Chapter 77

"Neil Gayman agreed."

Wang Jian hung up and tapped his fingers on the table.

Website development to now, is entering a bottleneck period.

A large number of young people who have the habit of surfing the Internet and like reading books have been attracted to become paid readers of the website.

But many traditional readers think that books should be paper-based, and reading online is against tradition.

They mention this website, it is all sorts of contempt, plus disdain.

As a writer with a certain appeal, Neil geiman is a famous writer.

His joining, should be able to make this situation, a certain change.

Well, that's it.

Wang Jian picked up the phone and called Tom again.

"We're going to have a big signing ceremony for Neil geiman."

"By the way, invite as many reporters as possible to report the news"

"will Neil geiman agree?" Tom asked back, "besides, it's a big expense to invite a lot of journalists."

"These expenses can be calculated into the marketing expenses of the website." Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "as for whether he agrees or not, it depends on your eloquence."

To Tom's surprise.

Neil geiman, who is proud of himself, has always been worried that the publishing house is not optimistic about his next work.

When he learned that he had a chance to announce to people that he could publish his works without relying on a publishing house. Moreover, all kinds of conditions are far superior to the press.

Neil Gayman agreed without hesitation.

That's it. A few days later.

In the conference room of a hotel in New York.

As chairman of the board, Wang Jian signed a license agreement for the electronic copyright of the American gods with famous writer Neil Gaiman.

Then, they said some kind of bullshit.

Under the temptation of money, most literary newspapers sent reporters to report on it.

Neil Gayman's new work, the American gods, has also made its news known on the Internet.

A few days after Tom sent Neil geiman and his copyright agent out of New York.

Wang Jian continued to work on the manuscript of the extreme Tao and the heavenly devil, while caring about all kinds of data on the website.

Well, it worked well.

Although the "American gods" data is not ideal.

However, the number of follow-up readers of other works generally began to increase.

In particular, Weier and the American gods belong to the same category of fantasy, which has increased many new readers.

No matter how you look at it, it's worth it.

He hummed happily in a minor, and continued to write "extreme way and heavenly devil".

But in sharp contrast to Wang Jian's mood, it was Neil Gaiman who was in a gloomy mood.

I thought that as a well-known author of their own, a book on the website will be a variety of sought after.

But when he looked at the comments section of the American gods, he became very upset.

"Good idea, but the protagonist is the weakest of all the characters? Withdraw, withdraw... "

"I thought that the protagonist could play with all kinds of gods. As a result, that's it? "

"Also a well-known writer, take a look at the extreme and the demons, and then take a look at the American gods?"

……

Neil felt the biggest difference between publishing books and online serialization.

That is, from the deep malice of readers.

The arrogant Neil Gayman, compared with a piece of praise of "extreme Tao and demons".

Read the published chapter of the American gods again.

His chest heaved rapidly as if he were making a difficult decision.

More than ten seconds later, Neil suddenly said to himself, "anyway, the electronic version and the published novel are not necessarily the same thing."

"I can surpass the young man named Wang Jian in writing such things."

"Isn't it that the protagonist has a card? This kind of creation is even more difficult! "

So he deleted the published chapter.

Then, empty your mind and think about how to write.

A moment later, a special online version of the American gods came out.

The protagonist has also changed from an ordinary person involved in a mysterious event to a spirit with split personality.

Among them, the protagonist is an ordinary person.

And the other personality becomes the God of fire.

The God of fire existed in ancient times, but in modern times, because firearms became weapons, it evolved into the God of weapons.

As a result, this personality has the dual identity of Old God and new God, and becomes the strongest God.

Every time he is in danger, the ordinary personality will fall into sleep, and the divine personality will wake up immediately.

Then, it begins to tyranny the whole field, using fire, bullets, missiles, small nuclear bombs to fight magic, electromagnetic and other powers.And the protagonist has also become a troublemaker of the war between the new and old gods.

Neil took a deep breath after modifying and uploading some chapters and modifying the outline.

Don't say, it's really cool to write like this.

Even without fighting with the young man Wang Jian, this novel can be written down.

In this way, we can not only reap a certain amount of money.

It can also ease the depression of the serious version of American gods.

In this way, the online version of "American gods" has become a variant version of "take an old man with you".

Neil drank his coffee and looked at what he had written. He couldn't help laughing.

Stephen King is right. The ideas of the authors on this website are very interesting.

Meanwhile, the editor in chief of Langdon press.

The bald editor in chief looked at the distribution contract of Volume I of arcane God that had just been sent for.

While listening, the assistant reported the situation of the "Internet Special Edition" novel some time ago.

"Amazon doesn't pay much attention to the promotion of books. After they cheated a lot of investment with this reason, they began to expand their business scale

"Amazon doesn't want to be the biggest online bookstore, but wants to be Wal Mart and Carrefour on the Internet."

"Our investment in this is almost empty."

"In addition to Neil Gaiman's joining, what other big moves does that website have?" Asked the editor in chief.

"That Wang Jian began to write his third novel, the extreme way and the devil. Besides, it seems that they are going to buy a small publishing house on the verge of bankruptcy. "

"Small press?" Asked the editor in chief.

"Yes. But as far as I know, they don't want to set foot in the publishing field, they want to sell the physical version as a peripheral, just like a comic book shop. "

"Around..." The editor in chief nodded, "then you can find a way to get all the data on this website."

He made a sign that the assistant could leave.

Then, the editor in chief logs on to the website, opens the comments area of "extreme Tao and heavenly devil" and looks at a large number of readers' comments.

More than ten minutes later, he rubbed his eyes and stood at the window looking at the distant scenery.

He whispered, "what's going on in this world?"

PS: one more

I have a little diarrhea.
