The next day, Wang Xuan turned on his computer and logged into the writer's backend of Shengshi Chinese Network. He first took a look at the backend data of "Dragon Babu".
It was as expected by Wang Xuan.
There are very few collections, less than a thousand clicks, and even fewer recommendation votes.
Newcomer, new book, no contract signed, no recommendation, naturally no exposure, so it’s strange that the data is good.
Wang Xuan opened the book review backend again and found that there were also very few comments. There are only a few comments, and almost all of them are trolls. They say the protagonist is too virginal to watch.
Wang Xuan ignored it, although he also felt that the description of Duan Yu in the early stages of "Dragon" was indeed a bit saintly. But looking at the whole book, Duan Yu has that kind of character. So Wang Xuan has no intention of changing it.
What surprised Wang Xuan was that the backstage didn't come to sign the contract. Are the signing standards that high? Or has the editor not reviewed the manuscript yet?
do not care. Wang Xuan is not worried about the signing of "Dragon Movie", it's just a matter of doing it sooner or later.
Wang Xuan uploaded several chapters of the third chapter and quit the Shengshi Chinese website again.
On the other side, there is the third editorial department of Shengshi Chinese Network.
Several editors are reviewing the manuscript, and Ziya is one of them.
However, other editors mostly source their manuscripts from their mailboxes, but Ziya can only find them from newly added novels.
There is no way, she is a new editor, just graduated from college, and only joined the editorial department of Shengshi Chinese Network two months ago. Compared with other veteran editors, she does not have author resources at her disposal. If she wants to sign books, she can only search for them in the library.
Anyone who has been engaged in online article editing knows that most old authors will submit their manuscripts first and sign them in, and very few will upload them directly to the library. This means that most of the new books in the library are written by new authors.
The threshold for online writing is low, and it’s not easy to write well. Many new authors come up with the idea of writing novels out of curiosity. They don't even know how to outline and outline the novels. Naturally, the novels they write are not flattering.
From morning to now, Ziya has reviewed no less than twenty books. She is dizzy, but there is not even a new book that can be approved.
Childish... Taking things for granted... Procrastinating... Tens of thousands of words without seeing the slightest bit of the topic... Wrong outlook... The writing is terrible...
There are all kinds of books, but none of them can be signed.
too difficult.
I have a lot of free time as an online article editor, and I have weekends off. I have five insurances and one housing fund, and the benefits are very good. Although the basic salary is average, the bulk of it is in bonuses. As long as his writers achieve results, they will receive a lot of bonuses, but the liquidity is very high. Ziya didn't understand it before, but now she finally understands.
Compared with veteran editors who can easily sign many new books from author resources, it is really not easy for new editors. It’s hard to sign a book, but it’s even harder to come up with results. I don’t have many signed books under my command, so how can I achieve any results?
No performance means no bonuses, and the basic salary is good enough to support oneself. How many new editors can persist?
But Ziya is not discouraged.
She is still young and can endure it. Editing is a tough job, everyone does it this way.
The main thing is that there is no pressure in her life. Although the family is not wealthy, it can be considered a middle-income family. Her parents don't have high demands on her, as long as she can support herself.
And she really likes the online writing industry. I had toyed with the idea of writing a novel earlier, but after practicing it, I found that I wasn't quite suitable.
"Forget it. Give up your fantasies and keep fighting!" Ziya encouraged herself and continued reviewing the manuscript. There were fifty new books in the library, and she still couldn't believe that she couldn't sign one.
But this time Ziya doesn’t plan to read it from beginning to end, but will first filter the genre. She first screened the most popular types of urban warriors and otherworldly adventures, which are also the types that are most likely to produce results. After reviewing it, I found it was eye-catching.
"What kind of stuff is written here?" Ziya herself wanted to turn into a troll. Let's just talk about this adventure in another world. It's the same thing. You travel to a useless person, and then cheat and counterattack, or meet an old man, or awaken your gifted bloodline, or pick up a god-defying artifact. The key is to stay with the woman for three chapters...
Tsk, Ziya doesn’t have to read it to know that there will be some plots later, which are nothing more than collecting gods’ pets, opening a harem, becoming the master of another world, etc. There is really nothing new at all.
Then Ziya reviewed several game novels, which is also the third most popular genre. Unfortunately, she still didn't find a novel that stood out to her.
"It seems that we can only find it among unpopular themes." Ziyaxin said.
I took a look at the newly added new books of unpopular genres in the library. Counting those that have been reviewed, there are only 18 books in total, which is quite miserable.
There are still 8 books that have not been reviewed. Ziya read them in order and quickly finished seven books.
disuse!
disuse!
Still eliminated!
There is only one last one left. It is estimated that the whole army will be wiped out, because the last one is actually martial arts. Martial arts is a very sluggish genre in the entire online literary world, and it is difficult to achieve results.
Moreover, the title of this last novel is not very good, it is called "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
Who would know what the book is about just by looking at the title? Not attractive at all. He couldn't even name it. This author was definitely a newcomer among newcomers, and Ziya had given up hope. However, out of professionalism, I still clicked on the book interface of "Dragon Babu".
