Perfect Superstar

“Good morning, Director Lu! ”

The beautiful receptionist bowed down and the sweet voice made Lu Chen look at her once more.

Lu Chen Studio's reception desk had always been Xiaomei's sister. She had recently turned Lu Xi's assistant, which was greatly upgraded. This reception desk was newly recruited.

At that time, Lu Chen happened to go to Xiangjiang. The news of the recruitment of the new reception desk was reportedly released. The beautiful women who came to apply were constantly interpreted and the competition was fierce.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see it, but the carefully selected new hire was definitely eye-catching.

Lu Morning nodded: “Morning. ”

Although he created the studio, the position of general manager was always held by Lu Xi. Lu Chen himself was a music director and is now an art director.

He asked, "What's your name? ”

The receptionist smiled sweetly: "My name is Wang Yali, just call me Xiaoli. ”

“Director Lu, Manager Zhang of Shanhai Press is waiting for you in the reception room, are you meeting him in the office, or? ”

Lu Chen said: “I'll go see him directly. ”

Shanhai Publishing House, one of the top 10 private publishing houses in the country, is headquartered in Beijing City. When Lu Chen published the novel "Blue Love for Life and Death", the publishing house took the copyright at a high price of 15% royalty + 500,000.

Later, the novel version of "Romantic Mansion" was also collaborated with Mountain Sea Press.

So far, Lu Chen's two long novels together have sold more than 5 million copies. As a film and television drama adaptation, the results are very bright. Leaving aside the influence of the work itself, Shanhai Publishing House is equally successful.

So in the cooperation list of Lu Chen Studio, Shanhai Publishing House is the first sequence.

Zhang Yaocheng and Lu Chen, the manager of Shanhai Publishing House, knew each other. The deputy general manager and editor-in-chief personally came to the studio to wait for Lu Chen. Of course, Lu Chen had to come and receive him personally.

“Manager Zhang, long time no see! ”

In the reception room, Lu Chen saw Zhang Yaocheng again, an elegant middle-aged man.

Zhang Yaocheng and Lu Chen shook hands tightly and smiled: “Director Lu, you are a busy man, trying to find you is not easy! ”

Lu Chen Shamed: “I've been preparing for a movie in Xiangjiang lately. It's just a lack of separation. ”

Zhang Yaocheng said: "This time, let's just settle the contract! ”

Lu Chen nodded: “Okay. ”

Until then, Zhang Yaocheng introduced Lu Chen to a young woman he had brought: “This is Zhou Lu, my assistant editor, who is the editor of Laughter River and Lake. ”

Lu Chen nodded at each other and smiled: "Hello. ”

“Hello... ”

Zhou Lu, in her 20s, had a common appearance and wore thick glasses. In the face of Lu Chen, she was obviously a little panicked. She tried to reach back and shrink. Her face rose red.

Lu Chen smiled. “Thank you very much. Let's talk in the office. ”

“Okay!”

Zhang Yaocheng, of course, had no objection. He glanced at Zhou Lu in a loud voice. He hated iron and steel a little.

He brought his nephew here today to meet the world, meet Lu Chen, a young man with unlimited prospects, and expand his vision and connections.

I didn't expect Zhou Lu to behave so poorly and have no confidence in her normal work.

It can only be said that Lu Chen's charm is too great, or the halo is too bright, making it impossible for a young girl like Zhou Lu to remain calm and accommodating.

After Lu Chen's office was seated, Zhou Lu finally reacted, removing a thick stack of books from the briefcase he was carrying. A total of five books were placed in front of Lu Chen.

Zhang Yaocheng explained: "This is a sample book specially made by our publishing house. The book title was written by the famous calligrapher Fu Guangyuan, and was also invited by Director Lu for visual review. ”

Lu Chen picked up the top book and carefully weighed it.

Although it's just a sample book, it's basically not much different from the officially published book. The color laser print has a very high cover resolution. The four big black letters of "Laughing Awesome River and Lake” are strong and powerful, showing the writer's remarkable work, and the pen is swept across the edge of a few unrestrained river and lake maniacs.

Lu Chen was very satisfied.

"Laughter River Lake" is the test water for Lu Chen's IP program. In May and June this year, he studied the first online edition of the book in the waves under the pen name "Remembering Now Ancient”.

At the beginning, Laughter River and Lake was a hit, with very few clicks, favorites, and readers' comments.

But when Lu Chen continued to update to more than 200,000 words, the book scored much better, more and more readers liked the book, and was invited to sign a contract with the bookstore.

Of course, Lu Chen is unlikely to sign "Laughter River and Lake" to the wave reading, and later slowed down the update, and when it accumulated to 500,000 words, suspended the update and published the announcement.

At this time, the collection of Laughter River and Lake has surpassed 30,000 + books in the waves!

Unlike movies or television, the reputation of a good book takes time to accumulate and brew, such as wine in the cellar, the longer it takes to aromatize.

Now that the fire is almost over, Lu Chen launched it to the market through official publication and then properly operated it, paving the way for a series of future works such as "Heroes of Sculpture", "The Eight Heavenly Dragons" and so on.

This set of Laughter River Lake has a total of five volumes, the full text is about a million words, the book design and frame are ancient fragrance, the text is well typeset, the Mountain Sea Press is undoubtedly very attentive.

When Lu Chen reviewed the sample book, Zhang Yaocheng's heart was also not calm.

When Lu Chen Studios brought the manuscript, the publishers were controversial about the specific terms of the contract, as the author of "Laughing Ao River Lake" had no reputation in the circle and had no previous work.

Books like this are definitely risky, and royalties are easy to lose if divided + guaranteed.

But Zhang Yaocheng read Laughter River and Lake and learned that after the wave of reader feedback, he persevered in signing the contract according to the treatment of the highest level author.

This is not only the need to continue to cooperate well with Lu Chen's studio, but more importantly, Zhang Yaocheng has a strong interest in this Wu-Man novel. The sensitivity of his profession tells him that there is definitely a place in the market for reading traditional books.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Chen returned from Xiangjiang, he visited the house at the first hour and sent a carefully prepared sample book to ensure that the publishing contract could be taken down.

Zhang Yaocheng believes that his sincerity is sufficient to achieve this cooperation.

And in fact, he wasn't disappointed.
