Chapter 449: Conversation

Gu Yongsheng landed on the first Chinese network with his new work "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and after the news was released, it was naturally a big storm, and it was not only the Internet writers' circle.

Some believe that Liu Jingting has spotted the commercial potential of online literature and is ready to enter the game circle and further expand his commercial territory, which can be seen from the online novel he wrote in a vest;

Some believe that this is Liu Jingting's second attempt at writing transformation, as the traditional martial arts novels pioneered and led by him have inevitably come to an end, the transformation to fantasy and fantasy novels with a more magnificent world view and more magnificent imagination is the general trend, as a semi-commercial author, Liu Jingting cannot fail to recognize this.

In addition, about the pros and cons of Gu Yongsheng's entry into the game, everyone also has their own opinions, supporters believe that Gu Yongsheng's entry into the online literature circle will bring greater attention and exposure to the entire industry, and will also improve the identity and status of online literature practitioners from the side.

Moreover, Gu Yongsheng will bring a considerable number of potential readers to the online literature circle.

Opponents believe that with Gu Yongsheng's style of acting, he has never fallen into meaningless chess pieces, and the various brilliant deeds of the "ancient gods" have been circulating in the market so far, and now he is willing to spend so much energy on the serialization of online novels, and his plan must not be small, and his entry into the game may break the pattern of the current stable development of online literature.

Taking a step back, Gu Yongsheng's entry into the online literature circle will definitely attract a lot of attention in one fell swoop. Whether it's a website, readers, or media forums, important resources will definitely come first.

It is almost theoretically impossible to unify the comments on any one of the top events.

This time. The first thing Dai Yaowen had to do was not to hold a celebration banquet, not to declare war on Duzhi to the media, but to call Liu Jingting.

"Mr. Dai, you must understand that this is not a long-term plan for the development of a website, a person can't resist a website, even if he can, it is only temporary. Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

Liu Jingting said frankly.

"That's true, that's why I want to learn from Mr. Liu. ”

"The three gods of the last time. The combination of these two things shows one thing, it is urgent to launch a plan to systematically train new talents, and to achieve sustainable development of the website and even the entire industry. The excavation and cultivation of potential newcomers is a key point that cannot be bypassed. ”

"Mr. Liu means ......"

"The most common is of course the Newcomer Award Essay. Attract authors to submit with generous benefits and bonuses. ”

"Well, I've already given the pen a task to the dragon. ”

Then there is the setting up of training courses, which are held regularly for newcomers, and teach them the experience and rules of online literature that have been concluded, so that they will not take the wrong path on the road of creation in the future. ”

"Well, that's working on that too. ”

"This is actually very important, if you put in the people and material resources, then make sure that you do the best. Make sure that the writer in the class actually learns something, and not makes it a formality. ”

"Yes. This needs to be noted, and I will communicate this with a few department heads later. ”

"The last point, which I have summed up from my experience in doing magazines, is to train writers in a targeted manner, for example, our editors will tailor the topic selection for the contracted authors of our magazine, and I think this process can be used as a reference for online novels. ”

Dai Yaowen paused for a moment and said: "This operation is not easy, after all, there are too many online authors, and many authors are only willing to write their own things and do not accept constraints." ”

For example, a potential author has recently finished a work and is preparing a new book, and the new book does not have a clear idea, at this time, the editor can make a corresponding topic according to the current market trend or according to a popular red book, and hand the idea and outline to the author. ”

"It worked, I remembered. ”

"Actually, there are some best-selling works in Japan, which are industrial manufacturing, and this method naturally has advantages and disadvantages for literature, but for commercial novels, there are many things to learn from. ”

"Is it just to treat the novelist as a craftsman and the novel as a product?"

Of course, there are two important principles for this approach, one is to grasp a degree, too much, the market's acceptance is limited after all, and the repeated repetition of a model will definitely collapse the reader;

The other is the discovery of new models, which can be learned from the author or summarized by himself. ”

The conversation between Dai Yaowen and Liu Jingting lasted for nearly an hour, from the development of online articles to the possible future cooperation between the two sides, Liu Jingting's point of view is relatively clear, the serialization of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is not what everyone says about the commercial layout, what is the springboard for entering the game and animation, but purely to save the scene.

"After this novel, I can't look forward to the next one. ”

Liu Jingting told Dai Yaowen frankly that Dai Yaowen can naturally understand that this is an industry with huge potential, but Liu Jingting's personal energy is limited after all, and aside from commercial entertainment novels such as martial arts and reasoning, he also shoulders the ardent expectations of traditional writers.

After this conversation with Dai Yaowen, "The Great Tang" also officially entered the serialization period of the new book, and the traffic of the first Chinese network also doubled as expected.

On Saturday, Liu Jingting went to Director Kang's house alone, I don't know if he deliberately left enough space for the master and apprentice, Professor Wen went to the college office as usual today.

