Chapter 176: Frightened Editor

After reading the novel, Zhang Lintian inadvertently clicked on Li Mo's author information, only to find that he actually wrote another novel. Out of curiosity, Zhang Lintian couldn't help but click on the novel called Tomb Robbery Record.

After more than 10 minutes, Zhang Lintian's face turned pale, and his body was deeply sunken into the chair. His lips were purple and his body was trembling slightly.

After another 10 minutes, Zhang Lintian finally recovered from that state of fear, he sat up straight, stared at the computer screen tightly, and quickly recalled the plot of the whole story in his mind.

It was only in an instant that he realized that if he continued to write this novel, it was likely to become a fire.

The online novel industry in this world is developing very slowly, and the classification of similar fantasy novels, fairy tale novels, supernatural novels and other novels has not yet been summarized. The most popular on the market are traditional martial arts novels.

The tomb robbery record that Li Mo is writing now can be said to have developed a new genre.

Zhang Lintian didn't know what was going on in the online novel industry. But as a well-known director, he is very keenly aware of the great potential for film and television adaptation of this novel.

With a deep breath, Zhang Lintian picked up his mobile phone and opened the address book, found a name called Li Aiguo, and dragged it out.

The phone was connected, and a gentle male voice came from there.

"Lao Zhang, why are you in the mood today, call me?"

"Lao Li, I found an amazing thing, and I want you to help you palm your eyes. ”

"It's so mysterious, what did you Lao Zhang find again? Could it be that you went somewhere to find some fake things? Lao Zhang didn't say you, you don't understand antiques, don't get those things, how many times have you been deceived, why don't you have a long memory?"

Li Aiguo is Zhang Lintian's close friend and a well-known screenwriter in China.

Zhang Lintian is a director, and he often needs to go to some places to film, and when he is not filming, he likes to go to local people's houses to find some family heirlooms from other people's families.

also said that he was picking up the leak, but in the end, the leak was not picked up, but he was cheated of a lot of money.

"It's not an antique, it's a novel, a novel with a lot of potential. ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for two seconds.

"Novel, your old Zhang isn't lying to me, is he?"

"Why am I lying to you? The name of the novel is Tomb Robbery Record, and it is published on the website of the Phantom Sword Alliance, you can go and check it out. ”

"Okay then, I'll take a look. ”

Half an hour passed, and Zhang Lintian still did not receive a reply from Li Aiguo.

He couldn't help muttering secretly: "That old boy shouldn't have gone to see it, right?"

He thought about it and dialed Li Aiguo's phone again, but it turned out that it was Li Aiguo's wife who answered the phone.

"Sister-in-law, why did you answer the phone?

"Hey, don't say it. Lao Li didn't know why, he suddenly had a heart attack, and he just got into the ambulance at this time. ”

Zhang Lintian was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then he remembered that Li Aiguo had the old problem of heart disease, and what surprised him even more was that reading this novel actually scared people out of heart disease.

"It's a bit wicked. Zhang Lin complained every day.

After confirming that Li Aiguo's condition was basically under control, Zhang Lintian breathed a sigh of relief, took the phone, and dialed Lin Xi's phone number.

Lin Xi was lying on the bed, playing with the two dragon and phoenix bells, having a lot of fun. Suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing, and hurriedly opened the mobile phone with her slightly chubby and white hands, and didn't pay attention to the caller ID, and asked directly.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Xiaolin, it's me. ”

"Director Zhang, why did you call me suddenly? It can't be a temporary shooting mission, right?"

finally rested for half a day, Lin Xi didn't want to be arrested to be a strong man

"It's not a matter of shooting, I just want to ask if Li Mo is with you?"

"yes, he's right next to me, writing a novel. By the way, Director Zhang, have you read the novels he wrote?

"Very good, very well written, do you have time for the evening? I will invite you to dinner, and by the way, I will pay him Li Mo's salary. ”

When Lin Xi heard about eating, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"There was time, of course there was time. ”

Hanging up the phone, Lin Xi cheered: "Someone invited us to dinner at night." ”

"Someone invited to dinner, who?" Ding Qianwen asked curiously, the figure of Yu Chenghou appeared in her mind for the first time, he had invited Lin Xi to eat with him more than once, but Lin Xi refused.

"Director, director invited me to dinner. ”

"Why did the director invite you to dinner?" Ding Qianwen asked curiously.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Not just invited me to dinner, he asked me to bring Li Mo with him, saying that he wanted to pay him a salary." ”

was writing a gift of a novel, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Lin Xi, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true, am I going to lie to you?" Lin Xi glared at him viciously, obviously still angry about what he was scared of.

Li Mo ignored her, thinking happily in his heart, he actually had 5,000 yuan in his account at a time, when did it become so easy to make money.

They continued to chat here, and a strange thing happened at the headquarters of the Phantom Sword Alliance.

Ying Ning is the editor in charge of Li Mo, and Li Mo is the most important of the authors she is responsible for.

Therefore, she has been paying attention to Li Mo's every move on the website, chasing his novels, and paying attention to the comment section of his novels, so as to judge the reaction of his novels among readers.

After summarizing these days, Ying Ning found that in addition to the slow update of Li Mo's novels, the response was unusually good.

Many readers are upright, and how happy they are scolding are, how much they are engaged in watching them.

Because of Li Mo's slow updates, readers call him a tractor. is also because Li Mo is updated every weekend, and some readers jokingly call him a weekend husky.

