Sunflower Publishing House specializes in children's books.
In fact, after recommending Yu Ruonan to Sun Peng, Zheng Ye later became concerned about picture books, and even wanted to help Sun Peng publish this set of picture books. Although the printing cost of a set of ten picture books is high, and martial arts
Children's picture books written by novel writers are so unreliable no matter how unreliable they are, but Sun Peng is the most famous writer under him after all, so Zheng Ye has no reason not to use this opportunity to win over him.
However, Zheng Ye was willing, but Sun Peng declined.
The scale of Shuxiang Publishing House is indeed large, and its distribution capacity is proportional to its scale, but after all, it does not specialize in children's books, so it does not have any inherent advantages. And for Sun Peng, the biggest problem is that he is unwilling to put eggs in one
In the basket, especially when the difference between martial arts novels and children's picture books is so big.
If published in Shuxiang, can there be a sales bonus?
What he is afraid of is that Zheng Ye will focus on promoting the author of the book in order to sell sales. When the time comes, he will send it to the dealer and put it on the shelf with the name of the latest work of the author of Shooting Condor, Swordsman, and Divine Condor, and then the old readers will open their eyes and take a look.
, a thick stack of children's picture books with cute covers...
Fame is hard-won, and Sun Peng decided to cherish it.
So after making a phone call to Chen Ruoyi and reaffirming that the remaining two books could definitely be completed around April 20th, Sun Peng made an appointment with the editor of Sunflower Publishing House to meet on the 25th, when he would bring a complete set of ten books.
I gave it to the other party for review, and then started the hard typing life again...
The weather in Beijing is getting warmer day by day.
The manuscript fees for Shuxiang Chinese Network in March arrived quickly, totaling more than two million, and Sun Peng was quite satisfied with the figures. The manuscript fees for the old books Swordsman and Legend of the Condor Heroes continued to be stable, and because of the physical books,
Reason network subscription also
It is slowly declining, but there are still 500,000 to 600,000. However, the Nine Sun Magic Art and the Great Shift of the Universe have appeared one after another, and the Battle of Guangmingding has grandly debuted. The March manuscript fee of Yitian Sword and Dragon Sword has exploded, and it has increased by 60% compared to February!
Therefore, in the following April, Sun Peng expressed great expectations, just as he expected physical sales to explode one day in the future.
Yes, in Sun Peng's opinion, the sales of several novels have been flat.
Although they are still on the sales list of Guhu.com, the three sets of martial arts novels have lost the glory they had when they were first launched last year. The total print run of the three sets of books is at least one million copies, but the buying wave of online readers has passed.
, the potential of fans of physical chivalry novels has also been exhausted, and now it is relying on new online fans and new passers-by who come in based on word-of-mouth to support sales.
In this era of fierce competition, it is not easy to break out again.
After all, chivalrous novels are a declining genre, and the concept of martial arts novels has not been widely accepted except by online readers, so unless Shuxiang Publishing House invests huge sums of money in crazy promotion, or there is a popular adaptation of martial arts movies, TV series or animations
Promote it, otherwise Sun Peng wouldn't be able to think of any good ideas.
Fortunately, the reputation of the three sets of books has been overwhelming, so although the sales have gradually declined, they have always remained in the top 30 or 40 of the rankings. Of course, Sun Peng doesn't care about the rankings at all. His only criterion for judging sales is whether to increase sales.
Seal - Zheng Ye has not talked about sealing for two or three months. This is really not something Sun Peng is used to!
If other writers knew his thoughts, they might secretly throw rocks at the glass of his house!
Damn it, we have been in the real world for ten or twenty years. Let alone one million units sold in one year, we would be as happy as if we had two hundred thousand units in one year. You have only been in the industry for a little more than a year.
My little kid is not used to the days without reprinting? And this was only a few years ago when we printed millions of sets in one go? It’s simply a suicide attempt...
…
"...Dapeng, have you finished writing today's new chapter?"
As soon as he entered the gate of the Sun family's old house after getting off work, Zheng Jia asked anxiously with excitement on his face: "Have Xiao Yu'er and the others escaped from Wei Wuya's trap? How did they escape?"
"Uh...it's on the computer desktop, take a look for yourself."
Sun Peng, who was resting on the sofa, rolled his eyes and pointed at the notebook.
Ever since I accidentally saw Sun Peng writing a new novel two days ago, Zheng Jia began to have dinner with her boyfriend after work every day, because Sun Peng firmly opposed sending the electronic manuscript to her, and the reason was very normal - this novel
In the future, it will be released in conjunction with the cartoon. You can just take a look at it yourself, but you must not take the manuscript away, otherwise what will you do if your brother and father see it?
After trying to be coquettish a few times but to no avail, Zheng Jia had no choice but to come over to her boyfriend's house to check in after get off work every day.
However, Zheng Jia scoffed at Sun Peng's statement, and could even be said to be deeply suspicious of his motives. In addition to Zheng Jia's deep confidence in his own character, it was also because this guy could write 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, every time.
It was past eight o'clock when she finished reading, and during this period Sun Peng always came to harass him countless times, and he became more and more shameless every time...
