Chapter 239: The Topic of the Second Sequence
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although there are endless topics about PK on the Internet, and the enthusiasm for participation is generally high, on the whole, the atmosphere of the debate remains relatively peaceful, except for a small number of reprimands of hype and brainless posts, everyone's focus is basically on the novel and the author.
Regular plot discussions and speculations, or exploring the changes in Gu Yongsheng's style from the specific lines of a few chapters.
When other authors saw this harmonious and loving scene, they inevitably had a burst of envy, envy both Gu Yongsheng's vast popularity and his excellent readership.
This kind of su zhì is not only the harmony of the way of discussion, but also their literary literacy, which is the kind of head that Daozhen has a long face for his idol.
When a best-selling author sighs so much on a microblog, someone leaves a message to tell him the truth, the author and the reader have always written and read each other, when you feel the readers of other people's homes, have you ever thought that your readers are also lamenting the authors of others?
As a result, the relationship between the author and the reader has derived another topic, which has attracted the attention and participation of many netizens.
Online discussions have always been like this, there is no long-term debate that does not turn the floor a few times, change the muzzle a few times, if one day the argument between people can be reduced to you ask me to answer or I ask you to answer, some unnecessary disputes will automatically decrease, of course, those companies that provide a platform for debate will not welcome this kind of thing.
In view of the fact that the reader's rationality and sensibility are so well combined, Liang Si, the executive editor of "Craftsman's Record", took the opportunity to make a book review contest and simply set up several awards. It's a motivation to motivate everyone, and it's also a response to several other magazines that are preparing various events in a hurry.
At this time, in addition to "Dajianghu", which has already announced an essay. "The Grass on the Plain" and "Ding Novel" are not idle, and the ideas announced by Han Shuo are two interactive projects:
One." You ask us to answer." Roughly speaking, the reader can ask anyone a question, and then the magazine staff will ask the question to find the most precise answer;
II. Your dreams, we make them happen". Readers can submit a copy of their dream book to the magazine, such as a trip to the Sahara Desert, such as an expedition to Somalia. As long as the ideas put forward by readers are operational, the magazine will provide people and money to help readers realize their dreams.
After these two projects came out, they caused a lot of discussion in the industry and among readers. Especially the first item, as soon as Han Shuo announced the project, the micro-blog was frantically swiped by readers, and all kinds of questions came to him. What "How long is Han Shuo's first time", "Does Zhao Xin have a boyfriend", "Xu Xiaolin, when will you marry me", "Zhang Dahai. Did you put that toad in my bag?", "I'm nineteen years old, but I haven't had my first period yet, do I have any questions?" and so on.
After the announcement of the new project of "Grass on the Plain", Xue Muliang quickly announced the latest blockbuster initiative of Dingshi Culture in his personal microblog: the beginning of the literary newcomer selection competition.
Dingshi's selection contest is similar to the essay contest of "Dajianghu", but the specific process and the final result of the competition are different, for example, the winner of the Qianhong essay contest can choose to sign a contract with Qianhong after handing over his competition work, or he can take this resume and look for other opportunities. However, the authors who participated in the Dingshi Cultural Selection Contest once they got the ranking. Must sign a contract with Dingshi.
This is also the difference between an essay contest and a selection contest.

"This issue is close to two million copies, and the impact of the completion of "Book and Sword" has basically been wiped out, which means that our magazine has almost stabilized, and the sales of about 100,000 copies are fluctuating, which belongs to the normal proportion. β
Liangsi clearly explained the current situation of the magazine in the work group, although he could not see the expression, but he could see his self-confidence and faint self-satisfaction between the lines, "100,000 copies floating is in the normal range", this kind of number jΓΉ counting method can not find a second in the country, because the base of magazine sales is in millions, so 100,000 copies floating is in the normal range, and for other magazines, the number of 100,000 copies is even the total monthly sales of the magazine they dreamed of.
"It's a joint effort. Liu Jingting replied.
"However, our current problem is also obvious, which is the lack of a fixed group of authors, no way, which is a common problem with all new journals. β
"The author's things are not in a hurry, and they can only be cultivated slowly, speaking of which, I think of a post I saw today, saying that this PK competition may hinder the newcomer exhibition, and it feels like there is some truth, our side has just made room for a period of time in the sky, and I decided to be a little anxious this time. β
"'No umbrella when it rains'? "There is always a way to reply.
"The magazine is in a stable period, how can it hold up relying on newcomers?" Liang Si said.
"Yes. Also, Lin Tiange mentioned to me yesterday his idea of opening a new book, which I think is quite good. β
"Is "Clear Rain Pharmacist" coming to an end?"
