Chapter 8: The Shock of the Editor-in-Chief
The editor-in-chief of Ah Fo is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, and has nearly 20 years of industry experience since he began to contact online literature.
He was a reader when online literature first emerged, and then became a creator of online literature.
In the end, as the leader of online literature, that is, the editor, he took root in this industry.
He is quite famous in the industry, and last year, combined with his many years of industry experience and rich editing experience, he created a "New Writer's Creative Guide" and published it.
Known as the standard textbook in the industry, the editor-in-chief of Afo has always been proud.
In his office, he flipped through his published collector's edition of "The Creation Guide" and fell into an aftertaste.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Bean Miao walked in.
"Boss, you're looking for me......"
Dou Miao has roughly guessed what is going on.
"Smack!"
Ah Fo closed the book, and then looked at Doumiao who had been working hard with some appreciation:
"Miao Miao, I have clearly seen your hard work and seriousness over the past year, and I know that you want to prove yourself, but I want to hear your explanation of this matter......
Dou Miao knew that what the boss said was that someone questioned the ticket swiping incident of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is exactly what Dou Miao wants to fight for.
"I insist on believing that Ah Fei's results are not ...... any water"
Dou Miao said: "Boss, I remember when I first joined, you said to me that guiding the author and letting the author write his own characteristic books is the duty of an editor and the source of the development of this industry!"
"Ah Fei's work, even though it does not follow the current market rules, has strong characteristics and storytelling, and this time the recommendation of testing the waters, the popularity of Ah Fei's results, has proved what I said......"
"But Miao Miao, I glanced at this book before, it is basically contrary to the current business writing, and it does not have the potential of fire, I am talking to you today, and I also want to ask you to understand clearly, don't be deceived by this author named Ah Fei!
Editor-in-chief Ah Fo took a sip of a cup of tea and said, "So my suggestion is to stop any recommendation of this book for the time being!"
"I don't agree with the boss, I always believe that the reason why this book is popular is because of its own characteristics and strength, if there are any consequences in the future, I am willing to take full responsibility!"
This is the first time that Dou Miao has contradicted the editor-in-chief since she entered the editorial department of Black Wind Literature Network, and this is the person she admires the most.
However, from the time Doumiao chose to be an editor, she set a goal in her heart and insisted on the excavation of featured authors and books.
This is her principle!
Ah Fo didn't know what was wrong with Dou Miao, how could he care so much about such a book that had no commercial value at all.
And confronted him for this.
"Boss, you have a lot of experience in the industry, but don't you feel that now you are getting farther away from your original dream?"
Dou Miao is against it anyway, and I don't know how long I can be an editor.
I said everything I wanted to say at the moment.
"Am I drifting away?"
Ah Fo frowned, but wondered. He hadn't heard anyone accuse him like that in a long time.
"Yes, the "Newcomer Creation Guide" you created only teaches the author how to write in a templated way, and teaches the editor how to quickly locate the fixed commercial value of a work!!!
"Bang!"
The corners of Ah Fo's mouth twitched, and he put the teacup on the table, "Presumptuous Miao Miao!"
This "Creation Guide" is his life's dream! It is all his hard work! It is also his pride all along!
Therefore, he could not listen to any words that were out of place.
However, after Ah Fo's tone was cold, he regretted it a little.
Miao Miao just put forward her own opinion, what's wrong with her......
At the moment, he just said: "Okay, you go to work, this matter, let's talk about it later!"
Dou Miao bit her lip, nodded, walked to the door, and stopped again:
"Boss, I still remember when you first came to Black Wind Novel Network as the editor-in-charge ten years ago, you said a sentence on the video of the annual summary meeting at that time, and I always remember it......"
"An editor is an ordinary reader and a serious reader......
After saying that, Doumiao closed the door and walked out.
"Bang!"
The door closed.
But Ah Fo's heart twitched violently with the sound of the door closing.
"An editor is a reader who is more serious than the average reader!"
Ah Fo muttered this.
can't help but emerge from the scenes when I entered the industry.
At that time, he read every book carefully, and even found out the typos written by the author.
Communicate with the authors, exchange their creative ideas, etc.
At that time, he was full and happy every day.
But now...... The concept of commercialization of style routines was put forward by him.
He also taught how to edit how to finish an opening in three minutes......
"Yes, the editor is a serious reader, how many years have I not read a novel seriously......"
Ah Fo looked out the window, and at this moment, all the pride in his heart for the "Newcomer's Creative Guide" seemed to have vanished......
In front of his computer is the homepage of the Black Wind Novel Network.
Below, the name of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which is ranked fourth on the new book list, flashes.
It was a manuscript that he read in less than half a minute.
But now, Avo has decided to re-read it, as a serious reader, and read it again.
