Two days later.

The publication promotion of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is already in full swing.

Zhang Ye randomly opened several large forums, and one of the three forums might have a promotional banner for "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" on the homepage - "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", the originator of tomb robbing novels, was officially launched in major bookstores on October 1st.

Today is already the twenty-ninth.

It will be on sale in less than two days.

Zhang Ye also asked the middle-aged man who the publishing house contacted him about why it was so fast. The other person's answer left him speechless. The man said that their publishing house had actually already negotiated with the Beijing Radio Station and the contract was drawn up. It came out, and preparations were made for publicity and sales of printing. Everything was ready, but there was no movement at the radio station. That is, Zhang Ye did not agree to Deputy Director Jia selling the copyright at a low price, so the printing plan and publicity plan had to be shelved. , now that they have finally obtained the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", they only need to put the previous plan back on the schedule, so the process is naturally much faster, unlike some publications that have to wait for several months.

Of course, there is a more important point, because the Beijing Education Publishing House is also very anxious. The copyright fee of six million is not a small amount. The fairy tales are okay. Zhang Ye's several fairy tales do not have the same type of competition, but " "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is different. Because it was not published in time, a large number of follow-up works have appeared in the market to seize resources. If it continues to be delayed, the situation is really hard to say. If the market for tomb robbery novels is saturated, their publishing house will close it. They were worried about not getting back the cost, so as soon as they got the copyright, they couldn't wait to handle the related matters, which seemed even more impatient than the author Zhang Ye.

The publisher is very considerate, which is a good thing.

Zhang Ye didn't have to worry anymore. It was a copyright buyout anyway, so he didn't have to worry about sales. He could just watch TV leisurely with his family.

Ring ring ring, the phone call came.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Zhang Ye picked it up and said, "Hello."

"Hello, are you Teacher Zhang Ye?" It was a female voice.

"I am, who are you?" Zhang Ye asked.

The female voice smiled sweetly and said: "I am a staff member of the Beihe Provincial Radio Copyright Department. That's right. I heard that Beijing Radio has stopped broadcasting "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" for two days. Later, there was already a publication of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" on the Internet. Publicity, do you want to ensure sales, so you stopped "Late Night Ghost Stories"? I would like to ask, how many stories are there after the audio version of "Ghost Blowing Lamp"? Is it convenient to disclose it? "

Zhang Ye said: "About ten issues.

"

The female voice said: "Look, can you sell the audio rights for the next ten issues to our radio station? The price is negotiable. How about we meet and discuss it in detail?"

Zhang Ye understood, "No need. Before "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is published, audio will definitely not be allowed to be broadcast. I have already reached an agreement with the publisher."

The female voice insisted: "It doesn't matter, we can wait. "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" should be divided into five or six volumes and published continuously, right? After the last volume is published, our radio station will broadcast it again. We can give you 100,000 yuan for the price The copyright fee, because there are not many issues left, well, what do you think?"

"Forget it." Zhang Ye shook his head.

"If you think the price is low, we can still negotiate." The woman refused to hang up the phone.

"Thank you, we won't sell it for now." Zhang Ye hung up the phone.

But not long after, several more calls came in. I don’t know if the publishing house or other channels had just leaked his contact information. As a result, a bunch of people from radio stations in various provinces and cities approached him and wanted to buy the audio copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp". The bids are not low either, and they are all willing to publish first and then audio, to make way for publication. The most ridiculous thing is that someone from Beijing Radio actually found Zhang Ye.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm Xiao Li from the logistics department." The young man said, "We met in the elevator once and chatted a few words. Do you have any impressions?"

Of course Zhang Ye had no impression, but he said: "Oh, Xiao Li, I know."

The young man sighed first, and then said: "The higher-ups asked me to talk to you about the authorization of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". I know you have had some conflicts with the station, but no matter what, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still your program, it is you My child was brought up by you single-handedly. Now this novel has been deeply rooted in our radio station, and listeners also recognize this brand. As soon as the broadcast was stopped, many listeners stopped working, and our official website was It has been maxed out several times, and I think you don’t want to see this situation either. The listeners all want “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” to be revived.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye burst into laughter, "Yes, I don't want to see it, but I don't want to leave on my own. As long as there is some way, as long as the station leader leaves Zhang Ye some way to survive, I want to see " "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" has finished broadcasting, and it has a beginning and an end, but I can't help it, and you don't have to say nice things to me, or use the audience to pressure me. Listeners who like my novels can buy the book "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp". If you really want to just listen to the radio and listen to the audio Friends, when the last story of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is published, listeners will also hear it on the radio, but I promise, it will definitely not be Beijing Radio!"

I hung up the phone directly without any more nonsense!

