Mastering entertainment: starting with identification

Chapter 76

Xiao Shuo drank half of the water in his hand, put the cup aside, and continued to look at the computer screen. Even though it was getting late, he still had no intention of leaving.

At least so far, Xiao Shuo's eyes have always been attracted by this novel.

The passionate sports novel is never a story about one person. Yingmu Huadao's teammates are gathering, and other protagonists of the basketball team are also constantly displayed in Zhang Qinghuan's pen and ink.

The conflict between Mitsui and Miyagi, the stories of several characters were unfolded in this way, and finally ended in the coach I wanted to play basketball.

The ear-piercing sound of broken glass appeared in the office. Xiao Shuo covered his head with a pained expression on his face, and muttered in his mouth: "This guy is so crazy, he... actually broke here, it's too much."

All the great characters of "The Master of Blue" have arrived, but their story of competing in the competition has not yet begun. In the first part, Zhang Qinghuan happened to be stuck in the classic scene of Mitsui, the most popular character in his previous life, and ended with the coach I want to play basketball , there is no follow-up, and it can whet people's appetite if you think about it.

And the first victim is Xiao Shuo, the editor of the sports fiction department. People's curiosity is above all else, and this feeling of wanting to stop is fully reflected in Xiao Shuo.

After a while, he managed to force these images out of his mind.He didn't listen to the subsequent imagination for a second, and in the end he defeated his fantasy.

At this moment, he has fully believed that this novel will show the brilliance of sports novels in this era, and lead sports novels back to the peak. At that time, countless writers will rush to invest in this category of novels It is not impossible for him to reproduce his glory at that time.

As an editor of a publishing house, Xiao Shuo's reading speed can be said to be as fast as one glance and ten lines, but this novel of [-] words took him several hours, and he saw that the time on his watch had reached eight o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Shuo thought this book was too important, so he immediately left his place, took the printed first volume of "Slam Dunk", and found the editor-in-chief who was still in the independent office.

"Editor-in-Chief, take this book home and have a look. I'll go first, and I'll discuss it with you tomorrow." It was getting late, and Xiao Shuo saw that the other party was also packing up, so it was not good for the other party to stay and read, so he could only Shove all the typed drafts in your hand to the editor-in-chief in front of you, and ask him to go back and read them.

"Xiao Xiao! It's been a long time since I saw you come to my office. The book that can make you so excited must be good! I'll go back and take a good look." The editor-in-chief said.

Walking outside the door, Xiao Shuo's cell phone rang, and the screen displayed a call from his wife.

Xiao Shuo slapped his head, anxious, and quickly connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, the other party's voice came over. "My surname is Xiao, you haven't come home so late, three or four hours later than usual, don't you want to mess around, or are you doing something outside!!!"

Xiao Shuo was sweating, and suddenly remembered that he was doing serious business, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm just working overtime."

"You haven't worked overtime at that job for half a year. Today you told me you worked overtime? Come back!"

"Yes." Xiao Shuo quickly cleaned the broken glass in the office, and drove to the house quickly.

……

The editor-in-chief returned home, took the stack of papers and looked at it.He used to be a colleague in the same office as Xiao Shuo, and they were both editors of sports novels at the time, but later, after the downturn in sports novels, he devoted himself to magic immortal cultivation, left that office, and slowly became editor.

Seeing that Xiao Shuo gave himself a manuscript so enthusiastically, he believed that Xiao Shuo must be very satisfied with this manuscript and wanted to make great achievements, so he also looked at it seriously. The relationship is not bad, if you can help now, you can help, not to mention that this book has achieved results, and it also has its own achievements.

When the editor-in-chief saw the end, his expression was very angry, and a stack of papers was scratched and crumpled.

He also put on a mask of pain, obviously sad that there would be no follow-up.

After all, he is the editor-in-chief of Lei, and he has a good perception of the article. He also believes that this book will have the qualifications to become a hit.

……

The next day
The two gathered in the office again to discuss countermeasures.

"Editor-in-Chief, how many copies of this book can I give you? I think this book will be a big hit," Xiao Shuo said.

"I think so, but this era is not the era of sports sales after all. It will definitely not reach the highest level. Tens of thousands of copies should be enough." The editor-in-chief also thinks this book is very good, but as the editor-in-chief, he cannot do it casually. Give a number, the number given must be down-to-earth, otherwise one's position may be shifted.

Xiao Shuo understood the other party's meaning and also understood the other party's concerns. He gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred thousand copies, I will guarantee it."

The editor-in-chief glanced at Xiao Shuo: "Do you really want to guarantee? If you fail, you may lose your job for more than ten years."

"Well, I'm sure."

"Okay, then I'll help you arrange this matter."

Xiao Shuo's legs trembled when he returned to his seat. He believed in this work, but at the same time he was a little unconfident. There are only a few people in a huge classification department. It is unknown whether sports novels can still be brilliant.

Xiao Shuo quickly edited a message and replied to Zhang Qinghuan: "I have received your manuscript and I like it very much. I can give you a first printing of [-] copies. If you agree, we can negotiate a contract. The problem."

……

Zhang Qinghuan was still typing in front of the computer, and the sound of the green axis clicking kept coming out.

An email popped up, it was a reply email.

Zhang Qinghuan happily clicked in, and after reading it, his face showed joy.The number given by the other party was beyond his imagination. He believed in his own book, but he had also checked the market, and this kind of novel was really not good.

Even if the other party is very optimistic about his book, tens of thousands of copies will be enough, and now he is very satisfied with the number of [-] copies.

Replied: "Okay, here is my contact information."

The two added Xunweihao and chatted.

"As for the share, we can give 5% here. After all, you are just a newcomer with no qualifications. We need a lot of publicity."

Xiao Shuo gave [-]% of the share, which is the normal share for newcomers. Zhang Qinghuan has nothing to dissatisfy.

"I agree, but please don't reveal my personal information."

Xiao Shuo was a little puzzled. As a newcomer, you still need to be afraid of revealing your identity, but this kind of request is normal, and there is no reason not to agree.

With Xiao Shuo's guarantee, after signing the contract with the two, the printing of "Slam Dunk" began.
