Chapter 243 Concession

Twelve thousand words.

I still remember that when I signed a contract with Weibo for "The Days of Living with a Stewardess", the price was 5,000 for 1,000 words. Unknowingly, Luoyang was already qualified to quote 12,000 for 1,000 words.

It has more than doubled in size.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

As the youngest martial arts master, plus the honor of being the number one writer on the Internet, it is not unacceptable to quote a higher price.

Besides, this is only the average price of famous martial arts masters in the Dragon Kingdom. Naturally, Hua Qi will not make a mistake. She only set the price of 12,000 words per thousand words after checking the prices of dozens of other famous martial arts masters.

This price is right on the average for martial arts masters.

In other words, this is the reason why countless martial arts novel authors want to become famous. If they break through this shackles, they can fly like fish in the sky and birds can fly. From then on, their status will undergo earth-shaking changes, and their royalties will also skyrocket.

The female editor named Yang Qing adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose again.

Then she smiled and said: "Twelve thousand, to be honest, the price is a bit high. Although Teacher Luo is a famous martial arts master, his qualifications are still young after all, and his works only include one novella, "Seven Weapons". "

Luoyang said nothing and waited quietly for Yang Qing's next words.

"Well, we trust Teacher Luo's level. Although we only read the introduction, it must be a wonderful martial arts film. How about the price of ten thousand words for a thousand words?" Editor Yang said with a smile.

Luo Dashan frowned.

Although he is now the editor of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", his heart is always towards his nephew.

The quoted price of 12,000 words per thousand words is not outrageous. As for the price of 10,000 words per thousand words, it is the lowest price among martial arts masters. Could it be said that Luoyang belongs to the lowest price among martial arts masters?

He was a little upset and quietly shook his head at Luoyang, hoping that Luoyang would not agree.

Hua Qi also frowned slightly, but did not speak. As an assistant, she could only give advice and would not make decisions for Luoyang.

Everyone's eyes stayed on Luoyang until Luoyang smiled gently and said one word with a smile:

"good."

"Refreshing man!"

Editor-in-chief Yang Qing couldn't help but smile with joy. She thought Luoyang would still compete for this price, but she didn't expect that the other party would make the final decision so readily.

It seems that bringing Luo Dashan, the second uncle from Luoyang, here is very useful.

She even couldn't help but think greedily... If she said the price of a thousand words or eight thousand, would it be possible to succeed?

Yang Qing guessed correctly, Luoyang really agreed to this price because of Luo Dashan's face. He was not short of money, so it was not an exaggeration to take this opportunity to give his second uncle a little help, so even though the other party suddenly lowered the remuneration a lot, he still Didn't say much.

However, the contract is still going through the process. The two parties have just reached a verbal agreement and agreed to officially sign the contract next week.

——————————

After the people from "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" left, Luo Dashan quietly turned back alone.

"Second uncle, haven't you gone back? We just happened to have dinner together at noon."

After Luoyang saw Luo Dashan, his expression showed no surprise, and he said with a smile.

"You kid must have calculated that I will come back."

Luo Dashan said angrily, then frowned and said: "Yang Qing was here just now, and I couldn't talk. The price of ten thousand words per thousand words is a bit low. You don't have to agree to it for me."

Luoyang said: "To me, there is not much difference between a thousand words and ten thousand."

"Why isn't it big?"

Luo Dashan stared, a little angry.

"It's not about money, it's about status."

"Do you know why many stars are unwilling to reduce their pay to appear in TV or movies? Sometimes it's not for money, but for status!"

"One has a worth and one has a status! You are worth 12,000 or even 13,000, why would you accept a price of 10,000 and lower your status for nothing?"

"If you accept this price, it means you believe that you are worth this price. Then people will think that Luoyang is at the bottom among martial arts masters. Do you know?"

Luo Dashan was a little excited and said a lot in one breath.

Luoyang laughed and said: "Actually, status is not a matter of urgency."