Then she saw the synopsis of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon": Who is the peak at the end of the martial arts? When you see the dragon, you will finally become empty!
"Hey, this introduction is quite good. Although it is a bit arrogant, it is very consistent with the style of Internet articles." Ziyaxin said.
Opening the book, Ziya began to review the manuscript. The first thing that caught her eye was the title of the first volume and its introduction.
Junior Tour
The green shirt is flying on the dangerous peaks, and the jade moon is shining brightly. The horse's speed is fragrant, the cliff is high and people are far away, and the slight step is full of wrinkles.
Whose children belong to which family? No regrets. The dragon roars and the tiger roars, the luan and the phoenix change their nests, and the sword energy is filled with green smoke.
"Is this a poem?" Ziya was surprised and read it in a low voice, feeling more and more that this poem was very good. She majored in Chinese language at university. In her opinion, this poem is comparable to those of ancient masters.
"You won't let me touch the treasure, right?" Ziya thought to herself, feeling hopeful for the first time in her heart.
She couldn't wait to click on the first chapter. She wanted to browse the content. After discovering that the chapter name was actually called "Qing Shilei Luo Dangerous Peak Journey", she backed out and hurriedly scanned the chapter names of the chapters that had been updated.
Sure enough, the chapter names in the second chapter are all based on the words. I just don’t know if the content of the chapter matches. If it matches, then this author is simply not too awesome, his literary quality is astonishingly high!
…
Ziya continued to review the manuscript, but after reading the first chapter, she frowned and frowned more and more as she looked down.
It took nearly an hour for Ziya to finally read all the updated chapters. She had to admit that the author's writing style was very good and his literary quality was really high. The chapter names were not chosen randomly and fit very well with the content of the chapters.
For example, the author used 6 sections to describe the first chapter of Qing Shi Lei Luo's trip to dangerous peaks. The general plot can be summarized like this.
Wuliang Sword The East-West Sect competed in a sword fight at Wuliang Mountain to obtain the right to live in Jianhu Palace for the next five years.
Duan Yu, a young man, followed Ma Wude to Wuliang Mountain. He couldn't help but talk too much while watching the fun, which offended Zuo Zimu, the head of Dongzong. He was in danger and was rescued by Zhong Ling, who was eating melon seeds on the beam and watching the fun.
During the confrontation, the Shennong Gang approached the Wuliang Sword Sect for a fight. Zuo Zimu had no time to take care of Duan Yu and Duan Yu, and was afraid of the lightning mink in Zhong Ling's hands, so he could only let the two leave.
But when Duan Yu saw the dead people, he actually felt compassion and planned to go to the Shennong Gang to persuade them to give up the idea of fighting with the Wuliang Sword Sect.
Zhong Ling couldn't persuade him, and he was worried about Duan Yu, so he and Duan Yu could only go to the Shenlong Gang to break up the fight. As a result, they failed to reach an agreement, and the two even clashed with the Shenlong Gang. Because their skills were inferior to others, Zhong Ling and Duan Yu were subdued by the Shennong Gang.
However, the leader of the Shennong Gang, Sikong Xuan, was also bitten by Zhong Ling's lightning marten. He must take the antidote within seven days, otherwise he will die from the poison.
As a last resort, Sikong Xuan had no choice but to detain Zhong Ling, forcefully give Duan Yu Duangchang Powder and then let him go down the mountain, forcing him to find the antidote within seven days.
This is the general content of the first chapter "Lei Luo Dangerous Peak Journey", which matches the chapter title very well. The green shirt refers to Duan Yu, who is wearing a green shirt in the article, and the dangerous peak refers to Wuliang Mountain.
The second chapter tells the story of Duan Yu who was in danger and fell off the cliff on his way to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, accidentally breaking the secret of the Infinite Sword Shadow. It turns out that there is a jade jade at the bottom of the cliff of Wuliang Mountain. There used to be a pair of senior brothers and sisters living here at the bottom of the cliff. The senior brother is named Wu Yazi and the junior sister is named Li Qiushui. The shadow of Wuliang Sword is actually the two people who usually practice martial arts at the bottom of the cliff. It is caused by the reflection of jade.
In the process of searching for a way out, Duan Yu discovered a jade statue of a woman dressed in palace clothes. He was astonished for a moment and regarded her as a fairy sister. He was fascinated by her, almost to the point of madness. Duan Yu had almost no ability to resist the words left by the jade statue himself, so he could only obey. Who would have expected that he would accidentally obtain the Xiaoyao sect's martial arts secrets, learn the Beiming Magic and Lingbo Weibu, and then escape and ascend to heaven.
After Duan Yu left Wuliang Mountain, he went straight to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, hoping to find Zhong Ling and her parents to save Zhong Ling. But they didn't expect that Mrs. Zhong's Gan Baobao, known as "Qiao Yaocha", was actually an old acquaintance of Duan Yu's father, Duan Zhengchun, and they had an affair with him once. Gan Baobao wanted to follow Duan Yu to rescue Zhong Ling, but Zhong Wanchou was jealous and blocked him.
