Chapter 57
There was an irreconcilable conflict between fan and original writer. Zhang Chu was so lucky that he hit the gun directly.
Although there are numerous fan works on the novel website or various forum posts, no novel can reach the level of "Detective Sherlock".
The entire network is followed, with a bonus of 500,000 yuan and a promotional and publication by Nanhai Publishing House. This seems to have exceeded the treatment that fans should have, making the so-called original authors jealous.
Most of the authors and readers of mystery novels are young people in their twenties and thirties. They were in their prime. They worked hard to write original novels, but they were scolded by readers even if they had poor sales. They could not make much money at all. No one was dedicated to writing mystery novels.
How many works do you need to write to earn 500,000 yuan?
If calculated based on the manuscript fee of 500 thousand words, it will cost 1 million words!
These word counts may be just an introduction to online novels, but mystery novels require rigor and cannot be fast at all.
Suspicion novels are probably the type that consumes brain cells the most. They require the author to think hard on tricks and logic, and even the atmosphere must be set off. It is a genius-like limit to be able to write two or three books a year, and most authors cannot reach this level.
What's more, not all magazines are so generous with the reasoning of time, and they can directly write 500 words.
The manuscript fees for the reasoning of years are generally between 100 and 200 thousand words, this time it is purely because of the sponsorship funds for Warner Bros.
Money is moving, so it’s not enough to win the top scorer in the college entrance examination, but I also got a 500,000 yuan bonus by writing a fan novel. How can the authors of mystery novels swallow this?
I'm afraid that even a writer of Qin Mu's level would be not easy to earn 500,000 yuan for a book. Unless it can be sold, it is too difficult to rely on book sales alone!
The manuscript fee for a sales of 100,000 copies is only 300,000. The mystery novels are often sold by classic works by foreign writers, and it is common to break through one million.
...
Zhang Chu didn't expect that he was just going back to his hometown, but as soon as he went online, he became a sieve. "Detective Sherlock" did not block others' path at all.
"It must be a big tree that attracts wind. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Qin Mu is really an exaggeration."
Sitting in the courtyard, Zhang Chu put his laptop on his thighs. He began to think about what he should do, and this matter would not allow the system to hack other people's accounts.
Before Zhang Chu could react, Zhang Bowen angrily sent a voice message on WeChat, "This is Qin Mu too much. Your book "Sherlock Detective" should be the pinnacle of fan works. He actually said that you don't have the talent for reasoning. I will return all his works in the bookstore. We won't sell them!"
"No, dad, don't be unable to get along with the business." Zhang Chu quickly persuaded, "If others say I can't write original novels, can't I write them? Who is he?"
Zhang Bowen said seriously, "You can't say anything, he can still rank in our domestic reasoning circle."
"It's not that he said it's bad. I'm an excellent work certified by more than one million netizens."
"Anyway, your mother and I believe you are talented, come on, son."
etc!
After hearing the voice message, Zhang Chu suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he do it?
He quickly turned on the video chat function of WeChat and wanted to ask carefully.
Thumb, the prompt sound repeatedly and was turned on after half a minute.
On the mobile phone screen, Zhang Bowen and Chu Lan and his wife sat together, looking at the camera with a smile on their faces, their eyes full of love.
"Dad, what did you do?"
When Zhang Chu saw the expressions of his parents, he knew that the two of them had made a mistake, and their smiling expressions were too fake.
"Uh..." Zhang Bowen's eyes rolled around. He touched his chin and replied: "I just accepted an interview with the reporter."
“What interview?”
Zhang Chu's attention has gradually decreased. Unexpectedly, he was criticized by Qin Mu and his reputation has increased a lot. Although he has not yet made up for the previous consumption, it is just around the corner to return to a million.
Chu Lan exhaled and she said in a few words: "It's not that your father is willing to suffer because he is not good at your work, and he said you rely on the original work. He talked to the reporters, "Even if my son doesn't write about fanfare, he is the best reasoning writer. By the way, this is an interview with Xin.Nan Education, probably has a great influence, right?"
Others are cheating on their fathers, why does it turn to become a father cheating on their sons?
Zhang Chu looked at the sky sadly, "Dad, what else have you said?"
"It's gone, it's gone." Zhang Bowen waved his hands repeatedly. He originally wanted to fight back by himself, but unfortunately he didn't have enough confidence, so he had to push his son out.
"Actually, Qin Mu is right. I am not a qualified mystery novel author." Zhang Chu said sincerely, "Or we should contact Xinlang Education quickly and tell them not to post news? Let's start a new interview?"
Zhang Bowen glared at his son, "Don't make a fuss, you are not qualified yet? It's obviously written so well, and proper humility is a good thing, but excessive humility is that, you understand."
Zhang Chu suddenly felt internally hurt. The mystery novels he had read were really a handful. He still didn't know what schools of mystery novels were, and he was confused about the most famous writers.
I know my own affairs, Zhang Chu knows that I am definitely not a qualified author of mystery novels, I am just a text porter...
He originally wanted to change and write some popular works after "Detective Sherlock" was published.
"Son, you write well in your hometown to help your dad. We can't compare to him in writing novels, but the children you give birth to are much better than him!"
Zhang Bowen encouraged that he trusted his son who had a lot of trust in the college entrance examination.
Chu Lan on the side was unhappy, "It's just a novel, is it necessary to be so humble? You can write it well, come back after you have finished it, and stay in your hometown if you can't write it well."
Although this is a joke, Zhang Chu still feels betrayed by his own parents.
"Don't think so complicated. Maybe the reporter doesn't care about what you said at all. After all, I am the focus of the interview." Zhang Chu said comfortingly. He had no idea about the storm outside.
"Why do I feel like there is something in your words?"
Zhang Bowen held his chin and thought, always feeling that this was not a good thing.
"Hey hey hey? Are you still here? Why can't I hear you talking?" Zhang Chu deliberately shook his phone, pretending to be looking for a signal, "Is the WiFi off?"
After saying that, he cut off the video chat. He suddenly patted his forehead. His dad really knew how to find something for him.
He said no, but his body was very honest. Zhang Chu liked this type of event the most, and his reputation value gradually accumulated bit by bit.
