Chapter 330 Single Volume

February 15th.

That is, the eighth day of the Chinese New Year.

Luoyang and Liu Qin packed their things and took the high-speed train to Tiandu.

The atmosphere of the New Year was still lingering everywhere, and people were saying Happy New Year to each other. When Luoyang and Liu Qin arrived in Tiandu, the atmosphere of the New Year had not subsided at all.

In the apartment, Hua Qi and Amber had arrived first.

Luoyang opened the door, and when he and Liu Qin entered the room, they just bumped into Hua Qi who was holding a computer in her arms.

"Boss, you and Sister Qin..."

Hua Qi hesitated to speak, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Luoyang and Liu Qin - on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Liu Qin had asked Hua Qi for Luoyang's specific address. Now the two of them were in Tiandu at the same time, which inevitably aroused reverie.

Luoyang gave her a slap without hesitation: "Happy New Year."

Hua Qi rubbed her slightly aching little head, and her simple expression was indescribably aggrieved.

Amber smiled gloatingly: "Boss, your way of greeting the New Year is really unique."

Luoyang stretched out his hand and pretended to do it to her, which scared Amber and she quickly hid behind Liu Qin: "I won't gossip like Hua Qi. We are professionals and won't have unprofessional questions."

"Since you are so professional, the studio will start working now." Luoyang asked.

"Everyone has started working, but after all, it's the first day, and we haven't officially entered the state yet. Amber and I didn't force anything to say. Let's give them some buffer time." Speaking of work, Hua Qi's face was full of seriousness.

Luoyang heard it and nodded gently.

Hua Qi said again: "There is one more thing, boss, I have set the work plan for the beginning of this year. The first thing the studio has to do is to publish your martial arts single volume."

The so-called martial arts single volume-

This is a form of book publishing. The content is mostly a collection of works by the same author or the same type that have been published in other media or have never been published in one book.

Of course, there is a simpler statement.

That is, print out the two books "Xiao Shiyilang" and "The Sentimental Swordsman" separately and sell them in bookstores.

Luoyang naturally has no objection to this, and book fans have no objection, because for many book fans, buying a book they like and collecting it in their own bookcases is a very meaningful thing.

But this behavior can not make much profit, and the sales volume will not be particularly high.

The reason is very simple. Most people have read these two works through magazines and the Internet.

It is undoubtedly not easy to expect readers to consume the things they have read for the second time, but it is better than nothing. However, this matter has a more important meaning for Luoyang.

This more important meaning is physical books!

Since Luoyang entered the physical industry, all his works have been published in the form of magazine serials.

He has never published a real physical work, so these two martial arts single books will be the first and second physical books in Luoyang's life.

Only when he has his own physical book can Luoyang hold things like signing events. Moreover, with his current status, if he doesn't even have a physical book, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Other writers can give each other their own physical books when they make friends.

When Luoyang makes friends with others, he can't just give away six consecutive issues of "Ta Jiang Hu" magazine, right?

First of all, the prestige has dropped a bit, so for Luoyang, the sales of single-volume books are secondary. The biggest purpose of physical books and martial arts single-volume books, in the final analysis, is six words: to improve prestige and qualifications.

"The physical book can be put on the agenda. Have you set the time?"

"It has been set. The physical book will be completed in March."

"Okay." Luoyang nodded. As an assistant, Hua Qi considered these things more comprehensively than Luoyang.

"Also, boss, "Ta Jiang Hu" has received many submissions now, including two manuscripts from famous martial arts writers. Please come and review them yourself." Hua Qi thought for a while and added.

Except for the sixth issue, "Ta Jiang Hu" has serialized five works.

Now after six issues, two books have been completed, and the magazine must find two more works to make up for it.

The studio received countless submissions, including works by two martial arts masters, Luzhou Strange Uncle and Libie Ranran.

These two are the ones who showed the most goodwill to Luoyang among the martial arts masters. Luoyang naturally gave them face and nodded: "Okay, send me their works."

After that, Luoyang entered his study.

Liu Qin, who had been silent, also hooked her finger at Hua Qi: "Little Amber, let's start working too."

Amber nodded immediately. She was Liu Qin's agent. Although she occasionally helped Hua Qi manage Luoyang's studio, the focus of her work was definitely on Liu Qin.

Especially with the opportunity of Liu Qin's new album selling well, Luoyang Studio made a lot of money.

Unfortunately, Luoyang Studio does not have its own distribution channel. The album distribution is in cooperation with a large-scale music company, otherwise the benefits can be even greater.

...

In the study, Luoyang is reviewing the works of Luzhou Strange Uncle.

The new book by the Weird Uncle from Luzhou is called "The Demonic Young Master". It tells the story of a street gangster who gradually becomes a super powerful man who is both good and evil, and influences the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

Because it was just the beginning and the outline, Luoyang finished reading it in just over ten minutes.

After reading it, Luoyang had only one feeling, that is, it was cool. The martial arts of Luzhou Weird Uncle had a taste of online literature, which Luoyang appreciated very much.

Then he looked at the new book sent by Libie Ranran: "Liuliyue".

The story told by this book "Liuliyue" is about a wild man from the mountains and the love story of Liuliyue, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. The writing is exquisite and beautiful, and it is quite touching.

It was also the beginning, plus the outline.

Luoyang couldn't help but think of a famous movie about a beauty and a beast falling in love.

After reading both submitted works, Luoyang nodded with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The work submitted by Luzhou Weird Uncle still follows the path of evil martial arts. The beginning is quite novel, the content is very refreshing, and it is obviously a good breakthrough from his previous works.

And this new book "Liuliyue" by Libie Ranran

This is a martial arts work centered on love. The words are filled with the delicate taste unique to female authors. The love between the beauty and the wild man is also very touching and unique.

"As expected of a famous martial arts writer..."

The works sent by these two people are of high quality.

So Luoyang made a big decision to let these two works land on "Ta Jianghu" to fill the gaps of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" and "Xiao Shiyilang".

(Because my uncle is having a birthday today, he drank until one o'clock in the morning before coming back. I will write one chapter first and continue writing when I wake up.)
