Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when he submitted his manuscript, he seemed to have seen that this publishing house was holding an essay solicitation activity, so he sent the manuscript there...
He didn't even have high expectations.
After all, in this kind of essay solicitation activity, works are usually posted to magazines and other platforms for competition...
Only the winners will have the opportunity to be published.
In his opinion, this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can definitely be published.
did not expect……
He was actually slapped in the face.
He thought for a while, nodded and said:
“Contact them and see what they say!”
Anyway, he published the book just to get the reputation of this work out there so that he can easily transport his film and television works in the future.
Whether it is published or not is not very important.
It doesn't hurt to give it a try.
But this time, the other party responded quickly.
As soon as Huang Yu replied, he received the other party's friend application.
After exchanging a few words, she turned to Li Qing and said:
"They said they want to have a chat with you in person..."
"Then let's make an appointment to meet!"
…
In the next few days, Li Qing also became busy.
Although, there are only two people in his current studio including himself.
However, they can't always be just the two of them.
After all, moving those works, especially those film and television works, cannot be done by him alone.
There are even some war songs that require a band to complete.
He must form his own team.
It's impossible to stay in your current home forever.
Therefore, he still has a lot of things to run around.
For example, venue rental...
Another example, industrial and commercial registration...
But fortunately, having Huang Yu as a tool saves him a lot of trouble.
Not long after, a studio called ‘Aurora’ was quietly established in Jingzhou.
Of course, when the studio was established, there were no flowers or applause.
Even the opening ceremony was not held.
Neither of them cared.
After all, the current Aurora is no different from a leather bag company.
Apart from the two of them visiting each other every day at the beginning, later on they simply didn't bother to visit.
After all, both of them knew that Li Qing's works were the focus of the studio.
It doesn't matter whether it's a studio or not.
At least, it doesn't matter in the early stages.
However, on this day, the two of them arrived at the studio very early... and the coffee shop downstairs.
Today is the day we had arranged to meet with the Third Pole.
The two of them still attached great importance to this meeting.
After all, if the negotiation goes smoothly, the studio will be open...
…
Li Qing attaches great importance to this meeting, and the Third Pole naturally attaches equal importance to it.
This can be seen from the fact that they took the initiative to come to Jingzhou.
Although it is normal for publishing houses to proactively approach famous authors when they invite them to write manuscripts.
But those are the preserve of famous writers.
New authors, under normal circumstances, do not receive such preferential treatment.
However, they still came.
One can imagine how seriously they attached importance to this meeting.
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
Under normal circumstances, famous writers will cooperate directly with publishing houses and their works will be published directly.
Who would come here to participate in the essay competition?
That's not necessary, is it?
This time, I finally came across a good book, and it was hard for everyone to ignore it.
After all, the essay submissions will be serialized in magazines.
If it works well, their magazine sales can double several times.
Therefore, when Hongdou reported this novel to the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief immediately reported it to the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief decided on the spot that he must sign this work.
So, this trip to Jingzhou took place.
Early in the morning, Hongdou and the editor-in-chief and his team arrived at the meeting place.
"Hongdou, you have had more contact with Teacher Guyong. What kind of person do you think he is?" After several people found their seats and sat down, the editor couldn't help but ask.
"I see that his real name appears to be Li Qing. Do you think it could be that Li Qing?"
"Editor-in-Chief, you are thinking too much, this is obviously just the same name..."
Hongdou naturally knew what the editor-in-chief meant.
After all, the real name given by that teacher Gu Yong was actually Li Qing.
And that Li Qing seems to be in Jingzhou?
At first, she didn't think about having a chance encounter with her idol.
After all, he is also a fan of Li Qing.
However, as soon as she thought about it, she felt it was impossible.
"We have all read the beginning of the book Shooting the Condor. The steady writing power is obviously not something that can be written by a young person. I think Teacher Gu Yong should be a scholar in his forties, probably similar to
Singer Li Qing has the same name..."
"That's true. You said, we finally come to Jingzhou, is it possible to see the idol..."
"It's probably impossible. That's a big star. It's probably hard for ordinary people to meet him..."
At this point, Hongdou became a little surprised.
"I can't tell, editor-in-chief, you are also star-chasing..."
"You do not understand……"
The editor-in-chief glanced at her.
Can little girls like you understand "Serve the Country with Loyalty"?
But I just like people because of their looks...
shallow!
"Why don't I understand..."
Because she discovered this book this time, Hongdou had some confidence to speak even in front of the editor.
