"Xiaoya, this book is really not good. The beginning is very poisonous and will dissuade many readers. It is still martial arts, and even if the subsequent writing is good, it will be difficult to achieve results. I suggest you change it to another one." The editor, Drunkard, advised.
"That's right, don't be impulsive. You signed several new books before, and gave you a lot of recommended resources, but ended up buying them all. If you continue to read this book, the boss will cause trouble for you. Otherwise, I will send you a message in my mailbox There are also contributions from many old authors, please choose one from them and sign it to your name." Editor Jelly said.
"No, thank you for your concern. I want to give it a try." Ziya felt a little moved. Colleagues are enemies, and there is naturally competition among editors, but her colleagues still take great care of her.
"Hey, it's quite lively?" At this moment, the editor-in-chief Yehu's voice came from outside.
"Hello Brother Fox."
"Brother Fox is great!"
"Brother Fox is awesome!"
"...Stop flattering. Why are they all getting together? What happened?" Yehu asked, dumbfounded.
"Brother Fox, the thing is like this, Xiaoya wants to sign a book, but the beginning of the book is very poisonous and it's martial arts, so we are trying to persuade her."
"It's really not easy to get results in martial arts. But if Xiaoya wants to try, let her try. Newbies need to hit some obstacles to grow. Isn't that how everyone has been here? Xiaoya, don't worry about them. Just let her know what you think. What to do, what if they all misjudge? Don’t be afraid of wasting recommendation resources. If you like it, you can promote it. The website’s recommended resources are indeed valuable, but a hundred recommended resources cannot equal one popular book. As long as you If you can publish a popular book for me, we will make money." Yehu editor-in-chief encouraged.
"Understood. Thank you, Brother Fox." Ziya responded, thinking: It seems that after signing the contract, she will have to have a good chat with the author of "Dragon and the Eight Parts".
In her opinion, "Dragon" is well written. If the protagonist's character setting can be modified, it may not be impossible to become a popular book. Only when "Dragon and the Eight Parts" becomes a popular book can it be worthy of the editor-in-chief's trust.
That's how things ended.
The next day Wang Xuan logged in to the writer's backend and looked at the data, but there was still no change.
However, there is a message: "After review by the editor, your work "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" has met the contract standard. Please contact your editor Ziya, PP3208999... Please indicate your author name and contracted work when adding PP."
"Here we come." Wang Xuan said in his heart without much emotion.
Naturally, Wang Xuan didn't know that the editorial department of Shengshi Chinese Network had held a discussion about "Dragon Babu", and most of the editors were not optimistic about it. In his opinion, it is a normal thing to be able to sign the contract for "Dragon Movie", and there is nothing surprising about it.
PP is an instant online chat tool on Blue Star, similar to Tencent QQ on Earth. Wang Xuan logged into his PP, searched for the PP number according to the text message content, added friends and sent the application.
Soon, Ziya approved Wang Xuan's friend application and took the initiative to send a message: "Hello, is this the author of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", Luo Qiu Dada?"
"I don't dare take it seriously. Just call me Luoqiu." Wang Xuan replied.
"I am your editor in charge, Ziya. Congratulations, "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" meets the contracting standards. A contracted editor will contact you later. I want to talk to you about the book "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" now. I would like to ask you Is it convenient now?" Ziya asked.
"Convenient." Wang Xuan replied.
"It's like this. "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is very well written, and the plot and writing are excellent, but the setting of the protagonist Duan Yu seems a bit unpleasant." Ziya said.
"How should I put it? Are you a little weak? Are you overestimating your capabilities? Mother-in-law, mother-in-law? Return to the Holy Mother?"
"It turns out you know it too."
"The book review section is full of comments like this. It's hard for me not to know."
"Then haven't you thought about modifying it?"
"No. This is how the character is set up."
"But this kind of setting is not flattering. It is a very taboo point in the Internet literary circle."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after you get poisoned."
"...Dad, I'm not joking. I sincerely suggest that you revise it. I approve of Dada's writing style. I don't think I can write the words of the song "Young Travels" in this life. I really can't bear it. A good book was buried because of the setting of the protagonist.”
"I'm also serious and I won't change it. Duan Yu had this kind of character in his early days. This is related to his life background. You will understand it in the future."
"But this setting can dissuade a lot of readers in the early stage."
"That's a shame, they missed out on a great book."
"..." What else can Ziya say? Does co-authoring mean to dissuade readers or is it the reader's own loss? Where does this guy get his confidence?
never mind. Say no more. The way they chat with each other can kill people.
Ziya regretted signing the book "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". After thinking about it, I pushed Wang Xuan’s PP to the contract editor and let the contract editor go through the process. After that, she ignored Wang Xuan, and even forgot to arrange a test for Wang Xuan, because deep down in her heart, she actually gave up on Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan didn't care. Complete the signing process according to the normal process and update steadily every day. Because the novel "Dragon" is bound to explode sooner or later even if it is not tested and promoted.
On July 2, Wang Qian’s college entrance examination results finally came out, which was long overdue because in previous years they were usually released on June 25.
Wang Qi scored 706 points, ranking third in Xiangjiang City. With this score, all domestic universities can be chosen at will, even some universities abroad have issued invitation letters to Wang Qi.
Look, this is what top academics say about not doing well in the exam. If you do well in the exam, won't you go to heaven?
Anyway, Wang Xuan's parents were very happy and notified their relatives and friends one by one, even the neighbors in the countryside. In addition, Wang Xuan's parents have always decided to hold a college party for Wang Qian before the start of school.
Wang Xuan expressed support for this.
On the same day, Li Tao came to Wang Xuan's office, his face a little ugly.
"What's wrong, Brother Tao?"
