Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 205: Square Dance in April

Sunflower Publishing House mainly produces children's books.

In fact, after recommending Yu Ruonan to Sun Peng, Zheng Ye later cared about picture books and even wanted to help Sun Peng publish this set of picture books. Although the printing cost of a set of ten picture books is very high, and martial arts novel writers are so unreliable when they make children’s picture books, Sun Peng is after all the biggest author under his hand, and Zheng Ye has no reason not to take it. Win over.

But Zheng Ye was willing, but Sun Peng declined.

The scale of Shuxiang Publishing House is indeed very large, and its distribution capacity is proportional to its scale, but after all, it is not a professional children's book, and there is no inherent advantage. And for Sun Peng, the biggest problem is that he is unwilling to put eggs in a basket, especially when there is such a big difference between martial arts novels and children's picture books.

Will there be a sales bonus if the book is published?

What he is afraid of is that Zheng Ye, who is the author of the key promotional book for sales, will send it to the dealer at that time, and put it on the shelves under the titles of the latest works of the author of Shooting Eagle, Xiaoao, and Shendiao, and then old readers opened their eyes and took a look , A thick stack of children’s picture books with cute covers...

The hard-won reputation, Sun Peng decided to cherish it.

So after making a call to Chen Ruoyi and confirming again that the remaining two books could definitely be completed on April 20th, Sun Peng and the editor of Sunflower Publishing had an appointment to meet on the 25th, and they would bring a full set of ten. Ben gave it to the other party for review, and then started a hard typing life...

The weather in Beijing became warmer every day.

Shuxiang Chinese.com's contribution fee for March was quickly paid, totaling more than two million yuan, and Sun Peng was quite satisfied with the figure. The manuscript fees of the old book Swordsman and the Condor Heroes continue to stabilize, and the online subscription is still slowly declining due to the physical books, but there are still five or six hundred thousand, but the nine sun magic and the great shift of the universe have appeared, and The magnificent Battle of Guangmingding, Yitian Tulong Ji, had a burst of manuscript fees in March, a sudden increase of 60% from February!

So in the following April, Sun Peng expressed his expectation, just as he expects physical sales to explode one day in the future.

Yes, in Sun Peng's view, the sales of several novels have been flat.

Although it is still on the sales rankings of Goku.com, the three sets of martial arts novels have lost the scenery they had when they first appeared on the shelves last year. The total number of copies of the three sets of books has a minimum of 1 million copies, but the purchase tide of online readers has passed, and the potential of fans of physical chivalrous novels has also been exhausted. Now it is relying on newly joined online fans and reading word of mouth. The new passers-by who came in supported the sales.

In this era of fierce competition, it is not easy to break out again.

After all, chivalrous novels belong to a declining category, and the concept of martial arts novels has not been widely accepted except for online readers. Therefore, unless the book publishing house invests heavily in propaganda, or there are martial arts movies, TV series or animations and other adaptations. Push, otherwise Sun Peng can't think of a good way.

Fortunately, the word-of-mouth of the three sets of books is overwhelming, so although the sales are gradually falling, they have always maintained the appearance of the top 30 or 40 in the rankings. Of course, Sun Peng doesn’t care about the rankings at all. His only criterion for sales is whether to print. Zheng Ye hasn’t talked about adding prints for two or three months. This is really a bit for Sun Peng. Not used to it!

If other writers knew what he was thinking, they might secretly throw a stone on the glass of his house!

Hey, we have been in the physical world for ten or twenty years. Let alone sell 1 million sets a year, if you have 200,000 sets, you will be happy like the New Year. You just entered the business for more than a year. My little kid is not used to the days without reprinting? And it was just a few years ago when millions of copies were printed in one go? It's just death...

...

"...Dapeng, have you finished writing today's new chapter?"

As soon as he entered the gate of Sun's old house after get off work, Zheng Jia asked in a hurry with excitement: "Did they get out of Wei Wuya's trap? How did they get out of trouble?"

"Uh... on the computer desktop, see for yourself."

Sun Peng, who was resting on the sofa, rolled his eyelids and pointed at his notebook.

Since occasionally seeing Sun Peng writing a new novel in the first two days, Zheng Jia started to dine with her boyfriend every day after get off work, because Sun Peng firmly opposed sending her the electronic manuscript for normal reasons-this novel In the future, it will be released in conjunction with the cartoon, so you can just read it yourself, but you must never take the manuscript away, otherwise your brother and your dad will see it.

After playing a few times, Zheng Jia had no choice but to come to her boyfriend's house every day to check in.

However, Zheng Jia scoffed at Sun Peng’s remarks, and could even say that he was deeply suspicious of his motives. In addition to Zheng Jia’s deep confidence in his character, it was also because this guy could write two to three thousand characters a day, every time It was past eight o'clock after she finished reading, and during this period Sun Peng always came to harass him countless times, and every time he was thicker than once...

