Chapter 250: Signing
Just when He Xiao stumbled, struggling in the sea of online texts like a budding newcomer.
Distant Jinling City.
An office building belonging to Qichen Chinese stands in the center of the city, when the lights fade and employees are preparing to leave work.
"Xiao Mu, let's go eat hot pot together tonight. ”
In the office area on the eighth floor, the company's operations director put on a small black coat, wiped his high heels, and said to a girl who was typing at a desk not far away.
The girl known as Xiao Mu nodded when she heard this, a crescent moon smiled on her face, and responded: "Sister Xu, you go first, I still have a few books that have not been reviewed, and I will look for you later." ”
"Okay, then let's go first, you should hurry up. Sister Xu smiled, shook her plump figure and left the company.
After she left, the entire eighth floor fell silent.
Xiao Mu looked at the empty surroundings, his cheeks bulging like a hamster exhaled a long breath, and continued to cheer up and read the manuscript.
Although he graduated less than three years ago, he was a senior book lover, and after graduation, he entered the Qichen Chinese website with his major, and after several turns, he officially became a responsible editor of the urban group.
Her main responsibilities are to review new book signings, determine whether they have commercial value, and promote the many authors.
It can be said that the responsible editor has a lot of power and can almost decide the life and death of an author.
The 2 percent signing rate came out of their hands.
In fact, there is no way to do such a low signing rate, and now too many people take themselves for granted, and they are embarrassed to post things that are scribbled, and they have no commercial value at all.
As a professional editor, her vision is very vicious, and even many books only need to look at the title of the book to know whether there is potential to sign a contract.
Rubbing the corners of her sour eyes, Xiao Mu kept spitting out sulk, she has reviewed more than 100 books today, and very few can reach the signing threshold, and more are unsightly.
Sighing silently, she clicked on the last book to be reviewed, and after reading the title, she couldn't help but nod.
This book is called "Chen Ergou's Demon Life", which is a decent name, so that people will not lose the desire to click on.
Let's take a look at the introduction.
Generally speaking, the introduction basically shows how good an author is.
A really good author, a few introductions can also be written very wonderfully.
Looking at it, Xiao Mu couldn't help frowning.
The synopsis of this book is not "simple", and even a little lengthy, and it will inevitably dazzle readers when placed on the front page.
It wasn't until she read it carefully that her expression couldn't help but become serious.
[The ragged old man squatted on the birch pier in front of the dilapidated house, drank a sip of homemade soju, smoked a strong toad toad, squinted his eyes, looked at the sunset that was about to fall into the Changbai Mountains, and said to a child who was about six or seven years old next to him who was playing with a black and white dog: Fusheng, the beast that the Siberian tiger fears the most is not the black blind man with rough skin and thick meat, nor the 600-pound wild boar king, but the mountain guard dog who went up the mountain......]
This is a somewhat alternative introduction, which makes Xiao Mu can't help but be surprised.
"His father is like an old turtle, his brother is like a hungry eagle, and his father is like a thin tiger?"
She stared at the words on the profile and muttered, a little moved by the words.
Judging from the packaging of the introduction alone, the content seems to be very exciting, and the selling points are all highlighted.
I just don't know what the actual content is.
Xiao Mu couldn't wait to click on the text and read it line by line.
"At the end of the primeval forest of Wanda Mountain in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, this has always been a place where donkeys are inaccessible, but today there is a convoy with a fierce arrogance running over, five off-road vehicles, exuding an unscrupulous meaning......"
As a professional editor, how fast can Xiao Mu read books?
Generally speaking, the first three chapters are very important for the quality of a film, so it is summarized as the "golden three chapters" by the industry.
With these three chapters, Xiao Mu can basically judge whether the book has contract value, and she usually only reads three chapters when she reads books.
But this time there were some exceptions, it seemed that he was attracted by the story, and Xiao Mu was unconsciously immersed in it.
It wasn't until she pressed the "Next" button and the system popped up "It's the latest chapter" that she woke up in shock.
She actually read the whole book!
Looking down at the time in the lower right corner, it was almost seven o'clock, but Xiao Mu's heart was pounding, and he felt as if he hadn't come out of the story in the book.
The vast northeast mountains and forests, the fierce wild boar, and Chen Ergou, who seems to be a frog at the bottom of the well, at the foot of the mountain, all made this girl who grew up in a southern city full of curiosity.
But...... Curiosity doesn't mean you can break the rules of the industry.
"Chen Ergou's Demonic Life" has stepped on almost all the thunder points of the signing standard.
You must know that online literature belongs to the fast food industry, and it is difficult for readers to remember the content.
Once you withdraw from the bookshelf, you may never remember the book again, so the online article is fast and accurate.
Get into the question quickly!
Goldfinger must be ruthless!
The plot must be accurate!
It's a trick that has been summed up by countless writers.
It's best to let the protagonist appear within the first 100 words at the beginning, the first three chapters of the supporting role can't be too much, the gold finger must be eye-catching enough, and it would be better if there was the most mainstream crossing element at the moment, which is the standard configuration of the popular network.
But on the other hand, Chen Ergou ...... The beginning starts with the supporting role, and the protagonist only appears in the second half of the chapter, and as for Goldfinger, he doesn't even see a shadow.
Such a book was put on the street in the past, and Xiao Mu would abandon it after sweeping a chapter, and it was impossible to submit it for a contract.
But at this moment, she couldn't press the button to close in the upper right corner.
Although it doesn't have all the characteristics that the Internet should have, the story is excellent, the writing is good, and I don't even know why...... Riots.
That's right, it's riot.
It's a very sassy kind, and you can't learn it if you want to.
Even in the introduction, the style of writing is full of sullenness, and it is surprising that the protagonist is compared to a "mad dog that has entered the mountain".
"He looks like a newcomer, but his writing is excellent, has he ever written and published? This is the first time he has published a work on the Internet?"
Xiao Mu secretly guessed in his heart, and at the same time glanced at the pen name "He Wanrong", and then shook his head, obviously he hadn't heard of it.
"Oh, really, should I sign for him......"
Xiao Mu frowned, for the first time in his career, he felt so swaying from side to side, and he didn't know whether to sign this special work.
After all, Qichen Chinese Network is a large listed company, very formal, except for the old authors, new people's books can not be signed at will.
The mouse moved to the cross in the upper right corner, and wanted to close the page, but hesitated for a long time, and never got down.
She always felt that it would be a great loss if this particular work was left alone.
"Ding-dong-"
A crisp voice came, it was the prompt tone of the mobile phone, and Sister Xu, the director of operations, asked her when she would arrive at the hotel, and everyone was waiting for her.
This made Xiao Mu a little upset, and blamed her for really delaying it for too long, at this time, after taking a deep look at the screen, she gritted her teeth and directly pressed the draw button, and then turned off the phone directly and left, no longer thinking about this bad thing.
At the same time, the news of the signing of the lottery crossed thousands of miles in a ten-thousandth of a second, and it disappeared into a certain apartment building in Yanjing in an instant......
