Chapter 14: The Reasoning of Disappearance and the Da Vinci Code
When Ye Chen came to the grade office, Dong Yuqi had already finished registering, and when he saw that Ye Chen had also come to sign up, Dong Yuqi just glanced at Ye Chen and turned his head.
Ye Chen smiled, knowing that the girl was thin-skinned, he didn't care, and asked Wang Kong "Okay".
Wang Kong nodded with a smile, Wang Kong was not surprised that Ye Chen would sign up to participate, Wang Kong is the leader of the third-grade Chinese teaching and research group of Qingshui High School, and the third class of high school is also the class with the best Chinese scores in the grade, and Ye Chen is the student with the best Chinese scores in the class, so he still knows Ye Chen's level relatively well.
Ye Chen registered, and then Liu Ming also came to sign up, and after a while, Wang Kong saw that no one came to sign up, so he said to the three people standing on the side: "The three of you have good grades in the liberal arts in the class, speaking of which, I have to criticize Ye Chen, if you can score 50 points in mathematics, you will definitely not score 60 points." β
Speaking of this, Wang Kong glanced at Ye Chen, and when he saw Ye Chen's indifferent look, he also shook his head and continued:
"But this is an opportunity for you, especially Ye Chen, work hard to participate in this competition and get a good ranking, which can make up for your loss of points in mathematics, so Ye Chen, you have to pay attention to it. β
Ye Chen nodded cooperatively, and when Wang Kong saw this, he nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"In view of the attention paid to the above, and the bonus points are also very considerable, the school leaders also attach great importance to it, so each class will be called together for special training to participate in the competition, fortunately, the school's teachers are more sufficient, so I plan to tutor the three of you alone, now there are two and a half months before the college entrance examination, and the course has been taught very early. However, since the game time is four days later, the time is relatively tight. Therefore, starting tomorrow, the three of you will come to my office for special training every evening during the evening self-study time. β
"Okay, what's the problem?"
After speaking, Wang Kong looked at Ye Chen and the others, and when he saw that the three of them shook their heads and said that there was no problem, they said, "That's nothing, you guys go back." β
Dong Yuqi was the first to walk out of the office, Liu Ming followed Ye Chen, and as soon as he walked a few steps out of the office, he saw Liu Ming suddenly stop and turn back to Ye Chen and said:
"Ye Chen, don't forget our agreement. β
Ye Chen looked at Liu Ming's serious expression, smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I'll attend. β
Liu Ming nodded, and then walked to the classroom. Looking at Liu Mingyuan's back, Ye Chen touched his chin, and suddenly felt that he had a lot of things to solve recently, the Xingchen Cup Fairy Tale Creation Competition, the National Youth Literature Creation Competition, this damn system will not let him rest.
A system of all evils!
In the evening, Ye Chen returned home, turned on the computer, and began to inquire about the information of some publishing houses, Ye Chen never forgot his dream, to be honest, Ye Chen felt that he had indeed been a little delayed recently, and the tasks on his body were indeed a bit much, Ye Chen made up his mind to start his own methodical plan after participating in the National Youth Literature Creation Competition, and now he has to make a name for himself first.
As for the Star Cup Fairy Tale Writing Contest, there is no worry, it is a competition jointly organized by many publishing houses, and you only need to write a manuscript and submit it to any of them.
Ye Chen was browsing the information about some publishing houses on the Internet, and he was thinking about his future plans in his heart, the advantage of having a high-level memorability is that he can also use it for two purposes, anyway, as long as he has browsed it, he can recall it afterwards, and he can keep it forever.
Ye Chen's positioning is also very accurate, after all, Ye Chen was an editor in his previous life, and he was clear about some things about the publishing house, so Ye Chen browsed some small and medium-sized publishing houses, and the publishing channels of these publishing houses were okay, and because of the relatively small scale, there was a lack of very famous writers, so they paid more attention to newcomers, and those large publishing houses were different, although there were more resources, but they were basically concentrated on those writers who were already very famous, relatively speaking, for newcomers, it was easier to get ahead.
After repeated comparisons, there are three publishing houses that Ye Chen likes better, Tianxing Publishing House, Deyun Publishing House and Huayu Publishing House. These three publishing houses also have their own benefits, Tianxing Publishing House is the largest, Deyun Publishing House is the oldest, and Huayu Publishing House is the best.
After some consideration, Ye Chen still chose Huayu Publishing House, first of all, Huayu Publishing House is a publishing house that has just been founded in recent years, although the resources are relatively poor, but the market is very sharp, and for Ye Chen, he will definitely not be satisfied with becoming a novel author specializing in a certain type in the future, which is also the most important point in choosing Huayu Publishing House.
Secondly, Huayu Publishing House has a relatively high treatment for newcomers, which is also the second factor that Ye Chen considers.
As for the third, Huayu Publishing House is in Qingyang City, so it is more convenient to send a contract or something, so there is no need to mention it.
After choosing a publishing house, Ye Chen began to think about what type of book he wanted to write and submit, which means that Ye Chen has this confidence, after all, there are a large number of excellent novels in his mind, and there is no need to worry about not being able to write them.
