Chapter 0076 - Novel Revision
"How's it going, did it pass?"
At noon, Ai Xiaosheng and four master's students were eating in the cafeteria, and on the long table on the second floor, Ai Xiaosheng smiled and asked the dimples and glasses graduate students.
"Uh-huh," the glasses graduate nodded, "Dr. Mu is still very talkative." โ
The dimple graduate student also nodded in agreement, and then fed a mouthful of food into his mouth, and the words in his heart did not come out, although he usually looked cold, but about scientific research, it was still very humane.
"You two should also complete your own project as soon as possible! Find Dr. Mu as soon as possible, and then you can enter your own scientific research project as soon as possible. โ
Ai Xiaosheng said to the other two graduate students.
"Yes. โ
Seeing that their two graduate students have obtained permission for their own projects, they naturally complete their projects as soon as possible.
A large part of the reason why the power of the tutor in the current academic circle is very large is because the tutor holds the experience and financial power.
Without experience and without a mentor to guide you, you simply won't be able to develop your own project. Engaging in scientific research is not something that can be learned by doing chores to the tutor, and many experiences do not belong to the material theory, and these rich scientific research experiences can lead students to step into scientific research.
And financial power is more obvious.
Engaging in scientific research costs money, and it is not a small amount of money. If there is no money, the project will not be carried out at all, and if there is no project, there will be no data, and then the thesis will not be published, and finally it will not be able to graduate.
Now Mu Jingchi is already half of their mentor.
This also means that their project is with Mu Jingchi's money. When it comes to money, even if it's a mentor, it's not that they don't care.
After all, they have little experience in working on projects independently, and in this case, they can expect the number of experimental failures.
And this kind of failure, except for a bunch of data, has little other effect, purely a heap of experience with money.
But Mu Jingchi's attitude towards them was very friendly, and he was really touched by letting them carry out their own independent projects.

When Ai Xiaosheng and these master's students were discussing the issue of Mu Jingchi, he himself welcomed guests.
Because of time and work, Mu Jingchi didn't have much time to run around.
So it was the other party who came to Huaqing University to find him.
Huaqing University has a large area, and all kinds of commercial shops inside are also readily available, and a quiet and suitable tea and coffee was selected, and Mu Jingchi and Luo Xinrui sat opposite each other.
"Regarding the publication of "Guest", we have agreed, and we have communicated with Manager Ren, including the promotion and distribution of the book, and we have reached an intention to cooperate. โ
The waiter brought a set of tea sets, and the spring water in the teapot gradually boiled.
Mu Jingchi nodded, these Ren Feiying had all reported to him by phone, "Is there anything that needs to be revised in the novel?"
"Yes, there are some things that need to be changed. โ
Luo Xinrui took out the printed manuscript from her bag and handed it over, "I have made annotations or revisions for the places that need to be corrected, you can take a look." โ
Mu Jingchi didn't feel that he was talented on the road of literature, to the extent that a novel shocked the world.
He also expected that the novel would need to be revised.
Picking up the manuscript and reading it, the waiter next to him was washing the tea with boiling water, and then brewing the fresh tea leaves into the teapot and slowly putting the tea into the teacup.
Luo Xinrui took the waiter's tea, blew on it, and then took a sip.
"At a young age, I actually like to drink tea. At the same time, she also observed Mu Jingchi without paying attention, and the other party carefully flipped through the manuscript in her hand, and the calm temperament came out spontaneously, which was perfectly integrated with the atmosphere of this tea and coffee, and there was really a natural harmony.
Pleasing to the eye.
Rao is Luo Xinrui has seen a lot of people, artists and writers, but someone as special as Mu Jingchi still moved her.
The kind of upright, unaware, and introverted image of science and engineering ridiculed on the Internet is not shown to the other party. The other party's dress is extremely decent, whether it is hairstyle or clothes, they are all clean and fresh.
The conversation is not procrastinated, concise and to the point, which is completely different from the kind of ridicule on the Internet.
The other party is not only strong in science and engineering, but also has no low attainments in literature and music, and the literary and artistic charm brought by this kind of literature and music is well grasped by the other party and integrated into his own character.
As a result, the other party has both cold and high IQ and connotation literary and artistic style, and the two temperaments are fused together, and the charm of cold and introverted is becoming more and more prominent.
If he enters the entertainment industry again, it is estimated that he will be a new generation of traffic superstar. โ

Mu Jingchi browsed through the manuscript that had been annotated and revised, and nodded secretly while looking at it and comparing the annotations.
"There is still more style and rhythm of online articles, and the words and sentences are too plain and not so diverse. โ
Even if he has paid attention to it, but the style is completely imperceptible, and in his previous life, he studied the writing method of online writing, so he naturally had some online writing style.
For example, the rhythm should be tighter, and the promotion of the storyline will be faster.
The total word count is only 300,000 words, and the storyline progresses too fast, and the reader is like riding a roller coaster, reading exciting. But it is only stimulating, thinking is not enough, and the characters lack a sense of three-dimensionality, that is, the overall lack of connotation.
Mu Jingchi originally felt that his writing was good, but the editing was still professional, and he gained a lot from the annotations and suggestions of the publishing house.
"Editor Luo, if you change it like this, the number of words will increase. Mu Jingchi still agrees with some of the revisions, and since he has come up with this story and published a book, he will try to make it the best.
"Yes," Luo Xinrui put down the teacup in his hand, "but after discussion, we think that your two stories are very good, we might as well expand and separate them, make the content and characters of the stories more detailed, and publish two volumes, a "Guest" set." โ
"What do you think?"
The story is good and deserves more detail, but that's not the main reason. The main reason is that if you publish two books, you can make more money.
Mu Jingchi pondered for a moment, the expanded content can undoubtedly make the characters more fleshed out and fuller, but will it slow down the pace of the storyline?
If that's the case, then the story seems to drag on and turn into a water word count.
Once the pace of the story is broken, it will inevitably have to be revised again, and perhaps it will be a protracted battle.
This is not what Mu Jingchi wants to see, it will take too much energy.
"If the suit is released, how much are you going to price?" Mu Jingchi did not reply, but asked a sharp question.
"We will negotiate the price of the final book with you, and we will write this clause into the contract. โ
Luo Xinrui obviously anticipated a lot of questions, and was prepared in her heart to respond to Mu Jingchi.