…
"Oh, don't make trouble!"
After slapping Sun Peng's strange hands away again, Zheng Jia glared at him and then closed the notebook.
Zheng Jia turned his face sideways to reflect on the chapter he just read, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Hehe, this Xuanyuan Sanguang is really interesting. When you win money, you only need to be kowtowed by others, but when you lose money, you have to pay real money. It's just that
In order to make people gamble with him... But I still found that the young woman in purple is more handsome, she lost so much without blinking... Who are they?"
Like most readers, Zheng Jia hates fragmented dogs very much!
However, Sun Peng, who is looking forward to his girlfriend coming over in the evening, of course refused to reveal it. He just shook his head and said with a smile: "Well... you can come over tomorrow night and have a look, and you will know?"
Knowing that her boyfriend would definitely not say anything, Zheng Jia pouted angrily.
But in just a short time, Zheng Jia returned his attention to the book he had just read: "Dapeng, I found that you seem to be very good at writing bad guys. Most of the top ten villains here are very interesting.
The new Xuanyuan Sanguang is so interesting that people can’t really hate them, but that Xiao Mimi is a bit disgusting.”
Persevering, Sun Peng stretched out his hands again, but this time Sun Peng just hugged his girlfriend's slender waist, eyes glaring and said angrily: "What do you mean I am good at writing bad guys? What's wrong with me writing good people?"
"Tsk, how many good people have you written about?"
After rolling his eyes at his boyfriend, Zheng Jia's charming appearance made Sun Peng couldn't help but stretch out his sinful hands again...
But what he said is true, there are indeed not many really good people in Jin Dada's works.
Or in other words, judging by modern people’s standards, there are definitely not many good people in the book. For example, the hero Guo Jing and the nine-fingered beggar Hong Qigong, one is honest and the other is upright, especially Hong
What Qi Gong said to Ouyang Feng was even more admirable. But of these two people, one married Huang Rong and recognized Huang Yaoshi as his father-in-law; the other accepted Huang Rong as his apprentice and was also an old friend with Huang Yaoshi...
Are the two people named Huang considered good people?
Anyway, from Sun Peng's point of view, it definitely doesn't count, but it's not annoying either.
So at least from the perspective of "making friends with gangsters", Xiao Guo and Lao Hong also have problems. Of course, it is even more painful to measure the characters in the novel based on modern people's moral standards. At least Sun Peng feels that such a novel
It looks much more interesting and real, and it is much better than those novels where the characters are stereotyped and good and evil are clearly defined.
but……
When Sun Peng thought that he would probably "transition" to write ancient novels, those pitiful novels full of conspiracy and betrayal, with few good people, Sun Peng felt that it was cool to have a police girlfriend with a strong sense of justice by his side.
A headache...
…
"Tsk tsk, the weather is indeed getting warmer!"
On the way to send his girlfriend home, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the crowds of people on the road.
The temperature in Beijing has risen in late April, so everyone no longer stays at home at night, but goes out to go shopping and eat. Of course, the square dances of the aunts also become active again. Sometimes Sun Peng also has to
Not to marvel at the similarities between the two worlds, the square dance that everyone loves to see on earth is also in full swing here. It only takes 20 minutes to walk from Sun Peng’s house to Zheng Jia, but there are at least four or five waves along the way!
"Dapeng, let's go traveling in a while?"
While walking, Zheng Jia suddenly raised his head and asked.
"travel?"
After hearing this suggestion, Sun Peng perked up and nodded repeatedly: "Of course you can, but when will you have a holiday? Where do you want to go?"
Apart from the occasional walk around the countryside, Sun Peng has not gone out to play since he came here.
and……
Gee, this is the legendary couple’s trip!
If you are going to a relatively far place... it is best to go abroad. It is not like going to the suburbs for skiing or bathing in hot springs. It will take at least ten or eight days to go back tomorrow, right? In summer, abroad, it is said that at this time
, many girls will be more enthusiastic than when they were in China...
His eyes rolled around, and Sun Peng's heart suddenly became hot.
"Hehe, I haven't thought about it yet..."
Blinking his eyes, Zheng Jia just said something with a smile, and suddenly he looked up not far ahead with a surprised look on his face: "Dapeng, listen quickly!"
"Ah? What are you listening to?"
Sun Peng was focused on his own little thoughts at the moment and asked with a blank look on his face.
"Oh, listen to the music they play!"
Hurriedly pulling Sun Peng to walk a few steps, Zheng Jia pointed to a wave of square dancing ladies in front of her and said.
"Square dance music?"
At this time, Sun Peng came back to his senses, and then listened carefully, and suddenly he said "I'm lying on the grass!"
…
You are my little apple
I can never love you too much
The red little face warms my heart
light the fire of my life
fire fire fire fire fire
…
What's going on?
Looking at the aunts not far away who were dancing enthusiastically to the music but not very skilled in their movements, and then looking back at his girlfriend who looked surprised, the expression on Sun Peng's face suddenly became extremely exciting:
Apple, little Apple, have you finally burst into this world and entered the field of square dancing?
