Chapter 25: Test the water strength, grasp it with both hands

Putting down the phone, Du Ranqi murmured, "Dad..."

That figure was once stalwart, strong and powerful, as if standing upright, capable of pulling mountains.

As she grew up, gradually, that figure became ordinary, but still warm, exuding a reassuring smell, making people want to hug and draw strength from that ordinary body.

The figure is still changing, getting old, hunched, and staggering. It is this old body, but it is beyond self-control, and wants to continue to shield the family from the wind and rain...

Du Ruiqi had a sour nose, buried his head in the quilt, and took a deep breath.

"dad……"

If it is said that my mother used to love my second brother the most.

Then my father's favorite is undoubtedly the youngest daughter in the family, Miss Du Sanqi.

Du Yanqi remembered that his favorite place to stay when he was a child was on his father's shoulder. Whenever I get a chance, I sit on my dad's shoulder, grab my dad's hair, enjoy the view from above, and let out a series of laughter happily.

When Dad was sitting there preparing lessons or trying to compose music, the eldest and second brothers did not dare to disturb them. They had all learned their lesson and had their butts swollen many times. He often sneaks past and climbs up and down on Dad. Sometimes even my mother can't see it, but my father smiles helplessly, pampers his eyes, and puts down his business to play with himself.

When my father was almost fifty years old, Miss Du San was born. When Du Ruoqi was in his 10s, his father was about to retire, and his career was not so important at that time. Every weekend, and during the winter and summer vacations, her father would take her to play everywhere, the famous attractions in the city, the playground facilities, and the places of interest in the surrounding areas of the magic city, all of which took her to play.

Many of these came to my heart together, making Du Qiqi's heart cramp.

At that time it was only normal, but now, it is no longer available...

That night, tears wet the pillow towel.

the next day.

After work, in the staff locker room, Du Ruoqi suddenly said, "My second brother has started to write songs again. I listened to them, and several songs are very good."

Xie Jinyu showed a happy smile, "He really cheered up! I hope you can get along well in the future."

Then she rubbed her hands and asked a little embarrassedly, "Then, does he have any songs suitable for girls to sing? You know, my cousin has always wanted a good song to make her official debut."

Du Ruoqi tilted his cute little head and thought, "The songs I listened to are not suitable for girls to sing. I'll go back and ask. If there is something suitable for girls to sing, I will mention it to him."

Xie Jinyu folded her hands together and bowed naively: "Then please, my sister has been reading for a long time. Don't worry, my uncle and aunt's family has money, and you will never let your second brother suffer, your intermediary. The fee will not be forgotten."

Hearing the "intermediary fee", Du Rongqi's heart immediately thumped, but she was a little embarrassed: "I don't need to give money for a trivial matter. I'll ask my brother to give it to her."

Xie Jinyu quickly stretched out her hand, poked Du Rongqi between the eyebrows, and said with hatred, "You, it's yours, why are you so shy? A classic song can bring in tens of millions of dollars in revenue, even in the Billion, your brother dares to give it for nothing, but my sister doesn’t dare to take it for nothing!”

After a pause, he added, "Specifically, let's discuss it later. Go ahead and ask if there are any songs suitable for girls to sing. Do you have the audio of my sister's singing in your phone? Let your brother listen to it. So that I can choose a suitable song according to my cousin's tone."

"Okay, I'll ask when I go back." Du Yanqi nodded heavily.

There was a look of joy on her face. If the deal was successful, she would have the money to keep her mother in the nursing home for treatment.

...

When Du Caige was uploading a new chapter, he saw the site short and reminded him that "Zhu Xian" will be recommended by the website category starting tomorrow.

Du Caige took a screenshot and sent it to the "Chuangshi Chinese Internet Cafe" on Bailing Tieba, asking: "Mengxin is writing a book for the first time, and this recommendation is here. How is the effect of this recommendation?"

There will be a reply soon.

"Jealousy separates my wallpaper."

"I've written five books and never got this recommendation."

"The new book will get a strong score after testing the water. This is the rhythm of taking off!"

"The landlord has already taken off. I've seen "Zhu Xian", and it's very beautiful. The landlord is definitely not a newcomer, and the writing is very old."

"Same as above, I have also read "Zhu Xian" and I like this book very much. Come on, landlord, don't be a eunuch, I will support you when you put it on the shelves."

"It turns out that "Zhu Xian" was also written by a friend? Come on, I'll go and reward a leader."

"Emm, it is generally a newcomer with great potential in the eyes of the great writers and editors, who can get a strong score when testing the water push. Be cautious and optimistic about the landlord, collect it first, raise it for a while and then kill it."

It is not difficult to see that the recommendation position that I have obtained is very good. Du Caige closed the post bar, browsed the book reviews for a while, and looked at the results.

It is definitely unrealistic to want to get millions of dollars to repay the money immediately.

But if this book is really popular, it may bring itself hundreds of thousands of income every month after it is on the shelves.

And once you become famous, you can try to write physical books. There are many classic novels in your mind, some of which are both elegant and popular, some can compete for literary awards, and some have long dominated the bestseller list...

The reason why I don't carry it now is because I am not famous now, and I can only get the royalties from the newcomers, which is a waste of such a good book.

And in Azure Star, the top online writers earn as much as the top brick-and-mortar writers.

On Earth, the world's top brick-and-mortar best-selling authors are paid by a wide margin compared to the top online authors.

Top brick-and-mortar bestselling authors, JK Rowling (raise your hand if you haven't seen Harry Potter), RR George Martin (who hasn't seen Game of Thrones?), Stephen King, author of Twilight Stephanie Meyer, Susan Collins, who wrote "The Hunger Games," earns far more than a web writer.

Silkworm Potatoes are the gods of the Internet, right? It is said that when he wrote Dou Po, he earned more than 10 million RMB per year, which is considered the top of the pyramid in the online literature industry.

But what is he going to do with JK Rowling's annual income of 20 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 130 million soft sister coins?

However, in Azure Star, because of the great attention paid to protecting copyrights, the crackdown on piracy is very strong, and the income level of the network writer group is significantly higher than that of the same period on earth.

Top online writers can currently earn 30 million to 40 million U.S. dollars a year. Since the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and U.S. dollars is not much different, the income gap with top-notch best-selling authors is also much smaller.

That's why Du Caige chose to move online novels first, and then move to the real world after becoming famous.

Of course, in the end, he will definitely be based in both the online and physical publishing fields, and he must grasp both hands and be hard on both hands.