The Phantom Sword Alliance Company adopts a flexible working system, with two days off per week, but the rest time is not fixed on weekends.

This is a method that the company has come up with in order to maintain the normal operation of the website, and the whole company must keep a part of the people on duty no matter what. This is how to respond to unexpected situations.

Today is the weekend, but Ying Ning did not rest, but worked in the company. As usual, after she finished dealing with the matter at hand, she habitually clicked on Li Mo's author information.

Only then did I find out that Li Mo had only updated one chapter of Breaking the Sky today, and this amount of update did not conform to Li Mo's previous update habits.

Although he used to only update on weekends, the number of updates per day for two days on weekends was about fourteen or fifteen chapters, so that the average was about two chapters per day. It's not that slow, but such an update will cause a lower reading experience for readers, so there are a lot of people scolding him in his comment section.

Ying Ning sat in her pink office chair, frowning and thinking about why Li Mo's update volume was not up to the target today.

"Could it be that he has something important to attend to?"

Ying Ning shook her head and didn't care about Li Mo's affairs anymore. She knew that Li Mo was still a high school student, and it was difficult for him to update steadily. So although there are some situations now, Ying Ning didn't think about contacting Li Mo and urging him to update.

That's something they said they had when they signed the contract. At the same time, it is also the policy set by the editor-in-chief Xiao Yu, saying that it is to leave enough creative freedom for this author.

Ying Ning stretched his waist and didn't care about this matter anymore, thinking that he would be thinking about communicating with the author when he still updated it next week.

"Go get a cup of coffee and wake up!"

The welfare of Phantom Sword Company is very good, and the company will provide employees with coffee, milk, and bread. The atmosphere inside the company is also very good.

Ying Ning went to pick up coffee, and just when she walked into the aisle, a female frequency editor named White Fox suddenly screamed in horror.

"It's scary!"

The white fox is a short-haired cute girl, and her popularity in the company is very good.

"White Fox, what's going on?"

The white fox's face turned pale, his fingers trembled and pointed to the screen in front of him, and his lips turned purple, "This novel is too scary." ”

Ying Ning was next to the white fox, she put down the cup, went over and patted the white fox on the back, calming her emotions.

Then he began to quickly scan the screen in front of him.

Two minutes later, Ying Ning, like the white fox, was weak and sat directly on an empty chair next to her.

Other colleagues were shocked to see her like this. A male colleague who was closer came over to look at the name of the novel and yelled at the others, "The name of the novel is Tomb Robbery Record, but can a novel really be so scary?"

A group of colleagues, some came to comfort the two female colleagues, this is a good opportunity to get closer to the beauty.

And some straight male colleagues, when they heard that the novel was so scary, instantly became interested.

Curious, I opened the website and searched for it.

Ten minutes later, the entire office area of the Phantom Sword was in a wail, and everyone was trembling and lying in their chairs as if they had been squeezed dry.

The wailing in the office area naturally caused the company's leadership, and leaders large and small came out of their offices.

Twenty minutes later, it was no longer the public office area that was wailing, and the leaders who were still working in the company were all pale and obviously frightened.

After a while, seeing that everyone's emotions were calmed down a lot, Xiao Yu called everyone to organize an impromptu meeting.

"Let's talk about it, what should we do with his new novel?"

"It's sealed! It's terrifying. If someone with heart disease sees this, then they can't just get sick?"

"I'm also in favor of the lockdown, it's so scary, I wonder if I will have nightmares when I go back to sleep at night. ”

The first few to speak were all editors-in-charge, and they were all scared into a cold sweat by the novel, and now they are all full of resentment.

"Wouldn't it be a pity that such a novel was sealed? If you run it a little, it will definitely become popular, right?"

"That's the truth, I just don't know if the relevant departments will intervene, this novel is indeed a bit scary. ”

"Is there any technical way to keep this novel alive?"

The people who spoke behind were all leaders, big and small.

Xiao Yu listened to everyone's opinions, looked at Ying Ning and said, "Ying Ning, tell me, this is the author you are responsible for, what do you think?"

Ying Ning's face was still a little pale now, and it seemed that she had not completely broken free from her frightened emotions.

Under the table, one of her hands squeezed the water glass tightly, pursed her lips and said, "Will it cause Li Mo's disgust if it is directly sealed?" Everyone can see the popularity of Breaking the Sky Dome, and in such a short period of time, he has created a new high-quality work, but it is still a new genre. In light of this, I think the company should re-evaluate his important new. And not just thinking about the problem of this new novel. ”

"No matter what kind of heavyweight author he is, he should be sealed for writing such a scary thing, if this is allowed to develop, how many people will be frightened?

The person in charge of the group who spoke was the editor in charge of a different group from Ying Ning, who was already so popular that he was blushing and breaking through the sky, and now he was almost scared half to death by Li Mo's new book, and the new hatred and old hatred were added together, so he didn't want to make Li Mo's work feel good at this time.

Naturally, the leaders did not think the same way as the workers, and what they saw was that the new novel did have the potential to be a fire, but at the same time it faced some legal and moral risks. They think more about how to overcome these risks.

"Don't talk about the useless, think about how you can avoid the risks that this novel will face. Although this novel is a bit of a thriller, in general, as long as the follow-up quality does not collapse, it is likely to get good results. "There are leaders who speak and make decisions.

A group of people in the company brainstormed and brainstormed for a long time, but after all, they didn't come up with any useful methods.

The leaders had no choice but to let everyone go down and continue to think about it, and they themselves went to run through the acquaintances to see how to solve this matter.
