The next day, Wang Huansheng's call came at an inappropriate time.
Liu Qingshan was delivering breakfast to the bedside like a dog. Because there was an extra person around him, he missed his morning exercise for the first time today.
Just in time to see a satisfied smile on Jin Xishan's lips, the phone rang.
"Huatu First Publishing House agreed with your conditions, but his editor-in-chief asked to meet with you before discussing the final publishing issue!"
Liu Qingshan was a little speechless: "The quality of the book is there. Since you have approved my conditions, it means that you are also optimistic about its prospects. Do you still need an interview?"
"Yes, and it seems to be very urgent. It should be that there are other different opinions in their publishing house, right?"
"Okay, you text me the time and place of the meeting, and I'll find a car to get to the appointment on time."
"Shanzi, my suggestion is that you'd better do some preparation work, such as the preparation of the second book. Isn't it going to be released online?"
After replying to Lawyer Wang, before he could say sorry, Jin Xishan had already gotten out of bed, changed from his previous lazy and coquettish attitude, and got dressed quickly.
"Business matters! I'll tell Sister Xuan Ji to prepare the vehicle. Go and have a bite. Get dressed and Sister will go with you!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "You should eat first, I need to make some preparations, that is, the signing of the second book!"
Jin Xishan was surprised: "You also wrote a second novel?"
"I can't talk about the second part at the moment. I just wrote a small part and put it online to test the waters!"
"Which type? Or a historical drama?"
"Forget it, just read it yourself. I guess it looks a little more difficult to you than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" because I write an oriental fantasy novel."
He had already opened an interface on the Qicheng Chinese website on his computer. It was the novel page of "Fights Break the Sphere", which was in serialization status.
This was written by Liu Qingshan when he was in Hengdian a few days ago. He only uploaded a hundred chapters and updated it automatically at the rate of ten chapters every day.
In fact, on the third day, he received a message from the editor-in-chief of Qicheng.com requesting a contract. However, the conditions given by the largest novel website in China prevented him from replying.
But at this time, the message area of "Fights Break the Sphere" was already in chaos. Jin Xishan did not open the chapter page at this time, but was flipping through the message area excitedly and browsing quickly.
She was also talking: "Most of the topics are about urging updates. It seems that your works are very popular, but many people are also asking, why haven't you changed the status? What does changing the status mean?"
"I have only written this much about this book so far. To change the status, you can only have some formal permissions after signing a contract with the website, such as page recommendations, reader rewards, etc."
"Why don't you sign a contract?"
"What I want is the treatment of a platinum writer, but unfortunately I don't have enough qualifications. At least I don't have the foundation to complete a novel with a subscription of more than 10,000 yuan. So I plan to give up some things. I previously retained the publishing rights for adapted games, comics and physical books. The idea is a bit naive.”
"Yeah, you haven't achieved anything yet, so this website can only treat you as an ordinary author!"
"But I can choose to only sign a preliminary contract and make a bet with the website. If the average number of subscriptions after listing exceeds 10,000, I will have to sign a new contract!"
"Bet? Can you guarantee that this book will be read?"
"I can't guarantee it, but I'm confident. I'll contact the editor immediately!"
As he spoke, Liu Qingshan's fingers kept moving and he quickly connected the other party's account on QQ on his mobile phone.
While he was busy, Jin Xishan was also paying attention to the content of the message.
Amidst the cheers. Naturally, there are also quite a few disparaging voices.
"From the perspective of writing style, layout, plot, character description, psychological action description, writing skills, etc., it is very poor!"
"It's very weak, the plot is dragging, the words are repeated, the ending has no suspense, and the fighting scenes are very poor and unwatchable."
"The character's personality is not distinctive enough. The entire novel is dedicated to the promotion of the male lead. There is no so-called supporting role, only supporting roles. All the female characters and the protagonist's friends only exist for the protagonist and disappear immediately when they are not strong enough... ..."
"There are a lot of loopholes in the whole text. It's a good article, but there are so many flaws..."
"Going back upstairs, it's very valuable to seek common ground while reserving differences. There's no need to convince each other. It's just fun to read online articles and pictures."
Liu Qingshan was actually mentally prepared for these negative comments. The reason he only redeemed the first hundred chapters was because he activated the work quality upgrade function of the Super Star Maker.
He had read the entire story and could sense the many flaws in the novel.
For example, the structural routine was too obvious, which led to the collapse of the later combat power system; the growth structure of brushing dungeons was fine, but there was a big taboo about this structure, that is, it could not be backtracked.
And after the eight ancient clans came out, Liu Qingshan couldn't figure it out. The ancient clan's divine bloodline and Dou Zun were all over the place. The young people in the clan randomly grabbed an ancient monster. Gu Qingyang was a seven- or eight-star Dou Zun. As a result, the clan leader He sent an old Douhuang man to serve as a bodyguard for his daughter...
That's not the worst, what's even worse is the talented young people who pop up out of nowhere.
He could feel the collapse of the combat power system, so the system needed to improve this novel into an optimal version and make some corrections to fill in the few inconsistent bugs.
In general, "Fights Break the Sphere" is the most intuitive and refreshing work. A work that can be archived by Super Star Maker must be a classic with a wide range of consumer groups and huge influence.
It’s just that the currency system and national worldview settings in the book, although most people would not consider them at all, were also extremely complicated to design by the original author.
Liu Qingshan originally wanted to explain it in the article, but found that it was quite troublesome to explain and would make it more difficult for readers to understand, so he devoted himself to system improvement, even if it cost twice as many reputation points.
While Jin Xishan was worried about the future of this novel, Liu Qingshan's intention to sign the contract had been finalized.
"In principle, the website has agreed to my bet. They will send someone to formally discuss subsequent matters after the results are released."
Only then did Jin Xishan express her inner thoughts.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Let everything be based on results, and that's what we talked about with the website. The current number of reads and collections of this book is amazing. Once the book is signed and recommended by the website, maybe the results will explode!" "
The editor-in-chief of Huatu First Publishing House, referred to as Huayi, is a middle-aged man named Tong Ziliang.
Although through Wang Huansheng's revelation, he knew that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was the work of Liu Qingshan, he was only slightly surprised. After all, this person was just a newcomer who had appeared recently.
But when he saw the aftermath of Jin Xi coming behind him, Editor-in-Chief Tong Da felt a little uneasy.
The person sitting next to him at this moment was Wang Huansheng.
This was the first time Jin Xishan met the rumored lawyer Wang, but the current situation was different from the past, and the formal introduction between the two could only be left to private time later.
So Jin Xishan just nodded to him and shook hands with Tong Ziliang who stood up as if flattered.