"My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua, the ancestor of the Hu family ......"
While reading, Editor-in-Chief Afo's expression became more and more solidified.
After reading the second chapter, the editor-in-chief of Ah Fo was even more surprised.
It wasn't until he read that he had found the Kwantung Army base that Editor-in-Chief Ah Fo was shocked.
Because he found that there is a kind of magic in this story, it is not a single thrill, let alone a single horror scene.
What is displayed in front of him is as if it is a person, vivid characters, and a tense and exciting plot.
From the time he finished reading the first chapter, he unknowingly fell into the pit dug by the author.
"It's just a feeling! It's been a long time since I've had the thrill of chasing a book!"
Ah Fo was excited.
There is an urge to be reluctant to read it!
"This author is amazing, I have never seen anyone write a supernatural novel with such a sense of substitution!"
Ah Fo took a deep breath.
At this time, assistant Xiao Li walked in.
"Editor-in-chief, just now Changbai Publishing House called to inquire about the re-issuance of the new revised edition of "Newcomer's Creation Guide", how can I reply?"
"A Newcomer's Guide?"
Ah Fo shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", shook his head and said to the assistant: "Tell the publishing house that this creation guide will be stopped from today!"
"Why?"
Xiao Li's face was surprised!
Ah Buddha said: "Because in the future, I want to be a reader, a reader who is a hundred times more serious than ordinary readers!"
……
After Lin Fei returned home, he hurriedly wrote a content update.
Because as soon as I opened the author's background, nearly 200 readers' comments had already begun to scold my mother.
And looking at the ranking, it has reached the fourth place on the list of new books.
There are still 200 votes left, and they can rush to third.
is still close to 20,000 votes from the first place on the new book list.
Winning the first place on the new book list is Lin Fei's goal.
Therefore, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
The only thing he can do is update a lot.
And after the update, Lin Fei wrote a sentence at the end of the chapter for the first time:
"Ask for diamond tickets! Thank you for your support!"
At the same time, Lin Fei, who was idle, began to interact with readers in the book review area and answer some questions.
At this time, Lin Fei received a private message.
It was sent by his own golden book saint, a reader named 'Xiaohan'.
"Brother Fei, can I add you penguins?"
Three messages were sent in a row.
When the book was first opened, Lin Fei deliberately applied for a brand-new Penguin number, and the next step was to wait for more readers, which was specially used to communicate with readers.
There is nothing to refuse.
Lin Fei sent his penguin over.
Soon, an application from a new friend came in.
But when Lin Fei saw this new friend's avatar and screen name, why did he feel so familiar.
As for where I've seen it, I really can't remember.
"Brother Fei, thank you for bringing me such a unique book...... (followed by a sweet expression)"
"Thank you for your support, I will work harder!"
Lin Fei smiled.
"How long are you going to write this book, Brother Fei......?"
Xiao Han said again.
"The specifics are not clear, it will not be too short!"
"Uh-huh, little brother Ah Fei, your girlfriend must be very happy with you!(Cute, cute, cute)"
Lin Fei's face was black, who wants money like him, who wants to be handsome or not.
"Well, why do you ask ......?"
"Because your girlfriend can see your updates in advance every day!"
"Haha...... But I don't have a girlfriend...... (pouts)"
Lin Fei then chatted with Xiao Han for a while and then went offline.
He found that this little girl named Xiaohan was quite good at chatting, and she made an extremely good impression on Lin Fei.
But then Lin Fei had to think about the 'Youth Singer Competition' the day after tomorrow.
Since he has decided to take the star path in this life, this opportunity cannot be missed.
Moreover, Lin Fei in the previous life also sang in the bar for a period of time.
Singing is also his hobby.
When the time comes, which one should be sung?
……
Just when Lin Fei fell into thinking and fell asleep.
On the other side, Su Muhan couldn't fall asleep over and over.
I don't know why, after chatting with Ah Fei for a few words, she was very happy and excited.
"Shiyin, are you sleeping......?"
Su Muhan saw that Qin Shiyin was still online, so he sent a message.
"Not yet, can't sleep......"
Qin Shiyin quickly replied to the message, and said, "Why haven't you slept?"
Su Muhan said: "I chatted with a new idol of mine today, and I was a little excited, hahaha...... What about you? Why didn't you sleep?"
Qin Shiyin first made a pouting expression, and then replied: "Mu Han, you have always liked to watch those terrifying stories, aren't you afraid at night?"
"Don't be afraid, what, you've watched horror stories too?"
"I didn't watch, I listened, it scared me to death, I can't sleep until now, the more I think about it, the more scared I become......"
"Hahaha laughs to death, in this way, you tell me the ghost stories you heard, as long as you share it, the fear in your heart will go down a lot!"
"Really? Mmmm, I'll tell you about ......."
