Chapter 81: Autobiographical Fiction

In order to increase the subscription, the brothers are also desperate. Chen Mengran even skipped class, relying on the speed of the snail crawling codeword, he took out more than ten hours a day to update 20,000 words.

The ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

Three months later, the novel had written two million words, but the subscription had only increased by more than 100 points, and Chen Mengran knew that no matter how he wrote, there would be no miracle.

"It seems that no matter how you write the grades, it won't be too good. Chen Mengran said discouragedly.

"I think so. Zhou Bo echoed.

This time he really died. He has made a lot of efforts, but he still can't improve his grades, which shows that he is really not suitable for the profession of writer.

Chen Mengran also gave up, for three months, he got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, holding the ideal of taking seven figures, but he was finally beaten back to reality.

Seven figures, fucking seven figures, the reality is that I have worked tirelessly for three months, and I only earned seven thousand yuan.

Seven thousand yuan is not very low, but with such a lot of effort, it takes such a little return, in Chen Mengran's opinion, it is not as cost-effective as moving bricks.

"I have summarized it in the past three months, in fact, there are no major problems elsewhere in the book, only one fatal flaw, that is, the selection of materials. This kind of waste material stream was still watched two years ago, but now it is all written badly, so not many people are willing to spend money to watch it. ”

Chen Mengran nodded in agreement.

To say that Zhou Bo's writing is really good, although it is not gorgeous, but the sentences are very smooth and easy to read. Although the storyline is bloody, it is better than the tight rhythm, and if you don't read it with your brain, it will be ups and downs. Not to mention the number of updates, it maintains more than 15,000 updates every day, but in this case, the results of this book are still so poor, only the subject matter has problems.

"It seems that those who watch piracy are right, and writing this kind of trend-following theme is really brain-dead. Chen Mengran said.

"These days, I have another creative subject in mind. Zhou Bo said suddenly.

"Don't, don't tell me to write a novel again. Chen Mengran interrupted Zhou Bo's words.

From seven figures to seven thousand, the difference between this is not ordinarily large. After this battle, Chen Mengran no longer had any confidence in Zhou Bo.

"This time it's not a fantasy, it's an urban ability. Ignoring Chen Mengran's words, Zhou Bo continued.

"So what, hitting the street is hitting the street, what type is hitting the street, if it is not suitable, it is not suitable, now it will also let you see through this line, die early and be relieved, leave quickly. ”

"It's certain to leave, but before you leave, you don't want to hear about what kind of ability it is?"

"I don't want to. ”

"Speaking of this ability, the inspiration is still from you. Zhou Bo didn't care whether Chen Mengran wanted to listen to it or not, and said to himself.

These words aroused Chen Mengran's interest.

Surprised asked, "I, how did I give you inspiration?"

"Don't you think your ability to collect dead souls is an ability?" Zhou Bo asked rhetorically.

Chen Mengran's eyes lit up.

"You're saying that my abilities can be written into a book?"

"That's right, collect souls, let them help you earn money from what they learned in life, and then help the souls be liberated. In this cycle, in the end, the protagonist has become a billionaire from a down-and-out poor sling, and sitting on Bai Fumei is a good idea. The content is written according to your experience, and it is absolutely unconventional. As for the name, I've got it all figured out, so it's called Soul Collector, how about it?"

"Well, this idea is much stronger than the scrap turned genius before. Chen Mengran clapped his hands and said, and then he didn't know what to think of, and his brows furrowed.

"It's just that this ability is real, and if I write it, it won't reveal my secret. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, people just read this as a novel, and they won't take it seriously. Even if you raise your hands in front of others and swear that you have magical powers, no one will believe them. ”

Chen Mengran also realized that he was overly worried, and nodded: "Then, senior, please continue to write." ”

"Well, I think, I probably won't be able to help you. "Unexpectedly, Zhou Bodao.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mengran had a bad premonition.

Just then, he heard the familiar voice from another plane.

