Chapter 17, University of Online Literature.
"Tsk, it doesn't feel easy. Xu Ergou smacked his lips and said.
"It's really not easy, I've also read your book, the plot description is average, and it's not very strong in terms of emotional intake, just like when the heroine is sad, your description is like a bystander, only saying that she is sad, but you can't say how sad she is.
So, this place is your shortcoming, but also the shortcomings of some new authors, many new authors don't understand why their books have a high number of hits at the beginning, but as the update takes longer, the fewer and fewer readers, and they feel that there is no obvious problem when they read it themselves.
But in the final analysis, it is the emotional aspect that is not very strong, which causes the reader to be unable to appreciate the emotions of the protagonist in the book, and the reader is like a bystander watching the excitement, so that the reader gives up halfway through the reading.
And your book, although it has written more than a million words, there is still a lot of room for change, as long as you make a little revision, it is no problem to attract the reader's interest and continue reading. Qianfeng said.
"I also know that this is my shortcoming, but unfortunately, I am just a monk who has become a monk halfway, I don't know anything, and I can't contact an editor before I sign a contract.
I've been on Xingchen Literature Network for three years, and if it weren't for you, the boss of Qianfeng, I might still be constantly opening new books, changing various types of books, and then trying to sign a contract. Xu Ergou said a little dejectedly.
"This actually has nothing to do with me, but has something to do with your creation, think about it, you have been in Xingchen Literature Network for three years, and you can't sign a contract for all kinds of books, on the contrary, why can this book be?" asked Qianfeng rhetorically.
"I..."Xu Ergou was a little dumbfounded,
"Yes, I've been on the Xingchen Literature Network for three years, why can't I sign a contract for the previous books, but this time?" Xu Ergou muttered in his heart.
"Hehe, I don't even know myself. Xu Ergou held his head and thought for a long time, and spit out such a sentence.
"Actually, in the past three years, you should not only have submitted manuscripts on Xingchen Literature Network, you should have also submitted manuscripts on other literary websites, right, but you have not signed a contract. Qianfeng said.
"Yes, I did go to several other literary websites to submit papers, but they were all rejected. Xu Ergou said.
"That's right, I was rejected by other literary websites, but I signed a contract with Xingchen Literature Network, is it because Xingchen Literature Network has a lower starting point than other literary networks?" asked Qianfeng.
"No, I've been to websites with a lower starting point than Xingchen Literature Network, but I still haven't signed a contract, on the contrary, some spicy chicken articles that are lower than what I wrote have already signed a contract.
It's because of this that I doubt my own strength, and there is an article I wrote and changed, changed and wrote several times, but I didn't succeed in signing the contract.
In the end, I almost stopped writing the article, but I didn't expect that I wrote this book with the mentality of writing the last book, never signing a contract again, and never writing a book again, but I unexpectedly met the signing conditions.
I was so happy that I was flying from the abyss to the sky. Xu Ergou said.
"That's right, three years of training have honed your writing level to a certain extent, and also let you know how to write the golden three chapters at the beginning, which made you write an unexpected effect when you were most depressed.
However, there is one thing I have to criticize you, you have been in Xingchen Literature Network for three years, but whenever you ask customer service, why can't you sign the contract, you can sign your book earlier, why wait for these three years. Qianfeng said.
"This, Boss Qianfeng, what do you say?" Xu Ergou was a little confused, isn't it the editor's business to sign the contract? When does it have anything to do with customer service.
"Call you stupid, you are really stupid, it has been fourteen or fifteen years since the establishment of Xingchen Literature Network, from establishment to development, to stability, I don't know how many hardships I have experienced, and I have cooperated with countless authors.
However, in order to achieve the stable development of Xingchen Literature Network and continuously inject fresh blood, Xingchen Literature Network established a newcomer youth training class one year after its establishment.
The purpose of the establishment of this youth training class is to help Xingchen Literature Network cultivate new authors, and to help new authors sign contracts and stay in Xingchen Literature Network for a longer time.
Including the author, everyone knows that Xingchen Literature Network has such a youth class, but it just needs new authors to contact customer service for guidance.
You, a rookie author, have been in Xingchen Literature Network for three years, and you don't know the existence of the academy, and I'm also convinced.
Not to mention anything else, you only need to search the past of Xingchen Literature Network on the Internet, you can know the existence of this youth class, after all, on the introduction page of Xingchen Literature Network, this newcomer benefit of Xingchen Literature Network is also written in,
With a little attention, you can enter the rookie academy for training and successfully complete the signing, so I don't know whether to call you stupid or stupid. Qianfeng said with a disgusted face.
"I ...... I ......" Xu Ergou listened, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"What are you, but fortunately, your perseverance is quite strong, and you have persevered for three years, but fortunately, your persistence in the past three years has not been in vain, although it has made you take a lot of detours, but at least you know how to start. Qianfeng praised.
