"Is it dawn?"

The screen of his mobile phone is still on, but Shi Xiangming's heart is full of ups and downs, and he is really amazed by the suspense novel "Guest".

After updating "Sweet Wife: The President Loves Me Again" last night, she was lying in bed and remembered Mu Jingchi's suspense novel.

I was going to just watch it for a while before bed.

But the development of the story is so fascinating, the first 'mechanical' story is actually about 'artificial intelligence'.

She followed the plot of the male protagonist of Dick, so she also thought that the 'artificial intelligence' was imprisoned by humans, and what the male protagonist did was justice.

And then the reversal of the final ending, the artificial intelligence threw the male protagonist in a closed villa without emotion at all, leaving him to fend for himself.

At this time, she felt the horror of having a real consciousness of 'artificial intelligence'.

I also admire the storyline, and some of them have speculations about 'artificial intelligence' and philosophical issues, which are actually very thought-provoking.

Without thinking much about it, Shi Xiangming went on to read the second story 'Murder'.

The word 'murder' already names the main thrust of this story, which is about a murder case. The previous narrative was linear, while this one is multi-linear.

But Mu Jingchi's writing is good, and it doesn't make the multi-line narrative seem cluttered, and there is always a line that connects the story.

At first, it was a little inexplicable, but after the follow-up story unfolded, it became exciting, and the content that was not noticed before was dug up in the back, forming a reversal.

A flurry of reversals is just right, not reversals for the sake of reversals.

Shi Xiangming has basically guessed the final ending, but he still applauds the wonderfulness of this 'murder' chapter.

The two articles are 300,000 words, and the stories are extremely concise, but the portrayal of the characters is also presentable, and it does not seem stereotypical. 300,000 words is only 150 chapters in an online novel, and Shi Xiangming's reading speed is slowed down because of the rigorous narrative.

So, before I knew it, I watched it all night.

"Sleep, sleep!"

···

"Mom, Dad, do you have any relationship with the book company?"

Following.

Mu Jingchi returned to his hometown, and his parents had nothing to do and stayed at home comfortably. Lao Ji rested because of the weekend holiday, while Lao Mu delegated things and powers, and he no longer had to do anything, so he had more time.

"Nope. ”

Lao Mu thought about it for himself, it really didn't have anything to do with it, and then looked at Lao Ji, who also shook his head.

"The novel you asked Lingling to print, we haven't started reading it yet, and you've already started looking for a book company, so confident?" Lao Mu only thinks that his son has a hobby of writing, but he has never done it before, and it seems that he has never written a novel, and he thinks about publishing it for the first time, will it be too soon.

"Yes!"

Mu Jingchi nodded, he may still be a little immature, but in terms of stories, these two stories are absolutely handy.

"I'll help you ask your colleagues when you go to work the day after tomorrow, you should be able to get in touch. ”

Lao Ji responded to Mu Jingchi, although the relationship network of national civil servants cannot do anything big, it is absolutely no problem to connect interpersonal relationships, and civil servants, public institutions and state-owned enterprises pay attention to interpersonal relationships.

"Thank you, Dad. ”

Lao Mu pushed Lao Ji, "Go to the room and take out the novel, let's see how the novel written by my son is." ”

Lao Ji has no status at home, he belongs to the good old man, and when he was urged by Lao Mu like this, he immediately put down the remote control in his hand and ran to the bedroom.

The reason why I wanted to find a book company was because Mu Jingchi also needed a reference from a professional editor.

Whether it is Fang Yihan and Zhang Chuyang, or Ji Lingling and her parents, or even online writer Shi Xiangming, they are not professional, and their positions belong to the position of ordinary readers.

Professional book editors are able to see more of what is lacking.

There are many factors that go into publishing a book, but the first factor is being able to impress editors. If you can impress the editor, the editor will recommend the book to its superiors, so that it has a chance to be published.

The book market has always been tepid in China, except for textbook books, other genres are basically in niche circles, and suspense is no exception.

Because there are not many writers who write suspense novels in China, the readership is limited, and this market is even smaller. On the contrary, in foreign countries, the suspense market is very large.

The reason why Mu Jingchi is looking for a book company instead of a publishing house is because the current market is that the book company is affiliated with the publishing house.

Because in order to publish a book in China, it must have the book number of the publishing house, so if a private book company wants to publish a book, it must also write the name of the publishing house and use the book number of the publishing house.

For example, reader culture.

For example, "Island Bookstore", which is not very popular abroad, has become a bestseller under their marketing, and it has sold well in China.

And what kind of gimmick is there like a must-read book in life at every turn.

If the quality of the book is good, Mu Jingchi actually does not object to this kind of marketing, because this can be seen by more people and cultivate people's interest in reading.

But if the quality of the book is not good, this marketing becomes deception.

"It's thick!"

The family didn't care about a little paper money, so Ji Lingling did not reduce the font size, but printed it according to the Mu Jingchi code font size.

Although it is printed on both sides, the 300,000 words printed out are more than 200 pages.

Stacked together, it looks like a monograph.

Dad walked back to the couch with the document that hadn't been bound together and placed it on the marble table.

Mu Jingchi leaned over, "This book is composed of two separate stories, you can read one by one first, and exchange it after reading." ”

Lao Ji Chong Mu Jingchi raised his thumb, "With the energy you spend, your father and I can publish a book for you at my own expense." ”

"You can rest assured!" Mu Jingchi smiled, "Even if you pay the money, I don't need you to pay, I still have a lot of money in my own hands!"

Lao Mu rolled his eyes at Lao Ji at this time, "What, you still have a small vault! Listen to what you mean, this vault doesn't seem to be small!"

"No, no, just a little pocket money. ”

As soon as this person was proud, he was easy to show his stuffing, Lao Ji pretended to pat his mouth, and hurriedly explained.

However, Lao Mu didn't pursue this matter, it's enough to be addicted, there is no need to really take this kind of thing seriously. It's normal to have their own little coffers, and besides, they're regrouping their families.

"Mom, you read, read, and come up with ideas for your son. Mu Jingchi received Lao Ji's eyes, quickly diverted the topic, and recommended books for his mother with a smile.

"It's about the 'artificial intelligence' side of things, and you must be interested. ”
