Chapter 126: Negotiation

   Shen Xin took two sips of porridge and calmed down.

   "That... are you sure you won't be cheated?"

   "No. It is a relatively large light novel magazine and should have a reputation." Xi Muhan said.

   "How old is it?" Shen Xin asked.

   "It's bigger than the current "NewWorld"." Xi Muhan explained.

   "……"

   Even if it is advertised, the sales volume of "NewWorld" is not in the top ten of domestic comic magazines.

   "The magazine is called "The Lightest Language", has Brother Xin heard of it?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

  Shen Xin shook his head slightly. He only knew about the three major magazines, and he hadn't paid much attention to novel magazines.

   "Single-issue sales are one million, right? But the editor said, I want to try the water with a short story."

   Shen Xin nodded, a novel magazine with one million copies is already very good.

   The difficulty of short stories lies in how to tell a complex story simple, and the difficulty of novels lies in how to not lose control of the novel after the novel is written long.

   The difference between the two is quite obvious.

   "Then what do you prepare?" Shen Xin asked.

   "A fairy tale. Generally speaking, it is to rearrange our story." Xi Muhan said.

   "We? You mean we...couldn't it be just you and me?" Shen Xin's eyelids twitched twice.

   Although he didn't have that experience, he knew from his previous memories how painful the host and Xi Muhan had been.

   Since Xi Muhan actively wanted to write about the past, he should have walked out of the shadows.

   "Well, that's what we...behind."

   "Ahem...Sister, there seems to be nothing wrong between us." Shen Xin reminded quickly.

   "Huh?" Xi Muhan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood what Shen Xin said, his face flushed instantly, "Brother Xin, what are you talking nonsense? I mean, how do we overcome difficulties."

   Even if it doesn’t, you don’t have to refute it so quickly, right?

   Xi Muhan glanced at Shen Xin, a little unhappy.

   "No, I just remind you a little bit, it's best not to write it in everyday writing."

   "Why?" Xi Muhan asked.

   "If it's too plain, no one will watch it... You can also ask the editors, they are more experienced, and you should be right to hear them." Shen Xin did not dare to say his "experiential talk."

   If a web author changes a website, he may be obliterated, not to mention that he has changed the world now. Besides, he doesn't know what novels are popular in this world.

   "Well. I will ask after I finish writing."

   Looking at Xi Muhan with a serious face, Shen Xin couldn't disturb her enthusiasm, so he nodded, and finally reminded him that he must not fall behind in study, and after the third year of high school, he can no longer write novels.

   "I just want to prove myself. During high school, I can write a maximum of 100,000 or 200,000 characters." Xi Muhan promised.

   Shen Xin is currently busy with "Y\'s", and has no time to take care of Xi Muhan, so he can only hope that the little girl has her word.

   "By the way, have you been in contact with Ji-senpai recently?"

   After drinking the porridge, Shen Xin thought of Ji Yinxuan.

   To negotiate with Song Tai tomorrow, there is a certain probability that Ji Yinxuan will be involved. If she has time, everyone can sit down and talk together, and there will always be a good result.

   "Sister Xuan? There is a connection. She is very busy. It is said that she wants to make the game at the end of the year and promote it in the first half of next year. Before graduating from university, the game will be released."

"is it?"

   Shen Xin doesn't understand the production process of the game, but it is definitely more cumbersome than drawing comics. Moreover, Ji Yinxuan will graduate next year, and the time will definitely be tight.

   "What's the matter? Do you want me to ask her for you?"

   "No, I have her phone." Shen Xin shook his head, but felt that the little girl's eyesight was not good, and opened her brow slightly, "What's the matter?"

   "No. Sister Xuan is very busy, if there is nothing wrong, it is best not to disturb her." Xi Muhan kindly reminded her.

Huh? Didn't you still want to help me ask?

   Shen Xin was confused, but didn't think much.

   Whether to ask Ji Yinxuan for help can only be determined after he talks with Song Tai.

   I hope that the old president will not make things difficult for him tomorrow.

   Shen Xin thought to himself.

   The next day, Shen Xin did not go to his studio, but went directly to the "NewWorld" magazine.

   This time no longer a group of people sitting in the conference room like before, but only two people, Shen Xin and Song Tai.

   "Congratulations."

   After Shen Xin entered the door, Song Tai smiled.

   "Tongxi." Shen Xin nodded slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Song Tai squeezed the bridge of his nose and pointed to the chair in front of his desk, "Sit down...I also know that you are a person who likes to get straight to the subject. I also want to determine the plan for the next season as soon as possible. However, the fourth volume is on sale. Soon, we still want to discuss it."

   "This is the best." Shen Xin also had energy, "What plans does the president have?"

   "In view of the excellent revenue this radio drama brings, the next volume will still be sold together with the radio drama. I hope that the fourth volume will also have a good sales volume." Song Tai said.

   "The operating model of the next volume is the same as this time?" Shen Xin asked.

   "Hmm." Song Tai nodded, "Since the effect is good, there is no need to change it."

   Shen Xin made a mouth, not too surprised.

   "You don't seem to be very optimistic?" Song Tae asked in surprise.

"Ok."

   "The effect was good last time."

   "But this model, other magazines will also learn. If "Punishment" or other comics follow this approach ~www.NovelMTL.com~ we will have no advantage." Shen Xin asked in return.

   "This..." Song Tai frowned, his face serious.

The    marketing model is the easiest to imitate, and if other magazines really imitate it, it should be more thorough than "Y\'s". After all, "Y\'s" has proven to everyone that this model can bring huge benefits.

   "Then...do you have any new ideas?" Song Tai asked rhetorically.

   "There is a little bit, but whether it will work or not is unknown."

   During this period of time, Shen Xin also thought a lot. He didn't expect a suitable idea, but on the radio drama, he thought of an idea.

   "What do you think?" Song Tai asked quickly.

   "Similar to'unblocking', right?" Shen Xin speculated.

   "Unblock? How to do it?" Song Tai looked puzzled.

   "Roughly speaking, a radio drama with 10 episodes has been recorded in advance. For every 100,000 volumes sold in the fourth volume, two episodes will be released. If the sales exceed 500,000 volumes, all 10 episodes will be released.” Shen Xin explained.

   "By the way, if you can't sell 500,000 copies, wouldn't it be possible to unblock it?" Song Tai asked in surprise.

   Shen Xin nodded honestly, "Yes, then you can't unblock it."

   Song Tae frowned, "Is it too risky?"

   "We are in danger. Besides, the third volume sold more than half a million copies. If the fourth volume does not reach this sales volume, then the'newcomer award' is probably out of play." Shen Xin said.

   Song Tai pondered for a long time, and slowly said, "If you think this way, it's not impossible. However, I have a suggestion."

"Ok?"

   "Each book contains a questionnaire, asking if they support the third season of the radio drama." Song Tai suggested.