"Aren't they all just chasing stars? What's the difference?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something.
"Editor-in-Chief, you have to give me a few days off after this is over. It's such a shame that I finally came to Jingzhou and didn't see my idol..."
"Okay, remember to ask for an autograph for me then..."
"Oye, thank you editor-in-chief, I'm so happy..."
Anko couldn't help but cheered.
However, before she could be happy for long, she was interrupted by a voice next to her.
"It's too early for you to be happy..."
She turned around and saw that familiar face.
Although she was wearing sunglasses, her handsome face was still recognizable at a glance...
She was shocked immediately.
"You, you are... Li Qing, Teacher Guyong?"
"That's right, but I'm not as old as you said. You should call me Li Qing..."
After hearing Li Qing's admission, a group of people around Hong Dou couldn't help but show a look of disbelief.
The writer who is unanimously favored by the editorial department is actually Li Qing?
And, is he so handsome?
More handsome than on TV...
It's simply unreasonable.
This is completely different from the image of Teacher Gu Yong that everyone imagines.
It was the editor-in-chief who reacted first.
"Hello, Mr. Li Qing, I am Mo Mo, the editor-in-chief of the martial arts category under the Third Pole, and I am responsible for the "Xia Ke Island" magazine."
"Hello."
Li Qing stretched out his hand, shook hands with him, and then turned sideways: "Let me introduce to you, this is my assistant Huang Yu. If you have anything to do in the future, you can talk to her directly..."
"Hello!"
"Hello……"
Several people quickly said hello again.
No one was surprised that Li Qing brought an assistant.
After all, he is a big star himself, so why should he have an assistant?
Soon, several people found places to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Li Qing suddenly said: "Now, can you tell me what you want to do with me?"
He was actually a little curious.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need for the other party to come to see you when participating in this kind of essay solicitation.
Even if the draft is finished, both parties can just communicate online.
"Hello, Teacher Li Qing..."
This time, Hongdou stood up first.
"It's like this. After unanimous discussion in our editorial department, we all feel that your "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is an extremely excellent work, so, so..."
"So, we would like to invite you to come to our third pole to publish your works!"
This time, it was the editor-in-chief who answered the call for her.
However, after he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, we didn't expect you to be Teacher Gu Yong at first. It was too abrupt..."
Come to think of it, he is a big star himself.
Coming to write novels is probably just following nature, so how could I be here to stay?
As a result, what he didn't expect was that Li Qing seemed to have some interest in the station he mentioned.
"What kind of station method?"
"Ah, what did you say?"
The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment and then suddenly came to his senses.
What a surprise...
He quickly took out a contract and took it out...
Li Qing: "..."
…
This negotiation went very smoothly.
Here, I have to say that Huang Yu is a qualified agent.
During the negotiation, I grasped my own advantages well...
Although, Li Qing does not intend to use his name to announce this work.
However, as long as he is here, it is a huge advantage...
Therefore, she still helped Li Qing get an extremely good treatment.
For example, the right to priority publication.
For example, post-publication royalties...
Yes, it's just royalties.
You know, under normal circumstances, when a newcomer publishes a book, the price is paid out.
The publishing house will give the author a sum of money. After the book is published, no matter how good the results are, it has nothing to do with the author.
But this time, they got a share of the royalties.
Although it is not high, only 7% royalties.
However, he still retains the copyright of this work in his own hands...
As a newcomer, it is pretty good to be able to negotiate such conditions.
Of course, the third pole is not at a loss either.
After all, Li Qing only said that he would not be able to sell books under his name in the near future.
This work will also need to be serialized in a magazine first, and then it will be considered for publication.
By the time the novel is published, Li Qing's name should still be available.
And by that time, who knows how popular Li Qing will be?
By then, no matter how poorly written this book is, someone will probably pay for it.
What's more, the writing is not bad...
So, it’s a win-win…
Soon, the two parties signed the contract and it officially came into effect.
Then, at the strong request of several people, Li Qing took a group photo with everyone...
However, just when everyone had just finished taking photos, there was a sudden exclamation in the cafe.
"Oh my God, that's...Lin Xiao?"
"What, Lin Xiao is here?"
"hiss……"
A group of people exclaimed, and Li Qing couldn't help but look towards the door.
Then I discovered that it was actually Lin Xiao.
What made him even more unexpected was that Lin Xiao was obviously coming for him.
After seeing him, she actually walked straight towards him.
Then, he showed a charming smile,
"Hello Li Qing, do you have time?"
A group of people around me looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but take a breath.