But after all, it is the first book, you still have to pay attention to it, the first book is famous, and the road in the future will be much easier, Ye Chen thought about it for a long time, and many excellent novel names flashed in his mind, Ye Chen was a little difficult, they were all so good, but he didn't know how to choose.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't cry or laugh, he was probably the first author who didn't know which one to write because the work in his mind was too good, right?
After another half a day, Ye Chen was really difficult to choose, and he was hesitating, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he slapped his thigh, thinking that he was really stupid, in vain he was still an experienced editor in his previous life, and he couldn't see it clearly when it was his turn, if he put two equally excellent novels in front of him in his previous life, he would definitely give priority to works with a wide market audience.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen excitedly picked up the mouse and began to inquire about the publication of best-selling novels in recent years, Ye Chen also has his own way, if he stupidly writes down the sales records of all the best-selling books in recent years, although it is comprehensive, but the workload is too great, on the contrary, Ye Chen just logged on to a website.
Scroll Net!
Shujuan.com is the most authoritative website about book reading in China, the website will record all the published books on the market, and then scored by the netizens who have bought and read them on the book-scroll network, and in view of the importance of culture in China, the mass reading atmosphere of the empire is also very strong, so the number of registered members of the book-roll network is also quite large, and many publishing houses will refer to the book-roll network to a large extent when analyzing the market orientation, therefore, the book-scroll network is very convincing in the score and various data of the book.
Ye Chen skillfully entered the URL, logged in to his account, and then began to browse the book network, clicking on the book category, and the following are the ratings and reviews of various books, as well as sales data.
After a general glance, Ye Chen found that some aspects were roughly the same as in his previous life, the number of purely literary books sold was relatively low, and books with strong stories such as novels were more popular in the market.
Ye Chen browsed the past one by one in the classification of novels, science fiction, biography, history, etc., but soon Ye Chen found that something was wrong, that is, he didn't seem to see the classification of mystery novels, Ye Chen read it carefully again, and still didn't.
Ye Chen's heart was a little thumping, and then he searched for the word mystery novel on the web.
Sure enough, as I guessed, there is no mystery novel in this world!
Ye Chen thought at first that there might not be "Sherlock Holmes", but he didn't expect that a bigger surprise was waiting for him here, there was not even a mystery novel in this world!
In his previous life, Ye Chen, who was a fan of mystery novels, can say that he has read countless mystery novels, since there are no mystery novels in this world, let yourself create the genre of mystery novels!
What? You say market-oriented? Genre-opening novels need to think about the market?
Ye Chen turned off the book net, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then began to think about which mystery novel he should write first, the first thing that came to mind was "Sherlock Holmes", but Ye Chen then vetoed it, as for the reason is very simple, that is, you can't raise the reader's taste from the beginning, but you should fish slowly, or how to say that the novel editor is a person who people love and hate? Ye Chen is!
Although he vetoed "Sherlock Holmes" in his heart, Ye Chen still attached great importance to his first book in his heart, and one after another classic mystery novels crossed his mind, and then fixed on a mystery book recommended by an old professor in college literature class, which was also the first mystery novel Ye Chen had ever read.
Well, that's it! And fortunately, there is a great artist in this world, and he doesn't need to modify it himself, and this work is a tribute to him in a sense!
Ye Chen didn't hurry to start coding words immediately, but made himself a cup of tea unhurriedly, and then came to the computer unhurriedly and typed a line of words.
The Da Vinci Code
Wedge:
"MusΓ©e des Beaux-Arts Louvre, Paris, 10:46 p.m. β
"Inside the Grand Gallery of the Louvre's vaulted art, the respected museum director Jacques. Sonnier stumbled to the closest painting he had seenβa Caravaggio painting. The seventy-five-year-old jerked at the gilded frame and pulled it towards him. The frame was finally ripped off the wall, and Sonier fell backwards, covered under the canvas canvas. β
Outside the window, I don't know when it was raining, Ye Chen in the room was concentrating on the codeword, occasionally picking up the teacup next to him and taking a slight sip, only the sound of crackling fingers tapping on the keyboard echoed in the small room
Ye Chen's speed of coding words is very fast, and for reasons that he doesn't have to think about it, Ye Chen coded twenty chapters in one night, until there was a sore feeling in his fingers, Ye Chen saved the novel, closed the notebook, stretched his waist, and prepared to go to bed.
After looking at the time, it was already half past five in the morning, and in another hour I would start my morning self-study.
Ye Chen turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed, as for the matter of class, let's talk about it when I wake up!
Ye Chen slept until the afternoon, and after waking up, he still felt dizzy, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, staying up late is really a thing that hurts his body, he was excited all night yesterday, and he slept for a day, and now he still feels uncomfortable.
It seems that you will have to stay up late in the future, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, Ye Chen said to himself secretly in his heart.
After getting up, Ye Chen ran to the kitchen to get himself something to eat, took out his mobile phone and saw that there were several missed calls, all of which were called by Wang Kong.
Presumably he was a little anxious when he found that he didn't go to class for a day, and Ye Chen's parents had passed away and he could only contact Ye Chen himself, thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at the time, half past five in the afternoon.
Although I don't want to go to evening self-study, the biggest advantage of adults is self-discipline, so I decided to go to school, and by the way, I took three days off to finish writing "The Da Vinci Code", procrastination is not Ye Chen's style.
