After a while, the owner of the study appeared. The owner of the study was short, about fifty or sixty years old. He was a little old man with a white beard. The owner looked Yuan Dai up and down and said, "Come to buy books?"
Yuan Dai shook her head, "I'm here to submit an article. I want to cooperate with the boss."
When the boss heard what Yuan Dai said, he snorted disdainfully, "Our study is the largest study in the capital! Not just anyone who comes here is willing to cooperate."
Yuan Dai said sincerely: "Boss, I'm sincere, just give me a chance!" As she said that, she handed over her manuscript with both hands.
The boss hesitated for a while, but seeing that Yuan Dai's attitude was quite sincere, he took the manuscript from Yuan Dai's hand.
Yuan Dai held her breath and looked at her boss carefully, feeling slightly nervous in her heart.
Although she had read a lot in her previous life, this was the first time she had written it by herself.
The boss took a look at the manuscript handed over by Yuan Dai. At the first glance, he felt bad.
There is no other reason.
This word... is too ugly!
It was as curved and twisted as an earthworm, large and small, and very ugly. Just looking at the handwriting, he had no desire to continue reading the content!
If someone can't even write well, how good can his writing be?
The boss returned the manuscript to Yuan Dai: "Let's go, let's go, it doesn't pass."
Yuan Dai felt disappointed, "Why? Can you tell me the reason? I can change it!"
“I don’t want to read the content anymore just by reading your words!”
All right.
Yuan Dai then remembered that the ancients paid more attention to handwriting, as the saying goes, the words are like the person they are.
The boss must have read her handwriting and felt that she had not read any books and could not write anything.
only.....
There is nothing Yuan Dai can do.
She had always written with a hard pen before, and had never written with a soft pen. She managed to write the handwriting like an earthworm one by one with great difficulty.
"Boss, why don't you take another look."
"Go, go, don't hinder my business."
Yuan Dai was driven away like this and returned to the inn dejectedly.
This business venture collapsed halfway through, which somewhat dampened confidence.
but!
This is nothing!
Who is Yuan Dai?
She had experienced countless beatings from society in her previous life! When she first submitted her resume, were she rejected a few times?
It’s not like this all the time!
Facts have proved that as long as you are thick-skinned, you will always succeed!
So, Yuan Dai took her manuscript, three points and one line, and ran to the study owner unremittingly every day.
The owner of the study was also annoyed by her, but Yuan Dai was like that fly, circling around him every day and unable to get away.
Finally one day, the owner of the study couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Okay, okay! I'll watch it. Let's talk about it first. I'll watch it this time. After watching it, you can leave quickly!"
Yuan Dai nodded quickly, "As long as you finish reading the plot, I promise not to harass you again!"
The boss picked up Yuan Dai's manuscript impatiently and looked over it casually. After seeing the handwriting on it, the boss was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yuan Dai.
Yuan Dai quickly expressed herself, "I know that my handwriting is not good, and I have been practicing it for the past few days! Every time I come to you recently, the manuscript is newly written."
The boss's impression of Yuan Dai has changed slightly. Although the word is still ugly, it can be seen that it has improved a lot compared to the previous two days.
Because of this, the boss's eyes, which were originally casually reading the manuscript, became a little more serious.
He read it line by line, and after reading nearly a hundred words, the boss was completely stunned.
This, this manuscript is different from any script he has received before!
From the subject matter to the writing technique, everything is extremely novel!
It caught his eye almost immediately!
Although the language is simple, it is extremely lively and interesting!
The boss read a hundred words and then read on naturally. Before he knew it, he had read all of Yuan Dai's manuscripts!
After reading it all, the boss still felt a little unfinished and was still immersed in the plot.
"This supporting actress is so irritating! It was clear that his mother was a concubine, but he actually took away the heroine's status as a concubine! The same father, who made his fortune by relying on his wife's property, ended up becoming a concubine.
The matter of destroying the wife! I only pity the heroine, who grew up alone and helpless, and the beloved prince still prefers his legitimate daughter-in-law! It’s really irritating! It’s so irritating! When will this legitimate daughter be punished!”
The boss' tone was full of indignation and he talked a lot. It was obvious that he was completely involved in the plot.
"ah?"
"Ahem." Realizing that he was a little too excited, the boss calmed down, but there was still obvious excitement on his face.
"Okay, you can submit manuscripts to our study every day from now on, and we will be responsible for printing and distributing them for you."
With his many years of experience in selling story books, this story book will definitely sell very well! He has to keep the person quickly, otherwise it will be bad if other books take it away.
Yuan Dai nodded.
The boss added: "In addition to this, you also need to give yourself a pen name."
pen name?
Yuan Dai thought for a while. As a name-saver, she didn't know what to name her, so she casually said: "Let's call him the No. 1 Literary Man over there."
As soon as the name came out, the boss took a deep breath.
Although this story is well written, calling him the number one writer is a bit too arrogant, right?
"Is it...a little bad?"
"It's okay, I just got up casually."
Because her manuscript was recognized by her boss, Yuan Dai was very excited. After returning to the inn, she was so inspired that she wrote more than 20 pages of plot.
The more Yuan Dai wrote, the more excited she became, and she faintly saw a pile of small coins waving towards her.
At the boss's suggestion, the two decided to bind every ten chapters into a book for sale.
Yuan Dai was surprised when she heard the boss's opinion. She didn't expect that this boss looked honest and unattractive, but when he was selling things, he was familiar with the capitalist's way of cutting leeks!
This is like what?
If a cake was sold to you for a thousand yuan, you would think that this person is stealing money, right?
But if the other party divides the cake into a hundred parts, decorates it beautifully, and sells it to you for ten yuan a piece, you will think it is quite cheap.
Little did he know that the seller had already made nine hundred yuan in tears.
With the concerted efforts of Yuan Dai and the bookstore owner, Yuan Dai's book was on the market on the third day.
After it was listed, it did not become as popular as the boss imagined. He sat there for a whole day and did not wait for a few people to buy it. Even if he took the initiative to recommend it, he was driven away impatiently. He was puzzled.
The answer is, it’s such a fascinating plot! Why doesn’t anyone watch it?
But in his dreams lately, he has been thinking about how the heroine can kill the heroine!
Yuan Dai thought for a while and vaguely guessed the reason.
First of all, her type of storybook had never existed in ancient times. People were difficult to accept new things at first.
Secondly, she is not well-known, so no one will look through her things.
While Yuan Dai was thinking about it, she also analyzed it to her boss.
The boss nodded and thought it made sense, "But... what should we do?"
Yuan Dai smiled "hehe" and said, "What are we missing? It's marketing!"