Zhang Ye said in his heart that you guys are really funny. It was you who forced me to leave. Now you are still shy and want my authorization and copyright? How big your faces are!

There are other radio stations that must have issued blocking orders to Zhang Ye. Although Zhang Ye did not submit his resume to the radio station, it can be imagined that no one would dare to accept it if he submitted it, but what about now? You’ve blocked me and you still want my copyright? You guys have taken over everything inside and outside!

Not for sale!

Zhang Ye rejected them all!

But actually think about it seriously, whether it is other radio stations or Beijing radio stations, whether you can find yourself wanting to buy the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" or the audio copyright of only a dozen episodes of the program, this already shows how much the industry is optimistic about this novel. , or the industry knows how good "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is. Zhang Ye broke the listening rate of the late-night program with "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp"! No. 1 in the country at the same time! The creator of the national midnight midnight time record! He couldn't even fuck Zhang Ye on the late night slot of China Central Radio! What a myth is this? I believe all radio colleagues know that with "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", it is equivalent to having a listening rate! Even if there are more than a dozen issues left, even if there are a few issues left, even if it is just a late-night column, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and it cannot be compared with other late-night columns! So they rushed to buy the license, and even Beijing Radio Station came over with shame!

Soon, the phone rang again.

Zhang Ye was not ready to answer the call at first, knowing that it might be someone from the radio station, but when he saw the number, he had a wry smile on his face and had to answer it.

"Hey, Xiao Zhang." It was Zhao Guozhou, director of the literary frequency of Beijing Radio. "What are you doing? It took you so long to answer the phone? Haha, why are you still sleeping?"

Zhang Ye coughed and said, "No, Director Zhao. I woke up early. I just took calls for an hour."

Zhao Guozhou was convinced, "They are all asking you to buy audio licenses, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Ye said, "Have you guessed this?"

Zhao Guozhou said calmly: "It's not that I guessed it, but I know that this is why I called you. Just now you rejected the person from the logistics department who contacted you, right? The higher-ups were unwilling to let go of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" like this, so they asked me to I came to you, and I also know that you are incompatible with Taiwan’s leaders, so let me talk to you about prices and market economy. They want money to speak for themselves.”

Zhang Ye was about to speak, "Leader, I..."

Zhao Guozhou smiled and said: "Listen to me first. You don't need to tell me to know that they don't understand you. I think I still understand you, kid. If you can swallow your anger and sell "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" again for a little money, you Your name is no longer Zhang Ye, and you won’t say the song "Dead Water" in front of so many people. They still think of you Zhang Ye too easily, so I have no intention of trying to persuade you. The one who sells licenses just calls you to ask about your recent situation. Seeing the turmoil caused by your publishing side, I feel relieved. After all, you are the person brought out by me, Zhao Guozhou. If I fail to protect you, I will take advantage of you. The overwhelming majority of responsibility.”

"Mr. Zhao, let's see what you said." Zhang Ye didn't want to hear it and said, "How can I blame you? I know in my heart that every injustice has its own debtor." After a pause, he said, "Actually, I just talked to the logistics department Xiao Li said that I will not sell the copyright to anyone else, nor will I sell it to Beijing Radio, but... as long as you say a word, you will take away the audio copyright, and I won’t pay a penny. I will continue until the last one is published. Broadcast by Literary Frequency!”

Zhao Guozhou was silent for a moment. Zhang Ye's words moved him very much. To be fair, Zhao Guozhou actually just led Zhang Ye in, but didn't help him much in any way. But even so, Zhang Ye was still so affectionate. Reminiscing about old friendships, Zhang Ye told Zhao Guozhou in the office that every drop of kindness should be repaid by a gushing spring. It was obviously not a pretentious talk, he really did it!

But Zhao Guozhou couldn't bear it!

He is not an incompetent person!

"Xiao Zhang, your words are enough. Okay, I, Zhao Guozhou, did not misjudge the person." Zhao Guozhou gave him the final answer, "Don't sell the audio copyright to anyone else. I have already received the news. If "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is reauthorized, it will eventually be handed over to Jia Yan to host. The next ten episodes you have recorded before will be deleted and Jia Yan will be recorded and broadcast. The station will use all resources to praise him. .”

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Zhao." Zhang Ye suddenly remembered, "By the way, how is Tian Bin? I heard that he was removed from the column?"

"Why do you suddenly care about Xiaotian?"

"Just asking casually."

"Xiao Tian has resigned. He left the day before yesterday. He should be working at home now. I heard that the situation is not good. I haven't found a radio station to recruit him. After all, he has no qualifications and achievements. Alas, how can you two fight so hard? It took a long time. , and finally let someone else come up.”

"Can you give me Tian Bin's phone number? I didn't save his number."

"Why are you looking for him? Forget it, I won't ask. I'll send it to you later."