"Today at the executive council meeting, Tsai Qin from the artist department lost her temper with me. But I don't blame her. Starting on the 15th of last month, you should know that there is a rookie season in the singing industry, right?"
"I know, but I didn't pay attention. What? The rookie season was wiped out?"
"Yes. Several newcomers that our company wanted to promote were all wiped out in the rookie season. Not even one of them entered the top ten. I was careless. I didn't expect other companies to attach so much importance to this rookie season. All the works in the top fifteen were his. It was composed by Meow's gold medal songwriter. Then Tsai Qin got mad at me, saying that our music department didn't do anything, didn't pay attention to the company's artists, and the songs we found were all rubbish."
"so?"
"The rookie season is divided into two seasons, each season takes half a month. In fact, the next season is the highlight. Almost all companies will put their main recommended newcomers in the next season, including our Tianyu. Considering that there were so many gold medal composers in the last season, this next season The season will definitely be more intense, and top composers may appear. So I want to make an appointment with Brother Xuan for two songs... I just don’t know if it’s convenient for Brother Xuan.”
"You have come to my office, can I be inconvenienced?"
"Hey, I don't want to either. If I don't come to your office, then that old woman Cai Qin will have to get mad at me again. The old woman must have been visiting her aunt these days, otherwise why would she be so rude?"
"Give me the newcomer's information." Wang Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't want to discuss other people's topics behind his back.
"Okay." Li Tao was prepared and placed the two newcomers' information in front of Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan browsed through it briefly, then searched for the songs sung by the two newcomers based on the information and listened to them again and again, finally gaining an understanding of the vocal characteristics of the two newcomers.
The first newcomer was Wang Shasha, who graduated from the Yanjing Conservatory of Music. Her voice was quite distinctive. Wang Xuan thought of one person, Wang Erlang. Yes, this Wang Shasha's voice is modeled after Wang Erlang. Her voice is slightly smoky and has a kind of sadness, which makes people feel that it is full of stories.
Then Wang Xuan thought of a song, a song that was both beautiful and sad.
"Like a fish"!
This song is very popular on earth, but many people still think it is a slobbery song and they are moaning for no reason. But Wang Xuan doesn't think so. As time goes by, this song will sooner or later be regarded as a classic.
Another newcomer is Liu Kai, who is actually no longer considered a newcomer because it has been five years since his debut and he just failed to break out of the industry. Liu Kai is a bit special. He was once a national first-class hurdler and won many world championships. He is still the holder of the world record in the international 100-meter hurdles event. It's just that Liu Kai was injured in two consecutive competitions and retired midway. He reluctantly announced his retirement and transformed into a singer.
Liu Kai's move to transform into a singer was criticized by many people, saying that he was crazy for wanting money. As a world champion hurdler, he actually entered the entertainment industry and made bad money. No, it should be said that since Liu Kai was injured and retired from the competition, the online violence against him has never stopped.
When he retired from the World Championships for the first time due to injury, netizens claimed that Liu Kai had no sportsmanship and should have jumped to the finish line even if he was dancing. Retiring from the competition was a cowardly act. The second time he retired from the Olympics due to injury, what followed was overwhelming abuse, ridicule and slander. Various unreasonable titles such as "coward", "showman" and "deserter" were all assigned to Liu Kai by the mob.
Liu Kai was also very popular in the sports world at that time, because Liu Kai was the first Oriental to win the world championship in the hurdles event, and he also broke the world record by a large margin. He proved to the world that track and field events are not exclusive to Westerners, Asians can also run.
Liu Kai's voice and singing talent are actually quite good. If there had been no cyber violence incident and Liu Kai had transformed into a singer, it is estimated that many entertainment companies would have offered him an olive branch. Unfortunately, there was no if, and in the end only Tianyu took him in.
But Tianyu still underestimated the impact of the cyber violence incident on Liu Kai. In the past three years, Tianyu also found a lot of good songs for Liu Kai. Liu Kai sang well, but as long as he put it on the market, he would be boycotted, and even splashes would appear. Can't splash.
Just this year, the direction of the Internet has gradually changed, and Liu Kai has begun to be taken seriously.
When Liu Kai announced his retirement, a lot of people on the Internet applauded him and told him to get out as soon as possible. There were few regrets.
Just like the 2001 national football team on earth was considered just the beginning, Liu Kai was also considered to be just the beginning of China's hurdles world, but the mob never thought that it was not the beginning, but the peak. After the peak, there will be decline.
In 2002, the national football team failed to score a single goal in the World Cup. They lost to Costa Rica, Turkey and Brazil with scores of 0:2, 0:3 and 0:4 respectively. At that time, the national football team was criticized miserably, saying that they would not be able to qualify in this lottery group.
Is it really a lottery? The mob was just blind. In that year's World Cup, the champion was Brazil and the third runner-up was Turkey. A group had a champion and a third runner-up. What kind of lottery is this?
After the retirement of those national football generals in 2002, the national football team has become worse than the last and has completely become a waste of money.
Analogy to Liu Kai, after Liu Kai retired, in the past five years, Chinese athletes could not even qualify in the hurdles event, let alone win the world championship. The hurdles event was once again dominated by Westerners.
As a result, netizens finally understood how powerful Liu Kai was back then and how rare it was. That's not the beginning, that's the peak, the world-class peak. As a result, the direction of the network finally slowly changed. Although there are still many hackers trying to hack Liu Kai, at least many netizens have woken up and no longer blindly follow the trend and hack for the sake of being black.
This is also the reason why Tianyu pushed Liu Kai out again after two years of silence. As long as there is no cyber violence, Tianyu is still quite optimistic about Liu Kai.
After reading Liu Kai's information, Wang Xuan thought of a song, a song that he thought was very suitable for Liu Kai.
"your answer"!