"Chen Mengran, thank you for fulfilling my last wish, the failure of this book made me realize that I am really not suitable for this profession of writing. ”

"Hey, senior, it's too early to draw conclusions, give yourself another chance, maybe the next book can really become a god in one book?" Chen Mengran said anxiously, trying to retain the person who might become the God of Wealth.

"No need, I'd rather move bricks than write online articles in my next life, this line of work is too cheating. ”

In the end, Zhou Bo's voice gradually became quieter, and finally disappeared.

Zhou Bo is gone, and this soul who has been with Chen Mengran for more than four months is gone.

Compared with Li Mengxi and Nie Yun, Zhou Bo has been with Chen Mengran the longest, but Chen Mengran's feelings for him are not as deep as the previous two. With Zhou Bo, they are all non-stop codewords, and they rarely have time to communicate, so their understanding of Zhou Bo is far less than that of Li Mengxi and Nie Yun, and their feelings are naturally not as deep as theirs.

That night, Chen Mengran went to bed early. For three months, Chen Mengran slept until one or two o'clock in the morning every day. Now that the work has been completed and Zhou Bo is gone, Chen Mengran has no reason to sleep after midnight as before.

"Second child, why don't you write novels?" Zhang Mingfan asked. The other three also put down the game they were playing and looked at him in amazement.

Chen Mengran got up so early that his brothers, who had long been accustomed to watching him stay up late, were a little uncomfortable.

"It's done. Chen Mengran said weakly.

"Oh, yes, so fast, how much has been written?" Zhang Mingfan said as he quit the game he was playing, and Baidu released the book "Wu Ri Tianxia".

"Damn, it's only been more than four months, and I actually wrote two million words, which is ruthless enough. ”

Chen Mengran was about to say something, but found that Zhang Mingfan opened a pirated website.

Secretly sighed.

His good brothers don't support the genuine version.,This line seems really hopeless.。

"Did you make any money?"

"Earned. ”

"How much?"

"Seven thousand. ”

"Damn, ruthless enough, I didn't expect to really make money, I must have a treat tomorrow." ”

Treat, damn, those who are brothers don't support the genuine version, they actually licked their faces to have a treat, Chen Mengran despised this brother in his heart.

The next day, after inviting his brothers to a big meal, Chen Mengran sat down at the computer desk again.

"Isn't it already written?" asked the third Zheng Wei with a wine burp.

"Now I've opened another one. ”

"What book?" the fourth Wang Yu also came up.

"Urban abilities. ”

That's right, this time, the book that Chen Mengran opened was the urban ability that Zhou Bo mentioned to him before leaving, that is, the book about his own ability.

Chen Mengran thought about it for a day and felt that the idea of this book was good, and if it was written as a novel, it might really be popular. Moreover, Zhou Bo has thought of the name for him, and it is called "Soul Collector", and the pen name is still the original Muye Village. As for the content, to put it in a better way, it is all ready-made, starting from picking up a meteorite at my aunt's house after I failed in the college entrance examination, and adding the stories of Li Mengxi, Nie Yun and even Zhou Bo.

These are all happening around me, and I don't have to worry about being uninspired. Even the names of the protagonists and supporting roles, Chen Mengran does not plan to change. One is because they are too lazy to think of other names, and second, as Zhou Bo said, no one will match the names of the people in them with reality. A novel is a novel, and even if he says it's a real thing that happened to him, others will only treat him as a psychopath.

After sending his brother to sleep, Chen Mengran started the code words of the second book again.

Two hours later, Chen Mengran sighed.

Looking at the time, it was early morning again.

It's been two hours since I started coding words. Looking at the words he coded again, Chen Mengran showed a wry smile, a thousand words, this is the result of his two hours.

Two hours and a thousand words, or in the case of materials, this kind of hand speed, called the handicapped are insulting.

As the saying goes, if you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

In the past, Zhou Bo was here, and he would write a sentence when he said a sentence to Chen Mengran. I just feel that the novel is written in an easy-to-understand manner, and there is no difficulty at all.