"But even if you know how to start and start telling your story, it's still the same as I said, the ability to bring in emotions is too poor, so you still need to continue to learn. Dry Wind continued.
"No, Boss Qianfeng, in the past three years, in order to be able to meet the signing conditions, I have read countless books of various types before I can barely meet the signing conditions.
I may not really be very good at writing this emotional intake, and then reading the books written by other people, I estimate that I will have to wait three or five years to bring emotions into this piece to make up for it.
In this way, I can't catch up with the time, and the book I wrote has to be shelved for a long time, and I can't even participate in this league, and I lost to that fat woman. Xu Ergou said with a sad face.
"Hehe, don't worry? Who said that you should go to other people's books, just like you, observing for three or five years may not be able to bring emotions into the aspect and write well.
Besides, since I have pointed out your shortcomings in this regard, I have naturally found something for you to make up for your shortcomings in this regard. Qianfeng said with a smile.
"Hmm, is there any quick tactic that makes me grow quickly?" Xu Ergou came to his senses and hurriedly asked.
"It's not like to grow fast, but it's okay to make up for your shortcomings. Qianfeng said.
"Really, what way?" Xu Ergou's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to see through Qianfeng's heart, and he kept hanging his appetite.
"I received news today that at the beginning of next year, the University of Online Literature may be opened, and preparations are already underway, but the specific notice has not yet come down. Qianfeng said.
"What is this for?" Xu Ergou had never heard of such a university, so he asked.
"Nettext University, as the name suggests, is a school that trains authors and teaches them how to write essays, layouts, plot stories, and side story development.
Every time the online literature university opens, we go to the editorial meeting to give lectures to the authors who come to study, and the authors and tutors of Xingchen Literature Network will go up to talk about their writing experience and creative experience.
So, this is a great opportunity for you to make up for your lack of online articles.
It's just that the university only opens once every few years, and the location of the school is different each time, but there is a great chance that it will open in Yanjing this year. Qianfeng said.
"Really? That's great, I'll stay in Yenching and wait for the University of Online Literature to open. Xu Ergou said excitedly.
"But as the saying goes, the master leads the door, the practice is in the individual, although the online university can make up for your shortcomings, but it can only play a role in assisting the side, if you want to really write a good essay and bring readers into the book, it depends on how you write yourself. Qianfeng said.
"I try to listen to the opinions of the readers as much as possible, combine the state that the readers want to bring in, and then write it into the text, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Xu Ergou said.
"Okay, I'll send you a message when the opening day of the University is set, and when the time comes, you must go. Qianfeng said.
"Boss Qianfeng, let me ask a question, during the opening of the online literature university, if no one goes, will it be embarrassing. Xu Ergou didn't know what to think, and suddenly opened his mouth to say.
"No, every time the university opens, thousands of authors will come to report and study, and there will be no situation like no one comes.
Because this is a rare opportunity for all new authors, even some editors will require all their authors to study at the online literature university.
This is of great benefit to all authors, and almost no one will turn down this opportunity, after all, if you miss next year's online university, the next semester may be a few years away.
So, this worry of yours is completely unnecessary. Qianfeng was stunned and spoke.
"It's you, a pig, who thinks like this, and others don't think like you. Xia Youhan opened his mouth and sneered.
"Slightly..."Xu Ergou stuck out his tongue at Xia Youhan, with an expression of what can you do with me, and glanced at Xia Youhan with a sneer.
"Cut~, naïve!" Xia Youhan glanced at Xu Ergou speechlessly and said softly.
"Why haven't the food come up yet, I'm hungry. Xu Ergou rubbed his gurgling belly and said.
"How long have you been sitting down, where will the food be so fast, but it is estimated that it will be soon, you drink more water, carry the hunger." Xia Youhan rolled his eyes and said.
Not long after Xia Youhan finished speaking, the dishes were quickly served, and the three of them chatted while eating, and they parted after eating for more than an hour.
"Let's go. After the dry wind left, Xu Ergou said to Xia Youhan.
"Why are you going?" Xia Youhan asked with some confusion.
"What else can you do, share the spoils, have you forgotten the more than one million we robbed last night?" Xu Ergou shook the bank card in his hand and said.
"Well, okay, let's go. Xia Youhan thought about it, nodded and said, Anyway, it's for nothing, it's for white, and it's not for idiots.
Xu Ergou took out his mobile phone and called a taxi on the Internet, and while waiting for the car, he remembered that he didn't seem to have flipped through the circle of friends for a long time, and he was bored waiting for the car anyway, so he clicked on the circle of friends.
As soon as Xu Ergou clicked on the circle of friends, a friend news attracted his attention:
"Missing person notice, the picture below is my friend, come to Yanjing to play, now people suddenly lost contact, before the loss of contact my friend was emotionally unstable, if anyone sees her, please contact me quickly. ”
