Chapter 388: The Sea of Books
"Of course the book sells well, but the content should be paid attention to!" Li Jianguo was a little worried, his son's future knowledge in his head, if it was analyzed, it would be fatal.
"You'll have to take care of it yourself, I probably won't be able to help. Li Jianguo said.
Li Yiming nodded lightly: "I know." So it's not like you want to copy books, my technical background in writing these books will not be beyond this era, well, I will write according to the current situation,......
Now when I read these miscellaneous newspapers, I just want to know the level of technology in this era, and the content will never leak. By the way, there is no need for smuggling, just regular issuance. ”
Looking at Comrade Jianguo's careful listening, Li Yiming said: "However, at present, it is not very convenient to sell Chinese books directly abroad, so it is better to use foreign languages directly. Well, maybe I'll have to write some of it myself first, it's the first volume anyway, and I'll be fine with 20,000 words. ”
"Can you write with this?" Li Jianguo was a little inexplicably worried, looking at the machine and listening to his son's meaning, did he want the machine to translate the book.
"Well, direct translation definitely doesn't work, these are used as prompt words, and I made this up to become proficient in these words. I also learned a lot of expressions from reading the newspaper before. ”
Li Yiming didn't stop in his hand, nor did he pause in his mouth, "Dad, do you know what a book that makes people feel good looks like?"
"This ......" Li Jianguo hesitated, "Thoughtful?"
"When you talk about one, there are actually four elements in a book:
One is called the subject matter and the worldview, which you can understand as the world environment described in a book.
The second is called ideology, that is, the position, what kind of tendency the writer wants to express.
The third one is called the plot, which is the little story in the book, and this one is very rhythmic, of course, people nowadays are not so picky. The last one is the writing, which is smooth and beautiful, gorgeous and various styles......"
Li Jianguo silently wrote: "Sounds difficult?"
"It's not difficult, these four elements can be important respectively, you know I have a lot of themes, in fact, this is the biggest advantage, because the copyright is in hand, others can only develop under your setting.
Plot, that's more, I have tens of thousands of plots to use, and that rhythm, I'll grasp this, and in the end, I'll pick the most suitable one for the writing, semantic pronunciation. ”
It seemed to be really simple, and Li Jianguo began to get excited: "How much foreign exchange can be created in this way?"
"You can't imagine it! Maybe you can make hundreds of millions of dollars with one book. Li Yiming only made a rough estimate and quoted hundreds of millions, but in fact it was far more than that.
Looking at his father, Li Yiming added: "I'll get three hundred and sixty-five copies first!"
"What?" Li Jianguo was stupid when he heard it, three hundred and sixty-five copies, isn't it a whole year to read one a day?
"This number is exquisite. I have to enclose the land, well, it means that in order to occupy the market, occupy the time of readers, let them read one book a day, and they don't have the heart to work for a year. ”
Li Yiming looked at his father, his hand tapping on the keyboard without a pause.
Let people watch it every day,... I don't have the heart to work...... Li Jianguo barely found the logic here, and lowered his voice: "You must remember what you can't write." ”
Li Yiming nodded: "I know, those are not good, but there are a lot of themes I have extracted, and I have come according to the type of reader."
And I will also decompose different similar books according to the audience, different ages, different genders, different classes, different jobs, in short, their preferences and needs are different, so you can adjust the details, and it is another book. ”
Li Jianguo's scalp tingled when he heard it, and he always felt that the writer was very powerful, and it was very remarkable to be able to write one book in his life, but what his son said was like a production line making a book.
"Wait a minute......," Li Jianguo stared at his son, "Then it took you two days to write those two books before, how long will it take you to write these three hundred and sixty-five books?"
"It's not a lot of work, I only plan to produce 20,000 words first, and 365 books are 7.3 million words. The two or three long books in my head are 10 million words. This can be done within a month. ”
Li Yiming said it lightly, Li Jianguo's scalp was numb, how did he get so many words...... It's horrible.
"The main thing is that I have to use foreign languages, not just English, so I have to make a better translation software to reduce my workload. But these can be slower, English first, anyway, English can be understood by people in many countries, and it can be sold again in various languages in the future!
The themes Li Yiming said were actually summed up by himself, anyway, there are too many protagonists in it, and they are also entertaining at every turn, so the highlights of various film and television name introductions are all in the book.
In order to seize the territory as much as possible, Li Yiming adopted the production method of permutation and combination:
He first distilled the protagonists into five categories: boys, girls, young men, young women, and animals.
Then add seven world environments: Reality, Past, Apocalypse, Ancient, East Fantasy, West Fantasy, and Game World.
Then, in order to be able to talk nonsense, put a number of golden fingers on the protagonist: system, rebirth, crossing, portable space, clairvoyance, perspective eye, and the wind ear, run fast and have the strength to cook...... Abilities.
There is no problem at all with these combinations to make up 365 kinds, in fact, there can be more, but that is the second phase of the project.
The above is the most important basic setting, and after this setting is completed, you can pour into it those plots that will be in a good mood but have no nutrition:
Treasure hunting, solving crimes, sports and entertainment, raising flowers and trees, raising cattle and fish, you can also raise monsters, pretend to be pigs, eat tigers, pretend to be slapped in the face, keep making money, buying, buying, and constantly adding houses, cars, airplanes, ranches, farms, fisheries, and various luxury goods to the asset list,......
In short, it is to let the protagonist enjoy the fun of life in various ways, and the ass An rocket goes straight to the sky from the bottom of the society, and everyone loves flowers and flowers.
There are those big IPs here, Jurassic Park, Plants vs. Zombies, and the like.
......
"Actually, it's not that difficult, I have ready-made settings, character setting stories, the beginning of 20,000 words, I conceive in my head, and then it's typing, it's no problem to have two or three books an hour. Seeing his father's face full of worry, Li Yiming comforted.
"That's got to be ...... You don't sleep?"
"I've got the time scheduled, I can think about it when I sleep, I can type it when I wake up, you don't have to worry, it's done. Li Yiming gestured to his hand, "Look, how fast!"
"Aren't your hands sore?"
"No," Li Yiming thought for a while, "Thirty years later, many people's hand speed is also very fast, I don't know if it's true, it may have something to do with brain deterioration....."
Brains are more important than hands, right?
Li Jianguo was speechless, reached out and took a book and flipped through it: "20,000 words, how many words?
"The alphabet is going to be longer, and I don't want it to be all words, I'm going to use a special format, which is called a notebook. ”
"What notebook book, notebook book?"
"That's right, although the book is the same as this one. But the layout is different, each page will be one size larger, the number of words will be less, and the page will be more than half empty. Li Yiming said.