Naturally, he understood what the second uncle said, and the reasoning behind it was not difficult to understand, but what Luoyang was thinking about was... when he won the classic award of the times in the future, even if he didn't charge a penny for his writing, he would still be respected by others. gods.

"Confused."

Luo Dashan still shook his head, but actually he was more moved.

Luoyang is fully qualified to get a price of 12,000 or even 13,000 words for a thousand words, but for his second uncle, he didn't even negotiate the price and let others set the price.

Luoyang comforted: "Actually, it's not what you think, second uncle, and I'm not without a bottom line. If her offer is less than ten thousand words per thousand words, I won't be able to accept it."

Ten thousand words per thousand words, although a little low, is still the price of a famous martial arts master, so Luoyang doesn't want to care about that much, as long as it's not too bad, he will accept it.

Luo Dashan could only nod silently.

At noon, Luoyang brought his second uncle to the restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, Luo Dashan couldn't help but drink a little more and said, "The results will be out in the next few days. I wonder if our martial arts novels have any hope of being recognized by literary awards such as Time Classics!"

"What, you're still not sure about this?" Luoyang asked curiously.

Second uncle is the editor of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu". Naturally, he knows more about the major events in the industry than himself.

"Wang Tianquan, the founder of Xia Mi Tribe, one of the three major online forums, his father is the famous martial arts master Wang Sou Wang, but unfortunately Wang has passed away. Wang's wish before his death was to have martial arts recognized by Longguo culture. Wang Tianquan has been working hard for martial arts to be included in Longguo's cultural map for half his life for his father's last wish. This time, martial arts has the opportunity to be included in the classics of the times, which is also the result of Wang Tianquan's operation."

When the second uncle finished speaking, Luoyang couldn't help but sigh.

He also felt awe for the man named Wang Tianquan.

For the sake of his father's last wish, doing something that has no benefits in return is really admirable.

Luo Dashan took a bite of the meal and continued: "The classics of the times are still under review. It is said that the reviewers have different opinions. Some are willing to recognize the cultural status of martial arts, while others are still unwilling to give in, believing that martial arts are not worthy of being in the upper class."

"This matter is probably done." Luoyang said.

Since it has been published in the newspaper, it means that there are more people willing to accept it. Since ancient times, the minority has been subject to the majority.

"Maybe, so it seems that many martial arts masters have heard the news and moved. There are a total of 50 martial arts masters in Longguo, including you. If all of them go out, I'm afraid it will really usher in the real heyday of martial arts."

When he said this, Luo Dashan's face flushed.

The declining martial arts are making waves again, and the heyday is about to begin. For a martial arts novel editor like him, it is undoubtedly a very exciting thing.

Luoyang frowned and said, "But I haven't seen any news about other martial arts masters."

Luo Dashan shook his head and said, "Those people are very smart. There was a rumor in the industry that martial arts might be included in the classics of the times. Once this news came out, martial arts quickly declined. The reason may be here."

Luoyang was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"The classics of the times are the lifelong pursuit of many top writers. If these guys want to compete for this award, how can it be easy without one or two real classic martial arts? So they haven't released any new works in the past few years. They are all dormant, ready to work hard once, and wait for the award to be determined, and then come to kill with one blow."

When Luo Dashan said this, he was more or less disdainful.

If these martial arts masters hadn't stayed out, martial arts wouldn't have declined so quickly.

Luoyang also understood this time: "It turns out that there was a rumor a long time ago, so they all hid their big moves."

No wonder... No wonder there are as many as fifty martial arts masters in Longguo, but few have released new works in recent years.

I feel like I have already prepared for this, waiting to use the works I have accumulated over the years to impact the classic award of the era.

If this is the case, isn’t it a bit insufficient for me to just use "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" to compete with them? After all, those martial arts masters have been dormant for a long time, who knows if there will be any works that are beyond the ordinary...
