After chatting with the editor-in-chief Haiyu, Sun Quan touched his chin and pondered this issue. In his mind, the merger of pen names was rare, but it was not unheard of.
He remembered that in the years before his rebirth, some old authors from Qidian liked to use new vests to publish new books. It didn't matter if the new books were not popular. If the popularity was high enough, when the time was right, they would tell the editor to put the two books together.
The most common way to merge pen names is to cancel the name and move the new book back to the old pen name.
He has even seen platinum authors change their pen names.
He remembered that a veteran platinum author used a pen name that was a string of letters, probably because it was inconvenient for readers to search for his pen name! Then at some point, the platinum author changed his pen name to six.
A pseudonym of one character.
Therefore, when Haiyu said that his two pen names could be combined, although Sun Quan was surprised, he did not find it incredible.
But, if we want to merge, what will my new pen name be?
I, Lao Sun, am a struggling salty fish?
I, the struggling old man, have become a salted fish?
Salted fish, my old grandson is struggling?
…
He kept laughing as he thought about it.
Of course he won't use the messy names above. Maybe he can call him Sun Xianyu? Xianyu, my old Sun?
He was still thinking about this issue when QQ rang again.
But the person who sent him a private message this time was his former editor--Dazhuang.
Da Zhuang: "Congratulations, Old Sun! Did you hear that? The website is going to sign a platinum contract with you."
Sun Quan blinked, vaguely guessing the implication of Da Zhuang's words.
Just now, Haiyu asked him if he loved her, and then extended it to ask him to use his current pen name to sign a platinum contract with the website. Da Zhuang should have the same meaning, right?
See what this means, if I sign a platinum contract using the pen name of An Laosun, will I return to Da Zhuang's service?
Sun Quan didn't have any bad feelings towards Da Zhuang. When he opened "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", he changed his vest to a new one. It was not because he had objections to the original editor as some outsiders speculated.
In fact, he always felt that Da Zhuang treated him well. During the serialization period of "My Decathlon", Da Zhuang arranged a lot of recommendation positions for him. Although he and Da Zhuang did not chat much privately, he always
I sent private messages to Da Zhuang every time, and Da Zhuang responded to them all.
For Sun Quan, such an editor is very competent. He gives all the recommendations that should be given, and when he has something to ask, he can reply on the same day. With such an editor, Sun Quan has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
but……
The new editor-in-chief is also very kind to him!
I have to choose one. It’s impossible for a girl to marry two families, so why not choose both editors?
"Thank you! Hairtail just told me, thank you for taking care of me in the past, thank you very much!"
Sun Quan had many thoughts in his mind, and after making up his mind, he returned to his strong state like this.
He believed that Da Zhuang should be able to read the subtext from his words.
Sure enough, Da Zhuang's reply later was: "You're welcome. Anyway, congratulations!"
Just these few words and nothing else.
Sun Quan sent a handshake, Da Zhuang responded with a smile, and the exchange between the two ended.
As for why you chose Hairtail instead of Da Zhuang?
Because from the name Da Zhuang, it seems that his family conditions should be good, otherwise how can he be strong? The hairtail is different. A girl can be thin like a hairtail. It is conceivable that she must have had a hard time since she was a child...
Well, such a thought really flashed through Sun Quan's mind at that time, but it was an instant association caused by his professional habits. The real reason was certainly not like this.
how to say?
He felt there was no need to change the editor. If he changed it back now, Hairtail would be offended. As for Da Zhuang, who knows if his use of a vest to distribute "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" left a grudge in Da Zhuang's heart?
It would be pointless if it ends up being a disservice to both ends.
What's more, Hairtail is really nice to him, and she's a female editor. It's easier to talk and communicate with him. Occasionally, she even acts cute for him! Where else can he find such an editor?
That afternoon.
Sun Quan's author received a text message in the backend, to the effect that he was asked if he was interested in signing a platinum contract. If so, please add the signed editor's QQ to discuss contract matters.
The QQ number of the contracted editor is also written in this site short.
Of course Sun Quan is willing to sign a platinum contract.
You would be a fool not to sign it. You can gain both honor and benefits and make more money, so why not sign it?
In addition to the QQ of the contracted editor, as soon as I mentioned my platinum appointment, the other party responded.
Moreover, she really asked Sun Quan if he wanted to merge his two existing pen names?
Sun Quan said: "Well, merge it! Can I merge it into a new pen name?"
"Well, sure! Have you decided on a new pen name? If so, just tell me your new pen name!"
Sun Quan was a little hesitant.
Reason told him that since he signed a platinum contract, he should be regarded as a great person, and it was time to choose a more serious pen name. "Sun Xianyu" is good.
Simple and easy to remember, looks like a serious person.
