Chapter 38 Three Lottery Draws
Yi Shuihan's post about "The Human Chair" is not the first and will not be the last.
.
As time goes by, more and more discussion threads about this novel have sprung up.
˜Almost all users who open the academy and enter the mystery and suspense section on this day can see at a glance many hot posts with the four words "human chair" in the title!
That afternoon.
Many bookstore staff have noticed that this month's latest issue of "Mystery and Suspense" seems to be more popular than previous issues?
Of course this may be a coincidence.
The first of every month is the best time for these monthly magazines to sell.
But on the 2nd, there were still a large number of customers coming to buy "Mystery and Suspense", and the number of people was obviously more than yesterday. The major bookstores finally realized:
The quality of this magazine from Nathan Bookstore seems to be exploding this month?
It really exploded.
What is not explosive is not the "Mystery and Suspense Magazine" itself.
It is "The Human Chair" which was specially placed in the first chapter by Nathan Bookstore!
Not to mention ordinary readers, even some writers who are as good at reasoning and suspense as Yi Shuihan have to pay attention to this work that has aroused heated discussions in the circle just after it was released.
“Just finished reading The Human Chair.”
In a certain writer group, a writer with the pen name [Lang Mie] lamented: "I feel like a pervert even after reading it!"
“Hahahahaha!”
“Hahahahaha!”
“Hahahahaha!”
A group of writers in the group suddenly turned into repeaters and burst out laughing.
This scene is really funny. You must know that Lang Mie is one of the writers in Qinzhou who is best at horror and suspense themes. The mystery novels he writes may not be considered brilliant, but most of his works are full of tragic, **** and dark tones. , often describing the **** and decaying scenes of corpses in detail, causing many readers and even colleagues to call it "perverted" after reading it.
It is also because of this style that Lang Mie has many die-hard fans.
Thanks to Qin Zhou’s large scale, otherwise it would be difficult for his novels to be published.
However, even the pervert Lang Mie lamented the perversion of "The Human Chair", which shows how much of a psychological impact this novel has on readers.
Yi Shuihan happened to be in this group.
After seeing Wolf Kill, Aite immediately teased the other person: "This novel does not involve dark and **** elements such as murder, so why is it so abnormal?"
“He is a very special kind.”
Lang Mie replied: "My perversion is more straightforward, while his perversion is more subtle, deliberately giving readers strong psychological hints and allowing readers to have various perverted imaginations. This is a high-level perversion, a typical type of psychological fear. Novels are like some horror movies. There are obviously no ghosts and the shots are ordinary, but the style is demonic and weird, making your heart always in fear."
Writers in the group: “…”
Although Lang Mie called it abnormal, someone soon said: "The most brilliant thing about this novel is the multiple matryoshka structure. The reader becomes Jia Zi, and he himself becomes the letter writer. It is shocking but not nonsense."
This point has been recognized by everyone.
Readers read the story, but the author likes to analyze the author’s creative techniques.
The most commendable thing about the novel "The Human Chair" is its superb creative technique.
“It feels like Mr. Lang Mie has met a strong enemy.”
“The author Bu Yehou is actually a new writer. This is the most terrifying thing. Very few new writers’ debut novels can be so spiritual.”
“Like some old bird’s vest.”
"I just went to the bookstore to buy "Mystery and Suspense" and found that the sales are very popular. It seems to be the credit of Bu Yehou, but he is probably not an old bird. Why is such a good novel open to the public?"
“Then this guy is really a genius!”
“I have already started to look forward to his next work. Usually such writers who have just debuted are relatively prolific, and I should be able to see his new work soon.”
…
Nason Bookstore has a special staff to keep an eye on the academy, which can be considered as an observation of the readers' reading tastes. From time to time, they will dress up and pretend to be passers-by to promote books to real passers-by.
Sales of this issue of "Mystery and Suspense" have soared.
There has been a lot of discussion about "The Human Chair" in the academy.
The mystery and suspense department of Nathan Bookstore naturally paid close attention to the whole process. In the end, even the department editor and deputy editor were alarmed. This novel has a great influence!
“Everyone.”
The deputy editor entered the editorial office and said with a smile: "We have achieved great success in this issue of "Mystery and Suspense". I would like to commend editor Pan Yi."
Pap, pah, pah.
The editors applauded.
Pan Yi was the editor who discovered "The Human Chair". After reading it, he used his direct recommendation rights and put the work directly on the deputy editor's desk, so the novel was finally placed at the beginning of the magazine.
You must know that the editor’s right to direct recommendations is very precious.
Each editor is entitled to six direct recommendation quotas each year.
Only when an editor encounters a work that he thinks is very powerful, he will exercise the right to directly promote it and send it to the editor-in-chief leadership. Editors have various benefits when the work becomes popular, but the editor is responsible for the work becoming popular.
Obviously.
Pan Yi’s direct promotion was successful!
