Chapter 153 Negotiations Break Down

"Big and small blood-eyed maned lions, powerful purple-eyed golden-haired apes, the nine-headed snake king that destroys the world, the terrifying thunder dragon that carries destructive lightning... There is nothing strange here, this is a vast magical world. The strong can stand on the head of the black dragon and travel in the sky, and the terrifying magic can burn rivers, destroy cities, and flatten mountains..."

When Luoyang wrote the introduction of "Panlong", he felt an extremely intimate and familiar feeling in his heart.

Luoyang's first contact with online novels in his previous life was when he was in junior high school. The first novel he read at that time was called "Cun Mang", which was a work by I Eat Tomatoes. It was a long online article with "Xiao Li Feidao" as the theme. Since then, he fell into the pit of online novels and never climbed out.

And the first work he followed in his life was this "Panlong" by I Eat Tomatoes!

Once this work was released, it set many records. The click list and recommendation list have always occupied the first place in Baidu search index. The most terrifying time was when Xiao Shenyang became popular. The search popularity of "Panlong" surpassed the keyword "Xiao Shenyang" and occupied the first place.

Luoyang's memory is full of the glorious history of this new book. After the oriental fantasy "Wushuang", Luoyang plans to continue his journey with the western fantasy work "Panlong".

In fact, during the two months of traveling this time, Luoyang considered many works in his mind, and finally chose this work, because the world view of this work is more grand than his own "Wushuang", and the level system is more complete and clear. It has deeply grasped the essence of the upgrade text, and the rhythm is even more masterful. It can definitely be a good successor to "Wushuang".

It can be said that half of Luoyang's ability to become an online writer is attributed to this "Panlong".

As for other types of novels, Luoyang actually considered it, but a person's energy is limited after all. He plans to complete the work "Panlong" first, and then slowly consider those classic works that have created one school after another.

So in the next few days, Luoyang began a regular life of writing, and he could save about 30,000 words of manuscripts every day.

And on Saturday, Luoyang received a message from Xiaoyuan: "Bai Da, our new editor-in-chief wants to discuss the contract with you in person."

————————

"New" editor-in-chief - to be honest, Luoyang thinks that the new word Xiaoyuan is a bit intriguing.

He still vaguely remembered that the editor-in-chief of Xingchen Novel Network was called Xiang Tao, a guy who was very good at doing things. He signed his contract with him at the beginning. Unexpectedly, the editor-in-chief of Xingchen Novel Network has been replaced in the blink of an eye. I don't know where the editor-in-chief will go.

Well, this is not a problem I should care about.

On Saturday, Luoyang came to the Blue Sea Coffee Shop with his new assistant Hua Qi and the big bodyguard Long Wanchun.

A young man stood up and said with a smile: "Bai Yi Qingcheng, hello, I am Yao Yichen, the new editor-in-chief of Xingchen Novel Network."

"Hello." Luoyang greeted with a smile. The age of this new editor-in-chief Yao Yichen was similar to his predecessor Xiang Tao, which made Luoyang feel interesting. Are all the editors-in-chief of the online literature industry so young now?

In fact, Yao Yichen was also a little puzzled. For some reason, he always felt that Luoyang looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

In addition, seeing that Luoyang was accompanied by assistants and bodyguards, Yao Yichen was a little surprised. He felt that Luoyang's identity should be more than just a college student. However, the most important thing today was to discuss the contract, so he didn't think too much about it.

After greeting, he said straight to the point: "Bai Da, I believe you also know that we acquired Xingchen.com at midnight. Now there is a lot of work to be done. For a supreme god like you, we must carefully sign a new contract."

"Sure, let's take a look at the contract first." Luoyang said with a smile.

Yao Yichen waved his hand, and the assistant behind him immediately handed over the contract and placed it on the table.

Luoyang didn't read it, he couldn't understand such a thick contract, but Hua Qi opened the contract and read it carefully.

While Hua Qi was reading the contract, Yao Yichen ordered two cups of coffee, and then said: "Bai Da, I wonder how you are preparing for your new book?"

Luoyang smiled and replied: "I have saved a manuscript of nearly 200,000 words."

"Bai Da is really hardworking." Yao Yichen praised, and then changed the subject: "Bai Da, you are still planning to write an oriental fantasy for the new book, right?"

"Oriental fantasy?" Luoyang smiled and shook his head: "I don't like to repeat myself, I won't write the same type twice, the new book is a western fantasy type, a story completely different from "Wushuang"."

