Chapter 2: Do a big thing
That's right, Yi Chao is actually an online writer - a street writer! According to his own words, he is an Internet writer, and he is not embarrassed to be called an author.
Yi Chao's entry into the online literature industry was mostly influenced by Jiang Lei. Because Jiang Lei is also an author of online novels, he entered the industry earlier than Yi Chao, almost more than ten years, and there are several novels that have worked well.
In particular, the famous works "Locomotive Boy" and "The Years of Chasing the Wind" have made him enter the ranks of fifth-level writers in one fell swoop, and he is one step away from the great god writers.
"Locomotive Boy" and "The Years of Chasing the Wind" were co-produced by film and television companies into a TV series "Chasing You with the Wind", and the ratings were gratifying. As a result, Jiang Lei became popular and obtained considerable copyright income.
Yi Chao also saw Jiang Lei's considerable income, so he resolutely quit his job as a tired and angry sales clerk. Concentrate on writing novels and stories in front of the computer, and occasionally take some time to do odd jobs to earn some extra money.
It's just that there are very few readers, and the income is even more insignificant. Thanks to the fact that the working hours of temporary workers are well managed, and the income is still barely enough, they are able to normalize their lives.
Yi Chao has been in the online literary world for several years, and several novels he has written are all Xianxia. The debut novel "Ninety-Nine Golden Immortals" was originally thought to be a pioneering work, but it turned out to be far from imagination. The next trilogy of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon Tragedy is even more like a stone sinking into the sea.
Fortunately, with some accumulation, I can also mix some manuscript fees every month, and in this small city, I can barely support myself.
Yi Chao blew the fan, drank coffee to refresh himself, and sat in front of the computer for an afternoon. After more than four hours of coding about 4,000 words, I finally completed today's task in a hurry.
picked up the mobile phone and replaced Jiang Lei's call ringtone, the tense nerves in the brain were loosened, and the whole person suddenly lost his energy, yawning and sleepy to the extreme.
He patted his face lightly, went upstairs to take a shower, and prepared to go out.
The heart said, I don't know what mess Jiang Lei is going to do again, isn't it deliberately making an excuse to invite himself to dinner?
Since Yi Chao resigned, Jiang Lei always felt that he brought him into the pit. Yi Chao's book was not popular, the money was not earned, and his savings were gradually spent.
Jiang Lei didn't want to go, and always changed his way to invite Yi Chao to eat, which was regarded as improving his food.
Originally, the two were high school classmates, and they have known each other for more than ten years, and they get along like brothers.
Although Yi Chao felt weak, he inevitably had a strange feeling of being raised. However, who called him Jiang Lei a brother who wore the same pants as him?
Not only do you have to eat, but you also have to pack it after you have eaten and drunk enough.
When I came out of the shower, I looked at my mobile phone, and there were two missed calls from Jiang Lei, so I dialed them back directly.
The phone was immediately connected, and Jiang Lei began to complain, urging: "What are you doing? Why don't you always answer the phone? Hurry down, I've already gone downstairs, waiting for you in the underground parking lot." ”
Yi Chao said: "This house is your own, you are the landlord, and you are not without a key." The phone didn't get through, and I didn't know if I would come up and sit for a while. ”
Jiang Lei smiled evilly: "I won't go up, in case I see you doing something bad." I'm scared of you, if you can't do things in the future, won't you have to rely on me. ”
Yi Chao knew that he liked to joke, and said, "Okay, what are you doing with the melon seeds in your head all day long?" ”
I hung up the phone and took the elevator directly down to the parking lot on the second floor.
Jiang Lei had already parked the car outside the elevator exit, and when he saw that Yi had exceeded the elevator, he immediately waved and shouted: "Here, hurry up, don't let those two beauties wait...... Urgent...... ......"
Suddenly found that Yi Chao had shaved his hair into a board, and immediately smiled: "I'll go, how did you make yourself look like this?" Your hair is too short, and you don't know how ......to shave off your mustache."
looked at Yi Chao with his eyes, and then said: "You have a T-shirt, big shorts, and a pair of sandals." You're really good! You've lived as an old man in advance!"
Yi Chao quickly got into the car and asked, "What's wrong with me like this? Isn't it just a casual dinner?" Could it be that you want to invite me to a five-star restaurant? Oh...... By the way, you called them both as well? No, how did you call them?"
Jiang Lei smiled and said, "What's wrong? Everyone knows each other, let's have a meal together, what's wrong?" While talking, he fastened his seat belt and started the car.
Yi Chao asked curiously: "Hey, didn't you say that there was something serious to talk about? What kind of business did you ask them to talk about? Oh, by the way, what do you want to say? Don't look like an aunt and find me a blind date." ”
When the car started, Jiang Lei looked sideways at Yi Chao with a sly smile.
Yi Chao said angrily: "Look at you like you! How do I feel like I got into a thief car." You give me a good drive!"
The car went around the parking lot, Jiang Lei looked ahead intently, and said with a smile: "Haha...... I said, why do you mention Qin Ping, you are like a thief, what happened to you?"
Yi Chao didn't want to talk about this topic, and said: "The two of us don't have anything, it's impossible, you don't mix it up blindly." Hey...... What about yourself? I know that Miss Zhou Tong ......."
"Hey...... Hey, stop, stop......" Jiang Lei heard him mention Zhou Tong, and said hurriedly: "Speaking of you, why are you pulling me here again......"
Yi Chao then asked: "Say, what is there to talk about? If you don't have anything to say, don't keep calling me to sleep, this is what annoys me the most." ”
Jiang Lei squinted at it, and said angrily: "It's really serious! Besides, I can't call you to have a meal if there's nothing to do?"
Yi Chao was a little unexpected, and asked curiously: "Say, what is unreliable this time?"
Jiang Lei was like a rat who had been stepped on by his tail, and said hurriedly: "What do you mean by unreliable things? So, this time I'm going to call you to do something big together. The tone of the last three words was deliberately dragged out.
Yi Chao saw that he was quite serious and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
Jiang Lei coughed twice, and said a little embarrassed: "Didn't I buy a small office? It was renovated last month, and I plan to open a studio, let's go together?"
Yi Chao was a little surprised and said, "Studio, what studio, didn't you spend 100,000 yuan on the decoration of your small office?"
Jiang Lei said: "Of course it's an online studio! In addition to being able to code a few words, what studio can I open?"