Liu Jingting, who was still nervous on the road, suddenly calmed down a lot after entering the house, and when he changed his shoes in the entrance, he was completely calm.

"When I first participated in the essay contest, I dared to walk around the school garden with Director Kang, not to mention now?"

After arriving in the living room, Director Kang beckoned him to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Before. Director Kang is "drinking water and eating by himself", and today he took the initiative to pour water for himself, which is a bit abnormal.

Liu Jingting sat on the sofa. Wait quietly.

"I called you today to talk to you about your novel. Director Kang said casually, looking at Liu Jingting's gaze was also different from before.

Liu Jingting nodded: "You say, the head of the garden." ”

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer". ”

"Hmm, why did the teacher suddenly want to talk about this novel?"

"Coincidentally, I once passed by a class, and it was a mathematics department, and I was curious to hear the professor in the classroom reciting the novel to the students. I wondered how a math professor could be so obsessed with a martial arts novel. ”

Liu Jingting also smiled, didn't he know that "martial arts is a fairy tale for adults" came from the mouth of the great mathematician Hua Luogeng?

"It took me about a week to read the novel and I got a rough idea of the professor's state of mind. Very wonderful story. ”

Liu Jingting said modestly: "Thank you, principal." ”

Director Kang waved his hand and corrected: "It's better for the teacher to listen to the ear." ”

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Director Kang nodded and continued: "What I want to talk about most today is the concept of love in this novel. ”

Liu Jingting was even more surprised, and looked at Director Kang suspiciously.

"Zhang Wuji is a passive person in love. This character doesn't change even at the end. Isn't that right?"

Liu Jingting nodded.

"In the scene of Zhao Min's marriage robbery, if Zhou Zhiruo is willing to compromise and promise to wait for Zhang Wuji to come back and get married, maybe it will be another ending, Zhang Wuji not only lacks political literacy, but is also a mess emotionally. ”

"He's an ordinary person. ”

"Yes," Director Kang pointed his finger in the void and said, "Zhang Wuji is an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere. ”

Liu Jingting nodded.

"So. Jingting, what about you?" said Kang Yuan's words abruptly.

"Me?"

"Yes, teacher, I want to ask Jingting today. What about you, are you like Zhang Wuji or Yang Guo, or Guo Jing?"

"I ......" Liu Jingting didn't expect the director to ask this question anyway, and hesitated for a while and said: "I appreciate Guo Jing and Huang Rong more." ”

Director Kang smiled and said, "Immodestly, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are more like me and your wife." ”

"That's true. ”

"But Jingting, you're shifting the question, what I just asked you is, which of them do you think you are, don't say the difference between virtual and reality, there must be similarities in nature, you name it. ”

Liu Jingting pondered for a long time, and finally unfortunately, he found that he was an ordinary person emotionally, at least after coming to this planet.

"I think, I'm pretty open-minded. Liu Jingting said.

"I think so. Director Kang stared at Liu Jingting's eyes and said.

"However, the slight difference between me and Zhang Wuji is that I am now determined. ”

Director Kang waved his hand silently, and suddenly leaned back on the sofa and fell silent.

Liu Jingting was puzzled, but he didn't continue to speak.

This atmosphere of silence lasted for nearly two minutes before Director Kang spoke again: "Ling Yue, she ...... Like you. ”

Liu Jingting's expression changed slightly, and he let out an "ah".

"I know that you young people like to play the difference between 'like' and 'love', I don't know if in your place, like and love mean the same thing, if not, then I will correct it, Lingyue She loves you. ”

Speaking of this, Director Kang smiled meaninglessly and continued: "I also thought that you would come together for a while, because I have met so many excellent young people, and I still think that no one can be worthy of Ling Yue, and you are just barely making do. ”

Liu Jingting was shocked and speechless.

"I'm telling you this, not to change your decision, but I think you need to know it, if you really don't know it. ”

Liu Jingting shook his head in confusion.

"Ling Yue came home early that morning with red and swollen eyes, your wife and I were very surprised, how many years have not seen her cry at night, we guessed for a long time, thought of all kinds of possibilities, and finally agreed that most of them were quarreled with you, but we didn't ask the reason, parents should intervene in their children in moderation.

It wasn't until lunch that she said it herself, she said that you were going to marry Yang Lilu. ”

Liu Jingting didn't know what to say, so he had to say nothing.

"You're getting married, so she's sad and sad because she's falling in love with you at some point, you know?"

Liu Jingting shook his head, then nodded again, like a puppet.

"So Jingting, I'm going to give you a task, I hope you can use the most traceless and quiet method to get her out of this situation and let her come back happily as soon as possible, okay?"

Liu Jingting: "......"

"Huh?"

"Yes. ”

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Liu Jingting shook his head, his mind gradually recovered, and he began to sort out the logical relationship between this matter. (To be continued......)
