Li Ye did not become "Shuo Ye". He used his own strength to break the shackles of the industry on the spot, winning a pioneering precedent for "printing the royalties" for the majority of writers.

But after several ties with Lanhai Publishing House, he finally pried open a gap in the contract and added an additional clause that seemed unrealized.

[The number of printed novels reaches more than 500,000 copies. According to relevant regulations, the author's copy will be paid at a basic manuscript fee of 5% per 10,000 copies.]

The number of prints of 500,000 volumes is really nothing in the era decades later, but in the early 1980s, it could be said to be an astronomical figure for a new writer.

"Legends of the Contemporary and the Contemporary" founded in 1981 sold more than 2.7 million copies in five years, making it the number one in literary journals.

But it is a journal, and the circulation of each issue is less than 100,000 copies. This is still the high sales brought about by word of mouth for several years.

At that time, many novels were published in each edition, with thousands of volumes, and tens of thousands of volumes in a minority.

As for the phenomenon that "The Siege" has sold over one million copies in the past ten years of reprinting, no one thinks it can match Li Ye.

Who is the author of "The Siege"? Who is you, Li Ye?

A newcomer, even if the content of "The Hidden" is good, can it be compared with the classic "The Siege"? It is a dream to make a sales volume of more than 500,000 copies.

Of course, Lanhai Publishing House also did some calculations, and a novel is priced at nearly two yuan.

Even if Li Ye breaks out of the sales volume of 500,000 copies in a big frenzy, their profit will reach 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.

Even if other colleagues accuse Lan Hai of breaking the rules, Lan Hai can still come up with an indisputable reason - if you want to accuse me, you can print 500,000 copies first.

Well, this is how Dong Yuejin told Dahe Publishing House straightforwardly.

Gentleman followed the pulling process between Dong Yuejin and Li Ye throughout the whole process, and continued to try to intercept the lord halfway.

But unfortunately, he did not have the responsibility of Dong Yuejin, and the Dahe Publishing House behind him did not have the courage of Lanhai Publishing House. In the end, not only did not impress Li Ye, but instead stimulated Dong Yuejin to become more excited and signed an exception contract "impulsively".

So when Li Ye went to the station to see Dong Yuejin farewell, the latter held Li Ye's hand tightly and said, "Student Li Ye, we are now considered grasshoppers on the same line. If you become popular, I will definitely benefit from it. If you are alas."

Li Ye was also a little embarrassed. To be honest, Dong Yuejin is not bad, and he is the kind that is worth making friends with.

So Li Ye said: "If this book is not popular, I will write another book for you, the friendship price."

"Write another book?"

Dong Yuejin became interested in an instant and asked, "Do you have any ideas now? What type of things?"

【I have more ideas.】

Li Ye thought about it and asked Dong Yuejin: "What type of novel do you want? I can do history, love, and science fiction."

""

Dong Yuejin didn't know how to respond. If he hadn't been familiar with Li Ye's "arrogance" these days, he would have spitted on his face.

What kind of novels do we want, and historical love science fiction, do you think you are a chameleon? You can change your skin by shaking your head?

But Dong Yuejin finally said: "Marriage is quite popular now, can you write it?"

Li Ye pursed his lips, saying, "I am really not good at martial arts."

Dong Yuejin's eyes were like "I'll expose you to brag about your pen."

Li Ye is really not good at martial arts, because when he swept the list in order to write online articles, martial arts had already declined.

The times are progressing, and readers' tastes are also progressing.

You Guo Jing has made a move, and it’s fine if you let Yang Guo do it again, but if you let Xiao Yan play the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm again, is this martial arts worth enough? Then you have to destroy the world!

The process of the development of popular novels is the drama of the next wave shooting the previous wave. No matter how classic masterpieces are, they also make readers feel numb and tired.

"There is still some time before departure, let's talk about history!"

Dong Yue still gave Li Ye a face and changed the topic.

"I see that some martial arts writings on Hong Kong Island are related to history. The author will use the historical background to promote the feelings of family and country.

I read a sentence at that time, 'The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people', which is very touching."

Li Ye: [In this situation, it is not suitable to talk about "The Legend of Qin"!]

Listening to Dong Yuejin talking, Li Ye pondered the appropriate work and finally chose a more meaningful novel - "Flying the North Wind".

"In terms of history, I have a way of thinking for the time being," Li Ye asked Dong Yuejin: "Editor Dong, do you know the Battle of Talas?"

