"I heard that 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' has a publication plan, how's the discussion with DeYun Press going? Many book fans have been waiting for a long time, just like my brother who keeps mentioning it to me every day, saying that once the physical version of 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' is published, he'll definitely buy several copies to take home and treasure."

  "Hehe, reporter Lei Bei should know the price that De Yun Publishing House gave for my previous book 'The Legend of Wukong'. " Su Xincheng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, having been threatened by De Yun Publishing House, so don't blame him for exposing them."

  "I've heard that the sales of 'Journey to the West' have been extraordinary, with over 250,000 copies sold in the first month and a clear upward trend. This month's sales won't be lower than the first month."

  Since it's an exclusive interview with Lei Bei, I've collected some data. Last month, Su Rui Chen relied on some storms and news to barely pull the first-month sales to over 2.5 million copies, and this month's storm is not low either. The reputation has been established, and the sales are only slightly lower. However, even with such sales, it's still a miserable 50,000 words, which would be unacceptable for anyone.

  "Is it really impossible to come to an agreement on prices, as some newspapers have reported?"

  "I mentioned this issue at a press conference for my previous book. Although 'Journey to the West' has sold well, I am not an ungrateful person, so I have no opinion on this matter."

  It's not because of this, but what is it? Lei Bei was puzzled.

  "What price did DeYun Press give me for this book 'Sherlock Holmes'?"

  "Considering the sales of 'Journey to the West', plus the current popularity, taking 10%-14% of a first-rate author's share is no problem at all. Let's say 12%, that's more reasonable." Lei Bei judged.

  "I also think this price is suitable, then Bei Lei journalist do you know what price De Yun publishing house gave me? One thousand words for one hundred yuan to buy out the copyright, when I heard this price, both my partner and I were stunned." Su Xichen couldn't help but laugh.

  "A thousand words for a hundred?" Lei Bei was stunned. He knew that the Yangcheng Daily had serialized "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" at a rate of 1,000 words per 100 yuan, but now the De Yun Publishing House wanted to buy it outright for 100 yuan per 1,000 words. This price was unacceptable not only to Su Xianchen, but also to Lei Bei, an outsider.

  "My first book 'Journey to the West' was signed by the editor-in-chief of De Yun Publishing House, who offered me a 14% share. However, due to this point, I had disagreements with the president of De Yun Publishing House and was directly dismissed. Do you think I could agree to De Yun Publishing House's offer of 100 yuan per thousand words? I really couldn't tolerate it, he made shamelessness his capital."

  Lei Bei nodded in understanding while secretly scolding the president of De Yun Publishing House in his heart, whose vision was really too short-sighted.

  "So now I most want to ask DeYun Publishing House's president a question, and that is why he gave up on treatment."

  "Give up treatment?" Lei Bei immediately reacted, this sentence was quite subtle.

  "As for 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection', have you ever thought of taking it to other publishers? Yangcheng is not the only one, DeYun Publishing House is not the only one."

  "Uh, I've already discussed the publication with a cultural dissemination company, and I believe all you Holmes fans will be able to see the physical book soon." Su Xichen had one more thing he didn't say - he was also the editor-in-chief of this cultural dissemination company, and if he said it out loud, Lei Bei would definitely be shocked.

  "For some junior high school and high school dropouts who want to become a genius writer like you, what do you have to say about this?"

  This is a report from Yangcheng Evening News, saying that a high school student saw the news about Su Shiying, a junior high school student who made money by writing books. He thought that if a junior high school student could make money by writing books, why couldn't he? So he dropped out of school despite his family's opposition and spent half a month writing a book, which was eventually rejected by the publisher after submission.

  In the end, nothing worked out.

  "Hmm, how to put it, in such a vast China, how many junior high school writers are there? How many high school writers? How many university writers? As I always say, without certain innate talent, one cannot write. As for those who want to learn from me, I just want to say this: "

  "God is one of a kind, and I am also one of a kind. Those who want to learn from me will ultimately fail, because you can never learn God."

  Su Shi's words made Lei Bei stunned, the Chinese people are moderate and humble due to Confucianism, but Westerners are different, so madmen are generally from the West.

  But compared to those madmen in the West, Su Rui Chen's words just now seem even more arrogant.

  "Reporter from Lei Bei, did you think my previous words were arrogant? But I'm only 14 years old, and it's normal for me to be young and reckless. If I were mature and calm, that would make me an old man, and I would have lost the youthful spirit that a young person should have!"

  "Young people should be young and crazy, full of energy, even if they get hurt and bruised, they should still hold their heads high and move forward towards the sunshine, because youth is drawn to the sun."

  "Even if you fall and get hurt all over, you can still get back up again, because youth allows for failure, but not laziness."

  "Youth is a song that never fades away, Youth is a river that never stops flowing, Youth is a book that never gets old."

  "No more laughter of youth, how desolate the sky would be. Youth is a budding flower that wants to show off its independent style to the world." Su Xichen's speech about youth made Lei Bei feel a surge of passion and enthusiasm.

  Although TV stations are not as rigid as government agencies, they also have a strict hierarchy. Lei Bei's passion had long been extinguished, but Su Rui Chen's words today made him think that perhaps there is a kind of person whose youth will never fade away!

  The recorder has recorded all the words Su Shilei just said, plus the previous witty remarks of Su Shilei. After the show is broadcast, it will definitely be very popular.