Yao Yichen's brows were almost frowned. He frowned and said, "Western fantasy, Bai Da, you should know that this type of writing has almost no market in Longguo. Now fantasy is the hottest, why do you abandon what you are best at and write fantasy..."

Luoyang explained, "The category is not important. This story is just a fantasy story. The core of the story is still about upgrading and passion."

Yao Yichen shook his head and said, "Fantasy... This category is so unpopular that it is almost abandoned. There have been examples of great authors who have failed miserably in the fantasy category..."

Luoyang smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Hua Qi raised his head and looked at Luoyang: "Boss, I have read the contract. In this contract, the profit points have all dropped slightly."

Luoyang raised his head and glanced at Yao Yichen, motioning Hua Qi to continue.

Hua Qi continued: "During the serialization of "Wushuang", it brought huge benefits to Xingchen Novel Network. I will not report the specific values ​​one by one. We did not increase the price, so this contract is somewhat inappropriate. In addition, The contract stipulates that Bai Da must create more than five works on Xingchen Novel Network, which is a bit harsh. "

Yao Yichen smiled and said: "Actually, Bai Da, after we acquired Xingchen Novel Network at Zero Point, we comprehensively expanded all major channels, which means that our reader base will become larger in the future, so in general Bai Da is still making money. ”

"Besides, this book with more than five books must not be considered difficult at Bai Da's age."

Luoyang shook his head and said: "Editor-in-Chief, that's not what you said. First of all, it's the contract. I don't mean to say anything. I just want my treatment not to get worse as I get worse. In addition, the binding of five books is too difficult. Wouldn’t it be nice to write a book and sign a book?”

Yao Yichen frowned, then suddenly smiled: "As for the contract, it's okay to talk slowly, but we have broadened our channels, and we have to collect some profits. For the other five works, this is the number set by the CEO of our website. He also cherishes his talent."

"If you really cherish your talents, you won't play any tying game." Luoyang said with a smile: "The share of the contract will remain unchanged, and I can guarantee that my books will only become more and more exciting. As for whether I must be in Xingchen Novel It’s hard to agree to the fact that I have written five books on the Internet. Nothing in this world is so easy to solve once and for all.”

Although he didn't want to belittle himself, Luoyang knew very well that the power of "Coiling Dragon" was definitely stronger than "Wushuang".

Holding "Coiling Dragon" in his hand and signing a contract the same as "Wushuang", he is already kind. Xingchen Novel Network also tried to lower the price, which was too much, not to mention the bundling requirements of the five books. .

Yao Yichen's smile began to fade: "Bai Da, let me analyze this market for you first. Xingchen Novel Network was originally a dominant player. Now it has been acquired by us at zero points. The financial support has increased sharply. In addition, With the channels we have in hand to expand the future, we are definitely the number one giant in the online literature industry.”

"You are the Supreme God, and only our Xingchen Novel Network can match your status as the Supreme God, right?"

Luoyang laughed. Yao Yichen's words were interesting. It seemed that he was thinking about himself, but in fact he was clearly using the market to blackmail Luoyang into compromising.

This kind of threat made Luoyang a little unhappy, but he admitted that Xingchen Novel Network was indeed the dominant player in the market, so he said: "I can accept the contract, but let's put down the binding of the five books first. I don't want to Being tied to death, there is no freedom at all.”

Yao Yichen shook his head: "Bai Da, on the contrary, we can give up the contract, but you must cooperate with us in your next five works."

"must?"

"must."

"What if I say no?"

"Bai Da, you are boring. The current market..."

"Stop talking about the market with me." Luoyang waved his hand and said, "I don't have to sign with you."

"I think you need to think about it seriously." Yao Yichen said with a smile: "Except for Xingchen Novel Network, it is not suitable for you to go to any store. After all, there is only one store that you can count at a glance."

Yao Yichen was still smiling, but Luoyang had already understood that this Yao Yichen was not a simple person either. He killed people with a soft knife and was invisible. Although he looked easy to talk on the surface, he was actually very tough.

This conversation reminded me countless times that in the current online literary world, Xingchen Novel Network dominates the sky. Even though I have the aura of the supreme god, I can only choose their family.

So Luoyang gradually lost interest in being hypocritical, or he was not a person who liked to be threatened. He stood up and Luoyang said lightly: "Do you know why I became a writer?"

Yao Yichen was stunned: "Why?"

Luoyang smiled and said: "Because of freedom..."

After saying this, Luoyang left the coffee shop with Hua Qi and Long Wanchun.
