Chapter 39: Visit the bar in person and guide the work
Yanjing, Editor-in-Chief Office of Dalong.com.
"What do you mean, did that walking frog agree?"
"He didn't say death, but he agreed to meet."
"That's a good thing. This guy's writing style is actually like that, but he has a brain that's grown like that, and his ideas are really unconstrained and unconstrained."
William Li smiled and said, "That's why I want to meet him. What I value is not the book, but him as a person."
The two looked at each other and smiled. If "Fight the Sky" becomes a hit, Sun Tao's next book will definitely sell better.
……
It turns out that rebirth will also lead to acclimatization.
Sun Tao returned to the office and carefully studied the signing agreement and went to various forums to inquire.
Sure enough, it is the same as William Li said. In this era, if you want to make money from writing, the only way is to publish physical books. However, mainland publishing houses for online novels like his simply sell the publishing rights to Hong Kong and Taiwan. If the sales are poor, It’s just a one-time deal. If the sales are good, you can collect more royalties...
Sun Tao also looked up the Dalong.com that Li William mentioned, and found out that it was the later famous battle forum "Konglong".
In 2001, Dalong.com was still the largest original literary website in the Chinese-speaking region. Unfortunately, Dalong.com focused on offline publishing business and missed the explosion of online literature.
……
Sun Tao hesitated while holding the agreement.
It's not impossible to just endure it for a few years. When "Fight Breaking the Sky" is finished, he will become a senior resident at Qidian. In the future, like a toad, even if he doesn't write novels, he can still go to Zhihu to guide newcomers.
But what to do in the past two years, I only have a few hundred yuan in my pocket, and I still need 5,000 to buy a house. I can only find girlfriends like Li Xiaojun and Qin Boya who own houses. I can’t even afford to take my girlfriend to a hotel room.
According to William Li, as long as the publishing rights are sold to him, he can earn tens of thousands in one lump sum and there will be royalties in the future. He didn't specify the exact tens of thousands. Sun Tao checked the Internet and found no relevant information.
Sun Tao held the contract in his hand and felt a little sorry for the editor Lin Pingping's regard.
"Fuck", Sun Tao reacted, and William Li called his cell phone directly.
Sun Tao was a little excited after receiving the signing information, which he revealed in the newly released chapter. Just now, he thought that Li William saw him about to sign and hurried to intercept Hu. Now he remembered that he only told Lin Pingping his mobile phone number.
MD, whether you want to get tens of thousands of dollars immediately or be a starting point veteran, this is still a question!
[Ding ding ding] [Ding ding ding], it’s still a strange number.
"Hello, hello, who are you?" Sun Tao said lightly.
"Hey, brother, you didn't save my number!" The other person was quite surprised.
Oh, Li Hu, the owner of Huadu Nightclub, Sun Tao heard it.
"Brother Tiger, I'm sorry. I drank too much that day. What happened? What do you want from me?"
"Hey hey hey, please help me keep an eye on things."
……
Half past six.
Li Hu appeared at the gate of the Workers' Cultural Palace in his Toyota Pra.
"Damn, you're overbearing. It's the same model as our curator. I heard this car costs hundreds of thousands, enough to buy a building." Sun Tao walked around the car enviously.
The car is a man's face. Sun Tao gently held it, and Li Hu immediately became jealous.
"Hahaha, don't say TM costs hundreds of thousands. There is no stock in Jichun at all. Even if you have money, you can't buy it. To drive this car, you must not only have money but also the connections. Your brother and I have to buy this car from regular channels for at least 60 "Ten thousand bases..." People in society will brag when they get the chance.
Sun Tao smiled slightly and said to himself, just show off, you can't even drive a smuggled car without a license plate.
In fact, their curator's car was also a smuggled car, but he was an official, so there was a way to put the license plate on a smuggled car.
——
7pm, Huadu Nightclub. There was no greeter at the door.
It is estimated that it is not the peak period and is still in the preparation stage.
Li Hu glanced at Sun Tao again. He felt a little strange yesterday. He was too calm for people of this age. He heard that he was a big gangster and was not afraid. Today, he personally invited him to the house and he didn't seem to be flattered. .
"I arranged it in the lobby. There will basically be no guests at this time. Even if there are, it won't affect anything. It would be better if they are willing to watch the excitement. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to create a simulated environment? Some people's psychological quality is not good enough in the box. It’s okay to sing. If there are too many people, your hips will stretch..."
"How many people are you going to sign up for?"
Li Hu chuckled, "Fuck, I didn't expect that. Normally, I have a few girls here who specialize in singing with people, and a few part-time beauties. There are no more than 15 people together. You left me yesterday I asked the foreman to ask, damn, everyone wants to sign up for more than 30 people.”
Sun Tao smiled and said, "It's okay. The more people, the better. Even if you don't sing well, you can gain popularity."
……
【Hello, boss! 】
【Hello, Teacher Sun! 】
As soon as he entered the door, under the leadership of the foreman, dozens of handsome guys and beauties in two rows bowed and said hello to Sun Tao.
Sultry and charming are relatively abstract terms, but as soon as you sit on the sofa in a nightclub, the abstraction becomes concrete.
Li Hu must have made arrangements a long time ago. The foreman and a few girls and boys who did not participate acted as spectators and sat sparsely around them. The girls and boys who were preparing to participate stood in a row one by one.
Li Hu said with a smile: "Teacher Sun, from the beginning, these people have been stunned by your actions."
Teacher Sun?
In the past and present life, people often called him Master Sun, including Lao Sun and Xiao Sun. This was the first time I heard the title Teacher Sun.
Sun Tao laughed and said, "Okay, now that you call me teacher, I can't hide my secrets anymore."
Sun Tao took the microphone and said, "I will be the host from now on. Come on, two of you, go to the door to greet the guests. When guests come, you will open business as usual. Brother Hu, write the numbers on the entire lottery box and let them draw the order of appearance. …”
MD, there are fifty or sixty people down here, not to mention the contestants. Sun Tao is a little nervous seeing so many people.
Sun Tao adjusted his mood and said, "Hey, start Sun Beining mode."
"Everyone, please listen to me about the rules first. Our audition will only last 5 to 8 minutes. When you come up, you have to introduce your age and occupation first. There is no need to introduce your gender."
[Hahaha, there was a burst of laughter below. 】
Sun Tao smiled slightly, and a little baggage relieved his emotions and brought the audience in, "I'll give it a try, just like this: Hello everyone, my name is Sun Tao, from Xiaoli Village, I am 19 years old, and now I am a driver. I sing The song is【Monica】
【teacher! 】A little girl below raised her hand.
"What's the problem?"
"Teacher, how do we introduce ourselves? Do we say that we are the bartender?" The girl wore heavy makeup and couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice became lower and lower.
I heard that there were job introductions, but many people looked around with lowered eyebrows. Just when they got excited, they were poured cold water on their heads.
"Resident singer in a bar or resident singer in a KTV. This is more formal. Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I just passed by Ren'ai Street and saw Zhou Xun's poster. She used to be a resident singer at the Big Rich Nightclub. Well, actually Many celebrities have been resident singers, so there’s really nothing I can’t say.”
Sun Tao turned to look at Li Hu, "Hey, Brother Hu, please keep everyone separate when registering. Don't have seven or eight of our people in a row. People who don't know may think that the competition is reserved for the Huadu Nightclub!"
Li Hu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, if they think that way, it will make us look even more awesome!"