But there was a voice in his head that kept repeating: "Salted fish, my grandson! Salted fish, my grandson!"
He knew very well that "Xianyu Anlao Sun" was not as serious as "Sun Xianyu", but he still wanted to use this unorthodox name. Maybe he was an unorthodox person at heart?
After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and typed out "Salted Fish An Laosun" and sent it to the contracted editor.
The other party didn't laugh at his pen name. He might have laughed, but at least he didn't show it on QQ messages.
"Okay! Just wait a moment, I'll fill out the contract and send it to you!"
Sun Quan: "Okay, sorry to trouble you."
…
The signing matter is not complicated, and there is nothing to discuss about the specific contract terms. The other party said that the three young masters and others signed such contracts. Does Sun Quan have any reason to ask for modification of the contract terms?
Does he still dare to say that he is better than the Third Young Master and others?
Besides, at the beginning of this year, the contracts for authors were quite loose, and the benefits provided to the great masters were indeed quite good, not as overbearing as they would be n years later.
After receiving the platinum contract prepared by the contract editor, Sun Quan read it briefly and found no problems, so he copied the contract with a USB flash drive, drove out, printed out the electronic contract, signed his new pen name and real name, and then pressed
Send it to the address provided by the other party.
All that's left is to wait.
When the other party receives the contract, they will help him merge his two current pen names and mark him with the title of platinum author.
He was not in a hurry, nor did he show it off everywhere. He did not mention it in a single chapter of his work, nor did he announce it to the author group or the book fan group.
He still has some sense, and he knows that at this time, he should keep a low profile.
It's okay to be high-profile when doing things, but it's better to be low-key as a person.
He could imagine that if he promoted it everywhere at this time, it would not be long before the industry would spread the comment that he was a "little man who succeeds".
Maybe it doesn't matter if his peers think of him this way, but if most readers think of him this way, his online writing won't be good.
Because in the final analysis, no matter how awesome a master is, he still needs the support of thousands of book fans. If most book fans are disgusted with you as an author, they will still be willing to pay to subscribe to your works? Willingly give you a monthly vote? Or even take the initiative
Recommend your work to his friends? Recommend it to other readers?
Sun Quan has no experience in being a great master, but he has rich experience in fighting on the street.
When he was always on the street, he liked to ponder the psychology of book fans, and he also liked to stand as a reader and examine those successful and famous gods.
In those years, he had seen many great gods with their godheads shattered. New books published one after another were rushed to his grandma's house. At that time, Sun Quan had wondered why those great gods had their godheads shattered.
Is their work no longer good?
He had read those people's new books and felt that some of them were really out of step with the times. The writing style, plot direction and character creation were all the same as they were a few years ago. Sun Quan thought it was normal for such a great god to no longer have a godhead.
of.
However, there are some great masters whose new books are actually of good quality, but the data of the whole book is very bleak, so bad that it is even worse than his book.
Then why?
The reason he figured out in the end was that most of them were caused by the disappearance of these great gods.
Some have made inappropriate remarks and are disliked by most book fans.
Some people, after becoming successful and famous, don't take book fans seriously, and treat themselves as great gods in front of book fans. They even rely on their old skills and show off their skills in the writing of their works, as if they are very good.
…
etc.
In Sun Quan's opinion, the reason why such a great god is lost has nothing to do with his works, but to do with his character.
In other words, the persona is broken! I didn’t manage my own image well.
…
Therefore, if you fight on the street for a long time, in addition to becoming an old street fighter and dying on the street, there are still some benefits. Just like Sun Quan, he had been fighting for a long time before he was reborn, and he had seen many risers.
The fallen god.
I've seen their moments of glory, their unrivaled appearance, and I've also seen their divinity shattered and their embarrassment returning to the streets.
Now that he is lucky enough to sign a platinum contract with Didian, he can learn some of the lessons he has seen before.
At least in terms of being a human being, he has positive examples to learn from and negative examples to remind him all the time.
He reminded himself that in the future it was okay to wave occasionally, but not as much as before, and when he occasionally waved, he had to be careful not to make people feel that he was drifting.
…
But signing a platinum contract and not showing off at all is really not in line with his nature.
So he couldn't help but attack one of his own - his wife Yuan Shuiqing.
On the night when he signed the contract, he went to bed uncharacteristically early at 10 o'clock. At that time, Yuan Shuiqing was sitting on the bedside, flipping through a parenting book, and was very engrossed in it. When Sun Quan went to bed, she only glanced at him.
After a quick glance, he looked away.
Sun Quan leaned over with a mean smile, leaned his face on her shoulder, and asked meanly: "Miss Yuan, do you know that you are honored? Do you know that the man who is sharing the same bed with you now is a
