Chapter 431 Fame and fortune
Even though the space was small, some people noticed the advertisement, especially those who became loyal readers of Daobi Ke. With their spread of the word, the news that Daobi Ke was going to publish a new book quickly spread.
When the day came for the new book to go on sale, long queues formed in front of several Wanjuan bookstores, just to be the first to buy Daobi Ke’s new book.
Under the enthusiastic offensive of the masses, the first batch of 2,000 copies of "Swords and Swords" were quickly sold out.
Liang Chaoqun took advantage of the victory and released the second and third batches of "Swords and Swords" one after another, successfully helping the book break through the circle and enter the vision of more people.
At the same time, with the help of time and resources, Daobi Ke's first novel was qualified for sale in Quanzhou City.
Liang Chaoqun invited Lin Wuyou to Wanjuanshu, informed her of the latest performance of the two books, and settled the dividend rewards and breaking circle rewards for her for the new month. Then he prepared to start urging the progress of the new book.
As usual, Liang Chaoqun flattered Lin Wuyou, and when he felt that the time was right, he started to get to the point.
"How is the preparation for your next book going? What's the subject matter? A novella or a short story? When do you plan to publish it?"
Lin Wuyou was somewhat helpless. "Writing a book is not like cutting leeks. After cutting one crop, another crop will grow immediately. It depends on inspiration. At least in the short term, I don't plan to continue publishing books."
Liang Chaoqun frowned immediately, and he advised carefully: "I know you need inspiration for writing, but the problem is that you are developing rapidly now. You should seize the opportunity and continue to produce works to consolidate your readership. Let the pen name "Daobi Ke" become a golden sign. In this way, no matter how many works you publish in the future, there will be people who will pay for the three words "Daobi Ke". Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Wuyou nodded, "I know you are doing this for my own good. I also want to keep producing good works, but this kind of thing can't be rushed. I can apply the common routines now and write a lot of follow-up works. I can write as many as you want."
"But I don't want to be like this. I want to be a writer with my own independent style. I want everyone who buys my works to feel that they are getting good value for money. I want every article I publish to be the work I am most satisfied with at the moment. I have my own pursuits and plans, so I can only say sorry to you."
Liang Chaoqun was silent for a long time before he let out a breath. "You don't have to apologize to me. I should apologize to you. I was too eager for quick success and didn't consider your feelings. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to be like this. We just have different ideas. You have done nothing wrong to me." Lin Wuyou looked at Liang Chaoqun seriously and sincerely.
Being stared at like this, Liang Chaoqun felt even more ashamed. He said to Lin Wuyou solemnly, "We all have our own scales in our hearts to judge right from wrong. Let's not continue to argue about this issue. Let's get back to the issue of publishing a book. I respect your choice, so how long do you plan to take to publish a new book?"
Lin Wuyou had thought about this question at home, so he answered it smoothly, "The specific time is not fixed. I can only guarantee that I will publish a new book every six months to a year."
"So long?" Liang Chaoqun smacked his lips.
"Well, the works now are just for practice, to prepare for the long works in the future. I am still young, my writing skills are not good enough, and my experience is not enough. It is easy to encounter many problems if I try to write a long work now. I plan to overcome these problems slowly, so that readers can truly feel my progress through each new work."
When Lin Wuyou spoke, his tone was full of longing and his eyes were bright, as if they were filled with stars.
Liang Chaoqun could no longer say any words of comfort when he saw Lin Wuyou like this. He knew that Lin Wuyou was a man with aspirations, and what he sought was not immediate benefits but a long-term future.
He has been worn down by life and can only see money, so why would he bother to pull a little girl like this into this world of fame and fortune too early?
Just do as she says and let her try. Maybe she can create a miracle and let him witness the rise of a new literary star with his own eyes.
Liang Chaoqun let out a long sigh. "Since you have made up your mind, I will not say any more. Just follow your own plan. I have a minimum target of five new books published every year, and correspondingly, I also have five strong exposure recommendation resources."
"We, the store managers, can decide on these five strong exposure recommendation resources and allocate them to new books published that year. I will reserve one of the spots for you, and you must guarantee to submit a high-quality work to me every year for publishing. If the quality of the work is lower than expected, I will be angry!"
Lin Wuyou's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "I promise to complete the task!"
After making an agreement with Liang Chaoqun, Lin Wuyou kept her promise and provided a new work to Wanjuanshu every year. The length of her works also transitioned from novellas to medium-length works and then to novels.
Along with the number of words in his works, the popularity of his pen name "Daobike" and the sales of his works have also increased.
The profit-sharing contract enjoyed by Daobi Ke today is the highest level contract among the many contracts signed by Wanjuanshu. For every copy of Daobi Ke's work sold, Daobi Ke himself, Lin Wuyou, can take 40% of the profit.
Daobi Ke's works have undergone several rounds of market verification, and have gradually transitioned from being first released in counties to being distributed nationwide, enjoying the best publicity resources right from the very beginning.
As the exclusive contact person of Daobi Ke, Liang Chaoqun also took advantage of Lin Wuyou's favorable situation and rose rapidly to become the general manager of Qingzhou District of Wanjuanshu, gaining both fame and fortune.
As a writer herself, Lin Wuyou has achieved financial freedom at a young age. As long as Wanjuanshu does not go bankrupt, she can continue to reap the dividends from her works.
Even if she stops writing and retires from the entertainment industry and does nothing, she doesn't have to worry about having no money in the future.
The most crucial thing is that Lin Wuyou’s personal information has always been well protected. Except for Liang Chaoqun and his close family members, no one else knows that Lin Wuyou is the real Daobi Ke.
She could use Lin Wuyou's original identity without any scruples, travel all over the country with Lu Lu Tong's team, see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and experience all kinds of life.
During those years she was away from home, Lin Wuyou not only realized her dream of becoming a female knight, but also accumulated a variety of materials for her own works, making the themes of her works richer and the content more meaningful.
