"This child is really capable!" Tong Wenjie said in a daze as she watched Lin Yi leave.
Fang Yuan nodded in agreement and said," You're indeed capable. You can publish novels, sing well, and even write your own songs.”
"Dad, can Brother Lin Yi sing?”Fang Duoduo blinked her big eyes. She was already shining with excitement, but now she became even more excited.
She was a fan of novels. When she was free, she liked to read online novels. She liked fantasy, martial arts, and supernatural. She just didn't like female novels. They were romantic, pretentious, and ugly.
In addition to novels, Fang Duoduo also liked to listen to songs. When she heard her father say that Lin Yi not only knew how to write novels but also sang, she was naturally curious.
"Yes, I picked up Fanfan and Lei 'er from school this afternoon. Didn't I suddenly add an evening self-study session? I didn't manage to pick them up. Song Qian just happened to be delivering dinner to the two children. I heard Xiao Yi's phone ring. It was a song he recorded himself. It was his own creation. It's really not bad. It's even better than many professional singers' songs nowadays.”Fang Yuan explained.
"Wow, that's amazing. He's good at his studies and is also versatile. Look at Fang Yifan!”Tong Wenjie instantly thought of her son and looked at Fang Yifan through the window.
Fang Yifan was gnawing on his fingers, completely focused. As for the paper on the table, he found it troublesome to look at it.
"Look at Fang Yifan. He's absent-minded. If Fang Yifan had a small part of Xiao Yi, it would be fine! While others were doing the questions, he was doing his manicure!”
Fang Duoduo couldn't help but laugh at her mother's words.
Song Qian almost burst out laughing. However, she felt that it was inappropriate and forced herself to hold it in.
"Mom, not everyone is as talented as Brother Lin Yi.”Fang Duoduo giggled.
As she spoke, Lin Lei 'er also stood up and walked towards the house with the papers.
"Your Lei 'er is not bad either. He finished it so quickly. Wait a moment, don't be anxious. It's not bad to have someone who can study without worry. I'll go take a look.”Song Qian patted Tong Wenjie's shoulder and said. She got up and left the room.
……
Indifferent was a contract editor of Xian Tian Xia Press. He was in charge of finding outstanding works of online literature and publishing them in real life.
It was just that online literature had just begun to flourish, so there weren't that many good works. After that, he had basically searched through all the old books with excellent results, and those that were suitable for publication had also been published. However, his work couldn't just stop moving forward.
This month's performance was still a lot worse. Just as she was fretting, a friend of Reading Chinese Network, who was also Lin Yi's editor in charge, Lang Zi, suddenly sent her a message.
The content of the message was very simple. It was to recommend two new books to her and see if they could be published.
Just as he was worried that his performance was not up to standard, the prodigal son gave him charcoal in the snow, allowing Indifferent and Heartless to see the hope of meeting the performance standards.
Langzi was an old editor at the Reading Network. His performance was outstanding. The books he recommended to her were basically all published, and many of them had good results. Just like that, their relationship had always been good.
Just like that, Indifferent and Heartless started reading. The two new books had a word count of slightly more than 100,000 words. He looked at their pen names and realized that they were both from the same person.
She randomly opened a book and read it for a whole day. When she finished reading both books, it was already afternoon. She even forgot to eat lunch and focused all the way until the afternoon!
Because it was a publication review, he read it very carefully.
Gold Touching: Ghost Blows Out the Light, Grave Robber's Chronicles
The theme of the two books was very novel. No one had written them before. It was the first time that Indifferent had read them. The writing was experienced and smooth, making Indifferent feel satisfied.
Then, Indifferent realized how exciting these two books were. They would definitely make people's eyes light up. They would be attracted to them at first glance. Then, Indifferent sent the manuscripts of these two books to the managing editor and quickly ran to the managing editor to ask him to review them.
It was such a good book, and according to Langzi, the results were not bad. There were already other publishing firms asking about publishing, so they could not delay it.
He stayed with the managing editor for a full two hours. After the managing editor finished reading the two books, he was also impressed and insisted on signing them. Only then did he hurriedly inform Langzi and ask for Lin Yi's contact information.
It was already night time.
As soon as Lin Yi went online, he received a beeping friend notification on his WeChat.
Langzi had already sent a message. The person who added him was the contract editor of Xian Tian Xia Press. He was cold and heartless.
After clicking on the pass, the other party sent a message almost instantly. It seemed that he had been waiting in front of the computer.
[Indifferent: Hello, I am the contracted editor of Xiantian Literature Press. You are the editor of Touching Gold: The author of Ghost Blows Out the Light and Grave Robber's Chronicles?
"Yes, it's me. Hello."”
Cold and Ruthless sent a smiley face.
Then, he replied," Langzi and I recommended these two works of yours. We have passed the review and confirmed that these two works of yours are suitable for publication. May I ask if you have any intention of publishing them? Do you have the copyright to the Traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese versions of the novel?”
It was a smiley face again. Lin Yi was annoyed by smiley faces. However, the people in this world seemed to be quite fond of smiley faces. Prodigal sons liked to send smiley faces.
Lin Yi helplessly replied with a smiley face and said," Yes, other than the film and television copyright, both traditional and simplified Chinese are here. Do you want both?”
Lin Yi had kept the film copyright for himself. When he signed the contract with Langzi previously, he said that he had an acquaintance at Wansheng Film and Television and had already reserved it. It was pure nonsense. What acquaintance did he have? He was just waiting for his value to rise.
When the works came to life, they could earn money from IP. The film and television copyrights of these two books were astronomical.
Looking at how popular the online dramas and movies of the two books, Gold Raker and Grave Robber, were, the value they created was unimaginable. How could Lin Yi casually give half of it to the website? Was his brain kicked by a donkey?
Fortunately, this world didn't pay much attention to the film and television copyrights of web novels. When signing contracts, they only paid attention to electronic copyrights. The other copyrights were very casual.
Coldly replied," Yes, our Xian Tian Xia Literature Press is the best in the industry in both simplified and traditional publishing channels. We are planning to sign both traditional and simplified versions of Grave Robber's Chronicles.”
Lin Yi touched his chin, then opened his browser to search for Xian Tian Xia Literature Press. He looked at the company information of this publishing firm and found that it was indeed as the editor had said. Xian Tian Xia Literature Press was not bad. Their simplified and traditional channels were the best in the industry. Many traditional literature writers wanted to work with them, but they were not interested.
As for those who wrote online literature, who didn't have the dream of publishing? To be able to publish their own novels at Xiantian Literature Press was something to celebrate.
The website would also hang a banner on the homepage of the website to announce the news. It would also give subsidies and rewards to the authors. It could be seen that the strength of this publishing firm and the importance this world attached to the development of entertainment literature.
After closing the search page, Lin Yi replied,"Alright, I have no problem with that. But how do you calculate the royalties?”
Cold and Ruthless sent another smiley face emoji and continued,"The publishing process is different from the online publishing process. We publish it according to the number of words. It's 65,000 words per episode, and we'll give you 6,500 yuan per episode.”
Lin Yi frowned." 6,500 yuan per episode?”
Wasn't this just a hundred yuan per thousand words?
Cold and Ruthless hurriedly replied," Because you're a newcomer. Even though we're very optimistic about your two works, we can only give a newcomer a price. Moreover, this price is the highest among the newcomers.”
Lin Yi thought for a moment and chuckled." Since that's the case, let's publish one first. Light Blows Out Ghost, I'll publish Grave Robber's Chronicles when I'm famous.”
His cold and heartless brain instantly shut down. It seemed like this operation was right!
