Chapter 19 Sincerity of Cooperation

Editorial Department of Xingkong Novel Network.

Over forty years old, Mei Shicai, editor-in-chief of Starry Sky above the Mediterranean Sea, took a sip of tea and glanced at the public opinion on the Internet after the finale of "Sword and Fairy" with a smile.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Internet has been abusing it. Some extreme book fans have even been resisting and demanding that the article be revised.

Just as Mei Shicai was flipping through the web page, the office door suddenly opened.

"Chief Editor, the contract has been modified according to your requirements, and I have also sent the electronic version."

"good."

Mei Shicai took over the new contract prepared for [Cement Sealing Heart], flipped through it, and placed it on top of an old contract prepared two weeks ago.

Xianque Chinese Network’s new author [Cement Sealed Heart] has been gaining momentum recently. As the industry leader, Xingkong Novel Network has naturally been paying attention to it and has been preparing to poach people.

The one below is the contract prepared two weeks ago. It can be said that the treatment is very generous, and the subscription income reaches as much as 65%.

The contract of the website cannot be given randomly, because it will not bring revenue to the website, and it is very common to be cut off.

But once the finale of "Sword and Fairy" came out, the situation was completely different.

[Sealing the Heart with Concrete] was reviled by the entire Internet, and its reputation plummeted.

Such an author is far less valuable to Xingkong Novel Network than before.

The reason why Xingkong Novel Network tried so hard to raise the salary to dig out "Cement Sealed Heart" before was because "Sword of Immortality" has the potential to break through the industry.

During the serialization of "Fairy Sword", the number of active readers on the Xianque Chinese website continued to rise. Although it did not exceed Xingkong, the gap was within a catchable range, which put a lot of pressure on Xingkong Novel Network and felt a certain threat.

But now...

…

An author who is reviled by the entire Internet, even if he is a popular and competent author, is not a fatal threat to Star Novel Network.

There are many authors who become famous with one book, but it is not easy to maintain it because readers will have higher demands on you.

For a novel website of the size of Xingkong, Xingkong is not afraid of the emergence of a popular online novel as long as it does not break the circle.

How could it be possible to be defeated by just one book?

I am afraid of the emergence of Internet books and authors that are big hits.

Nowadays, it is estimated that the Xianque Chinese website itself is in a state of distress, and it is difficult to deal with the public opinion about the ending of this fairy sword.

Not only Xingkong, but also Xianque may take the opportunity to lower the price.

The benefits of Xingkong's new contract are far less generous than the contract two weeks ago.

If you can dig it out, Xingkong will dig it out.

If you really can't dig it out, just forget it and save yourself some trouble.

Mei Shicai had contacted Lin Qiu before during the serialization of "Sword of Immortality" and expressed the "sincerity" of Xingkong Novel Network, but things are different now.

"Master Feng Xin, this is the new book contract prepared by Xingkong Novel Network for you."

"I wonder if you are interested in switching to our Starry Sky Novel Network."

Mei Shicai took another sip of tea and sent the electronic version of the new book contract to Lin Qiu.

…

In Xia Ying's dormitory.

Lin Qiu, who was engrossed in coding the manuscript of "Sword and Sword 3", received the news and opened the contract and read it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the smile on Lin Qiu's lips couldn't stop, and he typed back:

"Isn't this different from what was promised before?"

When it comes to choosing a new book release website, Lin Qiu now definitely has to shop around to see which one is the most sincere and worth going to.

But this Starry Sky Novel Network is a bit interesting.

When the popularity of "Sword and Fairy" was at its highest, Lin Qiu drew all kinds of cakes.

Now the situation has changed, and the tone has changed instantly.

"It's like this. Star Novel Network has carefully discussed and agreed on the contracts for gold-level online writers."

"We have the largest number of online article readers on the entire Internet. Readers' subscriptions will definitely make more money than in Xianque. I hope you will consider it carefully and don't refuse in a hurry."

"..."

After sending some clichés, Mei Shicai still looked calm.

After the ending of "Sword and Sword 1" sparked public opinion across the Internet, the popularity of the new book "Cement Sealed Heart" may not be as popular as before, and people will pay for "Sword and Sword 1".

"Um?"

"You won't reply to me?"

…

Lin Qiu was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with this person named "Mei".

Whether there is more money or less, it really doesn't matter to Lin Qiu, because with the entertainment works Lin Qiu has mastered in his previous life, it is impossible to be short of money in this life.

The royalties for "Fairy Sword One" alone reached more than 30 million.

But this person surnamed Mei looked like he was convinced of Lin Qiu, which was completely different from his attitude a few days ago, which was really off-putting.

"You really don't care about the stars?"

Zhou Kai shook his chair and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiu smiled and asked:

"If it were you, would you sign it?"

Zhou Kai snorted lightly and said with disdain:

"I definitely won't sign it. I'm not short of money anyway."

"Xiao Bi, get used to it."

"I don't want to leave you here, I have my own place to stay."

"That's fine then."

After Lin Qiu said this, the computer's chat box lit up again.

At first, Lin Qiu thought it was the person named Mei again, but when he took a closer look, it was Xue Hua, the editor-in-chief of Xianque Chinese Network, who sent the message and the new contract brought by Xianque.

Originally, Lin Qiu thought that Xianque Chinese Network could at most give him a small sincerity contract. After all, his reputation now was indeed mediocre and he was a hot potato.

But what Lin Qiu didn't expect was that this new contract was so sincere.

The subscription revenue reaches 75%, the reward revenue is 85%, and the copyright fee is only 25%.

"Wood grass?"

"Is Xianque so discerning?"

Zhou Kai widened his eyes and said to Lin Qiu in surprise.

…

"Feng Xin, Xianque hopes to keep you as an author and develop long-term cooperation."

"What other websites can give you, Xianque can also give you."

"If you have any other requirements, just mention it. The website will try its best to meet them."

Lin Qiu was totally surprised to receive this sentence from the editor-in-chief of Xianque, and said in surprise:

"The contract is quite sincere."

The online literature websites in this world are slightly different from those in the previous life.

What is the concept of this contract? For novel contracts on normal websites, the subscription income is about 40%~60%, the reward income is between 50~70%, and the copyright is generally 50%.

And the contract that Lin Qiu received is completely comparable to the contracts of several platinum supreme gods.

"Looking at the previous contract information, you are also in Yanjing, can you spare time for an interview?"

"Sure."

…

The headquarters of Xianque Chinese Network is in Yanjing.

Just one day later, Xianque's editor-in-chief Cao Xue and editor-in-charge Xiao Ming went to a coffee shop outside Xiazhou Film Academy and saw the true face of [Cement Sealed Heart].

"Hello, Feng Xin, I am Xianque's editor-in-chief Xuehua."

"I am Xiao Ming."

Cao Xue stood up and shook hands with Lin Qiu. Xiao Ming blinked and secretly looked at Lin Qiu several times.

Family, so handsome!

Could he be a student of the acting department of Xiazhou Film Academy?

In normal life, it is difficult for Xiao Ming to come into contact with boys with such good looks.

Lin Qiu's contract information website is available, so Lin Qiu came directly for an interview, just in time to talk about identity concealment.

There is one more update at 6 o'clock.

Thanks to [Little Chicken Pecking Rice] for the reward of 1,500 starting coins!

Thanks to [Yuuuuuuu] for the reward of 766 starting coins!
