Behind the glass walls of the upper floors of the building, the editor-in-chief and the head of publishing Longteng Novels looked down at the sales plaza where a large number of readers gathered under the building.

They looked at each other for a moment, then smiled.

The publishing director opened his mouth and said: "Congratulations, editor-in-chief, the sales of "The Legend of Wukong" are so good, and the lowest is at the level of immortals, and it is even possible to reach the level of a small god, your vision is really right, and you will not worry about the next performance selection." ”

The so-called Shangxian and Xiaoshen are the ranking names of some best-selling novelists within Longteng, which essentially represent the novelists ranked in the third and fourth tiers in China.

Li Ming, the editor-in-chief of the novel, said with a smile: "My expectations for "The Legend of Wukong" are higher than yours, let's wait for the results of the quick report to come out, it's useless to say anything now." ”

But not long after he finished speaking, an editor hurried in with a quick report.

"Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, the quick report is out."

The editor handed the report to Li Ming and wiped his sweat, with uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"More than 770,000 copies were sold on the first day, and the final sales are expected to exceed 8.5 million!"

The final sales volume was 8.5 million copies! This sales will undoubtedly be a blockbuster in the comic book industry, but in the highly competitive and talented fiction industry, it is not particularly powerful.

"Look at it, I'm still guessing accurately!" The publishing supervisor said: "At the level of immortals, if the follow-up advertising and promotion are carried out well, there is still hope of becoming a small god, as for the higher ...... That's gone. ”

"It's a pity that I didn't enter the third-line ladder."

He shook his head and sighed: "If you enter the third line and reach the level of a small god, the company will pay more attention to you as the editor-in-chief." ”

The Chinese novel world is a pyramid-like structure, and the three classes at the top are respected by them as god-level, and each of the novelists of this level has the performance of leading the survival of small companies, and 80% of Longteng's resources are invested in these god-level novelists.

If Li Ming excavates a god-level writer, how can this year's bonus be five or six hundred thousand.

"It's a pity ......"

The publishing director sighed again, if it was a minor god level, he would also have a great reward.

"What a pity?" After Li Ming finished reading the quick report, he said with a smile: "Why don't you reach the level of a little god?" ”

The publishing director was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

"You forgot that "The Legend of Wukong" has been released."

Li Ming smiled: "Readers can watch it for free on the Internet, so naturally there is no need to buy it." It's normal for physical book sales to be affected, and this is the first work of Ho Xi. ”

Every famous novelist has to go through the accumulation of fame, the first work has the least sales, Long Teng's evaluation of the novelist's potential is calculated according to the content of the book and the sales together, as long as he is determined to have real talent and learning, the first comprehensive evaluation will be two levels higher than the sales.

"This quick report predicts 8.5 million, and the level of immortals will be increased by two levels, so it's a pity that the evaluation of potential is Zhongshen. But the exposure of "The Legend of Wukong" has affected sales, and it has to be added to one more level, and when the next company meeting, it will definitely be the evaluation of the gods! ”

Li Ming was a little excited.

He is a professional cartoonist, who has caused the miracle of comics, and now no one will doubt that he will be short-lived, and with real talent and excellent market performance, Longteng will regard him as a key object of observation.

"yes, I forgot, this is his first novel."

The publishing director patted his head: "The first novel has this sales, it is indeed a great god's potential!" Haluha, both of us have hope for this year's prize money! ”

He looked expectant.

Li Ming nodded: "The bonus is no problem, but why don't you promise to change careers to become a novelist, the bonus is only half at most." ”

As soon as he said this, the director's face was full of regret: "Alas, how can a good novel genius draw, how hard that thing is!" ”

Compared with comics and novels, it is hard and less money, and the sales market and channels of comics are far worse than novels, in addition to the Central Plains, there are five regions in Jiangnan, with a population of more than 3 billion, the world's dominant, a novel that sells 10 million copies is a third-tier level, and a single comic book sells 10 million copies! !

"Why do you think you're going to leave the comics world?"

The Director asked, expectantly.

"I don't know about this, but ......" Li Ming frowned: "Comics have been developed for more than ten years, and the first batch of people who have undergone higher education are about to come out, and these people's drawing skills are very high, which will bring a round of revolution to the comic industry." ”

"Higher Comic Education."

The director was slightly stunned, and then complained: "Are you talking about the comic association run by those capitalists and painters, I remember that Ninghai's reservation as a comic education center was snatched away by Yanjing, and this year they also set up a comic company." ”

"Yes, it's not just Yanjing."

Li Ming nodded: "Far East, Far East, Taiwan Strait, Yinbang, Tibetan Plains, and the five districts of Huaxia all have a comic education center, and the first batch of students are ready to come out, and the comic and animation industries will usher in a reshuffle." ”

He sighed slightly, and suddenly thought of the conversation he had with Meng Shu last time. The kid had brilliant fantasies about the future of comics, but those ideas might have been seen by the capitalists years ago and quietly picked up.

If it weren't for the sudden rise of the army, Li Ming really couldn't have noticed that the higher comic education that Huaxia decided to carry out a few years ago had only one school place in each region, which was strange at the time, but now I think about it is full of malice to divide the market.

Both the Central Plains and Jiangnan belong to the hinterland of China, and the comic market in this area is regarded as a garden by the Yanjing Comics Association.

"Come on, boy."

Li Ming is sorry to cheer in his heart, everything in the cultural industry depends on strength to speak, and it is actually difficult for a group of cartoonists who have walked out of society to rely on one person's Phoenix Company, but no matter what the Phoenix Company does, Li Ming believes that he will not be defeated.

He is a genius of original comics, those who have been trained by higher education are only talents who draw comics, and the development and development of the comic market are indispensable, and capitalists who want to make money will definitely not hurt him.

The result may go in two directions, one is to change jobs, or Phoenix to join the Comics Association, and the other is to accept more cartoonists and form a more powerful company centered on He Xi.

But for Li Ming, he prefers a third ending......

The capitalists struck down and thus turned him around and entered the novel industry.

However, this possibility is the least, now that the war is gone, Huaxia technology has entered a bottleneck, the world is in a dormant period of development, and it will take hundreds of years for mankind to open the path of the astral boundary. In this process, material life will be quickly saturated, and in order to meet the social emptiness that human beings are about to usher in, entertainment culture will be used as a pillar industry.

The existence of He Xi will soon attract attention at the national level as a potential candidate for the godfather of a cultural category with great potential......

He will be protected by the state for the rest of his life.