  "After all, I have to say a concluding remark. Don't worship me, brother is just a legend." Su Xichen.

  Lei Bei couldn't help but laugh, he had lost count of how many times he had laughed during the interview. It seemed that this genius writer was not only talented, but also extremely humorous.

  "That's all for today's interview, thank you for Su Xichen's cooperation. Also, I have a personal request, hope you can agree."

  "What request"

  "I've mentioned before that my younger brother is a fan of the Sherlock Holmes series, he's asked me many times to get your autograph." Lei Bei took out a book and a pen.

  "What is your younger brother's name, reporter Lei Bei?"

  "Lei Nan" Wishing Lei Nan all the best, Su Xier Chen! She wrote down her own name with a smile.

  Seeing Lei Bei off, Su Chen also let out a big sigh of relief. When his father, Su Jian, returned home, the family's dinner began.

  "Morning results cannot fall." Su Jian.

  "Don't mind your dad, come and eat more dishes." Wei Xin picked up a big chopstick of dishes. "Don't look at your dad's gloomy face, actually he is extremely happy in his heart."

  This is indeed true, Su Jian's heart was very happy. As soon as he arrived at the unit, his colleagues would say: "Old Su, your little Chen has become a great writer now, really talented." "Old Su, how do you educate your child? Look at your little Chen and look at our kid." "Old Su, your little Chen is really reassuring for adults" and so on, all sorts of praise.

  This praise would make any parent happy.

  "Quickly turn the TV to Yangcheng Channel, what's the use of watching CCTV?" Su Jian said.

  "Old man, what do you know? Today, a reporter from the Central News Agency came to interview Xiao Chen. At 7 o'clock tonight, it will be on the Central News, let's see if there is any news about Xiao Chen."

  "With so many writers in the country who are more capable than Xiao Chen, none of them have been on CCTV News before. How could Xiao Chen possibly be on it? CCTV News is a place that reports on major national events." Su Jian.

  Actually, Su Zhan also thought so, the possibility of CCTV is slim, although today's interview has a CCTV reporter, but it should be another program of CCTV, and scrolling at the bottom of the screen is already the best.

  However, in the end, Su Xincheng's mother Wei Xin and her family were still watching CCTV, waiting for the CCTV news. In Su Xincheng's memory, it had been a long time since they last watched Central News.

  "Boom boom boom boom..." At 7:00, the special sound effect of Central News started between two formally dressed male and female hosts.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!"

  "Good evening!"

  "Today is October 21st Wednesday, September 6th in lunar calendar."

  Girl: "Today's 'News Broadcast' program mainly includes..."

  Someone summarized the first ten minutes of Xinwen Lianbo: national leaders are very busy, either going abroad or visiting rural areas.

  In the middle ten minutes, people all over the country are very happy, either getting rich or having a bumper harvest.

  In another ten minutes, other countries were in a mess, either exploding or rebelling.

  Although this description of "News Broadcast" is somewhat biased, it's roughly the same.

  But this time it's different.

  " CCTV's big play 'New Journey to the West' is on air, Yu Qiyuan becomes the director, Su Shichen becomes the youngest screenwriter in Huaxia, please see below for more information."

  Su Zhechen was a bit dazed, suspecting that his ears had gone bad, staring intently at the TV.

  Later, the news broadcast showed some of Yu Qiyuan's press conference and many reporters interviewing him. Although this scene only lasted for a few seconds, he indeed appeared on the evening news.

  "Quickly, quickly, look! That's Xiao Chen. Have you seen our Xiao Chen on the news broadcast?" Wei Xin exclaimed excitedly.

  Su Jian was also stunned, and he simply nodded like a wooden puppet.

  Xinwen Lianbo is undoubtedly one of the most influential programs on CCTV, this is undeniable. In a previous life, Earth was not even dared to think about it.

  "Journey to the West" as one of CCTV's two major annual plans, the entire CCTV attaches great importance to it, so "Journey to the West"'s news broke the rules and went on CCTV. Director Yu Qiyuan and Su Xingchen became the two points of hype, and coincidentally appeared on the CCTV stage.

  "Xiao Chen, have you become the main screenwriter of 'Journey to the West'?" Wei Xin.

  "No, Yu Qiyuan wanted to create a new style for the remake, so he imitated Hollywood in the US and formed a scriptwriting team of five people, and I'm just one of them."

  "It doesn't matter, this time the shooting will definitely follow the shooting, and then see many big stars."

  "It should be like this."

  "Remember to get more autographs back." Is mom still a fan?

  But the next sentence completely negated Su Xichen's guess. "Hanging a star's signature on the wall is better-looking than any decoration."

  Using a celebrity's signature as a decorative item is really clever!

  After finishing dinner, I returned to my room and continued typing with focus. My phone rang, an unfamiliar call.

  "Hello, is this Su Shichen?"

  He is a strange man with an old voice, probably over fifty years old, who could he be?

  Thanks to hongbaoma and xiaoxiashumeng for the reward. As a matter of fact, Xiaomao herself also likes reading books, including online ones, so she naturally knows that the PS at the end of the article has some influence, but maybe it's because the writing is too bad, with over 100,000 words and still no contract.

  So the kitten wants to compete for a new book list and see if it can help with signing.

  So I hope all book friends will support Xiaomao a little bit. Collect, member clicks, recommendations, thank you.