"The Battle of Talas?"

Dong Yuejin recalled carefully and slowly shook his head.

Li Ye patiently explained: "The Battle of Talas was a battle between the Tang Empire and the Alabo Empire, which were also at their peak in 751 AD. During their respective expansions, it was a large-scale collision between the two major empires in the East and the West at that time."

The story of "Flying the North Wind" is actually not complicated. It is the descendant of the loser of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, who was exiled to the west of the Pamir Mountains, and then participated in the famous Battle of Talas.

If it were just a simple description of war, Li Ye did not highly recommend this novel.

However, after the Tang Dynasty's power disappeared from the Western Regions, the male protagonist still led the remnants of the Tang Dynasty to fight, allowing the Tang Dynasty's flag to fly in the surrounding Western Regions for decades.

The story of the lonely army in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is a bitter and tragic song, but it is also an epic that is worth remembering forever.

However, after listening to Li Ye's narration, Dong Yuejin was not very moved.

He asked Li Ye: "What do you want to express if you write a novel according to this idea?"

Li Ye stretched out his finger and pointed solemnly at the land beneath his feet.

"I want to do my best to let more people understand how powerful this land was once."

""

Dong Yuejin was suddenly stunned, as if something was passing by in his mind.

Li Ye asked: "Editor Dong, have you ever been exposed to imported goods? Is it easy to use?"

Dong Yuejin nodded: "It's easy to use after contacting it."

Li Ye asked again: "Editor Dong, do you know that going abroad is a hot topic?"

Dong Yuejin nodded again: "I know that now a quota for studying abroad can make couples turn against each other and brothers become enemies."

Li Ye asked again: "Editor Dong, do you think the West is better or our land is better?"

""

Dong Yuejin didn't say anything.

Li Ye asked again: "Editor Dong, do you think that as we have more and more contact with the outside world, will the people's confidence in our land increase or decrease?"

"this"

Dong Yuejin didn't know how to answer.

Because of the port city, his island city has much more contact with the outside world than in the mainland.

Nowadays, people who have seen the West almost all recognize that the West is better, and according to this trend, this awareness will be stronger in the future.

Even Dong Yuejin himself believed that the West is superior in all aspects than his own.

This kind of consciousness is still hidden and tucked away by others, but it can be foreseen that it will be openly popular in the near future.

"Li Ye, what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Ye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "I want to say that in the next period of time, we may be subject to a strong ideological impact.

Many people will despise the land under our feet, despise our former ancestors and glory, and think that this nation that has nourished us for thousands of years is useless to lag behind."

What Li Ye said is true.

During his previous life, the phenomenon of admiring sheep and fascinating foreign countries lasted for a long time.

But decades later, when the most powerful bipolar forces on this planet began to "challenge" again, Li Ye and others suddenly realized that this Dragon Kingdom was still so great and powerful.

It can be said that because of his advanced vision and experience, Li Ye has completely different vision and views from people of this era.

Li Ye looked up at Dong Yuejin and chuckled, "Actually, my original intention of writing novels is for money, but I still want to make some meaningful contributions while making money."

"Our nation has been standing on the top of the world for thousands of years, with its power radiating thousands of miles. Now it is just a brief silence and decline,"

"I think that an excellent author has the responsibility and obligation to promote the history and culture of our nation and let readers know how powerful we were,

Let readers be proud and proud of their identity as the descendants of the dragon, rather than feeling disgusted, sad.”

This is Li Ye’s personal idea.

No matter how outrageous or weird the online articles in later generations are, most of them will stick to a belief that we are strong, we are awesome, and we have great hope.

It is true that there are all kinds of sufferings in life, but instead of grasping the little sufferings and self-moaning, why not run towards the beauty?

Although everyone knows that they are not Long Aotian, no one wants to live as Xu Fugui.

Looking at Dong Yuejin, who was confused and Li Ye, who had written a million-word novel, felt that his word accumulation was so scarce that he could not express his beliefs in his heart to the other party.

However, Dong Yuejin felt Li Ye's emotions and developed obvious ideological resonance.

Cultural people are very easy to be emotional.

He grabbed Li Ye's hand and pulled it outside the station.

"Ah, Editor Dong, where are you going? The car is about to drive."

"I won't leave, I have to talk to you about him for three days and three nights."

""

...

Dong Yuejin really talked with Li Ye for three days and three nights, so Li Ye was a little scared - I wouldn't give birth to an XX fighter, right?