"No, it will be serialized until November, and then it will be published as a book, Lin Tiange said that it will be about 150,000 or 60,000 words. β
"I think it's about the same, it may be his first time writing a long story, there are more places to tie his hands and feet, and moreover, the influence of short stories is still relatively large, and the capacity of the pattern cannot be expanded, and the 150,000-word ending is a more ideal plan. Liu Jingting analyzed.
"What is the background of the new book?" Liu Jingting added.
"It's still the background of the Song Dynasty, writing the story of a young man with a knife breaking into the rivers and lakes, the editor-in-chief The problem of pattern capacity you just mentioned, Lin Tiange himself was also aware of it, because it was a short story from the beginning, so he didn't let go, and he said that the new book would avoid this problem. "There is always a way.
"A knife-wielding boy in the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, the introduction he gave was 'The story will tell the story of a young swordsman who has experienced the magnificent court and the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes'. β
"Yes, just looking at this synopsis is very promising, what else do you say, such as the title of the book?"
"I didn't say it, I just mentioned it briefly. β
"Well, you figure out his idea, and then we'll discuss a perfect setting and structure together, and Liang Editor-in-Chief, this will be our next priority. β
"Good. β
"Let's go back and look for more information books on the Song Dynasty, and the ideas and ideas that can be provided are actively said in the group, Xu Sen, you co-ordinate, sort it out and hand it over to Chang Youdao, and Chang Chang is responsible for communicating with him specifically. β
Liu Jingting arranged the work in an orderly manner, and the named editor should immediately be "good" or "received".
Even Liang Si, who has rich experience and magazine knowledge far more than Liu Jingting, has to express his admiration for Liu Jingting's control, he is mild-tempered, humble and friendly, but once he makes a decision, it is basically irrefutable, not that he does not allow it, but there is no room for refutation.
At least so far, Liu Jingting is qualified as the head of "Craftsman Record", he has enough confidence, and he has full confidence.
Thinking of this, Liangsi felt a trace of uneasiness, which spread in his heart like a virus, stirring his heart to be uneasy, on the one hand, he had gradually become obsessed with the taste of being the executive editor of a best-selling magazine, and the feeling that he could make a name for himself in the publishing world was in "The Wanderer" On the other hand, he had to carry out what was probably the most incredible task in the history of the publishing world, which was formulated and assigned by the publishing woman Zhuge herself, and the complexity and difficulty of it increased as they became familiar with Liu Jingting.
Liangsi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to make a call.
β¦β¦
When Liangsi was on the phone, Chang Youdao was also on the phone, he was calling Lin Tiange, a high-achieving student and potential martial arts author.
"The meaning of the editorial department is probably like this, the editor-in-chief Gu Yongsheng personally gave the task to mark your next book as a priority topic, which means that your new book will become the second series of topics for our magazine. β
When you talk to a new author, you can't help but put on an editorial shelf.
"Second sequence?"
"How?"
"It's okay, I mean, will Gu Da release a new work immediately after this one-person PK?"
"I have no way of knowing this, you don't have to worry so much, just write a book with peace of mind, since the magazine has decided to train you, the resources will be tilted accordingly, you don't have to worry so much. β
"Mmmm, I listen to Chang Da, that, I don't dare to fight with Gu Da anyway now, will I be defeated?"
"Now?"
"Huh?"
"It's okay, let's do this first, you have time to draw up the outline of the new book, and we will do it for you. β
"Okay, thank you Changda, by the way, thank you Guda. β
After Chang Youdao hung up the phone, he made another call to Liu Jingting, talking about the ambition in Lin Tiange's words, and said with a smile: "He is ready to fight you in time." β
"Napoleon said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier, so you don't have the idea of defeating anyone?" Liu Jingting said disapprovingly, in fact, he had never thought of writing a work side by side with Jin Guliang before?
"It's good to have momentum, but you also have to be self-aware, I'm worried that such an author is not easy to control?"
"Control zhΓ¬? Old man, it's the first time I've seen that you actually have this kind of fascist thought, you should know what is the most taboo in literature and art, right? β
"I understand these truths, but if you think about it, we are now making magazines, and if we train an author, we will run one, and the loss will be too great. β
"Then find a way to keep them, otherwise why do you want to follow him?"
"Understood. β
"Also, I thought about it for a while, Lin Tiange's new name is "Song Dao", which is simple and easy to remember. β
"Well, and it's suitable for newcomers, by the way, I just talked to him about books, and he asked me when the next book will be after your "Snow Mountain" and "Blue Blood Sword" are over, and he is worried about hitting your schedule. β
"Tell him not to worry, after these two books, I will write 6 Xiaofeng single-mindedly. β
"Good. β

The office of the vice president of the Yellow River Literature and Art.
Mo Zhiyu hung up the phone thoughtfully, took a pen in his hand and wrote the three words "Lin Tiange" on the paper, and then pointed the name with the tip of the pen, falling into deep thought. (To be continued!)
