Conduct an essay contest on the bustling literature of a bustling game?

This is not something that has never been done before, I have the impression that someone has done this before, and there will definitely be similar activities in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the audience of online novels and the audience of online games have a relatively large intersection, and it is not a strange thing to jump from this circle to that circle.

However, for the three people on the table, including Long Jiao, none of them had relevant operating experience to use as a reference.

Long Jiao didn't have long to jump to Prosperous Network, and his position in Prosperous Network is the director of R&D, not the head of the operation department.

Duan Shanshan was a writer, yes. However, whether it is publishing a novel by yourself, cooperating with others to publish an anthology, or publishing an article in a magazine, either you start writing after someone else has come to ask for a manuscript, or you write it out of interest alone and post it on some small circle of forums and it is favored by an editor friend, and there is very little experience of spontaneous submission, let alone participating in any essay competition.

As for Liu Kewei, the "Sui and Tang Dynasty" that he participated in before didn't even have a copywriter......

Therefore, after Long Jiao put forward this idea, the three people present were a little at a loss, including himself.

"Is the actual effect of the game essay novel good?" asked Liu Kewei suspiciously.

Long Jiao himself was also a little unsure, Duan Shanshan frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, Liu Kewei looked at this and then that, and no one answered his question for a long time.

"It's best to find a knowledgeable guy to ask ......," Duan Shanshan muttered.

"Who knows, do you know any friends?" asked Liu Kewei.

Long Jiao also looked over curiously.

Duan Shanshan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Kewei, grinned and nodded, "There really is, and maybe it's not far from the neighborhood now......

He was referring to an old friend of the official website of "Life", and a well-known biography author on the Poet's Square (the name of the forum on the official website of "Life"), whose registration ID is called Silence.

The novel written by this person is called "Bauhinia Moon", and the style is passionate and unrestrained, with a deep imprint of fantasy novels and comics (especially Hong Kong comics) and games, which is more alternative and unique in the world of Ralph Continent, which is dominated by serious fantasy.

The point is that this person is now working at Flourishing Literature, as an editor-in-chief......

Duan Shanshan found this number that he had almost never contacted from the address book of his mobile phone (almost all communication was done in forums, online chat rooms and instant messaging software, and the mobile phone number was recorded only as a backup), dialed it, and after chatting a few words, he asked where he was, and learned that the other party was preparing to go home from work.

Although the office location of prosperous literature and prosperous games is not in the same place, the distance is quite close, and Duan Shanshan is not polite, and directly said that he has something to ask him for advice, and gave him the address to come over, and then talk about specific problems when he arrives.

Although they are also old friends, it is really the first time they have met, and Duan Shanshan has participated in several life gatherings in the imperial capital and the demon capital before, and he was not present.

So when Silence found them according to the table number, Duan Shanshan was a little surprised--didn't he say that "Wen is like his person"? Silence, who was famous for his fierce and bloody style in Poets' Square, turned out to be a guy who wore glasses and had a bookish smell and a simple smile?

"Shanny, what's the matter with me?"

As soon as he opened his mouth in shock, Liu Kewei and Long Jiao were both a little confused, who is Shanni? Outside of the sting of Crazy Town, the water tank of the Warring States Alliance, etc., how many doppelgangers does Duan Shanshan have?

"Well, my registered ID on the other side of life is Shanny Forks, which is also the name of the main character in the life biography I wrote, "The Mercenaries of Elpaxia". Duan Shanshan explained a little embarrassed.

The reason why it's a little embarrassing is naturally because the more famous one with this name is naturally the shortest one in a Korean girl group, so many people will think that this should be a girl's name...... However, it is actually a gender-neutral name, and most of the people who use this name are men.

"Uncle Duan, it turns out that your first recommendation is not Taeyeon or Xiuying, but Sunny! I didn't expect you to hide so ......deeply," Liu Kewei deliberately misinterpreted with a wicked smile.

"Nonsense, I used this name on the life website when I was a millennium, okay!" Duan Shanshan immediately jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "Girls' Generation will not debut until seven years later, who knows who Sunny is at that time!"

Liu Kewei didn't care so much, he laughed to himself like a weasel who stole a chicken, "The next time I see Sunny, I have to remember to tell her that your uncle has the same name as her!"

The stunned man who caused this little storm sat down innocently dazed, pushed his glasses and asked, "What's wrong with Shanny?"

Duan Shanshan glanced at the unscrupulous buddy helplessly, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile at the stunned silence and said, "Don't pay attention to him, that guy will short-circuit once or twice once in a while, and you will get used to it when you are familiar with it." ”

First of all, it is natural to introduce the three of them to each other, although Long Jiao and Silence are both on the bustling network, but because they are not in the same department, it is also the first time they have met.

After the greetings, the silence asked again why he came to him, Duan Shanshan and the others introduced the cause and effect, and when it came to business, Liu Kewei also put away the joke.

"The publicity effect of the game essay contest is ......" Silence picked up a piece of saliva chicken with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a long time, then swallowed his throat and said, "It's not easy to generalize." ”

"Let's be specific. Long Jiao spoke with interest.

When it came to their own projects, Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan also put down their chopsticks and looked at the silence intently.