After the applause, the deputy editor-in-chief said directly: "Contact Never Night Hou to release the goodwill of Nathan Bookstore. The price of his next work can be increased appropriately. Pan Yi should be responsible for this."
"yes!"
The deputy editor added: "When Bu Yehou's new work is written, you can show it to me directly."
Bu Yehou is not an established writer yet.
This is usually a treatment reserved for established writers.
It can be seen that Nason Bookstore still attaches great importance to Bu Yehou, a new writer who has just debuted. And the other side.
Lin Zhibai certainly noticed the discussion of "The Human Chair" in the academy.
"abnormal?"
When seeing a bunch of people describing this novel in this way, even the author Fuyehou, Lin Zhibai didn't know whether to be happy or depressed for a moment. He could only say that the writing power of Teacher Edogawa Ranpo was as good as the chair maker. Such a perverted psychology, the depiction is too real!
Close the web page.
Lin Zhibai looked at his phone.
The share of song downloads from last month also came down today. It was more than Lin Zhibai imagined. After tax, he received over 3.6 million yuan.
Look again.
It turns out that Party A’s customization share of “Moonlight” was also distributed together.
Shinhwa pays great attention to efficiency in salary payment. Now, including Lin Zhibai's previous money, his personal savings are close to 7 million, which is a considerable amount.
You must know that Lin Zhibai is only seventeen years old.
Although Lin Zhibai was born in a plutocratic family and had no worries about food and drink since he was a child, he could basically just ask his family directly for anything he wanted to buy, so he had never had so much money on his hands.
Fortunately, my family is very open-minded.
The money Lin Zhibai has now is all earned by writing his own songs.
Of course his parents and family knew about the existence of this money, but they didn't care how Lin Zhibai spent it.
at this time.
Jiang Cheng called.
Lin Zhibai got through, and Jiang Cheng's voice came from the other side: "Nathan Bookstore contacted me and wanted to continue to make an appointment with the boss for a manuscript. The remuneration was mentioned at 2,000 words per thousand words."
“Two thousand words for a thousand words?”
"This is a treatment that only writers with certain qualifications can enjoy. Under normal circumstances, new writers only get a few hundred words per thousand words. Because the quality of "The Human Chair" is excellent enough, they reluctantly paid a price of one thousand words per thousand words. That’s already the ceiling price for a new writer.”
"I will think about it."
Lin Zhibai did not expect to become a famous writer with "The Human Chair".
In the final analysis, this is a new work by a newcomer. Even Edogawa Ranpo himself only gained a lot in value after publishing multiple high-quality works in succession.
As for whether you will continue to cooperate with Nathan Bookstore?
Then you have to see if you can get other novels through the lottery first.
Because of the release of "Human Chair" and the subsequent impact of the two previous songs, Lin Zhibai has now saved three more lottery opportunities...
"OK."
Jiang Cheng asked: "Does the boss have any other work arrangements next?"
Lin Zhibai said: "Next, you can learn about the Shinhwa Entertainment TV department. It is best to get information about some of the middle and senior leaders."
“The TV department of Shinhwa?”
Jiang Cheng didn’t expect Lin Zhibai’s topic to jump so much.
Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "As a writer, it should be reasonable and logical for me to write TV scripts, right?"
The script Lin Zhibai talked about was "Crazy".
After getting this script, Lin Zhibai would take time to write it from time to time. As of today, it is almost completed. He hopes to get investment from Shinhwa for this drama.
This is the key to the second step of his plan.
If you don’t cooperate with Shinhwa, you won’t be able to help your father Lin Dong.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "I understand!"
Jiang Cheng pays great attention to propriety. He only needs to handle the things Lin Zhibai told him well. As for whether the boss can write scripts and the quality of the scripts, he will naturally know when the time comes, although he has a big heart. question mark.
“I didn’t hang up in advance.”
Lin Zhibai hung up the phone, and then called Scarlet in his heart.
“Ding dong.”
Crimson appeared: "What are the host's instructions?"
Lin Zhibai confirmed: "Now I have three more chances to win the lottery, right?"
“That’s right.”
As Lin Zhibai releases more and more works, his reputation gradually increases at a faster rate, and there are obviously more lottery opportunities than at the beginning.
“It’s time for a wave of three.”
Lin Zhibai smiled. He was about to start the lottery and used up all three lottery opportunities.
Because the works at hand are obviously not enough, whether it is songs or novels, these two fields are now Lin Zhibai's basic base. As for the short film scripts, he has not yet found time to mess with them, and he must maintain his basic base first. Think about these things again.
next moment.
A virtual turntable appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes.
The virtual turntable started to move, and finally Lin Zhibai heard three system prompts:
【Congratulations to the host for winning the song "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow"】
【Congratulations to the host for winning the variety show planning project "Singer"】
【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the short story collection "ZOO"】