...

"Oh, don't make trouble!"

After patting Sun Peng's strange hands again, Zheng Jia first gave him a glance, and then closed the notebook.

Zheng Jia looked sideways and recollected the chapter he just read, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled: "Hehe, this Xuanyuan Sanguang is really interesting. If you win money, you only need to knock your head, but if you lose money, you have to give real money. In order for people to bet with him... But I still found that the purple-clothed young woman was more handsome, and she didn't blink her eyes after so many losses... Who are they?

Like most readers, Zheng Jia hates broken dogs!

But Sun Peng, who expects his girlfriend to come over at night every day, of course refuses to disclose, he just shook his head blindly and smiled: "Well...you will know if you come to see it tomorrow night?"

Knowing that her boyfriend would not say it, Zheng Jia pouted angrily.

However, in a short time, Zheng Jia turned his attention back to the book he was reading just now: "Dapeng, I found that you seem to be good at writing bad guys. Most of the top ten bad guys are so funny. The new Xuanyuan Sanguang is also so funny, it makes people unable to really hate them, that is, Xiao Mimi is a bit disgusting."

Perseveringly stretched out his hands again, but this time Sun Peng just hugged his girlfriend's waist, his eyes glared and said: "What makes me good at writing bad guys? What's wrong with my good writing?"

"Cut, how many good people have you written about?"

Taking a look at her boyfriend, Zheng Jia's pretty appearance made Sun Peng stretch out his sinful hands again...

But what is said is correct, there are not many really nice people in Jin Da's pen.

Or in other words, to measure the characters in the book by modern standards, there are certainly not many good people. For example, the hero Guo Jing and the nine-finger beggar Hong Qigong, these two people are honest and honest, especially the words Hong Qigong said to Ouyang Feng are even more admirable. But it was these two people, one married Huang Rong and recognized Huang Yaoshi as his father-in-law; the other took Huang Rong as an apprentice, and Huang Yaoshi was also an old friend...

Are the two Huang surnames good people?

From Sun Peng's point of view, it certainly doesn't count, but it's not annoying.

So at least from the perspective of "making friends with bandits", Xiao Guo and Lao Hong are also problematic. Of course, it is more painful to measure the characters in novels according to the moral standards of modern people. At least Sun Peng thinks that such novels look much more interesting and more real, compared to those with facial features and clear distinction between good and evil. Also much stronger.

but……

When he thinks that he will probably "transform" to write about ancient genres when he looks back. Those poor novels are full of conspiracy and betrayal, and there are few good people. Sun Peng feels that having a police girlfriend with a sense of justice around him is quite good. The headache...

...

"Tsk tusk, the weather is really warm!"

On the way to send his girlfriend home, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the crowd on the road.

The temperature in the capital has risen in late April, so everyone no longer stays at home at night, but walks out one after another to shop and eat. Of course, the aunts' square dance is also active again. Sometimes Sun Peng had to marvel at the similarity between the two worlds. The square dance that everyone loves to see on earth is also in full swing here. It takes only 20 minutes to walk from Sun Peng’s house to Zheng Jia, but there are at least four or five waves along the way. !

"Dapeng, let's travel for a while, right?"

As he walked, Zheng Jia suddenly raised his head and asked.

"travel?"

Hearing this suggestion, Sun Peng lifted his spirits and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, but when do you have a holiday? Where do you want to go?"

Except for occasional trips to the suburbs, Sun Peng hasn't gone out to play after passing through.

and……

Gee, this is a legendary couple's trip!

If you are going to a place far away... it's best to go abroad to play. It's not like going to the suburbs to ski, go to the hot springs and so on, and go back tomorrow, at least ten days and eight days, right? In summer, abroad, it is said that many girls will be more enthusiastic at this time than in China...

With his eyes rolling around, Sun Peng's heart instantly became hot.

"Hehe, I haven't thought about it yet..."

After blinking his eyes, Zheng Jia just said something with a smile, and suddenly he looked up with a surprised look and looked not far ahead: "Dapeng, listen quickly!"

"Huh? Listen to what?"

Sun Peng asked with a blank expression on his own mind.

"Oh, you listen to their music!"

Hurriedly took Sun Peng and walked a few steps, Zheng Jia pointed to the wave of square dancers in front and said.

"Plaza dance music?"

At this time, Sun Peng came back to his senses, and then he listened carefully, and suddenly he felt a word in his heart!

...

You are my little apple

I don't love you too much

The red face warms my heart

Light up the fire of my life

Fire, fire, fire, fire

...

what happened?

Looking at the aunts who are not far away, who are jumping to the music, but who are not very proficient in their movements, turn around and look at the surprised girlfriends. The expression on Sun Peng's face suddenly becomes very exciting: Xiao Apple, little apple, have you finally rushed into this world and marched into the field of square dance?
