Ding Yun was so direct that he was not even interested in the increased royalties she could earn by printing half a million copies. This undoubtedly made Editor Zhou who was already prepared to raise another issue once Ding Yun hesitated.

I couldn't help but feel distressed and didn't know how to answer the question.

How can a little girl be so smart?

A normal child of this age.

Shouldn’t everyone be embarrassed to refuse?

"Well...it is indeed our fault this time. In fact, it does not mean that we cannot print 500,000 copies. If we bite the bullet, our martial arts publishing house can still print 500,000 copies of all the next four books.

.

It's just that you have to take a little risk.

Our publishing house has another idea, that is, if you can cooperate with us and promote it, then we will have the confidence to print half a million copies.

And it was sold within a short period of time.”

After hesitating for half a minute, and thinking about the editor's instructions and requests, Editor Zhou could only try to bite the bullet and continue to talk to Ding Yun about what was explained above.

It’s just that it’s up to now.

He still didn't know exactly what happened.

Ding Yun felt particularly unhappy after hearing this, and said bluntly:

"If you are so cowardly and afraid of wolves and tigers, then I won't bother you to publish it, so as not to make you so entangled and embarrassed, or even try your best to trick me. Isn't what I just said clear enough?

Or do you think I'm easy to bully?

If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't make any more roundabout ways with me. If I think it's okay, then I'll agree. If it's not okay, then just refuse.

I don’t think there is any ambiguity in what I said. Now can you tell me what you want to do? If you don’t say it anymore, I think there is no need to say it anymore.”

If you really have any difficulties or want to negotiate, just say so, as long as it's reasonable.

Ding Yun felt that he was still easy to talk to.

And what she hates the most is the current situation, where she doesn't tell her directly when there is something going on and wants to achieve her goal through calculations.

What normal person would want to be plotted against?

"I'm really sorry, it's all my fault.

Then I will say it directly.

Our editor-in-chief wants to learn from the practices of several recently popular magazines in cultivating star writers, so that you can come from behind the scenes to the stage, show your face, reveal your identity, etc.

Several beautiful and handsome writers who are relatively famous recently were probably produced under this model. Their works may not necessarily be very good, but if combined with their good looks and publicity, the actual sales volume will probably be higher than the estimated sales volume.

About twice as high.

Our editor-in-chief thinks this method is quite good.

so……"

Editor Zhou probably didn't expect that Ding Yun would be so difficult to deal with. At this time, he had no choice but to apologize first, and then made it clear that this was all Editor Zhang's intention.

He is just a working man.

"So, it's because I asked you to keep my identity secret before that you went out of your way to do these things in such a complicated way, hoping to make me change my mind.

But why choose me?

Is there no one else in your magazine?"

After hearing this, Ding Yun understood what was going on and why he had to make so many detours.

"Well, there really is no one else.

I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Most of the writers in our magazine are men. Some of the more famous ones are at least thirty or forty years old. Two of them were good-looking when they were young, but now

They have gained weight in middle age and are bald. We can't use photos of them when they were young to deceive people.

Besides, there are only limited photos of them when they were young.

There are two other scattered authors who are good-looking, but their works are very average. It would be good if one of the ten manuscripts submitted is accepted. Not everyone can become a star writer, and at the same time they are good-looking.

At least the work shouldn't be too flattering.

After all, star writers are not stars after all, and they cannot sell junk just by relying on a few photos. Even if they are stars, most of them have to have some works.

Our editor-in-chief thought about it carefully and carefully selected it for a long time before we had to admit that only you are more suitable.

But when you signed the contract with us, you made it clear that you wanted us to keep it confidential. You said you were a student and didn't want to be too ostentatious. The editor-in-chief also told me to find a way to succeed.

That's why I made those stupid moves before.

I’m really sorry…”

In fact, if there were really no other candidates, Editor Zhou would not bother so much. As for other readers of their martial arts magazines, most of them are men. Choosing a beautiful writer can increase sales far more than

If the effect of choosing a handsome writer was good, he just ignored it and didn't mention it deliberately.

After all, it looks like it will fail now.

Why are you bringing these up?

Let’s keep the publishing contract first.

"I can think that you are complimenting me on my beauty, but it is really not convenient for me to show up because I still want to live an ordinary student life for two more years, so let's forget about it. In addition, I will give you another suggestion.

If there is no star writer to launch.

You can definitely put more effort into other aspects, such as the exquisiteness of the books, the book cover illustrations, internal illustrations, and even the typesetting paper.

I think everyone has the pursuit of beauty.

Handsome guys and beauties can attract people, but can’t beautiful book covers or illustrations attract people?

Sometimes you feel that the hardcover version is not easy to sell, maybe it is just because you do not understand the key point, that the paper is better and the hardcover version with a cardboard cover will not attract many people at all."

After all, it was also her first employer. After Ding Yun refused to be a star author, he made a special suggestion to Editor Zhou, which should be a very good suggestion.

"Can you elaborate?"

Editor Zhou still didn't quite understand, but subconsciously he felt that this statement made sense, so he immediately asked.

"Well, actually, it's not easy to generalize.

You should not treat the book as a carrier of stories. You should design it as a work of art. When you see the book, even if you don’t know the name or what is said in it, you will feel that it is a work of art.

This book is really good. It would be great if I bought it back. Can you say that the sales volume will be bad?

Forget it, it’s hard for you to understand when I tell you this.

Please wait a little longer for publishing. I will take the time to make a book design for you, including interior page illustrations, cover illustrations, etc. Even the paper fonts and the like have to be listened to by me. By then you will know that books and books are

It’s different, some books can only be read, and some books can be collected, and you can’t bear to open them once you get them.”

After Ding Yun said a few sentences, he felt that this kind of thing was not easy to explain, so he had to get a sample book for them to see.

And it's best to use it as a sample book.

Of course it's her novel.

Before mentioning this, Ding Yun hadn't paid much attention to the packaging design of books in this world. After mentioning it, she remembered that there were probably only two designs for books in this world, and one was simple and shabby.

There is another kind that gives you a headache when you look at it.

The hardcover version only adds more materials and has no sense of design at all, let alone sophistication.

Now that she had thought of this, Ding Yun certainly didn't want to see her novel published and sold in that state, so she took the opportunity to say that she would take over the publishing of her own books, from material selection to design and printing.
Chapter completed!
