In addition, she also discovered that the publishing industry in China in this world is really very relaxed, without complicated approvals, and the publishing process can be said to be quite simple.

Now as long as she handed over a 200,000-word manuscript, the first volume of "Who Contends" will be launched soon.

The popular novel circle pays great attention to real-time readers' feedback. Anyway, the first volume of the single-line book has been released, and as long as the market response is not good, it will be cut in half immediately!

This is also why many works that are qualified to publish single-books have been serialized in magazines, which effectively reduces risks.

In this way, Ye Jingyi made the decision to directly write a single-book "Who and Contend" and the risks can be said to be quite large.

To put it bluntly, the authors who dare to publish new books without being serialized by magazines are all senior authors who have already established themselves in the popular novel circle. They have either accumulated a group of loyal fans before, or are very confident in their new works.

After Gu Qingge repeatedly confirmed the contract, he happily chose to sign a contract with Qidian Publishing House, with the number of words in the work ranging from about fifty to one million words.

The original world's "League of Legends: Who's Confrontation" had a total of about three million words, which was too many words. Of course, Gu Qingge could not have written so much.

Gu Qingge feels that the league writes 200,000 words, mid-season writes 200,000 words, S competition writes 200,000 words, Asian Games Olympics World Cup writes 200,000 words, and other daily, emotional dramas, and transitional plots, the total length is no more than one million words, which is enough.

She was not going to make a lot of money by writing novels, so she didn't have to cheat her out of the words.

The popular novel circle in this world also has the current situation where the more words the works of the hottest works are.

There is no way. It is not easy for ordinary popular novel authors to write a hot book. Of course, they have to have more water. Otherwise, if the next book cannot be popular, it will be very uncomfortable.

Readers also dislike integrity. On the one hand, they dislike the author too much. On the other hand, they like to read books with a large number of words. Some people don’t even have to kill them if they are less than two million words.

When Liu Shutang, the editor-in-chief, of course, felt that the number of words in "Who Contends" was expected to be less. Other long and popular novels only took one million words to make efforts. The so-called "Million Takeoff to Become a God" is not just a meme.

However, Gu Qingge insisted on his own opinion. She still felt that one million words were too much. After all, the word count requirements for the side mission were only 500,000. She compromised for the completeness of "Who Contends".

This persistence made Liu Shutang speechless because ordinary authors are willing to sign more words, so the total manuscript fee is of course higher.

The publisher's attitude towards the word count of the work is also very real, that is, if you write it to death, it is best to write it until the publisher goes bankrupt and finish the book quickly. Don't force it to drag it on.

After Gu Qingge successfully signed a contract with Qidian Publishing House, her speed of creating "Who Contends with the Winning" naturally accelerated a lot.

After all, no matter how many words I wrote before, I couldn't get a penny. Now I can write a thousand words for 100 yuan. When she handed over the manuscript of 200,000 words, she could get a 200,000 manuscript fee before tax, which does not include royalty sharing.

Gu Qingge had already written 50,000 words before, and the other 150,000 words, she was planning to handle it at a rate of 10,000 words a day.

It can only be said that Gu Qingge has too many materials in his mind, and he has mastered literary skills cards. He doesn’t have to think about portraying characters. After all, they are all real people who existed in the world e-sports circle.

Gu Qingge still used her old smartphone code at school, and she admired her perseverance very much.

That’s right, Gu Qingge, who is still a senior high school student, still has to go to Handong City High School to study.

However, she is much easier than other senior high school students because other senior high school students have to sprint for the college entrance examination. As the number one student in Huayi Art Examination, she only needs to go through the motions in the college entrance examination.

Gu Qingge is undoubtedly a legend in this high school now. He is the well-deserved school beauty. His classmates even like to joke about calling her "big star".

The school also specially praised Gu Qingge, which is the first place in the art exam. No matter what, she also won glory for her alma mater.

Unfortunately, Handong High School is not an art high school, otherwise Gu Qing's song would have to be played to heaven.

Gu Qingge doesn't care how others think of her. Anyway, she is addicted to typing now and just wants to make money.

As a result, some jealous classmates looked down upon her, thinking that she was crazy about playing with her mobile phone, and that the head-down clan was her.

Gu Qingge often gains and develops jade for no reason. She is very happy and thinks it is good to come to school. She hopes that the more students who are jealous of her, the better.

Anyway, Gu Qingge tried to get ten thousand words in school, and after school he went to the Internet cafe with his brother Gu Wenzhou to help him build his live broadcast career.

Her behavior of playing with her mobile phone at school and going to an Internet cafe after school has completely subverted her original image as an ordinary and good girl.

This of course also caused some people's concerns, including her good friend Lin Yun.

Lin Yun has been Gu Qingge's good friend for many years. She has been a classmate with Gu Qingge since elementary school and has both excellent character and academic performance.

Lin Yun is a girl with a very gentle personality. She always hopes that Gu Qingge can get better, so she tutors Gu Qingge's homework and advises Gu Qingge to apply for the Art University.

Lin Yun was very happy that Gu Qingge could win the first place in Huayi Art Examination, and at the same time, the pressure came to her. She wanted to be admitted to the top university in the capital Pingjing no matter what.

But what she never expected was that Gu Qingge, who returned to school after the art exam, was "degenerated" to this extent.

On this day, Gu Qingge was as usual, after school, he was preparing to go to the double row of the South Sticks and ravage with his brother Gu Wenzhou, and the first place in the impact batons and the first place.

Of course, when competing for points, Gu Qingge also accumulated more materials, which can be used in the e-sports novel "Who Contends with the Battle".

To be honest, the various operational games in the high-end game of the South Base Server really have a bit of a game. It is more organized than the brainless fight at the top of the national server, and most of the high-end players in the South Base Server are more slave-like and resilient.

Gu Qingge's use of this material in novels can improve professionalism and style.

"Gu Gu, I heard from others that you always play with your phone in class now and go online with boys after school. What's wrong with you?"
