Chapter 18: Just not counting
Can this book catch fire? It is difficult to judge Zhongyi for the time being. After all, she is a human being, not a god. Can't see that far.
But she can be sure that if the book doesn't collapse later, it should do well.
The author's writing power is strong, and the narration is eloquent, which can pull people's heartstrings.
Just looking at this beginning, it really makes people want to make a big splash, good wine and good text.
Of course, I have seen a lot of novels that were amazing at the beginning, and then collapsed as I wrote them later, and I felt sorry for them every time.
After the author signs the contract, he should communicate well with him, lest he go astray.
I looked at the author's pseudonym, "Hemingway", what a strange name.
Is the sea very powerful? Although I don't understand its meaning, I still keep it firmly in mind.
I want to look at the real information again, but I find that the author has not filled it in yet.
Sign up first, and you will know when the contract is signed.
...
"Hey, it's signed!" Early in the morning, he copied 10,000 words, and when he was about to upload a new chapter, Du Caige found a short notice.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, a little happy.
After all, although he felt that it was impossible for "Zhu Xian" to be unable to sign a contract, it was still not certain until it was implemented.
At this moment, a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
He carefully read the station short, followed the prompts and added the LL number of the "favored" communication software.
"LL" is the abbreviation of "Chat", it is an instant messaging software, which is equivalent to the QQ of Azure Star.
After sending the add request, Du Caige was thinking about how to open the line, and soon the other party's cute anime girl's avatar flashed.
After clicking on it, the editor Zhongyi sent a brief message: "Hemingway? The author of "Zhu Xian"?"
"It's me." Du Caige replied quickly, and then changed his LL nickname to "Hemingway".
"Good book. Did you write it yourself?"
"Yes."
"Have you published it on another website before?"
"No."
"Do you own the full copyright of "Zhu Xian"?"
"some."
...
After a few questions, the other party sent a document saying: "Fill in the contract according to the format, print it out after filling it out, and sign according to the template. Then print two copies of the front and back of the ID card and mail them together. The address is ### The recipient fills in Bruce Lee."
Du Caige still maintains a three-point freshness to this process.
If it was an old rusher, it is estimated that he would have been impatient.
After accepting the documents, he filled them out as required, found a copy of the U disk, brought his ID card, and was ready to go out to print and mail it.
All the way, the contract was printed and sent smoothly.
On the way back, Du Caige bought a few newspapers and a copy of "Movie Weekly". After he became a director, he almost never read a physical newspaper, which is actually quite fresh.
Back at home, Du Caige saw Du Rongqi at the dining table, sleepily eating bread and drinking milk, as if he was still awake.
"What are you doing..." Du Yanqi quickly covered his mouth and waved his hand just after saying a few words.
Then he put down the bread, took out his mobile phone, and quickly typed: "It didn't count just now!"
"Okay, okay, it didn't count just now." Du Caige couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't laugh!!!!!!!!!" As if venting, Du Rongqi pressed the keyboard of the phone viciously and typed a dozen exclamation marks.
Du Caige said with a sullen face on purpose: "I have been professionally trained, no matter how funny it is, I will never laugh unless I can't help it."
"Puchi!" Du Ruqi was amused, the little girl's smile was so amazing, to use a vulgar description: like flowers blooming.
After a while, Du Rongqi rubbed his stomach,
Continue typing: "Why did you go early in the morning?"
"There's something." Du Caige put "Movie Weekly" on Du Ranqi's left, and then looked down at the newspaper he just bought.
After the meeting, when he looked up, Du Rongqi had finished his breakfast and was watching "Movie Weekly" attentively.
Du Caige smiled and continued to look down at the newspaper.
All day, Du Rongqi didn't know what to do in the room, maybe he was doing his homework, anyway, Du Caige didn't bother.
At lunch, Du Caige wanted to take Du Qiqi out to eat, but Du Qiqi refused to go. So he went to have a light meal by himself and packed a bag for Du Qiqi.
In the evening, Du Ranqi ran out to play before dinner, and came back before 9 o'clock as usual.
Calm day.
The next few days were uneventful.
Du Caige didn't worry about the results of "Zhu Xian". He didn't read book reviews, recommendation tickets, etc. He believed that this book would not be buried anyway.
On January 12, when Du Caige uploaded the updated chapter, he found that the station was short, and "Zhu Xian" officially changed the contract status and became an A-signed work.
Du Caige just went to look at the results of the book, and now he has uploaded it to the seventh chapter, more than 30,000 words. Now there are more than 1,200 recommended votes, more than 170 comments, and the collection has reached 415.
Du Caige glanced at the comment area. The book reviews basically said that they were good-looking, and they also discussed the plot. As expected, there were no bad reviews.
Judging from this trend, it will indeed become popular, which makes him let go of most of his worries.
Next, copy the book step by step every day, wait for the recommendation, put it on the shelves, and wait for the rice collection. At most, you need to worry about selling copyrights.
In the following days, in addition to code words, Du Caige is trying to make up for the history, customs, laws, recent international trends of Azure Star, and even famous artists and masterpieces in movies and literature...
Du Yanqi is a very worry-free girl. In addition to going out every night for a while, the rest of the time is home studying or watching TV.
However, there is still no topic between Du Caige and this well-behaved daughter. Except when Du Yanqi asked him for money, the two hardly communicated.
Du Ruoqi still refused to speak, and occasionally forgot, he said a half sentence, and immediately typed "it didn't count".
I don't know what kind of grudge she has with the original owner.
Soon it was January 15th, Du Caige looked at the calendar, and in a few days it would be the Spring Festival.
He sat calmly in front of the computer and began to code.
I just finished copying 5,000 words, and I was about to take a break. When I moved my wrist, there was a vibration from the mobile phone on the table.
Du Caige picked up the phone and looked at it. The caller ID only had one word: "Spring".
This kind of remark makes it impossible to guess the identity of the other party.
Another test after he crossed over was about to begin.
Du Caige took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and said in a natural voice as much as possible: "Hello, I'm Du Caige."
It took a few seconds for the opposite side to speak, "Listening to your voice, you should be in a good mood."
This person's voice is not particularly young, it should be a woman in her 40s or 50s, her tone is delicate and gentle, the speed of speech is slow, and she is full of intelligence and maturity.
Du Caige quickly turned his head: Who is this? Is it a relative or friend? Otherwise, you won't care about your emotions. Judging from the age of the other party, it should not be the mother of the original owner.
Du Caige didn't let himself go, he followed the other party's words: "Well, it's okay."
"Quan" said softly, "After the last consultation, you said you wanted to take a week off. Then tomorrow is our consultation time. Do you want to come back to the consultation?"