Now I use my own brain, only to find out that this thing still pays attention to writing.

Compared with Zhou Bo, his writing is definitely a heaven and an underground. I vomited blood when I read it, which shows that the writing is not ordinarily poor. In order to make the sentences smooth, almost every sentence Chen Mengran writes must be carefully scrutinized, so that each sentence must be read smoothly and easy to understand, and the words are accurate and profound.

It was under this kind of meticulous work that Chen Mengran's hand speed dropped by half from more than 1,000 at the beginning to 500 now.

After this blow, Chen Mengran realized that he was really not suitable for writing.

But just let such a good subject not be written, Chen Mengran felt a pity. So, after thinking about it repeatedly, Chen Mengran decided to write this story, even if the story has no ending, he must finish it, even if he gives himself and Zhou Bo an explanation.

After more than 20 days, five hours a day, and 3,000 words of meticulous writing, the story was finally written.

has a total of 60,000 words, from Li Mengxi to Zhou Bo, I have experienced three big stories, but there are only 60,000 words. Chen Mengran knew that there were still many places where the number of words could be watered, and if it was Zhou Bo, it should be at least 200,000. It's a pity that he, a rookie, really doesn't know how to water.

The story has no ending, and by the end of Zhou Bo, Chen Mengran was unexpected. Let him make things up, he doesn't have that brain.

I wanted to upload the story to the Internet, but I was afraid that the reader would curse the eunuch to death if there was no ending, so I struggled for a long time, and finally, Chen Mengran thought of an idea.

In the past, in a casual chat with Zhou Bo, Chen Mengran had a certain understanding of the online literature industry. Hearing Zhou Bo say that there is a special literary studio to receive manuscripts, and if you sell what you write to them, you can not only make money but also not let such a good idea go to waste, Chen Mengran feels that this idea is simply the best of both worlds.

So, Chen Mengran began to plan to sell his manuscript again.

Zhou Bo once said that when looking for a studio, you should find those studios that have been established for a long time and are honest. You give him the manuscript, and you give the money when you pass it.

Those studios with small qualifications are not reliable, and they don't give a single point after swallowing the manuscript.

In order to find a reliable studio, Chen Mengran lurked in the major forums and post bars, and after some careful searching, he finally found a more reliable studio.

Let's not say the name of the studio, someone from the province is seated.

It has been established for several years, and the integrity should be very reliable.

added the editor's QQ and told him that he wanted to sell the manuscript, and the other party was very enthusiastic and asked Chen Mengran to send 30,000 words to his mailbox first.

Chen Mengran sent the manuscript over and got a reply quickly.

They accepted the manuscript, twenty words in a thousand words, and asked him if he would sell it?

Twenty thousand words, 10,000 words is 200, and 60,000 words is 1,000 two.

Chen Mengran didn't expect a qiē to be so smooth, whether to sell it or not, of course to sell it. The four-digit manuscript fee has far exceeded Chen Mengran's original idea, he originally thought it would be a few hundred manuscript fees.

At this moment, Chen Mengran had the urge to open a pit and test the depth. However, when he thought of the difficulty of coding these 60,000 words, Chen Mengran wisely dispelled this idea.

"Sell, but I have two conditions?"

"On what terms?"

"Whoever you ask to write this book again, don't change the name. And the most important point is that you can't be a eunuch. ”

"Don't worry, you won't be a eunuch. ”

And just like that, the sale and purchase hit it off.

Chen Mengran also sent the remaining 30,000 manuscripts over, and soon received the manuscript fee from the other party. Chen Mengran happily invited the dormitory brothers to eat a meal of skewers. As for the next plot development of this "Soul Collector", Chen Mengran said that he will still pay attention, and if he collects any strange souls in the future, he will also write the follow-up development into a story and send it to the editor.

This is not for the manuscript fee, but to make the story more exciting, and also to fulfill an autobiographical dream of oneself.
