In the next five days, Lin Ping buried himself in writing at the speed of ten chapters a day. Lin Ping's crazy writing finally paid off. A whirlwind of stars was set off on the Internet. Whether one liked it or not, there was no doubt that " Stellar Transformations " became popular, and it was extremely popular. It quickly became popular all over the Internet. This brand new story mode, which was called Xianxia by the author Xiao Chen himself, surprised everyone. Although the writing style was average, However, his unrestrained imagination had almost created an era and a model that was different from any previous novels.
Lin Ping stretched his back and thought that he couldn't continue like this. Although the gains from these five days of hard work were not small, the problem was that these five days were too hard. He could be considered to be healthy, but after these five days of crazy writing, he had lost a lot of weight. He could even use the word thin. If he continued to write like this, he would collapse. He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for Third Young Master to persist for a few years by writing 9,000 chapters a day. No wonder Third Young Master said that he was plagued by illness.
At this moment, Lin Ping's QQ notification rang. He had just applied for this QQ a few days ago. The entire QQ interface was not much different from 2010. Perhaps this was the reason why QQ had fought its way out of the encirclement of so many instant messaging companies and finally occupied the entire instant messaging market in China.
Lin Ping's QQ nickname was still the author's nickname from his previous life, Xiao Chen.
A Penguin icon kept flashing. Lin Ping tapped on it, and the window popped up. He looked at the name and saw that it was an account called Editor Crown.
"Hello!"
"Hello!" Lin Ping replied," You are…"。”
"Let me introduce myself. I am an editor from Taiwan Crown Culture Press!”
It turned out to be an editor from a publishing house. Lin Ping had left his QQ number on the Internet. Since he did not have a mobile phone, he probably contacted him through that QQ number. In this era where there was no starting point, if an author wanted to make money, he would naturally think of publishing to make money.
Just like how authors chose to publish their novels on websites, authors nowadays had to choose a large-scale, well-run publishing house if they wanted to earn higher royalties and make their works more influential. Lin Ping had also heard of Crown. It was a very large publishing house in Taiwan.
Lin Ping was also a little tempted to have a powerful publishing house to publish his novel. It would undoubtedly be of great help to the promotion of "The Stars" and earn higher royalties. Moreover, Crown was a publishing house in Taiwan. It not only had publishing business in the mainland, but also in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea. This was a relationship that the mainland publishing house could not compare to. It was not only in terms of size. For a publishing firm, the size of the firm and whether it had sufficient funds were of course important, but the breadth of its network was also important.
"Did you come to find me for the Stellar Transformation?”Lin Ping asked. This was basically nonsense. If not for this, what else could he do?
"Yes, may I ask if the copyright of the Stellar Transformations is still in your hands?”
"Yes, I'm here!" This was the first editor to approach him. Lin Ping didn't know why either. Logically speaking, there was no reason that such an excellent work couldn't be seen by those publishing houses. Lin Ping could only explain it by saying that the time was too short.
Then, the editor of Crown began to talk about how long the history of Crown was, how brilliant the results were, and how broad the business was. In short, he almost told Lin Ping that Crown was the most awesome publishing firm.
Of course, as an old man who had been in the literary world for many years, he naturally wouldn't be fooled by his bragging. Although this scale was important, many key interests couldn't be compromised.
However, due to the fact that he was a newcomer, the editor of Crown only offered a 4% cut. Lin Ping was so angry that he laughed. 4%? Ha, I really don't understand. Could it be that they can't see the potential of Stellar Transformations? Or did he really think that Lin Ping didn't know anything?
In fact, at that time, people still couldn't see the huge potential of online literature. They were still focused on traditional literature, thinking that no matter what, online literature couldn't earn as much as traditional literature. Therefore, when it was later revealed that some online authors earned more than a million yuan a year, they didn't believe it at all. How was it possible? It was only three cents per thousand words. How could it accumulate to a million yuan in the end?
The same was true for Crown Press. The profits from traditional literature publishing allowed them to temporarily not need to look for new markets, especially in the mainland. This time, they came to look for Lin Ping because the editor happened to see Lin Ping's " Stellar Transformations " and spent a lot of effort to convince the chief editor to sign on and publish it. Unfortunately, even so, the conditions were not high. If it was Lin Ping's own book in his previous life, he felt that the conditions were not bad. However, this was Stellar Transformations, a work that was destined to be popular. If he were to sell it at a low price, he would definitely not accept it.
No matter what, Crown was unwilling to increase their share. The differences between the two sides were too great. One side believed that his work was definitely at the level of a god and would definitely not be sold at a low price. He had to sell it at a high price to be worthy of this work. He had to be worthy of the hard work he had put in writing day and night. He also believed that someone would definitely recognize the hero, so he insisted on at least a 10% share. On the other hand, the other party felt that although " Stars " had achieved great success on the Internet, no one knew if it would continue its glory when it returned to traditional publishing methods. There was no precedent before this, so this was a very risky move. Moreover, the author himself was a super newcomer who couldn't be any more new. Such an author had no appeal to speak of. Moreover, Crown's business was spread all over East Asia, even if the share was a little small. However, with their powerful sales channels, the returns would definitely not be small. Of course, the most important point was that the higher-ups did not give him too much authority!
Both sides could not reach an agreement, and neither was willing to give in. The final result could only be that the negotiations fell apart. Both sides felt that the other party would definitely regret it!
Not long after their conversation ended, Lin Ping's QQ rang again. It was another publishing firm. However, the difference was that this time, the publishing firm was a mainland publishing firm, and it was a publishing firm that Lin Ping had never heard of before. Moreover, during the chat, the other party did not shy away from admitting that they were a new publishing firm that had been established for less than a year. It was called Blue Sky. Lin Ping originally wanted to reject it directly, but the other party said that their boss would come personally to talk to Lin Ping. Lin Ping felt the other party's sincerity, so he directly refused. Instead, he left an address.
