Dongshan Province, Qinan City, Glorious Shengnian Publishing Company.
Lin Caiwen, who had just finished reading a document, breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned on the back of the seat to close his eyes and recuperate.
As the first book operated by the company, "Soul Ferry" not only represents the success or failure of the work itself, but also affects the future development plan of the entire company.
Because of this, she put 12 points of her energy into it.
Especially now that the book's release date is approaching, all sorts of things are coming.
Although she is also experienced in this industry, after all, the company is start-up, and many things still feel powerless.
And at such a critical moment, the author, who is the core of the creation and promotion of the work, actually told her that she was going to travel, and she was gone for more than half a month.
God knows that when she received the call at that time, she had the heart to kill this kid.
"Heh-" Lin Caiwen secretly sighed helplessly: "After all, he is just a teenager, so be willful." ” But it's also a bit of a sense of responsibility, and he didn't forget that his work was about to go on sale.
In addition to posting a few landscape photos on Weibo every day, he still cooperates with the promotional advertorial of "Soul Ferry".
Thinking of this, Lin Caiwen turned on the computer and clicked on Mu Ming's Weibo homepage.
"Hey, this is coming back?"
Lin Caiwen looked at a Weibo that Mu Ming had just updated this morning, the text was "home", and the picture below was the waiting area of SH Pudong Airport, the time was three hours ago.
Calculate the time, it should have landed by now.
Lin Caiwen was thinking about it when there was a knock on the door.
After tidying up his clothes a little and sitting up straight, Lin Caiwen said in a low voice: "Please come in."
Then, I was surprised to see that it was Mu Ming, who was still talking about just now.
"Aren't you going home?"
Lin Caiwen stretched out his hand and motioned for Mu Ming to sit down, and then he also got up and sat opposite Mu Ming, looking at Mu Ming with interest.
"Didn't you come here first to ask about the pre-sale of "Soul Ferry", you in the province leave a message under my Weibo every day, saying that I don't care about the work at all."
Mu Ming pretended to be a complaining way.
After nearly a year of rapid development, the role of the Weibo platform in promoting the works has become increasingly prominent.
Guangcai also established his own official Weibo account, and rubbed the popularity of Mu Ming under Mu Ming's Weibo every day.
Lin Caiwen lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, many of those comments were made by her.
One is to vent his anger and vent his envy and jealousy for Mu Ming when everyone is working hard; Moreover, it is to gain popularity, after all, Mu Ming is now a well-known blogger with millions of fans.
"How's it going?"
Lin Caiwen changed the subject.
Sure enough, Mu Ming instantly became interested and began to talk about interesting things during the trip.
Sanya, Shuchuan, Zhonghai, gliding, bungee jumping, parachuting, Mu Ming is worthy of writing stories, telling what he sees and hears, although it is endless, but it is not boring.
Lin Caiwen listened to Mu Ming's description with relish, and couldn't help but sigh at Mu Ming's changes in his heart.
When we met for the first time, I only felt that Mu Ming was not like a teenager at all, and she was full of maturity and stability.
But after getting acquainted with it later, I found that he still had a little naïve childishness and juvenile feeling in his heart, but he didn't know why, he had been suppressed by himself.
And today's meeting, Mu Ming's feeling has changed again.
Like an unsheathed sword, it no longer has the previous sense of oppression, and is full of the sharpness of a young man.
In fact, Mu Ming himself felt this change, and he himself knew the reason.
Before being reborn, Mu Ming's personality was "getting by", and he believed that "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain".
But rebirth gave Mu Ming another chance, so he kept planning the future for himself, taking the college entrance examination, gambling, and writing books, this kind of planned life made Mu Ming have to suppress his original character and work hard to adapt.
In addition to adapting to oneself, there is also adaptation to the environment.
The original habit has become a thing or a person, and the original intimacy has become a strange journey.
Compared with her own changes, this sense of disconnection and loneliness is what makes Mu Ming the most tired.
Therefore, the feeling of depression that Mu Ming had before was not only because of the excitement brought by the sudden huge amount of money, but also mixed with the anger accumulated in his heart for several months.
It wasn't until this solo trip, after a shout facing the sky, that Mu Ming vented all these angers, and the soul and spirit before rebirth finally merged with the body and era after rebirth.
This is also the reason why Lin Caiwen felt a sense of youth from Mu Ming, because the current Mu Ming finally became the boy he was eighteen years old.
Although Mu Ming has countless topics to talk about traveling, she still remembers the reason why she deliberately stopped for a day in Qinan City.
So they didn't say much, and the two began to talk about the pre-sale of "Soul Ferry".
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
When the contract was signed before, the contract stipulated that the first printing of "Soul Ferry" could not be less than 50,000 copies.
After market research, Lin Caiwen made the decision, and the first printing volume was directly set at 200,000 copies.
A newcomer's first new book has a first print run of 200,000, which is a good thing for Mu Ming, the author, but it is undoubtedly a bold decision for the publishing company.
Fortunately, Lin Caiwen and Liu Sheng basically had the final say, and they were full of trust in Mu Ming's work, so they passed this plan that seemed a little crazy.
As it turned out, the trust of the two was not betrayed in vain.
Up to now, the pre-sales of the paperback version of "Soul Ferry" have exceeded 40,000, and the hardcover version of 3,000 copies has long been sold out.
This means that the first printing of 200,000 copies is not a problem at all, and it is destined to need to be reprinted.
"According to the contract, thirty percent of the tax on the first printing will be paid as an advance payment before publication.
It's 224,000 in total, and we've already remitted it to your account.
Lin Caiwen explained seriously.
Money is always the most important issue, and in order to maintain good cooperation, this aspect must be clarified.
"I know, I got it."
Mu Ming nodded and said indifferently.
If it was half a month ago, Mu Ming would have been happy at this time.
But after experiencing the baptism of tens of millions of dollars, this kind of small number can no longer satisfy Mu Ming's G-spot.
Compared with the financial income, Mu Ming is more excited about the good pre-sale of "Soul Ferry" itself.
Before a work really faces the market, no one dares to say that it will succeed with 100% certainty, and now Mu Ming has finally let go of the last bit of worry in her heart.
After learning about the situation of the books, Mu Ming did not stay in Qinan for long, and returned to Haiwei after a short pause.
As Mu Ming expected, the admission letter from China Transmission University arrived shortly after Mu Ming left.
Let go of the last bit of worry, and then just wait for the official release of "Soul Ferry".
