On Thursday morning, Xiaobai was called to the office of the editor-in-chief, Ah Yue.

It is said to be an office, but it is actually a semi-enclosed office cubicle with a higher height than an ordinary editing desk. Of course, the cubicle is also much larger, unlike the regular editor's workstation with tables and chairs.

Xiaobai didn't know what was going on when he was called, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and said honestly: "Boss!"

"Xiaobai, I want to be quiet, "Chaos" is well written, why is this martial arts book out again, has he said hello to you?"

The huge computer screen obscured half of Ah Yue's face, and the light reflected on the screen on his glasses made him look more imposing.

Ah Yue is also an old man, of course, not as old as the famous sword, not to the level of the founding veteran, but also the second or third wave of old employees who were recruited, worked in Wanzhong for 12 years, from a hairy editor to the current channel editor-in-chief, at the cost of bald hair and thick glasses.

When he heard that this was the case, Xiaobai's mouth was a little bitter, and he said, "Boss, he didn't mention this to me." ”

Ah Yue frowned slightly, and said in an official tone: "Xiaobai, I remember telling you when you joined the company that being an online editor is not an uncle. Our most important job is to serve authors and provide them with better conditions and environment for creation. How many times have I emphasized to you and Mad Cow, what is service, to communicate more with the author, to communicate more, especially for a newcomer author like me Jingjing, to care more, to take care of more, to let him know that our urban channel is his strongest backing, do you understand?"

Xiaobai lowered his head and said, "Understood." ”

Ah Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the situation over there, can he write two books at the same time, and also ensure the amount of updates, can he take care of it energetically?"

Xiaobai said: "I asked him about this last week, and he said that "Chaos" has been completed, and the full text is 1.7 million words, so he started writing "Datang". ”

"It's already finished?" Ah Yue was a little surprised, "Chaos" was released for just over a month and was completed, I want to be quiet, I don't start sending it until I'm almost done, right?

Only a rookie will spend a few years saving a million or hundreds of thousands of manuscripts, releasing them with confidence after repeated overhauls N times, and then pounce on the faceless, such as a planet on a certain building...... ）

Ah Yue coughed dryly and said: "Now that "Chaos" is finished, he can open a new book in the city, you go back and talk to me quietly, as long as the quality of his new book can be at the same level as "Chaos", our urban channel will definitely make him popular." ”

Xiaobai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him right away." ”

"That's right......" Ah Yue said again: ""Chaos" signed a newcomer's contract, if he agrees to open a new book on the City Channel, the new book will be replaced by a first-line contract for him. ”

Compared with the week-style newcomer contract, the terms of the first-line contract are much more generous!

But the favorable conditions also mean that it is not so simple to sign a first-line contract, not that you can sign a novel with an average order of more than 10,000, at least three books must be booked to break 10,000, or a single book to break 30,000 before you have the opportunity to sign a first-line contract.

There are millions of online writers on Wanzhong Chinese Network, and there are only more than 50 first-line contracts in total, which can be seen.

"In order to win me over, you want to be quiet, the boss is enough to get down?"

Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "I understand." ”

Ah Yue nodded and said, "Go ahead, usually remember to communicate more with the author you are responsible for." ”

Xiaobai nodded again: "Okay, then boss, I'm leaving." ”

Back at his desk, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little aggrieved.

Not to mention that he is a rookie, and after changing to any senior online editor, I may not be able to guess that I want to be quiet, this guy who does not play according to the rules of the cards will not continue to write according to the routine of urban anti-crossing after "Chaos" becomes popular, but run to write what traditional martial arts, right?

Didn't you see that after "Chaos" became popular, in just one week, there were at least dozens of novels that followed the trend and crossed the stream?

Why did I want to be quiet, but I went to write martial arts!

This is simple, apart from the strange two words, what else can Xiaobai say?

In fact, the vast majority of online writers who write a little fame, the subject matter and style of writing are relatively fixed, those who write martial arts write martial arts, and those who write history write history, even if occasionally someone tries to break through the bottleneck and change the writing theme after the old book hits the street, the possibility of success is very small, almost all of them end up on the street, and then return to the old business.

The more successful the author, the less likely they are to try new genres, which is an industry convention, and only a very small number of bull "beep" characters can break this shackle.

After all, one book is famous, and the second book is written in the same routine and style, which is the easiest and most likely way to succeed.

The sequel in the film industry is the best embodiment of this routine.

On the contrary, those rookies who have just entered the industry will keep cycling in the streets and changing themes until they find a theme and style that suits them, but most of them are like a little white dog in their previous life, after several times they recognize the reality that they are not writing material, and then angrily swing the knife and finally leave the scene.

But then again, I want to be quiet and really a rookie who has debuted for more than a month, but this rookie is more violent, and he wrote a book of urban anti-crossfire, but he didn't do his job to rewrite a book of traditional martial arts, which seems to be popular again, who is going to reason with this?

Xiaobai shook his head speechlessly, clicked on IQ, and began typing.

Xiaobai: "Are you there?"

Lin Yue was coding words, and when he heard the letter prompt sound of the mobile phone IQ, he opened it and saw that it was Xiaobai, so he returned: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Xiaobai: "Didn't you say before that "Chaos" was finished, and there are plans for a new book?"

I want to be quiet: "Didn't you open "Datang", this book is super long, and I plan to write five million words, and I won't be able to finish it in a while and a half." ”

Seeing this, Xiaobai's mouth was full of bitterness, but the task assigned by the boss could not be completed......

Xiaobai: "I don't plan to open a new book on the Urban Channel?"

Lin Yue didn't know about the competition between the channels in the editorial department, and typed in wonder: "Why do you have to finish writing "Datang" and then open a new book, why do you suddenly talk about this?"

Xiaobai: "Today, our boss came to me and told me that he was very optimistic about your "Chaos", and said that if you open a new book on the City Channel, we will fully support you." ”

Although Lin Yue is reckless, he is not a fool, Xiaobai has said it so clearly, if he still doesn't understand, won't he be reduced to the same IQ level as the stupid girl he despises?

And for him, opening a new urban book is at best a convenient effort, there is no burden at all, and it can sell well on the urban channel, why not?

I wanted to be quiet: "Okay, no problem!"

So easy to convince?

Xiaobai couldn't believe that he would have such good luck.

Xiaobai: "Use more thought, ensure the quality, if the new book is completed again, it will not be far from being a god." In addition, our boss also explained that your new book will be replaced by a first-line appointment for you. ”

A line of about?

Isn't this the otherworldly version of the Platinum Covenant?