Seeing that it seemed impossible to save his daughter in person, Gan Baobao had no choice but to write down Zhong Ling's birth date on a note and give it to Duan Yu, asking him to find Duan Zhengchun to save Zhong Ling.
Although Duan Yu was confused, he was concerned about Zhong Ling's safety, so he had to rush back to Dali to find his father Duan Zhengchun.
This is the content of the second chapter, and it is also very consistent with the content of the chapter. Moreover, this second chapter is much more exciting than the first chapter. Duan Yu falls off a cliff and has an unexpected encounter and learns exquisite martial arts, which is in line with the routine of Internet novels.
In the third chapter, Duan Yu was told that he had an accident on his way to Dali to find his father Duan Zhengchun to rescue Zhong Ling. He borrowed a horse, and the killers of the Wang family in Dali's Gusu mistook him for the owner of the horse, causing him to be hunted down. . After finally getting rid of the killer, Duan Yu decided to turn around and go back to notify the horse's owner because he was concerned about the safety of the horse's owner.
The owner of the horse is a woman in black named Mu Wanqing.
The two encountered a killer and fought and fled. After getting rid of the killer, they accidentally met someone from the Vulture Palace on the road. After a dangerous fight, the two killed the people in Lingjiu Palace, put on the latter's cloak and went to Shennong to rescue Zhong Ling. Unexpectedly, the Shennong Gang mistook them for the Holy Envoys of Lingjiu Palace and obeyed their words.
The two took the opportunity to rescue Zhong Ling and got the antidote for Changchang Powder, but unfortunately it had no effect.
In order to prevent the leader of the Shennong Gang from discovering that the antidote was fake, the three of them fled quickly after the Shennong Gang came out. Unfortunately, they encountered the killers of the Gusu Wang family again on the way. Mu Wanqing forced Zhong Ling to leave and led Duan Yu to fight with the killer. After a fight, although the killer was temporarily repelled, Mu Wanqing was also injured. They can only continue to flee. Unfortunately, the mountain road in Wuliang Mountain was winding and winding, turning east and west, making it difficult to tell the direction. For a while, the two of them couldn't find the exit and had to be trapped in the mountain.
This is the content of the third chapter, which is full of twists and turns and is very exciting.
that is.....
After thinking about it, Ziya still marked it as "can sign", and then directly notified the signing editor to send a signing text message to the author's backend, and put it in her name.
This move soon became known to colleagues in the editorial department, and they all tried to persuade me.
"Xiaoya, don't be impulsive. I've also read the beginning of the novel "Diamond and the Dragon". The plot is okay and the writing is good, but the main character is not likable, otherwise I would have put it forward long ago." Editor Feng Ye said.
"Yeah, I've read it too. The protagonist of that novel, Duan Yu, is really unflattering. He overestimates his own abilities, commits suicide, has a mother-in-law mother-in-law, and has a mother-in-law's heart. The comment section is all criticizing the protagonist. What's up with Xiaoya? Thinking of signing a contract for this book?" Editor Jelly said.
"I've also read that novel. The protagonist Duan Yu is really not that good. He is the most vicious type in the Internet literary circle." Editor Hongchen said.
"One more thing, this book has three chapters without women. It has only been updated three times and already two women have appeared, and both of them are ambiguously related to the protagonist. There is also a jade statue of a fairy sister. I guess this is another chapter. The stallion story. The key is martial arts. You all know how cool martial arts is, right?" Editor Sikong added.
"Don't you all like this novel? I think the author's writing style is very good and his literary quality is first-rate." Editor Qinglong interjected.
"What's the use of good writing? Readers won't buy it if the protagonist is not good." Editor Shan Mao retorted.
"That's right. Internet writing is the least demanding thing about writing, as long as the author can express it fluently. Plot is the king. The so-called good article is good for a while, and it will always be good!" The editor drunkard agreed.
"I can only partially agree with this. Plot is indeed king, but plot and writing do not conflict and can coexist at the same time. For the same plot, good writing can definitely add a lot of points." Editor Qinglong retorted.
"In that case, why didn't you sign the book?" the drunkard editor asked.
"I have thought about it. But I plan to wait and see and decide whether to sign the contract depending on the subsequent plot." Editor Qinglong responded.
"Isn't that the case? Choosing to wait and see shows that you are not optimistic about this book either. Moreover, you are an old editor and have many resources on hand. It doesn't matter if you waste a little. Xiaoya is different. She is a newcomer. She has just joined the job and has limited resources. It’s not worth wasting on a novel like this!” Editor Shanmao said.
"Yes." Editor Qinglong nodded and stopped talking.
Ziya, on the other hand, was almost dumbfounded and felt extremely stressed in an instant.
She suddenly discovered another reason for the high turnover of online article editors. For new editors, the senior editors have very strong professional capabilities. Not only do they have a lot of resources for old authors, but they also have resources for new authors.
For example, "Dragon", this book was one of the better ones she found among many new books. It took a lot of time, but who would have thought that it was just leftovers, eliminated by other editors.
Other editors' evaluations of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" were absolutely correct. When Ziya reviewed the book "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", she also felt that the author's portrayal of the protagonist Duan Yu was a failure. This was also the reason why she frowned when reviewing the manuscript before.
