After thinking for a while, Zhong Yu decided to take the risk and give it a try.
Extraordinary people use extraordinary methods, and he thinks Xu Li is abnormal.
"Come here." Zhong Yu said coldly.
Xu Li immediately happily sat down next to Zhong Yu and hugged Zhong Yu's arm.
Zhong Yu whispered in Xu Li's ear for a while. After Xu Li listened, she looked at Zhong Yu excitedly: "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, get out!" Zhong Yu shouted.
Xu Li immediately admitted her mistake and said: "I believe it, I believe it. Then, then I'm leaving."
"Go away." Zhong Yu said softly.
When Xu Li opened the box door, Zhong Yu said: "Don't forget to pay!"
"I know, hee hee." Xu Li smiled.
Xu Li left, and Zhong Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
In any case, at least Xu Li will not harass him again within a year.
In the afternoon, Zhong Yu used QQ to add the editor of the Qihu novel website, and applied for verification as a friend to directly write the screenwriter of "We Are the Champions".
A few minutes later, Zhong Yu added an editor named Matcha.
"Are you really the metaphor for the screenwriter of "We Are the Champions"?" Matcha asked in a message. She was half-convinced. There were too many scammers on the Internet, especially because her position put her in constant contact with all kinds of people.
Zhong Yu: "If it's fake, it will be replaced. Please wait a moment and I'll send you some certificates."
So Zhong Yu sent some pictures that could prove his identity.
After seeing those pictures, Matcha confirmed that Zhong Yu was a real person and couldn't help but admire him: "Wow, he is really a hidden god! Hello, I have admired his name for a long time."
It turns out that Mo Hua also likes to play Honor of Kings and is a fan of "We Are the Champions", and must follow every episode.
The name of the Hidden God is naturally like thunder to her ears.
However, Zhong Yu didn't know that and thought the other party was just being polite.
He sent a message: "I want to publish a novel on your website."
Matcha: "Okay, you're very welcome! Can you send me the beginning to take a look?"
Zhong Yu: "Of course. However, before posting, I want to talk to you about the copyright, especially the film and television copyright. I hope to retain the film and television copyright."
Matcha: "Retain the film and television rights? It should be possible, but I need to ask our editor-in-chief for instructions. Can you send me the beginning of the novel first? It only needs 30,000 words."
Zhong Yu: "Okay."
So Zhong Yu copied the first 30,000 words of "Three Life Stones" into a Word file and sent it.
After receiving the document, Matcha immediately said: "Master, please wait a moment, I will review the manuscript for you right now."
Ten minutes later, Matcha replied: "I've finished reading it. It's very well written. However, it would be better if the pace at the beginning was faster. Internet articles are different from traditional novels, and they need a faster pace to keep readers engaged." Quickly jump in. This is my personal opinion and may not be correct.”
Zhong Yu: "Thank you for your advice. I'll try to modify it."
Zhong Yu is not arrogant. This is his first time writing a novel and he really needs to learn.
So, he thought about the first 30,000 words of the plot for a while, and then his fingers turned into afterimages on the keyboard as he typed.
A few minutes later, Zhong Yu refined the first 30,000 words to make the plot more concise and compressed it to more than 20,000 words.
Then, he gave the new beginning to Matcha.
After the new message was sent, Matcha did not accept it immediately, but took a few minutes to accept it.
Matcha: "Sorry, I just told the editor-in-chief. He said no problem, we will provide you with a customized contract."
Zhong Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
A few minutes later, Matcha sent another message: "Yin Shen, your initial revision is very good. I hope you can maintain this rhythm in the future. How much guarantee do you want?"
Zhong Yu directly sent two question marks.
Matcha immediately explained that it turned out that the Qihu Novel website is a free novel website. They basically receive a guaranteed share of the manuscripts, calculated based on how much a thousand words cost. If the advertising fee share exceeds the guaranteed share, they will be paid according to the share of the manuscript fee.
After Zhong Yu understood it, he casually said a number: "100 yuan for a thousand words."
Matcha: "Hidden God, are you sure you didn't miss a zero?"
Zhong Yu: "No, just one hundred yuan per thousand words."
His main purpose is to make the novel version of "Three Life Stones" popular and make "Three Life Stones" a valuable IP. As for the royalties, it doesn't matter.
What's more, the novel "Three Life Stones" is really popular, wouldn't it be possible to get royalties from advertising that exceed the guaranteed amount?
Matcha: "How about you add some more?"
She also thought she was funny. She usually bargained with the submitting authors, but she didn't expect that she actually asked the other party to increase the price this time.
Zhong Yu: "No need."
It is true that Yin Shen wants this price, so Matcha said: "Since you only want this price, then I can make the decision directly."
So, the next step is to sign the contract online.
Half an hour later, the contract was signed, and Zhong Yu officially became a contracted author on the Qihu novel website.
After signing the contract, Zhong Yu didn't waste any time and uploaded the novel directly, uploading the revised beginning in one go.
Finally, he continued to revise and condense the subsequent content of "Three Life Stones" to speed up the pace of the novel.
He didn't stop revising until Su Qingyu came back from get off work in the evening.
With outstanding achievements, he has completed the practice of more than 600,000 words, and condensed the more than 600,000 words of the original text into more than 400,000 words.
He estimates that the entire "Three Life Stones" will be revised from more than 2.4 million words to about 2 million words.
After dinner, Zhong Yu and Su Qingyu took a walk in the community together.
The two held hands intimately and chatted while walking.
Su Qingyu mentioned the establishment of a new company and wanted Zhong Yu to participate more.
Zhong Yu listened helplessly.
At the end, Su Qingyu said: "I plan to invest some of my own money in the new company. Do you have any ideas?"
In Qingyuan Group, Su Qingyu only holds 45% of the shares. She has confidence in the new company and hopes to take more shares.
Zhong Yu asked: "What is the total investment in the new company?"
"The total investment is one billion." Su Qingyu said, "The investment is divided into three phases in five years. The first phase is 200 million, the second phase is two years later, 300 million, and the third phase is in the fifth year, 500 million."
"How much do you plan to invest?" Zhong Yu asked again.
Su Qingyu: "Three hundred million."
Zhong Yu thought for a moment: "Then I'll invest 100 million."
According to the proportion, he only needs to invest 20 million in the first phase. If the new company fails, only 20 million will be wasted, so the risk is not big.
Su Qingyu couldn't help but smile charmingly, and changed her hand to hold Zhong Yu's arm.
It was not because Zhong Yu provided money to support her, but because she believed that they would be able to go further in the future if they deepened their interest relationship.
After the walk, Zhong Yu returned to the villa and went directly to his room to revise the novel.
After one night, Zhong Yu revised the original text of more than 800,000 words.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhong Yu continued to revise the novel.
However, before revising the novel, he first updated it by 100,000 words, bringing the published novel to more than 120,000 words.
Finally, he sent a message to tell Matcha.
About half an hour later, Matcha sent him a message saying that "Sanshengshi" had been published on the Qihu Novel APP, and it would be recommended to him on Friday.
In addition, Matcha also taught Zhong Yu some tricks to maintain popularity, such as stable and long-term updates, which is enough to update 6,000 to 10,000 words a day.
Zhong Yu agreed and decided to update 30,000 words every day.