"Let me give you an example, the same is billboard promotion, can the Premier League be the same as the League One? Can satellite broadcasts be the same as those that are not broadcast? Can the city derby, championship or relegation battle be the same as other games? It is all a football game, why is there such a big difference?" After thinking about it for a long time, I found a more easy-to-understand entry point.

Coincidentally, the other three people here are all football fans, and in one fell swoop, the three of them really understood what he meant.

"The popularity of the author is important. ”

"The promotion of the participating novels is also very important. ”

"Don't forget the readability of the work itself, a novel without a selling point, no matter how loud the author is promoted, there may not be a few people who are willing to read it......"

Long Jiao, Liu Kewei, and Duan Shanshan discussed one by one.

Silence nodded in affirmation, "That's right, that's pretty much what I meant." ”

"This game is a cross-border cooperation between Naxon and our prosperous network, and Prosperous Games attaches great importance to this project, and if I take the lead in contacting, your prosperous literature side should use relatively high specifications to cooperate, right?" Long Jiao said confidently.

"Hmm. Silence nodded again, "Not to mention the homepage announcement, pop-up ads, and special page introductions, if the quality of the participating novels is high enough, we can also contact the publishing house to assemble and publish them." ”

"You can also contact several game media serials, such as Mr. Luo's "Popular Software" and "Popular Games", and by the way, make a column to introduce something......" Duan Shanshan said.

"It's also a line of thought, and by the way, I used to be an editor at Video Games and Computer Games for a while, and I knew a few acquaintances there. Silence said with great interest.

"Have you ever worked in "Electricity" before?" Long Jiao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "This world is really small!"

"What?" asked Silence, puzzled.

"I used to be a moderator for NewType...... "Long Jiaole said.

newtype is the official website forum of "Video Games and Computer Games" and "Dream Story", and the stunned silence of being the editor of "Denden" naturally knows, and the two took the opportunity to chat about "Denden" and some insider anecdotes of the newtype forum.

However, Liu Kewei, who was anxious, didn't have time to sit and watch the two of them go downstairs all the time, and without listening to two sentences, he interjected in an attempt to bring the topic back: "By the way, does this kind of essay contest generally have rules such as space limits? I see that many online novels are above the million level, and the best publicity period for the game is not long, so we can't wait too long for the author to finish the manuscript!"

"Most of these essay contests are usually divided into medium-length novellas, which are usually 50,000 to 80,000 words, and long-form are 200,000 to 400,000 words, and the long-form is about the length of a physical novel—the novella can be four or eight pieces together and published. "Besides, the deadline for this kind of essay is generally no more than three months, which is different from ordinary online serialized novels, and under the premise of limited time, it is generally impossible to write too long." ”

"I see. Liu Kewei shook his head, and then quickly threw out a new question, "So how can we contact those great god authors with appeal to participate in our essay competition? Can you be led by your prosperous literature? Also, what is the general market for bonuses or remuneration?"

This time, after hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head: "To tell the truth, the so-called god-level authors on the side of prosperous literature are generally known for their super long works of more than one million words, and if you really want to find them, even if they are willing to come, under the limitation of the length of this ordinary novella, they may not be able to play well." Moreover, judging from their income, the prize money or remuneration of this kind of competition may not be taken into account......"

"What should I do then?" Liu Kewei was a little dumbfounded.

"There is a Buddha in front of you who doesn't go to worship, but goes to the West Heaven to worship Rulai?" sneered, stretched out his finger and pointed to Duan Shanshan, who bowed his head and pretended to be stupid, "Why don't you look for Shanni?" This guy is quite familiar with the big demon kings in Feitian Studio, and they used to run fantasy magazines together in the imperial capital. In addition, there are Ma Boyong, the essence of magic and others he also knows, that is the best at this kind of medium-length authors, domestic first-class writers, these physical books may be more than one person tall when they are piled together, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of readability. You ask him to come forward for a few manuscripts, and everything is settled!"

Duan Shanshan touched his nose a little embarrassed, this matter rested on him, it was really not a big problem.

P.S. A few months ago, when I asked Galfort in a group if he wanted to make a cameo, I shouted that I didn't want to look for him who I had known for a longer time, but I looked for Gal, but I didn't expect to let him appear first when I wrote this......

At this point in time in the article, in fact, Silence has been transferred from a prosperous literature to a prosperous game as a planner. But since he's going to appear, he's going to have to sacrifice it. After all, it is impossible for the planning of another R&D team that has nothing to do with the main plot of this article, which is why I looked for Gal but didn't look for him in the first place. But as the editor-in-chief, it's a different matter, so let's treat it as a parallel world!

Now that it's on the stage.,Just give him an advertisement by the way.,This guy recently opened a new pit.,Because it's on another site.,I'm not going to let go of the link.,Just give a friend who is interested in the title of the book to search for it yourself.。 The title of the book is called "Dead Friends from Shura Dao", classified, it's light fantasy - rhapsodic reality, the style of writing is as unrestrained as ever + hot blood + brain-opening, and the current progress is 58 chapters and more than 150,000 words.

By the way, Long Jiao and Silence have already left the bustling city.
