Chapter 198: Fight Back
Just when Wang was nervously preparing for Twitter's listing ceremony.
The nation's most famous writer, Stephen?? Kim is holding his short story "The Mist", which is being compared with the most popular work on the website.
As a halfway monk, Stephen can become a well-known writer with years of hard work alone?? For his part, Kim will not look down on any of the works.
And Stephen?? Kim's learning ability is undoubtedly at the perverted level.
For example, when he wrote one of his most well-known works, The Shining, he spent a lot of time studying the horror legends of the Indians.
And on the other hand, read a lot of horror and suspense queen, Agatha?? Christie's work.
This has led many readers to say that the atmosphere of "The Shining" is comparable to the classic "No One Survives".
And because of the different themes, "The Shining" is a notch higher than "No One Survives" in the eyes of horror lovers!
After a long day of perusing it, Stephen?? Kim pressed his temples a little tiredly.
He took a sip of coffee and sighed in a low voice, "Internet serialization is very different from physical book publishing. ”
"It's not a bad thing, though. "Stephen?? Jin smiled, "Because of the cost of printing, physical books are generally edited and streamlined. ”
"And the Internet, it seems that they are afraid of not having enough words. ”
He picked up The Mist and flipped it.
"Hehe, in fact, this book is just beginning, but it is not a short story. ”
Stephen?? Kim picked up the manuscript paper and wrote and drew on it.
Originally, the main scene of the short story "The Mist" was placed in a large supermarket, mainly showing various manifestations of human nature when people encounter sudden danger.
The auxiliary scene, on the other hand, is placed in a church.
Here, some religious issues are explored.
Because of the length of the physical book, these two scenes are described separately, and the connection between them is not close.
"Since you don't have to think about the word count," Stephen?? Jin thought for a moment, "Is it possible to completely connect all the scenes through the experience of the protagonist?"
Moreover, it seems a bit narrow to only discuss human nature and religion. ”
Stephen?? Kim thought for a moment and began to write a few words on the manuscript.
They are, respectively, **, communism, individual heroism, etc., the social mode of production at each gathering point.
Immediately afterwards, he wrote down the "Blizzard Mountain Villa Mode", "Schizophrenia Mode", "Titanic Shipwreck Mode", etc., and the expression techniques that should be used at each gathering point.
Then, he began to set up the main contradiction.
After watching a lot of the web, Stephen?? Kim believes that while these works are well creative, the protagonists' actions are somewhat lacking in motivation.
"In order to depict a climax, many of the protagonist's actions are completely illogical. ”
Stephen?? Kim thought for a moment and wrote the words father, mother, and daughter on the paper.
"Well, the husband and wife encountered a sudden disaster at home, the mother died tragically, and before he died, he told the father to find his daughter. ”
"In this way, you can effectively promote the scene change. ”
He clicked the mouse and watched "Extreme Heavenly Demon" for a while.
"Well, this kind of protagonist kills like crazy, it feels good..."
Stephen?? Kim thought about it for a moment and wrote on the paper: The father saw the tragic image of the women in the gathering point, and thought that his daughter might also have this kind of experience, so he began to slaughter wildly.
He smiled and nodded, "In this way, it will not provoke the sensitive nerves of those who oppose everything against people." ”
And then, Stephen?? Kim also circled the "split personality" with a pen.
"Hehe, the current horror and suspense works can finally be pulled to the 'childhood shadow'. ”
He groaned and wrote a line of words next to "Childhood Shadows":
The villain looked at his father, and when he was about to talk about his childhood experience with a sad face, his father shot directly.
Then, faintly, "I don't care..."
Stephen?? Kim closed his eyes and imagined the image.
"Hehe, it's quite enjoyable. ”
"I have to say that the Internet is much less restrictive than physical book publishing. ”
"These are written on the physical book and are to be deleted by the editors. ”
Stephen?? Kim took a sip of his coffee, groaned, and began typing words on the keyboard.
And at this time, the site is inside the office.
A young editor reviews a manuscript with a snack.
"Alas, although many of the works are very creative," he sighed, and said to himself, "but the use of words and the description of the environment are simply not connected." ”
After casually rejecting an author's application for "philanthropic grants," the young editor pouted.
"Since the establishment of the Charity Fund, our workload has also increased. ”
At this time, another email came from his mailbox.
The young editor clicked on the email nonchalantly and continued to work.
"Huh?" he scratched his hair, "like... Where have you heard of this name. ”
The editor took a bite of the sandwich and shook his head, "Well, I just can't remember." ”
With the click of the mouse, he pondered whether he met the criteria for "charitable aid."
"Well, the creativity is good, the description of the environment, the characterization is impeccable. ”
"It's just..."
The editor thought about it and replied in the email: Please cut out the irrelevant description and get into the subject as soon as possible. Also, to highlight the "cool" point, you must not abuse the master.
He groaned, added the "Xiaobaiwen Writing Guide" written by Wang gradually as an attachment, and replied directly to the email.
"This author's writing skills are very deep, and he only needs guidance to write a popular work. ”
The editor casually glanced at the screen, "This author is called... Stephen?? Gold. ”
"Stephen?? Kim?" he was stunned for a moment, "Shit! ”
At this time, he saw Tom, an executive of the company, walking out of the president's office.
Then, the soon-to-be multimillionaire white male shouted to the editors, "Recently, you have been paying attention to a work called 'The Mist.'" ”
"Wait for the other party to send this work, notify me first, and then directly give the best recommendation. ”
"The Mist?" the young editor thought about the email just now, and was stunned for a moment, "General manager, is there anything special about this work?"
"Of course. Tom nodded, "That's the famous writer Stephen??" Kim, the work to be published on the site. ”
"The president has decided to use this opportunity to promote it. ”
"Let fellow publishers and writers know that it's not just down-and-out writers who choose to publish their work on the site. ”
"Stephen?? Kim?" The editor looked at the email, stunned on the spot.
"God, you must be playing with me, right?"
